“A Sha…”
Enduring the immense discomfort, Gu Han bit the tip of his tongue, and his trembling arm reached out, resting on A Sha’s shoulder.
“What… happened to you…?”
“Young Master.”
As Gu Han touched her,
the two faint lights in A Sha’s eyes instantly vanished.
However, her gaze once again became hazy and blank, as if her previous liveliness and vivacity had disappeared along with the faint lights.
“Young Master…”
A deep weariness appeared on her face, and she directly lay in Gu Han’s arms.
“A Sha is so tired…”
Damn it!
Hearing her address him,
Gu Han’s heart sank sharply.
Before he could finish speaking,
A Sha, just like before, fell into a deep sleep again.
“Kill me… please…”
To the side,
the Man was still pleading bitterly, but his voice grew weaker and weaker.
Gu Han was seething with rage.
“If it weren’t for you, how could A Sha have become like this again!”
“You want a quick death?”
“Impossible!”
He gave him a cold glance, picked up A Sha, and instantly disappeared into the distance.
“Roar!”
A moment later,
several roars rang out!
It was the nearby Yao Beasts, who had detected the smell of blood and had all come here.
His fate
was self-evident.
…
“What did you say?!”
Inside the consciousness space,
the black figure listened to Gu Han’s narration, extremely agitated, and suddenly stood up, rubbing his hands non-stop.
“Good, good, good!”
“I never expected to encounter such a Heaven-Defying Bloodline in this remote corner!”
“Hahaha! This is Lord’s fortune, my fortune!”
“Bloodline?”
Gu Han frowned deeply.
“What Bloodline?!”
“Kid, don’t you understand?”
The black figure was still incredibly excited.
“Do you think everyone in the world is like you, a completely useless mortal Physique?”
“Heh heh, to tell you the truth, there are countless Geniuses in the world, like carps crossing a river. Among them, some will Awaken special Physiques or Bloodlines in their youth, and such people are called Geniuses among Geniuses! As long as they can grow smoothly and cultivate their Physique or Bloodline to Major Achievement, they can at least become a hegemon of a region!”
“And that little girl…”
He was a bit envious.
“She Awakened the Eye of Insight Bloodline! Tsk tsk tsk, among the top ten recognized powerful Bloodlines and Physiques, it can definitely occupy a place! As for what you said about her being able to see where Spirit Medicine grows, that’s just its most basic use. Legend has it that if this Eye of Insight is cultivated to Major Achievement, it can see through the past and future, and when fighting against others, it is inherently invincible!”
“On the contrary, you!”
He looked at Gu Han, his tone full of disdain.
“A mere mortal Physique, yet you’ve taken in a maidservant with the Eye of Insight. Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of dog-shit luck is this?”
“And you?”
Gu Han looked at him coldly.
“What kind of Physique or Bloodline do you have?”
“Lord is a naturally Indestructible Demonic Physique. Although it’s not as good as the Eye of Insight, it can still rank in the top fifty. Kid, you can’t envy me!”
“Is that so?”
Gu Han sneered.
“Then where is your Demonic Physique? Why are you only left with this remnant Soul Power?”
“…”
The black figure was speechless.
This little bastard might not be good at anything else, but his ability to stab at the heart was superb!
“Cough cough…”
He didn’t dare to overly provoke Gu Han, so he immediately changed the subject.
“You said earlier that her soul was incomplete, and the reason is right here! The Dao is most fair. This Heaven-Defying Eye of Insight, if it reaches Major Achievement, is almost invincible, but it has a fatal flaw! That is, each use consumes Soul Power! The stronger the Bloodline, the greater the consumption naturally!”
“In ancient times, a Major Achievement Eye of Insight appeared, sweeping across the world and almost shattering half of heaven and earth, but it mysteriously disappeared in the end. It must have been due to the depletion of its Soul Power.”
Gu Han understood instantly.
A Sha’s two periods of deep sleep
were both because she was worried about him, so she subconsciously used the Eye of Insight, leading to the loss of Soul Power.
“Kid.”
The black figure said a lot, but finally revealed his true purpose.
“How about this, how about Lord takes that little girl as a disciple? Don’t worry, if she becomes Lord’s disciple…”
“No!”
Gu Han refused without thinking.
“How about this, Lord will exchange the golden seal with you, how about it?”
“No!”
“Don’t be ungrateful! This golden seal is… Cough cough, how about this, Lord truly swears by the Dao this time, as long as you release Lord and let her become Lord’s disciple, Lord will definitely cultivate her with all my might, and as for her Soul Power loss, Lord will naturally find a way to solve it, how about it?”
“So, your previous oath was fake?”
Gu Han’s expression was displeased.
“Indeed, you are not a good thing! Not a single word of yours can be believed!”
“…That’s not important, just tell me if you agree or not. Do you know how many people are crying and begging to become Lord’s disciples…”
“Goodbye!”
Gu Han completely ignored him and turned to leave.
“You wait!”
Seeing Gu Han disappear instantly, the black figure cursed furiously.
“I’ll kill you sooner or later!”
“I will definitely take this disciple!”
…
Inside a hidden cave.
Gu Han slowly opened his eyes, glanced at A Sha, who had taken another Medicinal Pill and was sleeping soundly. He collected his thoughts and took out his spoils of war.
Several beast cores.
Over three hundred yuan crystals.
In addition, there was a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills to boost cultivation and a bottle of Blood Replenishing Pills for healing.
They were all the lowest grade of Medicinal Pills.
However,
from the Storage Pouch of that scar-faced Man,
Gu Han actually found two Spirit Medicines. Although they were far inferior to Profound Ginseng, they were still a small surprise.
In fact, Loose Cultivators are mostly poor and often face various dangers and conflicts. When they acquire resources, they prioritize enhancing their cultivation, so there isn’t much profit to be gained from them.
He directly poured the bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills into his mouth.
He then grabbed several yuan crystals and fully absorbed the Spiritual Qi within them.
If others saw him,
they would naturally mock Gu Han for not knowing his limits.
Medicinal Pills contain Medicinal Pill toxins.
yuan crystals contain impure Qi.
Therefore, ordinary cultivators are always cautious, refining them slowly. If one were to absorb them all at once like Gu Han, regardless of the consequences, although it could temporarily boost cultivation, in the long run, the Foundation would be corroded by the impure Qi and Medicinal Pill toxins, making further progress impossible.
Gu Han naturally understood this principle.
But when he absorbed the yang fruit last time, he already understood the peculiarity of his newly formed Meridians.
Impure Qi?
Medicinal Pill toxins?
…
No matter what it was,
after being flushed by those small vortices, it would all be completely expelled, and only the purest Spiritual Qi would reach his Meridians!
Inside the Meridians,
strands of pure Spiritual Qi continuously descended, becoming part of the spiritual liquid, flowing non-stop through the Meridians.
Meridian Opening,
is to completely unblock all Meridians within the body.
The human body has twelve main Meridians and three hundred sixty branch Meridians, corresponding to the number of the Great Cycle.
Therefore, although the human body is fragile, it is inherently blessed by the Dao and is the easiest Physique to cultivate. Whether it’s a Yao Beast or an exotic species, no matter what their original form, most eventually choose to transform into human form, and that is the reason why.
As one branch Meridian after another was unblocked,
the yuan crystals on the ground also decreased at a visible rate.
Eighty-nine roots.
Ninety roots!
Suddenly,
Gu Han’s aura trembled, and he instantly stepped into the Meridian Opening Third Stage, and those yuan crystals, along with the two Spirit Medicines, were completely consumed!
“Hoo…”
He exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, then took out the Profound Ginseng, and without thinking, directly shoved it into his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed it!
In an instant!
A surge of Spiritual Qi, far more vigorous than before, filled his Meridians!
The spiritual power provided by this single Profound Ginseng directly surpassed all that he had consumed previously!
After a while,
he opened his eyes again.
His cultivation had already reached the Meridian Opening Fourth Stage!
However,
he didn’t show any joy.
The widening of Meridians and the liquefaction of spiritual power naturally brought extremely powerful combat strength, but the accompanying consumption was also more than ten times that of ordinary people, and the further he progressed, the more terrifying this consumption would become!
“Mmm…”
Just then,
A Sha seemed to have finally slept enough, rubbing her eyes as she sat up.
“Young Master.”
“A Sha?”
Gu Han’s heart filled with joy, and he no longer dwelled on the matter of resources.
“How are you?”
“I slept so comfortably.”
Although the liveliness in A Sha’s eyes had returned, her spirits were a bit low.
“But I had a dream again.”
“A dream?”
“Yes.”
A Sha stared intently at Gu Han.
“I dreamed again that I was taken away by someone, but… I couldn’t bear to leave Young Master…”
“A Sha.”
Seeing that she had finally returned to normal, Gu Han didn’t think much of it, instead, his expression became serious.
“Tell me, what did you feel when you saw those people earlier?”
“They are all bad people!”
A Sha said angrily, “Like Commander Gu, they all want to kill Young Master! I don’t have cultivation, so I can’t help Young Master fight, I can only glare at them!”
“Young Master!”
Speaking of which,
she was a little excited.
“I feel like it was still useful…”
“A Sha!”
Gu Han’s expression suddenly became serious.
“Remember, you must never do that again, understand?!”
“Why?”
“No why!”
Gu Han’s tone became increasingly stern.
“Listen to me, if I say no, then no! Those people can’t hurt me, nor can they kill me! What you need to do is stand by and watch how I counter-kill them, understand?!”
“Yes.”
Seeing Gu Han get angry at her for the first time, A Sha subconsciously nodded.
“I understand, Young Master.”
“You’ve already helped me a lot.”
Seeing her agree, Gu Han finally relaxed, and his tone softened, “The Profound Ginseng you helped me find was a great help. Without it, my cultivation wouldn’t have improved so quickly.”
“Young Master.”
A Sha’s eyes lit up again.
“Then can I continue to help you find Spirit Medicine in the future?”
“That, you can.”
“That’s great, shall we go now?”
“Let’s go now!”
Gu Han slowly stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
“And… kill people!”
“Kill people?”
“Godfather said, those who kill shall be killed! Now, in this Barren Forest, many people want my life! So I’ve decided… to take their lives first!”
…
Somewhere in the Barren Forest.
A dozen or so people were gathered, their cultivation levels varied, ranging from Meridian Opening First Stage to Meridian Opening Sixth Stage.
They were a group of Loose Cultivators who had spontaneously gathered to cooperate in order to earn a bounty.
“Bad luck! We haven’t found a single ghost!”
“He wouldn’t have heard the news and hidden, would he? This area is so big, where do we even look for him?”
“Sigh! I knew these two thousand yuan crystals wouldn’t be so easy to earn!”
“Whether we find him or not, we have to look. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
“…”
Everyone discussed non-stop.
Suddenly,
a cold voice came from not far away.
“I heard you’re looking for me?”
Before the words finished,
a young Man, carrying a delicate and lovely little girl on his back, and holding a broken sword in his hand, slowly approached the crowd.
It was Gu Han and A Sha!
