Primordial Qi

At the foot of Wanqiu Peak, Gu Chenyu couldn't help complaining as he looked at the endless stream of disciples. There were only more than 2,000 female disciples at Wanqiu Peak, and there were hundreds of them going up and down the mountain every day. Normally, a cultivator would be in seclusion and breathe for several days, but why were they walking around all the time?

Gu Chenyu encountered this strange phenomenon on his first day in office. It seemed that these disciples were negligent in their cultivation on weekdays and ran down the mountain when they had nothing to do.

These are just girls around fourteen or fifteen or sixteen years old. It is normal for them to be a little playful. Gu Chenyu no longer has any position at this time and is just an ordinary disciple. When Gu Chenyu found out that these disciples were all in the Gathering Spirit Realm, his face changed. When did Wanqiu Peak have so many Gathering Spirit disciples?

The disciples of Qingming Sect are divided into direct disciples, core disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples. Most of the outer disciples are cultivators who have not reached the Juling Realm, while the inner disciples are cultivators who have already formed a golden elixir. Core disciples, except for those with extraordinary talents who are recruited in advance, are basically those who have already reached the golden elixir stage and have the opportunity to impact the heavenly realm in the future.

The sect was newly established, and there shouldn't be so many cultivators in the Gathering Spirit Realm on Wanqiu Peak with more than 2,000 people. But the hundreds of people coming in and out are all in the Gathering Spirit Realm. Something is wrong, very wrong.

After some inquiries, Gu Chenyu learned that a martial arts competition was about to begin. These female disciples were also doing their best to prepare for the first martial arts competition. The rewards given out in this competition were rich. The first one was five bottles of Crystal Sea Pills, which were of great effect to the Gathering Spirit Realm and could help the Spirit Sea crystallize as soon as possible. In addition, there was also a fifth-level magic weapon, which corresponded to the magic weapon of the Venerable Realm.

The rewards for other places are also very generous, but at present, there are at least 10,000 disciples in the Gathering Spirit Realm who will participate in this competition.

Gu Chenyu shook his head. There was no need for him to participate in this kind of thing. He might as well close his eyes and practice well. All a gatekeeper at Wan Qiu Peak needed to do was to guard the gate. It would be better to let these disciples to win face for Wan Qiu Peak.

"I have nothing to do, so I take out the boxing manual to practice."

Practicing boxing during the day and practicing qigong at night, life day after day is more than boring. Looking at the fake pill in his body that has no movement, Gu Chenyu naturally lost motivation.

In the sea of consciousness, there was a black soul body sleeping in the golden ocean. This guy had absorbed a lot of soul power refined by Gu Chenyu, and now he was full and fell asleep.

Taking a look at the ghost fog, Gu Chenyu's soul was also sitting cross-legged. The vast soul power around him was constantly being drawn, and finally condensing bit by bit.

The virtual state refers to the soul being temporarily out of the body, which makes the soul body appear illusory in the outside world, instead of the appearance in the sea of consciousness. After the transformation, the soul body in the sea of consciousness is basically the same as oneself. Thinking of what Gu Qingxue said some time ago that the soul simulation method can achieve twice the result with half the effort, Gu Chenyu also tried to practice boxing in the sea of consciousness.

It's a waste if the appearance is similar but the spirit is not.

Gu Chenyu sighed in his heart and fell into deep thought as he looked at this incredibly expensive martial arts technique. With one month's worth of spirit stones, he could only borrow it for one month.

Injecting a trace of soul power into the jade slip, Gu Chenyu was surprised to discover the secret contained therein.

There actually was a picture of the soul inside. No wonder it was for the cultivation of the Venerable Realm. Gu Chenyu was overjoyed and quickly sent his soul out of his body and ran into the jade slip.

Following the figure in the jade slip and practicing together, he achieved the unity of body and spirit without realizing it, and actually reached the level of Huayu Chapter.

The first four chapters are all about the skills of form, intention, momentum and mind. The means of attack will depend on the later parts, such as stone bouncing and wave clearing.

Feeling his body was filled with strength, Gu Chenyu withdrew from the jade slip in the blink of an eye. His eyes were shining, and it seemed that his soul had improved a lot every time he left his body, so he could stay outside for a long enough time.

There is a reason why it is expensive. Gu Chenyu took out this technique. In one month, just one month, he would memorize this technique and practice it to the initial stage.

"Three days have passed in the blink of an eye. Sigh." Gu Chenyu felt complicated as he held the jade slip.

Ever since I started practicing, time has really flowed like water. A few days pass by in the blink of an eye.

As his strength grew stronger, Gu Chenyu thought it would be a good idea to find a beast fire. Coming from the Lingmu Sect, it would be somewhat embarrassing if he couldn't make pills.

The main reason was that he also felt a little itchy in his heart. He had finally cultivated to the Spirit Gathering Realm, and it would be a shame not to continue practicing.

The main peak undoubtedly has the most things. Gu Chenyu came to the alchemy hall, which not only sells elixirs, but also elixirs, beast fire, or spiritual fire of heaven and earth. These are extremely precious and cannot be bought outside.

"The beast fire of the Purple Crystal Fire Lion King can not only be used to refine pills, but also to kill enemies. It is extremely cost-effective and only costs three hundred high-grade spirit stones."

"Six Meridians Absolute Earth Fire, this is the spiritual fire of heaven and earth plucked from the center of the earth, and it is sold for ten top-grade wood spirit stones."

"A red flame lion at the Heavenly Man Realm. This fire is taken from the life fire at its tail. The price is five thousand high-grade spirit stones."

Gu Chenyu felt a little dizzy looking at these various beast fires. All the things given by the salesman were things Gu Chenyu could not afford.

It is difficult for sect disciples to earn income other than rewards, monthly salary, and bounty missions. If they sell at such a high price, it is impossible for ordinary disciples to consume them.

Holding his forehead and sighing, Gu Chenyu had no choice but to ask if there were any other flames.

The deacon's face froze, and he said in a bad tone: "You kid, why didn't you buy it secretly and come to my side hall?"

After being unceremoniously kicked out, Gu Chenyu touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed. He had thought that the rooms in the side hall would be much cheaper, but they turned out to be surprisingly expensive.

"Boy, have you been in seclusion for a long time?" said a middle-aged deacon.

Gu Chenyu said embarrassedly: "I have been in seclusion since I joined the sect, so I really don't understand much."

"Now that the sect has changed the rules, spirit stones are no longer the main currency for transactions." said the middle-aged man.

"Now, we use the sect's contribution points. The things sold in the side hall are all purchased with spirit stones. They are too expensive. Let's go to the main hall and have a look. Come, let me tell you about the contribution points..."

Gu Chenyu listened with great interest and clasped his fists to express his gratitude after listening.

A month ago, the sect cancelled the practice of purchasing resources with spirit stones. Except for some places where purchases could still continue, all other purchases had to be made with sect contribution points.

The method of obtaining sect contribution points is the same as before, and they are distributed through the sect.

Points are divided into orange, blue, and cyan, all in a one-to-one-hundred point system. For example, one hundred low-grade spirit stones correspond to one hundred cyan points, and when the total reaches one hundred, it becomes one blue point.

Gu Chenyu just felt his scalp tingling. The bounty of spirit stones would be pitifully small in the future. The most important thing in the future would be the contribution value to the sect.

"Spirit stones are not only a trading currency, but also a cultivation resource. It is too troublesome to exchange them with spirit stones all the time. Changing to contribution value has many effects. For example, it enhances the sense of belonging to the sect and facilitates the transaction process. The sect token can be settled with a touch."

Gu Chenyu took out his disciple token, and he didn't know when twelve hundred blue points appeared in it. Looking back, it turned out that there was a foreshadowing. The amount given by the sect was really too much. It was like double salary.

They came to the main hall of the Medicine Refining Hall in high spirits. All the items sold here were flames, beast fires, spiritual fires, and even the fire used by the grand masters of medicine refining. They were all rare and good things.

After some selection, Gu Chenyu also understood the levels of these flames. For example, the power of beast fire was not only related to the strength of the monster, but also to his knowledge of alchemy. Therefore, the selling prices were varied, which made Gu Chenyu dizzy.

The spiritual fire of heaven and earth is not ordinary. It is a wonderful fire born from heaven and earth. There are three levels of heavenly fire, earthly fire and spiritual fire. The cheapest spiritual fire costs more than a thousand blue contribution points.

Gu Chenyu just felt dizzy. It was so difficult to refine the elixir. Not only did he need flames and an elixir furnace, but he also had to learn fire control techniques, spirit refining methods, and elixir recipes.

Under the persuasion of the professional salesperson, Gu Chenyu bought a spiritual fire called Qianhai Earth Core Flame. Well, the sub-fire of Qianhai Earth Core Flame...

A sub-fire of the earth fire is also good, and it may become the earth fire in the future.

Gu Chenyu was tricked into spending one thousand blue contribution points to buy this spiritual fire, and then spent two hundred blue contribution points to buy an alchemy furnace, and spent a lot of spirit stones to buy low-level materials and alchemy recipes, preparing to start with refining low-level pills.

Looking at the sub-fire appearing in the palm of his hand, Gu Chenyu's face looked grim. If this thing was promoted to earth fire, it would drain him out. It had no possibility of promotion at all. Gu Chenyu realized that he was fooled and his face changed. If he didn't refine it, he would not know that this thing had no possibility of promotion. If he refined it, he would not even have the chance to return it.

"Swindler, swindler."

Gu Chenyu felt like crying but had no tears. He must deal with these unscrupulous businessmen properly and study hard. He couldn't let himself be ripped off like this.
