Chapter 245: Recovery of Cultivation, Half-Step King Stage!

Wu Nanshan slowly opened a jade bottle. As the rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, a faint spiritual power overflowed from Wu Nanshan’s body at the same time.

Under his control, a drop of emerald-green spirit medicine essence floated out of the jade bottle and slowly entered the space between Gu Xi’s brows.

In the next moment, Gu Xi’s entire body suddenly trembled.

The essence entered his body and under Wu Nanshan’s control, seeped into Gu Xi’s broken meridians. Then, it slowly spread toward the latter’s limbs and bones.

Gu Xi only felt a cool sensation all over his body. It was as if his entire body was soaked in a medicinal pot.

However, what followed closely was a heart-wrenching pain!

If all of Gu Xi’s meridians had been twisted into a rope, the treatment now was equivalent to slowly untying this rope.

One could imagine the pain!

Due to the immense pain, Gu Xi’s entire body was trembling uncontrollably. His face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat poured out of his body like rain.

“Will Brother Gu be alright?”

Looking at Gu Xi’s miserable state, Fang Qinyu asked worriedly.

She wanted to help, but Gu Xi had to endure the pain herself.

“As long as he can endure it, his injuries will definitely recover. However, if he passes out or can’t endure the pain, his meridians will be completely crippled.”

“Once crippled, it will be even harder to repair it in the future than ascending to the Heavens.”

While guiding the drop of spirit medicine essence, Wu Nanshan explained with a solemn expression.

“Just… continue… I can endure it!”

At the same time, Gu Xi gritted his teeth and spoke.

Although this kind of pain made him feel as if he was living a life worse than death, in order to recover his cultivation, this was nothing!

After a full quarter of an hour, this drop of spirit medicine essence was finally absorbed.

After the absorption was complete, the pain was reduced a little. At this time, Gu Xi was already drenched in sweat.

Although that was the case, his heart was incomparably happy. He clearly felt that his meridians had obviously improved!

Although there was still a considerable distance to recover to his former glory, but now that he had successfully passed the first hurdle, recovering his cultivation was not a dream!

“Hold your breath and focus. Don’t relax.”

Just as Gu Xi heaved a sigh of relief, Wu Nanshan’s voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi hurriedly entered the state of mind again.

Immediately after, the second jade bottle was opened. A drop of dark purple essence rushed out and entered the space between Gu Xi’s brows in the blink of an eye.

What followed closely was even greater pain than before!

Gu Xi grunted and gritted her teeth with all his might. He did not howl in the slightest.

This caused Wu Nanshan, who was at the side, to have no choice but to look at him in a new light.

If a young man of Gu Xi’s age were to experience such pain, he would have cried and cried for his parents long ago.

At the side, Little Nine looked at Gu Xi with some worry in her eyes. However, she firmly believed that Gu Xi would not be so easily defeated by this.

Soon, the second drop of essence was absorbed.

The third bottle…

The fourth bottle…

The fifth bottle…

…

Until the last bottle was absorbed by Gu Xi, his mind suddenly went blank, and he fell backward uncontrollably. Fortunately, Little Nine held on to him.

“Big Brother Gu, How do you feel?” Fang Qinyu also hurried over and asked with concern.

Gu Xi forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

He could feel that his meridians had recovered, but he did not have the slightest energy to be happy. The excessive pain made him feel exhausted.

“Take this pill. You can recover your strength after resting for a night.” Wu Nanshan slowly got up and fed a pill to Gu Xi. “Your meridians and Dantian have just recovered, and you are still extremely weak. Remember to not use even the slightest bit of spiritual power before you are completely healed. Otherwise, once the spiritual power flows into your meridians, it is highly likely that your weak meridians will be broken again. At that time, even if a great God comes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save your life.”

Wu Nanshan’s expression was solemn, and Gu Xi also used the last of his strength to nod his head.

He would never do such a silly thing.

“I’ve already arranged a place for Young Friend Gu to enter seclusion. I’ll have to trouble the two of you to bring him there. When his meridians are almost back to normal tomorrow, he’ll be able to once again draw spiritual power into his body.”

Wu Nanshan said to Little Nine and the other two. Then, he shook his head wearily and turned to leave.

Although he had already stepped into the realm of a Saint, treating Gu Xi’s injuries was extremely taxing on his mental strength, making him feel extremely tired.

Following Wu Nanshan’s departure, a disciple of the Medicine King Valley immediately led the way for the two of them to the residence Wu Nanshan had prepared for them.

…

Three days later.

In the dark secret chamber, one could not see one’s fingers.

One could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a figure sitting cross-legged in the middle of the secret chamber.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xi’s tightly shut eyes slowly opened.

In an instant, a sharp light flashed past.

In the next moment, spiritual energy burst out from his body.

Since the beginning of the most basic body refining, it had surpassed the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Dragon Transformation, and Nirvana stages. The aura that Gu Xi emitted rose steadily, becoming more and more terrifying.

Only when he reached the peak of the Almighty stage did his skyrocketing cultivation slowly stop moving.

“Have I recovered to the peak of the Almighty stage…?” feeling his current cultivation, Gu Xi muttered.

He was still a major stage away from his previous Quasi-saint stage.

Don’t underestimate the fact that he was only a major stage away. The total amount of spiritual power required for this major stage was even more than all the previous stages!

This was also the reason why there was a huge gap between each stage!

The current peak of the Almighty stage could also be considered as a Half-step King stage. However, compared to the Quasi-saint realm, it was because of the difference between a firefly and a bright moon!

Even so, Gu Xi was still very satisfied.

No matter what stage he recovered to, it was still better than having his meridians in a mess.

Besides, as long as he obtained the Snowfall Fungus, all the problems would be solved!

“Snowfall Fungus, huh…”

Gu Xi got up and left the secret room. Looking up at the clear sky above, he could not help but make up his mind.

No matter what, he must get this Snowfall Fungus!

“Master, how do you feel?”

At the same time, an enchanting figure suddenly appeared in front of Gu Xi.

It was Little Nine, who had been waiting here the whole time.

Because of the existence of the contract, Little Nine sensed the abnormality the moment Gu Xi changed.

“It feels pretty good.” Gu Xi nodded, and then asked with some doubt, “Where’s Fang Qinyu?”
