I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

He felt the icy sword intent, pure to the extreme, that surpassed even the Golden Core stage, and his whole being felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The female cultivator he had been toying with like a plaything was actually a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator who had kept her abilities hidden.

Moreover, judging from this terrifying pressure, it is definitely a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator who is decisive and ruthless.

"Senior, spare me! Senior, spare me! I was blind and ignorant, I offended your divine might, please just let me go!"

Hua Yunfei slammed his head against the hard ice with a series of thuds.

His forehead was smashed so hard it was a bloody mess, and the blood that had just flowed out was frozen into red ice crystals.

"Let you go?"

Mo Qianyan looked down at him as if he were a disgusting filth.

"The way you looked at me just now disgusted me."

Mo Qianyan gently waved her jade-like hand.

"laugh!"

A chilling sword aura, barely perceptible to the naked eye, instantly pierced into Hua Yunfei's dantian.

"Aaaaaaah!"

Hua Yunfei let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered. He was horrified to discover that his golden core had been instantly frozen by that icy aura, and then with a "crack," it shattered into dust.

Not only that, the icy divine energy flowed backward along his meridians, directly freezing a certain meridian in his lower body, severing all his life force.

Strip them of their cultivation and sever their physical roots.

From this day forward, the once arrogant Second Young Master Hua of Yunxian City has become a completely useless eunuch, incapable of having sex.

"This...this..."

Gu Yun felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at Hua Yunfei, who was writhing on the ground in pain.

Mo Qianyan gave Gu Yun a meaningful look, withdrew her Nascent Soul aura, and returned to her aloof and peerless demeanor before turning and walking back into the inner room.

"Don't dirty the clinic's facade, throw him out."

Gu Yun was taken aback, not knowing whether to laugh or cry; this was a warning to her.

"Alright!"

Gu Yun grabbed Hua Yunfei by the back of the neck like a dead dog and casually ripped off all three storage rings from his hand.

"Young Master Hua, please settle the medical bills."

Gu Yun chuckled and tossed Hua Yunfei from the gate onto the street like a sandbag.

Gu Yun dusted off his hands, looked at the crowd of onlookers outside with eyes full of awe, and shouted loudly.

"Qianyun Medical Clinic specializes in treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases, infertility, and even incurable conditions like loss of sexual control! Fair prices, honest and reliable! Anyone else need a treatment? Hurry up and get in line!"

Inside the room, a helpless sigh came from Mo Qianyan.

Hua Yunfei was thrown out onto the street like a dead dog, and the entire eastern district of Yunxian City instantly erupted in uproar.

The second young master of the prestigious Hua family is usually domineering and arrogant.

Now, in an obscure little clinic, his cultivation has been destroyed, and even his manhood has been completely severed.

The onlookers, mostly unaffiliated cultivators, scattered in terror.

Everyone knows that the hot-tempered Nascent Soul cultivator from the Hua family will definitely not let this go.

The owner of Qianyun Medical Clinic probably won't live past tonight.

However, inside the clinic.

Gu Yun was leisurely sweeping the wood chips on the ground with a broom, humming an unknown tune.

"You certainly have plenty of free time."

Mo Qianyan walked out of the inner room, looking at the mess on the floor, a hint of helplessness flashed in her cold eyes.

I originally only wanted to live in anonymity in Yunxian City.

Who would have thought that even though she suppressed her cultivation, her appearance would still attract such reckless and lewd men.

"Madam is as beautiful as an angel; no wonder others are after her. But I'll just throw them away as they come, consider it free advertising for the clinic."

Gu Yun grinned, casually tossed the broom aside, and rapidly flicked his fingers through the air.

"Buzz!"

As Gu Yun traced the outline with his fingers, faint, almost invisible, spiritual light from the array appeared.

It is hidden beneath the walls, beams, and floor tiles of the clinic.

He wasn't cleaning; he was subtly integrating the formation base into this unassuming shop.

Gu Yun clapped his hands.

Before long, the sky above the eastern district of Yunxian City suddenly darkened without warning.

"Boom!"

An overwhelming, terrifying pressure, carrying with it a raging inferno, descended upon the Thousand Clouds Medical Clinic.

"Who is it? Who dares to cripple my great-grandson!"

A roar that shattered the clouds resounded across the sky.

The bluestone slabs on the street shattered inch by inch, and the shop signs around were pulverized by the sound waves.

Those rogue cultivators who hadn't had time to run far were all forced to their knees by this terrifying spiritual pressure, coughing up blood.

The Hua family patriarch, Hua Tianhai, has arrived.

He wore a gray robe, his face was sinister, and his eyes were spitting out fury that seemed to solidify into a tangible form.

It hovered above the clinic like a god of death.

He looked down at the dilapidated clinic below, a cruel glint in his eyes.

"How dare you, a mere ant in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, harm a member of my Hua family! Today, I will extract your soul and temper it in the Netherworld Fire for a hundred years."

Hua Tianhai didn't waste any words.

His figure transformed into a streak of gray lightning, smashing open the newly installed wooden door of the clinic and strode aggressively into the outer hall.

In his view, his step would not only reduce the clinic to dust, but also turn the clueless quack inside into a pile of minced meat.

However, just as Hua Tianhai stepped one foot into the threshold of the clinic...

"Buzz!"

A thin, pale gold film shimmered slightly on the door frame.

Outside the door, the wandering cultivators who had been watching the commotion covered their ears in fear, waiting for the loud explosion that would follow the clinic.

But, one breath, two breaths, three breaths passed...

The wooden door of Qianyun Medical Clinic creaked shut as a gentle breeze closed it.

A wooden sign hanging outside the door reads "Clinical consultation in progress, please do not disturb," swaying gently in the wind.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no rampaging spiritual light from a Nascent Soul cultivator, and not even the sound of tables and chairs collapsing could be heard.

The entire clinic seemed completely isolated from the bustling Yunxian City, eerily quiet.

"What... what's going on?"

The rogue cultivators outside the door looked at each other in disbelief, their faces showing expressions of utter disbelief.

How come a dignified Nascent Soul Ancestor stormed in and didn't even make a splash?

Meanwhile, inside the clinic.

The moment Hua Tianhai stepped through the gate, he felt as if he had stepped into a bottomless abyss.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

The original outer hall, which was only a few dozen square meters, was now stretched out without limit, turning into a hazy, chaotic space.

"A spatial folding formation? And a fourth-order ultimate formation at that!"

The cruelty on Hua Tianhai's face froze instantly, and his pupils contracted sharply.

He was horrified to discover that his once-proud mid-stage Nascent Soul divine sense had been destroyed.

Here, you can't even stick your head out more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

Even more terrifying was the invisible force of confinement that permeated this space, suppressing his Nascent Soul power by a full thirty percent.

"Old dog, don't you know how to knock before you come in?"

From the depths of the chaotic space, a lazy voice echoed.

Gu Yun was still wearing that blue cloth robe, sitting steadily in a grand chair, holding a cup of hot tea and blowing on the tea leaves.

"Who...who exactly are you?"

Hua Tianhai stared intently at Gu Yun.

He couldn't understand how a quack doctor with only early Foundation Establishment stage mana fluctuations could set up a grand formation that even made him, a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, feel uneasy.

"Me? I'm just a doctor."

Gu Yun took a sip of tea, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"However, I'm not the one treating you today."

As soon as Gu Yun finished speaking, the chaotic mist behind him slowly dissipated.

Dressed in pristine white, holding a snow-white jade sword yet to be drawn, Mo Qianyan emerged slowly, resembling an ice and snow deity descended from the heavens.

"Early Nascent Soul stage?"

Hua Tianhai's expression finally changed when he sensed the terrifying sword intent emanating from Mo Qianyan, which she was no longer concealing.

He finally realized that his great-grandson had not provoked any lamb to the slaughter, but a shrew who was hiding her true nature.

"Hmph! No wonder they dare to be so arrogant; it turns out they have a Nascent Soul stage cultivator as a partner backing them up!"

Although Hua Tianhai was shocked by the mystery of the formation, he was, after all, a powerful figure in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm with profound knowledge and experience.

After a brief moment of panic, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes once more.

"No matter how strong the formation is, it depends on who's controlling it! Does a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator really think he can cross the gap in cultivation levels and turn the world upside down?"

"boom!"

Hua Tianhai stopped talking nonsense and suddenly formed a hand seal. A blue-faced, fanged Dharma image, ten feet tall, rose from the ground behind him.

With overwhelming and terrifying pressure, it slammed down fiercely towards Mo Qianyan.

Faced with this terrifying blow that could destroy almost half of Yunxian City.

Mo Qianyan's cold and aloof face remained completely expressionless.

She didn't even look at the giant hand that slammed down; she simply flicked her wrist slightly.

"Clang!"

The Snow Jade Sword was drawn.

"The highest state is to forget emotions."

The four words, "utterly aloof and unparalleled," echoed within the vast, empty array space.

The thirteen blood-red beads around Mo Qianyan's neck flashed slightly, perfectly merging with the ultimate killing sword intent of the Supreme Forgetfulness.

A sword strike was unleashed.

There was no earth-shattering explosion of spiritual energy, only a thin, white sword line, as fine as a hair and seemingly capable of freezing time, lightly slicing across the ten-zhang-tall blue-faced dharma image.

"Click..."

Before Hua Tianhai's horrified eyes, his prized Nascent Soul Dharma Image, starting from his fingertips, was instantly covered by a layer of dark blue ice, and then...

With a "bang," it shattered into countless ice crystals in mid-air, like a fragile ice sculpture.

"How is this possible? What kind of swordsmanship is this? I've never seen it before."

Hua Tianhai coughed up a mouthful of blood.

When his natal Dharma image was severed, he suffered a terrifying backlash, staggering back several steps with incomprehensible fear in his eyes.

A Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage actually killed his full-force attack from a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator with a single sword strike.

"Dead people don't need to know that much."

Mo Qianyan appeared in front of Hua Tianhai as if she had teleported.

The Snow Jade Sword, gleaming with a chilling light, pierced Hua Tianhai's dantian without mercy.

"No!"

Hua Tianhai let out a desperate scream.

His nascent soul was trying to escape from his dantian, but it was instantly frozen inside his body by that terrifying, extremely cold sword intent, and he couldn't even self-destruct.

"Gu Yun!"

Mo Qianyan shouted.

"Well done, Madam, you're quite skilled!"

Sitting in the armchair, Gu Yun grinned, his eyes instantly turning bloodthirsty crimson.

The blood-red butterfly mark between his eyebrows burst forth with a dazzling demonic light, and the thirteen Dao foundations within his Purple Mansion began to operate with a roar.

"swallow!"

Gu Yun raised his hand and grabbed at the air. A terrifying suction force, like a black hole, followed the patterns of the array and directly acted on Hua Tianhai's frozen nascent soul.

"Ahhhhh!"

A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, who hadn't even glanced at the outside world, had his life's cultivation essence, blood, and soul drained within this isolated array space.

"Clatter".

Hua Tianhai turned into a withered skeleton, fell to the ground, and turned into ashes.

Gu Yun let out a long sigh of relief, feeling the thirteen Dao Foundations within his dantian becoming increasingly brilliant and solid under the nourishment of the immense energy of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, even showing faint signs of breaking through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

At the same time, he thought to himself that these fourteen basic dishes were a bit too much to ask for.

A Nascent Soul cultivator swallowed it, but there wasn't much change.

At the same time, deep within Gu Yun's sea of ​​consciousness, dark golden Heavenly Dao seal characters emerged.

[Slaying a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator despite being of a higher level!]

[Life deprivation in effect: Deprive the deceased of one percent of their remaining lifespan!]

[Lifespan bonus: Nine years!]

[The subject's current total lifespan: 132 years and 6 months.]

"Only nine years?"

Gu Yun looked at the numbers flashing on the panel, clicked his tongue, and muttered with slight dissatisfaction.

"The Nascent Soul stage monster is quite long-lived, but unfortunately, this old thing is too old. He doesn't have enough life left. If you take even one percent of it, it won't even be enough to fill a tooth gap."

Hearing Gu Yun's mutterings, Mo Qianyan, who was sheathing her sword, rolled her eyes at him.

"The Hua family patriarch died mysteriously in our clinic. Although the formation has isolated the commotion, once the Hua family's life tablet is shattered, it will soon cause a huge uproar in Yunxian City."

Mo Qianyan walked to Gu Yun's side, glanced at the ashes on the ground, and a hint of solemnity appeared in her cold eyes.

"Should we stay here, or go somewhere else?"

Gu Yun casually tucked Hua Tianhai's storage ring into his sleeve, stood up, and stretched.

He removed the layers of illusion arrays inside the clinic, and sunlight once again streamed in through the windows.

Outside the door, the rogue cultivators on the street were still peeking around, unaware that just moments before, in the silent span of half an incense stick's time, a Nascent Soul expert from Cloud Immortal City had completely vanished from this world.

"Leave? Why leave?"

Gu Yun sat back down behind the medical desk, picked up her teacup, and a harmless smile appeared on her lips.

"Hua Tianhai walked in on his own. Who saw him die here? Our Qianyun Medical Clinic is open for business, treating the sick and saving lives, and we abide by the law."

Gu Yun shouted towards the door, his hoarse voice revealing a local air.

"Next patient, come in! I'm in a good mood today, so I'm giving you a 20% discount!"

Hua Tianhai's death did not cause a fuss at Qianyun Medical Clinic.

But in Yunxian City, it was tantamount to a magnitude 10 earthquake.

A powerful cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm stormed into a dilapidated medical clinic, and then... nothing happened.

Less than half an hour later, shocking news spread from the Hua family, one of the three great families of Yunxian City.

The ancestor's natal spirit tablet shattered into dust.

The current head of the Hua family was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

What level of terrifying existence could make a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator evaporate instantly without even being able to send out a distress signal?

Nascent Soul Great Perfection?

Even a Nascent Soul stage monster?

revenge?

Even if the Hua family had a thousand times the courage, they wouldn't dare.

That very night, the head of the Hua family personally led several carts loaded with top-quality rare and precious herbs.

He knelt outside the tightly closed wooden door of Qianyun Medical Clinic like a grandson.

After kowtowing three times and leaving behind an apology gift, he announced overnight that the Hua family would be sealed off for a hundred years, and no member of the family was allowed to step out of the mansion.

This caused a complete uproar in the entire Yunxian City.

Qianyun Medical Clinic was transformed overnight from an obscure, remote shop into an absolute holy site in Yunxian City.

With the example of the Hua family patriarch who sacrificed his life to serve as a warning, no foolish young master dared to make a scene within a ten-mile radius of the clinic, let alone cause trouble.

Everyone who passes through this alley wishes they could walk on tiptoe.

And Gu Yun finally got the life he had always dreamed of.

……

Three months later.

Early in the morning, the doors of Qianyun Medical Clinic had just opened.

A long line had already formed outside the door.

The group included many sect elders and family heads at the Golden Core stage.

But at this moment, these usually high-ranking figures were all queuing up properly, and not a single one of them cut in line.

"Next."

Gu Yun sat behind his medical desk, yawned, and casually opened a medical book.

A boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, supported by an elder, stepped forward. His face was dark and he was barely breathing.

"Dr. Gu, please save my grandson! He accidentally ingested the symbiotic poisonous herb of the fifth-tier demonic beast, the Crimson Flame Serpent. His heart meridian has been mostly destroyed by the fire poison, and even the alchemy masters of Yunxian City say he won't live past tonight..."

The accompanying Golden Core elder, his eyes red-rimmed, knelt directly on the ground.

Gu Yun glanced at the boy.

"Is the fire poison affecting the heart?"

He didn't even take his pulse, he just raised his right hand.

"go."

With a flick of his finger, nine ice needles pierced precisely into nine acupoints on the boy's chest.

As the ice needles pierced his body, the overwhelmingly cold energy of the "Ice God Technique" instantly froze and enveloped the rampant fire poison within the boy's body. Immediately afterward, Gu Yun's divine sense stirred, and the ice needles transformed into ice water, forcing out the wisps of dark red poisonous blood from the boy's body through his pores.

It took no more than ten breaths in total.

The boy coughed up a mouthful of poisonous blood.

His originally dark complexion visibly regained its rosy hue, and even the burned meridians were revitalized under the stimulation of the extreme cold.

"This...that's it?"

The old man, who had reached the Golden Core stage, stared in disbelief at his grandson, whose breathing was steady. He was so excited that he trembled all over and quickly offered him a storage bag.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Gu! Thank you so much, Dr. Gu, for saving my life!"

Gu Yun casually tossed the storage bag into his sleeve and waved his hand.

"Go back and rest for three days, next one."

Just as the grandfather and grandson left the clinic with deep gratitude.

Within Gu Yun's Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness, the blood-red butterfly mark suddenly flashed with dazzling golden light.

[Subject: Gu Yun]

[Turning the tide of battle and healing a near-death prodigy.]

[Bestowed a lifespan of four years!]

Current total lifespan: 136 years and 6 months.

"Brilliant!"

Gu Yun was overjoyed.

Over the past few months, he has thoroughly figured out the rules of how the Book of Destiny can save people and extend their lifespan.

Killing those old monsters who are halfway to the grave is pointless; they don't have many years left to live anyway, and taking one percent of their lifespan is a pitiful amount.
