Zhu Qi gently caressed Gao Xian's cheek.
The smooth touch of the skin under her fingertips filled her heart with joy.
Ever since taking that spiritual substance, her body had become as tough as steel, with her senses of touch, taste, and smell all becoming unusually dull.
Although her Primordial Golden Body Technique was becoming stronger, she knew that in such a state, it was impossible to condense true essence.
Fortunately, she met Gao Xian, whose massage technique was extremely wonderful, able to stimulate various sensations within her body.
Although somewhat embarrassed, this embarrassment was nothing compared to cultivation, hardly worth mentioning.
However, Gao Xian's cultivation level was still too weak, and although his massage technique was good, it was difficult to sustain for long.
Zhu Qi sighed softly to Gao Xian, "My body has undergone changes, only you can help me. You must cultivate diligently."
The usually tough Zhu Qi rarely showed a hint of vulnerability.
Gao Xian couldn't help but feel pity, and he promised, "I remember all the kindness you've shown me, I will definitely cultivate diligently and try to help you as much as I can."
"I'm just unwilling," Zhu Qi said indifferently, "With my Primordial Golden Body Technique at this stage, my muscles, bones, and organs are as solid as iron, the innate Yin energy has been transformed into the power of gold and wood, being able to have two-thirds of a normal person's sensations is already quite good..."
"It's late, I should go now."
As Zhu Qi left, she regained her composure, hiding the gloom between her brows.
Gao Xian watched Zhu Qi's retreating figure in the dim night, her back straight and strong, yet carrying a hint of unhideable loneliness.
Back in his room, Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh.
He wasn't sure if he was sighing for Zhu Qi or for himself.
In any case, it seemed like everyone was living a difficult life.
Zhu Qi was very important to him, not only for providing protection in terms of martial strength but also for controlling the sources of medicinal materials and being able to monitor Zhu Hong'an's movements.
Even for his own sake, he should pay more attention to Zhu Qi.
The Thunder Dragon Hand technique was too low-level, offering limited help to Zhu Qi.
To improve the Thunder Dragon Hand technique, a large amount of humane spiritual light was needed.
However, he couldn't be massaging Zhu Qi every day.
Gao Xian casually flipped open the "Dongxuan True Formula" and remembered there was a prescription specifically for regulating the primordial Yin.
Indeed, he quickly found that prescription.
Heavenly Gui Pill: Regulates the Kun phase primordial Yin Gui water.
After looking at the prescription, Gao Xian immediately understood its effects.
The Heavenly Gui Pill was a low-level pill, similar to the Deer Antler Powder, using common medicinal ingredients.
After looking at the prescription, Gao Xian could roughly infer the effects of the pill.
Despite the mysterious description in the prescription, it was actually used to adjust women's menstrual cycles, promoting blood circulation, Qi flow, and pain relief.
Such low-level prescriptions wouldn't have any extraordinary effects.
However, Gao Xian saw potential in this pill.
The Deer Antler Powder was also a low-level pill, but when elevated to the Grandmaster level, its effects would significantly improve.
Even cultivators at the late Qi Refining stage like Zhou Ye couldn't resist the temptation of the Deer Antler Powder.
According to Gao Xian's estimation, the Deer Antler Powder should be effective for Foundation Establishment cultivators as well.
However, he couldn't come into contact with Foundation Establishment cultivators, so he couldn't verify his assumptions.
Opening the "Fengyue Treasure Mirror," Gao Xian saw that there were sixty-seven points of humane spiritual light, with eighty percent of them provided by Zhu Qi just now.
It was evident that what Zhu Qi had said earlier wasn't just empty words but spoken from the heart.
The Heavenly Gui Pill also appeared on the back of the Fengyue Treasure Mirror, already in the introductory stage.
After considering for a while, Gao Xian decided not to rush to invest points in it.
The most crucial thing now was to deal with the evil spirits.
He was saving up humane spiritual light to upgrade the True Yang Spear.
The matter of the Heavenly Gui Pill could wait.
He could upgrade the True Yang Spear by practicing every day.
Even if it was a slow process, it would only take two months to upgrade the True Yang Spear.
However, he couldn't afford to delay dealing with the evil spirits.
Looking at the Iron Dragon Hand, which was already in the introductory stage, after practicing for a day, he gained seven points of proficiency.
Obviously, the Dragon Bone Pill played a crucial role.
While there was still time, Gao Xian practiced the Iron Dragon Hand once and then the Clear Wind Sword technique.
He also practiced the Flame Blast, Ice Arrow Technique, and True Yang Spear a few times.
Gao Xian returned to his room and circulated the Five Elements Technique once again, then went to meet Lan Jie in his dreams.
A fulfilling day came to an end.
The next morning, when Gao Xian woke up and checked the Fengyue Treasure Mirror again, the humane spiritual light had increased to eighty-nine points.
Clearly, Zhou Ye's promotion of the Deer Antler Powder had been quite successful, as the accumulation speed of humane spiritual light had significantly increased in recent days.
Gao Xian happily calculated the humane spiritual light, enough to upgrade the True Yang Spear.
Since evil spirits wouldn't appear during the day, he could use the time to improve the proficiency of the True Yang Spear through practice, saving some humane spiritual light.
With the Deer Antler Powder, acquiring humane spiritual light wasn't too difficult.
However, from the Great Occult Divine Art to the Thunder Dragon Hand, a vast amount of humane spiritual light was required.
Saving a bit here and there would be beneficial.
Sitting on the wooden bed, Gao Xian used sixty-eight points of humane spiritual light to upgrade the True Yang Spear to the Grandmaster level.
In the Fengyue Treasure Mirror, Lan Jie formed hand seals and chanted an incantation, a golden long spear shot out from the mirror and directly entered Gao Xian's forehead.
Gao Xian felt a burning sensation on his forehead, as numerous exquisite techniques for wielding the True Yang Spear flooded into his mind.
Once he fully absorbed these experiences, everything in front of him suddenly became brighter.
Upon upgrading the True Yang Spear to the Grandmaster level, Gao Xian noticed that his six senses had become significantly sharper.
This time, the feeling of improvement was even more pronounced.
In the dim bedroom, where he could barely see the layout before, the room now appeared much brighter, allowing him to see many details.
Gao Xian was pleasantly surprised, knowing that his spiritual power had been enhanced, subsequently improving his six senses.
Today, Zhu Qi had shared a lot of knowledge about cultivation with him.
According to Zhu Qi, spiritual power was the cultivator's mental strength, and when spiritual power was enhanced to the extreme, a trace of true essence would be born, which was the foundation of Foundation Establishment.
Foundation Establishment was a transformative process for a cultivator's body and spirit.
A cultivator needed both a strong body and strong spiritual power to complete Foundation Establishment.
Practicing soul-type spells did enhance a cultivator's spiritual power.
However, soul-type spells also consumed a large amount of the cultivator's essence and blood, posing a significant burden on the body.
Gao Xian, however, didn't feel this burden.
Upon upgrading the True Yang Spear to the Grandmaster level, he felt spiritually fulfilled, his Qi and blood abundant, and his energy almost overflowing from his body.
This feeling was akin to having just taken two Deer Antler Powders!
He could confirm that the Grandmaster-level True Yang Spear was harmless to the body, even beneficial.
Checking the front of the Fengyue Treasure Mirror, his lifespan had increased from sixty-six to sixty-eight.
Evidently, the Grandmaster-level True Yang Spear had made his body healthier and stronger, thus increasing his lifespan.
Gao Xian was overjoyed, realizing that the True Yang Spear had such an effect, making it worth further investment.
On the back of the Fengyue Treasure Mirror, the changes brought about by the Grandmaster-level True Yang Spear were clearly marked.
True Yang Spear: Condenses spiritual power into an invisible long spear, capable of refining spiritual power, subduing souls, and dispelling evil spirits (1/500 Grandmaster).
Comparing it, Gao Xian noted that the True Yang Spear at the Grandmaster level had gained the ability to temper spiritual intent.
The power to subdue souls and dispel evil spirits had been enhanced, and the addition of a word compared to the Expert level clearly indicated a significant increase in power.
The next level for the True Yang Spear was the Grandmaster level, requiring five hundred points of humane spiritual light.
It seemed that he wouldn't be able to upgrade it anytime soon.
After pondering for a while, Gao Xian took out the Six Yang Talisman hidden near his chest and looked at it for a while.
Living in constant fear every night was unbearable.
With the True Yang Spear upgraded to the Grandmaster level, its power had at least doubled, enough to eliminate the evil spirits.
Even if the True Yang Spear failed, he still had the Six Yang Talisman!
Gao Xian made up his mind, taking advantage of his current state, he would deal with the evil spirits tonight!
