251: Chapter 251 Stagnation Powder

His cultivation was also rapidly regressing under the impact of this energy!

If this continued, not only would his cultivation be completely ruined, but he might even explode and die on the spot!

"No!"

Gao Feng let out a roar of unwillingness!

He absolutely could not just die here!

At this critical juncture of life and death, he thought once again of his final trump card—the spiritual spring!

With a thought, the spiritual spring water from his portable space surged into his body like a released flood!

That pure and gentle Origin energy, like life-saving nectar, began a desperate struggle against the violent torrent of energy!

One force was full of destruction and chaos, a highly toxic power.

The other force was full of life and purification, an Origin power.

These two completely opposing forces unfolded a brutal tug-of-war within his body.

Gao Feng's body became the battlefield for this war.

His skin was sometimes fiery red, sometimes icy purple; his entire body was like an inflated balloon, hovering wildly on the edge of explosion.

Time passed second by second.

He did not know how long had passed, but when the last drop of spiritual spring water in his body was exhausted...

that violent torrent of energy was finally barely suppressed, turning into wisps of black, foul-smelling Impurities that were forced out of his body.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Gao Feng collapsed on the ground, as if he had just been fished out of water, soaked in cold sweat, gasping for air.

Although he had saved his life, his Origin Qi was severely damaged.

He could feel that his Meridians had suffered severe trauma, and his cultivation had regressed from the Peak of the fourth layer of Body Refining back to the Early Stage of the fourth layer of Body Refining.

Even worse, wisps of that strange toxin remained in his body, like maggots on a bone, constantly eroding his vitality and causing his Cultivate to come to a complete standstill.

Stagnation Powder!

This incredibly vicious name suddenly flashed through Gao Feng's mind!

This was a colorless and odorless, sinister poison specifically used to destroy a Cultivator's Meridians, causing their spiritual power to become disordered and their Cultivate to stagnate!

The Medicinal Pill had been tampered with!

Who?!

Who on earth would use such a vicious method to frame him?!

A monstrous rage burned fiercely in Gao Feng's chest!

He slowly crawled up from the ground, his deep eyes flashing with cold killing intent like ten-thousand-year-old ice!

He did not make a scene, nor did he go to the Sect to lodge a complaint.

Because he knew that without evidence, everything was futile.

He wanted to drag out the black hand hiding in the shadows himself!

Enduring the severe pain in his body, he changed into an inconspicuous Menial Laborer outfit and left his Immortal Cave silently.

He was going to the Pill Hall!

He wanted to see who exactly had tampered with the Medicinal Pill he had exchanged for!

Relying on the top-tier reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance skills he mastered as a special forces king in his previous life, Gao Feng lurked like a ghost in an inconspicuous corner near the Pill Hall.

He restrained his aura to the extreme, blending his entire being into the surrounding environment.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the Menial Laborer who gave him the Medicinal Pill to appear again.

Time passed second by second.

Finally, at dusk, a shifty-eyed Utility Disciple snuck out from the back door of the Pill Hall.

It was exactly that Menial Laborer who had handed him the body tempering pill during the day!

Gao Feng's eyes instantly became sharp!

He saw that the Utility Disciple did not return to the Menial Laborer courtyard, but instead walked cautiously toward a luxurious Immortal Cave deep within the inner Sect.

Gao Feng immediately followed silently.

In front of that luxurious Immortal Cave, the Utility Disciple knocked on the door respectfully.

Soon, the door of the Immortal Cave opened, and a young man in luxurious clothing with an arrogant expression walked out.

It was Chen Yun!

"How did the matter go?" Chen Yun's voice carried a hint of condescending arrogance.

"Reporting to Senior Brother Chen, it's all done!" the Utility Disciple said, bowing and scraping with a fawning smile on his face. "That kid has already exchanged for that doctored body tempering pill! Counting the time, even if he isn't dead now, he's already a cripple!"

"Very good!" A satisfied smile appeared on Chen Yun's face as he casually tossed a Storage Pouch to the Menial Laborer. "This is your reward. Remember to keep your mouth shut! If a third person finds out, you know the consequences!"

"Yes, yes, yes! This one will definitely keep his mouth shut! Many thanks for the reward, Senior Brother Chen! Many thanks, Senior Brother Chen!"

The Utility Disciple took the Storage Pouch and turned to leave, expressing endless gratitude.

Hiding in the shadows, Gao Feng saw and heard everything clearly.

Chen Yun!

It was actually him!

A monstrous killing intent surged wildly in Gao Feng's heart, almost completely swallowing his reason!

He wished he could rush out right now and tear these two to pieces!

However, he ultimately forced down the killing intent in his heart.

He knew it was not the time yet.

Chen Yun was at the seventh layer of Qi Refining with a deep background.

And he himself was seriously injured with regressed cultivation.

Rushing out now would be no different from throwing an egg against a rock, seeking his own death.

A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!

Gao Feng took a deep look at the brightly lit luxurious Immortal Cave, engraving Chen Yun's arrogant face firmly in his mind.

Then, he turned and left silently, like a ghost blending into the darkness.

He did not lash out immediately, but chose to endure.

He wanted to recover from his injuries first and expel the deadly poison from his body.

Then, he would make that self-righteous Chen Yun pay a price ten thousand times more painful than death!

The night was like ink.

Gao Feng's figure returned to his Immortal Cave silently, like a phantom.

He closed the stone door, set up a Restriction, and his body could no longer hold up, suddenly going limp against the cold stone wall.

"Pfft!"

Another mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth, splattering on the ground, a shocking sight.

He could feel the Stagnation Powder toxin in his body wildly eroding his Meridians; the intense pain, like ten thousand ants gnawing at his heart, was almost enough to completely destroy his will.

"Chen Yun..."

Gao Feng spat out this name with difficulty, and in his deep eyes burned a monstrous rage capable of scorching the eight wildernesses!

This time, he had also been careless!

Because of jealousy, because of suspicion, he had to use such a sinister method to put someone to death!

"You just wait... If I, Gao Feng, do not tear you to pieces, I swear I will not be human!"

A low growl filled with endless killing intent echoed incessantly in the silent Immortal Cave.

Supporting his body that was almost falling apart, he moved his mind, and his entire person instantly disappeared from the Immortal Cave, entering that familiar, vibrant portable space.

Upon entering the space, that extremely dense life aura was like the gentlest mother's hand, softly soothing his riddled body, causing his tearing pain to ease slightly.

He did not hesitate in the slightest, walking directly to the spiritual spring emitting misty Spiritual Qi, and soaked his entire body in it.

"Hiss!"

When his body came into contact with that incredibly pure spiritual spring water, an indescribable sense of comfort instantly spread throughout his body!

He could clearly feel that Origin energy, full of life and purification power, surging wildly into his body through all his pores, like an army of thousands, launching a fierce charge against the Stagnation Powder toxins entrenched in his Meridians!

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

Wisps of black, foul-smelling toxins were constantly forced out from his skin surface, then instantly purified and vanished into nothingness by the pure spiritual spring water.

The heart-rending pain was rapidly fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His damaged Meridians also began to slowly repair under the nourishment of that vast life energy, even becoming tougher and wider than before!

"This... this is..."

A look of unbelievable surprise appeared in Gao Feng's eyes!

He discovered that while the spiritual spring water was purifying the toxins, it had actually washed away the subtle Impurities accumulated in his Meridians from his previous rapid Cultivate!

Breaking and then establishing!

A blessing in disguise!

This fatal crisis, under the Heaven-Defying efficacy of the spiritual spring water, had turned into a huge Opportunity for rebirth!

An even crazier thought flashed through his mind!

He wanted to take advantage of this Opportunity and use this vast energy to make a Breakthrough in one fell swoop!

He wanted to turn this humiliation and pain into the driving force for his own advancement!

He wanted to make that high and mighty Chen Yun pay the most painful price for his actions!

"Come on!"

A terrifying gleam erupted in Gao Feng's eyes!

Moving his mind, several crystal-clear spiritual rhyme fruit emitting vast Spiritual Qi floated in front of him!

He opened his mouth and swallowed all those spiritual rhyme fruit in one gulp, like a great whale drinking water!

"Boom!"

A torrent of pure Spiritual Qi, ten times, a hundred times larger than any previous time, erupted in his body like a volcano that had been dormant for billions of years!

That violent energy was almost going to burst his body alive!

"Ah!"

Gao Feng let out a long, painful yet exhilarating roar toward the sky!

He frantically circulated the Nine Revolutions Profound Body Art, guiding that vast energy, as well as the spiritual spring water continuously surging into his body, to begin impacting that indestructible Realm barrier!

His body was once again cracked and bleeding from the violent energy!

But this time, there was not a trace of pain in his eyes, only endless madness and determination!

Every tearing was accompanied by deeper repair and rebirth!

Every pain heralded the imminent arrival of even greater power!

He did not know how long had passed, but when that vast torrent of energy was finally completely refined by him...

an unprecedented, terrifying aura, like a landslide or tsunami, suddenly erupted from his body.
