Chapter 29 Corpse

After completing the Light Refining Finger, Gu Xiuyun did not continue to comprehend it, but instead deduced the escape from dust.

He knew very well that the deeper the immortal method went, the more mysterious and difficult it became to understand. The complexity of the fourth prohibition alone was greater than the sum of the first three prohibitions. What's more, he had to understand it thoroughly and then integrate it into one?

As far as he knew, in the Gu family, there were many people who integrated the three types of restrictions, but very few people integrated the four types of restrictions. Even the eldest man, Gu Qingzheng, could not do it.

As for integrating the five kinds of restraints and thoroughly understanding the middle-level secret method, I am afraid that only a strong person in the Qi Chong Douxiao realm can do it!

The reason why Gu Xiuyun was able to understand two low-level techniques and master the light refining technique within ten days was because he had studied restraints in his previous life and had a solid foundation. The people of the Tianming Clan have insight into the secrets of heaven. If they want to understand a certain secret method, even if it is forbidden by the immortal way, they can understand the three-point secret.

In addition, Gu Xiuyun is extremely good at deduction. In terms of deduction techniques, there is probably no one in the entire Chu County who can match him.

Without these two points, it would take at least three years to fully understand Benyun Hand.

…

The morning sun rises, and the purple air comes from the east.

Gu Xiuyun sat cross-legged, silently breathing in the purple energy and refining the spiritual veins in his body.

As the purple spiritual power merged into the depths of the spiritual veins, traces of fishy blood also escaped from the spine.

"The purple energy of the rising sun is indeed the purest essence of the sun and the moon. Only this energy can cleanse my spiritual veins." Gu Xiuyun thought to himself.

The Yuanling Pulse Cleansing Realm is the process of continuously cleansing the spiritual veins.

Although Gu Xiuyun's spiritual veins were filled with purple energy, there was still a lot of demon blood remaining in the deepest part. For the spiritual veins, demon blood was both a medicine to open the veins and an impurity.

If the spiritual veins want to advance further, all impurities must be washed away, leaving only pure spiritual power.

Therefore, the Yuanling Pulse Cleansing Realm is to continuously cleanse the spiritual veins until they are completely pure.

Because of this, the Yuanling Pulse Cleansing Realm only exists for acquired practitioners. Innate spiritual veins like Yan Suqing and Gu Yue can directly enter the Pulse Opening Gate realm once they are awakened.

Half an hour passed, the morning sun rose to the sky, and the purple energy dissipated.

Gu Xiuyun slowly opened his eyes.

"The effect of the morning sun's purple energy is indeed much better than that of the sun's glow and moonlight. The same ray of purple energy can transform spiritual power several times that of the sun's glow."

"Spiritual power is just that. I am now trapped in the Yuanling Pulse Cleansing Realm. Even if my spiritual power is accumulated to the extreme, it is only limited to the corner deep in my spine. However, the purifying effect of purple energy is more important to me."

The sun was blazing.

Heat surged in the sunlight, and the hot essence of the sunlight was of little use to Gu Xiuyun.

The grade of purple spirit veins in his body is too high. The essence of the sun can only be converted into spiritual power and stored on the surface of the spiritual veins, but it cannot cleanse the impurities deep inside.

"Sir, there were several beasts that approached just now, but we took care of them all!" The guards carried the bodies of the beasts and came to Gu Xiuyun's side.

When the morning sun rises, all the monsters in the mountains are swallowing up the essence of the sun and moon.

Hua, of course, will not go out hunting. During this period, only ordinary beasts will be running around.

"After six days of walking, we are already five hundred miles away from Youning City." Gu Xiuyun turned around and looked to the south. Even though he was hundreds of miles away, Youning City still stood like a behemoth between heaven and earth. "I guess it won't be far away." When we encounter the Pulse Level monster, we should prepare for our return journey!"

"When we return to the city with the body of the Kai Pulse Realm monster, who dares to gossip about the young master?" the guard said respectfully.

After Gu Xiuyun activated his spiritual veins, although he caused a stir in the city, most of them were ridiculed. Almost everyone believed that he succeeded in opening the pulse by mistake. In terms of strength, he was probably at the bottom among practitioners.

In fact, when he first left Youning City, even the guards secretly looked down on him.

It was not until Gu Xiuyun killed several monster beasts that the guards realized that Mr. Yun in front of them was so powerful that he could stand out from his peers.

"Set off."

After Gu Xiuyun gave the order, the guards immediately packed up their iron ropes and swords and continued heading north.

Within a radius of five hundred miles of Youning City, there is a vast wilderness.

On the flat land, it is difficult to hide the figures of monsters, but after walking for five hundred miles, there are rolling mountains.

The mountains have towering ancient trees and steep peaks, and you can often see huge eagles soaring in the sky.

Those eagles spread their wings, which are three feet wide, like a small hill, passing over their heads.

"What a big demon eagle. Judging from his size, he must at least have the cultivation level of Yuanling Pulse Cleansing Realm."

Gu Xiuyun looked solemn.

Walking here, monsters can be seen almost everywhere. Even if you encounter a big monster that has opened the pulse level, it is not surprising.

"If I hadn't already mastered the Light Refining Finger, I wouldn't have dared to set foot here."

It took six days to walk 500 miles. Of course, Gu Xiuyun deliberately slowed down his speed. While he borrowed the hands of monsters to sharpen the guards around him, he also immersed himself in the practice of refining the light finger.

Now that the secret technique has just been completed, he can truly enter the mountains.

Click!

Suddenly there was a cracking sound under his feet. Gu Xiuyun looked down and saw that it turned out to be a human skull.

Broken clothes were scattered next to the bones, pressed down by leaves, and the corners were faintly exposed.

"Sir, judging from the condition of his clothes, this person must have died not long ago. He can walk into the mountains. He must be a practitioner who has ascended to immortality and entered the Tao." The guard beside him said.

"Let's see if there are any relics that can prove his identity. Take it back and return it to his family." Gu Xiuyun sighed slightly, "As for this comrade, he is dead. Let's bury him on the spot!"

The guards hurriedly walked up, turned over the branches and leaves, and looked for the relics left behind.

Suddenly a guard exclaimed, "Sir, this dead practitioner seems to be a member of the Gu family!"

As he said this, he actually took out a gold-patterned jade pendant from his torn clothes.

"Gu Family Jade Token!"

Seeing the gold-patterned jade pendant, Gu Xiuyun's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly walked forward and took a closer look.

The gold-patterned jade pendant is a unique token of the Gu family. Only the direct line of the family can own it. On weekdays, when walking in the main line, you need to show the jade token to pass freely.

Gu Xiuyun has one on him, so he is naturally very familiar with it.

There are three gold patterns engraved on the front of the jade token, representing that this practitioner is an elder of the Gu family.

The Gu Family Jade Token is divided into high and low by the gold patterns, with the highest five and the lowest one.

Only elders are qualified to wear three gold patterns.

"To become an elder, one must have at least reached the late stage of the Yuanling Ximai Realm," Gu Xiuyun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Which elder is buried here?"

"Take a look, see if there are any other artifacts, preferably weapons or something!" Gu Xiuyun said in a deep voice.

There are not many direct elders in the Gu family, and the weapons they use are also different. If a weapon can be found, the identity of this person can be confirmed.

The guards saw that the dead elder was their own elder, and they worked harder, constantly turning over the branches and leaves on the ground to look for clues.

Soon, a copper-mixed halberd emerged from the ground, and the sharp spear head was stained with blood.

"It's the life-seeking halberd!"

Gu Xiuyun took a breath of cold air. He had just seen this weapon a few days ago, and he danced with it a few times.

There are not many people in the Gu family who are good at using halberds, and even fewer elder-level strongmen. The most famous one is his second uncle, Gu Qingtu.

"The dead practitioner is actually the second uncle."

Gu Xiuyun was shocked. Not long before leaving the city, he went to Tingyuxuan to look for the Emerald Golden Knife.

That day, the second uncle was not in the yard, but the Soul-demanding Halberd was there.

From this, it can be seen that the second uncle was still in Yuning City at that time, but why did he die in the mountains 500 miles away from Yuning City just ten days apart?

"I heard that the second uncle has reached the extreme of the Yuanling Ximai Realm, and he is only one step away from breaking through the bottleneck and entering the Kaimai Realm. Logically, he should stay in the clan to practice in seclusion until he breaks through. Why did he come here?"

Gu Xiuyun was thoughtful.

What can attract the second uncle must be an extremely important thing, otherwise he would never leave Yuning City.

"Maybe it is related to breaking through the Yuanling Ximai Realm."

You know, the later the Yuanling Ximai Realm is, the more difficult it is to cleanse the spirit veins. It only takes a few months to enter the middle stage from the early stage, but it takes several years or even longer to reach the late stage from the middle stage.

Many practitioners are stuck in the late stage of the meridian cleansing stage throughout their lives, and it is difficult to make any progress. This is because their spiritual veins are too complicated. No matter how much they practice, they cannot remove the last trace of impurities and can never make further progress.

This is also the reason why three-color veins and four-color veins are called waste veins.

Unless they use external objects, it is impossible for people with three-color veins and four-color veins to break through to the meridian opening and closing stage.

"Look again, is there anything strange on the second uncle?" Gu Xiuyun said in a deep voice, "As for the remains of the body, wrap them in cloth and take them back to Youning City."
