Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1770 - 898: Shock and Excitement

"Alright."

Gu Sheng nodded in agreement.

Tantai Xuefei gave Gu Sheng a solemn bow, then turned around and, with steps that were still a little unsteady, walked out of the side hall.

Only when she stepped out of the hall doors and left Gu Sheng’s line of sight did she lean against a corridor pillar, let out a long breath, pat her little chest with her small hand, her face still carrying traces of shock and excitement.

"Beichen Pill Emperor... my heavens... he’s actually the reincarnation of the Beichen Pill Emperor?! Or... he obtained the complete inheritance of the Beichen Pill Emperor?"

Her mind was in complete chaos.

"This news is way too shocking! Bingtang, Xueli, there’s no way you’d guess this, right? Hahaha, right now only I know!"

At that thought, an inexplicable sense of pride at monopolizing a secret rose in her heart.

Right after, she thought of Gu Sheng’s promise to use Soul Power to cleanse her body. "An Emperor Realm soul helping cleanse my body..."

She smacked her lips, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"This kind of treatment, I’m afraid even the Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters of those top Holy Lands in the Central Province might not get to enjoy, right? Tsk tsk, this time I really struck it rich!"

The depression and impatience that had built up from being unable to quickly restore her strength had long since been replaced by this immense surprise and anticipation.

She clenched her small fists, making up her mind that she must properly grasp this opportunity! At the same time, she buried those four words "Beichen Pill Emperor" deep, deep in the bottom of her heart, not daring to reveal the slightest bit.

Tantai Xuefei practically hopped as she left the side hall, that fiery-red figure filled with joy and expectation.

About the time it took to drink a cup of tea later, she hurried back. Unlike the lightness with which she’d left, when she returned all ten fingers of her hands were actually covered in various storage rings shining with spiritual light, at a glance there were more than ten of them, and there were even a few more clutched in her small palms.

She walked up to Gu Sheng, stretched out both hands, her tone carrying a hint of boldness and yet a bit of embarrassment.

"Here, this is all my belongings! There’s a lot of messy stuff inside, all things I’ve saved up over the years, plus some resources from my family. Take a look, see if there’s anything you can use? If there is, just use it, don’t you dare be polite!"

She was clearly worried that helping her cleanse her body would cost Gu Sheng too much, and wanted to do her part.

Gu Sheng couldn’t help but chuckle at her posture of "pouring out everything she owns" to support him, but he still took that big handful of storage rings.

His powerful spiritual power surged into them like a tide, rapidly sweeping through each storage space. The items inside were indeed dazzling and varied, from Spirit Stones used in cultivation to various Elixir Pills, materials, Weapons, armor, and even some pretty accessories and odd little trinkets that girls liked, which showed that although Tantai Xuefei looked like a child, she still retained a maiden’s heart.

Very soon, Gu Sheng’s spiritual power locked onto six or seven Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that were emitting special soul fluctuations.

With a thought, he took them out. They were, respectively, a small handful of "Nether River Sand" that flickered with a dark luster as if it could absorb souls; a segment of "Frost Flower Tree Branch" that was crystalline throughout and exuded an extreme chill;

a few pieces of "Warm Soul Jade" capable of nourishing soul fire; as well as a few other rare Spiritual Objects that had nourishing or stabilizing effects on Soul Power.

"These few things can slightly assist me in restoring my Soul Power later, so I’ll accept them."

Gu Sheng said.

Seeing this, Tantai Xuefei’s big eyes immediately curved into crescent moons. She quickly waved her hand generously.

"Take them, take them! Take them all! As long as they’re useful!"

Gu Sheng didn’t stand on ceremony either, and put all these selected Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into his own Storage Ring, to have them ready for any need.

After that, his expression turned serious as he said to Tantai Xuefei.

"Are you ready? Let’s begin."

Tantai Xuefei instantly reined in her smile, obediently walked to the center of the room, found a meditation cushion and sat cross-legged, her small back straight, both hands forming a Sealing gesture on her knees. She closed her eyes and did her best to steady and lengthen her breathing.

Gu Sheng walked to stand in front of her, stretched out his right hand, and gently placed his palm atop her head with its soft red hair.

The next moment, in the depths of Gu Sheng’s Sea of Consciousness, that vast-as-the-starry-sky, silent-as-the-abyss Emperor Realm Soul Power began to stir.

A pure, majestic Soul Power, filled with supreme and profound intent, surged out from his palm like a gentle yet irresistible ocean tide, slowly pouring into Tantai Xuefei’s body through the Bai Hui Acupoint at the crown of her head, gentle yet unwavering.

Tantai Xuefei’s delicate body trembled slightly, but she remembered Gu Sheng’s instructions, forcibly suppressing her body’s instinctive wariness and resistance. She completely lowered all defenses of her Sea of Consciousness and body, allowing that foreign yet powerful Soul Power to drive straight in, washing and cleansing every corner of her body, every inch of her meridians, even penetrating into her marrow and soul origin like sweet rain.

At first, the sensation was like soaking in a hot spring, warm and very comfortable, she could even feel the joy and longing coming from deep within her flesh.

However, as Gu Sheng gradually increased the speed and intensity of the Soul Power’s washing, that gentle "spring water" seemed to turn into a raging torrent, and was like countless steel needles as fine as ox hairs yet incomparably sharp, piercing simultaneously into her flesh, meridians, bones, and even the depths of her soul!

"Uah—!"

The violent pain surged over like a tide, far exceeding what she had imagined! Tantai Xuefei couldn’t hold back a muffled cry of pain, her small body trembling violently, and her forehead was instantly covered in a sheen of fine cold sweat.
