Gu Xuan was sitting cross-legged on the futon, refining a Qi-nourishing pill. Wang Mang suddenly said: "I have woken up."

Gu Xuan looked overjoyed and immediately stopped the exercise: "Suddenly hearing the voice of senior, it was like meeting old friends again."

Wang Mang chuckled: "Haha, how long have I been asleep?"

"About fifteen months." Gu Xuan blurted out, "How strong is your soul now, senior?"

Wang Mang said: "I have refined the Yuanxiao ghost and replenished the soul of life. The strength of the Yuanxiao has returned to the late stage of the Gangli realm. If it encounters the invisibility that prevents the detection of telekinesis, I can easily see through it."

"Congratulations, senior." Gu Xuan smiled, "I have been in seclusion for more than a year. How is my cultivation now?"

"The soul has increased by at least two hundred points." Wang Mang used his telekinesis and observed Gu Xuan's lower dantian. "The strength has increased several times, exceeding the needs of the Taiyi Sutra. If you don't have the Misty Insect and Qi Nourishing Pill as a supplement, you will at least be here.

It takes five years of Qi-entraining practice to make such progress."

The misty insect had already flown back to the Fu Sheng Bag, and Gu Xuan sighed: "There is a huge gap between low-grade spiritual roots and middle-grade spiritual roots. Can the current strength be used with medium-grade patterned weapons?"

"That's okay. Your cultivation level has improved, but there is still a long way to go before the mid-term stage." Wang Mang paused slightly, "Has the explosive power been imbued with the power of the explosive power talisman?"

Gu Xuandao: "As long as you can use the middle-grade talisman, you can use conventional methods against mid-level monks in the future. Otherwise, you can't afford to lose the heavy treasure, and the explosive talisman has not yet been filled with power."

Wang Mang quickly suggested: "Based on your current state of cultivation, you already need to take Heyuan Dan, otherwise it will be difficult to coordinate the Gangli and the power of mind. Use up all the Gangli first, then take Heyuandan, and induce qi to restore Gangli. In this way

Come, the aura introduced will not be absorbed by the soul, and not only will the power be restored, but it will also gradually grow until it is in harmony with the power of thought."

"With senior's guidance, it turned out to be very smooth. If you just try to figure it out on your own, you will inevitably take detours." Gu Xuan smiled heartily, "While senior was sleeping, many things happened. I'm not happy about it."

Wang Mang pondered: "It seems that you have other experiences after leaving Prison Island. Let's talk about them."

Gu Xuan stood up, flexed his muscles, took a jar of spiritual wine, patted open the sealing mud, took a long sip, and then told everything about his recent experiences.

From the moment Wang Mang fell asleep to the time he left Pinghai City, Gu Xuan spoke eloquently and did not hide anything.

Wang Mang listened and thought, but never said a word. After Gu Xuan finished speaking, he said: "The experience is quite rich. It is not a loss to give Guan Sheng the dark beast's hairy wings. Since Master Wuhen practices the god-refining technique, he will meet again in the future."

If you go up, kill it. As for the unknown sword... its value may exceed my estimate."

Gu Xuan took out four small black swords and placed them on the stone platform: "Senior, let's take a look, are there any imitations?"

Wang Mang quickly used his telekinesis, observed carefully, and then said: "The third small sword from the left is exactly an imitation. What Guan Sheng said is true. The material and breath of the imitation small sword are indeed different. If I hadn't refined Yuan Xiao's ghost

, my mind power has increased, but I still can’t see the difference.”

Gu Xuan took the imitation small sword aside and said decisively: "This imitation small sword must have come from Xingfeng Island. As the senior said, the value of the unknown small sword is difficult to estimate. If it is not an imitation, it will only be given to five people.

A monk in the Gangli Realm is obviously too much of a child's play."

"That's very true." Wang Mang thought for a moment, "Let's re-examine the origin of the three small swords."

Gu Xuan answered: "The first handle was obtained from the belly bag of the Hundred Claw Demon, the second handle was obtained from Chu Xing's storage bag, and the third handle was obtained from Gong Sheng's storage bag."

Wang Mang analyzed: “Let’s not mention the hundred-clawed demon for now, Chu Xing was once

The ancient Xiu Cave Mansion obtained the method of refining the Soul Conjuring Banner, and Gong Sheng's Void Talisman is also an ancient talisman. The unknown small sword most likely only exists in the ancient Xiu Cave Mansion and ancient tombs, so the secret forces will have to spend a lot of time to find it."

"Since the little sword is related to the secret forces, we will find out in the future."

Gu Xuan put the original small sword into the wooden box and put it into the storage bag. The imitation sword was randomly put into the spare storage bag, and then took a deep breath.

"Senior, I have learned about the secret realm of Yinxu from Master Xiaoyao."

Wang Mang was not surprised: "Tell me and listen, don't miss anything."

Gu Xuan quickly detailed the conversation with Xiaoyao Sanren that day.

Wang Mang asked calmly: "How did you feel after listening to it?"

Gu Xuan showed a wry smile: "My heart is like a turbulent wave, and it is difficult to calm down."

Wang Mang said slowly: "Xiaoyao Sanren didn't hide anything. It was precisely because of the existence of the Yinxu Secret Realm that I originally suggested you to travel to Nanyang Realm. It's just that the Yinxu Secret Realm is related to the secrets of the Middle Ages and the third great catastrophe. For you,

It’s a lot of pressure, I wanted to wait until you were in the middle of your advancement before telling me.”

"Senior is interested." Gu Xuan suddenly looked solemn, "The mysterious colorful light also comes from the upper world. Is it related to the third catastrophe?"

"This..." Wang Mang pondered for a while, "I have limited knowledge and cannot answer at the moment."

Gu Xuan was not surprised: "I decided to fight for the Nether Mirror and enter the secret realm of Yin Ruins to hunt for treasures. I have been able to practice for less than twenty years. Is there a shortcut for improving my cultivation, senior?"

"There is an opportunity to advance to the magic realm in the Yinxu Secret Realm, which is very important for your cultivation, so you can't miss it." Wang Mang paused, "All shortcuts to cultivation are nothing more than plundering cultivation resources. This is also the normal practice of casual cultivators."

Gu Xuan thoughtfully said: "Senior, please speak clearly."

Wang Mang said: "For example, Xiaoyao Sanren used to make elixirs by himself. Whenever he needed elixirs but could not buy them, he would sneak into the Ling Sect and try to steal the elixirs. However, this is quite dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die.

.”

Gu Xuan nodded: "Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger, which is the same as the pursuit of treasure by casual cultivators."

Wang Mang continued: "I have thought that the most suitable shortcut for your cultivation is to find a spiritual stone vein, lurk in the vein to practice, and use the misty insects to mobilize the spiritual energy. If you absorb it with all your strength, you can quickly improve your cultivation."

"This is feasible." Gu Xuan's eyes lit up, "It is best to find mineral veins that are mined regularly. They only absorb the spiritual energy of the mineral veins and will not cause fluctuations in the spiritual energy of the sky. Where are the spiritual stone mineral veins?"

Wang Mang said slowly: "Several spirit stone veins in Nanyang are all occupied by major spirit sects. The one closest to the reef islands is on Yinchuan Island and is occupied by Kailing sect."

Gu Xuan took a sip of spiritual wine: "Senior, does he know the situation of Yinchuan Island and Kailingzong's mineral veins?"

"Yinchuan Island is about half the size of the Kingdom of Xi. There is no secular country, and the mortal city lords work on their own. In the world of cultivation, apart from many casual cultivators, there are three forces, namely Kailing Sect, Iron Demon Sect and Linchuan City. They are of equal strength and fight endlessly.

, casual cultivators are often affected.”

Gu Xuan listened carefully, and Wang Mang's voice continued to sound.

"I don't know much about the Kailingzong mineral veins. You can ask Xiaoyao Sanren. Considering that guy's character, he will not spread the word, but will praise him. It is quite risky to cultivate in the mineral veins. Once his whereabouts are exposed, you can

Ask for help from Xiaoyao Sanren."

"Just follow what the seniors said."

Gu Xuan was convinced, and he suddenly became enlightened about his future actions. He quickly put down the wine jar, sat cross-legged on the futon again, and took out the Gang Blast Talisman.

In the training room rented in Pinghai City, Gu Xuan has already practiced the Gang Explosion Talisman and can directly penetrate it into the Gang Qi.

Holding the Gang Explosion Talisman in his hand, Gu Xuan mobilized the Gang's power, and the Jingshu Gang pattern was transformed into Gang Qi, which was then penetrated into the jade talisman.

The Gang Explosive Talisman is like a bottomless pit, and its Gang power is continuously drained away.

Until every drop of the power is gone, there is nothing strange on the surface of the Gang Explosion Talisman. Only by exploring the power of thought can you feel a dangerous aura.

Wang Mang commented: "The power of the explosive talisman, which is concentrated with the five elements of power, is more powerful than the power of a single attribute."

"The Gang Explosion Talisman is similar to the Qi Explosion Pill, but it's a pity that it is an ancient talisman." Gu Xuan solemnly put away the Gang Explosion Talisman and took out a small jade bottle, "Senior, do you want to take the middle grade and Yuan Dan?"

"Just the lower-grade pills." Wang Mang said deeply, "You can take the middle-grade pills after you practice the god-refining technique."

Gu Xuan quickly took out a low-grade Heyuan Dan, threw it into his mouth, and then sent his thoughts to the Misty Insect.

"Acridine ah ah."

The misty insect fluttered its wings and flew out from the fusheng bag. It danced happily for several times before it began to mobilize the spiritual energy of the sky.

Gu Xuan only recovered his power, but did not enter meditation. His whole body was quickly enveloped by the billowing heavenly spiritual energy.

Wang Mang sighed: "It is indeed a misty insect. Such a speed of breathing is comparable to the Dharma Realm. Even high-grade spiritual roots cannot match it."

Restoring the power is much faster than practicing Qi-entraining. In just a few days, Gu Xuan recovered all his power.

The misty insect no longer mobilized the heavenly spirit energy, flew around happily for a few times, and then returned to the fusheng bag.

Gu Xuan began to operate the technique, and as Wang Mang said, the soul did not absorb the spiritual energy, and the power gradually increased.

When the power of mind and power are coordinated, the soul can continue to absorb spiritual energy, just like usual practice.

After only absorbing all the heavenly spiritual energy mobilized by the Misty Insect, Gu Xuan stopped practicing and recalled his conversation with Wang Mang.

"My life soul should stay in Anmingzhu, so that I can use my telekinesis more easily. What do you think, senior?"

Gu Xuan thought of the exchange meeting at Chunqiu Pavilion. If he used the power of secret thoughts, he could unscrupulously inspect other people's cultivation.

Wang Mang hurriedly said: "There is a drawback to this. After practicing the god-refining method, the soul can directly benefit by staying in the life-producing bead. If it stays in the dark and dark bead, the longevity will increase more slowly."

Gu Xuan's expression changed: "Senior, if you stay in the Breathing Pearl, can you recover faster?"

Wang Mang affirmed: "Yes."

Gu Xuan sighed softly: "Oh, this is not a drawback. The seniors should have made it clear when they were doing the sacrifice."

Wang Mang said happily: "As long as you practice the god-refining technique, I will recover sooner or later. There is no need to rush."

It is very easy to exchange places between Minghun and Wang Mang. There is no need to cast a spell at all, it can be done directly in the upper Dantian.

Wang Mang said: "There is no hidden danger in this move. If necessary in the future, it can be exchanged at any time."

Gu Xuan stood up, dismantled the Five Qi Riot Formation, deployed the Xutu Three Defense Formation, and prepared to go to Yinchuan Island.

As soon as they took out the jade bone boat, they saw a white cloud floating from the top of the main peak.

Gu Xuan quickly drove the jade bone boat and flew close to the clouds, and sure enough he saw Xiaoyao Sanren sitting cross-legged on the clouds.

After some greetings, Xiaoyaosanren said with great interest, "When Daoist Huang is practicing, the fluctuations in spiritual energy are not trivial."

Gu Xuan explained: "My spiritual root potential is low, and it is only because of a spirit-gathering bead that I can have such fluctuations in spiritual energy."
