Chapter 140: Chapter 113 Immortality Pill and Immortal Sword_3

After much struggle, Lan Yongning couldn’t get up no matter what. He looked up at Gu Wen, who was pulling Yu Hua along, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Originally, he hadn’t planned on going up, but seeing that Gu Wen could make it, he followed.

It must be known that half a month ago, this man was shamelessly asking him for lessons in swordsmanship, and he even kicked him out of his house. Now, why was he walking at the forefront, even leading a Taoist Heavenly Girl with no Sword Dao cultivation?

Xiao Yunyi said coldly, "Get down; this is as far as you go."

He always spoke straightforwardly, and often, the truth was the most hurtful.

Lan Yongning’s mood began to fray. He lost his usual scholarly demeanor and muttered, "Impossible, why is this happening? Clearly, he could go up, clearly, you were asking me for guidance before."

"Something must be wrong, is it the Taoist Heavenly Girl..."

"Brother Lan!"

Gu Wen’s voice, imbued with Divine Thought, entered the other’s mind, causing Lan Yongning to be momentarily dazed before regaining a bit of clarity.

Lan Yongning’s nature wasn’t bad, otherwise he wouldn’t have taught Gu Wen swordsmanship. It was just that the too drastic change in their statuses, along with realizing that the prodigy he always thought was at the same level was actually a step above him.

The elite circles he thought he belonged to, he actually had no right to stand in.

What truly shattered his spirit was Gu Wen, someone who once was below him, had surpassed him in the blink of an eye.

Unlike the wooden Xiao Yunyi, Gu Wen understood the intricacies of human emotions and naturally wouldn’t watch Lan Yongning fall into his Heart Demon. This also counted as a favor; Lan Yongning might not be the strongest, but he wasn’t too far off either.

More friends mean more paths; it’s always right to be kind to others.

After a moment of silence, Lan Yongning nodded at Gu Wen and said, "Thank you."

Then he stepped back. The pressure suddenly decreased, and he stood up and started walking back down, his figure tinged with a hint of desolation.

-----------------

Gu Wen and the others continued upwards when suddenly someone tugged at Gu Wen’s sleeve. He turned around to see Chi Yu Zi.

She was looking down, her expression unclear. She clutched her chest tightly with one hand, her skin beginning to turn an eerie red, and then growing even redder as if there were churning magma beneath her skin.

The temperature around started to rise; Gu Wen’s clothes finally began to burn. He was somewhat astonished and thought to himself, "Could her body surface temperature reach several hundred degrees?"

Chi Yu Zi grabbed a handful of ashes, then leaned against the wall, taking deep breaths mixed with painful moans.

It seemed she wasn’t overwhelmed, or else she wouldn’t have been able to stand.

Thump!

Her fragile body directly sunk into the wall as tough as refined iron.

Gu Wen raised his eyebrows, not waiting for him to come closer to check, when a hoarse voice sounded, not belonging to any of their group.

"Hehe... Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, Immortal Daoist Body, this thing is still being refined. Hiss, how come this girl has just one soul in her body?"

Turning his head, the voice’s source was Jun Yan, whose handsome face was covered in a layer of dark purple Demonic Qi, half of his face resembling another person.

"You old thing, get down from there!"

Jun Yan abruptly grabbed at the face formed from Demonic Qi, violently tearing a piece of his own face off, blood dripping to the ground.

"Ah!!!"

Chi Yu Zi suddenly screamed hysterically, her abdomen radiated a brilliant golden light, endless Mana rushing towards them like a tsunami.

Feeling just a fraction of it was still more than a hundred times what Gu Wen possessed.

One moment, two moments, three moments...

The two gradually calmed down. Yu Hua, appearing unsurprised, said, "Let’s go."

Gu Wen followed Yu Hua, his thoughts in turmoil.

Why is everyone so terribly sick?

Those with split personalities, those with physical issues, those with amnesia, those who had gone mad from seeking the True Sword Dao.

Truly a gathering of heroes.

Stepping onto the eighth level, they finally saw the water of the Sword Pond, and in the center of the Sword Pond, a simple and unadorned dark black sword scabbard floated, a streak of golden roots extending from within.

The Immortality Pill and the Immortal Sword!?
