"Does the host accept the Soul Devouring Tactic?"
As Gu He's consciousness came into contact with the black scroll, the system prompt sounded.
"Accept!"
Without hesitation, Gu He made his choice.
In the next moment, Gu He felt a little dizzy as countless information flowed into his mind.
The torrent of information was like a sharp blade that cut open his head and rushed into the depths of his mind.
With his eyes closed, Gu He focused his mind and immersed himself in the torrent of information.
After a long time, Gu He's eyelashes were stained with cold sweat. A hint of joy suddenly appeared on the corner of Gu He's mouth.
Until the end, Gu He's chest was moving up and down rapidly. It was obvious that he was extremely excited at this moment.
Immersed in the mysterious information in his mind, Gu He's body did not move. It was not until six hours later that he opened his eyes. His pitch-black eyes were filled with excitement.
"The Soul Devouring Tactic can actually directly devour other people's souls to strengthen one's soul power!"
Recalling the contents of the Soul Devouring Tactic in his mind, Gu He's eyes were filled with excitement.
"Not only that, when using the Soul Devouring Tactic to devour other people's souls, I can also check the memories in the soul!"
"This ability is really too terrifying!"
Gu He thought about the heaven-defying effects of the Soul Devouring Tactic and could not help but sigh. The Soul Devouring Tactic was indeed worthy of being an Emperor Rank Cultivation Technique.
For an alchemist, the most important thing was the cultivation of one's soul power.
Compared to Dou Qi cultivation, the cultivation of one's soul power was even more difficult.
Moreover, the further one progressed, the harder it was to increase one's soul power.
This was also the reason why there were very few high ranked alchemists in the Dou Qi continent.
Now that Gu He had mastered the Emperor Rank Cultivation Technique, the Soul Devouring Tactic, he only needed to devour other people's souls to increase his own soul power.
For other alchemists, this was no different from cheating.
After a long time, the excitement in Gu He's heart slowly calmed down. His eyes flashed with a trace of contemplation.
Although the Soul Devouring Tactic was powerful, it could not be used openly.
Once this strange and abnormal Cultivation Technique was exposed, even as a Tier 6 alchemist, Gu He would not be able to protect himself.
Therefore, Gu He must be careful when using the Soul Cultivation Technique.
"I should stabilize my cultivation first."
Thinking about how his cultivation had increased by a large amount in one go, Gu He was a little worried that his foundation would be unstable in the future. He immediately returned to his bedroom and prepared to adjust his breathing for a moment.
"Elder Gu He …"
Just as Gu He returned to his bedroom and was about to go to bed to adjust his breathing, a clear and melodious voice, like pearls falling on a jade plate, suddenly sounded from outside the pill refining room.
Gu He was slightly stunned when he heard this voice. Immediately, an elegant and noble figure flashed across his mind.
Yun Yun?
What was she doing here?
As one of Yun Yun's pursuers, his previous self had left an extremely deep impression on Gu He. At this moment, the latter was naturally able to immediately recognize the voice outside. It was the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun.
Could it be that when he broke through just now, his aura leaked out and was detected by Yun Yun?
Gu He thought of this possibility.
This shouldn't be the case!
According to Gu He's thoughts, even if the furnace exploded while refining pills in the alchemy room, it would not affect the outside world in the slightest. There was no reason for the aura of his breakthrough to leak out.
Although Gu He had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to neglect Yun Yun who was outside.
After all, the other party was the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect and a Dou Huang.
Creak!
Gu He slowly got up and quickly opened the door.
Suddenly, a green figure entered Gu He's sight.
Even though he had already accepted the memories of his predecessor and had a deep impression of the woman's appearance in his mind, Gu He could not help but be stunned when he saw her with his own eyes.
The woman before him wore a plain dress that wrapped around her voluptuous and delicate figure, and her jet black hair was coiled into a noble phoenix hairpin. Her beautiful and moving face was calm and tranquil, yet it revealed a wisp of grace and nobility that couldn't be concealed by her plain clothes.
The lady was wearing white clothes and a white dress. Her pitch-black black hair was scattered down like a waterfall and hung down to her slender waist. Her beautiful face was just like a fairy from the mountains who did not care about the mundane world.
Her eyes were filled with a moving ethereal look. Her eyes were filled with a kind of indifference that seeped into one's bones. There was not the slightest bit of competitiveness.
Of course, what attracted Gu He's attention the most was that she had two heavy principles.
Looking at the peerless beauty before him, four words flashed through Gu He's mind.
Waves …
Bah!
Peerless talent!
While Gu He was looking at Yun Yun, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes were also sizing Gu He up.
"Why do I feel that Elder Gu He is a little different from before?"
Looking at the incomparably handsome and extraordinary Gu He, Yun Yun could not help but feel a ripple in her heart.
"Elder Gu He, what's wrong?"
After that, Yun Yun saw that Gu He was staring straight at her, and she frowned slightly. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across her bright eyes.
Hearing this, Gu He immediately came to his senses, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his eyes.
Damn it, this is embarrassing …
Cough …
Coughing lightly to cover up the embarrassment in his heart, Gu He slowly looked at Yun Yun and said softly, "Sect Leader Yun, what brings you here personally?"
Seeing that Gu He had retracted his gaze, Yun Yun's expression softened as she thought of the purpose of her visit. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, "Elder Gu He, I've come this time to ask you to help me refine a qi-gathering elixir."
With that, Yun Yun extended her jade-like hand, revealing a storage ring in her palm.
"Here are two sets of materials for refining the qi-gathering elixir. I'll have to trouble you, Elder Gu He."
Hearing this, Gu He was slightly taken aback, "Refining a qi-gathering elixir?"
So this woman had come to ask for a pill.
Wait …
Qi-Gathering elixir!
Suddenly, Gu He seemed to have thought of something, and a thought appeared in his mind.
Could it be …
In order to verify his conjecture, Gu He faintly smiled and said in a probing tone, "Sect Leader, this qi-gathering elixir's effect is to allow a 9th duan Dou Qi practitioner to successfully condense a Dou Qi cyclone with a hundred percent success rate!"
"I remember that girl Yan Ran had already broken through to become a Dou Zhe, why …" With that, Gu He looked at Yun Yun with a trace of doubt.
Hearing this, Yun Yun was slightly dissatisfied. She felt that Gu He was meddling in other people's business.
But thinking of the contributions that the other party had made to the Misty Cloud Sect these few years, Yun Yun hesitated for a moment before explaining, "You also know that Yanran still has an engagement. Her fiancé is only a trash with a Dou Zhi Qi of a third level. Yanran does not approve of this engagement and wants to go to Wu Tan City to break off the engagement."
"Although the matter of breaking off the engagement is a little inappropriate, I support Yan Ran's decision in order to allow her to train in peace in the future."
"Take this qi-gathering elixir as compensation for that young man." Speaking until this point, Yun Yun's tone carried some apology.
After all, regarding the matter of breaking off the engagement, the Misty Clouds Sect could be considered to have used their strength to bully others.
As expected!
After hearing Yun Yun's words, Gu He immediately understood everything.
This qi-gathering elixir of his was refined for Xiao Yan.
Soon, Nalan Yanran would take this qi-gathering elixir and head to the Xiao clan in Wu Tan City to forcefully break off the engagement.
The storyline of 'Battle Through the Heavens' would also begin with Nalan Yanran breaking off the engagement.
Nalan Yanran's forceful breaking off of the engagement gave Xiao Yan the motivation to become strong, ultimately shattering Hun Tiandi's scheme.
It was likely that Hun Tiandi did not expect that the reason for his failure was actually due to Nalan Yanran breaking off the engagement.
