Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

evening.

"Brother Gu Chen, let's go to the dining hall to get our food," Wang Chao's voice rang out from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen walked out of the house.

Wang Chao said in the courtyard, "Our guards can get meat from the charity hall for every meal. With three meals of meat a day, we can practice the Blazing Sun Technique for two more hours every day, and our qi and blood will improve faster."

Gu Chen nodded in response, and the two headed together toward the dining hall of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.

The time that follows.

Gu Chen began his life as a guard at the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.

Patrol the Treasure Medicine Pavilion once a day, then collect your daily dose of medicinal soup and exchange it for a day's worth of pure cultivation points in the copper bowl.

The rest of the time is spent learning about the world through various means.

This world is inhabited by evil spirits and demons, as well as various powerful sects and cultivation families.

He currently only knows that the Divine Dynasty rules the world, and is completely unaware of the other power structures.

Since he has plenty of free time after patrolling and collecting his medicine each day, he might as well learn more about this knowledge to help him gain a foothold in this world in the future.

Cangshan County has many teahouses and restaurants where people from all over the country chat and talk, making it the best place for him to understand the world.

As time passed, Gu Chen exchanged the copper bowl for a day's worth of pure cultivation energy each day, which allowed his cultivation to improve rapidly.

A month later, Gu Chen's cultivation level improved once again.

From the early stage of Blood Refining Realm to the middle stage of Blood Refining Realm!

Upon reaching the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm, his strength successfully advanced to the ranks of second-rate experts, making it no problem for him to fight ten opponents at once.

At his current rate of improvement, he should be able to break through to the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm in a little over two months.

He will then use the wages he earns to exchange two silver coins for the enlightenment of the Lightning Five-Strike Combo at the Great Mastery level with the copper bowl.

Then one can advance to the ranks of top-tier masters.

The mark of a top-tier master is that they have mastered a martial art and reached the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm.

Once you reach the level of a top-tier master, it means that forty or fifty ordinary people cannot get close to you, and you can easily defeat dozens of people on your own.

Zhou Hong, the guard at Baoyao Pavilion, is at this level.

He is considered one of the top experts in the entire Cangshan County.

today.

It was that time of year again when the servants had to go to the Nine Ridges outside the city to gather herbs.

Gu Chen, along with a senior guard, was dispatched to accompany a group of servants on a trip to collect herbs, with the task of protecting and supervising them.

along the way.

Even the handyman Deng Xian dared not meet Gu Chen's gaze and kept his distance from him.

He failed to condense his first wisp of blood and qi within the one-month time limit to advance to the Guardian level.

As a menial servant, Gu Chen, the guard, could easily target him now.

Gu Chen might be more restrained inside the Treasure Medicine Pavilion, but outside, Gu Chen would probably take action against him.

Gu Chen also noticed his behavior.

Now you're scared? When you went to tell on me before, why didn't you think of this now?

Gu Chen is not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness.

He was very stingy, and Gu Chen had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to deal with this kid later.

After Deng Xian entered Jiuchong Ridge with a group of servants, he separated from them and went off on his own, heading to remote and difficult-to-access areas.

To avoid being targeted by Gu Chen.

I wonder if his luck has finally turned around.

Even the heavens didn't want him to continue being suppressed by Gu Chen.

He came to a secluded cliff on the back of Jiuchong Ridge and surprisingly found a blood ginseng.

This blood ginseng is a more precious spiritual medicine than ginseng. It is a mutated form of ginseng and belongs to the category of rare spiritual medicines. It can greatly replenish the qi and blood of cultivators.

This blood ginseng is at least thirty years old, and its medicinal properties are equivalent to ten ginsengs of the same age.

Deng Xian was overjoyed; it was truly a blessing in disguise.

With this blood ginseng, he will surely be able to enter the Blood Refining Realm today, and then he will no longer be afraid of Gu Chen, who has just condensed his first wisp of blood qi.

Deng Xian began to carefully dig out the blood ginseng.

A moment later, he dug out the blood ginseng, removed its stems and leaves, and excitedly went to a secluded corner on the edge of the cliff, preparing to swallow it.

But he hadn't had time to swallow the blood ginseng.

A figure appeared in front of him.

"What's there to be happy about?" Gu Chen smiled at him.

"Who!" Deng Xian was startled when he heard someone suddenly speak!

He's been discovered!

Seeing Gu Chen appear before him, Deng Xian realized what was happening.

"You've been following me!" Deng Xian exclaimed in shock and anger.

"You guessed right." Gu Chen sneered, "What are you doing? Hiding rare herbs? You don't want to live anymore, do you!"

"You!" Deng Xian was furious when Gu Chen discovered him.

The scheme was exposed.

According to the rules of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion, if a servant is found to be trying to hoard spiritual medicines, the accompanying guards have the right to kill him on the spot.

These servants who sold themselves to the Baoyao Pavilion could have their lives or deaths decided by the Baoyao Pavilion, and the government would not interfere.

Given his past grievances with Gu Chen, he knew that Gu Chen would definitely not let him go today.

In a flash, his mind raced.

Deng Xian grabbed the blood ginseng and was about to stuff it into his mouth when he ran toward the edge of the cliff.

His only chance of survival now is to jump off this cliff. If he survives, he can escape the Treasure Medicine Pavilion afterwards.

Now he has mastered the technique and obtained this precious blood ginseng.

As long as he can break through to the Blood Refining Realm, anywhere is better than continuing to be a menial servant in the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.

Gu Chen had been on guard against him from the start, preventing him from escaping, so how could he let him get away so easily?

Gu Chen grabbed him directly. Having broken through to the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm, Gu Chen's strength exceeded 600 jin, making it impossible for Deng Xian to resist.

He snatched the blood ginseng from his hand, and then punched him, sending him tumbling off the cliff.

then.

Gu Chen followed the forest path to the bottom of the cliff to investigate.

Upon reaching the bottom of the cliff, they discovered that Deng Xian was already dead, his bones were dislocated in many places, and he was broken apart, with only flesh and blood barely maintaining his body.

Gu Chen turned and left. There were many servants gathering herbs around, and the corpse was likely to be discovered by others. He had to leave quickly. If he dug a pit to bury the person or burned the body here, it would be difficult to explain if someone found out.

After leaving the bottom of the cliff, Gu Chen found a secluded place.

Take the ginseng out of the copper bowl and put the ginseng into the copper bowl.

A line of small golden text appeared:

A 35-year-old mutated blood ginseng can be exchanged for 70 days of pure cultivation.

It could actually be exchanged for seventy days of pure cultivation, equivalent to five Blood Spirit Mushrooms he had previously obtained.

Gu Chen was pleasantly surprised and immediately chose to redeem it.

In an instant, a surge of powerful cultivation energy flowed into his body from the copper bowl.

Gu Chen felt as if this cultivation level was about to burst him apart.

His vital energy began to surge, and his cultivation level continued to improve.

After absorbing all his cultivation, his realm directly rose to the "late stage of Blood Refining Realm".

Gu Chen stood up, his blood and qi surging like smoke, as hot as a furnace, with the power of the blazing sun surrounding him.

His eyesight, hearing, and speed improved again, and his physical strength broke through to 1,000 jin.

The power of the splitting sun is an extremely yang and powerful energy born from the cultivation of the blazing sun function, which has a restraining effect on evil spirits.

With his current cultivation level and the power of the blazing sun generated from his practice of the Blazing Sun Technique, any ordinary evil spirits that dare to approach him will be directly burned.

"With my physical strength of a thousand pounds and the unique power of the blazing sun born from cultivating this technique, I can be considered to have a certain ability to protect myself in this world." Gu Chen clenched his fist.

When we gathered that evening.

They discovered that Deng Xian had not returned.

The servants went to search, and Gu Chen also pretended to help search around.

Eventually, a servant found Deng Xian's body at the foot of the cliff.

To avoid unnecessary trouble and to take responsibility.

Gu Chen and the other guard accompanying him agreed that he had accidentally fallen off the cliff.

This was an unexpected situation.

The crowd gathered a pile of dry firewood and burned Deng Xian's body.

Then Gu Chen and another guard returned with the rest of the servants.

Back at the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.

Gu Chen and another guard reported Deng Xian's death to He Xiangdong.

He Xiangdong summoned the servant who first discovered Deng Xian's body and inquired about the situation at the time.

It was determined that Deng Xian had numerous injuries from the fall, ruling out homicide; he died from an accidental fall off a cliff.

He then dismissed everyone.

The death of a servant is nothing to the Treasure Medicine Pavilion; they can simply hire a new one.

Various unexpected events can happen when going out to collect herbs.

This situation was unavoidable, and the two accompanying guards could not possibly keep an eye on all the servants at all times to ensure their safety.

Of course.

Just when Gu Chen thought the matter would be over,

That night.

Midnight.

As Gu Chen lay on his bed in his room, a strong sense of crisis washed over him, and a chilling atmosphere filled his west wing.

Danger is imminent!

Gu Chen suddenly woke up from his dream.

"Give me back my life!" A shrill scream rang out.

Beside Gu Chen's bed, a malevolent phantom covered in black energy swung its sharp, black claws and lunged at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was startled and immediately rolled off the bed to avoid the attack.

Upon seeing the evil phantom clearly, Gu Chen was greatly alarmed!

That dark figure is Deng Xian!

After his death, he transformed into an evil spirit and came to seek revenge!

The evil spirit that Deng Xian had transformed into missed its attack and immediately turned around with a shriek to attack Gu Chen again.

Gu Chen picked up the treasured sword by the bedside, his powerful blood and qi erupted, and the blazing power of the sun surged forth as he unleashed the Lightning Five-Strike Combo.

A blade of light, imbued with the scorching power of the sun and the essence of blood, slashed directly towards the evil spirit that Deng Xian had transformed into.

"what!"

With a scream, the evil spirit that Deng Xian had transformed into was cleaved out of the window and sent flying backward, leaving a large gap in the paper-covered bamboo window!

"this one?"

Gu Chen watched as the evil spirit that Deng Xian had transformed into was easily cleaved away by Gu Chen's sword.

With that kind of strength, you still dare to come back seeking revenge!

Gu Chen sneered and chased after them.

He had to get rid of the evil spirit that Deng Xian had transformed into.

The evil spirit that Deng Xian transformed into clearly still retains his consciousness from his previous life. If he escapes and reveals that I killed him today, things will go badly.

He killed him and secretly kept the blood ginseng, such a spiritual medicine. If the Treasure Medicine Pavilion found out, they would definitely not let him go.
