Chapter 145: Old Tricks Repeated
"Alchemy!"
Duan Gujin urgently needs various Spiritual Medicines to make higher-grade Spirit Pills now. Only by consuming higher-grade Spirit Pills can he quickly enhance his power, whereas the other two options are of little use to him in terms of rapid cultivation improvement.
"So how much do you know about alchemy?"
Lie Lei asked.
"My Spiritual Power is currently at the Third Rank level, capable of concocting Third-grade Spirit Pills." Duan Gujin answered.
"What? Third Rank level?"
Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Lie Lei was stunned, hardly believing his own ears.
"Yes, my Spiritual Power is currently at the Third Rank level, capable of concocting Third-grade Spirit Pills, and with good luck, I can even concoct Fourth-grade Spirit Pills!" Duan Gujin responded seriously once again.
After confirming that he really hadn't misheard, Lie Lei inwardly took a sharp breath.
He hadn't expected that not only was Duan Gujin's cultivation high, but he had also opened the fourth Martial Meridian, and even his Spiritual Power had reached the Third Rank level.
"Could it be that his Spiritual Power is only one rank lower than mine? How is that possible? How could someone so young possess such terrifying Spiritual Power?"
A flicker passed through Lie Lei's eyes before he told Duan Gujin that he wanted to test his Spiritual Power.
"Alright!"
Duan Gujin eagerly agreed, fully aware that he needed to display all his abilities to the Lie Lei Deputy Sect Master for the people of the Green Cloud Sect to truly believe in him.
Once Lie Lei confirmed that Duan Gujin's current level of Spiritual Power was indeed at the Third Rank, he was utterly dumbfounded and once again had his understanding of the term "prodigious" refreshed.
"Duan Gujin, can you tell me who your master is?"
After a while, with a serious face, Lie Lei asked.
"My master is someone from another continent!" Duan Gujin said earnestly.
"Another continent? People from other continents can enter the Qiankun Continent?"
Lie Lei's face was full of disbelief.
"It's true!"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, deciding to reuse an old trick; he planned to use the name of a non-existent master to awe the Green Cloud Sect.
The Green Cloud Sect had many experts, and to awe them, nothing less than absolute strength would suffice.
Currently, Duan Gujin's power was too weak; what he had were his past experiences and knowledge.
"It's true! My master told me to find him after two more years, and then together we will enter other continents!"
Duan Gujin said seriously.
"Is this really true? Can one from the Qiankun Continent also enter other continents?"
Lie Lei's breathing became unusually rapid, having heard before that the Qiankun Continent could connect to other continents, but it had always been just hearsay, and without seeing it for himself, he had never believed those so-called legends.
"It's true!"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered; he knew that in his past life, it was only by a stroke of luck that he had entered another continent.
He could only marvel at how fortunate his previous life had been!
After entering another continent, he had met the love of his life.
"Once the matters with the Green Cloud Sect are settled, I must immediately enter another continent. If I miss this chance, I don't know how many years I might have to wait!"
"Do you know how to enter other continents?"
Lie Lei asked eagerly.
"I know, but, Sect Master Lie, once you enter another continent, it would be very difficult to return to the Qiankun Continent! My master said, if you consider different continents as big islands, then a river surrounds these islands. The Qiankun Continent is at a position below the river, while other continents are situated above the river. People from other continents can enter the Qiankun Continent, but it's incredibly hard for those from the Qiankun Continent to enter other continents. However, the flow of this river is not constant, generally speaking, various reasons cause the river's direction to change. To enter an Advanced Continent, one must take advantage of this day when the river's direction changes! Once this opportunity is missed, who knows how many aeons one might have to wait!"
"So that's how it is!"
Lie Lei's heart leapt with joy; he had previously perused some classics, finding records similar to what was said.
Although there were many related records in these classics, the people of the Qiankun Continent really couldn't find a path to other continents, not knowing how to enter other continents.
"Is it dangerous to enter other continents?"
After a while, Lie Lei asked.
"There are some dangers! It really depends on luck!"
"Oh, I see!"
This time, Deputy Sect Master Lie was truly stunned by Duan Gujin; he did not expect that Duan Gujin's master would be someone from an Advanced Plane.
"Right! Only someone from an Advanced Plane could have opened the fourth Martial Meridian, only someone from other planes could easily master the essence of the Qingyun Scripture! Only someone from an Advanced Plane could have nurtured Duan Gujin to reach the Third Rank level of Spiritual Power at the age of eighteen! The person behind Duan Gujin is truly extraordinary!"
After analyzing carefully for a while, Lie Lei believed Duan Gujin's words.
The reason he chose to believe Duan Gujin was that he couldn't find any flaws in what Duan Gujin said; his words seemed perfect and impeccable.
"I must talk to Sect Master Zhuge about this immediately!"
Lie Lei felt this was of major importance and he could not make the decision on his own.
After hastily asking Duan Gujin a few more questions, he let Duan Gujin go, then immediately found Zhu Ge Hongyun to report the situation.
"What? Duan Gujin's master is from another continent?"
Even Zhu Ge Hongyun, who was accustomed to seeing ups and downs, couldn't remain calm after hearing Lie Lei's words.
"I think what Duan Gujin said must be true! Who would have thought, there really are people from other continents on the Qiankun Continent!"
Lie Lei's eyes sparkled; the Green Cloud Sect was considered the largest sect on the Qiankun Continent, but Lie Lei knew that compared to other continents, this continent lacked sufficient Primordial Power and had incomplete Rule Power, even showing signs of collapse.
For Martial Artists like them, what they hoped most was that their cultivation would break through to the ultimate limit as soon as possible.
Clearly, if they stayed on the Qiankun Continent their entire lives, they would never be able to break their cultivation to the ultimate limit.
"For a martial fanatic, this is worse than death."
"Have your people thoroughly investigate everything about Duan Gujin's past!" Zhu Ge Hongyun immediately said.
"I understand, I have already had my people tirelessly working on it!"
"It seems we need to establish a good relationship with Duan Gujin's master behind the scenes! In this case, have Duan Gujin come here to meet me!"
Zhu Ge Hongyun said.
"Alright!" Lie Lei quickly nodded in agreement.
Hearing that the Sect Master of the Green Cloud Sect, Zhuge Hongyun, wanted to meet him, Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of relief, knowing that he had achieved his goal; he had finally caught the attention of Sect Master Zhuge Hongyun of the Green Cloud Sect.
"Great! I have finally achieved my little goal!"
