Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body

Chapter 22: Peak-Grade Spirit Stones! Extravagant Decorations

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

All kinds of strange stones came into view. They were probably affected by the removal of impurities by the system. Even these stones were full of spiritual energy. Some looked like exotic flowers and plants, and some looked like birds and beasts, vivid and lifelike. They looked as if they would spring to life at any moment.

If they stood here for another 100 years, perhaps they would really give birth to stone spirits that would break out of the ground. Gu Xi could not help but think of the famous Monkey King in the modern world in his previous life.

“This place is pretty good for cultivation.”

Since this location was hidden and near a cliff, it was unlikely that anyone would step foot at this place. Even so, Gu Xi also set up a barrier to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in.

The sect could provide all the basic building materials, and the main thing he lacked now was spirit stones. Gu Xi looked at the spirit stones given to him by the sect and the clan. There was a pile of high-grade spirit stones and a small portion of middle-grade spirit stones.

[System detected middle-grade spirit stones.]

[8,796 flaws have been discovered. Do you wish to extract the flaws and repair them?]

[System detected high-grade spirit stones.]

[6,753 flaws detected. Do you wish to repair them?]

...

Gu Xi chose to purify all of them without hesitation.

With a flash of light, the spirit stones on the ground started to melt. Countless rays of light swirled around them, and colorful liquids could be vaguely seen interweaving together as the spirit stones were being extracted continuously.

When the rays of light gradually faded away, only half the amount of spirit stones was left. Even the color and shape of the spirit stones had changed.

The pure-white spirit stones looked like falling stars in the sky. There were no other colors, and the rich spiritual energy within them was even more obvious.

They were all peak-gradespirit stones, and their quality was even higher than supreme-grade spirit stones. Gu Xi picked up one of the spirit stones, and the gentle power flowing in his palm felt like a refreshing, gentle breeze.

Even Little Nine jumped on it happily, its big tail swept up and down. Gu Xi took a few spirit stones and let Little Nine play with them by the side.

This kind of spirit stone was not only used as currency. When used in formations, cultivation, or inlaid on Magic Tools, it could also achieve amazing results. It was very useful.

Gu Xi waved his hand, and those spirit stones started to move. They automatically attached themselves to the wall. In an instant, the originally dark cave became bright, and no other light source was needed.

The spirit stones on the wall may seem messy, but in fact, they contained the eight trigrams of Heaven and Earth, the laws of the movement of the stars in the sky.

They were able to fuse the spiritual energy within them with the spiritual energy within the environment, circulating it continuously. This would make the spiritual energy even denser.

If anyone were to see this, they might say that Gu Xi had squandered his fortune.

It could be said that the spiritual energy here was the most abundant in the entire sect. Even Shen Tianyi’s main peak paled in comparison. After all, so many peak-grade spirit stones were not just for show. Such a large amount of spirit stones was simply breathtaking.

Gu Xi did not feel any heartache. After all, he had the system with him. Moreover, spirit stones were of no use to him at the moment. It would be better to use them to raise his cultivation strength.

“The cultivation grounds have been settled. What’s left are two locations, the training grounds for Familiar Beasts and grounds for pill refinement.”

Just having spirit stones would not be enough for these two places. He would need other resources as well. However, Gu Xi was a little reluctant to use the resources on Sanqing Peak.

“It just so happens that according to the rules, I am not allowed to visit the Sect Leader and the elders of the various peaks–”

Gu Xi looked around, and he already had an idea in his mind.

...

Qingyun Peak, one of the twelve peaks.

The peak master was Wu Huaqing, who was good at alchemy. The disciples of this peak also focused on alchemy and used it to supply the daily pill needs of the sect.

Although his cultivation was at the average level of the sect, people were afraid of offending him due to his powerful alchemy skills. After all, if they were offended, it would also mean that the quality of the medicinal pills would be reduced.

Gu Xi had just arrived when he already smelled the faint medicinal fragrance in the air. He said in a clear voice, “Gu Xi is here to visit Elder Wu.”

Wu Huaqing was very enthusiastic when he saw Gu Xi’s arrival. “I’ve heard that the Sect Leader has accepted a First Personal Disciple. It’s said that your talent is extraordinary. You live up to your reputation.”

Wu Huaqing was not present at the disciple acceptance ceremony because he had gone out to search for precious medicinal herbs.

Gu Xi said humbly, “Elder Wu, what are you saying? I am indebted to the Sect Leader for his love, as well as his patience for my mistakes.”

Wu Huaqing sized up Gu Xi. He had also heard about his deeds previously. After all, Shen Tianyi had taken in very few disciples, and Gu Xi was the only one who had received such a grand treatment. Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something.

“I see a medicinal fragrance on your body. Could it be that you also refined pills?”

Gu Xi did not expect Wu Huaqing’s nose to be so sensitive. He must have smelled the medicinal pills that had been purified by the system previously. Previously, Gu Zhen’an had given him quite a number of medicinal pills, but after the system’s extraction, all of them had turned into grade 6 or 7 pills.

“I would not call it pill refining, just a fortuitous encounter.”

After saying that, he took out a porcelain bottle and placed it in front of Wu Huaqing. “If you don’t mind, I wish to gift these to you, Elder Wu.”

Wu Huaqing hurriedly opened it, and a peculiar fragrance immediately filled the room. With a cursory glance, he could tell that the grade of these medicinal pills was all above tier 6, and he was greatly astonished.

One had to know that there were not many medicinal pills of such good quality. Most importantly, these medicinal pills could be said to be perfect. He did not know what kind of pill forging method was used, and Wu Huaqing was eager to study them.

“How can I accept these? Logically speaking, I should be the one presenting you gifts on our first meeting. How can I be be so bold to accept gifts from a junior?”

“Please, just treat it as my filial piety.”

Seeing how generous Gu Xi was and how he was highly valued by Shen Tianyi, Wu Huaqing could not help but think of befriending him. The smile on his face became even more enthusiastic.
