"Hu!" Gu Xuan exhaled a long breath, his face showing signs of exhaustion. Although he was not refining Grade Four Pills s, he was still at the fourth stage, which was too difficult for him with his current level of Five Stars Profound Level. Fortunately, there were no mistakes in the process.
"Let's continue refining." Glancing at Zong Qi who was still in shock, Gu Xuan waved his hand and said.
Nodding his head in a daze, Zong Qi's gaze towards Gu Xuan turned somewhat emotional. This teenager, just what kind of existence was he?
Walking out of the pill cultivating room, Gu Xuan directly left the Pill Dao Pavilion and returned to his pavilion.
Due to the victory of the previous challenge, Gu Xuan's position had also become twenty-six.
This position was already one of the top thirty Mountain And River List s. As long as one stayed here for a month, it would be enough for their family to be titled as a marquis family.
Thinking about it, Gu Xuan couldn't help but laugh. To be able to enter the top thirty of Mountain And River List, his father and Second Grandpa only had hopes for a while, and didn't think that they had that much of a guarantee.
After all, breaking through Sovereign Level was simple, it would be difficult to enter the top thirty ranks of Mountain And River List.
When many Martial Cultivator make breakthroughs in their Sovereign Level, they would directly accumulate Treasure Point, and after reaching the Nine Stars Profound Level, they would be able to break through to the Sovereign Level as long as they refined the medicinal strength of this pellet.
This was also the most common method of breaking through Sovereign Level at that time, and it was even the same for the breakthroughs in the Zhanshan s back then.
This was because it was truly too difficult for a person with ordinary talent to break through the two stages of Peak Profound Level and Sovereign Level, and Sovereign Level was already a watershed for experts.
This also caused many people to step into the Sovereign Level even if they had to lose their potential.
If not, she would have stayed in the Profound Level for dozens of years at most, and might not even be able to step into the Sovereign Level her entire life.
After all, in these past five years, some of the people with inferior aptitude had merely cultivated to the six Seven Stars realms, and there was an unknown distance between them and the Peak Profound Level s.
"Right now, I already have the qualification to apply for the dynasty's assessment, and to grant the family the right to a level of Marquis. However, there is no need for it yet, wait until I break through the Sovereign Level and perform exceptionally, then I will directly apply for the conferment of the King Level family."
Gu Xuan thought in his heart.
Above the Earth Class was the King Level family. If there were Earth Class families everywhere on the continent, then the King Level family was like a phoenix feather or qilin horn in a dynasty.
This was because the qualifications to a clan like the King Level was usually to have one King Level Expert in the clan!
And the King Level Expert s were extremely rare, there were only about one or two hundred of them in the entire Great Desolate Empire.
Of course, this was only the most common requirement. The other condition was to reach the peak of the Yingtian Institution!
The top families within the Yingtian Institution can be conferred marquis, and the top families among the Sovereign Level students can be conferred kingdoms!
Each of the four kings within the Yingtian Institution were all bestowed with King Level. Like Zhou Juechu, because he did not have a family, he was immediately bestowed the title of king and sealed the territory of the empire.
It was just Sovereign Level, but it had the status of King Level, but no one said anything about it. Although the strength of these King Level students had yet to reach this level, in terms of talent, stepping into that level was only a matter of time.
After returning to the pavilion, Gu Xuan directly went to the Training Array and activated the formation. After taking a few breaths, he then swallowed the Ghost Spirit Pill.
Boom!
Just as the pill entered his stomach, it turned into a berserk medicinal power that surged within Gu Xuan's body, causing his skin to turn red from the shock.
"What a powerful medicinal effect!"
Gu Xuan was also shocked, although he had some understanding of Ancient Medicinal Pills, but the ferocity of the medicine still exceeded his expectations.
"However, this is good as well. The medicinal effects are stronger. Only then will I be able to break through faster!"
Gu Xuan's face revealed an excited expression. With a thought, the Source Flame's power revolved crazily, and a terrifying suction force appeared. The medicinal power seemed to have found an opening, and crazily poured into Gu Xuan's dantian.
Boom boom!
Explosive sounds continuously rang out from within Gu Xuan's body, as though a sea of lightning was surging within his stomach.
Gu Xuan's state of mind was focused to the extreme, and did not dare to be even the slightest bit careless. This Ghost Spirit Pill's medicinal power was just too ferocious, and it was even a little difficult to control.
"Fortunately, it is only of medium quality. If this pill were of high quality, my body probably wouldn't be able to withstand it." Gu Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of lament. The Ancient Medicinal Pills's power was just too exaggerated, and this was not even a Third Grade pellet, but a fourth stage power!
Only when Gu Xuan used the heavenly fire as the source and had trained in the Divine Weapon Formula could he withstand it. Otherwise, even if it was the real ancient Martial Cultivator, when refining Grade Four Pills during Profound Level, they would only die.
The thundering sound from Gu Xuan's body stopped after half a day, but that did not mean that the pill's medicinal power had been completely absorbed, and in reality, it had only been absorbed two to three times out of ten times. It was just that the most violent time had already passed, and although the subsequent medicinal power was already ferocious, it was still similar to that of normal Grade Four Pills, so Gu Xuan did not need to deliberately refine it.
"Mn, in half a day, you actually allowed me to stabilize my Six Stars Profound Level realm, not bad."
Gu Xuan stood up and nodded his head in satisfaction. Although the following speed was definitely slower than before, with this speed, he would be able to break through his Six Stars Profound Level in less than a month.
In the days that followed, Gu Xuan calmed down and spent most of his time refining pills. He spent part of his time going to the Pill Dao Pavilion to teach Zong Qi how to refine pills.
A single Ghost Spirit Pill was enough for Gu Xuan to refine for five days, and Gu Xuan had prepared over ten sets of ingredients, which were enough for two months. Of course, if Gu Xuan did not make a breakthrough, then the speed of refinement would increase by an entire level.
As for the challenge, Gu Xuan had completely forgotten about it. Only when he had no way to raise his realm did Gu Xuan choose to earn Treasure Point to hone his skills. But in front of increasing his realm, he had to give way to everything else.
Of course, in the eyes of others, Gu Xuan's silence was naturally an expression of fear.
Although their previous guesses were overturned when Gu Xuan came out of seclusion, it was different this time around. Last time, they did not even know how powerful Gu Xuan was, so it was possible for him to rise in power.
But this time, Gu Xuan had revealed all of his trump cards, especially those of the Earth-Rank Martial Arts.
Right now, Gu Xuan had truly reached a point where he could not level up. Under the heaven defying state of Gu Xuan's Military Strength, they had long guessed that Gu Xuan had cultivated a cultivation technique, and the technique he cultivated must have been a top-notch one in the legends. Furthermore, he had refined a Beast Fire, in order to obtain such a powerful Strength of Fire.
In this sort of situation, there were only two possibilities for Gu Xuan to raise his strength. One was to break through a realm, and the other was to refine a Earth Fire.
The fact was that it was extremely rare, and how difficult it was to obtain them. To obtain a total of five hundred thousand Treasure Point in order to exchange for them, even if all of the Treasure Point in the entire Heavenly Academy were to be added together, it might not necessarily be so much.
And breaking through to the next stage would be even more difficult.
Although the aura that Gu Xuan had previously displayed was tyrannical, it was not difficult for him to discover that he had just stepped into the Five Stars Profound Level, and the challenge was at most a month old.
Training from Five Stars Profound Level to Six Stars Profound Level in a month?
Those monstrous gifted people might be able to accomplish it under special circumstances, but Gu Xuan belonged to the category of people with heaven-defying Military Strength.
For example, Mountain And River List being third right now would allow one to challenge someone beyond their cultivation realm, but right now, they were only cultivating to the Nine Stars Profound Level, so every step forward would be many times more difficult than the others.
To have such a heaven defying Military Strength and his fast cultivation speed, the only one with that much of a chance was Zhou Juechu.
After exactly twenty days, Gu Xuan who had just finished refining the fifth Ghost Spirit Pill, felt a hint of restlessness in his body.
It was like a group of small insects crawling in his dantian.
Sensing this change, Gu Xuan's face immediately revealed a trace of joy. With this development, his breakthrough was already not too far away. He just needed to wait for a few days, and he would be able to successfully break through.
"If I had to wait for a few days, it would be too long." Gu Xuan shook his head slightly and retrieved another Ghost Spirit Pill. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately swallowed it!
Boom!
The effects of the first Ghost Spirit Pill was not completely absorbed, and the second was swallowed. With the fusion of the two, it was twice as strong as the first pellet!
"Charge!"
Because the medicinal power on Gu Xuan's body was too ferocious, the blood vessels on his body bulged, looking extremely sinister.
At this time, the medicinal power of the medicine had already exceeded the limit of what Gu Xuan could endure.
And it was only because of this, that the excessive medicinal energy would be able to attack the Six Stars Profound Level under the automatic guidance of the body.
Only by breaking through the Six Stars Profound Level would one be able to contain such a terrifying amount of medicinal power. And once a person failed to do so, the medicinal power overflowing from all directions would leak into every part of their body, striking their body so hard that it became riddled with holes.
"Bo!"
A clear and crisp sound, like that of porcelain being broken, rang out from within Gu Xuan's dantian. The Strength of Fire that was rapidly spinning suddenly stopped, and then, all of its berserk medicinal power was absorbed into the Strength of Fire Vortex.
This caused the whirlpool to increase a bit, and the aura on Gu Xuan's body completed a transformation, increasing it by a level.
"Hu!"
Gu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face. After wasting a Ghost Spirit Pill, and taking the risk of destroying his foundation, he finally managed to quickly break through his Six Stars Profound Level, causing his strength to increase by leaps and bounds.
