Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Breakthrough
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Buzz!"
A sudden violent vibration erupted from the Celestial Mountain Blood Spring, and a domineering Ice Attribute power spread crazily from the bottom of the spring.
The Blood Spring froze into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Judging by this overpowering aura, it has already reached the Middle Stage of Golden Core.
That’s right!
Gu Chenfeng, with the immense and pure energy absorbed from the Blood Spring, successfully broke through to the Middle Stage of Golden Core in just three days.
With the support of the Celestial Emperor’s Blood and Devouring Power, Gu Chenfeng absorbed all the vast pure energy of the Blood Spring in one go.
"Boom!"
Gu Chenfeng broke through the ice, surrounded by wisps of white light, his entire body engulfed in terrible Ice Attribute Spiritual Power. The flowers, plants, trees, and rocks around him were blanketed in a layer of ice at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gu Chenfeng took a deep breath and restrained the terrifying Ice Attribute.
Excitedly, Gu Chenfeng laughed: "Breaking through in three days, the Devouring Power is indeed domineering, worthy of being the power that devours everything."
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Candle Dragon, Yao Xuan, and the five elders suddenly appeared.
"Congratulations, master, on your breakthrough!"
"Congratulations, ancestor, on your breakthrough!"
Candle Dragon and the five elders respectfully congratulated.
Breaking through the Middle Stage of Golden Core in just three days, such terrifying cultivation speed far exceeded their imaginations, leaving them utterly shocked and incredulous.
Gu Chenfeng glanced at Yao Xuan and the five elders, then nodded with a smile: "Not bad, the Soul Power has improved a lot, seems you’ve all succeeded."
Yao Xuan bowed respectfully with a smile: "Thanks to the ancestor’s preparation with the experience of cultivation, we managed to successfully cultivate the Immortal Technique Refining Pill Skill."
Gu Chenfeng softly laughed: "As long as cultivation succeeds, breaking through the Ninth Grade Realm won’t be difficult in the future. It won’t be long before the Medicine God Hall births a Ninth Grade Alchemist."
"Several elders will surely break through the Ninth Grade Realm as well, it’s only a matter of time."
"Thank you, ancestor, for nurturing us!" Yao Xuan and the five elders all bowed and thanked, with immense anticipation in their hearts.
A Ninth Grade Alchemist is an incredibly transcendent existence, and Yao Xuan and the others dream of entering the Ninth Grade Realm.
Now, having successfully cultivated the Immortal Technique Refining Pill Skill, they finally have a chance.
Gu Chenfeng gathered Ice Attribute Power in his palm, and asked proudly with a smile: "How is it? My cultivation progressed fairly quickly, right?"
"Fairly?" Candle Dragon’s eyes widened and said: "Master, are you implying dissatisfaction with the current cultivation speed?"
"Satisfied, indeed." Gu Chenfeng shrugged and said: "If it were faster still, it would be even better."
"Ancestor, this cultivation speed is already heaven-defying." Yao Xuan exclaimed: "If it were any faster, it would be unimaginable! In the Cultivation Realm, no one can break through from the Early to Middle Stage in the Golden Core within three days."
"Even with powerful elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it still wouldn’t be so fast."
Yao Xingchen continued in shock: "Ancestor, your cultivation speed is too terrifying, too fast for us to imagine—such a frightening speed is simply unheard of."
"Ancestor, over the years, many geniuses with Top Grade Spirit Roots and Innate Spirit Roots have emerged in the Cultivation Realm, but none possess the terrifying cultivation speed of the ancestor." Second Elder continued, his voice trembling.
"Ancestor absorbed an entire year’s Blood Spring energy in just three days—such frightening speed." The other elders were equally shocked.
Gu Chenfeng has undergone eight reincarnations, and though each life requires cultivation anew, for him, it’s merely a review.
Gu Chenfeng seeks to return to peak cultivation, and it’s only a matter of time.
Seeing their shocked faces, Gu Chenfeng lightly smiled and said: "This cultivation speed is nothing; you have yet to witness a breakthrough of several realms in one day."
"What? Several realms in one day?" Yao Xuan and others were so shocked their eyes nearly popped out.
"Let’s go, to see how those three youngsters have fared." Gu Chenfeng gently smiled, conjuring Ice Wings and soared into the sky.
Candle Dragon and the five elders vanished simultaneously.
After a while.
Gu Chenfeng flew back, Candle Dragon and the five elders followed in another flash.
Before entering the palace, Gu Chenfeng’s face broke into a smile, sensing a different aura.
Gu Chenfeng smiled contentedly: "Soul Power has improved, seems they all successfully cultivated the Immortal Technique Refining Pill Skill, worthy of the genius alchemists."
Yao Xuan smiled with relief: "These little brats didn’t disappoint the ancestor, they quickly succeeded in cultivating the Immortal Technique."
"Haha, these three small ones’ talents far exceed ours; if we succeeded in cultivation, there’s no doubt they would too." Yao Xingchen grinned widely.
Second Elder laughed happily: "Now that they’ve cultivated the Immortal Technique Refining Pill Skill, I believe within a few years, they will break through the Eighth Grade Realm, surpassing us without question."
Inside the main hall.
Yao Qinghe and the others noticed Gu Chenfeng, Yao Xuan, and the elders, immediately stopping their cultivation to rush out.
The three respectfully bowed and saluted: "Greetings, ancestor! Greetings, Vice Hall Master and elders."
"You three truly didn’t let me down." Gu Chenfeng said happily: "In just three days, your Soul Power has improved significantly; you’re worthy talents of the Medicine God Hall."
"Thank you, ancestor, for nurturing." The three respectfully bowed with clasped fists, filled with gratitude.
Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly and said: "Alright, prepare yourselves, and join me at the Ancient Divine Sect; I’ll wait for you at the teleportation array."
"Yes, ancestor!" The three respectfully responded, then swiftly flew away.
Turning to Yao Xuan and the elders, Gu Chenfeng calmly said: "The Immortal Technique Refining Pill Skill, the treasure of the Medicine God Hall, can only be cultivated by Sixth Grade Alchemists and above."
"Yes, ancestor!" Yao Xuan and the five elders respectfully replied.
Gu Chenfeng continued: "Immediately dispatch the Great Venerable to the Ancient Divine Sect; I fear the Soul-Devouring Sect might act ahead of time, and I have matters to attend in the Imperial City, I won’t return so quickly."
"Understood, ancestor." Yao Xuan respectfully replied, immediately conveying orders to the Great Venerable.
With seriousness, Gu Chenfeng added: "Furthermore, unseal the teleportation array, restore the teleportation to the Imperial City. I’ve partnered with the Su Family to supply them with Sixth Grade Pills that enhance Soul Power."
"Though the Su Family is large and wealthy, their strength is average. Once the Soul Power-enhancing pills are sold, they will certainly attract attention from more powerful forces."
"Yes, ancestor, the disciple will handle it promptly and ensure quick restoration of the teleportation array." Yao Xuan respectfully answered, soon flashing away with the elders.
An hour later.
Medicine God Hall Teleportation Square.
Yao Qinghe and others flew back.
"Ancestor, we are ready." Yao Qinghe respectfully declared with clasped fists.
"Perfect timing, the teleportation array is restored, let’s go." Gu Chenfeng nodded with a smile, stepping directly into the teleportation array.
"Vice Hall Master! Elders! Disciple shall leave!" Yao Qinghe and others saluted respectfully, then followed into the teleportation.
"Ancestor." Yao Xuan quickly said respectfully: "When time allows, remember to visit the Ice and Snow Phoenix."
