58: Chapter 58 Xun'er's Investment! The Shocked Master and Disciple

[Protector Wu, an Earth-Grade Protector from the Hall of Souls in the Central Plains, was searching for the Souls of powerful experts in the Northwest Continent. While doing so, he was also looking for Xiao Luo, who might be a descendant of the Xiao Clan. Unexpectedly, on Yun Lan Mountain, he sensed that the eighth Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, Yun Shan, was poisoned, his Lifespan was nearing its end, and he was about to fall. He prepared to manipulate him into working for the Hall of Souls, but was temporarily rejected by Yun Shan.]

[Yun Shan was afflicted with the Poison Demon Spot released by a three-star Dou Huang from the Myriad Scorpion Gate of the Izumo Empire before he fell. Although he relied on his own powerful Cultivation of Fighting Qi to suppress it, he could not stop the poison from eroding his body. His Lifespan was greatly reduced, and he was about to fall. You have three methods to help him.]

[Your methods to resolve Yun Shan's Poison Demon Spot:]

1: Yao Lao possesses a Pill Formula for a sixth-grade pill of his own creation, the "Ling Fu Clear Mind Pill." The sixth-grade pill refined from this can resolve the toxicity of the Poison Demon Spot. After Yun Shan consumes his Fighting Qi, he has a 70% chance of breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, restoring the Lifespan eroded by the poison.

2: If you break through to the Great Dou Master level within one year and master a Heavenly Flame, you can help Yun Shan resolve the toxicity. You will gain some Cultivation, but you will not be able to restore Yun Shan's Lifespan. If he risks his life to make the Breakthrough, he will have a 30% chance of reaching the Dou Zong realm and restoring the Lifespan eroded by the poison.

3: Sit back and watch Protector Wu help Yun Shan break through. If he succeeds, tell him that his Soul has been tampered with by Protector Wu. Using the sixth-grade pill, the "Primal Chaos Clear Heart Pill," can remove the Hun Clan's hidden hand, but it cannot clear the influence. Using the seventh-grade pill, the "primal chaos one qi pill," can resolve his worries and clear the influence on his Soul.

"Did the Hall of Souls approach Old Sect Master Yun Shan at this time?" A flash of light crossed Gu Han's eyes.

The Xiao Family and the Cloud Mist Sect truly reached the point of irreconcilable enmity.

The Three-Year Agreement was the trigger, and Yun Ling's insistence on avenging Mo Cheng was also an excuse to escalate the conflict. Therefore, the cooperation between Yun Shan and the Hall of Souls was the root cause.

If this matter could be resolved, Gu Han would not only fully repay the kindness of the Cloud Mist Sect but would also exceed it.

By then, he would be able to leave without any psychological burden and head to the Central Plains to seek development.

"Three methods, let's use them all simultaneously."

"If the Old Sect Master breaks through to the Dou Zong realm, the Cloud Mist Sect can barely squeeze into the first-rate forces of the Northwest Continent and the second-rate forces of the Fighting Qi Continent."

"Once the Sect Tournament is over, that will be the time for me to leave."

The Sect Tournament is divided into several stages and types, among which the most attention-grabbing are the Sect Master Battle and the Disciple Battle.

In the Disciple Battle, each major Sect can only send Disciple under the age of twenty-five to participate, using the ranking to prove the potential of a Sect.

The Sect Master Tournament is a ranking competition participated in by the Sect Masters of each major Sect, which reflects the strength of the current leader of that Sect.

Based on the performance in these two aspects, many benefits can be obtained, and Gu Han naturally intends to participate in the Disciple Tournament.

"Right now, I must Cultivate first!"

Gu Han's thoughts stirred, and he returned to the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm, leaving a phantom image on the bed.

It is worth mentioning that after his Soul broke through to the Middle Stage of the Mortal Realm, the space within the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm had expanded to a radius of one hundred meters.

When he is in the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm, he can have a clear grasp of the situation within a radius of thirty meters outside and have some sensing.

Besides, when he is in the outside world, he can sense gazes within a radius of five hundred meters.

"Ice layers overlap, I am before them, immovable as a mountain, the enemy cannot break through."

Gu Han sat on the yuan crystal marrow, holding the hundred-year cold jade, and circulated his Fighting Qi according to the meridian routes recorded in the Ice Soul Profound Canon.

The Fighting Qi in his body circulated in a unique cycle through the Meridians, and every time it passed the Dantian position, a portion would be left behind.

After thirty-six cycles, a white crystal condensed within the Fighting Qi vortex, emitting a chilling cold.

This is the core of the Ice Soul Profound Canon, constructing a fake dou crystal within the vortex to simulate a Great Dou Master.

The next step is to repeat the above Cultivation method ten times in one go, only then can an ice soul be condensed at the heart, which means the Cultivation Technique has been mastered to the Major Achievement.

This ice soul in the heart can theoretically store Fighting Qi equal to his Cultivation, and when needed, he can use secret techniques to mobilize it, or even detonate it to cause his strength to skyrocket.

Gu Han cannot do this yet; condensing the first ice soul consumed all his Fighting Qi, and he only succeeded by relying on the assistance of the hundred-year cold jade and the yuan crystal marrow.

"It will likely be very difficult to condense the second ice soul before breaking through to the Dou Master realm."

Feeling that his strength had improved by more than ten percent, Gu Han smiled with satisfaction, opened his eyes, and left the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm.

By now, the sun was high, and it would not be long before it was time for lunch.

After lunch, Gu Han would return to the Imperial Capital with the Nalan Family.

Nalan Yanyun would also go back with them, waiting for Xiao Yan to come and marry her in a year's time.

Of course, if Xiao Yan had the ability to take back the former Xiao Family mansion in the Imperial Capital, they could hold the wedding there.

Gu Han washed up simply and, after leaving the courtyard, headed to the Xiao Family's deliberation hall.

On the roof of a courtyard, Ling Xiao saw Gu Han's current state and was slightly surprised: "Brother, look, has Gu Han successfully condensed the first ice soul?"

"Little sister, calm down." Ling Ying's voice was low, giving a sense of composure: "He has already cultivated a Profound Rank Elementary Cultivation Technique to Perfection. If he could not enter the door and condense the ice soul to Minor Achievement in one night, he would not be worthy of being valued by you and the Young Miss."

Ling Xiao immediately shot him a look full of disdain: "Before saying this, stop reaching for the dagger behind your waist."

Ling Ying had a habit: whenever he was nervous or excited, he would take the dagger into his hand.

Ling Ying: "..."

"This speed is seven days faster than we expected." Xun'er's voice appeared behind the two of them, with a surprised expression on her Face: "If he had ice-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure to assist his Cultivation, this speed would also be excellent."

"But he didn't leave the courtyard last night, nor did he take out any ice-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure, right?"

"No." Ling Xiao shook her head affirmatively: "Although this subordinate did not deliberately watch him, if there were changes in the heaven and earth energy, I would be able to perceive it immediately."

"It seems that his Foundation is very deep, and his Comprehension Ability is more than just ordinary S-rank." Xun'er's lips curled slightly: "I didn't expect to discover such a Genius before leaving."

"Old Ling, you will stay behind when the time comes and be his Protector."

"Yes, Young Miss." Ling Ying agreed readily.

After Xun'er left, even if he broke through to the Dou Zong realm, he would not be ranked.

It would be better to be Gu Han's Protector, which could be considered an investment in this wild Genius.

Gu Han was unaware of the conversation between the three. After arriving at the Xiao Family's deliberation hall, he was chatting with Nalan Su and the others.

When the time was about right, everyone went to the banquet hall for a meal. This time, the scale was much smaller than the previous day, with only the high-level members of the Xiao Family, direct descendants, and some experts from within Wutan City remaining.

After the meal, Nalan Su proposed to leave.

"You go with Uncle Nalan first, I have something to discuss with Xiao Yan."

Letting Xiao Mei leave with Nalan Su, Gu Han approached Xiao Yan privately: "Brother Xiao Yan, shall we have a chat on the side?"

"Please." Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised that Gu Han would come to find him privately, suspecting that Nalan Yanran or Yun Yun had something for him to pass on.

Considering that the Nalan Family's character was good, and for the sake of Nalan Yanyun, as long as the words weren't harsh, he would just treat them as wind past his ears.

The two arrived at Xiao Zhan's study. Xiao Yan invited Gu Han to sit down. The latter did not stand on ceremony; after sitting down, he spoke directly: "Brother Xiao Yan, congratulations on recovering to the fourth stage of Dou Zhi Qi in less than three days."

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. He sat down opposite Gu Han with a shy and gentle smile: "This is all thanks to the Thousand-Year Stalagmite Spirit Fluid that Uncle Nalan gifted. I don't know why, but my Dou Zhi Qi Cultivation hasn't mysteriously disappeared again."

Gu Han looked at Xiao Yan and said: "Brother Xiao Yan, you are clearly using the Foundation Establishment Elixir, why lie to me?"

Xiao Yan: !

Yao Lao: !!
