Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1678: Chapter 852: We Know Now

”Did Elder Yue Xia send you?”

”Indeed.”

The shadowy figure nodded.

”Alright, we understand.

Thank you.”

Situ Qingfeng responded in a deep voice.

The shadowy figure said no more, nodded slightly at Situ Qingfeng, then his figure flickered, blending into the air, disappearing silently. Even as he left, he gently shut the door with a soft gust of wind, displaying great precision.

It was only after the figure completely vanished that Situ Qingfeng exhaled a long breath, cold sweat breaking out on his back.

”Sect Realm... definitely a strong cultivator of the Sect Realm! And definitely more than just an entry-level one!”

Situ Qingfeng was still shaken.

”If we had clashed earlier, even if I had instantly activated the Heavenly Demon Transformation, I probably wouldn’t have been his match... Nangong Yuexia’s subordinates truly are exceptional talents.”

He steadied himself, recalling the message from the figure, a hint of excitement and understanding flickered in his eyes. Nangong Yuexia instructed them to go tomorrow morning, the meaning was quite clear!

He immediately stood up and walked towards Gu Sheng’s room, wanting to share the good news with him, and discuss the plan for tomorrow.

However, just as his hand touched Gu Sheng’s door—

Buzz!

An invisible but incredibly strong airflow suddenly bounced back from the door, gently yet firmly pushing his hand away, preventing him from entering.

Situ Qingfeng was taken aback, and as he was wondering, Gu Sheng’s calm voice seemed to resonate directly within his mind, crystal clear.

”Since Nangong Yuexia has agreed to collaborate, come find me tomorrow morning.”

This voice wasn’t coming from inside the room, but rather directly echoed in his Sea of Consciousness, and it carried a unique rhythm, evidently a pre-set spiritual power message!

Situ Qingfeng instantly understood, his face showing a wry smile.

”This guy... so he had already anticipated two hours ago, when leaving the Purple Mist Residence, that Nangong Yuexia would agree to collaborate! He even predicted someone would come to deliver the message, and that I might come to find him, and thus set this spiritual power barrier and message...”

He looked at the closed door, seeming to isolate everything inside, shook his head helplessly, and murmured softly.

”Really... he anticipated everything. His strength I can’t match, his scheming is beyond mine as well. Being friends with him is really stressful... but whatever, he can’t harm me anyway, why should I worry? Less worries can extend my life.”

After a moment of self-mockery, Situ Qingfeng fully relaxed, returned to his room, no longer anxious, and began to peacefully adjust his breathing, awaiting the arrival of dawn.

...

Meanwhile, inside the room unknown to Situ Qingfeng.

Gu Sheng was sitting cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, with an invisible airflow slowly circulating around him, causing his robe to move without wind.

His breathing was long and deep, seemingly forming a perfect cycle with the nature’s spiritual energy around him.

Beside him, he was not alone. A delicate little girl, like a porcelain doll—Gu Ling’er, was also sitting cross-legged.

Her small face was serious, hands forming a peculiar handprint. Between her small palms, a gentle and pure milky white halo was slowly rotating and hovering.

This milky white halo seemed to be condensed and refined from the purest nature’s spiritual energy, exuding a refreshing aroma.

Gu Ling’er was meticulously guiding strands of the pure spiritual energy she had refined from the halo, like gently leading a stream, into Gu Sheng’s body, assisting his breathing and cultivation.

Inside the room, the spiritual energy was thick, a serene atmosphere, with only the invisible airflow and milky white halo quietly circulating.

In the room, Gu Sheng was sitting cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed in meditation, surrounded by an invisible airflow. The delicate Gu Ling’er also sat beside him, a milky white halo floating in front of her, she was channeling the pure spiritual energy refined from the halo to Gu Sheng.

As more of the pure spiritual energy flowed into him, Gu Sheng’s originally stable breath began to rise gradually, the sound of Qi-Blood coursing faintly audible within his body.

Suddenly, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth, with a teasing hint, sending a thought transmission to the fully focused little girl beside him.

”Ling’er, it seems this ’little quilt’ of mine has been letting the breeze in recently, your speed in refining spiritual energy is somewhat slower compared to before.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Ling’er’s small mouth immediately pouted, her big lively eyes glaring at Gu Sheng with displeasure, responding through thought transmission with a voice carrying a child’s clear and slightly aggrieved tone.

”Bad person! You don’t appreciate my goodwill! All this is painstakingly refined by me from all those chaotic spiritual energy and medicinal power, extracting the purest, fundamental Spiritual Mechanism for you! For your current body and cultivation, it’s a rare treasure! And you still complain it’s slow!”

Between her and Gu Sheng, there existed an incredibly mysterious soul origin bond, truly sharing glory and loss, their lives tightly intertwined. Because of this, she spared no effort in helping Gu Sheng increase his strength.

Gu Sheng naturally understood the key to this, and his earlier words were merely a jest.

He refocused, collecting his thoughts completely, concentrating on running his Cultivation Technique, guiding and refining the pure Spiritual Mechanism that Gu Ling’er transferred to him.

Time quietly slipped away.

No one knows how long it took, within Gu Sheng’s Qi Sea, the True Qi like a lake had filled to the brim, the sensation of swelling continuously emerging, as if something was about to break out of its cocoon. From the center of the True Qi lake, a low dragon’s roar faintly resonated, a phenomenon triggered by the purity and condensation of True Qi!
