Doupo: Rebirth of Gu He, Starting with a Strategy to Win Over Yun Yun

Chapter 142 The Bloodbath Caused by the Earth’s Core Soul MarrowGu He stepped into the black hole and, shortly after, appeared on a patch of green land surrounded by birdsong, fragrant flowers, and lush grass.

It was unexpectedly a beautiful and peaceful little prairie.

”Is this the Pill World?”

Gu He looked around and saw the silhouette of a mountain range in the distance.

He could not help but mutter to himself, ”The energy here is abundant, but also very violent. Could this be the reason for the Pill World’s decline?”

Creating space requires the power of a Dou Sheng, as well as long-term maintenance.

Gu He dismissed the thought and looked at his sheepskin medicine list—he had to find all the medicinal ingredients to pass the trial.

”The Pill Tower is quite clever, treating the contestants as laborers to find medicinal ingredients. Tsk!”

Gu He discovered that his herbs were all clustered together, located in the harsh, swampy area.

However...

As space rippled and dozens of figures appeared out of thin air, Gu He felt movement beneath his feet.

Was the lawn shifting?

Gu He launched an attack directly.

The turf shattered, and countless grass fragments flew everywhere.

”Bang!”

A massive python, over ten zhang long, shot out from underground like lightning.

Gu He focused his gaze and reacted swiftly.

A powerful streak of golden Qi surged from Gu He’s palm and struck the python’s head fiercely.

The immense force caused the python’s head to emit a muffled thud before exploding.

The python was sent flying, and a sunken pit immediately appeared beneath the sand dunes.

In the pit, a deep yellow root about the size of a child’s head entered Gu He’s vision, but immediately after, three people who had just been teleported to this prairie also saw this scene.

Two of them frowned and glanced at Gu He but did not move, while a burly man in front of them swung his iron rod and strode over.

”Earth Yellow Python, Earth Yellow Essence.” A dense gleam flashed in the burly man’s eyes.

A hundred-year-old Earth Yellow Essence is usually only the size of a fist and is very rare.

However, surprisingly, the Earth Yellow Essence in this Pill World had grown to such a massive scale, having experienced at least a thousand years of time.

If this thing were placed outside, it would definitely attract many greedy gazes.

The burly man was naturally attracted; he swung his iron rod, chuckled, and looked at Gu He.

”Brother, could you step aside?”

Although he said that, his smile suddenly turned ferocious.

”Die!”

The previous sentence was just to make Gu He lower his guard.

Gu He remained motionless, looking as if he had been frightened silly in the burly man’s eyes. But in an instant, before the man’s zhang-long refined steel rod could hit Gu He’s head, a thick blast of Qi, like a thunderbolt, struck his waist.

”Bang!!”

The burly man’s massive body was sent flying backward by Gu He like a cannonball.

He flew nearly a hundred meters, grazing the ground like a broken, crushed leaf, which also caused the pupils of the other two Alchemists who did not know him to shrink in shock.

”Damn!”

”Good thing I didn’t go to snatch it!”

”Should we... just leave? Our herbs aren’t here anyway, otherwise we might be misunderstood later...”

”Let’s go, let’s go!”

...

The burly man lay on the ground as if he had no breath left.

Gu He stepped on the Void Realm, flew up, and looked down at the burly man. He spoke calmly, his voice amplified by Qi, resounding across the prairie.

”Stop pretending to be dead.”

”I’ll give you a chance: crush your jade stone and teleport out, and I will spare your life.”

”As a Dou Huang, you should have some sense.”

The burly man’s heart jumped violently.

Stepping on the Void Realm, a Dou Zun Experts...

He was usually rough, and his brain had been clouded by seeing the Earth Yellow Essence. His greed had overtaken him, and he hadn’t realized that the person who found it was so powerful...

The burly man wiped his face, holding his injured waist, and at this moment, he crushed the jade stone on his body without hesitation.

The moment before he was teleported out, he was still thinking:

Fortunately, fortunately this expert didn’t kill him.

The burly man was only at the Dou Huang level. At first, he only noticed that Gu He had hidden his aura and did not pay attention to Gu He’s mystery.

But in that moment on the verge of life and death, he finally realized.

Of course, even if he was teleported out, he didn’t know that Gu He wasn’t actually a Dou Zong, but a Dou Zun Experts...

A Dou Zun Experts can be so mysterious that it is impossible to guess, and can even pretend to be an ordinary person, hiding his aura so he blends in with the crowd, looking like an ordinary expert. It was simple for Gu He to pretend to be a Dou Zong.

Moreover, the Pill Tower’s checkpoint did indeed suppress Gu He’s cultivation level a bit.

Gu He returned to the spot where he dug out the Earth Yellow Essence.

He had average interest in the Earth Yellow Essence, but he had seen in an ancient book in the Cloud Mist Sect’s Dou Technique Pavilion—

Earth Yellow Essence is born from the condensation of the earth’s power.

But after a hundred years, the Earth Yellow Essence saturates and stops growing, so Earth Yellow Essence over a hundred years old is very rare.

The ancient book records that if an Earth Yellow Essence can exceed a hundred years, then what nourishes it must be other rare treasures of heaven and earth!

Gu He saw at a glance that there was something else nourishing this thousand-year Earth Yellow Essence underground.

He clenched his palm, and a suction force surged, throwing the soil aside.

Half a quarter of an hour later, under Gu He’s digging, a low, muffled sound came from the soft ground.

Gu He leaped into the deep pit.

A fish-green flame rose, illuminating the deep pit like daylight.

Inside, a snow-white jade stone was revealed. Gu He could not help but narrow his eyes.

”This is... Earth Heart Jade Mother? Rare indeed!”

Gu He himself had quite a bit of Opportunity and luck.

The Earth Heart Jade Mother is a magical jade formed by the power of the earth condensing over countless years, which is very precious to those who Cultivate.

Using the Earth Heart Jade Mother can suppress the violent energy in the body and reduce the chance of Qi Deviation.

Undoubtedly, this was a good thing.

But immediately after, Gu He discovered something unusual. He reached out and tapped the jade plate.

”Mucus?!”

White mucus stuck to his hand, emitting pure energy fluctuations.

”It has actually produced earth core soul marrow. No wonder the Pill World is the heaven of Alchemists.”

The earth core soul marrow is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, which is very attractive to Alchemists because it can train the Soul.

For Gu He at this stage, it was of great use, at least it could make his Soul Realm more solid and fortified.

Gu He quickly finished collecting the earth core soul marrow and prepared to leave, but suddenly his footsteps paused.

”Come out.”

”Hiding and sneaking around, what’s the difference between you and a rat in a sewer?”

Several wrinkles flashed in the Void Realm, and an old man in yellow clothes walked out slowly.

”Hehehe... you really discovered me.”

A faint coldness mixed in the corners of his mouth.

”Old man Huang Yi, I wonder if you have heard of my name?”

”Hehe, I know you are also a Dou Zong, so I don’t want to rob you by force. You share half of the earth core soul marrow with me, and I will let you leave.”

Want to pass through here? Leave the toll money?

Gu He sneered coldly. The earth core soul marrow had already been packed in a box and put into his storage ring; it was impossible to take it out for no reason.

His black robe fluttered in the wind, revealing a hint of dashing spirit. ”I know of weasels, but Huang Yi? Never heard of it.”

”You, who are you supposed to be?”
