Primordial Qi

In the dark night, a thunder exploded, and red lightning flashed across the sky above Lingmu City, and many people were awakened by the thunder. The man in black wanted to use his magical power to escape, but the celestial warrior sighed, and a huge spiritual power palm slowly closed, and the man in black was directly restrained.

"The power of space and the palm transformed by spiritual power directly blocked this piece of heaven and earth. The celestial warrior is really terrifying." Lin Yi said, and with one move he caught the person they almost lost.

"You have come to my Lingmu City, why don't you come and sit down? You are just a venerable, but you still want to escape from my hands. You really don't take me seriously."

The celestial warrior hidden in the void revealed his figure. It was none other than Wang Daosheng, the only celestial warrior in the Herb Picking Hall.

"Things have come to this. There is no point in saying more. I accept my fate." The man in black said resolutely.

"Oh, you still want to self-destruct? I'll give you a chance?"

Wang Daosheng sneered and pulled back with his big hand, and the man in black a hundred miles away was trapped in the air by him.

"Both the Dharma and the Body are cultivated? Your strength is not bad, but unfortunately, your luck is really bad."

Wang Daosheng swung out a palm, shattering his meridians and qi palace. He stretched out his hands, and a golden elixir shining with golden light was dug out, and his spiritual root was pulled out at the same time.

"Pfft, you are so cruel. You actually destroyed all my cultivation."

The man in black fainted on the spot, and all his cultivation was gone.

"Hall Master."

The seven people flew to Wang Daosheng's side, and the man in black also had his veil taken off at this moment, and was detained by Wang Daosheng with his spiritual power.

"Thank you for your hard work, elders." Wang Daosheng asked in consolation.

"This person's martial arts is a bit like the Qiwu Sect back then. He can even perform the earth escape technique, so he must not be an ordinary person." Someone said.

"It doesn't matter. Just leave this small-time character to my people in the Herb Collection Hall. Put him in the dungeon and torture him thoroughly." Wang Daosheng said.

“Hall Master, if this man is from the Qiwu Sect, he must not be let go. Back then, someone from their sect stole the Heavenly Five Elements Pill, which resulted in the birth of one less perfect Heavenly Man. Their behavior was extremely bad. We have a feud with the Qiwu Sect that wants to destroy our sect, so we should leave no one alive, or let him be tried by our Law Enforcement Hall and have him tell us the whereabouts of the Qiwu Sect.” said the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.

"Elder Sun Lan, are you questioning the ability of my Herb Picking Hall, or are you questioning my decision?" Wang Daosheng said unhappily. As a celestial being of the Lingmu Sect, he naturally had a certain authority. Your Excellency was not qualified to question him.

"Can…"

Sun Lan wanted to say something, but was stopped by another elder, who said, "Since the hall master has made a decision, we will not disturb him and will go ahead."

"Well, you guys can leave too." Wang Daosheng said.

"Yes."

The seven people left in response, and the night returned to peace.

"Hey kid over there, stop pretending. You don't look like one at all. Do you think I can't see you just because you peeled off a piece of tree bark to cover yourself?" Wang Daosheng was obviously speechless. He could see through such a crude disguise at a glance.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenyu gathered his true energy and flew into the air, smiling and saying, "The hall master is indeed powerful. The sky and the earth change color when he makes a move, and the invader is easily captured. Our hall master is handsome and powerful. He is really a great blessing for my Lingmu Sect and the face of my herb-collecting hall."

After all the flattery, Wang Daosheng was a little surprised. He remembered that Gu Chenyu was always quiet and never spoke when following Li Tianxuan.

"Why are you here, kid? Are you in cahoots with the villains?" Wang Daosheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Hall Master, you are really wronging me. I am the most capable and best fighting assistant of the chief in the Herb Picking Hall. I have been diligently contributing my insignificant life to the Lingmu Sect. I am hardworking and always think about the Lingmu Sect. Moreover, I fought with this thief for hundreds of moves and was beaten to a pulp by him. I almost died. Fortunately, I succeeded in delaying the time and let the elders of the sect arrive in time. Otherwise, if this thief had escaped, there would have been endless troubles." Gu Chenyu complained directly, with snot and tears.

"Alright, alright, you're not injured at all, you have thick skin and tough flesh, don't act pitiful, but you did contribute in blocking the enemy, so I'll reward you with a magic talisman. It doesn't require any spiritual power to activate, just attach it to your feet and your speed will be doubled." Wang Daosheng said, and then he pulled a magic talisman out from the black-clothed man and handed it directly to Gu Chenyu.

No? Are you so stingy? Just take the spoils as a reward.

"Don't push your luck. It's not good to be too greedy." Wang Daosheng warned him, then he searched his storage bag and said, "There's also a small dagger that uses true qi. I'll give it to you to play with as well."

Gu Chenyu took the dagger and activated his true Qi. Sure enough, the true Qi directly attached to the blade could double its power.

"Go, find Li Tianxuan and see if you can pry something out of him."

Wang Daosheng threw the unconscious man in black directly to Gu Chenyu and left in a leisurely manner.

I touched this guy's storage bag, and wow, it was empty, there was nothing in it.

He led his men back to Li Tianxuan's residence. He did not show any surprise, but just asked, "Did the celestial being take action?"

Of course he noticed the commotion outside the city. The giant hand grabbed the person back from a hundred miles away, so the commotion was quite big.

"Well, let's go."

"Senior, what is Qiwumen?" asked Gu Chenyu. He had vaguely heard this name before.

“Qiwumen?

Li Tianxuan paused, he had heard of this name before, Qiwu Sect. He had a deep impression of this sect. When he joined the sect, which was about two hundred years ago, a shocking theft case occurred in Lingmu Sect.

The Lingmu Sect has refined a heavenly-grade elixir, the Celestial Five Elements Pill, which is an elixir made from the souls of five celestial beings with different attributes, combined with many spiritual medicines of the five elements, and it took a full year to refine using earth fire. One elixir can make up for the five deficiencies, and after being taken by a Venerable Realm cultivator, one can directly advance to the celestial being without any defects. The elixir and the golden elixir complement each other, and the soul reflected by it is incomparably powerful, and it is just a matter of time before one can step above the celestial being in the future.

However, the spy planted by Qiwumen leaked the news, and then the elixir was stolen by its celestial ancestor, causing Lingmu Sect to lose an opportunity to step above the celestial beings.

Eight out of the dozen celestial beings in Lingmu Sect attacked together and carried out a devastating blow. The two old ancestors of the sect died on the spot, the celestial being who stole the elixir was skinned for public display, and the entire Qiwu Sect was slaughtered but the celestial being's five elements elixir was not found. It is said that the mountain gate was even razed to the ground, but still nothing was found, and the matter was finally left unresolved.

"So that's the case. How could the Qiwu Sect be so desperate to steal such a precious elixir?" Gu Chenyu couldn't help but be curious.

"The Qiwu Sect has produced a rare genius that is rare in a thousand years. He practices both magic and body. At a young age, he has reached the level of a Venerable. In the sect competition, he defeated geniuses from four sects and fought against many enemies alone. He shined brilliantly. The Qiwu Sect probably brought such a catastrophic disaster upon itself because of that genius." Li Tianxuan said. He couldn't understand how a third-rate sect dared to do that. They wouldn't target the Lingmu Sect for the sake of a genius.

"Could it be this guy?" Gu Chenyu said as he looked at the man in black he was carrying.

“No, that genius was killed personally by the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Zhou Quan. At that time, the three celestial beings took a lot of effort to exhaust his spiritual power. In the end, he was killed by Zhou Quan’s fatal blow. And this strength was obviously not enough.” Li Tianxuan recalled, as if he was really on the battlefield.

"This isn't something we should be thinking about. Let's go to the dungeon first. Hopefully we can find out something."

The two men came to the dungeon, applied medicine and bandaged the black-clothed man's abdomen to ensure that he would not die. They checked whether there was any poison hidden in his teeth. After confirming that there was no problem, they fixed him to the cross. Gu Chenyu directly poured a basin of cold water to wake him up.

"Say it or not, say it or not, say it or not."

Gu Chenyu didn't say anything and started whipping him a few times. It was the first time he hit someone like that and he was shaking all over.

"Senior, this guy is quite stubborn. He fainted without making a sound after being hit so many times." Gu Chenyu said breathlessly. Every time he whipped him, he would ask him if he wanted to say anything. If he didn't, he would continue beating him. He whipped him more than ten times and made him faint.

"No, you..."

Li Tianxuan's expression darkened. He really didn't expect Gu Chenyu to interrogate him like this. You didn't even ask him what he said!

Before the man in black fainted, he was full of doubts about his life. He thought he had met the devil. He even wanted to pretend to be indifferent and said, "No matter what you say, I won't say a word." But he was knocked unconscious by Gu Chenyu.

"Senior, is there something wrong? It's my first interrogation and I'm a little nervous." Gu Chenyu said embarrassedly. He always felt like he was missing a step.

"It's okay, it's fine, it's fine."

Gu Chenyu took out some medicine powder that could recover very quickly and applied it on the man's wound. After a while, scabs began to form and the big hole in the abdomen was almost healed. This medicine powder was made of white smoke and sand. It was not as effective as white bones, but it was good at stopping bleeding and forming scabs.

The man in black woke up slowly, looked at Gu Chenyu and started to curse: "Little bastard, I should have killed you with one punch. If I wasn't afraid of being discovered by my spiritual power, I would never fight you with my physical body."

"Say it or not, say it or not, say it or not."

Li Tianxuan took out a whip and whipped the man in black, causing his skin to burst. He dipped it in chili water and the whipping hurt even more.

After a beating, the man in black passed out again. Gu Chenyu applied medicine to him in a mean manner. After a while, the man in black woke up and was beaten unconscious again. This operation lasted until dawn. The person recording the beating could not bear to watch the two crazy people. They were subjected to various punishments, such as whips, red-hot iron blocks, and maces. During the whole process, they were only asked whether they would say three words or not. The person recording went outside to light a dry cigarette and waited for someone to take over.

The people who were beaten by Gu Chenyu some time ago heard that Lingmu Sect had caught the little thief, and they came to the dungeon with fire in their eyes. How could Gu Chenyu miss such an opportunity? For 200 Lingshi, he could experience knocking the thief unconscious once, and he had to say a word during the whole process, which could be regarded as asking questions for himself.

Not surprisingly, a lot of spirit stones were collected. These people were like enemies meeting each other, and their eyes were red with envy. The whips they gave were much more severe than Gu Chenyu's. Several female disciples couldn't bear to do it, so they asked Gu Chenyu to do it, and they watched from the side. Gu Chenyu said that it was no problem, but they had to pay extra, and they were severely ripped off.

"The height doesn't match, it doesn't seem that tall." Someone came out to question.

“Everyone, this boy practices both magic and body, and has learned the skill of shrinking bones. His true form was revealed when his cultivation was abolished by the master of Tianren Hall. So, if you have grudges, take revenge. If you have grievances, take justice. Don’t hold back. Knock him out and I will apply medicine. Just leave him with a breath.” Gu Chenyu said. Seeing how cruel these people were, he was actually afraid too, as if he was the one being hit. So he had to let this guy take the blame.

For three consecutive days, the man in black had been tortured to the point of losing weight, and a lot of his flesh and blood had actually been beaten off. Gu Chenyu's medicine could only stop the bleeding, but had no way to restore his flesh and blood. At this moment, the man in black was dying.

"Why don't you confess?" Gu Chenyu couldn't help but say. Even though he was already tired, he didn't faint this time. He decided to do some ideological work.

"Hand... confess what? Why don't you ask? You locked me up here and beat me for three days and three nights. You applied medicine when I was knocked unconscious, and you tortured me in different ways every day. You changed more than a dozen people in three consecutive days, and I don't know how many shifts we had. You just come up and ask me whether I should tell or not. Why don't you give me a chance to tell?" The man in black trembled at first, and then said angrily.

Gu Chenyu looked at Li Tianxuan, and they both looked confused, thinking that the other had asked. Gu Chenyu believed that he must have asked at the beginning, otherwise he would not have drawn for so long. After Li Tianxuan drew a few times, he just watched from the side, dirtying his hands, and got more than 4,000 spirit stones for nothing to give to Wang Daosheng in exchange for a lot of life-saving runes, which were all rare equipment necessary to go to the secret realm.

Wake up the sleeping recorder and signal him that he can start recording.

"Name."

"Nameless." said the man in black.

Gu Chenyu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It seemed that this guy was here to make fun of him and was not cooperating at all.

"It seems that you are not yet fully aware of your thoughts. You deserve to be punished."

"No, no, no, Wu Ming, that Wu."

Wu Ming said excitedly, he wished he could come out and write his name, but he was hanging on the cross and couldn't move, so he took out a piece of paper and put a pen in his mouth and asked him to write it.

"Oh, so that's it. Sorry, the fight almost started again." Gu Chenyu scratched his head embarrassedly. Li Tianxuan pretended to be asleep, so he didn't see the embarrassing operation of the main player.

"Tell us clearly everything you want to explain. Tell us what you should and shouldn't say." Gu Chenyu said viciously.

Wu Ming had learned his lesson this time and answered whatever was asked. He told Gu Chenyu a lot about the Qiwu Sect, which made Gu Chenyu terrified. It turned out that the previous proud child of heaven was not dead, but his external incarnation was beaten to pieces, causing him to be still unconscious. This time he entered the Lingmu Sect to seek the magical medicine to repair his soul.
