If you look carefully, you will find that the palm of her hand holding the sword is oozing with thin blood.
But in her mind, the sword cutting through the void became clearer again, and the divine light in her eyes flickered and became brighter...
The roar of the beast sounded again and again.
Although none of the monks participating in the trial had reached the level of unity, and none of the monsters that appeared subsequently exceeded level nine, as the mountain gates opened one after another and more and more monsters rushed into the barrier, the difficulty of the trial was still the same.
It's getting higher and higher, and it's getting more and more dangerous.
Strange lights flashed one after another, and one young monk after another crushed the teleportation talisman and exited the trial. When the seventh mountain gate opened, only a dozen young monks remained in the barrier.
Of course Gu Qingxi was among them, but at this time she was covered in blood, and her white clothes were dyed red.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Qin Canghai's voice sounded in his mind again.
However, there was no longer the joy of schadenfreude as before, but it became much more boring.
Originally, he wanted to watch Gu Qingxi's jokes and wait for her to ask him for help, but until this moment, all the meridians in his body were almost broken, and Gu Qingxi did not do what he wanted, as if he had completely forgotten his existence.
Even though he had no choice but to become Gu Qingxi's follower, being ignored like this still hit him hard.
What puzzled him the most was that with Gu Qingxi's strength, he could completely consume the spiritual power of monsters with his dexterous movement and sword skills, and kill them one by one without any danger.
But she just didn't do that. Every time, she tried her best to fight the monsters to the death, even hovering on the edge of death several times.
Even a demon cultivator who is used to self-mutilation to stimulate his potential would not play around with his life like this.
"Understand sword skills." Gu Qingxi answered simply and clearly without hiding it.
As she spoke, she took the healing elixir and took the time to restore her spiritual power.
To comprehend the sword skills? In fact, Qin Canghai also vaguely guessed that Gu Qingxi did this mostly to find opportunities to break through the bottleneck, or to comprehend the sword skills.
But even so, there’s no need to risk your life, right?
As a former powerful Mahayana man, he has also gone through countless experiences, and has been in danger more than once in order to find opportunities or gain enlightenment.
But he had never tried the cultivation method like Gu Qingxi's, who risked his life to survive.
In the past, he was struck by thunder every day and tortured by Gu Qingxi to the point of death. He also secretly scolded Gu Qingxi for being ruthless. But now he realizes that she is not only ruthless to others, but also ruthless to herself.
It's no wonder that she has such strength at such a young age. It must be because of this, right?
Through the soul mirror, Qin Canghai looked at Gu Qingxi's face that was as pale as paper, with a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, but his expression remained firm, and he felt a sense of understanding in his heart, and at the same time, he was still a little bit confused about him.
Admiration that I didn't even notice.
The sword light flashed across the sky again, and the last ninth-level monster turned into nothingness.
The light and shadow distorted, and an invisible space door slowly emerged. Gu Qingxi stabilized her shaky figure, recovered a little spiritual power, and walked into the door.
What appeared in front of us was an even more desolate land.
The biting wind howled by, and the peaks were either broken in the middle or cracked in the middle. The fractures were as smooth as stone mirrors, as if they had been ruthlessly split open by a giant sword and axe.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, you are here too." Seven or eight young monks covered in bruises were standing not far away, supporting each other. Most of them looked happy when they saw Gu Qingxi.
Although I don’t know where this place is, I can tell with my toes that the next trial will be more difficult and more dangerous. One more person means more strength.
Moreover, Gu Qingxi passed all the previous tests alone and was obviously stronger than them.
However, there was also a monk among them. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes clearly showed some caution.
This is of course normal. In the previous trials, everyone fought independently without any conflict with each other. However, in the subsequent trials, everyone is both a companion and a competitor.
Even if you don’t worry about someone stabbing you in the back, you will still worry about someone getting better than you and taking away the great opportunity that belongs to you. New Biquge
As a monk, you should be competitive, but Gu Qingxi didn't care.
"I've met fellow Taoists." She nodded and saw that they were all seriously injured, so she took out a few bottles of healing elixirs and distributed them to several of them.
While talking, Gu Qingxi cast a water purification charm and washed away the blood stains.
The monks originally brought a lot of healing elixirs with them, but they had already used them up in the previous trials. Upon seeing this, they quickly thanked them, took the elixirs and drank them.
After the power of the elixir was released, the injuries on several people improved at an astonishing speed, and even the broken meridians quickly returned to their original state.
"This is... the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill!" Everyone then noticed the unfinished elixir in their hands and exclaimed at the same time.
The Nine-turn Spiritual Returning Pill is a tenth-grade spiritual pill. As we all know, only those who are in the realm of fusion can refine it.
However, the main energy of alchemy cultivators is spent on alchemy. How can it be so easy to cultivate to the state of integration? For the vast majority of monks in Tiancang Continent, the Nine Turns of Rejuvenation Pill is almost the top healing elixir.
Even before setting off, they had heard about Gu Qingxi's reputation as a medical master and an alchemy master, but it was only then that they realized how superb her alchemy skills were.
"I have long heard that fellow Taoist Gu is called the Master of Alchemy, and today I saw that he is indeed well-deserved." A young monk said with admiration.
Then he bowed and introduced himself, "I am Shen You'an, a disciple of the Jade Sword Sect, and I have met fellow Daoist Gu."
"I am a disciple of the Hong family of demon cultivators, Hong Ziqing. I have met fellow Daoist Gu."
"I, Lu Jincheng, a disciple of Jiuxuan Sect, have met Gu Daoyou. At such a young age, Gu Daoyou has such cultivation and such alchemy skills, which is really a blessing to the world of cultivation and a blessing to Tiancang Continent." That man was wary of Gu Qingxi.
The monks also cupped their hands and said in admiration.
"Excellent..." Several other monks also saluted and said.
"Fellow Taoists, there is no need to be polite." Gu Qingxi stretched out her hand to support them and said politely to several people, while looking at their cultivation levels.
Anyone who can reach this point will certainly not be too weak in strength.
Shen Youan has reached the peak of divine transformation, while Hong Ziqing and several others are basically in the late or mid-stage of divine transformation.
And that Lu Jincheng has reached the Great Perfection of Divine Transformation. In terms of cultivation alone, he is slightly stronger than Gu Qingxi, and is only one step away from being able to merge.
No wonder he was so wary of Gu Qingxi. The other people were at least two levels behind him in cultivation and had little impact on him. Only Gu Qingxi could pose a threat to him.
"I don't know how many levels of trials we have passed?" Shen Youan said after exchanging a few words.
"I don't know what level it is, but the next trial will definitely lead to a narrow escape. Although we come from different sects and families, it is best to work together in the same boat, otherwise it will be difficult to escape unscathed." Lu Jincheng said.
"What you said, Fellow Daoist Lu, makes sense, what you say makes sense." Other monks agreed one after another.
Speaking of which, I have never heard of anyone being killed in the trials of Wuji Immortal Palace, but there are many people who ruined their cultivation path because of serious injuries. They have finally reached this point, and of course they don't want to follow in their footsteps.
"Fellow Taoists think so too, so that's the best thing. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king, and a group of dragons cannot be without a leader. Why don't we just follow fellow Taoist Gu as our leader and obey her orders? What do you think, fellow Taoists?"
Lu Jincheng clapped his hands and continued.
"What Fellow Daoist Lu said is exactly what I want. For the next trial, we will obey Fellow Daoist Gu's orders!" Shen Youan and others said in unison.
Gu Qingxi couldn't help but glance at Lu Jincheng. She thought he was wary of her and said so much just to compete with her for dominance, but she didn't expect that he would hand over the dominance to her so easily.
Obviously, this is all because of those bottles of Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill. It has to be said that there is a reason why this person can cultivate to the Great Perfection of Divine Transformation, even slightly higher than himself - at least he can afford it.
