Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1547

Chapter 1547: Chapter 796: Please Elaborate (Part 2)

Gu Sheng’s forehead was dotted with cold sweat... These hundred High-grade Spirit Stones were incredibly valuable, enough to incite fights among small sects, yet they only managed to repair less than a tenth of the cracks on the surface of the Spiritual Embryo.

"Not enough! Far from enough!"

Yue Shen Gong said anxiously.

"The Spiritual Embryo is nurturing some existence and requires an immense amount of energy!"

Gu Sheng’s eyes were filled with a fierce determination.

He suddenly slapped his Storage Ring, and instantly, three thousand High-grade Spirit Stones poured out like a waterfall, piling into a small mountain on the floor of the Alchemy Room.

The Nine Dragon Heaven and Earth Technique was pushed to its limits, and nine Spiritual Energy dragons flew out from his palm, frantically devouring the Spirit Stone energy.

The cracking sound of Spirit Stones exploding was as dense as popping beans, and the entire Alchemy Room was shrouded in a rich fog of Spiritual Energy.

Spiritual Energy began seeping out from Gu Sheng’s seven orifices, his body like a balloon over-inflated, and his meridians conveyed a tearing pain.

But he dared not stop, for the Spiritual Embryo in his Sea of Consciousness finally started to stabilize, with the cracks on its surface healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Good lad!"

Yue Shen Gong exclaimed in admiration.

"A normal Golden Core cultivator would have been burst open; your nine Grotto Heavens are indeed extraordinary!"

Gu Sheng had no time to respond.

All his focus was on controlling the conversion of Spiritual Energy, with the nine Grotto Heavens spinning rapidly, channeling the violent Spiritual Energy into gentle energy.

The Spiritual Embryo devoured like a bottomless pit, gradually emitting a hazy glow.

Three hours passed, and as the last Spirit Stone crumbled into powder, Gu Sheng was drenched in sweat.

The floor of the Alchemy Room was covered in a thick layer of Spirit Stone powder, making a faint "rustle" sound when stepped on.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the Spiritual Embryo finally ceased absorbing, the surface cracks completely disappearing, replaced by a layer of crystal-clear shell like jade.

Through the translucent shell, the faint sight of a mass of red and blue intertwined light slowly pulsing, like a heart, could be seen.

"This is..."

Gu Sheng approached with his Divine Sense, feeling an unprecedented wave of life energy.

Yue Shen Gong’s Shadow circled the Spiritual Embryo, clicking his tongue in wonder.

"Incredible! The Spiritual Embryo is birthing some life form, and the residual soul of the Southern Emperor’s Holy Daughter seems to have seamlessly merged with it."

Gu Sheng attempted to probe with his Divine Sense but was blocked by the shell.

Strangely, he sensed a faint sense of closeness from the Spiritual Embryo, as if the being inside shared a blood bond with him.

In the Alchemy Room, Gu Sheng looked at the charred remains in the Pill Furnace and shook his head helplessly.

This was his seventh attempt to refine the ’Nine Revolutions Concentration Pill,’ and each time he failed at the critical moment of pill condensation.

"It seems the control of the fire is still not precise enough."

Gu Sheng sighed lightly and waved his hand, the remaining dregs in the Pill Furnace turned into fine ash and gently scattered like the first snow of winter, slowly blanketing the Alchemy Room.

However, he remained calm since the path of Alchemy is inherently full of uncertainties, and failure is common.

Gu Sheng slowly stood up, brushed the ash off his robe, preparing to leave this already disordered Alchemy Room.

"Creak..."

At this moment, the Alchemy Room door was pushed open from the outside.

A girl wearing a light purple long dress, rubbing her eyes, walked in, her hair slightly tousled, corners of her eyes carrying a hint of weariness, evidently just awakened.

"Gu Sheng, you’re up to something again..."

Tantai Xueling said halfway, suddenly widening her eyes, sleepiness vanishing.

She looked at the room filled with scattered pill ash, her lips curving slightly upwards.

"Oh, is it snowing? Or is our Master Gu up to some new antics again?"

Gu Sheng awkwardly rubbed his nose.

"Just a failed Alchemy attempt; I’ll get someone to clean it up."

"No, no, no!"

Tantai Xueling hurriedly waved her hand, quickly walking to Gu Sheng’s side, her eyes gleaming with mischief.

"My Alchemy Room never permits outsiders; I’ll clean these ’snowflakes’ myself."

As she spoke, she took out a Jade Bottle from her Storage Bag, gave it a gentle shake, and the pill ash in the room began to gather into the bottle as if summoned. In no time, the room was restored to cleanliness.

Gu Sheng watched her deft movements and couldn’t help but ask.

"Why are you so fatigued? Didn’t rest well last night?"

Upon hearing this, Tantai Xueling’s face immediately fell.

"Isn’t it because of the Elixir Recipe you gave me? I tried refining the ’Jade Marrow Pill’ as you instructed, but the success rate was pitifully low; I tried over three hundred times last night, and succeeded less than thirty percent of the time!"

She grew more agitated as she spoke, her fingers unwittingly twisting her skirt.

"I spent the whole night trying to improve the Elixir Recipe, my eyes almost gone blind!"

Gu Sheng furrowed his brows slightly, pondering for a moment before speaking.

"Let me see the Elixir Recipe; maybe I can help improve it."

Tantai Xueling’s eyes brightened and she immediately took out a roll of yellowing parchment from her Storage Bag and handed it to him.
