Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body

Chapter 203: Worst-Case Scenario, Loss of Spiritual Power and Cultivation

??

Realizing that there was not much spiritual power left in his body, he felt like he was on dry land and would need a long time to nourish himself.

The current situation was even more serious than Gu Xi had imagined. After all, it was not easy to break through the spatial turbulence.

His meridians were all damaged and his cultivation had all been lost. He did not know when he would be able to recover.

Gu Xi found joy in his suffering and comforted himself, “Forget it. As long as I am still alive, anything is possible. At most, I can start all over again. It is already fortunate that I did not lose an arm or a leg. No matter what, it is still better than falling into the hands of the Demon Venerable.”

Little Nine wagged its tail at the side as if he was trying to comply with what he said.

Gu Xi stroked Little Nine’s furry head. “This time, it’s all thanks to you.”

If Little Nine had not come out of the Spirit Beast Space, the demon beasts in this forest would have long since taken advantage of him being unconscious and gnawed away at his bones.

Although Gu Xi had lost all of his spiritual power, the damage to his spiritual sense was not serious. He could vaguely sense that there should be demon beasts in this forest.

Fortunately, Little Nine’s bloodline had a suppressive effect on these demon beasts. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although he did not have spiritual power and his cultivation was no longer there, Gu Xi was not worried. After all, he had the system in his hands. Moreover, he could refine pills. It was only a matter of time before he recovered.

“Where am I?”

Looking at the surrounding environment, he realized that it was a strange and terrifying scene that he had never seen before. The spatial turbulence was extremely unstable. Very few people could survive it.

It was connected to various spatial passageways. It was very likely that Gu Xi was still in the Capital, or it was possible that he had come to a very far place. In short, all of these were uncertain.

Just as Gu Xi was thinking, the sound of footsteps could be heard not far away.

Someone was coming!

Gu Xi was shocked. Thinking of his current identity, no matter if it was the Righteous Path or the Demon Region, they probably wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. If someone were to bump into him in such a state, he might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

The sound of footsteps was very close. It was too late to hide.

“Hey, Senior Brothers and Sisters, come and see. There’s someone here.”

A young girl in green clothes stuck her head out. Her face was innocent and her head was tied with a pair of ponytails. She was simply tied with a green ribbon. It fluttered in the wind and was filled with an indescribable cuteness.

When her gaze landed on Little Nine, she could not help but exclaim, “So cute.”

Soon, a few men and women dressed in green robes walked over.

“Who are you? Why did you appear alone in the Phantom Forest?”

The moment they saw Gu Xi, they did not shout out to kill. It was as if they were looking at a stranger.

This made Gu Xi feel a little strange.

It was not that he was narcissistic. The people from the Hall of Flowing Light, the Pure Lotus Sect, and the Ethereal Illusion Mansion were not people to be trifled with. Logically speaking, after such a long time, his portrait should have spread all over the country and become the target of everyone’s wanted list.

Moreover, that group of people had even splashed dirty water on him, thinking that the Demon Region was colluding with him. No matter how one looked at it, these people’s expressions should not have been so calm.

“I...”

The man in the lead should be their eldest Senior Brother. With a glance, he discovered that Gu Xi had lost all of his spiritual power, and was no different from an ordinary person.

“You’re an ordinary person?” Then, he shook his head. “That’s not right. How could an ordinary person enter the Phantom Forest?”

Seeing Gu Xi’s pale face, he guessed that he must have encountered a powerful demon beast and thus suffered heavy injuries.

Gu Xi was also puzzled. Could it be that this group of people were deliberately pretending not to know each other so that he would let down his guard?

Seeing that they were not moving, they did not show any change in expression. He wanted to see what they were up to, so he said vaguely, “Yes, I accidentally entered this place by mistake. In the end, I was attacked by a demon beast and got injured.”

The young lady in green who first noticed Gu Xi said, “Senior Brother is seriously injured and has lost all of his cultivation. Why don’t we bring him along? Otherwise, if we encounter a demon beast, he won’t be able to escape.”

The others looked troubled. Clearly, they did not want to bring along Gu Xi, who was a burden. Li Qing pulled her to the side.

“Junior Sister Fang, I know that you are kind, but we don’t even know the background of this person. What if he is a bad person?”

Fang Qinyu said disapprovingly, “Senior Sister, there aren’t so many bad people in this world. Moreover, he’s heavily injured, so he can’t pose a threat to us at all. What if he’s not? Then wouldn’t we just be leaving him to die?”

Most importantly, Fang Qinyu did not say that Gu Xi was so good-looking, so he definitely was not a bad person.

Li Qing was rendered speechless. However, the man next to her, their Senior Brother Wu Haozhe, frowned and said, “Junior Sister Fang, don’t make a scene. What your Senior Sister said makes sense. Besides, don’t forget that we have a mission to accomplish. If we bring him along, we will inevitably be distracted.”

“But master once said that saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Let’s bring him along. Is that alright, Senior Brother? Senior Sister?”

Unable to resist Fang Qinyu’s request, Li Qing and Wu Haozhe had no choice but to agree.

“Alright, then we’ll bring him along. However, after we leave the forest, he can’t follow us.”

Gu Xi followed behind the team. The others all had cold and indifferent expressions. Only Fang Qinyu appeared to be familiar with them. The little girl looked innocent and carefree, without any shrewdness.

Very quickly, Gu Xi also knew that this group of people came from Moyu Tower. This time, they had come down the mountain to gain experience and do missions.

He had roughly grasped the basic situation, but this group of people did not have any intention of making a move. This could not help but make his doubts deepen.

“Where is Moyu Tower?”

Hearing these words, Fang Qinyu’s gaze was somewhat strange. She said in surprise, “You actually don’t know where Moyu Tower is?”

This gaze made Gu Xi feel as if he was a country bumpkin.

To be honest, there were quite a number of large and small sects coming from all over the Capital. Gu Xi had a good memory, but after thinking about it for a long time, this name was extremely unfamiliar.
