Chapter 326 - 323: Realm Recovery

So Dongfang Jian stayed in the Eternal Cave.

During the day, he followed the wooden man to learn spells, and at night, he went to cultivate a rapport with the Black Fiend Gourd.

Every day was very fulfilling.

"Hmm, not bad," the wooden man nodded. "You have a good understanding and a solid foundation. As long as you work hard, you will definitely stand out."

"It's mainly because Master's teaching is excellent," Dongfang Jian delivered a well-timed compliment.

"Has the Black Fiend Gourd accepted you yet?"

"Not yet..." Dongfang Jian shook his head. "But I will keep trying. No matter the cost, I must subdue the Black Fiend Gourd."

"The Black Fiend Gourd is a Spiritual Treasure, proud and lofty. Say more pleasant things to it, be accommodating, and once you coax it into a good mood, it will naturally acknowledge you."

"Understood!" Dongfang Jian hesitated. "Master, I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"Do the descendants of the Niu Family know about your existence?"

The wooden man shook his head. "They don't know. I've never shown my face, nor have I contacted anyone from the Niu Family."

"Oh." Dongfang Jian nodded. "Do you plan to remain in hiding forever?"

"Is there a problem with that?"

"Ah! No problem, I just thought... Master should make a trip to the Niu Family, to intimidate the descendants a bit..."

The wooden man waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need for that."

"I was just..." Dongfang Jian wanted to say more, but the wooden man didn't give him the opportunity.

"I'm tired and need to rest." The wooden man got up and walked towards the depths of the cave.

Watching the wooden man's retreating figure, Dongfang Jian let out a soft sigh: "Once a powerhouse who stirred up storms and was admired by all, has fallen to such a state. It's pitiful and lamentable, sigh..."

...

Let's leave Dongfang Jian's story there for now and talk about Gao Fei's situation.

After the poison was removed, Gao Fei found a secluded place for closed-door cultivation.

Two months later, Gao Fei finished his cultivation.

"I've finally returned to the Golden Core Realm. What a difficult journey it was." Gao Fei swung his fist vigorously, "Crack, pop!" The air was cleaved by his punch, emitting a crisp and piercing friction noise.

Months ago, Gao Fei took a Teleportation Array to Elysium. An accident occurred along the way, which damaged his Dantian, and he lost all his cultivation. In order to repair his Dantian, Gao Fei joined the Tianyang Sect. Using their secret techniques, it took him months to fix his Dantian and regain all his lost cultivation.

"The first layer of the Golden Core Realm!" A gleam flickered in Gao Fei's eyes. "From now on, I'm truly a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm."

"What do you plan to do next?" Xuan Jizi's voice echoed in his mind.

"Travel around. Forge my mental state while searching for cultivation resources," Gao Fei had his plans ready.

"Hmm, similar to what I thought," Xuan Jizi said. "For cultivators, mental cultivation is very important as well. If the mental state is unstable, it is easy to become possessed by devils." Pausing a moment, he continued, "Seek out more resources like spiritual medicine and spirit stones; anything that helps your cultivation should be sought after."

"Of course," Gao Fei laughed. "Elysium is filled with treasures everywhere. As long as I search diligently, I'm sure to find many. If I can find a Spirit Stone mine, then I'll make a fortune, heh heh..."

"Don't daydream," Xuan Jizi countered. "The Spirit Stone mines have already been divided among the sects and other powers."

"Nothing's absolute," Gao Fei was quite optimistic. "Maybe I'll be the one to find an untapped Spirit Stone mine."

"The chances are slim."

"No matter what, I have to give it a try."

"You can try, but don't act recklessly. No matter what, staying alive is always the top priority."

"You're really nagging."

"It's for your own good."

"Enough, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm off now!" Gao Fei stood tall and proud, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly, "The treasure hunt begins now!!! Treasures, tremble mightily! You'll soon be mine!"

"Gao Fei." Xuan Jizi called out.

"What's up?"

"You seem to have forgotten something."

"What thing?"

"A very important thing, especially important."

"What exactly is it?"

"If you think about it carefully, you should be able to remember, right?"

"Damn it! Can't you just get to the point? Stop beating around the bush!"

"Your memory is really so bad..." Xuan Jizi sighed, "Here's a little hint for you, Little Thunder Sound Temple, Demon Sky Tower."

"Oh no!"

Gao Fei slapped his forehead, "How could I forget that? That's really not like me! Xuan Jizi, thank goodness you reminded me, otherwise I really wouldn't have remembered."

"To forget something so important, you really... I don't even know what to say to you."

"I apologize to you, I admit my mistake, and promise that something similar will never happen again."

"I hope so," Xuan Jizi harrumphed.

Gao Fei turned around and hurried into the cave; then he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and manipulated his soul to enter the Little Thunder Sound Temple.

"I opened two wooden doors last time, and now that my cultivation has improved, I should be able to open the third wooden door, right?" Gao Fei's soul moved quickly, and soon arrived in front of the third wooden door. Gao Fei's soul morphed a hand and grabbed a cushion on the ground.

With just a slight effort, the cushion was lifted: "Haha, it really works..." Last time, he had exhausted all his strength and still failed to pick up the cushion, leaving Gao Fei extremely frustrated. Today, finally having lifted the cushion, his mood instantly became exceedingly pleasant.

The moment the cushion was lifted, the Little Thunder Sound Temple shook three times, and a palm imprint appeared on the wooden door.

Gao Fei's soul put down the cushion and walked over, spread his five fingers, and placed them into the palm imprint.

"Pfft."

The tightly closed wooden door slowly opened.

"Hey!" Once the wooden door was fully open, Gao Fei's soul eagerly stepped inside. There was a wooden desk inside the secret room, with a small box on top of it. Inside the box was a yellowed piece of paper with writing on it.

Gao Fei's soul walked over and took out the paper, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." The words on the paper all jumped out and turned into a cluster of light spots, which rushed into Gao Fei's soul.

"The spell of the Immortal Buddha Finger has been completed a bit more."

"Keep it up! Time to open the fourth wooden door."

Gao Fei's soul, brimming with excitement, walked further inside, and in no time came to the fourth wooden door. There was a cushion beside the door, and Gao Fei's soul morphed a big hand, attempting to pick up the cushion on the ground.

"Ugh... it's so heavy... I can't lift it..."

After a few tries, Gao Fei's soul gave up.

"I thought that regaining Golden Core Realm Cultivation would allow me to open several wooden doors, but who knew..." Gao Fei's soul sighed, "Does it mean... that to open each wooden door, one must advance a major realm? Qi Gathering Stage Cultivation for the first wooden door, Inedia Stage Cultivation for the second, Golden Core Realm Cultivation for the third... Following this logic...

to open the fourth wooden door, I must advance to the Nascent Soul Stage..."
