Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1766 - 896: The Holy Realm Barrier of Cultivators Over Countless Ages

Hearing the words "Clear Heart Divine Pill," especially its effects, Fan Qingcheng’s delicate body trembled suddenly. Her ethereal eyes instantly shone with surprising brilliance. She took a step forward, her gaze fixed intently on that elixir pill, and her breathing became somewhat rapid.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in her heart, and looked at Gu Sheng, her tone carrying unprecedented seriousness and a hint of earnestness.
"Young Master Gu! This Clear Heart Divine Pill is crucial for me... for my lady! She... was ambushed by a formidable enemy in her early years, suffering severe injuries, causing her realm to fall from the peak of the Ninth Turn Venerable all the way down to the Eighth Transformation, and she has not recovered to this day.
This pill is precisely what she needs most at present! Qingcheng earnestly pleads with Young Master Gu, could you transfer this pill to me? You can name your price, Qingcheng will not bargain! Or, as long as it’s within my power, whatever condition, you can propose it!"
Gu Sheng heard this, a trace of understanding flickered in his eyes, but he did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked in return.
"Master Fan... sustained such heavy injuries? Fell in realm?"
Fan Qingcheng, seeing Gu Sheng’s inquiry, unhesitatingly formed a sealing with her hands. A gentle yet resilient power of space spread out, instantly sealing the space around the two, isolating all perceptions inside and out.
Only then did she lower her voice, her expression grave as she explained.
"This matter concerns my lady’s safety and is top secret. I ask Young Master Gu to keep it confidential. My lady suffered a disaster back then, her injuries were extremely severe, not only damaging her foundation but also her source. Ordinary elixir pills cannot compensate for it. Only such a third-grade Heart-Clearing Divine Pill, which can cleanse the divine soul, stabilize the source, and help one comprehend breakthroughs, offers a slim hope to help her repair her Dao injuries and return to the peak of the Ninth Turn! For her, this pill is no less than a lifesaving item!"
Her tone contained an urgency and anticipation that could not be concealed.
Gu Sheng looked at the agitated and pleading Fan Qingcheng. After a brief contemplation, he did not directly agree or refuse but rather proposed his condition.
"Transferring this Clear Heart Divine Pill to you is not impossible.
But I do not want Spirit Stones, nor other treasures. My condition is — I ask Master Fan that in the future, when I need it, to fully assist me once."
Fan Qingcheng was obviously taken aback upon hearing this.
She did not expect Gu Sheng to propose such a condition.
This seemed simple, but in reality, it held immense weight. A full assistance from the future dean of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy, who is very likely to return to the Ninth Turn peak and is even hopeful of breaking into the Holy Realm, is invaluable and cannot be measured by Spirit Stones.
She looked at Gu Sheng with a complex gaze, her tone carrying an indescribable meaning.
"Young Master Gu... do you know, even if you were to give me this pill for free at this moment, my lady and I already owe you a great favor. This offer of yours... never mind, regardless of the price, this kindness and grace, Qingcheng will thank you on my lady’s behalf and will remember it eternally!"
Gu Sheng saw her agree, and without hesitation, he flicked his fingertip, and the third-grade Clear Heart Divine Pill, bound by spiritual power and glowing brightly, floated gently towards Fan Qingcheng.
"Catch it well.
This Clear Heart Divine Pill is of good quality, bred with six patterns, with mild and mellow medicinal properties, and minimal impurities. With Master Fan’s foundation, consuming this pill offers a sixty to seventy percent chance of repairing Dao injuries and restoring peak cultivation."
Gu Sheng’s tone was calm, as if he was not giving away a pill that could incite a frenzy at the Venerable Realm but merely an ordinary candy.
"Su Rui and the others are guarding this place, there will be no major troubles. Once you have the pill, there is no need to follow us further. Immediately return to the Linyin Pavilion in Fallen Moon City, use the Teleportation Array there to rush back to Great Wilderness City with the utmost speed, and deliver this pill to Master Fan. Delays might bring changes."
Fan Qingcheng hurriedly received the divine pill floating before her, feeling the immense medicinal power and clear Daoist rhythm contained within it. Upon confirming it was correct, she carefully took out a jade bottle crafted from Ten Thousand Year Warm Jade and sealed it away. Upon hearing Gu Sheng’s arrangement, she was again surprised.
"Leave now? But your safety..."
"My safety is not your concern. Delivering the elixir promptly is the priority."
Gu Sheng waved his hand, interrupting her.
Fan Qingcheng took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement and gratitude. She solemnly bowed deeply to Gu Sheng, her graceful body standing straight, and her tone more earnest than ever.
"The kindness of the young master, Qingcheng will never forget! On behalf of my lady, Qingcheng thanks the young master for the grace of gifting the elixir! Once this matter is over, Qingcheng will do her utmost to ensure that my lady fulfills her promise!"
She no longer addressed him as "Young Master Gu," instead simply calling him "Young Master," expressing an unspoken closeness and gratitude.
Gu Sheng smiled faintly, waving his hand.
"Go, between friends, no need for such formalities."
Fan Qingcheng said no more, looking deeply at Gu Sheng once more, as if to etch the image of this young yet powerful and decisive figure into her mind. With a flicker, she transformed into a faint silver stream, speeding out of the secret vault, disappearing into the passageway outside.
After sending off Fan Qingcheng, Gu Sheng turned and continued deeper into the secret vault.
He felt little disturbance in his heart. Although the third-grade Clear Heart Divine Pill was precious and could fetch a shocking price even to the Saint Realm if auctioned.
However, he was not lacking in Spirit Stones, at least not for the time being. In contrast, exchanging this currently unused divine pill for the future full assistance of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy’s dean, Fan Mingli, and the friendship of her and her background influence, was undoubtedly a highly valuable investment.
