Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 453: This Sect Master believes that you have an excellent physique...
When Gu Xiaoxing returned to the Soul-Devouring Sect again, he looked at his two good disciples, the disciples on various mountains, Shalong and Little Qilin playing and fighting, and Xu Qianxing beside him.
Only then did a smile appear on Gu Xiaoxing's lips.
At this moment, it was night. The entire Soul-Devouring Sect was like thousands of lights. The winding mountains looked like a harbor, and the lonely city was like a ship docked in the harbor, carrying many foreign tourists.
The Soul-Devouring Sect is undoubtedly the master of the harbor.
Gu Xiaoxing subconsciously took Xu Qianxing's hand, stood high in the sky, looked down, and suddenly felt a sense of tranquility and peace in his heart.
There are thousands of good things in the world, but none of them can compare to a moment of decline in the bay.
"Let's go home!" said Gu Xiaoxing.
"Yeah!" Xu Qianxing nodded.
Time passes, the sun rises and the moon sets.
Although the sun and moon in the small wasteland evolved from the sky, they still represent the passage of time.
In a blink of an eye, it has been two months since Gu Xiaoxing returned to the Soul-Devouring Sect.
After experiencing that great war, Gu Xiaoxing put all his thoughts into improving the strength of the sect, including his two close disciples and all the disciples.
Nowadays, the Soul-Devouring Sect has reached the top of the Small Wasteland in terms of strength, and there is no need to compete with others. In addition, Gu Xiaoxing has a large amount of cultivation resources.
Whether it is the silver fish or the golden fish, these are both rare fortunes in the world, and are something that all the major forces in the Xuantian Realm will send their geniuses into the Barrier World to compete for.
What's more, in addition to a large number of gold and silver fish, Gu Xiaoxing also has quite a few golden dragons, and even real dragon flesh and blood. These are real treasures for cultivation.
Combined with Gu Xiaoxing's Black Sparrow True Flame, it can not only greatly improve the disciples' cultivation, but also greatly stimulate their potential and improve their talents.
Gu Xiaoxing has never been stingy with his own people, and he spends resources lavishly without any concerns.
The creation of a spiritual practice like the swimming gold and silver fish is not the kind of elixir. It is said that all medicines are three-quarters poisonous, and this is not an exaggeration.
But the meat of golden and silver fish is different. It is completely a spiritual delicacy. As long as you control your intake properly and don't eat too much, there will basically be no hidden dangers.
However, there is still a tolerance limit. Disciples in the sect's Qi Condensation stage can only eat silver fish meat, and they can only eat a small piece each time. If they eat more, they will not be able to digest it.
Only when you reach the foundation-building stage can you start digesting the golden fish meat, but you can't eat much at one time.
Only when you reach the stage of Dan Formation can you digest more.
This couldn't help but make Gu Xiaoxing distressed. Looking at his disciples, he gradually revealed a look of disdain.
"They can't even eat properly. If this continues, how long will it take for me to finish eating all the fish I've caught?!"
In anger, Gu Xiaoxing started to give "special care". He walked up to a disciple who looked more pleasing to his eye and spoke directly.
"I believe that you have excellent physique and talent, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future. I don't want to see you fall into obscurity, so I can make an exception and guide you in your practice for three days. Are you willing?"
When the chubby disciple heard this, he was immediately shocked by her beauty. He even suspected that he was dreaming. He felt that happiness came too suddenly!
The master’s personal guidance!
However, he didn't know that this was a nightmare.
After being taken away by the sect leader, he was burned alive by a black fire for three days, screaming in agony and feeling heartbroken.
Moreover, it is not just roasted, the fish meat is also eaten until full, then roasted again, and then eaten again, and this is repeated again and again.
It's horrible!
When the fat disciple left the sect's mountain three days later, his cultivation had advanced from the early stage of foundation building to the early stage of core formation.
His cultivation level was greatly improved, but when he left, he crawled away, and his original fat completely disappeared, becoming skinny and bony, like a different person.
Like... someone who escaped from hell!
Gu Xiaoxing looked at the other person's departing back and nodded with satisfaction. This is what it's like!
Then, he took another step forward and found his next target.
In the next half month, Gu Xiaoxing found five more disciples. Although it was not known whether they had excellent physiques before they followed the sect master to the mountain, they were definitely top-notch geniuses when they arrived at the mountain!
But at the same time, they all seemed to have experienced something extremely terrifying. They all had at least the Jindan level of cultivation and could fly into the sky and hide in the ground with ease, but in the end they all had to crawl down the mountain.
The tragedy is hard to describe, and anyone who sees it will be horrified.
Those who did not see it but only heard about it were even more frightened, because rumors tend to become more and more outrageous as they spread.
Gradually, no foundation-building cultivator in the entire sect dared to come out.
Gu Xiaoxing stood on the top of the sect's mountain, looking at the Soul-Devouring Sect which seemed a little deserted today, and sighed. It seemed that he could not find any disciples to guide him.
From a distance, Gu Xiaoxing at this moment actually had the loneliness of an old man sighing alone.
However, as Gu Xiaoxing's eyes rolled around, he murmured, "Ahem... If I can't instruct the foundation-building disciples, I can still instruct the Jindan elders!"
Then, he took a step forward and appeared directly in front of Bai Xiangtian's cultivation cave. He coughed dryly and called out, "Xiangtian...!"
In the cave, Bai Xiangtian was sitting cross-legged, practicing. When he heard Gu Xiaoxing's voice, he was startled and suddenly opened his eyes. He almost turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the door at an astonishing speed.
"Uncle Gu!"
Bai Xiangtian looked at Gu Xiaoxing and bowed deeply. His expression was not only respectful, but also fanatical.
Gu Xiaoxing patted his shoulder and said in a friendly manner: "Xiangtian! Your cultivation is a bit superficial!"
"Uncle Gu is right. I have been in seclusion these days to consolidate my foundation." Bai Xiangtian said.
In fact, he also knew his own situation, because some time ago, Bai Xiangtian absorbed and refined the inner elixir of a silver fish.
Although the meat of the golden and silver fish can be distributed to disciples who are building their foundation and condensing their Qi to absorb and refine, the inner elixir is not something they can touch.
Even if it is just the inner elixir of the silver fish, it is best to reach the late stage of elixir formation before trying to refine it, otherwise, problems will easily arise.
Take Bai Xiangtian for example. He refined a silver fish inner pill with his cultivation in the middle stage of Jindan. Although he succeeded in breaking through to the late stage of Jindan in the end, it was still a bit difficult, which led to his weak foundation.
Gu Xiaoxing nodded and said, "That's right. Everything should be done in moderation, and cultivation should be steady and solid. This is what Uncle Bai once told me. I'm glad that you understand this."
Bai Xiangtian was delighted and said hurriedly, "My nephew still needs to learn from my uncle."
Gu Xiaoxing put his hands behind his back, coughed dryly, and said, "But it's too late to rely on yourself. I see that you have excellent physique and are a promising talent. Do you want me to give you some pointers?"
Bai Xiangtian's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. He bowed and said, "How lucky I am to have your guidance!"
Gu Xiaoxing showed a satisfied smile and patted Bai Xiangtian's shoulder again. The smile became even more cordial.
But for some reason, Bai Xiangtian's body suddenly trembled, as if he felt a sense of uneasiness, and felt that Uncle Gu's smile... was a bit creepy!
It is true that Bai Xiangtian has been in seclusion these days and has no idea what happened in the sect. Otherwise, he would not have had this expression when he heard the words "excellent bones and roots".
But he no longer had the chance to regret, as Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand and the two of them appeared on the top of the sect's mountain.
During the next ninety-nine and eighty-one hours, heart-wrenching screams were heard from the top of the mountain. If Gu Xiaoxing had not cast a barrier to isolate the sound, it would have probably spread throughout the Soul-Devouring Sect.
When Bai Xiangtian went down the mountain, not only was his cultivation no longer superficial, it had also improved and reached the great perfection of Jindan!
But he also climbed down the mountain!
It is conceivable how much pain a person who has reached the great perfection of the Jindan stage had to endure in order to crawl down the mountain!
This kind of situation would only occur if even the soul has been tortured to an endless degree of misery.
For a moment, countless people were frightened again, and they made up their minds one after another. They would do whatever the master wanted them to do, even warm their bed!
But you must never let the sect master give you any guidance on your cultivation.
Absolutely not!
They would rather rely on their own efforts to improve their cultivation bit by bit. They would rather have excellent physique than not have it!
As soon as Bai Xiangtian left, the top of the sect's mountain became deserted again, which made Gu Xiaoxing speechless.
Although, this method of burning with black flames and repeatedly tempering the body and soul is a little painful.
But the benefits are also huge!
Not only do you not have to worry about an unstable foundation, your cultivation will also improve faster, and even your talents will become stronger.
"Hmph...! You are all so useless. You can't even endure this little hardship. Can't you learn from this Sect Master?"
"Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best. If this sect master encounters such a good thing, why don't you take the initiative..."
"Li Wenru, please see the Sect Master!"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Gu Xiaoxing's monologue.
Gu Xiaoxing looked up and saw a person standing outside the mountaintop. He immediately said, "Senior Sister Li, there's no need to be polite. What do you want from me?"
The person who came was Elder Nanhe’s disciple, Li Wenru. Gu Xiaoxing and her had experienced life and death together and had a friendship of sharing weal and woe.
Li Wenru walked forward, looked at Gu Xiaoxing seriously, then bowed her head and said, "I heard that the sect master has a method to temper the body and soul. Can you please give me some advice?"
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned. Is there really someone who would come to him on his own initiative?
He couldn't help but look at Li Wenru strangely and said, "Yes, there is, but Senior Sister Li, this method is a little bit painful...!"
"No problem!"
Li Wenru didn't even frown as she said, "If they can bear it, then I can too. Please help me, Sect Master!"
What else could Gu Xiaoxing do? Of course, he could only sacrifice himself. He waved out a golden fish inner pill and said, "Swallow this inner pill and concentrate on refining it. I will help you with the true flame. The longer you endure, the greater the benefit."
