In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 191 It's like being fed by God (Third update, please vote)
Faced with Gu Santong's question, Gu Shaoan frowned and asked, "Could it be that there is a problem with the 'Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill' that you gave me, senior?"

"That's not the case."

When Gu Santong met Gu Shaoan on the nineteenth floor of the prison, he already had some thoughts of dying.

Just because Gu Shaoan was able to bring Su Xin and Cheng Shifei's news to him, Gu Santong wouldn't have gone so far as to tamper with their martial arts.

The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is undoubtedly a top-tier martial art in the world.

This also determines that the difficulty of cultivating the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill" will inevitably be among the highest.

One of the most difficult hurdles is the first level of the entrance.

It's not that opening the hidden meridians of the mental cultivation method is particularly difficult.

The difficulty lies in the cohesion of financial resources.

As the core of the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill", how could gold and yuan be easily condensed?

The internal energy and true essence of ordinary martial artists are mixed and impure, like a turbid stream mixed with countless mud and gravel. How can they condense into pure, heavy golden essence containing special effects?
Therefore, in order to cultivate the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill", the practitioner must first use mental techniques to continuously purify, compress, and condense their own true qi or true essence.

This process is extremely slow.

Once the cultivator's true essence reaches a certain standard, the next step is to open up the hidden meridians.

Through the mental cultivation method, the cultivator's true essence gains more yang attribute.

If the cultivator's internal energy cultivation method is not balanced and peaceful, but rather, after practicing the "Mysterious Dark Palm," their true energy has more of a cold and yin attribute, then it will take even longer.

For example, Gu Santong spent a full three months to bring his true essence to the standard required for cultivating the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill."

"It took another ten days to successfully condense the first strand of gold."

Therefore, Gu Santong was so surprised when he learned that Gu Shaoan had mastered the first level of the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill" in just a few days.

After listening to Gu Santong's explanation, Gu Shaoan was slightly taken aback.

What Gu Santong said was not what Gu Santong recorded in the mental cultivation path, so Gu Shaoan naturally did not know that the mental cultivation method of the first level of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill had such an effect.

As for why Gu Shaoan didn't experience the same situation as Gu Santong, Gu Shaoan quickly realized the answer.

From the moment Gu Shaoan began to condense his internal energy, relying on his proficiency panel, he almost always aimed for the highest level in his internal energy cultivation.

Whether it's the later "Emei Nine Yang Skill" or "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture," they almost never continue until they reach perfection.

This also meant that Gu Shaoan's own true essence was always in a state of being as pure as lead and mercury, to an outrageous degree.

The "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture" was created by combining two types of Nine Yang Techniques.

Yin and Yang in harmony.

Naturally, it can satisfy the Yang attribute required by the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill".

It can be said that Gu Shaoan met the prerequisites for cultivating the first level of the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill" from the very beginning.

Naturally, there's no need to spend as much time as Gu Santong did, just on the purification and condensation of true essence.

At this point, it seemed that the more he spoke, the more confused he became.

Gu Santong grabbed Gu Shaoan's wrist and injected his true essence into Gu Shaoan's body, then probed all the way into Gu Shaoan's dantian.

Then, Gu Santong's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

In Gu Santong's perception, Gu Shaoan's dantian was as vast as an ocean at this moment.

It was filled with a viscous, mellow, and so thick that it was impossible to dissolve the golden essence.

Its quantity was immense, its quality profound; it was a golden ocean of pure gold that had been melted and poured into Gu Shaoan's dantian.

Moreover, when the true essence is refined to the extreme, it flows like mercury.

When it rotates slowly, it resembles liquid gold and mercury.

The aura of true essence is like the warmest spring, exuding a powerful, mellow, pure, and unassuming warmth.

"This, this foundation!" Gu Santong felt as if he had been struck by lightning and suddenly let go.

When she looked at Gu Shaoan, it was as if she had seen a ghost.

"The true essence is like lead and mercury, and it is like quicksilver seeping into the bottom. This true essence is even purer than my true essence."

Not only that.

In Gu Santong's perception just now, Gu Shaoan's true essence was not only incredibly pure and profound, but also astonishingly abundant.

Gu Santong even sensed that Gu Shaoan's true essence was even greater than his own.

It's definitely been more than 60 years.

Is this a joke?
It's impossible to start cultivating from the womb, right?
After calming down for a while, Gu Santong couldn't help but ask, "Kid, what kind of internal energy cultivation method are you practicing?"

Gu Shaoan said calmly, "Of course, it's the internal energy cultivation method of my Emei Sect."

"Pah! Kid, do you think I'm a child? Don't forget, your Emei Sect was one of the eight major sects that gathered around Taihu Lake back then."

"I fought against your Emei Sect masters before, how could I not know your Emei Sect's martial arts?"

"Even if you practice the Emei Nine Yang Skill of your Emei Sect until you die, you could never achieve such a high level of refinement and proficiency as you."

Gu Shaoan glanced at Gu Santong and said calmly, "When did I say that I practiced the 'Emei Nine Yang Skill'? What I practice is the 'Emei Nine Yang True Scripture', which combines the Emei and Wudang Nine Yang Skills."

"The Nine Yang Manual of Emei? I've never heard of it before. Is it newly created?"

Gu Shaoan nodded in acknowledgment.

Upon seeing this, Gu Santong seemed deflated.

"It's only been a little over twenty years since I last stepped into the martial arts world, but I never imagined that the Emei Sect would be able to develop such martial arts now."

Then, Gu Santong looked at Gu Shaoan and shook his head, saying, "No wonder you want the 'Invincible Vajra Divine Skill'. With the pure true essence in your body, the 'Invincible Vajra Divine Skill' is practically tailor-made for you."

As he spoke, Gu Santong looked at Gu Shaoan with somewhat complicated thoughts.

Martial arts also require a proper fit.

Due to differences in individual constitution and meridians, some people learn the same martial arts quickly while others learn it slowly.

But this is the first time Gu Santong has encountered a product that fits so perfectly, like it was tailor-made.

It's like God is feeding us.

This makes it seem like those few months he spent practicing the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill were a complete waste.

Then, looking at Gu Shaoan in front of him, Gu Santong finally couldn't hold back: "Kid, how old are you this year?"

At the beginning, when Gu Santong was in the prison, he did not know that Gu Shaoan was in disguise and thought that Gu Shaoan was already in his thirties or forties.

For most people, achieving the Qi Condensation stage at this age is already quite rare.

However, they were completely disregarded by a prodigy like Gu Santong.

But after learning that Gu Shaoan's master was actually the Abbess Miejue, and considering the profound internal strength and pure true essence within Gu Shaoan, Gu Santong suddenly felt that Gu Shaoan's talent might be even better than he had expected.

Having spent so many days together, Gu Shaoan no longer concealed anything and said frankly, "I will be of legal age in another year."

"Having reached adulthood?"

"Hiss—you mean you're only nineteen?"

Gu Shaoan nodded, then sighed.

"You're already nineteen, and you've only reached the Qi Condensation stage. You're far inferior to Senior Gu. Otherwise, Senior Gu wouldn't have thought of passing on a martial art like the Absorption Technique to a junior like me. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Senior Gu."

Hearing Gu Shaoan's words, Gu Santong's eyelids twitched. Although he sensed the sarcasm in Gu Shaoan's words, Gu Santong didn't care at all.

Upon learning Gu Shaoan's age, Gu Santong couldn't help but gasp in shock.

He was clearly genuinely shocked.

It wasn't just because of Gu Shaoan's talent that I was surprised.

This is also due to Gu Shaoan's audacity and methods.

A person who is not even nineteen years old dared to scheme against Zhu Wushi, and the key is that he was able to get away unscathed after the scheme was completed.

Such a thing is something that even Gu Santong, in his youth, would never have dared to imagine, let alone others.

"This kid's got a weird vibe, isn't he?"

"Wait a minute, how could such a disciple appear in the Emei Sect? Could it be that during my years in the Heavenly Prison, the Emei Sect has once again become a first-rate power?"

"Could that new sect leader named Extinction also be a prodigy and expert?"

For a moment, Gu Santong's mind was filled with questions.

Even when he returned to the fire to roast fish, he was still thinking about how strong Extinction must be to be able to teach a disciple like Gu Shaoan.

Gu Shaoan ignored Gu Santong's thoughts, closed his eyes, and his internal energy began to circulate rapidly again.

Half an hour later, after finishing his grilled fish, Gu Shaoan looked at the three passages of the ancient city and said, "We are currently too close to the capital. Who knows when Zhu Wushi will send someone to investigate."

"Now that the senior's health problem has been initially resolved, we will set off for Tianshan as soon as possible to take Miss Suxin away."

Zhu Wushi already had a second Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom in his hands, and Gu Santong escaped from the Heavenly Prison with Gu Shaoan's help.

Given Zhu Wushi's cautious nature, Gu Shaoan couldn't be sure whether Zhu Wushi would head to Tianshan to take Su Xin away.

Tianshan was located in the far north of the Great Wei Kingdom.

Its full name is Xuanbei Tianshan.

It is not the Tianshan Mountains within the Western Regions.

Even if it wasn't in the Western Regions, the Xuanbei Tianshan Mountains were located in the northwest of the Great Wei Kingdom, making the journey even more distant.

Even with Gu Shaoan and Gu Santong's exceptional lightness skills, it would still take them four months to reach Tianshan.

Before we knew it, it was almost the end of the year.

The sooner we finish things, the sooner we can have peace of mind.

After all, being out and about all day, Gu Shaoan's cultivation was inevitably affected.

When Su Xin was involved, Gu Santong didn't make any jokes. After nodding, he used his lightness skill to head towards Tianshan with Gu Shaoan.

August, the 27th.

Autumn has long since arrived, but the lingering heat of late summer still lingers and steams over the southern land.

In the northwestern border region of the Great Wei Kingdom, the scorching heat receded quietly like a tide.

The most direct feeling is that when you breathe, what enters your nose is not the humid heat of early autumn, but a slight coolness like the first melting of snow in early spring.

The air was so pure and dry that it seemed as if even the tail end of summer had been cut off by this invisible chill.

As the carriage continued along the official road, both Gu Santong and Gu Shaoan, who were driving the carriage, could clearly feel the chill in the air gradually intensifying.

An hour later, as Gu Santong looked up and gazed into the distance, a mountain range came into view that was becoming increasingly clear.

The mountain range resembles a thousand overlapping waves, with peaks clustered together.

Most of the mountains are still covered in a lush, dark green and deep blue, a vast sea of ​​forests formed by the ancient pines and cypresses that have stood for years. The deep green surges through the undulating terrain, like heavy waves rising from the earth, showcasing a tenacious and resilient vitality.

However, at the end of this mountain range, at the highest point of that expanse of green waves, the majestic Xuanbei Tianshan stands out in stark contrast to the vibrant deep green of the other peaks.

Its peak seems to pierce the sky, as if breaking through the boundaries of the four seasons.

At the highest point in the field of vision, the mountain is covered with a layer of pure, dazzling, and timeless white snow.

The snow-white color was so pure, like a huge crown meticulously carved by the heavens from cold jade, majestically set on the dark green mountain ridge. Against the backdrop of the cloudless blue sky, it shimmered with a cold, aloof, and sacred radiance that could freeze time.

Two hours later, as the carriage carrying the two successfully entered the mountainside of Xuanbei Tianshan, the once gentle mountain road began to become steep.

Gu Santong and Gu Shaoan could only park the carriage next to a grove of trees, tie up the horses, and then use their lightness skills to move towards the mountaintop.

As the two climbed higher, fluffy snowflakes, accompanied by a biting cold wind, began to envelop them.

Braving the wind and snow, Gu Santong quickly stepped forward and asked through his true essence, "Boy, how did you know that Su Xin was hidden in this Xuanbei Tianshan by Zhu Tiedan?"

Gu Shaoan replied without hesitation, "Over the years, I have asked some people to keep an eye on Zhu Wushi. As a result, I discovered that Zhu Wushi would come to Xuanbei Tianshan every year. Finally, we found a cave under the Tianchi Lake, and inside the ice coffin lay a woman dressed in red."

"By further investigating the matter between Zhu Wushi and the senior from twenty-two years ago, we can naturally guess the identity of the girl in the ice coffin."

As the two were talking, they quickly climbed to the top of the mountain.

Unlike before reaching the summit, when the snow was raging fiercely.

The wind and snow on the mountaintop were much less intense. The two figures moved swiftly and ghostly across the mountaintop until they reached the enormous, breathtakingly sculpted depression in the center of the summit.

Xuanbei Tianchi.

After stuffing the package hanging on his shoulder into Gu Shaoan's hands, Gu Santong took a breath, and the moment he circulated his true essence, he plunged headfirst into the Heavenly Pool.

Gu Shaoan stood by the Heavenly Pool, occasionally looking around.

After a stick of incense.

"Wow!"

As the sound of water splashing as it broke through the ice rang out, Gu Santong's figure soared into the sky from the lake and landed beside Gu Shaoan.

The moment his feet touched the ground, wisps of white steam rose from Gu Santong's entire body, clearly indicating that he was using his true energy to expel the cold from his body.

After his gaze swept over Gu Santong, Gu Shaoan's eyes were then drawn to the woman Gu Santong was holding tightly in his arms.

The woman wore a bright crimson dress, her face was delicate and graceful, her appearance was dignified and elegant, and she also had a touch of grandeur.

His long, black hair was completely soaked in ice water, lying wetly on the cold frozen ground and on Gu Santong's arms. Many strands of hair were mixed with ice crystals, like broken diamonds adorning black satin, yet they exuded a bone-chilling cold.

Her skin was deathly pale, not from illness, but from the finest white jade that had been soaked in the depths of an icy spring for twenty years, giving it a smooth, delicate, yet deathly pallor.

Her long eyelashes were covered with tiny, diamond-like frost crystals, densely covering them, like an eyelid woven from frost.

Even her tightly closed lips were a very pale pinkish-purple, devoid of all moisture and rosiness.

What is most striking is the woman's temperament.

Even when she was unconscious and her eyes were closed, the woman still exuded the grace and gentleness of a well-bred lady.

Her temperament bears a striking resemblance to that of Zhou Zhiruo.

It is this special quality that makes women even more charming.

Even Gu Shaoan, seeing Su Xin for the first time, couldn't help but secretly admire her.

It's no wonder that someone like Zhu Wushi was captivated by Su Xin the moment he saw her, and could never extricate himself from her charm.

In terms of appearance and temperament, she was indeed someone Zhu Wushi was infatuated with.

　I can't take it anymore! Starting tomorrow, I'll be updating twice a day as usual! I'll add more later depending on the situation! Staying up all night like this will affect the quality!
