Primordial Qi

Even after entering the Great Perfection of the Transformation Realm, he still couldn't ignite his spiritual power, and the Qi Refining Technique couldn't come into contact with spiritual power. Once there was spiritual power in the body, the two forces would conflict, causing the meridians to swell, or even explode and die. Gu Chenyu's body couldn't retain spiritual power, so Li Tianxuan asked him to practice boxing all day, which was actually a method of tempering the body and nourishing qi, which had infinite magical uses.

If he still cannot ignite the spiritual power after reaching the Heavenly Realm, then this technique can be practiced continuously. Unlike Li Tianxuan, Gu Chenyu is completely unable to bear the spiritual power. After Li Tianxuan cultivated to the Heavenly Realm, he began to feel the spiritual power stirring, which made him doubt whether this technique can really be practiced. Li Tianxuan's long life is inseparable from this technique. He can only reach the strength of a Venerable after practicing to the end. For this reason, he wants to see if Gu Chenyu can practice and see a possibility. His trip is also to strengthen his determination to step into the secret realm and explore the ancient city.

"We were more curious about you at the beginning and didn't really treat you well. You don't blame me?" Bai Yansha asked.

"What are you hating? It doesn't matter where you live. Isn't it good like this now?" Gu Chenyu asked back.

"This is considered to have cut off your path to cultivation."

"So what? Isn't there a chance to enter the ancient city?"

"But it's extremely dangerous, I..."

The two were silent for a while. Gu Chenyu didn't feel anything, thinking that having something was better than nothing. However, Bai Yansha felt a sense of guilt.

"Xiao Chenyu, tell me, why do people live such complicated lives?"

Bai Yansha felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He had children, but he had never experienced their true love. He had never seen his parents. Since he could remember, he had been practicing in the Lingmu Sect. He was extremely talented, and even his master had never felt such a complicated emotion.

"There are so many things in this world, so many troubles. Whether you are a cultivator or a mortal, you are all practicing. What you cultivate is the mind." Bai Yansha sighed.

"It's okay to be complicated. It's both a form of practice and a joy."

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Senior, I heard you buried a pot of wine? Don't you plan to wait for me to go in and dig it out for you to taste? See if it's a thousand-year-old wine." Gu Chenyu said.

"Try it, of course I have to."

"Then live well."

"Okay, wait till you take it out and honor me."

.........

Bai Yansha had obviously spent a lot of energy talking so much, and Gu Chenyu didn't ask much, as the two had been chatting for a long time. When Bai Yansha fell asleep, he went to Lingmu City to make arrangements. In two days, the secret realm would be opened.

Gu Chenyu looked heavy-hearted. He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. He was also lucky. He had been healthy and had no major karma. He was also lucky to meet these two old men. It was much better than staying in a small village for a lifetime. The two old men did have a certain purpose at the beginning, but after all, they were not trying to harm him. Gu Chenyu naturally did not feel resentment. Instead, the two of them tried their best to take out all their collections for many years. Gu Chenyu had to repay this kindness.

"Boy, it looks like you are worried about something." Li Tianxuan naturally saw that Gu Chenyu was hiding something in his heart. He sat there with a stern face and said nothing. It was obvious that he was unhappy.

"Don't worry, Old Man Bai will be fine." Li Tianxuan comforted.

"It's not his business. Old man Bai talked to me a lot, including about that ancient city." Gu Chenyu said calmly.

"Oh? I told you all this." Li Tianxuan seemed a little surprised, but only a little.

"Don't worry, I won't let you accompany me there. That's the path I want to take. If I take you with me, I'm afraid you will snatch my opportunity!" Li Tianxuan said.

Gu Chenyu was silent, and Li Tianxuan didn't say much either. They both did their own things.

Lingmu City has been very lively these days, with lights and decorations everywhere, and it is full of joy, just like when the people on Blue Star celebrate the New Year.

"How many years have passed? In the blink of an eye, it's almost ten years."

Gu Chenyu stretched out his hand, and a few snowflakes dripped into his palm.

"Snowing?"

Gu Chenyu was confused. How could it snow in Lingmu City when the protective formation for the sect was there?

"It's a fairy, it's Fairy Han."

The people in Lingmu City were cheering. They all looked up at the sky, full of surprise and enthusiasm.

Fairy Han, Gu Qingxue?

Gu Chenyu looked up and saw a woman in white clothes dancing in the air, holding a magic sword in her right hand and a piece of blue silk in her left hand. From Gu Chenyu's perspective, Gu Qingxue was dancing with a sword under the moon. The moon was bright, the beauty was dancing, and the white snow was falling.

"What a nice view."

Even Gu Chenyu couldn't help but admire such a beautiful scenery.

Everyone was watching in fascination. After the dance, it took a long time for everyone to react after Gu Qingxue left. Gu Chenyu also woke up from his trance, reluctant to leave. A chill swept through his body, and then he was shocked to find that he was covered with snow. The Lingmu City was also covered in white, as if there had been a heavy snowfall.

"There is such a beauty in this world." Gu Chenyu exclaimed in amazement. He was so stunned that he didn't know how to describe it. She was as light as a startled dragon, as graceful as a swimming dragon, with a graceful figure. He was intoxicated and mesmerized.

"Silly boy, come in quickly. People have been gone for a long time and you haven't seen enough." Li Tianxuan reminded.

Li Tianxuan was reading a book, and was warming himself by a fire that had been lit at some point. He was not amazed by the dance, and did not seem to be interested in it. He just curled up, as if he was really cold.

"The ice and snow transformed by this spiritual power are not ordinary. It's freezing me to death. An old man like me can't stand the cold. I need to be roasted a little bit." As he said this, Li Tianxuan threw firewood into it, as if he was really going to be frozen to death.

"The ice and snow turned into spiritual power, the fire you light won't be able to keep you warm." Gu Chenyu said expressionlessly.

"You are such a silly boy. These are all branches of spiritual wood. Do you think you can keep warm? Come in quickly." Li Tianxuan said. He didn't know whether Gu Chenyu was blaming himself and Bai Yansha.

"How about it, Fairy Han's sword dance is beautiful, right?" Li Tianxuan said with a wink.

"Very beautiful." Gu Chenyu nodded undeniably.

“Hahaha, that’s right, she’s beautiful. This is the prodigy of the Haoyue Sect, a true prodigy. He achieved celestial being within sixty years, comprehended the realm of ice, and mastered the secret method of the Haoyue Sect: tide. This is a true genius. The ancestor of the Haoyue Sect who is above the celestial being personally accepted her as a disciple, and at that time even the Protectorate came to snatch her away. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, they failed to snatch her away. I guess the Haoyue Sect must have paid a huge price for this.” Li Tianxuan said. He obviously knew more about this.

"So he is a powerful celestial being. No wonder he has such power that he can cause the heaven and earth to change color." Gu Chenyu seemed to have suddenly realized.

“Alas.” Li Tianxuan shook his head. He felt that Gu Chenyu was really stupid and still had the mentality of a child. He said, “The fact that she can dance on the restriction above Lingmu City shows that her strength is at least that of a celestial being. This is an ancient formation that has been continuously improved for thousands of years. It cannot be broken without the cultivation of a celestial being.”

Without refutation, Gu Chenyu sat silently by the fire, warming himself with a gloomy face.

"She has a younger sister who will be going to the secret realm this time. Her name is Gu Qingrou, and she has such a nice name too." Li Tianxuan said.

"Sister?" Gu Chenyu asked doubtfully.

“Maybe their elders are able to have children. It’s normal for them to have another child when they feel like it at this age. It seems that he is at the peak of the Gathering Spirit Realm and is on the Haoyue Sect’s list.” Li Tianxuan said.

Gu Chenyu just nodded when he heard this, without showing any great interest. These did not matter to him.

"I don't know much about this cold fairy. She seems to be a quiet person by nature. This snow is just to add to the fun..."

"Can I not go?" Gu Chenyu suddenly said.

"Huh?" Li Tianxuan was stunned.

"I say, can we not go? Can we not go to that ancient city?" Gu Chenyu's voice trembled a little, and his face looked a little gloomy.

"Sure, just wait for me outside. If I don't come out when the time is up, you..."

"I am talking about you!"

Gu Chenyu shouted, his tone slightly angry.

"No." Li Tianxuan said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenyu slammed the door and left the Lingmu City's mansion angrily.

Li Tianxuan had a gloomy look on his face. He had watched Gu Chenyu grow up and nurtured him wholeheartedly. It could be said that he had feelings for her, but now, there was probably a rift between the two of them.
