Chapter 13

The two Blood Qi Pills entered his abdomen and turned into a warm current that flowed through Gu Chen's limbs and bones.

If the Blood Qi in his body was a cluster of flames, he could clearly feel that the flames were much stronger now.

The abundance of Blood Qi allowed his body to advance even faster. Circulating his cultivation technique, his elemental energy seeped into the depths of his bones, subtly changing his marrow source …

An hour later, the surging Blood Qi weakened, and Gu Chen could clearly feel that his cultivation, which had just entered the Physical Body Tier Six not long ago, had increased by a large margin.

This was much faster than just cultivating, which made him very happy.

"Continue!"

Gu Chen did not stop. He took out the remaining three Blood Qi Pills from the bottle, swallowed them, and continued cultivating!

Two days later.

The four bottles beside Gu Chen were empty, and he had already consumed a total of 75 Blood Qi Pills.

If any Wuchen Sect disciple knew about this, they would definitely be shocked and say that Gu Chen was crazy.

Blood Qi Pills could strengthen one's Blood Qi and increase one's cultivation, but they were only mortal grade pills after all. There were still drawbacks.

Wuchen Sect only gave outer sect disciples five Blood Qi Pills a month, and this was reasonable. Normally, it would take three to four days to digest a Blood Qi Pill. If the frequency of consumption was too high, it could easily damage one's body.

As for Gu Chen, he had consumed all the Blood Qi Pills in just two days. Logically speaking, it would not be strange if he bled to death from his orifices!

But now, Gu Chen's breathing was long and stable, and a strong aura constantly overflowed from his body. He did not look like he was unable to withstand it at all.

Ding —

At a certain moment, a sound similar to tinnitus came from Gu Chen's body. He opened his eyes, which were as warm as jade.

The next moment, the pores on his body continuously discharged black filth, which lasted for dozens of breaths.

When it was all over, his entire body had turned into a mud man, and the entire room was filled with a foul stench!

Marrow cleansing!

This was the characteristic of the Physical Body Tier Seven Marrow Creation realm. In just two days, Gu Chen's cultivation had advanced again!

This was something to be happy about. Gu Chen, who had not spoken for two days, opened his mouth. The first thing he said was, "I'm so hungry!"

The energy from the Vitality Pill had been used to advance, so he was starving.

This hunger was more than ten times stronger than before.

He quickly got up, searched the room for the pancake his mother had left him two days ago, and wolfed it down.

The pancakes made by his mother were very delicious. Gu Chen loved to eat them since he was a child.

This kind of food was easy to preserve and didn't spoil easily. Therefore, his mother had made a lot of it before she came, enough for Gu Chen to eat for ten days to half a month.

However, right now, Gu Chen was practically eating one in a single bite. In no time at all, he had actually finished all the pancakes.

After eating and drinking some water, he felt a little full and finally recovered.

"I've long heard that after reaching Fleshly Body Level 2, one would become especially hungry and have an especially good appetite. However, I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated!"

Gu Chen sighed. Smelling the stench on his body, he quickly went to take a bath.

After the shower, he stood in front of the mirror and was surprised to find that he had become taller and thinner.

He was not fat to begin with. Now that he had become thinner, his figure looked a little thin.

Fortunately, he had been training all year round, and his muscles were streamlined. He was not weak, but rather, he looked strong.

He could feel that the Qi and blood in his body were many times stronger than before, but it was hidden.

"Now the power of a punch should be more than four thousand pounds."

Gu Chen clenched his fists. The average Fleshly Body Level 2 had at most four thousand pounds of strength. It was normal for him to have four thousand pounds of strength after cultivating the Nature of the Sky Art.

"Now, I can go to the inner sect."

He took a deep breath. If he wanted to defeat Ye Qingshuang, he had to first participate in the Rising Dragon Ceremony, which was only eligible for inner sect disciples.

Gu Chen did not know if there was a specific time limit for the registration of the ceremony. Now that there were only about 05 days left, it was better to become an inner sect disciple as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen changed his clothes and put the iron sword on his waist. He left the outer sect's tenth peak and walked toward the Dustless Valley where the inner sect was located.

...

The Dustless Valley and the Stainless Valley, as well as the three peaks of the inner sect, were the hinterland of the Dustless Sect.

Other than exceptions like Elder Nangong, all the elders and inner sect disciples of the upper echelons of the sect usually lived in these places.

And the Dustless Valley was the dividing line between the outer sect and the inner sect. There were many important halls of the Dustless Sect here.

At this moment, at the entrance of the Dustless Valley, Gu Chen, who looked frail but was full of spirit, strode over.

At the entrance of the valley stood a huge decorated archway. Gu Chen raised his head and looked at it, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

This decorated archway was called the Exuvia Tower, and there were three hundred wooden dummies inside.

As long as one passed the wooden dummies, one could enter the inner sect from the outer sect and become an inner sect disciple!

This was the method passed down by the ancestors to identify inner sect disciples. If one could walk through the main entrance of the Exuvia Tower and walk out from the back door, he would be recognized as a mortal and have the hope of reaching the Transcendent Realm!

When Gu Chen was still an odd-job worker working in the pill workshop, he often had to pass through the Dustless Valley.

However, at that time, he could only enter the Dustless Valley from the small path beside the Exuvia Tower. He could not walk into this majestic decorated archway at all.

Now, he finally had the ability to challenge this place, so one could imagine how excited he was.

When he arrived in front of the Exuvia Tower, Gu Chen was overwhelmed with emotions.

It had been two years. Ye Qingshuang had passed this place very early and stood at a height that ordinary people could only look up to. And now, he was finally here.

"Look, someone is going to challenge the Exuvia Tower again!"

Because it was located at the boundary between the inner and outer sect, there were always people coming and going near the Exuvia Tower. Immediately, some disciples noticed Gu Chen.

Once one entered the Exuvia Tower and succeeded in the challenge, they would become an inner sect disciple, and their status in the sect would change drastically. Therefore, every time someone challenged, it would attract a lot of attention.

"Isn't that Gu Chen? He just entered the outer sect not long ago, why does he want to enter the inner sect? "

Some disciples recognized Gu Chen, and their faces were filled with astonishment.

Previously, Gu Chen taught Han Dongliang and the others a lesson, which made him famous. Many outer sect disciples just found out that he was no longer a servant.

However, only a few days had passed, and he actually came to challenge the Exuvia Tower, wanting to enter the inner sect. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was really biting off more than he could chew.

"I heard from a few servants that Ye Qingshuang and Gu Chen broke off their engagement, and this Gu Chen threatened to defeat her in the Rising Dragon Ceremony. Could it be true?"

A disciple said in shock. To participate in the Rising Dragon Ceremony, one had to be an inner sect disciple.

If that was the case, then it could be understood why Gu Chen was so anxious to enter the inner sect.

"There's actually such a thing. Although we can understand him, isn't this too much of a show-off?"

"Exactly, Senior Sister Ye has the Martial Sage Physique. How could Gu Chen defeat her? Being so eager for quick success will only bring harm to his future. "

Everyone sighed. Gu Chen had taught the four outer sect bullies a lesson, and he had won a lot of good impressions.

At this moment, there were fewer sarcastic remarks, and more regrets.

"That brat actually wants to enter the inner sect. I have to tell Brother Han and the others about this quickly."

A shifty-eyed disciple in the crowd murmured, then turned around and left quickly.

Gu Chen did not notice the discussion of the people not far away. He adjusted his emotions and stepped into the Exuvia Tower without hesitation!
