Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Gu Chi put the two books into his arms, bowed and said, "Thank you."

The director of the exchange bureau curled his lips, took out a small white medicine bottle from his sleeve, and threw it to her with shaking hands.

Gu Chi reached out to catch it and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"Girls should be fair and clean. What's the big deal about having injuries? Take this three times a day, and you'll be healed in two days without leaving any scars."

Gu Chi sniffed and said, "Brother, you are so kind to me, could it be that you... are my long-lost father?!"

The exchange manager glared at her with a gloomy expression and dismissed her with a wave of his hand: "Pah! Pah! Pah! What nonsense! Get your things and get out of here!"

Gu Chi bowed, smiled brightly, and said, "I'm so grateful for your kindness. If you're old and have no one to see you off, Lao Hei and I will definitely come back to help you with your funeral. We promise it will be a grand affair for you!"

After saying that, she kicked the big black dog's butt, and the latter nodded and woofed.

"Get lost!" The director of the exchange bureau's face turned black. Who would repay a favor by arranging someone's funeral?

After coming out of the exchange office, the man and the dog immediately returned to the spiritual medicine garden. The big black dog carefully arranged more than a dozen mechanical formations at the entrance to prevent outsiders from sneaking in.

They came to the sacred tree and took out the foundation-building pill recipe to examine it carefully.

"Main ingredients: three stalks of Xuanbing Flower; auxiliary ingredients: one Tianling Fruit, two stalks of Huanxin Grass; medicinal guide: one stalk of Qingling Grass..."

Gu Chi read out every word, and the big black dog pricked up his ears and listened carefully. He found that among the several medicinal materials mentioned in the recipe, there was only one auxiliary medicine in their medicine garden, the Tianling Fruit.

"It seems that the sect is still very cautious, worried that the person in charge of the spiritual medicine garden will steal, so they planted the other medicinal herbs separately and elsewhere."

Gu Chi whispered, looked at the big black dog, and said solemnly: "There are still two months before the Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm opens. Do you have confidence?"

She wasn't joking when she said she wanted to go to the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain. She really planned to do so. Instead of waiting for the impossible Foundation Establishment Pill, she might as well go and get it herself.

"Just do it!" The big black dog was not afraid at all.

"There are still two months left. It's probably impossible to reach the eighth level of Qi training in such a short time."

Gu Chi pulled out two yellowed books from his arms and said, "We must take advantage of this time to cultivate these two magical skills as quickly as possible. With the blessing of the [Strength] attribute, we can fight even a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi training. If we add magical skills, as long as we don't encounter those talented people from large sects, who can defeat us?"

Gu Chi chuckled, very confident in her fighting ability against the big black dog.

The two magical powers given to them by the director of the exchange bureau, one is called the Great Seal of Mountains and Rivers, and the other is called the Art of Azure Dragon, are both entry-level basic magical powers. It should not be too difficult to practice them.

"Time waits for no one, Lao Hei, let's practice one each. Do you want to practice the Great Seal of Mountains and Rivers or the Art of Azure Dragon first?" Gu Chi looked over.

The big black dog thought that both magical powers were very good, but if it had to choose first, it would still choose the Canglong Jue, whose name sounded more domineering.

"Okay, then you practice the Azure Dragon Art first, and I'll practice the Mountain and River Seal. Let's see who can achieve results first in two months."

In the following days, the man and the dog began to take the Qigong pills and devoted themselves to the practice.

During this period, they would take time out every day to go outside the Spiritual Medicine Garden to inquire about the news about the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain.

Two months later, in an open space in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, a man and a dog stood facing each other more than fifty meters apart, with solemn expressions and in combat postures.

The auras emitted by Gu Chi and the big black dog collided and entangled with each other, forming a special field with turbulent airflow.

"Old Black! Are you ready?!"

"Come on, Sister Gu Chi!"

Gu Chi's expression was solemn. He clasped his hands together and in an instant, the magic power in his body began to surge and a heavy aura filled the surrounding area.

With her light shout, five majestic and powerful mountains appeared in the sky, surrounded by four magnificent rivers, giving people a great sense of oppression and shock both visually and psychologically.

This is the Great Seal of Mountains and Rivers, which can condense the power of mountains and rivers for your own use.

"town!"

The Great Seal of Mountains and Rivers rumbled downwards, its mighty force was almost irresistible, and the entire sky was shaking violently.

The big black dog swallowed his saliva, got into a stance, mobilized all his magic power, and used all his strength to perform the Canglong Jue.

"Roar--"

A dragon's roar resounded through the sky, and a black dragon coiled out from the big black dog's body and soared into the sky, baring its fangs and claws to greet the Seal of Mountains and Rivers.

The dragon's roar shook the air, and a huge blue dragon as big as a mountain turned its body, stretched out a huge dragon claw, and with a loud bang, crushed a mountain in the seal of mountains and rivers into slag on the spot, turning it into rain of light.

"So strong?!"

Gu Chi was shocked and quickly made some hand gestures to make the Mountain and River Seal grow even bigger.

"Roar--"

The blue dragon extended its sharp claws again and collided head-on with the pressing seal of mountains and rivers. Both of them quickly faded and disintegrated in the collision, and finally exploded with a "bang". The energy fluctuations that erupted shook Gu Chi and the big black dog away.

"Ouch..." Gu Chi groaned in pain, crawled up from the ground, looked at the big black dog in the distance, and shouted: "Old Black, are you okay?"

The big black dog shook off the dust on his body, ran over with his big tongue hanging out, his eyes full of shock and surprise, and said: "Sister Gu Chi, these two magical powers are so powerful!"

Gu Chi was also extremely surprised. The power of these two magical powers was beyond her expectations. They were simply too strong.

You know, they have only been practicing for two months, and they have barely touched the threshold but they can already exert such amazing power. If they practice to perfection, what will happen?

Thinking of this, Gu Chi felt even more that the exchange bureau director's kindness to her was as heavy as Mount Tai.

"Boom... boom..."

At this moment, a loud bell sound came from outside the secret realm.

Gu Chi's eyes lit up, and he hurried to the thatched hut, shouting, "Old Black, hurry up and pack your equipment! The Beiyin Mountain secret realm must have opened, and the sect is recruiting disciples!"

The resounding bell rang throughout the Heming Sect, reaching every corner. Figures, some riding swords and some controlling magical weapons, hurried to the central square. Everyone had a trace of worry on their face, knowing that the possibility of returning alive from this trip to Beiyin Mountain was almost slim.

Gu Chi and the big black dog also sneaked over and stood at the back of the crowd.

Gu Chi's entire face was dirty and covered with ash. His pair of clear and lively eyes rolled around, and when he opened his mouth, he revealed a mouthful of teeth as crystal clear as shells, which could blind people's eyes.

Look at the big black dog again. It is standing upright, wearing a bulky black coat and a wide hat covering its entire head. If you don’t look closely, you would just think it is a young boy who has not grown up yet.
