Ancient Peak, Elder Hall.
Gu Chenfeng hurriedly entered the grand hall, a touch of panic evident on his face.
Inside the hall, there were only Celestial Monarch Xing and Ling Qiushui.
As soon as Gu Chenfeng stepped into the hall, the graceful figure of Ling Qiushui swiftly approached, leaning close to Gu Chenfeng and coldly asked, "Where were you planning to go just now?"
An impressive scene lay before him, causing Gu Chenfeng’s face to flush instantly, and he quickly averted his gaze.
Gu Chenfeng responded hastily, "Aunt Master Qiushui, I’m just here at the Elder Hall, it’s just that I’m not very familiar with the Ancient Divine Sect, and for a mont, I forgot where the Elder Hall was."
Gu Chenfeng’s words were neither entirely truthful nor entirely false.
Initially, Gu Chenfeng did not plan to co to the Elder Hall first; he was indeed not very familiar with the Ancient Divine Sect.
"What Gu Chenfeng said is indeed true." Celestial Monarch Xing said with a faint smile, "Having just joined the Ancient Divine Sect, he’s either outside the sect or cultivating, naturally unfamiliar."
Ling Qiushui crossed her arms in front of her chest, accentuating the grandeur of the holy land, and grandly said, "Forget it, Aunt Master won’t hold it against you."
"Great Elder, Aunt Master Qiushui, what do you want with this ti? You’re not going to ask to refine elixirs again, are you?" Gu Chenfeng cautiously asked, his face already expressing a strong reluctance.
Seeing the unwillingness written all over Gu Chenfeng’s face, Ling Qiushui’s sharp gaze swept over, and she said coldly, "What? You’re not happy that I’m asking you to guide us in alchemy?"
"No, no, no, I’m happy, I’m happy." Gu Chenfeng replied hurriedly, waving his hands in panic, cold sweat breaking out on his back.
"Little Junior Sister, speak nicely, Gu Chenfeng is a genius favored by the Immortal Residence of Eternal Youth." Celestial Monarch Xing hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ling Qiushui, fearing she might harm Gu Chenfeng.
"So what if he is? As an Aunt Master, it’s my duty to educate the disciples. If I’m not strict now, what if they go astray in the future? As the saying goes, ’Strict masters produce high disciples.’" Ling Qiushui said with a righteous air.
Her piercing gaze then fell on Gu Chenfeng again, and she asked with a smile, "Gu Chenfeng, I’m being strict with you for your own good, isn’t that right?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Aunt Master Qiushui is right." Gu Chenfeng nodded repeatedly in a hurry.
Celestial Monarch Xing then smiled and said, "Gu Chenfeng, the reason we called you here this ti is to discuss the matter of the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill."
"Please go ahead, Great Elder." Gu Chenfeng nodded.
Celestial Monarch Xing continued with a smile, "This elixir is extrely potent, and there has never been such an elixir in the Cultivation Realm. If this elixir were to be introduced, our Ancient Divine Sect’s status in the Cultivation Realm would reach unprecedented heights, and our strength would beco even more formidable."
"This elixir was given to you by the Immortal Residence of Eternal Youth, so I wanted to discuss with you about auctioning off one pill to spread the word. What do you think?"
Before Gu Chenfeng could respond, Ling Qiushui’s sharp gaze swept over.
Feeling a chill run through his heart, Gu Chenfeng quickly said, "Great Elder, it’s just a Sixth Grade Pill for healing the foundation. Now that the pill formula is in your hands and you can also refine it, you can do as you please."
For a re Sixth Grade Pill, Gu Chenfeng truly didn’t take it seriously.
Even if Celestial Monarch Xing spread the news, or even if they gave the pill formula to others or guided other alchemists to refine it, Gu Chenfeng wouldn’t care in the slightest.
"That’s good." Celestial Monarch Xing said, his face breaking into a cheerful smile.
"See, I told you Gu Chenfeng would definitely agree." Ling Qiushui’s pretty face displayed a satisfied smile.
Glancing at the pleased Ling Qiushui, Gu Chenfeng gestured towards the outside of the hall and smiled, "Great Elder, Aunt Master Qiushui, if there’s nothing else, I’ll return to cultivate."
"Hold on." Ling Qiushui’s captivating eyes swept over.
"Aunt Master Qiushui, is there anything else?" Gu Chenfeng asked respectfully, cold sweat pouring down him.
Ling Qiushui thought for a mont, then chuckled and said, "Three days later, accompany your Aunt Master to the Ancient God Mountain Comrce Association once again."
"Huh?" Gu Chenfeng was dumbfounded.
"What? You’re not willing?" Ling Qiushui’s smile vanished instantly, her voice turning a little cold.
"No... Aunt Master... I’m willing." Gu Chenfeng initially wanted to say no, but upon seeing Ling Qiushui’s change in expression, he imdiately nodded repeatedly in agreent.
"Not bad, Aunt Master is very pleased." Ling Qiushui chuckled, "You’re quite familiar with the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill, so it’s most fitting to bring you along. et at the mountain gate in three days."
"You can resu cultivating after this matter finishes. With your Perfect Spirit Root talent, breaking through the Fasting Stage should be as easy as pie."
What Ling Qiushui and Celestial Monarch Xing didn’t know was that Gu Chenfeng had already broken through to the Middle Stage of Fasting.
But they couldn’t see through Gu Chenfeng’s cultivation, and they still thought he was in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishnt.
"Yes, Aunt Master, goodbye." Gu Chenfeng replied respectfully, then turned and left the hall.
Outside the Elder Hall.
Looking up at the sky, Gu Chenfeng smiled wryly, thinking, "It’s rare to have ti to cultivate; I originally intended to break through to the Golden Core Stage. It seems it will be delayed again."
Feeling frustrated, Gu Chenfeng went to the Treasure Pavilion, casually picked a scroll of Spiritual Technique, and returned to the Immortal Residence of Eternal Youth.
In three days, even with Gu Chenfeng’s talent, it was impossible to make a breakthrough.
"It’s a pity I don’t have a Spatial Treasure; if I did, my cultivation would improve faster." Gu Chenfeng said helplessly, "The Artifact Refiners in the Human Realm can’t create Spatial Treasures, unless they are remnants from ancient tis."
"But even if they exist, they are with those terrifying forces. Without a Spatial Treasure, it’s extrely difficult to enhance cultivation later, unless there are powerful Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
Currently, Gu Chenfeng possessed the Returning Ruins Illusion Realm, so he was not worried about cultivation resources, but once he grew stronger, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and Ice Attribute in the Returning Ruins Illusion Realm would no longer be suitable for cultivation.
What troubled Gu Chenfeng even more was his unique and rare Ice Attribute.
Ice Attribute Treasures were extrely rare, and even a massive comrce association like the Ancient God Mountain had very few Ice Attribute Treasures.
The entire Ancient God Mountain Comrce Association had only two Ice Attribute Spirit Swords, which showed how rare Ice Attribute items were.
Suddenly, a thought struck Gu Chenfeng’s mind, and he was overjoyed, "That’s right, I can ask the Ancient God Mountain Comrce Association for help. After all, I handed them the pill formula for convenience, didn’t I?"
"With the Ancient God Mountain Comrce Association’s power, they can search throughout the Cultivation Realm, or slay Ice Attribute Demon Beasts to obtain Ice Sources and Demon Cores, or even venture into so Secret Realms to search, making it much easier."
Using Ice Attribute Treasures in conjunction with the Returning Ruins Illusion Realm, his cultivation would surely progress rapidly.
Thinking of this, his somber mood vanished.
In high spirits, Gu Chenfeng imdiately entered the Returning Ruins Illusion Realm.
Sitting cross-legged on the ice rock, Gu Chenfeng thought to himself, "Currently, my cultivation is too weak. While I have so ti, it would be good to practice so life-preserving techniques."
With three days unable to break through, he’ll focus on practicing techniques.
The powerful techniques of the Eternal Celestial Emperor were countless, impossible to finish cultivating them all.
