The originally gigantic sphere rapidly shrunk, and countless impurities merged into the air, as if adding other things and components.
Soon, a white light flashed, and two round pills appeared in Gu Xi’s hands. The golden exterior emitted an extraordinary aura, and there were nine silver pill patterns on it, as if they were formed from auspicious clouds.
The waste and dregs of the 9,999 wasted pills turned into two large Marrow-cleansing Pills, which could usually only be refined by a grade nine alchemist.
After reading the introduction, it was even stronger than the previous Marrow-cleansing Pill. Even people above the Golden Core stage could use it to help them reach a higher level. A pill of such high quality would also have no side effects.
Gu Xi could not help but inhale in surprise, “This effect is too powerful.”
If this news were to spread, who knew how many forces would fight for it?
One should enjoy one’s own fortunes. Gu Xi immediately swallowed one of these amazing pills. Very quickly, he could feel a warm current flowing through his eight extraordinary meridians as he sat on the ground.
Gu Xi could feel an inexplicable power rising and gradually filling up the entire Dantian. His Dantian started to swell and he could vaguely hear the sound of bones cracking, as if they were being pulled by a large force.
At this age, bones had already been shaped, and it was difficult for them to change. However, the Marrow-cleansing Pill could cleanse all the meridians in the body from the inside out.
If Gu Xi’s meridians were only the size of a small stream, they were now like a big river, which could hold more spiritual energy.
This was the benefit of marrow cleansing. It could transform the body into a physique that was most suitable for cultivation and absorbing spiritual energy. Such a divine physique could make the cultivator feel like a fish in water, and the speed of cultivation was several times faster than others.
The purification process was not easy. After all, the impurities in the body had to be washed away. The process forced some parts of the body to expand, and other parts to be hidden. The sensation was akin to being crushed by a huge wheel going back and forth. The pain would penetrate deep into the bone marrow as if millions of ants were gnawing on it. It was simply unbearable.
Soon, a layer of fine sweat appeared on Gu Xi’s forehead, and his face became somewhat pale. Even so, under such intense pain, Gu Xi did not make a sound.
No one knew how long it lasted.
A burst of spiritual power suddenly emerged, like a spring. A light suddenly appeared on Gu Xi’s body, and every pore on his body was opened to the extreme, washing through his major acupoints.
Foundation Establishment level 1!
Foundation Establishment level 2!
Foundation Establishment level 3!
…
Foundation Establishment level 9!
However, this aura was extremely powerful, and it did not stop. It also rose rapidly until it reached Golden Core level 3. Only then did it stop.
Gu Xi slowly opened his eyes. His entire aura underwent an earth-shaking change. He was like a treasured sword that was about to be unsheathed. Spiritual energy surged around his body, bringing with it an inexplicable pressure.
However, in the next second, he became ordinary again. Only his pair of deep black eyes gave people a feeling of unfathomable depth.
Gu Xi did not want to reveal his true cultivation for the time being. After reaching the Golden Core stage, he would be recognized as a great cultivator by the world. The sect masters of small sects usually had this level of cultivation. If it was a medium-sized sect, elders would have this level of cultivation.
A few days ago, he was just a good-for-nothing who had been cultivating for more than ten years. If outsiders knew about his cultivation speed, their jaws would probably drop.
Even people who had fortuitous encounters did not have such a meteoric rise. If the news were to spread, it would probably cause the entire continent to go crazy.
“The effect of the Great Marrow-cleansing Pill is really good.”
Gu Xi looked at the remaining pill and planned to entrust the manager of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce to find a suitable opportunity to sell it.
This kind of pill was effective the first time, it was useless to eat another one. After all, if this kind of heaven-defying pill were common, then Golden Core cultivators would be walking around everywhere. It would be too unbalanced.
When Manager Li saw that Gu Xi returning again, he thought that Gu Xi had something important to do. He did not know if it was his misconception, but he felt that Gu Xi’s aura had changed again this time.
There had not been much pressure before, but now there was a lingering invisible pressure shrouding everywhere Gu Xi went.
“May I ask what’s the matter, Young Master Gu?”
“I want to put this here for sale.”
Manager Li’s eyes immediately lit up, thinking that Gu Xi would show him something good.
He took out a porcelain bottle casually. It was a very ordinary bottle, no different from the ones used in common medicinal stalls.
Manager Li felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and even his tone had become much duller. “Is that it…”
Manager Li did not want to refute Gu Xi. He took the little pill bottle and opened it, only to have a rich medicinal fragrance assailed his nostrils. He immediately widened his eyes. Even though he had seen many things, at this moment, he could not speak.
He stuttered through his excitement, “This, this is…”
He gripped the porcelain bottle tightly. His hands were trembling so much that one could not help but think of a patient suffering from epilepsy.
Gu XI kindly added, “It’s a Great Marrow-cleansing Pill.”
His casual tone was as if she was telling Manager Li that this was just a cabbage.
Manager Li took a deep breath. He still felt like he was in a dream. He had an unrealistic feeling.
He looked at the worthless bottle, but inside it was a Great Marrow-cleansing Pill! Even a rich man could not buy such a treasure!
Manager Li glanced at the calm Gu Xi. He even suspected that Gu Xi did not know the value of this pill. Otherwise, how could he be so calm and even use this cheap bottle as a container?
It must be known that the more precious the pill was, the more it needed to be kept in a container to prevent the pill’s effects from dissipating. If necessary, he would even use arrays and talismans to preserve the pill’s medicinal effects. From this, it could be seen that Manager Li valued it very much.
Gu Xi had actually casually picked up a shabby bottle on the street, almost as if it was just an ordinary pill.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take care of this matter.”
After Gu Xi left, Manager Li’s mood had not yet calmed down. If the news of this Great Marrow-cleansing Pill being in the chamber of commerce was to spread out, all the major sects and forces would probably try their best to squeeze their way in.
No matter the cost, they had to get it because the Great Marrow-cleansing Pill was too precious. Only grade nine alchemists could refine it. It was a rare opportunity. At present, the highest rank in the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce was only a grade six alchemist.
These two items alone were enough to move many people’s hearts. They could make a Golden Core stage cultivator reach a higher level without any side effects.
However, Gu Xi casually took them out as if they were worthless, which made Manager Li even more certain that there must be a super-powerful force behind him.
“I just don’t know what it is…”
Several names of the forces appeared in Manager Li’s mind, but he did not have any leads. However, one thing was for sure, his chamber of commerce could not afford to offend them.
Moreover, selling this pill here would undoubtedly increase the chamber of commerce’s reputation. Moreover, the profit share from it would also be considerable.
