Primordial Qi

There was a chill in the air, and the originally clear sky suddenly dimmed. A powerful aura emanated from the old man, causing the sky and the earth to change color, making Gu Chenyu feel tremendous pressure.

"You are quite courageous, young man. It seems that you don't know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young unless you show your strength." The old man was actually a powerful celestial being. His pressure was concentrated on Gu Chenyu, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on him and making it hard for him to breathe.

"Who is making trouble here?"

A majestic voice came from between heaven and earth. It was Xu Xian'an from the City Lord's Mansion. He dispersed the black cloud as soon as he was born, and a scolding made the old man spit blood.

The old man showed fear on his face and fled away quickly. A flying sword from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion chased him and pierced the old man directly.

Gu Chenyu had a thousand horses galloping in his heart. Just recruiting a disciple had caused trouble. What kind of special physique did this Lu Yuan have that caused others to snatch him away?

Xu Xian'an appeared beside Gu Chenyu. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Although his temples were white, his face was young. He must have cultivated to an extremely high level, which kept his appearance unchanged.

"Little guy from the Qingming Sect? How did you get involved with this evil cultivator?" Xu Xian'an asked.

Gu Chenyu looked distressed and said helplessly, "I just recruited a disciple, and that old guy wanted to snatch him from me. Fortunately, you, the city lord, came in time, otherwise I might have been killed."

Xu Xian'an glanced at Lu Yuan and naturally saw that the young man was missing his soul. He reminded him, "That old man might want to capture this young man and take over his body. His body was originally taken from someone else."

Gu Chenyu looked unhappy. He was definitely being targeted and it would be difficult for him to leave the city.

"Don't worry, I can keep you safe in Baidi City. Although it's not a city for cultivating immortals, there is a teleportation array. You can leave from there when the time comes."

"Thank you City Lord."

Gu Chenyu bowed, Xu Xian'an looked at Gu Chenyu deeply, and then left in an instant.

Guixiu, also known as ghost cultivators, are cultivators whose spirits do not die after death. Instead, they can choose to take over a new body to cultivate again, or directly absorb flesh and blood to cultivate their spirits, so as to live forever in the world.

People who are reborn by taking over another's body are called strange cultivators, and those who cultivate the spirit and soul directly are called ghost cultivators. The cultivation methods of the two are actually similar, and the powerful ones are the ones with the power of the spirit and soul.

Even after his death, he still had the strength of a celestial being, causing heaven and earth to change color. I can't imagine how powerful he was when he was alive.

Feeling the Soul-Destroying Needle in his body, he realized that it was only powerful enough to kill the Venerable at the moment. If he suddenly wanted to kill the Celestial Being, Gu Chenyu would have to unlock the second layer of the seal, and the danger would double.

Gu Chenyu was naturally unwilling to take any risk, and continued to recruit disciples with a depressed look on his face. Many large families even closed their doors to him. In the end, he accepted ten ordinary disciples with basically double spiritual roots and prepared to go back to report.

That night, Gu Chenyu came to the teleportation array and spent several high-quality spirit stones. Gu Chenyu and ten disciples appeared directly in Qingming City. Fortunately, they were safe along the way. The strange cultivator did not catch up and hurried back to Qingming Sect. Gu Chenyu reported to the deacon's office with these disciples, then ran back to his small room and dared not go out.

"Damn it, it's too dangerous. This world is not as safe as I thought. All the evil cultivators have come out. Fortunately, my cultivation is average, so no one is willing to take over my body."

Gu Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief, and the immortal in her body couldn't help but roll her eyes. She could hear a lot of Gu Chenyu's inner voice, and she really didn't want to be nice to this guy who was sometimes afraid of death, and sometimes stingy and timid.

Taking out the spirit-testing stone, Gu Chenyu injected spiritual power into it. Sure enough, the spirit-testing stone still emitted colorful light, which was a sign of mixed spiritual roots.

However, it is worth mentioning that the light from the spirit stone is much brighter than those of the miscellaneous spirit roots.

Could it be that I am also a genius?

Gu Chenyu couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, maybe he had the legendary five elements constitution, so he seemed particularly powerful, and each of his spiritual roots was equivalent to other people's natural spiritual roots.

"My five elements spiritual roots are bullshit. You just have pure mixed spiritual roots. You can cultivate anything and it's average to cultivate anything. It will even be difficult for you to be promoted to the monarch realm in the future." Xian couldn't help but complain. Gu Chenyu is not only stingy, but also narcissistic.

"Tell me if the Soul-Destroying Needle can kill you." Gu Chenyu said with a smile, a hint of threat in his tone.

"Come on, stab me to death, let's see who dies first, you or me." Xian said fearlessly. She had already run to Gu Chenyu's sea of consciousness. If anyone wanted to kill her, he would have to kill himself first.

"You are so cruel." Gu Chenyu said helplessly. He has not yet cultivated his primordial spirit, and his sea of consciousness is not strong at all, which allows immortals to find a loophole and sneak in at any time.

"Want the method to cultivate the primordial spirit? Beg me, and I will teach you." Xian said proudly.

"Senior, please teach me." Gu Chenyu immediately knelt down and even wanted to kowtow a few times.

"No? Where is your backbone?" Xian said in disbelief, but then he was relieved. This guy was as thick-skinned as ever.

"Senior, I beg you, please teach me quickly."

.........

Xian reluctantly said: “In the Xianwu Spiritual World, some geniuses will cultivate to a realm before forming a pill, which is called Kaiyuan.”

Gu Chenyu's eyes showed curiosity. Kaiyuan? What is that?

"As the name suggests, Kaiyuan is a step in cultivating the soul and opening up the primordial spirit. The cultivators in the Zhenwu plane choose Kaiyuan after they have formed the elixir, and then they cultivate the golden elixir. Kaiyuan requires a certain level of cultivation. If your three yuans are combined into one, you can do it. It's a pity that you haven't reached that strength yet." The immortal said with some regret.

"Senior, you promised to teach me." Gu Chenyu reminded.

Xian's face froze, and then he handed the cultivation formula to Gu Chenyu. This guy really knows how to take advantage of loopholes.

After getting the complete mantra, Gu Chenyu couldn't wait to practice. The soul power in his sea of consciousness began to gather and then condense. Gu Chenyu practiced until dawn. He slowly opened his eyes. It was not that he had cultivated his primordial spirit, but that it was really dawn and he had to go to work again.

Kaiyuan was just cultivating his soul power in advance so that he could have a stronger perception. Gu Chenyu naturally wanted to practice the skills in advance after obtaining them, so he applied for seclusion from Zhao Cheng and successfully got a vacation on the grounds that he was about to break through the Grandmaster realm.

In a cave on Wanqiu Peak, Gu Chenyu began to practice the method of forging souls. There were many similar methods in Qingming Sect, but they were too expensive. Gu Chenyu would rather practice the basic skills given by the immortals. The spirit stones given by Gu Qingxue were not many, so they had to be spent wisely.

The power of his soul was constantly being condensed, and Gu Chenyu felt that he had reached a wonderful realm. He seemed to be able to leave his body and see his own body, and he could also sense the subtle changes in the cave.

"It's really strange, how can he practice so quickly? Didn't I give him the basic skills?" Xian was very confused. She didn't give him any advanced skills. Gu Chenyu had only been in contact with it for a while and he had already practiced the Dao Ganwo chapter. The rest of the Wai Gan chapter and Kaiyuan chapter were just a matter of time.

Time flies, and a month passed in a flash. Gu Chenyu went into seclusion for a month without eating or drinking, and he finally reached the Kaiyuan realm.

In her sea of consciousness, Gu Chenyu saw the dark ghost figure in her body again. She still couldn't see her face, but she could feel her presence.

"Go away, don't come to your sea of consciousness unless necessary."

The immortal drove Gu Chenyu out, and she ran to Gu Chenyu's dantian in frustration to absorb some of his essence. The extra would be a waste anyway, so Gu Chenyu did not stop her and let her absorb his essence.

Closing his eyes, Gu Chenyu seemed to see many subtle changes in things, as if he was experiencing them personally. With his eyes closed, he could see water drops leaking on the ground, spiders spinning silk in the corners, and himself sitting cross-legged.

With a thought, he can control the stone to float in the air without using any spiritual power, and can reach the level of controlling objects.

Kaiyuan Realm is so simple.

"This is originally a transitional state. The stronger the soul power, the faster you can cultivate the soul. You have reached the Kaiyuan realm."
