Chapter 125: Disappearance

  Shen Xiang was only nineteen years old, but he could refine four kinds of low-grade spiritual pills. If he went to take the Danxiang Tower exam to obtain a dan-making master certification, he would definitely scare people off.

  Half a month has passed, and his injury has only improved a little. After all, the gas bladder and meridians in his body have suffered extremely serious injuries. Now it's just stabilizing the injury without further deterioration, and he only needs time to recover gradually.

  Originally, Shen Xiang's goal was to refine a mid-grade spiritual pill, and then go take the alchemy master assessment. Now he had made up his mind, he wanted to refine two high-grade spiritual pills and become a four-stage alchemy master!

  To know that his apprentice, Yao Hai Sheng, was only a third-level alchemist, and the difference between a fourth-level alchemist and a third-level one was like heaven and earth. Among them, refining two kinds of high-grade spiritual pills was extremely difficult, not everyone could grasp the key like Shen Xiang did after refining ten or twenty times.

  Shen Xiang heard that some alchemists had failed hundreds of times when learning to refine the True Yuan Pill, and this was still a relatively good situation. Some alchemists even spent their entire lives trying but were unable to successfully refine the True Yuan Pill.

  In the blink of an eye, Shen Xiang had been recuperating for two months. He had now successfully refined mid-grade Spirit-level Explosive Gas Pills and Detoxification Pills!

  The Explosive Elixir contains a large amount of violent true energy. After taking it, the true energy can be released immediately, and the released true energy is extremely violent. However, when flowing through the human body, it will not cause harm to the person. This is a kind of elixir that allows oneself to temporarily increase their strength, making it very popular. Even if one's own true energy is exhausted, taking an Explosive Elixir can still release a powerful move.

  In battle, one more move can make a big difference!

  Detoxification Dan is a detoxifying dan medicine that produces a special medicinal power and true energy, rapidly decomposing the toxins in the body into urine or sweat, which is expelled from the body. When going out to hunt and kill demonic beasts, one will often encounter poisonous weeds or highly toxic demonic beasts, and carrying one or two Detoxification Dans can also make people feel much more at ease.

  Refining these two kinds of spiritual middle-grade pills allowed him to accumulate even richer pill-refining experience, laying the foundation for refining high-grade pills.

  ……

  Shen Xiang went missing for two months, and after his escape, he did not return to Taiwu Gate. Gu Dongchen and Wu Kaoming of Taiwu Gate secretly sent people to find this little Shishu, although they found it difficult to accept that their little Shishu was a young whippersnapper, but after all, he was still their Shishu, and they attached great importance to seniority.

  "This kid won't die, will he? If Master or Old Man Feng finds out later, it's going to be a huge mess!" Wu Kaoming said anxiously.

  "According to the news that came back, he escaped, but for two months there was no sign of him, it's very likely that he was recovering from his injuries! Liao Shaoyun, this little devil, actually dared to do such a thing, I remember that a hundred years ago he had once provoked me, if you hadn't stopped me at the time, I would have slapped him to death with one palm." Gu Dongchen's face was filled with anger, looking at his expression, he couldn't wait to go to Zhen Wu Men and slap Liao Shaoyun to death.

  Wu Kaoming said, "Headmaster, Liao Shaoyun is the treasure of Zhenwu Sect. At just 300 years old, he has reached the Hundred Refinements Realm and will soon begin his Nirvana. By then, he will be the fastest person to enter the Nirvana Realm since ancient times."

  "It's useless to try, can't even withstand the tribulation of rebirth, even a genius is nothing but crap." Gu Dongchen looked out the window, his eyes flickering: "I have to go to Beast Martial Gate once, and let that guy withdraw the bounty on Shen Xiang, otherwise the kid will have more troubles in the future."

  "The Beast Martial Gate has just promoted three Nirvana realm warriors, and they're making steady progress against our Taiwu Gate. This matter was originally their fault to begin with, yet they still have the audacity to put a bounty on Shen Xiang!" Wu Kaoming said indignantly.

  "They know that the three of us are about to face our tribulation, and they want to take advantage of our focus on the tribulation to seize the position of the first door of Chenwu. And Zhenwumen seems to be making a move too." Gu Dongchen's expression was serious.

  Nirvana realm has nine great calamities. When the strength is improved to a certain extent, the great calamity will come. Every time you pass through a great calamity, you can gain stronger power. Similarly, the future great calamity will be more terrifying. Many famous geniuses in history were all annihilated in the Nirvana nine calamities. Only ancient Dongchen and Wu Kaoming, this kind of thick foundation old guys, can survive again and again in the great calamity.

  "Third Sister is also nowhere to be found, saying she's in seclusion, but she's not seen in the Mystic Realm either. She's been mysterious all day long. However, the Taiwu Sect has relied on her to refine so many good elixirs over the years." Gu Dongchen sighed helplessly, as truly exceptional alchemists were indeed too rare.

  "Yes, she originally had a great chance of becoming the Dan King, but who knew that under the Nirvana Tribulation, she suffered serious injuries, causing her Purple Moon Fire Soul to weaken. Now she can't even return to the Purple Moon Realm to repair it, what a pity!" Wu Kaoming sighed.

  Shen Xiang had always thought that Dan Changlao was a Dan Wang, but unexpectedly he was just like Su Meiyao, only a Dan Zong, but this was also quite impressive.

  Shen Xiang, hiding in the cave, did not know that millions of people were looking for him. Most of them came for the bounty, as they learned that Shen Xiang had escaped with serious injuries. Whoever caught Shen Xiang would receive a reward of 200,000 crystal stones!

  The bounty on Beast Martial Gate has been increased again, and this was after Gu Dongchen went to Beast Martial Gate. The purpose is very clear, it's deliberately provoking Taiwu Gate and not giving Gu Dongchen face.

  The Beast Martial Sect and the Taiwu Sect have had a deep grudge for a long time, because Huang Jintian once killed the leader of the Beast Martial Sect. Just this point alone makes their hatred irreconcilable.

  Gu Dongchen also made a ruthless statement, saying that anyone who kills Shen Xiang with overwhelming strength and goes to collect the reward will become the number one archenemy of Taiwu Gate. At that time, all the elders of Taiwu Gate will take action and capture the person, torturing them to death!

  Taiwu Gate's elders, that was an extremely powerful force, and who all knew that Gu Dongchen would never speak empty words, he would do as he said! Others thought Gu Dongchen was secretly fighting with Beast Martial Gate, but didn't know it was to make his younger master uncle safer.

  For the past two months, Shen Xiang has not only been studying alchemy but also refining a large number of True Qi Pills, totaling over 1,000 pills. These are what he plans to sell, as all the ones he previously obtained have already been consumed. He needs a sum of crystal stones to purchase a large quantity of high-grade spiritual medicine to refine pills, because every time he tries to refine high-grade spiritual pills, they all end in failure!

  "Now start refining the Foundation Building Pill, the difficulty of refining the Foundation Building Pill is the same as that of the Spirit Grade Top-grade Pill. You don't have any other materials for the Spirit Grade Top-grade Pill in your hands, so learn to refine the Foundation Building Pill. If you succeed, then you can quickly enter the True Martial Realm!" Su Mei Yao said.

  Shen Xiang's heart skipped a beat, but he was also somewhat reluctant to part with it. The materials for the foundation-building pill were extremely expensive, and if he failed several times, his heart would bleed.

  "What's there to fear? The Millennium Beast Dan isn't a must-have, if you don't have it, just go hunt for demonic beasts and find ones with demon dan, that'll do. Demon dan can substitute for the Millennium Beast Dan, as for other medicinal materials, with your Dragon Saliva Skill, what is there to be afraid of?" Su Meiyao continued saying.
