In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 272 Unparalleled Root Bone
After Gu Shaoan left, Sun Xiaohong looked at Sun Baifa with a somewhat intriguing expression.

Noticing Sun Xiaohong's gaze, Sun Baifa said irritably, "Just say what you want to ask."

Sun Xiaohong said, "Grandpa, didn't you say before that our Sun family has a clan rule that we can't reveal family information to avoid causing trouble?"

In response to Sun Xiaohong's question, Sun Baifa said irritably, "Did I leak this? Didn't you see that little monster's reaction when he revealed the situation of my Sun family? It was like he'd seen a ghost!"

"No, what I mean is, Grandpa, how could you agree to cooperate with Brother Gu?"

Sun Baifa looked at Sun Xiaohong with a deep gaze and said, "You really want your grandfather to go down and see your grandmother?"

Sun Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, then stamped her foot and said, "Grandpa~"

Seeing this, Sun Baifa stopped teasing Sun Xiaohong and explained, "There's nothing I can do, the situation has changed too much."

"You are also aware of the situation of the Azure Dragon Society. Now that Shangguan Jin Hong has become the leader of the Azure Dragon Society, given his obsession with the weapon ranking list, he probably won't let go of the investigation into my information. With the power of the Azure Dragon Society, it's only a matter of time before they find out our whereabouts and even the Sun family behind us."

“A powerful intelligence network is of little appeal to those good-for-nothings or unambitious loners in the martial arts world, but for some ambitious forces, the Sun family’s intelligence network is a hot commodity.”

"Once the Azure Dragon Society or Shangguan Jin Hong finds out about the Sun family, do you think they will let the intelligence network that the Sun family has spent hundreds of years building go unchecked?"

"Although the Sun family has not been in decline over the years, I am the only one with truly outstanding skills who has reached the Qi Condensation stage."

“Once I’m gone, the Sun family’s situation will be exposed again, and there will only be two outcomes.”

"Either the Sun family dismantles its intelligence network, or they are completely exploited and turned into someone else's tool."

Sun Xiaohong said, "So that's why you want to cooperate with Brother Gu?"

Sun Baifa nodded, knocked the ash out of the cigarette butt, stuffed in new tobacco, and lit it.

After exhaling a puff of smoke, Sun Baifa continued, "This little monster has high talent and acts steadily. Judging from the current situation, it is inevitable that he will enter the Celestial Realm in the future."

"What's most remarkable is that, judging from this little monster's experiences and actions over the past ten years, he is not one of those hypocritical people in the martial arts world. He has been taught by people like Miejue to have a proper moral character."

At this point, Sun Baifa rubbed his chin.

"Speaking of which, the Emei Sect is just average in other aspects, but it really has a knack for teaching disciples. Take that little monster, for example. He and his senior and junior sisters have all been taught to distinguish right from wrong. The two girls from the sixth and seventh brothers' families will be ten years old next year, right? Shouldn't we try to get them into the Emei Sect?"

However, Sun Baifa suppressed the thought as soon as it popped into his head.

"Forget it, that little monster looks all warm and gentle, but he's as cunning as a monkey. If we really stuff it in, who knows when he'll find out? That wouldn't be fair."

"Besides, that kid is only in his early twenties. A ten-year age difference is practically negligible. What if..."

Sun Baifa thought of Gu Shaoan's otherworldly temperament and handsome appearance.

Looking at Sun Xiaohong beside him, and remembering the starry-eyed look in her eyes when she faced Gu Shaoan, Sun Baifa couldn't help but shake his head.

Throwing a meat bun at a dog is like throwing it away; it's gone forever.

It's not a loss to buy just one.

If there were one or two more.

It's a business that's completely losing money.

Sun Xiaohong, unaware of Sun Baifa's thoughts, nodded and said, "A few years ago, when facing Dongfang Bai of the Sun Moon Cult, Brother Gu was able to utter those words about the opposition between good and evil, which shows that Brother Gu is no ordinary person."

Sun Baifa nodded and said, "That's why, after careful consideration, I finally placed my bet on this little monster!"

"Moreover, he always thinks of the people around him, so he is a reliable person and you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back."

"With this kid helping out, the Sun family will have more confidence if they really encounter any problems."

Then, Sun Bai changed the subject, saying, "Moreover, my injuries have indeed been delayed for too long. If they are not healed soon, I'm afraid I won't last many more years."

"If I can heal my injuries, I can put in the effort these past few years and try my best to use what I've collected. Maybe I can still make a run for it and see if I can reach the Celestial Realm."

"So I can't refuse this little monster's offer!"

Looking at Sun Baifa beside her, Sun Xiaohong said, "Given Brother Gu's character and status, since he has spoken up, he must be able to cure Grandpa."

Sun Baifa chuckled: "In this world, although people like Gu Xiaozi and Abbess Miejue, who are truly from prestigious and upright families, may seem pedantic, they are also truly admirable."

"His character and integrity are beyond reproach; he's a man of his word, and his words are far more credible."

“If it were anyone else, the old man might still have doubts, but as soon as this kid opened his mouth, your grandpa felt a bit more at ease.”

After thinking for a moment, Sun Baifa said, "The only ones still openly in the martial arts world right now are the second, fifth, and seventh brothers."

"However, the second and seventh brothers are only responsible for gathering information on a daily basis, while the escort agency where the fifth brother works is the place where information is usually filtered. I guess the problem lies with the fifth brother."

"In a bit, send a message to Lao Wu to remind him to investigate and see if it was an accident or if some shady stuff has infiltrated his ranks."

"Okay, I'll send a message to Fifth Uncle in a bit."

Noon.

In the back mountains of Da'e, as the door to Gu Shaoan's house opened, a medicinal aroma wafted out.

After placing a bowl containing medicinal mud on the table and exposing it to sunlight, Gu Shaoan washed the remaining dregs from his hands.

His gaze fell on the sun-dried medicinal mud on the table, and a smile appeared on Gu Shaoan's face.

In fact, Gu Shaoan had the idea of ​​cooperating with Sun Baifa when he first met him.

But at that time, Gu Shaoan was only at the level of returning to the innate realm in terms of internal energy cultivation, and the Emei Sect was only a second-rate force.

Speaking rashly will only bring trouble.

Ultimately, cooperation and transactions always require that both parties be of similar strength and status.

When the power gap is too large, so-called cooperation and transactions are nothing more than a favor from the stronger party or a pipe dream from the weaker party.

Gu Shaoan understood this as well. Therefore, he also knew when and how to do certain things.

"With the Sun family's intelligence, even if the Azure Dragon Society or Wuzheng Manor makes any moves, Gu Shaoan will know immediately through the Sun family, instead of being passive as before."

Even when Gu Shaoan is not at the Emei Sect, if something happens to the Emei Sect, with the Sun family's intelligence network, Gu Shaoan can also learn about the news through the Sun family, so that he won't have to wait until he returns to the Emei Sect to find out.

Stepping out of the courtyard, Gu Shaoan greeted Yang Yan and Zhou Zhiruo, who then used their inner energy to move behind him using their lightness skills.

After the two women approached, Gu Shaoan raised his hand and grasped their wrists respectively, injecting his internal energy into their bodies.

After examining it for a moment, Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "Not bad! Your internal energy cultivation method has been completely stabilized. Has Master given you the Bodhi Exquisite Pill yet?"

Zhou Zhiruo nodded and said, "It was given to us three months ago. However, at that time, Junior Sister Yan'er was still integrating the latest martial arts, and the fourth level of the Emei Nine Yang True Scripture had not yet reached perfection. My true energy could still be further refined, so I was not in a hurry to take it."

After Yang Yan and Zhou Zhiruo brought out the Bodhi Exquisite Pills that were stored in the room, Gu Shaoan reached into his robes, took out a white jade pill bottle, and poured out three black pills the size of soybeans.

It is the Marrow Cleansing Pill made from the Sui Ling flower and forty-nine other medicinal herbs.

After giving Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan each a pill, Gu Shaoan said, "Take this Marrow Cleansing Pill along with your Bodhi Exquisite Pills. I'll keep an eye on things for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan followed Gu Shaoan's instructions and swallowed both kinds of pills together.

As the pills entered their stomachs, Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan immediately felt two opposing forces of medicine, one hot and one cold, rising abruptly from their abdomens.

The medicinal power of the Marrow Cleansing Pill seemed to come from the clear, sweet spring water of an ancient deep mountain, mixed with a burning, fiery aura, and suddenly spread out.

This sensation was not one of intense pain, but rather one of intense penetration and tingling, like millions of extremely fine needles carrying warm energy, spreading throughout the body instantly along the direction of blood and qi circulation, penetrating every tiny corner of the limbs, bones, and meridians!
Under the impact of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the meridian channels in the two people's bodies are changing at an extremely rapid pace.

Those tiny, branching peripheral meridians are the first to be moistened and softened, like a dried-up riverbed being permeated by sweet rain, and the walls of the vessels become warm and smooth like jade, with greatly increased toughness.

At the bottleneck, the invisible membrane was dissolved and weakened, and the invisible barrier that hindered the flow of true qi became as thin as a cicada's wing.

At the same time, the core medicinal power of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, like an invisible hand, gently yet resolutely expanded their dantian, making their already full dantian much more spacious.

Almost at the very moment when the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill were fully unleashed and the transformation of the meridians and dantian was at its most critical stage, the medicinal power of the Bodhi Exquisite Pill erupted suddenly like a long-accumulated torrent.

A powerful, pure, warm, and vibrant medicinal force exploded forth. This force was overwhelming yet not violent, like melting snow under the warm spring sun, possessing a gentle and nourishing quality.

Under the influence of these medicinal effects, the Nine Yang True Qi within the two women's bodies began to circulate rapidly, as if doused with boiling oil.

As their internal energy continued to rise, their dantian, which had become somewhat empty due to the expansion, was filled up again.

Furthermore, as the true qi circulates, countless minute impurities in this energy are rapidly refined and purified.

After a stick of incense had burned, as the true energy within Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan circulated wildly, a drop of condensed liquid, as clear as water, was formed in the meridians of the two women.

It is the unique true essence that martial artists possess after their internal energy cultivation has reached the stage of condensing qi into yuan.

After the true essence began to appear in the two people's bodies, Gu Shaoan, who had been standing quietly in front of them, nodded in satisfaction.

He then popped the other Marrow Cleansing Pill, which he had been holding in his hand, into his mouth.

Then quietly feel the changes in your meridians and dantian caused by the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Unlike Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan.

Under the influence of Gu Shaoan's own internal energy, the medicinal power of the Marrow Cleansing Pill in Gu Shaoan's body was completely consumed in just a quarter of an hour.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan's meridians and dantian were also expanded by nearly 30%.

At the very moment his meridians and dantian were expanded, Gu Shaoan's body trembled slightly.

An indescribable sense of clarity and completeness instantly swept over every minute part of Gu Shao'an's body. It felt as if an invisible, intangible, yet ever-present innate barrier within his body had been completely pierced.

It was as if an invisible shackle had suddenly been removed from the body.

In an instant, the constantly circulating internal energy around Gu Shaoan suddenly accelerated.

Some of the meridians in the body that were originally blocked were successively opened up.

This enabled Gu Shaoan's own "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture" to advance from the eighth level of minor completion to the eighth level of perfection.

The changes in the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture" caused Gu Shaoan's expression to tremble slightly.

Once Gu Shaoan reached a certain level of mastery in the "Emei Nine Yang Manual," it would take years to achieve another breakthrough.

Based on Gu Shaoan's previous cultivation progress, even with the support of the proficiency panel, it would have taken at least five years for him to reach the eighth level of the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture".

Now, because his innate talent has successfully reached the unparalleled level, it has directly allowed the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture" to reach the eighth level of perfection.

The benefits are immense.

However, before Gu Shaoan could immerse himself in the breakthrough of the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture" for too long, he suddenly discovered that a stream of vital energy quietly separated from his body and rushed into his Shen Ting acupoint, where it merged with his spiritual energy.

Under the influence of these vital energies, Gu Shaoan's previously difficult-to-mobilize spiritual energy was now surprisingly...
Moved.

These spiritual energies were like silkworms awakening from their slumber. Under the influence of the Gang Yuan, these extremely fine yet incredibly real transparent "threads" of spiritual energy began to slowly and cyclically circulate around the Shen Ting acupoint and several related locations such as Shang Xing and Yin Tang.

This flow is extremely weak, and its speed is like that of a snail crawling.

Without the presence of internal energy, Gu Shaoan wouldn't even be able to sense the movement of these faint spiritual energies.

As his spiritual energy and vital essence slowly circulated, some hidden meridians and acupoints in Gu Shaoan's brain that he had never touched before were easily opened.

At this moment, the spiritual energy and vital energy within Gu Shaoan's Shen Ting acupoint were as if he were cultivating a barren land.

Once dozens of fragile hidden meridians in the brain were opened, Gu Shaoan's spiritual energy and vital energy began to circulate spontaneously within these meridians, centered on the Shen Ting acupoint.

After an incense stick had burned, Gu Shaoan felt a slight increase in his spiritual energy, and his heart trembled.

Suddenly, I remembered the spiritual seed I had observed in Feng Xinglie's Shen Ting acupoint yesterday.
