In a state of clear and transparent mind, Gu Yuan's process of Washing Marrow accelerated by threefold!
On this day, Gu Yuan took out a Jade Bottle and poured out a Yellow Millet Pill, tossing it into his mouth.
As soon as the Yellow Millet Pill entered, it melted, turning into a thick, fragrant rice and medicinal stream that surged into his belly.
The fragrance lingered between his lips and teeth, a faint sense of fullness filled his stomach, warming his entire body, feeling very comfortable.
Even the flow of True Qi inside his body accelerated.
This feeling was more satisfying than enjoying any gourmet food.
The verdant True Qi inside flowed gently, quietly nourishing his bones, tendons, and flesh.
Especially the bone marrow, constantly permeated by True Qi, refining away the impurities bit by bit.
Under Gu Yuan's introspection, every bone that he cleansed underwent some changes.
They became increasingly lustrous, hard, like White Jade, emitting a faint white light, the bone marrow inside a bright crimson.
The human body has a total of 206 bones.
Now, Gu Yuan had already refined the marrow of 40% of these bones.
The Great Success in Marrow Cleansing was close at hand!
After a long time, Gu Yuan stopped, looking at the remaining small half bottle of Yellow Millet Pills, and couldn't help but sigh:
"These Yellow Millet Pills are indeed good, refined from the essence of Spirit Rice and Spirit Medicine, without any impurities inside, the effect is even better than eating Spirit Medicine raw."
Yellow Millet Pill can not only be eaten as a meal, it is also quite beneficial for cultivation.
Except it consumes quite a lot.
In just a few days, Gu Yuan had already eaten more than half a bottle.
This made Gu Yuan more determined in his decision to join Medicine King Mountain!
Before, his thoughts were somewhat simplistic.
Thinking that having the Spirit Pet System meant he just needed to find a True Daoist Technique to step onto the Immortal Dao and cultivate steadily.
But now it seems, while a True Daoist Technique is important.
However, after advancing to the Celestial Human Realm, the Grain Elixirs needed for daily cultivation, not to mention the Magical Artifact for defense, the Cultivation Cave Mansion, certain common knowledge and secrets of the Cultivation Realm, including the Evil Qi required for cultivation Divine Techniques, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, all these resources are equally important.
Without a suitable identity, without the corresponding channels, where can he obtain the Spirit Pills, Magical Artifacts, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures required for cultivation in the future, including certain secretive cultivation knowledge?
Cultivation affairs cannot be separated from wealth, techniques, companions, and land.
With wealth, techniques, companions, and land, one can move faster, more steadily, and further!
Bang!
Rumble!
Suddenly, the street outside erupted with a series of roaring sounds.
Amidst the sounds were screams and cries from various people, as if something significant had happened outside.
Gu Yuan immediately got up, tossed the Yellow Millet Pill into the Storage Pouch, then with a tiptoe, he leaped onto the rooftop with the help of the wall.
He looked toward the direction of the sound, and saw on another street the Jade Cauldron Tower, which at the moment had already blasted open a large hole on its roof, billowing with black smoke and revealing flames.
Many Jade Cauldron Tower Guards and Medicine Gatherers were alarmed, frantically starting to put out the fire.
Nearby pedestrians, seeing the situation worsen, hurriedly fled.
Yet on the street in front of the Jade Cauldron Tower, a figure stood firmly, forming a stark contrast with the panicked pedestrians around.
This person looked unremarkable, had a somewhat gloomy expression, appearing as a middle-aged man, empty-handed, standing with his hands clasped behind, exuding a strong aura.
Especially those eyes, showcasing a bizarre, chilling ice-blue color, sending a cold shiver down one's heart.
"Wei Chuan! It's him!"
Gu Yuan's gaze sharpened, recognizing this person's identity—it was the Gu God Sect disciple he had encountered during his first mission, who was also Xia Mingyang's old adversary.
Not far from Wei Chuan, a corpse lay on the ground.
The deceased was indeed an acquaintance of Gu Yuan, the Chief Manager of Jade Cauldron Tower, Luo Sheng!
Yet at this moment, the Chief Manager's death was tragic, his chest opened with a large hole, some dripping inner organs and blood scattered everywhere, his whole body twisted, eyes wide open, dead without peace.
An Innate Martial Master, lying dead so miserably in the street!
"Luo Sheng is actually dead!"
Gu Yuan's face slightly changed, then felt something was amiss:
"Wait, where is Xia Mingyang? He should have already advanced to the Celestial Human Realm, why did he let Wei Chuan kill Luo Sheng?"
In principle, with such a major incident happening at Jade Cauldron Tower, Xia Mingyang should have already appeared.
Wei Chuan ignored the numerous trembling Guards surrounding him, looking toward a certain spot in the Jade Cauldron Tower, smirking coldly:
"Xia Mingyang, your left and right arms, Chief Manager Luo Sheng, has already been killed by me, what? At this moment, you still refuse to come out?"
As his words fell, silence loomed within the Jade Cauldron Tower.
"Huh..."
Wei Chuan coldly chuckled and prepared to make a move, a flicker of icy blue light shone around him, enveloping a chilling aura, making the surrounding Guards' lips turn purple, shivering with chills.
He waved his hand and unleashed a stream of icy blue True Qi.
Crack! Crack!
Two Guards struck, frozen directly, their surface rapidly forming ice, turning into human-shaped ice sculptures, shattering as they hit the ground.
Seeing the red and blue fragments on the ground, many Guards' souls terrifiedly fled, turning to run.
"Summer's not coming out yet?"
Wei Chuan spoke in a chilling tone:
"In that case, just watch me kill all your people..."
He flicked his sleeve, strands of water vapor in the air gathered, transforming into ice blades the size of palms, exuding chilling cold, then shot out toward the Guards.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
Along his path, leaving trails of white marks!
"Stop!"
Wisps of white smoke billowed, forming Spiritual Snakes, blocking those ice blades.
An elderly man with white hair and beard appeared at the Jade Cauldron Tower entrance, his face showing displeasure.
Especially upon seeing Luo Sheng's corpse on the ground, his face turned even grimmer.
"Old Mo, is it you?!"
Seeing the white-robed old man, Wei Chuan sneered:
"What, Xia Mingyang isn't coming out himself and lets his subordinates face the trouble? Could it be he's too occupied now?"
Old Mo's tone was indifferent: "Friend Wei, do you really want to fight us to death?"
"Fight to death?"
Wei Chuan sneered: "Wasn't it already that way?!"
"Old Mo, last time you relied on the advantage of a Magical Artifact to save your life, let's see what you'll do this time!"
Saying that, he waved his hand and unleashed a Spiritual Light, a Jade Pearl Magical Artifact.
The light shimmered, transforming into an ice bird, singing long in the sky, emitting a compelling Spiritual Pressure, pecking toward Old Mo.
The bird's beak sparkled with a crystalline blue light, causing Old Mo's heart to tense, his hair standing, sensing a dangerous aura.
He hurriedly took out a Jade Ruyi, gathering smoke to block it in front.
However, his previously omnipotent Magical Artifact fell into disadvantage this time.
The ice bird gently pecked, a cold aura swiftly spread, freezing the smoke chunks into ice blocks, smashing them to the ground.
Old Mo's face changed dramatically, retreating in flight, narrowly dodging the cold aura.
As the two exchanged blows, Wei Chuan sneered coldly: "Wu Leader, not making a move yet?"
"Hehe, Brother Wei, don't worry, since I promised you, I will keep my word."
With a chuckle, a figure flew out from a corner.
The person dressed as a middle-aged scholar, exuding elegance, yet his aura was solid and mighty, clearly an Innate Martial Master.
He didn't assist Wei Chuan in dealing with Old Mo but instead headed toward the Jade Cauldron Tower.
"Not good..."
Old Mo's heart surged with anxiety, desperate to halt this middle-aged scholar!
Knowing well what Xia Mingyang was doing at the moment.
If things were ruined, not only would Luo Sheng have died in vain, but enormous losses would also result!
Unfortunately, Wei Chuan, seeming to see through his thoughts, tangled him up, preventing his escape.
He recognized the middle-aged scholar's identity, clearly the Cyan Bamboo Gang leader Wu Xun, unbeknownst when he colluded with Wei Chuan!
Just as Wu Xun was about to push through the door, a handsome young man blocked his path.
Gu Yuan chuckled lightly, Sword Light flowing like a white practice sweeping over:
"Sorry, Leader Wu, this way's blocked!"
