CHAPTER 255: CHAPTER 176 4TH ERA: INNATE SPIRIT GU, AN INDESCRIBABLE EXISTENCE!_2

"This is a big mess."

Lu Yuan felt a bitter sensation in his heart.

The Heavenly Dao in this world had already completely corrupted and fallen, along with a terrifying presence that had been lurking behind the scenes.

If they truly wanted to target him, even the Will of the Heavens wouldn’t be able to interfere too much.

As Lu Yuan’s sanity was about to collapse and his soul was about to merge into the darkness.

The Second-Turned Innate Spirit Gu suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yuan, emitting a faint glow.

Although this glow seemed insignificant compared to the vast darkness.

Its appearance gave Lu Yuan a glimpse of dawn and hope!

The endless darkness surged towards the Innate Spirit-Gathering Gu like a tidal wave, as if intending to drown it.

Yet, although the light on the surface of this Innate Spirit Gu was weak, it possessed amazing tenacity and never fully extinguished.

At the same time.

An ancient will descended, causing the light of the Innate Spirit Gu to surge like a blazing sun, illuminating most of the darkness!

After a long stalemate between the two.

All the darkness dissipated, and everything returned to normal once more.

However, the light of the Innate Spirit Gu dimmed, as if it had suffered some severe injury, its aura weak and faint, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

"Hoo~"

Lu Yuan gasped for breath, his back drenched with cold sweat.

Reflecting on everything he just experienced, it felt absurd and bizarre, like a dream.

"What was that will earlier, and why did it help me?"

"Could the Heavenly Dao in this world not be fully corrupted, still maintaining a sliver of clarity?"

"Or is the one orchestrating everything not an enemy?"

Thinking of these things, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but feel a headache.

Currently, his power was too low, and he wasn’t even sure who the enemy was.

But from the current situation, at least one party among them wasn’t malicious towards him.

And the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

No matter who they are, as long as they can buy him some time.

Then Lu Yuan could seize the opportunity to grow and quickly strengthen his own power!

"The Second-Turned Innate Spirit Gu is complete. Once its status is restored to its peak, I’ll be able to smoothly step into the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Lu Yuan tenderly placed the Innate Spirit Gu into his dantian.

If it weren’t for this Innate Spirit Gu protecting his last strand of divine soul at the final moment, he might have already been corrupted and eroded by the darkness.

"It’s just that Niu Family Village lacks resources. If I want the Innate Spirit Gu to recover quickly, I must head to the Medicine Buddha Sect."

After a moment of thought, Lu Yuan made up his mind.

Shallow waters cannot raise a True Dragon.

Niu Family Village is merely an ordinary village, and for hundreds of years, it hasn’t produced a single Qi Refining cultivator.

If Lu Yuan stayed there, who knows how long it would take for the Innate Spirit Gu to fully recover from all its injuries?

Half a month later.

Lu Yuan summoned Landlord Zhou.

He knocked him out with a wave of his hand and then used the Qi and Blood Gu to eliminate most of the blood silk worms within him.

Humans are the spirits of all things, and Gu is the essence of heaven and earth.

Gu insects carry fragments of the Law, making them the nemesis and natural enemy of all parasite insect races.

Those blood silk worms that caused Landlord Zhou so much pain had no resistance against the Qi and Blood Gu, their numbers dropping by over seventy percent immediately!

However, Lu Yuan didn’t have the Qi and Blood Gu completely eradicate the blood silk worms.

After all, the parasite and host had formed some sort of twisted symbiotic relationship.

If all the blood silk worms were consumed, Landlord Zhou would die as well.

When Landlord Zhou awoke from his coma, he felt refreshed and rejuvenated, no longer having the previous feeling of weakness and depletion!

"Is it already cured? Immortal Master Lu’s methods are indeed divine!"

Landlord Zhou, delightedly observing the changes in himself, immediately felt immense gratitude towards Lu Yuan, viewing him as a life-giving benefactor.

In gratitude for Lu Yuan’s life-saving grace.

Landlord Zhou generously purchased over a thousand acres of fertile land near Niu Family Village.

He then embarked on large-scale construction to build a mansion for the Lu Family, for Lu Yuan to reside in.

Lu Yuan did not value these material goods much, but Father Lu and Mother Lu were his parents in this life.

While he couldn’t let them have eternal life, allowing them to enjoy a life of wealth and luxury was no problem.

Having done all this, Lu Yuan stayed in Niu Family Village, accompanying his parents for half a year while diligently honing his own strengths.

[Your comprehension is heaven-defying, and you’ve cultivated the Profound Jade Skin Refining Technique to perfection, successfully deducing the Jade Skin Gu Refining Technique!]

[Your comprehension is heaven-defying, tirelessly researching the Gu Refining Technique, significantly boosting your refining experience!]

[Your comprehension is heaven-defying, practicing day and night, growing increasingly proficient in the Gu insect application techniques!]

When Lu Yuan reached the peak of the Qi Refinement Stage, and the injuries of the Innate Spirit Gu had mostly recovered.

He finally leaked some news and announced to the outside world that he awakened his Spirit Root and finally stepped into the Qi Cultivation Stage!

Once the news broke, the entire Qingshui County was in an uproar!

In a rural and impoverished place like Qingshui County, finding a few individuals with any potential for cultivation in a year was rare.

If someone stepped into the Qi Cultivation Stage, it would be significant enough to stir the entire county, prompting even the County Magistrate to personally congratulate!

But what did they hear now?

Lu Yuan, at only two years old, had become a Qi Refining cultivator?

What terrifying talent and aptitude is this? Looking across Qingshui County, or even the entire Da Jing Dynasty, such a prodigy might be unprecedented!

The news was so astonishing that many found it hard to believe this fact.

In truth, it wasn’t just them. When this news reached Master Pu Xuan, he was also in disbelief.

He, an Inner Sect Elder of the Medicine Buddha Sect, with unfathomable cultivation, had reached the Core Formation Stage decades ago.

With his cultivation and status, he was a prominent figure even within the Da Jing Dynasty.

Over the years, he traveled widely to practice medicine and aid the underprivileged.

One reason was to save all beings, another was to find promising talents with cultivation potential to replenish the sect’s ranks.

One could say.

Master Pu Xuan had traversed the entire Da Jing Dynasty and seen countless talents, akin to fish crossing the river.

Originally, he thought that Lu Yuan sensing Qi at the mere age of one was already extraordinary, a feat enough to surpass many sect prodigies.

Yet, as Lu Yuan was so young, with his bones still undeveloped, even Master Pu Xuan didn’t know what type of Spirit Root he possessed.

Thus, he only maintained some level of interest in Lu Yuan and didn’t bring him back to the Medicine Buddha Sect.

However, upon learning that Lu Yuan had stepped into the Qi Cultivation Realm by the age of two, his usually calm demeanor was now utterly shocked!

"A two-year-old Qi Refining cultivator, such monstrous talent may not have appeared since the establishment of our Medicine Buddha Sect!"

Master Pu Xuan sighed with admiration and immediately decided to set out for Niu Family Village.

After all, if other Inner Sect Elders learned of this, there might be fierce disputes for him!

Therefore, he sought to quickly take Lu Yuan as his disciple before others received the news.

Though the Medicine Buddha Sect was thousands of miles away from Niu Family Village.

A Core Formation Cultivator could travel vast distances as if flying with the wind, covering hundreds of thousands of miles in a day.

This distance was trivial to Master Pu Xuan.

"True heroes indeed emerge from youth."

Half an hour later.

Master Pu Xuan, gazing at Lu Yuan, couldn’t help but feel admiration.

Due to years of cultivation, although Lu Yuan was only two years old, he appeared as a child of five or six.

Especially his composed demeanor impressed Master Pu Xuan greatly.

Two years ago, when Master Pu Xuan was practicing medicine in Niu Family Village, Lu Yuan was just an infant needing constant care,

but who could have imagined.

That very year, the infant who nearly starved to death had, in the blink of an eye, become a Qi Refining cultivator?

Master Pu Xuan was also curious about the kind of Spirit Root Lu Yuan awakened, why his cultivation speed was so extraordinary?

With this in mind.

Master Pu Xuan immediately began examining Lu Yuan’s roots and bones, but upon close scrutiny, his eyes widened in disbelief, as if witnessing something utterly astounding!
