Nowadays, the popularity of Jian Feng has improved compared to the past. With the addition of Gu Yao and the other three people, some came admiring Chi Changye's amazing swordsmanship, while others joined for Gu Yao's alchemy skills, making Jian Feng no longer so excluded by others.Gu Yao regularly contributes a portion of his elixirs to Jian Feng at an internal price, which has become an important reason for students to join Jian Feng. There are also several alchemists who were rejected by Dan Feng but were accepted after applying and being decided by Gu Yao.When he has free time, he will also give guidance to Er, or let them observe his own alchemy. As a result, the alchemy skills of those alchemists have significantly improved, and the elixirs they produce are also sent to Gu Chi's shop. Although the quality is not as good as those personally refined by Gu Yao, the price and quality are equal, and there is a certain market in Tianfu Academy, with no shortage of buyers.This is also the purpose of Gu Yao's decision to absorb these alchemists. The shop cannot rely solely on him and Chi Changye to support it, especially when it comes to elixirs. If he spends a long time refining outside, wouldn't the shop have to close? He can't let a shop hinder his and Chi Changye's progress, so it is necessary to expand the source of goods.In addition to cultivating alchemists, Gu Yao also had Tian Feirong and Xiaopangzi recruit several talisman masters, signing employment contracts. With the condition that internal personnel can purchase elixirs at internal prices, it was enough to persuade the talisman masters in the academy to join. As a result, the quantity of goods in Gu Chi's shop increased significantly.During this period, Gu Yao was in seclusion, and Chi Changye also entered Jian Ge to challenge. When Gu Yao finished his seclusion, he found that Chi Changye had not come out yet. After dealing with his own affairs, he couldn't help but worry and sat outside Jian Ge guarding.After entering Jian Feng, he understood what kind of situation Jian Ge was. However, after understanding the general situation, Gu Yao became more suspicious of the origin of Jian Ge. When he first heard the name Jian Ge, he mentioned it to Senior Xu Chen, saying that Jian Ge wouldn't be a similar existence to Dan Ge. At that time, Xu Chen denied it, but now it seems that even if it is not the same level of existence, it also has an extraordinary origin.Anyone who enters Jian Ge needs to pass through each level, and the first level of Jian Ge requires foundational strength. The high starting point is one of the reasons that scares away many cultivators, and once you enter, there is no reason to quit halfway. There are only two results, either successfully pass the challenge or fail. The consequences for the failed challengers depend on the process of the challenge, so those who are not confident dare not easily enter.
It is said that the dean only succeeded in passing the _th level and had a significant encounter inside. Shortly after coming out, he successfully formed a pill, which attracted many cultivators who wanted to challenge it. However, none of them had the dean's good luck. Later, the dean entered the Sword Pavilion again, but failed to pass the second level. After that, the dean went into seclusion for a long time. According to speculations from some people, during that time, the dean might have suffered serious injuries and needed to recuperate. It is unknown whether the outside world took advantage of the dean's injury to suppress the Tianfu Academy.Based on these two points, Gu Yao can determine that the Sword Pavilion is extraordinary. However, the Sword Pavilion is heavily guarded, and ordinary cultivators cannot approach it without special tokens or the ability to open the path with sword energy. Gu Yao can only stand outside the restrictions and look from afar."Don't worry, Senior Chi should be able to pass the level successfully," Shi Yanyan said dryly. She never comforts others, and in the past two years, she has rarely communicated with others while guarding outside the Sword Pavilion. She doesn't know how to say anything comforting.She envies and is jealous of Gu Yao and Chi Changye. If she had their strength and potential, she might have a chance for revenge. However, because neither of them has shown any interest in her after meeting, she is considered a normal junior sister. Shi Yanyan, who has experienced so much, is quite grateful. In her opinion, if even Chi Changye cannot pass the level successfully, then no one in the Tianlin Continent can.Gu Yao smiled and said, "I also believe in him."
Because of belief, everyone closes their own doors.Xu Chen sighed in the ancient remote sea, this was his second time observing the Sword Pavilion from afar with Gu Yao. He didn't expect Gu Yao to guess correctly. This Sword Pavilion had an extraordinary origin, and the second time he felt was not shallower than the first time.Xu Chen said, "I have an idea."Gu Yao curiously asked, "What is it?"Xu Chen guessed, "I'm thinking that this Sword Pavilion may not be complete. Compared to the Pill Pavilion, you see, the Pill Pavilion starts from the Qi Refining stage and climbs up layer by layer. But this Sword Pavilion requires a Foundation Building sword cultivator to have a chance of successfully passing the trial. Perhaps it lacks that most basic layer, the accumulation and training of the Qi Refining stage, making the second level of the trial even more difficult."Gu Yao thought it made a lot of sense. Taking the Pill Pavilion as an example, if he had skipped the first level of the Pill Pavilion and directly entered the second level, he would probably have been rejected by the Pill Pavilion and needed a long time to catch up on the necessary knowledge. How much effort and energy would he need to put in?If that's the case, it's easy to understand why the trial of the Sword Pavilion is so difficult. Gu Yao couldn't help but worry, "Is Brother Ye okay?"Xu Chen rolled his eyes, "You underestimate him. He was originally a sword cultivator and should have undergone many trials in his previous sect. There are inheritances related to sword cultivation on this Sword Peak. Besides this Sword Pavilion, what else can compare to what Chi Changye possesses? Just rest assured, his sword intent is pure and solid. He should gain a lot from this trip. This kid is really lucky."Look, they thought they had fallen into a place with scarce cultivation resources, but who could have expected that not only did they encounter Gu Yao diligently treating his internal injuries, but they also encountered the existence of the Sword Pavilion. Breaking through and establishing oneself, this kid's future achievements will surpass the past.Gu Yao felt happy when he heard this. It was definitely a good thing for Chi Changye to gain something. However, the gap between himself and Chi Changye seemed to be widening instead of narrowing. It seemed that he had to work even harder. The ninth level of Qi Refining was far from enough.Xu Chen rolled his eyes again. This foolish kid, he rubbed his chin and said, "Because I am an alchemist, I didn't bother to understand much about sword cultivation. But as far as I know, the place I came from also has many sacred places for sword cultivation. If there is a chance, I will let Chi Changye try to see if he can subdue the Sword Pavilion. If it is a similar existence to the Pill Pavilion, then he can go further on the path of sword cultivation."When they were in the small secret realm before, when Xu Chen saw Chi Changye unleash that sword, even though his cultivation level had dropped, the sword intent and destructive power contained in that sword surpassed what Xu Chen had seen from Chi Changye before. From this, it could be seen that he had obtained something really good.Gu Yao was stunned, then said, "If there is a chance, I will try to talk to Brother Ye." It would be too abrupt to bring it up now, and if this Sword Pavilion is really incomplete, how can it be subdued?Because of Xu Chen's words, Gu Yao felt more at ease. He decided to stay outside and wait, reading books calmly and occasionally refining a few furnaces of pills, organizing the research insights from before.
He didn't rush to build the foundation, but wanted to refine an upgraded version of the transformation elixir before building the foundation. This would not only increase the success rate of building the foundation, but also make the spiritual power more solid after building the foundation.He also knew from Chi Changye that there was a difference between cultivators of the same level. Those foundation-building cultivators who barely relied on elixirs to build their foundation had no chance against Chi Changye who had just built his foundation.Shi Yanyan saw this and didn't disturb Gu Yao. She also practiced swordsmanship or meditation on the side. The broken limbs and meridians had already been reconnected.Elsewhere, Elder Yi and the rarely seen Dean Yu also came to observe from time to time, but they did not show themselves. Now that someone had broken into the Sword Pavilion again, how could they not be nervous? According to Dean Yu, he thought that Chi Changye should wait a few more years before breaking into the Sword Pavilion. It was too early now, but this was Chi Changye's own decision and he couldn't stop him.On this day, the two of them came to the Sword Pavilion one after the other, but there was still no movement inside. Elder Yi couldn't help but worry. Chi Changye was the best sword cultivator genius he had seen in recent years. He was even better than the former dean. He couldn't guide him in anything. If such a genius was damaged because of the Sword Pavilion, the loss would be too great."Dean, will Chi Changye...sigh, I should have stopped him earlier." Elder Yi regretted.Dean Yu shook his head and said, "This child is determined and not an ordinary person. You can't stop him. He should know his injuries best. He must think he can go in. Don't forget, he was also a sword cultivator who had built the foundation with elixirs. Even if he is only in the middle stage of foundation building, he is not necessarily weaker than someone who has built the foundation to great success."Only cultivators who had built the foundation with elixirs would know the difference between building the foundation and forming the core. It was a huge change. Even though Chi Changye's cultivation had fallen back to the foundation building stage, his mindset and comprehension as a golden core cultivator had not been lost. His use of spiritual power and sword qi was far beyond what a foundation building cultivator could compare to. Therefore, although Dean Yu was worried, he still had high hopes for Chi Changye."I hope so, as the Dean said." Elder Yi sighed and said, "But this Gu Yao is a man of loyalty and righteousness. He has been guarding here since he came out of seclusion. If it weren't for his elixir skills, Chi Changye wouldn't have recovered so quickly."Therefore, Elder Yi's impression of Gu Yao continued to rise and he grew to like him more and more.Dean Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Hu Guzhu also entrusted me to take care of Gu Yao. Even if he didn't say so, I would do it." With Gu Yao here, the actions of the Dan Peak were also more restrained than before. Competition brought pressure.The two of them chatted leisurely, but suddenly Dean Yu's expression changed and he quickly stood up and looked towards the Sword Pavilion. At the same time, Gu Yao, who had a sense of intuition, walked out of the wooden house where he was resting. He had a feeling that Chi Changye was about to come out.At this moment, a powerful and sharp sword qi rose to the sky. Dean Yu's eyes flashed with joy. He quickly threw out several jade talismans, and all the prohibition formations around the Sword Pavilion were opened, layer by layer, covering up the anomalies that had occurred here.Dean Yu's eyes revealed joy.
