Her gaze was fixed on Tantai Xueling.
"Our mission this time is called a training exercise, but in reality... it’s to cleanse the family! Simultaneously, it’s also to find an item that might determine the future rise or fall of the Tantai Family, a ’key’! This ’key’ very likely has something to do with the plan to break the seal by Venerable Ming River!"
"Key?"
Tantai Xueling slightly frowned.
"Indeed."
Tantai Bingtang’s voice was low and deep.
"According to the family secret records, the old ghost from the Nether River once betrayed a Holy Land Saintess and bore a daughter with her! This girl possesses a special bloodline, potentially... being the key to unlock an ancient hidden treasure!
If we can find this girl, perhaps we can uncover the old ghost’s real plans, and even... discover a way to eradicate him completely!"
She looked at Tantai Xueling, her tone solemn.
"Xueling, Linyin Pavilion’s intelligence network spans the East Desolation, making it very convenient to search for people. I hope... you can use Linlang Pavilion’s power to secretly investigate the whereabouts of this girl! This concerns the safety of the East Desolation and the entire Tantai Family!"
Tantai Xueling was silent for a moment, a cold glimmer flashing in her eyes.
She slowly opened her mouth.
"Helping you find her is possible. But... what are the conditions? You know, I never make a losing deal."
Tantai Bingtang seemed to have anticipated this, giving a slight smile.
"Conditions? Naturally, it’s the unfinished transaction between us sisters. You help me find her, and I’ll... tell you the whereabouts of that item. How about it?"
Tantai Xueling’s eyes instantly became sharp as knives, staring intently at Tantai Bingtang! The air between them seemed to freeze once more!
Linyin Pavilion’s underground level, Alchemy Room.
The crimson Pill Furnace hummed and trembled, its lid seams filled with nine dazzling golden Elixir Patterns swirling endlessly, diffusing a rich and ultimate medicinal fragrance!
Within that fragrance lies a strange power, as if it could transform all things!
Nine-striped Dispersing Pill! Complete!
Gu Sheng’s eyes gleamed as he flicked his fingers! The lid opened with a responding sound!
A dragon-eye-sized, perfectly round elixir pill with nine golden stripes slowly rose from the furnace, floating in mid-air!
"Yuanyuan!"
Gu Sheng shouted softly.
Gu Yuanyuan, who had already been waiting by the side, suddenly opened her eyes!
Determination in her gaze, she reached out unhesitatingly, grabbed the Nine-striped Dispersing Pill, and swallowed it up!
As the elixir entered her mouth, it immediately dissolved! An indescribable pain instantly swept through her entire body!
She felt the initially docile True Yuan in her body suddenly boiling, rampaging!
Her meridians felt as if pierced by countless steel needles, and the Elixir Field and Qi Sea seemed like being fiercely stirred by an invisible giant hand!
"Ugh—!"
Gu Yuanyuan let out a painful groan, her face instantly turning as pale as paper, cold sweat pouring out, soaking her clothes!
Her petite body began to tremble violently, almost unable to remain seated!
"Reverse the cultivation technique! Disperse!"
Gu Sheng’s voice boomed like thunder in her Sea of Consciousness!
Gu Yuanyuan bit her lip hard, enduring the soul-tearing pain, forcefully reversing the Basic Cultivation Technique as directed by Gu Sheng before!
The True Yuan within her, already violent, completely lost control as she reversed the technique! Frenziedly rushing toward the meridians and scattering!
"Concentrating Spirit! Guide!"
Gu Sheng shouted with a low voice, his powerful spiritual power entering Gu Yuanyuan’s body instantly like the most precise probe!
His spiritual power transformed into countless invisible threads, precisely guiding the raging and scattered True Yuan to avoid the fragile meridians and apertures, following specific pathways to be expelled from her body’s pores!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
Thick mists of True Yuan erupted from Gu Yuanyuan’s body!
Her aura plummeted rapidly! From the Peak of Sect Realm... Late Stage of Sect Realm... Mid Stage of Sect Realm... Early Stage of Sect Realm... Peak of Heavenly Martial Realm... Late Stage of Heavenly Martial Realm...
In just tens of breaths, the cultivation she had painstakingly refined over many years swiftly melted away like snow under the sun!
Ultimately, everything returned to nothingness!
She collapsed to the ground, her entire body soaked, face pale as paper, her breath as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, without the strength to even lift a finger.
Yet her eyes were exceptionally bright, filled with the gratitude of having survived a calamity and a firm determination for the future!
"It’s now! Activate the ’Mixed Element Qi Scripture’!"
Gu Sheng’s voice echoed once more, carrying an undeniable force!
Gu Yuanyuan mustered her last bit of spirit and closed her eyes.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the mysterious cultivation technique words of the ’Mixed Element Qi Scripture’ instantly became clear!
She abandoned distracting thoughts and fully activated this brand-new, extremely profound Ancient cultivation technique!
As soon as she started the technique, a sudden change occurred!
The dense Spiritual Energy in the Alchemy Room, as if responding to some supreme summons, crazily converged towards Gu Yuanyuan!
A massive whirlwind of Spiritual Energy, visible to the naked eye, instantaneously formed around her!
At the center of the vortex, Gu Yuanyuan’s newly cleansed body, like a bottomless pit, greedily devoured the vast amounts of Spiritual Energy!
Gu Sheng’s eyes shone brightly! The Mixed Element Spirit Body! So domineering! Just after dispersing cultivation, it could summon such a terrifying Spiritual Energy tide!
He dared not slack off; with a thought, a pigeon-egg-sized bead appeared in his palm—completely ice blue, exuding a bone-chilling coldness—the Ice Soul Pearl!
"Open your mouth!"
Gu Sheng shouted in a low voice.
Gu Yuanyuan instinctively opened her small mouth.
Gu Sheng flicked a finger, and the Ice Soul Pearl transformed into a stream of blue light, accurately entering Gu Yuanyuan’s mouth!
The Ice Soul Pearl melted upon entry, instantly turning into a vast and pure stream of energy with an extreme cold breath!
This torrent did not freeze her meridians; rather, like the gentlest spring, it flowed throughout her entire body, nourishing her meridians made fragile by the dispersion, soothing the tearing pain!
Moreover, a refreshing sensation surged directly into her Sea of Consciousness, invigorating her spirit exhausted by the intense pain!
Nourished and guided by the energy of the Ice Soul Pearl, Gu Yuanyuan rapidly accelerated the operation of the ’Mixed Element Qi Scripture’!
The enormous Spiritual Energy vortex, as if having found an outlet, surged more frantically into her body!
Her previously paper-pale face began to redden visibly, and her weak breath started to rise swiftly!
Gu Sheng stood nearby, eyes sharp, closely observing every change within Gu Yuanyuan’s body.
He could clearly "see" that the massive influx of Spiritual Energy into Gu Yuanyuan’s body did not operate sluggishly within her meridians like ordinary Martial Artists.
Instead, it was instantly absorbed and assimilated by her Mixed Element Spirit Body, transforming into a more refined, more concentrated True Yuan with an ancient aura of primordial chaos!
This True Yuan flowed through her body, slowly and steadily transforming her physique, broadening her meridians, and strengthening her foundation!
"The Mixed Element Spirit Body... truly lives up to its name!"
Gu Sheng silently praised in his heart. At this pace, Gu Yuanyuan’s speed of cultivating again might far exceed ordinary expectations!
In the Alchemy Room of Linyin Pavilion, the Spiritual Energy vortex gradually subsided.
Gu Yuanyuan sat cross-legged, her aura now stabilizing at the peak of the Spirit Martial Realm!
The True Yuan flowing within her was no longer as mixed as before; instead, it had become pure and concentrated, with an ancient aura, precisely the unique Mixed Element True Essence of the ’Mixed Element Qi Scripture’!
Her skin glowed with a jade-like luster, her eyes clear and bright, her entire being seeming renewed, exuding a restrained yet powerful spiritual charm.
Gu Sheng looked at her, eyes filled with satisfaction.
With a flip of his wrist, a pigeon-egg-sized, entirely crystal-clear, emitting a gentle glow and rich vitality glazed crystal appeared in his palm—the Glazed Heart gifted by Elder Bai Yu previously!
"Open your mouth."
Gu Sheng’s voice was calm.
Gu Yuanyuan obediently opened her small mouth.
Gu Sheng flicked a finger, and the Glazed Heart transformed into a stream of light, entering Gu Yuanyuan’s mouth!
The Glazed Heart melted upon entry, instantly becoming a vast and grand stream of pure energy containing endless vitality!
This energy, like warm spring water, coursed through Gu Yuanyuan’s body instantly, nourishing every inch of her flesh, bones, and meridians!
Her aura, which had been somewhat unstable due to the recent dispersion and cultivation, instantly solidified and grew robust!
Her physique was further enhanced and purified, as if undergoing a profound cleansing!
