I Come to Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 329 - 12: Immortal Giant (3/3)

Aside from his outstanding medical skills, Ling Guzi’s alchemy skills were also unparalleled throughout the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

In a certain sense, compared to Li Boyang, who always dedicated himself to popularizing and mass-promoting pill formulas.

Ling Guzi represented that traditional "alchemist" that the world stereotypically thought of.

Pursuing the ultimate efficacy and extreme pharmacology.

The medicinal materials chosen were basically heavenly and earthly treasures like the thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.

Using Ling Guzi’s past conversation with Xuansi Gu, he said he didn’t have the talent or grand vision of that Celestial Being, and cannot possibly make top-grade pills from ordinary materials.

So instead of following step by step behind the other.

Why not blaze a new trail and stack up a truly ultimate-grade pill with extreme efficacy?

That was the first time Ling Guzi revealed his ambition—he wanted to surpass Li Boyang in the Alchemy Dao.

At the very least, he wanted to refine an ultimate-grade pill that Li Boyang couldn’t replicate.

For this reason, Ling Guzi collected many rare medicinal materials, some of which were single specimens that had long since become extinct.

"Hey, stop changing the subject!"

"If I’m not mistaken, Xuansi Gu has forbidden you from going to those dangerous places, right?"

Grinning slightly toothpainfully, Lord Tingyao naturally knew Ling Guzi’s reckless nature.

Several times, he said he was going to gather new herbs, only to come back every time with his head in ashes.

Once, he even came back in pieces.

He was brought back, bone by bone, by a Bronze Giant Snake.

Since then, Xuansi Gu specially instructed Lord Tingyao.

Whenever Ling Guzi wanted to leave the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, he should inform him beforehand.

"So, this time I left without telling her."

Looking straight into Lord Tingyao’s eyes without any concealment, Ling Guzi’s words threw him into silence once more.

Lord Tingyao had already become the gatekeeper of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

For Ling Guzi to leave the Hundred Lands Mountain Range without being noticed by him was simply unrealistic.

"Aren’t the herbs from Yunmeng Marsh enough to keep you busy?"

Sighing deeply, Lord Tingyao had no choice but to advise him actively.

"The herbs from Yunmeng Marsh are cultivated by Celestial Beings, using them to surpass him is impossible."

As straightforward as ever, Ling Guzi’s forthrightness left Lord Tingyao unsure of what more to say.

Fortunately, though Ling Guzi’s emotional intelligence was a bit low, he still had basic observational skills.

"Help me keep this from Xuansi Gu, and I’ll refine a batch of ’Guiyuan Pills’ for you when I return."

[Guiyuan Pills] are imitations of [Qi Blood Pills] and one of Ling Guzi’s unique secret recipes.

Even though they lack "Innate Qi" as a result.

[Guiyuan Pills] cannot promote secondary development like Li Boyang’s [Qi Blood Pills].

But Ling Guzi added many precious herbs in the making of [Guiyuan Pills], barely compensating for the innate deficiencies.

More importantly, Ling Guzi is not Li Boyang.

Lord Tingyao can, without any psychological burden, request Ling Guzi to create [Guiyuan Pills] tailored to him.

"Deal!"

Without a bit of hesitation, Lord Tingyao agreed to the transaction decisively.

"But let’s make it clear, I’ll only help you keep it from Xuansi Gu."

"If you stir up trouble and alert her yourself, you can’t blame me afterward."

Nodding in agreement, Ling Guzi wanted nothing more than Lord Tingyao’s promise.

"No problem, I’ll come back in one piece this time."

...........................

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Unaware that someone was rushing from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Bahu was still battling with Long Jikui, but she was increasingly falling into a disadvantageous position.

Fighting in this chaotic Primordial Qi area outside the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Bahu was exhausting her own accumulated Primordial Qi entirely.

Once the Primordial Qi within her was depleted.

Bahu’s performance wouldn’t be significantly stronger than that of ordinary creatures.

In contrast, Long Jikui, as a living corpse, had not used any Divine Techniques from the start, relying solely on the strength of his body to fight.

This is also the most formidable trait of the giants from the Longbo Kingdom.

Their enormous size endowed them with boundless power, enabling them to move mountains and invert peaks, and be enemies to the Gods, even without any Divine Techniques.

Especially after "Wu Yi Shoots the Sky," when the Gods were severed from their connection to the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

The giants of Longbo Kingdom suddenly climbed to the top tier of this era, and with verifiable combat experience at that.

Not to mention, within Long Jikui flowed a strange life force, continually replenishing him.

Bahu’s various attacks seemed formidable.

In reality, they could not inflict truly fatal harm on Long Jikui.

Boom!

Just as Bahu attempted to stir the Palm Leaf Fan again.

The seemingly corpse-like hundred-zhang giant suddenly raised his head, thousands of roots shooting from his fragmented body.

"What?"

Unable to react in time, Bahu suddenly found all escape possibilities blocked by those roots.

In an instant, a huge shadow enveloped everything within a hundred-mile radius.

Those roots originally from Bahu now seemed to be the accomplices of a volcanic eruption.

From afar, molten rock poured in all directions along those roots.

Perhaps due to the extremely high temperature of the lava.

Those roots rapidly carbonized and crystallized in the process, becoming enormous "barbs" piercing the heavens and earth.

Bang!

At the moment when Bahu was about to be pierced like a porcupine.

A golden light flashed and disappeared in an instant, slicing through the sky like the sharpest blade in the world.

Even though the carbonized, crystalized roots had diamond-like strength, they still could not withstand the attack of the golden light.

Snap...

Accompanied by a clear shattering sound, the living corpse-like Long Jikui made a sound for the first time.

"Kill!"

Evidently a cry of pain, yet it was like a battle cry on a deathly battlefield.

Long Jikui’s eyes bulged, muscles swelled, and the surging lava flowed even faster from within him.

But this hundred-zhang giant did not care at all, merely persistently punching towards Bahu’s position.

Swoosh—Boom!

The exaggerated sound of air being split stirred layers of sound waves.

However, having finally come to her senses, Bahu was not so easy to kill.

She simply leaned backward with the momentum, and her entire person transformed into a breeze, dispersing between heaven and earth.

By the time a bewildered Long Jikui re-locked onto his target, Bahu had already retreated high into the sky, several kilometers away.

At this moment, Bahu was panting slightly, her face full of the relief of surviving a catastrophe.

Whoosh!

Meanwhile, the previous golden light had also circled back, appearing beside Bahu in time.

In the blink of an eye, the golden light transformed into Golden Horn, dressed in a golden robe and carrying a golden gourd, warily looking down at Long Jikui below.
