Primordial Qi

Chapter 106 Pretending

A ghost shadow left Gu Chenyu's body in pain. He screamed and wailed. The ghost face was horrified into a chrysanthemum shape. Xu Xian'an simply crushed it into pieces with one hand.

"Boy, are you okay!"

Xu Xian'an supported Gu Chenyu's shaky body. He could feel the huge movement of Gu Chenyu's soul. He felt a strong sense of uneasiness and awkwardness, as if he had been hit hard by something.

Taking out a pill of high grade, he refined it into mist and placed it at Gu Chenyu's nostrils. He felt relieved only after seeing him absorb the thick mist. This was a sixth-grade Soul Essence Pill, which had a miraculous effect on repairing the soul.

After a while, Gu Chenyu's soul became much more stable. Gu Chenyu in the sea of consciousness refined these tonic soul powers and dripped them into the sea of consciousness. He was shocked. A sixth-level elixir was given to him to absorb. This Xu Xian'an might want to starve him to death.

Gu Chenyu woke up slowly and pretended not to know what had happened. He looked at Xu Xian'an who suddenly appeared in front of him and pretended to be frightened, and even punched him directly in the abdomen.

"Damn it, he wants to pretend to be City Lord Xu to deceive me." Gu Chenyu said angrily, his eyes burning with anger. The masculine aura on his body was revealed, which made Xu Xian'an a little stunned. How dare this kid?

The punch was like mortal flesh hitting fine iron. Gu Chenyu felt that his fist was broken into pieces. If he had known earlier, he would not have hit so hard.

"Boy, look carefully, that evil cultivator is dead." Xu Xian'an said helplessly. The punch was very powerful. If it hit the Venerable, he would definitely not be able to withstand it. He could resist it, but it would also feel some pain.

"You're quite strong, boy." Xu Xian'an teased. He didn't want Gu Chenyu to know that this was a trap set by him.

"Why is City Lord Xu here?" Gu Chenyu asked curiously.

"I was bored and came out for a walk, and I just happened to meet him."

"I see. That's how it is. Today I'm all thanks to City Lord Xu for his help. That ghost thing broke into my consciousness and ran away on its own. It didn't even look at my decades of practice as a virgin, which means I have a pure yang body. It's lucky that I didn't kill such an evil creature when it got close to me." Gu Chenyu said disdainfully, as if it was really due to his years of being single.

Xu Xian'an's mouth twitched. This is the soul of a celestial being. It's lucky that you, a single guy, haven't been possessed by his body, but you're actually exaggerating about it.

"No, those kids."

Gu Chenyu was horrified and immediately ran towards the cave, where several people had already died.

Gu Chenyu looked sad. He was really sad. So many bright red lives were lost.

"It's okay, nothing will happen." Xu Xian'an patted Gu Chenyu on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.

He formed seals with his hands and forcibly pulled back the soul that had not yet left the body. He took out a few pills and asked Gu Chenyu to give them to the children. The wounds in the throat healed miraculously.

The souls returned to their bodies, and the children woke up slowly, somewhat confused about everything.

Xu Xian'an waved his hand again, and they all fell into a deep sleep. He then made a seal to erase something. After doing this, he turned to Gu Chenyu and said, "Don't worry, these children will be fine. I have erased their bad memories. They will return home the next day. Moreover, they all have good talents and dual-attribute spiritual roots. My City Lord's Mansion can also cultivate them."

"In that case, I thank the city lord on behalf of these children."

Gu Chenyu performed a courtesy, secretly cursing the old fox in his heart. The means were so extraordinary that he could bring the dead back to life. If he also had this skill, then the old man would not have died young. He only lived for over a hundred years. Wasn’t this just the beginning of the Venerable Realm?

"You're joking, little brother. This is my job. Besides, these children have good talents and are expected to become the backbone of our Dawu Dynasty in the future." Xu Xian'an said. The righteous aura from his body shocked Gu Chenyu. Could it be that there is a sequel to the righteous aura nourishing technique?

I couldn't help but feel curious about the martial arts book. If I practiced it, when I went out in the future, I would be filled with a sense of righteousness and would be known to others as a righteous person at first glance. My status would be really amazing.

"Don't you know your little friend's name?"

"Junior Zhu Batian." Gu Chenyu bowed.

Xu Xian'an was obviously stunned? The handsome and thin man in front of him was far less domineering than the name.

"Friend Batian, I wonder if you can still recruit disciples to join the Qingming Sect at this time?"

"Of course you are welcome at any time. The sect's secret realm will be opened, and our disciples entered the outer circle for training during the competition. Not only was there no casualties, but hundreds of disciples reached the Venerable realm in one fell swoop. That day, the sky was filled with golden light. Within one day, more than 300 false elixir cultivators achieved the Venerable realm, and seven or eight geniuses entered the Venerable realm." Gu Chenyu said, revealing some of the information to Xu Xian'an.

Xu Xian'an nodded. The power that the Great Wu Dynasty had devoted its efforts to cultivate was indeed quite powerful. After thinking for a while, he said, "I have heard that there are peerless geniuses in other continents who have achieved celestial beings at the age of 30. I originally thought that this news was just bragging by some sects, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"When will the Qingming Secret Realm be opened?"

"In about a year, all Grandmasters will be able to participate, and a portion of the items they obtain will be handed over to the sect. The exact amount is still unknown."

"Very good. I will personally send some geniuses to join the sect someday. Please say a few good words to them, young friend." Xu Xian'an said. With his strength, he didn't need to do so. Training offspring was a big hassle. Sending them to the sect for training not only did not consume resources, but also allowed them to reach an outstanding realm. That was naturally the best of both worlds.

"I am just a disciple, my words carry little weight. With the city lord's strength, why does he need my flattery? It would be an honor for our humble sect to come to the Qingming Sect in person. Our headmaster will come to welcome you in person." Gu Chenyu said with a smile.

"Haha, it's always better to say more nice things." Xu Xian'an seemed to have thought of something, and said, "There are some things that I can't handle. If I really go to Qingming Sect, it will be hard to explain. I hope you can take care of me."

Gu Chenyu nodded. The existence of these monarchs was indeed enough to make people wonder, what was the purpose of interacting with the sect? Want to betray the dynasty? In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Xian'an's move was the safest, but I didn't know what method he would use.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Xu Xian'an casually tore open a space crack. Gu Chenyu was shocked. Such strength was too terrifying.

"My friend, you can quickly return to Qingming Sect if you leave from here. When my people come, they will contact you using the sound transmission jade pendant."

After Xu Xian'an finished speaking, he sent Gu Chenyu hundreds of miles away. This kind of method was really scary.

"Qingming Sect is quite interesting. This boy is quite powerful. His soul has been forced out, which has attracted these old monsters to want to take over his body. I wonder if the few useless disciples in the clan can survive in Qingming Sect. We have to send a lot of disciples of the Grandmasters to Qingming Sect. It seems that the secret realm is only open to disciples above the Grandmaster level..."

Xu Xian'an murmured to himself, feeling that Gu Chenyu was leaving a hundred miles away. He waved his hand and took all the children away.

Gu Chenyu was very fast, controlling the flying sword to rush to Qingming Sect. This Xu Xian'an not only wanted to trick him, but also wanted him to work for nothing. Fortunately, he didn't kill the remnant soul of the celestial being for him, otherwise, he might provoke some old monster.

Checking the Soul-Destroying Needle in the body, there was still a lot of black mist on its surface. The Soul-Destroying Needle was absorbing the remaining soul power. When the soul body entered the center of the eyebrows, Gu Chenyu took out the Soul-Destroying Needle and stabbed the remaining soul directly, seriously injuring it with one blow.

"Fortunately, I pretended to be an ordinary cultivator and did not show my magic weapon, otherwise I would have caused a lot of trouble." Gu Chenyu naturally believed in the principle of not showing off one's wealth. A monarch-level magic weapon might not necessarily not attract competition.

After being away for three days, Gu Chenyu just returned to Qingming Sect. He wanted to find a place to hide as the world outside was too dangerous.
