Chapter 281 Water Spirit Pearl

One of the elders was killed directly by him, and only one soul escaped in the form of light.

Gu Sheng found his storage ring from the body of the Ji family elder, and also got the storage ring of the Ji family elder and various space rings he confiscated.

He looked through these treasures with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Ji family, do you think you can bully me at will? From today on, I will let you know that I, Gu Sheng, am not easy to mess with!" Gu Sheng said coldly.

His voice echoed in the mine, making everyone look at him sideways.

And those supervisors and warriors retreated one after another, not daring to come forward at all.

Gu Sheng arrogantly took out a flag from the storage ring and rewrote the words on it.

"Gu Sheng was here!"

Gu Sheng left the Ji family mine with big strides, leaving a mess and chaos behind him.

There was a faint smile on his lips, and six big characters "Gu Sheng was here" were hung at the entrance of the mining area, as if announcing his unruly and wild behavior to the world.

The news spread quickly throughout the cultivation world like a whirlwind, and all the major families and clans talked about it, shocked and angry at Gu Sheng's arrogant behavior.

The Ji family was even more furious. They regarded this mine as a forbidden area, but now Gu Sheng broke in so easily and left provocative words.

"Gu Sheng, you dare to humiliate my Ji family like this, you must tear him into pieces!"

The head of the Ji family roared angrily, with cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Gu Sheng seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no one saw him again.

He knew that he had to hide at this moment to avoid the pursuit of the Ji family.

So, he used the ability of the Qingteng Demon Soul to find a secret small palace underground, intending to practice and recuperate here.

The interior of the palace was dim and mysterious, revealing an ancient and powerful atmosphere.

Gu Sheng carefully extended his divine sense to find out what was going on.

Suddenly, his divine sense touched a huge coffin, which exuded a frightening aura.

"This is... the coffin in the Chiyun Abyss!"

Gu Sheng was startled and immediately remembered the mysterious coffin he had encountered in the Chiyun Abyss before. He was filled with a strong curiosity and wanted to see what secrets were hidden in the coffin.

Just as he was about to use his divine sense to probe into the coffin, a strong tingling sensation suddenly came over him, as if countless needles were piercing his soul.

Gu Sheng was almost fainted from the pain, and he immediately retracted his divine sense, with cold sweat running down his forehead.

"What kind of power is hidden in this coffin? It's so terrifying!"

Gu Sheng was terrified, and he knew that he was not yet a match for the power in the coffin.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace, and it was obvious that someone was coming.

Gu Sheng's heart tightened, and he immediately restrained his breath and hid in the dark of the palace.

"Are the Ji family's pursuers coming so soon?" Gu Sheng thought to himself, while vigilantly observing the movements outside.

After a while, a group of Ji family strongmen broke into the palace. They held weapons and looked around vigilantly.

When their eyes fell on the huge coffin, they couldn't help but reveal a trace of awe and fear in their eyes.

"What kind of power is hidden in this coffin? It makes us all feel palpitations." A Ji family strongman whispered.

"No matter what power it is, Gu Sheng can't get it. We must find him as soon as possible and eliminate him!" Another strong man said coldly.

Gu Sheng hid in the dark, listening to their conversation, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He knew that although these Ji family strongmen were powerful, they seemed so small in front of this coffin.

And he could use this coffin as a defense to deter these pursuers and make them retreat.

So, Gu Sheng decided to stay here temporarily and use the power of the coffin to protect himself.

Gu Sheng began to refine the spiritual stones he had obtained.

As the spiritual stones continued to be refined, rich spiritual energy filled the air.

These spiritual energies flowed like liquid, flickering with a faint light, as if countless stars were flickering.

He sat cross-legged, forming seals with his hands, and his mind was completely immersed in the process of refining the spiritual stones.

As he breathed, the spiritual energy around him seemed to be summoned and slowly flowed into his body.

These spiritual energies flowed through Gu Sheng's meridians and finally gathered in his dantian.

There, the majestic energy contained in the three thousand spiritual stones was being refined bit by bit, flowing to the limbs and bones, and finally, forming a seabed chakra at the bottom of the sea.

At this moment, the huge coffin suddenly sighed.

This sigh was low and distant, as if it had passed through the barriers of time and space and came from ancient times. Gu Sheng was startled, and his mind immediately probed into the coffin.

"What is hidden in the coffin? Why does it make such a sigh?" Gu Sheng was full of curiosity and vigilance.

No matter how he explored, he could not find out the secret inside the coffin.

The coffin seemed to have some mysterious power that isolated his mind from the outside.

Gu Sheng retracted his mind and continued to focus on refining the spirit stone. He knew that his current strength was not enough to uncover the secret of the coffin. Only by constantly improving his cultivation can he have a chance to find out.

As time passed, Gu Sheng's cultivation was also steadily improving.

When the last trace of spirit stone energy was refined and absorbed, his cultivation finally broke through the first level of the marrow refining realm.

"Haha, I finally broke through!"

Gu Sheng roared, his eyes flashing with excitement. He felt as if his body had been reborn and full of strength.

In the underground palace, the coffin sighed again.

This time the voice was clearer, as if it was ringing in Gu Sheng's ears.

"It seems that this coffin has some connection with my improvement in cultivation."

Gu Sheng thought to himself and decided to continue to practice in the underground palace and explore the secret of the coffin.

Gu Sheng refined three thousand spiritual stones again, and the spiritual energy in his body was as majestic and turbulent as a surging river. Unfortunately, his cultivation has never been able to break through the current level.

He understood that blindly relying on spiritual stones for cultivation could accumulate a large amount of spiritual energy in a short period of time, but in the long run, it would be counterproductive and the foundation would be unstable.

Gu Sheng decided to temporarily stop refining spirit stones and look for other methods of cultivation.

He knows very well that the road to martial arts is all about experience, and only in life-and-death battles can one continue to break through.

He emerged from the surface and came to a dense birch forest.

In this forest, direwolves appear frequently, making it an excellent place for training. Gu Sheng stepped into the forest with his bare hands, preparing to fight the direwolf.

Not long after, a huge direwolf smelled Gu Sheng's breath. It opened its bloody mouth, exposed its sharp fangs, and pounced towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng's eyes were slightly cold, and with a movement of his body, he easily dodged the direwolf's attack.

He punched out with his backhand, and the punch was fierce, going straight for the direwolf's head.

The direwolf's reaction was not slow. It turned sideways to avoid the punch, and at the same time it swung its claws to grab Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng moved again, and while dodging the claw attack, he kicked the direwolf in the abdomen.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the direwolf's huge body was kicked backwards and fell heavily to the ground. It struggled to stand up, but Gu Sheng stepped on its head.

"Hmph, that's all." Gu Sheng sneered and crushed the direwolf's head to pieces.

In the following time, Gu Sheng defeated each direwolf as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

His figure shuttled through the birch forest, and every move he made was precise and ruthless, making it impossible for the direwolves to get close.

"Ouch——"

A shrill wolf howl sounded, and a larger ice direwolf king appeared.

Its eyes were red, exuding strong killing intent. It was obviously angered by Gu Sheng's previous killing behavior.

Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that this direwolf king was difficult to deal with.

But he did not back down, but went forward and started a fierce fight with the Direwolf King.

After a fierce battle, Gu Sheng finally found the flaw in the Ice Wolf King and severely wounded him with one punch.

The direwolf king let out a shrill howl, fell to the ground, and could no longer move.

Gu Sheng clapped his hands and cleaned up the corpses of the thirteen direwolves.

He stored twelve of them in the storage ring, preparing to use them to refine elixirs or weapon refining materials in the future.

As for the remaining direwolf, Gu Sheng decided to bake it.

He found an open space, built a bonfire, and began grilling direwolf meat in various ways.

Sprinkle the seasonings for a while, turn the meat for a while, and soon the air will be filled with an attractive aroma.

"Yes, that's right. The direwolf meat is grilled just right. It's charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The aroma is fragrant."

Gu Sheng took a bite of the meat and nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that my barbecue skills have improved a lot."

In this way, Gu Sheng continued to improve his strength through experience, and at the same time enjoyed the fun brought by practice.

A month passed and Gu Sheng walked out of the underground palace after confirming that the Ji family would no longer look for him.

The Ivy Demon Soul dragged it down a river. It was a new arrival and it didn't know where it was going, so let the river bring it its fate.

Gu Sheng followed the river, and after an unknown amount of time, he came to a strange new world.

He felt that the aura permeating the air here was stronger than in the original world.

He was secretly happy, knowing that this was a good place for cultivation.

He was walking in the jungle and suddenly heard the sound of a fight.

He followed the sound and saw a beautiful woman fighting fiercely with a ferocious monster. That

The woman has a graceful figure, her cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Bone Realm, her hands are filled with aura, and her power is astonishing.

When Gu Sheng saw this, his heart moved and he decided to help.

With a movement of his body, he rushed into the battlefield.

He struck fiercely and killed the monster in an instant.

When the woman saw this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she immediately thanked Gu Sheng.

The two chatted, and Gu Sheng learned that the woman's name was Su Yao, a monk from the swamp and lake country in the south.

Gu Sheng and Su Yao continued to talk. Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, and a huge octopus emerged from the ground. Its body was dozens of feet long, and its tentacles danced, causing gusts of wind.

The octopus roared and rushed towards Su Yao with a powerful breath.

Su Yao dodged and avoided the octopus' attack. At the same time, a staff appeared in her hand. The head of the staff flashed with light and pointed towards the octopus.

A ray of light shot towards the octopus, and smoke suddenly appeared from the octopus's body.

This octopus had no idea what it had eaten, and its cultivation had reached the early stage of the Marrow Refining Realm.

It became even angrier under the pain, and its tentacles danced wildly.

Gu Sheng moved and rushed forward.

He moved the ancient holy body, and his whole body exuded golden light, like a god of war.

He slapped out his golden palm, which collided with the octopus's tentacles, making a dull sound.

The octopus's tentacles were hit by Gu Sheng's golden palm and immediately broke apart.

Gu Sheng took the opportunity to bully himself, and the Jade Maiden Sword in his hand shone brightly, stabbing at the octopus's head.

The octopus sensed the danger and sprayed a stream of black liquid, trying to stop Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng used the Xiaoyao Dengxian Step to easily avoid the black liquid, and at the same time, the Jade Maiden Sword in his hand stabbed the octopus's head.

The octopus screamed and its huge body fell to the ground. Gu Sheng put away the Jade Maiden Sword, looked at the octopus's body, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a powerful swordsmanship!" Su Yao praised.

"You're too kind." Gu Sheng said with a smile.

Su Yao looked at Gu Sheng, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

She bit her lip lightly and said, "Gu Sheng, can you do me a favor?"

"What favor?" Gu Sheng asked.

"I'm going to look for a treasure called Shuilingzhu, which is located in an ancient ruin deep in Yaomengze.

But there are powerful monsters guarding it, and I can't deal with it alone." Su Yao said.

Gu Sheng hesitated and said, "I have my own things to do, so I may not be able to accompany you."

Su Yao's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "It's okay, I understand. However, if you have time in the future, you can come to the southern swamp lake to find me."

Gu Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, if there is a chance, I will definitely go."

After the two said goodbye, Gu Sheng continued to move along the river.

He thought about Su Yao's request in his heart. Although he wanted to help her, he also knew that he still had a lot to do.

Just then, Gu Sheng suddenly felt a strong breath coming from behind him. He looked back and saw a man in black standing not far away, looking at him coldly.

"Who are you?" Gu Sheng asked vigilantly.

"I am the messenger of the Blood Demon Palace, and I have been ordered to come to take your life." The man in black said coldly.

Gu Sheng's heart sank. He knew that the Blood Demon Hall was an evil organization that specialized in plundering the resources and lives of practitioners.

He didn't expect that he would get into this trouble.

"You are not qualified to kill me!" Gu Sheng shouted, and used the Nine Swords of Gale to attack the man in black.

The man in black flashed and avoided Gu Sheng's attack.

A blood-colored long knife appeared in his hand and chopped towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng used the Shadow Hiding Skill, and his body disappeared instantly.

He appeared behind the man in black and chopped at the man with the Bloodthirsty Battle Axe in his hand.

The man in black noticed Gu Sheng's attack, and he turned around and swung his long knife to block Gu Sheng's axe.

The two fought back and forth, and started a fierce battle.

During the battle, Gu Sheng found that the man in black was very fast and it was difficult for him to hit him with his attack.

In the dense woods, Gu Sheng confronted the man in black. (End of this chapter)
