Chapter 354 - Just One Step Away from the Door!

In the pitch-black Void Tunnel, a huge spirit boat flew past at an extremely fast speed. Although its speed was extremely fast, it was still nothing compared to this seemingly endless Void Tunnel.

On the deck, Gu Xi and Song Qingluan curiously looked at everything around them, but soon, they lost interest.

The surroundings were pitch black. Apart from the terrifying spatial power, there was nothing much to see. Helplessly, Gu Xi could only turn his gaze to the spirit boat.

The overall structure of the spirit boat was not very different from commercial ships. He estimated that there were at least dozens of guest rooms on it, which could allow at least a hundred people to travel through the Void Tunnel at the same time.

Most importantly, the cost of building this spirit boat was definitely not cheap!

According to what Yun Zhiyi had said earlier, the spirit boat was a flying spirit tool, so it naturally had to be classified according to the level of the spirit tool. According to Gu Xi’s guess, this spirit boat had to be at least a heaven-grade spirit tool!

“A heaven-grade flying spirit tool. This woman is indeed not ordinary.”

After briefly sizing up the spirit boat, Gu Xi could not help but feel deeply moved.

Although the Central Plains was vast and abundant, it was not to the extent of being so generous!

There was only one possibility. The identity and background of the green-clothed woman in front of her could not be underestimated even in the Central Plains!

Just the fact that she was accompanied by a Great Saint cultivator as a guard was enough to explain everything. This made Gu Xi even more determined to have less contact with her.

“I think this journey will not be too short. You should rest early.”

Qing Zhu smiled slightly and did not stay any longer. She turned around and lightly tapped her jade-like feet. Her entire body floated up to a room on the highest floor.

Elder Gu chuckled and cupped his hands towards Gu Xi and the other two. “You can take care of yourselves for the rest of the time. This old man will take his leave.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Gu’s figure gradually disappeared from where he stood.

Hearing their words, Gu Xi could not help but feel a little puzzled. He turned her head to look at Yun Zhiyi and asked softly, “How long will it take to reach the Eastern Continent?”

“At least a month.” Yun Zhiyi estimated for a while and then replied.

Gu Xi could nto help but suck in a breath of cold air. At least a month!

With the current flying speed of this spirit boat, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would travel ten thousand miles a day. If it traveled for a whole month, it would at least cover a distance of three hundred thousand miles!

Moreover, this was the most conservative distance!

“You still have a lot to see in the future.” Yun Zhiyi patted Gu Xi’s shoulder, and then also found a room to rest in.

Gu Xi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. His pitch-black eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.

That’s right, his knowledge was still too little, but it did not hurt him at all. On the contrary, it made him yearn for the world he had never seen before.

He firmly believed that one day, he would stand at the top of the world!

“Since that’s the case, Junior Sister, let’s have a good rest.” Gu Xi nodded to Song Qingluan beside him, turned around, and left.

Looking at Gu Xi’s departing figure, Song Qingluan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she did not say a word.

Ten days later.

spirit boat, in a certain room.

On the bed, Gu Xi, dressed in a green robe, was sitting cross-legged. The spirit energy in his meridians was circulating rapidly, and from time to time, a slight swelling sensation could be felt in his Dantian.

Faint spiritual energy was drifting around his body. As he breathed, it was absorbed into his body, and as he exhaled, the impurities in his body were gently expelled.

A moment later, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his pitch-black eyes slowly opened.

“Just a little more,” Gu Xi said faintly, and could not help but frown.

In these short ten days, he finally had enough time to improve his cultivation. He originally wanted to take advantage of this period of time to take another step forward from the peak of the initial stage of the Saint stage, however, he had not made any progress.

He was only one step away from the intermediate Saint stage.

Once he broke through that barrier, his strength would increase by more than several times!

However, that barrier had blocked him from entering.

Now that he was about to return to the Eastern Continent, his strength would naturally increase as much as possible. After all, there was still a life-and-death battle waiting for him there.

“I can’t go on like this!”

Gu Xi was a little distressed, but soon, an idea flashed through his mind.

Medicinal pills! Refining pills!

After staying in the southern continent for so long, he had almost forgotten about this thing!

Now, he was only one step away from the final step. If he could have the assistance of a suitable medicinal pill, then breaking through to the intermediate level of the Sage stage would naturally be a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi no longer hesitated. He took out all the medicinal pills and pill formulas from his storage bag.

In an instant, all kinds of medicinal fragrances mixed with the fragrance of spirit herb ingredients spread far and wide. Meanwhile, Gu Xi began to bury his head in searching for the medicinal pills he wanted.

After a moment, he could not help but feel a little disappointed.

He searched through all the medicinal pills, but he did not find any medicinal pills that could help him break through to the next realm. However, he did find a medicinal pill formula called the Saint Breakthrough Pill.

The Saint Breakthrough Pill was an eighth-grade pill. It could provide a large amount of pure spiritual energy for cultivators below the Great Saint to break through to the next realm. The only drawback was that a cultivator could only consume one Saint Breakthrough Pill in their entire life.

However, this was not the most fatal part. The most fatal part was that Gu Xi did not have any of the medicinal ingredients needed for the Saint Breakthrough Pill formula.

In other words, this recipe was completely useless. It was just a piece of paper.

“What a pity!”

After putting everything back into his bag, Gu Xi lay down helplessly.

If he had the medicinal ingredients that he needed for the Saint Breakthrough Pill, he would definitely refine it immediately. Then, he would take advantage of this period of time to break through and increase his strength.

However, he had the pill formula but no ingredients. This could not help but make him a little anxious.

Bang!

At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly sounded.

Gu Xi’s expression turned cold. He instantly got up from the bed. The spiritual power in his body began to circulate almost subconsciously, and he was ready to fight at any time.

“Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you?”

The door to the room had already opened, and Qing Zhu leaned against the door and said faintly.

“So it’s Miss Qing Zhu. May I know why you’re looking for me?”

Recognizing the person, Gu Xi restrained his aura on the surface, but the vigilance in his heart did not dare to be lowered in the slightest.

Although Qing Zhu looked like a harmless and beautiful woman, Gu Xi would not be fooled by these things.
