Refining Ruins Cauldron

One day, he will repay all the humiliation he has suffered today!

That crazy woman will pay for this tenfold!

Not long after Ziyan left, footsteps were heard outside the door, and it was Zhao Xingsheng and his group who came.

"Are you alright?!"

Seeing that Gu Qingyun's face was pale, everyone quickly stepped forward to help him up.

The large patch of blood on his chest was enough to show how dangerous it had just been.

"She did it?"

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, everyone knew that the culprit could be anyone other than that crazy woman, Ziyan.

"I'm fine."

Gu Qingyun wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. After resting for so long, she had regained some strength and stood up with the help of the others.

He forced a smile: "It's just a single palm strike. I'm tough enough to take it."

Nianchen looked at Gu Qingyun with a rather complicated expression.

"This...wouldn't it be better if I did it?"

In his view, Gu Qingyun ended up in this state because he replaced him.

Little did they know that if Gu Qingyun hadn't intervened, Nianchen would be in grave danger by now.

"Never mind, it's all in the past."

Gu Qingyun didn't say it aloud, but she felt a wave of fear in her heart.

That alchemy furnace was just a hair's breadth away from exploding!

If the alchemy fails, not to mention what will happen to Ziyan, the explosion of the furnace alone is something that these menial disciples cannot withstand.

After a long silence, Nianchen was the first to break it.

"From now on, you are my half-brother. Don't hesitate to tell me anything you need, and I'll do my best to help!"

These words came from the bottom of Nianchen's heart; she was truly grateful to Gu Qingyun.

Offering help was an act of kindness. Nianchen never thought he would leave the alchemy room alive, let alone that Gu Qingyun would beat him to it.

It is truly fortunate that both of them are alive now.

Gu Qingyun smiled. Having been at the Longevity Sect for so long, he had only felt that sincerity from Nian Chen, which warmed his heart.

In the cold-hearted world of cultivation, there are few people like Nianchen anymore.

"Sure, I won't hold back if you need anything!"

Gu Qingyun grinned and agreed.

Zhao Xingsheng sighed, gently patted Gu Qingyun's shoulder, and took out a healing medicine from his pocket.

It's not high-ranking, only second-rank, but it's enough.

"Here, take this. Rest for the next few days and let your injury heal. I'll grant you five days off."

"Thank you, squad leader."

……

inside the room.

After being brought back by the crowd, Gu Qingyun only dared to completely relax her body after everyone had left.

puff!

A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he suddenly vomited a pool of black blood.

There were even a few pieces of internal organs mixed in.

That burst of energy was terrifying; it took Gu Qingyun a lot of effort to barely get rid of it!

If we delay any longer, our bodies will definitely be thrown into chaos!

If the injury is compounded, it may take ten days or half a month to recover, let alone five days!

Not daring to resist, Gu Qingyun took the healing pills that had evolved from the Refining Ruins Cauldron.

He felt a little better after a warm current flowed into his body.

He lay stiffly on the bed, letting the medicine heal his injuries.

He wanted to practice his martial arts, but he simply couldn't muster the strength.

"Zi Yan, Bai Feng!"

Gu Qingyun stared at the ceiling, his eyes filled with anger, his teeth clenched, his fists clenched so tightly that his fingertips turned white.

They're birds of a feather; I've never treated him like a human being.

Humiliation, contempt, treating him worse than an ant!

Gu Qingyun would never forget that condescending gaze and that superior attitude!

"One day, I will trample these people under my feet! I will ensure they never rise again!"

"Let these people taste what it means to be like ants!"

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyun tightened his grip on the Refining Ruins Cauldron.

The small tripod is his greatest asset right now.

If you want to become stronger, only this item can help you.

Gu Qingyun must become so powerful that no one dares to underestimate him, and he will no longer be humiliated at will like he is today!

"On that day, I will make sure that no one in this world will dare to look down on me!"

……

Five days is not a long time, and Gu Qingyun naturally wouldn't waste it.

While recovering from his injuries, he seized the time to practice his martial arts.

After taking the top-grade Rejuvenation Pill, I felt the spiritual energy surging through my meridians like a tidal wave!

Every week, Gu Qingyun could feel his cultivation level improving.

Even a tiny amount, accumulated over time, can become a tidal wave!

Gu Qingyun was very patient, proceeded step by step, and avoided arrogance and impatience.

It seems that Qi Refining Level 5 is about to reach perfection, and is only one step away from the next minor realm!

Once you can take this step, you will reach the sixth level of Qi Refining!

Just when success seemed imminent, with only the final push needed to succeed, Gu Qingyun chose to stop at that moment.

Trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure; running too fast or taking too big a step might just cause you to tear your crotch!

The same applies to cultivation; one must be down-to-earth and take one step at a time!

The delusion of instant success may have miraculous effects at first, but in the long run, it will eventually backfire!

At that time, no matter which cultivator it was, they would be doomed!

Gu Qingyun will not allow his solid foundation to remain flawless!

He had only recently broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, so he needed to spend more time refining and consolidating his foundation.

"Let's practice other things first."

Besides cultivation techniques, Gu Qingyun also possesses alchemy skills, alchemy scriptures, and sword manuals.

These can all significantly improve one's strength, so they shouldn't be overlooked.

With a thought, the spirit sword that had been seized from Zhao Long last time flew out with a whoosh and lay flat on his hands.

The spirit sword truly lives up to its name; even after a long period of disuse, it still gleams with a cold light.

The smooth, sharp blade gleamed even more coldly under the moonlight!

Gu Qingyun gripped the hilt of the sword.

"We still don't know the name of this spirit sword."

There were no markings on the sword; the most conspicuous feature was the open snake head at the hilt, and the faint blue light emanating from it.

"In that case, how about you call yourself the Green Serpent Spirit Sword from now on?"

This is just a low-grade spirit sword; it hasn't developed its own consciousness, so of course it can't answer Gu Qingyun's question.

Too lazy to waste words, Gu Qingyun gripped the Green Serpent Spirit Sword and began practicing the Seven Star Sword Technique at a leisurely pace.

Currently, Gu Qingyun has only learned the first move of the Seven Star Sword Technique, "Sparkling Fire Spreads Across the Plains".

Simply put, it involves transforming the spiritual energy within the body into flames, using a single point to unleash maximum power.

This move has terrifying explosive power, but it requires time to prepare and consumes a lot of energy.

Gu Qingyun used all his spiritual power, and it was almost not enough.

If he hadn't taken the top-grade Rejuvenation Pill at the end, he probably would have been drained dry on the spot!

Fortunately, he has now made several breakthroughs and has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.

According to Gu Qingyun's calculations, he could barely unleash two bursts of Starfire Blaze.

Standing up, Gu Qingyun gripped the Azure Serpent Spirit Sword and slowly closed his eyes.

He carefully sensed the changes within his body, and his spiritual energy silently gathered at a single point, following the mantra of "a spark ignites a prairie fire."

Previously, this point was his fingertip; now it is the Azure Serpent Spirit Sword in his hand!

The preparation time for the first attempt was much longer than usual.

After all, the spirit sword is not the physical body, so it's normal that it's a little more difficult.

"Gather!"

As spiritual energy gathered, a scorching heat rose around them.
