Primordial Qi

The days were the same as usual. Gu Chenyu did not get complacent just because he had a little fighting power. He knew very well that there were still countless horrors in this world. Now, he could only say that he had a little power to protect himself.

After talking with Li Tianxuan, Gu Chenyu learned about some requirements of the secret realm and the members who were going there this time. When he found out that the Medicine Refining Hall had prepared more than 300 masters of the Transformation Realm this time, Gu Chenyu realized that his Transformation Realm was not good enough among this group of people.

They cannot practice the immortal methods, but they can learn mortal martial arts. Every move they make is as fast as lightning, and they have been training secretly for more than a year.

No wonder I rarely see energetic people in the medicine field. Those who have reached the state of enlightenment around 30 years old have gone for training. What I usually see are basically old men and little kids.

The consumption of medicinal materials during this period is huge. In the past, people came to get medicine once every six months at most, but now people come to get medicine every day, so the loss that can be reported is naturally more. That is why Li Tianxuan and Bai Yansha are so unscrupulous in collecting elixirs.

According to Li Tianxuan, going to the secret realm is a life-threatening journey. It would be lucky for ordinary people like them to come out alive, so what's wrong with taking some food?

A few more people flew in from the sky. An old man and a few disciples landed beside Gu Chenyu and said, "Little medicine boy, please prepare these herbs for me. I will ask these two disciples to come and get them this afternoon. Here are the terms of the storage bag that have been approved by the sect."

Gu Chenyu took a look at the document and confirmed that there was no problem before taking the storage bag. The old man smiled and took out a bottle of medicine and said, "This is a medicine for cleansing the meridians and marrow. I made it myself. I heard that the sect's secret realm will be opened soon. I wonder how many people your medicine hall has prepared this time."

Obviously, the old man came to gather information. After all, the Medicine Refining Hall was not under his jurisdiction, and the news would not be revealed so early. He also wanted to seek protection for his two disciples.

"Old senior, this kind of thing will naturally be announced later. I'm just a medicine boy and not qualified to know so much." Gu Chenyu refused. It's not that he didn't accept bribes, but he didn't know whether Old Li said there were three hundred people, but he didn't know the exact number.

He had experienced a lot of things like this, and people from the other three halls had often come to him for help. The head of the Herb Picking Hall was in seclusion all year round and would not take care of these things at all, so they were all presided over by the people under him, especially Li Tianxuan. He had trained six of the eight people, so he had great power in the Herb Refining Hall.

"Everyone knows that you are the Taoist boy beside Li Tianxuan. I see that your aura has become calm and restrained. I believe you have reached the realm of transformation through that method. Your name must be in the secret realm. I have no ill intentions. I just want to seek some protection for my useless disciples. They cannot use spiritual power in the secret realm. Their strength is not even one tenth of yours. There may be dangers in the secret realm. It would be best if you can ask the brothers in the Herb Gathering Hall to take care of them."

"We are all from the same sect, so we will naturally protect you. You don't have to worry." Li Tianxuan said.

Gu Chenyu didn't know when Li Tianxuan came to his side. After all, he was already in the state of transformation, so how could he not sense the aura of this old man?

"Master Li, please reveal a little. It is not easy for me to accept a disciple at my age. This secret realm is very hostile to cultivators, so I have no choice but to resort to this last resort." said the old man.

The two of them argued for a long time, and Gu Chenyu took the opportunity to slip away. He distributed the medicinal materials to his subordinates to pick the medicinal herbs. Gu Chenyu picked the difficult ones himself to ensure the integrity of the medicine.

Several more women flew in the sky. They were all beautiful and had plump figures. Even wearing loose clothes, they could not hide their graceful figures. The one leading them had an even hotter figure.

"Oh, oh, oh, Mr. Li, you have been very busy recently. Do you want me to give you a shoulder massage so you can relax?" The woman's lips curled up slightly, with a thin curve at the end of her eyes. She walked forward to Li Tianxuan's ear and exhaled a sweet voice.

"I, an old man, can't stand this kind of trouble caused by beautiful women. If you have any problem, go find that boy." Li Tianxuan pointed at Gu Chenyu who was picking herbs in the distance. Gu Chenyu, who usually had steady hands, felt his hands suddenly tremble, and it seemed that something bad had happened.

Gu Chenyu shook his head left and right. Sure enough, he saw the old man Li Tianxuan pointing at him and saying something. He knew at a glance that nothing good was going to happen.

Gu Chenyu pretended to be picking herbs, but in fact he was hunched over and preparing to crawl away. Old Li was very kind to him, but that didn't mean he wouldn't cheat him, especially since the secret realm was about to open, and he didn't want to create any more trouble.

"Little brother, what are you busy with in the field? You have already climbed more than ten meters. Is your sister so scary?" said the leading woman, and the others smiled charmingly, which was beautiful beyond words.

Gu Chenyu had no intention of watching, he just bowed his waist and clasped his fists and said: "What are you doing, fairies? Do you have anything to tell me?"

"Don't be so nervous. We are still in our prime. I don't know how long it has been since I saw such a cute little brother. Come, let me pinch your face and I'll give you candy." A much younger woman pinched her face and said, "Wow, your skin is pretty good. It's almost better than mine."

Gu Chenyu felt numb in his heart. These women had lived for who knows how many years, but he was an old man who had the memories of his past lives and had survived for more than ten years in this life. It seemed that even if his ages were added together, he was not as old as them.

"Haha, sisters, please stop teasing me. I'm busy collecting herbs for my senior brother in the Medicine Refining Hall."

Gu Chenyu broke away, his face was obviously red from shyness, and he made the others laugh so hard that he forgot his image. He was still a child of about fourteen years old, so it was difficult for him to act like he was better than his peers. Gu Chenyu didn't know how he managed to blush.

"Take us to the medicine garden. We need to pick some herbs. This is the token given by the sect." said the eldest sister who led the group.

After confirming that the token was correct, Gu Chenyu brought them to the medicine garden that was personally supervised by Li Tianxuan. The spiritual herbs here grew extremely fast, which was naturally incomparable to those outside.

"Little brother, you should also go into the secret realm. The sisters are going too. Once we get there, you must send someone to protect the sisters."

"Okay, okay. We in the Herb Collection Hall will definitely protect all the fairies. Please get down to business first."

After collecting several kinds of rare spiritual medicines, Gu Chenyu sent these little ancestors away. Most of these people had reached the Gathering Spirit Realm, and the leader was even a Grandmaster. Gu Chenyu didn't know if he could fight against a Grandmaster, but Li Tianxuan had a record of kicking a Gathering Spirit Realm master to death. He would have to find the old man to spar with him one day.

At night, when helping Old Li sort out the list, Gu Chenyu realized that this operation was larger than ever before. Not only did they include people from the Lingmu Sect, but also people from other sects. The other three major sects plus the Protectorate had a total of more than 1,500 people, and with those from smaller sects, there were more than 2,000 people. Gu Chenyu looked at the list of more than 300 masters of the Transformation Realm and immediately felt that the number was not enough.

If a fight breaks out inside, we won’t have enough people.

The opening of the sect's secret realm is a major event for the Lingmu Sect. They don't know how much they will receive in this wave of gifts. In comparison, it is better to go in together to seek opportunities than to keep the secret realm to themselves. After all, risk is proportional to return. High risk means high return. Bringing people from other sects can reduce the risk of the sect and charge a high price. So they will definitely choose to open the secret realm.

Gu Chenyu needs to remember all the matters in the secret book, and also remember the accompanying personnel. The main task of these mortals is to pick elixirs that cultivators cannot pick.

In the secret realm, using spiritual power will backfire with time, consuming an enormous amount of lifespan. According to legend, the last time someone from the Lingmu Sect used his magical powers in there, he turned into bones. Just a single move would cause decades of his lifespan to disappear.

Therefore, the secret realm only allows warriors below the level of Grandmaster to enter, and they must wear a special spiritual power ring on their wrists to avoid being eroded by the law of time.
