The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 42's. Powder Connecting Life

Inside the secret hallway of the college, Guxiong accidentally meets Lenfan, who at the time is also hiding inside the hallway.

Lenfan had just arrived with his father from a trip to visit White Cross College, when he saw the chaos that occurred in the college, his father told Lenfan to hide in the secret passageway.

Guxiong who saw Lenfan in the hallway, did not ask Lenfan anything. Guxiong only asked Lenfan to listen to him tell him the whole incident that happened at that time, that all of it happened because of the evil plan that his family carried out.

Guxiong recounts that his grandfather and great-grandfather cooperated with someone who turned out to be the great enemy of the ancestor of the Len breed, the descendants of the evil pure blood breed.

".....that's how it happened, my mother only realized that the person they were working with was the one who worked for the descendants of the pure blood breed who had an old feud with the Len breed "

Guxiong did not know about the Abu-Abu Cult. Based on the message his mother left him, Guxiong only knew that this attack was carried out by the descendants of the pure blood breed, Guxiong, the combined attack of the light sky tribe and the dark sky tribe that had a long-standing feud with the ancestor of the Len breed.

Lenfan just silently listened to what Guxiong told him. After a while of listening to Guxiong's story, Lenfan became resentful towards the Guxiong family especially towards his great-grandfather, Xinglau, but he also felt sorry for what ultimately befell the Guxiong family.

As Lenfan listened to the entire story of the Guxiong family's evil plan, he was sitting leaning against the wall of the hallway holding a red stone pendant hanging from his neck. Lenfan looked at the pendant with a sad look.

Lenfan is worried about the fate of his family, the fate of his father, his mother, his uncle, and many other college relatives, but despite this, Lenfan is unable to do anything about it, he is too afraid to go out and make sure of their circumstances. He and Guxiong could only hear the sounds of fighting, the sounds of screams, and the occasional sound of explosions, from within the secret passageway.

In the end after finishing all the stories, Guxiong apologized for representing his entire family. Guxiong did that while crying. Lenfan just nodded slowly with tears that also pooled in both his eyeballs.

_Night, in the Dimensional World, Mouhuli_

*A day passed, I came out of the secret passageway with Guxiong, then we saw a situation that we will never forget in our lifetime*

Gofan recounted that after that, he and Guxiong decided to go to Guxiong's father's extended family, to the Gu family's residence. He stayed there for two years, before finally having to leave the residence and wander.

*so, I didn't like that old Xinglau, the old man always got in the way of Doctor Len, when he went to see his grandfather, but I never thought he was doing a rebellion*

Julala at that time always followed wherever Lenchan went, most of the stories told Gofan already knew, he witnessed the competition for the position of Mahaguru from the pocket of Lenchan's clothes.

The story Julala does not know is the story of Xinglau's evil plan, which ultimately leads to his own family's destruction. Julala also did not expect that other than the Xing family, it turned out that there was another party who wanted to destroy the Len breed.

*Xiashe, take this, I have two, keep Uncle Lenchan's inheritance in it, I don't like to see you spewing herbs like before*

Imbuh Gofan, when giving a pocket of space that he has been using to store the needs of ordinary people.

*Thank you, I'll return this bag, just wait, I'll be right back, shhh, then I'm gone, you rest*

Julala left Gofan who was sitting in the yard next to his hut.

*Gofan, do you know what those pureblood breeds were looking for at your father's college? there is no way that their motive is just to settle an old feud, right?*

Julala stopped and turned her head towards Gofan, she was curious as to what made the pure blood breed descendant commit such a cruel massacre towards the Len family.

*I also think so, but for now I don't know what purpose they're doing that*

Gofan said, as he stood and stretched his hands and feet.

*shhh, next time we have to find out the matter, shhh, I'm going*

Julala looked at Gofan's slightly watery eyes as moonlight shone on his face. Gofan simply nodded in agreement to Julala's words.

Julala decides to continue her path, going out of the dimensional world and storing all of Lenchan's precious treasures into Gofan's space-giving pouch.

Gofan stood with two hands folded behind his back, his head slightly looking up, looking at the stars shining brightly in the sky of that dimensional world. With tears in his eyes, Gofan recalled the state of his father's corpse and mother's corpse, as he exited the secret passageway where he was hiding.

just by breaking through the nine heavens and going to the Great Realm', Father... What's in the Great Realm? if Heaven exists, if God exists, could it be possible for me to change time?-

As he recalled the past, Gofan recalled the words that Lenhao had always said, as he was being trained in martial arts by that father, 'Only by breaking through the nine heavens and going to the Great Realm'.

Gofan did not know why his father kept saying about the Great Realm and piercing through the sky, given that, Gofan simply shook his head and went into the hut.

Inside the hut, Xionan had fallen asleep in the same position as last night. Gofan sat cross-legged on the outer side of the cot, he did a hand seal and started cultivating his energy.

As the day approached dawn, Gofan only absorbed the energy of heaven and earth after his energy essence had increased to 608 additional layers. The blue color of the energy essence began to change more purplish, it proved that the conclusion Gofan took was correct.

The day had changed, the night had passed and the 25th day of practice had arrived. Gofan did his usual activities, ranging from washing himself, filling full of water barrel, and taking a break while cooking food.

The 25th day of practice was the first day Gofan ate his soup with Mouhuli. Although the day had not yet reached noon, Mouhuli had already appeared before Gofan, attracted by the smell of the soup he made.

*Sruput*

"I wonder, what's the name of this soup? Why every time I eat it, I feel like my body's back in shape, it's really fun, it's like eating while training"

Mouhuli asked while still busy eating soup made by Gofan. He was sitting on a piece of wood outside the kitchen.

"The name is energy nutritional soup, made with herbs that are able to restore stamina, therefore the body feels fit if consuming this soup."

"just fine... Oh yeah, this is the herb you asked for"

Mouhuli flicked her hand and the two herbs appeared, in front of Gofan as Mouhuli had just finished the soup in her bowl.

"Thank you Ancestor, then, I will continue the training, I'm sorry"

Gofan who was also after eating, stored the two herbs into a space bag, then left to start his father-style physical training.

After days of training, Gofan's body was now undergoing some changes, Gofan became a little taller, more muscular, his thin body was already out of sight and also because of the Book of Immortal Bone Bodies, he said, his skin became cleaner, his face became more handsome.

Gofan was aware of all that, but he did not really consider the importance of all the changes to his physical body, because the most important thing for him was the increase in strength. Therefore, Gofan did not relax his spirit, he continued to do all the exercises that he had been doing for days, in earnest.

Days passed and night came, as Gofan was busy concocting the antidote for the five poisons for Yubing. Gofan had been concocting the antidote, since the afternoon after he had finished all his daily tasks, he said,

I'm not a healer, I can't make pills, but according to uncle's book, I can change the shape of the medicine into powder

Despite having mastered the entire contents of the Book of 100 Lives, Gofan could not yet be called a healer. He did not study any of the engineering books that cultivate the natural elemental energy that was useful in pill-making, namely fire.

Generally the healers were those who studied the fire energy technique scriptures, they had the ability to control fire to make pills, while Gofan did not study the book.

"Do I need to study the engineering scriptures that cultivate fire energy? Is my body capable of holding many types of energy? Not to mention Xionan wishes I studied magic energy"

Gofan shook his head while pounding some medicinal herbs.

Long ago during his wandering life, traveling around the Penda Continent, Gofan had heard, there was a swordsman who cultivated more than two energies that made the swordsman become disabled, he said, the center point of his soul exploded as it was unable to hold the incoming amount of energy.

but, right now there are three types of energy in my body, the essence of energy for inner power, mental energy for demonic eyes, and heaven energy from reincarnation stones. I'm still fine, is it possible that I studied magic energy?-

Gofan's mind questioned many things, while his hands continued to concoct the antidote.

why did Xionan want me to learn magic? Was he not worried that I would become disabled, later I had to ask him

Gofan looked towards Xionan who was asleep on his back.

Xionan had just finished touring the island, he had also had time to go in and out of the portal, like he was making sure of something, he said,

- What he did all day, to make him sleep soundly like now

After a day almost before dawn, finally the antidote powder of five poison Yubing successfully completed Gofan. No mistake occurred during Gofan concocting the drug, because Gofan just mashing and mixing medicinal herbs make it into powder form.

Another case if Gofan makes an antidote into pill form, an error in fire control will make the pill become damaged and lose efficacy, he said,

- Making it powder is also not as effective as pills, Will Yubing be cured with this powder? I only bet 50:50-something

The finished antidote powder, Gofan put into a medicine bottle, was,

"Hopefully this works, since this is a Lifesaving Pill recipe, I'll name this powder, the Lifesaving Powder"

"Is that the cure ?"

Xionan suddenly appeared hovering next to Gofan, he had just woken up and found Gofan who was engrossed himself concocting medicine.

"You're awake? Isn't it still night?"

Gofan was astonished to see Xionan who suddenly appeared next to him, even though he thought it was still night, it was still not time to wake up.

"You're This... Look !"

*Tw*

Xionan shook his hands and the small window in the bamboo hut opened, the blinding morning sunlight infiltrating the hut.

"Eh... Is it morning?, Shit... I haven't even gotten a chance to sleep"

The 26th training day has come, but due to the fun of concocting medicine, Gofan has not had time to sleep.

"That's the antidote ?"

Ask Xionan once again.

"Yes, this is the cure for Yubing"

Gofan frowned slightly when he realized the day had changed, while he had not slept all day. For novice warriors like Gofan, eating and sleeping are still necessary.

Seriate...
