Chapter 172: Advancing to Half-Saint!



"Why is that woman here again? She really has a strong heart, doesn't she?"

Watching Xun'er arrive, Ziyan muttered to herself. Her impression of Xun'er was still stuck on their first meeting. Back then, Xun'er had suddenly appeared, speaking in a sarcastic tone and displaying a haughty attitude, which left a very poor impression on Ziyan. Of course, the main reason for her dislike was Gu Fei's attitude towards Xun'er. Anyone Gu Fei disliked, Ziyan would dislike as well, and the opposite was true too.

Beside her, Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin each held a child and remained silent. They both knew that in the past, Gu Fei had indeed deeply loved this beautiful and otherworldly woman before them. However, they were also sure that after what had happened, with Gu Fei's character, he would never turn back and accept Xun'er again.

As expected, when Xun'er spoke, Gu Fei merely glanced at her indifferently before shifting his gaze back to the Gu clan elders, continuing to chat with them, completely ignoring her.T/his chapter is updat/ed by nov(ê(l)biin.c/o/m

"Brother Gu Fei..."

Seeing Gu Fei's reaction, Xun'er felt a deep sense of loss, but she kept a smile on her face. With so many people present, she couldn't afford to lose her composure, especially since she had prepared herself mentally for this situation before coming. No matter what, at least she showed up today, which was better than not coming to congratulate him at all.

"Brother Gu Fei, if you could treat me like an ordinary person, perhaps I would understand that you've really moved on... But the way you're reacting now, is it because I still hold a significant place in your heart? So much so that you can't forget the past and treat me like the others!"

Calm and rational, Xun'er's mind raced with thoughts. She knew it wasn't wise to cling to him stubbornly, and that it was better to leave at the right time.

"What does she really mean?"

On Gu Fei's end, due to the emotional value system, even though he wasn't looking at Xun'er, he was still aware of the changes in her emotions. The few emotional cues from Xun'er made Gu Fei furrow his brow.

This woman, showing such deep affection now, then why did she hurt others before?

"Forget it, don't bother with her."

Gu Fei shook his head and continued to entertain the group of clan elders before him. The Ninth-Grade Pill in his hand was, besides him, the second main attraction of the day. Nearly every conversation revolved around him and this Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill. Some of the Gu clan elders had already started to reserve a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill. Once they gathered the necessary ingredients, they would likely come to Gu Fei for help.

These elders were all Gu Fei's seniors, many of whom had treated him well, so it was difficult for Gu Fei to refuse their requests.

Ziyan chimed in instinctively.

"Yes, Daddy! Aunt Ziyan is so good to me!" Xian Yue said earnestly, her mouth full of the candy pills Ziyan had given her.

Hearing this, Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian exchanged a knowing smile.

After arranging everything, Gu Fei went back to his secluded cultivation place. Although swallowing the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill wasn't as complicated as the Ninth-Grade Mysterious Pill, it was still necessary to make thorough preparations.

Gu Fei took out his cauldron and refined some pills to neutralize the pill's effects. Once everything was ready, he swallowed the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill along with the neutralizing pills.

The energy contained within the Treasure Pill was already greater than the total energy in Gu Fei's body as a peak Nine-Star Dou Venerate. As soon as the pill went down, a massive surge of energy erupted, threatening to burst Gu Fei's body. Fortunately, Gu Fei was well-prepared. The neutralizing pills started to take effect, and with the help of his heavenly flame, he managed to stabilize the situation.

"Refine!"

Gu Fei focused all his energy, using his heavenly flame to refine the enormous medicinal power within him. Pure energy began to spread throughout his body, reaching every limb and

bone.

Gu Fei's Nine-Changes Dou Venerate body seemed to have reached its saturation point. If he couldn't break through to Half-Saint, no matter how much energy he absorbed, it would be

useless.

The term "Half-Saint" is often referred to as the abyss of despair for all peak Dou Venerate experts. Most who reach the peak of Dou Venerate can only linger on the edge of Half-Saint, no matter how hard they train, unable to truly step into this level.

Only by reaching Half-Saint can one qualify to become a Dou Saint! In fact, Half-Saint is the most crucial stepping stone before entering the realm of Dou Saint. If one cannot step into the Half-Saint level, they can forget about ever becoming a true Dou Saint expert!

As Dou Di gradually became a legendary memory in history, the simple word "Saint" came to represent the pinnacle of this world.
