I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 603: Hanging Out with Young Master Gu

Cheng Lou's head fell to the ground and rolled several times.

To kill such a cultivator, losing the life force of his physical body wouldn't be enough, but he also severed Cheng Lou's primordial spirit to ensure he was completely dead.

Anyway, there's no reason for this guy not to die.

Who cares whose orders he's obeying!

Like an enemy wielding a sword, the enemy can be killed, and the sword can be broken. Right now, he has only broken one of the Crimson Dragon Immortal's "weapons." There is still someone else who needs to be settled accounts with.

Jian Xuan knew he was no match for the Crimson Dragon Immortal.

He cultivated under Young Master Gu, making great progress and reaping abundant rewards. As a result, Cheng Lou, whose cultivation level was actually the same as his, only needed one move to make Cheng Lou lose like a dead dog.

But that's all.

Xuanxian is the second rank among the three ranks of True Immortals. I am merely a pseudo-immortal, and it is absolutely impossible for me to contend with such an existence.

However, while Jian Xuan might not be able to defeat him, his kind old friend Qin was no problem at all!

He has reached the third stage of the "Three Stages of True Immortals"—the Yuan Immortal stage!

Qin Fen came with him this time precisely to help Jian Xuan resolve this trouble. Although he killed the Crimson Dragon Immortal, there's probably still a so-called "Ancient Fallen Immortal Venerable" behind him...

This rhythm of taking down one only to have an even bigger one appear is truly unsettling, but no matter what, Crimson Dragon Immortal must die!

Not dead.

The Myriad Swords Immortal Sect will never have a peaceful day! "Junior Sister, let me introduce you. This is Qin Fen, who, like me, cultivates in Young Master Gu's Primordial Soul Lamp. He is as close to me as a brother!"

Jian Xuan briefly explained Qin Fen's identity.

Without needing to say much, Jiang Lingyun understood that anyone who could follow Gu Heng must be extraordinary!

She was actually quite surprised, especially when she saw that Jian Xuan had undergone a complete transformation and achieved the Immortal Rank cultivation. The shock in her heart completely overwhelmed her despair.

Jiang Lingyun had considered that Gu Heng's strength was definitely not bad, but she had never been able to figure out exactly how strong he was. In fact, after the appearance of the Little Xuantian Realm, she became even more clueless about it.

Even so, no matter how high she thought about it, she never considered what level Gu Heng was at in the immortal realm...

That mysterious man is truly amazing.

Even Jian Xuan, who followed him, had already become an immortal! Jiang Lingyun knew Jian Xuan's talent very well. In three words, he was not as good as her, but he still became an immortal before her, didn't he?

She was quite willing to attribute the credit to Jian Xuan's tireless efforts, but Jiang Lingyun knew perfectly well what the truth was.

Then.

This Qin Fen is stronger than Jian Xuan, and he seems to have no fear of Chi Long Xuanxian, even showing some contempt!

He's definitely more powerful than the Crimson Dragon Immortal!

"Well, Brother Xuan mentioned you many times when he was cultivating with me. I was surprised by his infatuation. Now that I see it, you two are quite a good match."

Hearing his praise, Jiang Lingyun and Jian Xuan felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, since I'm here, I'll protect this place. That Crimson Dragon Immortal, if he dares to come, he'll die!" he vowed confidently.

Qin Fen suddenly adopted the reliable demeanor of an older brother, even though this wisp of ghost fire, which didn't even resemble a human being, seemed to have nothing to do with the word "reliable."

He looked at Jiang Lingyun, the "junior sister" Jian Xuan had mentioned. She was indeed very resilient and loyal. She would rather destroy her cultivation or even die than waver in her devotion to Jian Xuan. To be honest, he admired her.

He's lived long enough, and what he remembers most vividly is naturally that primordial era when demons and monsters roamed everywhere.

In that era, even humans and immortals could be twisted and corrupted into evil ghosts and demons. He rarely heard of stories like the deep affection between Jian Xuan and Jiang Lingyun, who were like that of senior and junior brothers and sisters.

Seeing it with your own eyes is a real gain.

"Thank you, Brother Qin, for your willingness to protect my sect!"

Jian Xuan bowed respectfully in thanks.

"On another note, we can't ignore Jiang's situation either!"

Qin Fen sized up Jiang Lingyun.

"It's alright, it's just a matter of cultivation level. There are still treasures within the sect that are enough to allow me to start cultivating again..."

Jiang Lingyun is not worried about her cultivation level now, after all, the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect no longer needs her to support it, so it doesn't matter what.

Besides, losing all cultivation isn't really a big problem.

There are countless treasures in the world that can help people cultivate again. She only lost the Dao power within her dantian; her physical body still possesses the strength of a Saint, although her power is certainly not what it used to be.

"Oh! Don't worry, I'll give you something good."

Qin Fen naturally couldn't just watch Jiang Lingyun go down this path, so after some searching, he took out a very ancient jade bottle.

"This pill is called the 'Life-Defying Immortal Pill'..." He rattled off a whole bunch of things, basically saying that this pill was a gift from his former master, the most precious immortal pill he possessed, and so on...

Then he gave it to Jiang Lingyun to eat.

Jiang Lingyun naturally declined, but Qin Fen didn't like being refused. Moreover, if the elixir was useless to him, he might as well give it to someone else.

Therefore, she could no longer refuse. After taking the pill, she immediately went to the depths of the mountain gate to begin her seclusion.

"Brother Qin, aren't you reluctant to give this pill to Junior Sister Jiang like this?"

Jian Xuan asked.

"There's nothing to be reluctant about. Trust me, if I really wanted good pills, I could just ask Young Master Gu for them."

"You have no idea what Young Master Gu is capable of..."

Qin Fen said with a chuckle. However...

There were some things he kept to himself and didn't tell Jian Xuan.

He had followed his former master and had also met a being known as the "Immortal Physician" in the primordial era. He was fortunate enough to witness the physician's alchemy and benefited greatly from it. Qin Fen still remembers that scene very clearly.

What kind of elixir or elixir? The moment the furnace is opened, it's enough to shock any audience member.

However, ever since Qin Fen followed Gu Heng into the Primordial Soul Lamp, he had taken the time to observe it.

On one occasion, by chance.

He then saw Gu Heng casually refining pills using a purple-gold furnace whose material he couldn't discern at all.

and.

Qin Fen recognized most of the medicinal herbs that Gu Heng threw in, but the efficacy of the resulting pills was completely different from the effects of those herbs themselves! After that, Qin Fen had a terrifying idea about Gu Heng's alchemy skills.

"If you think about it, you will succeed!"

of course.

The moment this thought appeared in Qin Fen's mind, he felt a sense of crisis that threatened to break his mind, as if he had come across some "truth" that he should not have come across. If he explored any further, he would die from the madness brought on by the collapse of his reason!

So he dared not think about it anymore.
