Chapter 17 Xiao Lin's Discovery
Gu Yan is a transmigrator, and his soul power far surpasses that of his peers, yet he still hasn't stepped into the mortal realm.
At this moment, with the help of the Spirit-Nourishing Powder and the "Spirit Gathering and Soul Forging Technique," he finally stepped into the mortal realm.
Moreover, he even stepped into the mid-stage of the mortal realm in one fell swoop!
The four realms of the soul are further divided into four stages.
Early stage, middle stage, late stage, and Great Perfection.
The higher the level, the greater the gap between them.
Actually, it's a bit wasteful for Gu Yan to use Spirit-Nourishing Powder now, because in those ancient times, only some alchemists who were about to touch the Spirit Realm would try to obtain Spirit-Nourishing Powder to help their souls break through.
Undoubtedly, they are all soul masters who have reached the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm.
Gu Yan, who has not yet entered the mortal realm, obviously cannot effectively utilize this Spirit-Nourishing Powder.
Therefore, after staring at the remaining two grains of Pregnancy Spirit Powder for a moment, Gu Yan decided to save them for later use.
With a light breath, Gu Yan tried circulating his cultivation technique and indeed found that he felt much closer to the energy of the surrounding world.
"His cultivation speed has increased more than two or three times!"
Gu Yan quickly entered a state of complete cultivation.
Until nightfall.
When Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes, he was immediately stunned.
Xiao Lin was standing in the room with his legs straight, making a "follow me" gesture.
Immediately afterwards, it darted out the door at an extremely fast speed.
"What's going on?"
Gu Yan scratched his head, but still immediately followed.
"It's the middle of the night, so it's best not to let anyone find out." Gu Yan spread his soul power, bypassed the clansmen on night watch, leaped over the Gu family wall, and chased after Xiao Lin.
What exactly did Xiao Lin discover?
Why are you rushing out like that?
Before long, the beast and the man scaled the walls of Gulang City and continued on their way.
"This direction... is it the Ancient Cloud Mountains?"
Gu Yan frowned slightly. What was Xiao Lin doing there?
Without time to think it through, Gu Yan could only follow closely.
Gu Yan chased after Xiao Lin for two full hours until he arrived deep in the Ancient Cloud Mountains.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin was there, and the magical beasts of the Ancient Cloud Mountains stayed far away, so they did not cause any obstacles.
You should know that there are fourth-tier magical beasts here.
They were simply beyond Gu Yan's ability to handle.
Finally, Xiao Lin stopped.
Ahead was a steep cliff.
Gu Yan walked to Xiao Lin's side and saw that Xiao Lin was looking up at a certain spot on the cliff.
"Xiao Lin, what did you find?"
Xiao Lin glanced at Gu Yan, nodded slightly, and then looked up at that spot.
Gu Yan frowned slightly and looked in that direction as well.
It was several dozen feet above the ground, just an ordinary cliff face with nothing special about it.
However, seeing Xiao Lin staring intently at that spot, Gu Yan had no choice but to wait patiently.
Time passed slowly, and the place remained ordinary, unchanged.
Just as Gu Yan was about to ask a question, a ray of light suddenly flashed across the cliff face.
Upon noticing this, Gu Yan's gaze suddenly sharpened.
Is there really something strange about this place?
He looked at Xiao Lin, who was still staring intently at that spot.
Gu Yan shook his head helplessly and could only continue to wait.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and finally the cliff face changed.
An invisible light barrier crumbled inch by inch, revealing a dark cave inside.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Is this Xiao Lin's discovery?
That must be a barrier?
It was preserved for many years, but it finally shattered tonight.
"Is there treasure inside? But it's so high up..."
Before Gu Yan could finish speaking, he saw Xiao Lin roll her eyes at him.
The next moment, he suddenly remembered that he could fly!
So he gave an awkward laugh.
Xiao Lin sighed helplessly and jumped onto Gu Yan's shoulder.
Gu Yan unfurled his purple cloud wings and flew upwards.
Because he hadn't used it many times yet, he was swaying unsteadily and it took him a long time to fly to the cave entrance.
Upon landing at the cave entrance, a skeleton came into view, with a collapsed sternum and a broken femur clearly visible to the naked eye.
Gu Yan took out the moonstone and illuminated the cave.
He instantly saw several lines of text carved on the cave wall behind him.
"My name is Venerable Qingyuan, the sect leader of Qingyuan Sect in Zhongzhou. I have come here to search for treasures because ancient ruins have appeared in the southeast region."
"I was lucky enough to obtain two ancient scrolls, but the people who came to seize this opportunity were too crazy and too powerful. In the end, I fled with the treasures, severely injured."
"I was overjoyed, thinking I could master the divine skill, but I never expected that those people would leave hidden energy in my body and tamper with it."
"Knowing that I was doomed, I used up all my cultivation to destroy the hands and feet they left behind, and finally came to this cave."
"Since I cannot cultivate this divine skill, they should not try either!"
Upon seeing this, Gu Yan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, expressing his sincere admiration for this Venerable Qingyuan.
"Those who come after me and obtain these two ancient scrolls that I risked my life to retrieve must cherish them."
"Otherwise, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
As he read to the end, Gu Yan's lips twitched slightly.
This Venerable Qingyuan is truly a man of deep feeling.
He looked into the hands of the withered bones.
He held an ancient scroll in each hand, both imbued with the scent of time.
Gu Yan bowed respectfully to the skeleton before picking up the two ancient scrolls.
As the first ancient scroll was slowly unfurled, Gu Yan's eyes widened instantly.
Seven large, golden characters came into view.
"An immortal and indestructible golden body?!"
Gu Yan glanced at it briefly, and his heart suddenly raced.
This is actually a secret body-refining technique!
Moreover, it is enough to be ranked among the advanced Heavenly Rank!
No wonder this Venerable Qingyuan was driven to a dead end.
Gu Yan looked at Xiao Lin and gave it a thumbs up.
Xiao Lin looked very pleased.
Gu Yan opened another ancient scroll. With the first scroll as a mental preparation, his expression was much calmer this time.
However, the four characters on it still excited him.
"The Supreme Mystery Elixir Scripture!"
Judging from the description, it seems to be a record of alchemy experience by a peak eighth-grade alchemist, which also includes several pill formulas.
However, this is clearly not something Gu Yan can touch right now.
Both of these ancient scrolls are extraordinary.
Gu Yan couldn't help but give Xiao Lin a thumbs up again.
After staring at the skeleton for a long time, Gu Yan decided to let it rest in peace.
After everything was over, he looked at Xiao Lin and said, "Let's go back."
Xiao Lin nodded gently and leaped onto Gu Yan's shoulder.
Gu Yan flew away towards the outside of the Ancient Cloud Mountain Range.
Soon they arrived at the wide avenue outside.
The sky in the distance was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.
"I didn't expect it to be dawn already." Gu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there was Xiao Lin, otherwise we would have missed out on this immense wealth.
Whether it's the Immortal Golden Body or the Tai Xuan Dan Scripture, both are extremely valuable items.
The mere titles of advanced Heaven-rank and peak Rank 8 alchemist are enough to attract even a Dou Sheng powerhouse!
Just as Gu Yan was getting closer and closer to the city gate, seven figures suddenly emerged from the nearby jungle.
