Inside the palace, Gu Xuan was smiling, there was a hint of playfulness in his smile, and he looked at the elders below who were all dumbfounded.
Silence reigned. No one spoke, and only heavy breathing could be heard. It seemed hurried, panicked, and excited.
Most of the more than thirty elders present were of Peak of Sect Level and had been stuck in this realm for many years without progressing even an inch.
Many elders had already developed the heart of someone late in life, but Gu Xuan's words, had instead ignited their hope!
A total of thirty over clan elders looked at Gu Xuan with burning hot faces, their eyes burning with desire. If not for them being worried that Gu Xuan was their sect master, they would have swarmed over and begged Gu Xuan to help them to break through the realms.
Mo Jingyun's eyes erupted with a scorching light as he stared fixedly at Gu Xuan. It was as if he could see from Gu Xuan's face how many hidden abilities Gu Xuan had, and how much of a shock he would receive.
To help the Zong Stage Expert break through to the Emperor Level was already a miraculous feat. In Mo Jingyun's memories, there was only one person who could do it.
That person was his master, the Pill Emperor Gu Xuan from a hundred years ago! Seventh Grade Medicine Refining Master!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Mo Jingyun's mind. This technique was extremely mysterious, and even if he wanted to learn it, he might not be able to, but how could the young Gu Xuan in front of him learn it?
"Even though he is a Heavenly Martial Cultivator and has monstrous talent, but this does not mean that his talent in the path of alchemists can be compared with his talent in the martial way. Could it be that this Little Gu Xuan is …"
"No, no, he can't be my master. At most, he's my junior brother, and with master's style, for some reason, he has hidden himself away in the world, and trained a demon like disciple to travel the continent in his place. It's completely possible." Mo Jingyun forcefully suppressed the "ridiculous" thought in his heart.
Gu Xuan stood up from the throne, keeping the Spiritual Treasure floating in the sky, and said solemnly: "I know what all of you are thinking right now, but I have some things that I need to say first. Assisting Peak of Sect Level to advance, the price to pay was not small, as he needed a Heavenly Essence Pill. As a result, I can only increase the number of people by 10! The question of who should be chosen should be left to the elder! I need to go back and make some preparations. I just need those ten people to come here tomorrow morning! "
After Gu Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked into a secret room.
Inside the palace, a group of elders quickly left the vicinity of the Seven-Storey Pagoda.
The elder had undoubtedly become a hot topic, and being surrounded by a crowd of elders, not only did he hear praises, but even the few elders he didn't get along with before were now like his admirers, flattering him with flattery … It made him very comfortable.
The elders had even given away their treasures that they had collected for many years without a word. They didn't even bat an eye.
Although the elder's mouth was twitching, he actually enjoyed this feeling. The people he chose would become the first ones to become the Emperor Level Expert, and those few people would receive his favor and owe him an enormous favor.
And all of this, was given to him by Gu Xuan. Back then, he had chosen to support Gu Xuan, and the rewards he received were simply too great.
Of course, it was still possible to hate those who did not choose, but was a mere hatred from the Master Level worth the Emperor Level Expert's favor?
The answer is no.
"However, it's indeed worth considering which nine people to choose." The elder felt tired. Tonight was yet another sleepless night.
On the second day, just as Gu Xuan arrived at the great hall, ten Peak of Sect Level Elders walked in excitedly.
The one who was walking at the very front was actually the Elder who guided them. He had long ago reached the Peak of Sect Level, so how could he let himself miss such an opportunity.
Gu Xuan slightly nodded his head: "I will pass on my skills and stay behind. As for the rest of the people, they should go out first, line up, and come one by one."
Hearing this, the nine Peak of Sect Level Elders immediately left respectfully.
Unknowingly, Elder Zi appeared by Gu Xuan's side, his eyes filled with hidden bitterness.
Gu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Elder Zi, your situation is a little special, if you want to recover your realm, you must do so at once. It is true that I can force you to recover your One Star Emperor Level, but it will affect your talent, so your future achievements are limited. So you'll have to wait. "
The Elder Zi sighed, then left while saying, "Fine, I'll listen to you. However, don't make me wait too long, my eyes are red."
In the great hall, only Gu Xuan and the achievement elder were left.
"Heaven Mending Cauldron!"
Gu Xuan waved his hand and called out the Heaven Mending Cauldron, using the special method recorded in the Sky Mending and Element Returning Skill to activate it.
"Don't resist, go in!" Gu Xuan lightly propped up the elder and sent him into the Heaven Mending Cauldron.
Immediately, flames surrounded the Elder and a Heavenly Essence Pill floated above the Old Man.
"Star River, Soul Suppressing Orb!"
"Just faint!"
Gu Xuan's eyes flashed with a light as a majestic wave of spiritual force entered the Elder's mind and knocked him out.
The nine elders were anxiously waiting outside the Seven-Storey Pagoda.
"Do you think we can really succeed? I had originally trusted the sect master, but now, the more I think about it, the more doubtful I feel. To think that someone was actually able to raise their Peak of Sect Level to that level, it would even be inconceivable. "
"Two hours have already passed. Could it be that he has failed?"
The more they waited, the more impatient they became.
In the distance, there were even a group of dejected elders watching with furrowed brows. They also wanted to see if Gu Xuan truly had the heaven defying ability that he had described!
"It's been four hours and there's still no movement. Could it be that he really has failed …" One of the elders muttered. But before he could finish speaking, the door of the hall slowly opened.
The Elder walked out of the hall with a frown on his face.
"What's going on? Why are you looking so bitter about the cultivation technique? Could it be that you've failed?" One of the selected elders had a deathly pale face, as if he had received a heavy blow.
"Haha, I've indeed failed. Hmph, you didn't choose me. Serves you right for your failure!" Far off in the distance, a failed elder viciously thought in his heart.
However, right at this moment, an extremely majestic aura surged out of the Elder's body, pressing down on the nearby Peak of Sect Level Elders, making them feel as if they couldn't breathe.
"Damn, the peak of One Star Emperor Level!" You're already promoted, why are you frowning? "
"Oh? I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now, because I just got promoted, Sect Master said that I did not have enough money, so it took some time for me to improve my foundation, and I even used one more Heavenly Essence Pill. Because it's a lot of use, Sect Master told me to think of a way to repay it in the future. It was rare for the Elder to have a good sense of humor.
Nine pairs of eyes rolled their eyes at the elder.
In the distance, the Elders who were watching this scene felt their minds go blank, and only envy and jealousy remained in their eyes.
Second Peak of Sect Level, couldn't wait to enter the great hall.
After a day and night had passed, Gu Xuan had all ten people raise their Emperor Level and also bestowed ten Earthly Soul Treasure s. Only then did he have a good rest.
On the fifth day since Gu Xuan had returned to the Ying Tian Sect, twelve Light of Escape suddenly soared from his Ying Tian Sect, flying towards the Immortal Sword Sect!
