Chapter 273: Retreat! Xiao Yi Xian in Danger!

  "With these ten thousand spiritual medie pills, it should be enough for Zi Yan to eat for a few months."

  Thinking this, Gu He directly took out nearly half of the spiritual medie pills from the system spad piled them on the ground.

  The stacks of boxes piled up were even taller than Zi Yan.

  Seeing the sudden appearance of a pile of wooden boxes, Zi Yan curiously opened oo take a look.

  "Wow!"

  "So many spiritual medie pills!"

  After seeing the tents of the box, Zi Yan excimed in amazement, then eagerly opehe rest of the boxes to check.

  "Teacher, are all these for me?" Zi Yan, squatting on the ground and opening boxes, looked up at Gu He with her big, bck eyes, full of anticipation.

  "Who else likes to eat these things besides you!" Gu He stated pinly.

  "Hehe, seems like it!" Rubbing the back of her head, Zi Yan chuckled, then turo shout at Han Yue behind her, "Junior sister, e over and help me t how many there are!"

  Hearing Zi Yan's words, Han Yue didn't hesitate and skillfully squatted down to help Zi Yan t the number of spiritual medie pills.

  Just then, Gu He suddenly spoke, "Zi Yan, Han Yue, for the period, I o go into retreat! You should practice diligently and strive to make a breakthrough by the time I e out."

  "Ah, going into retreat again? How long will it be this time?"

  "Teacher, rest assured and go into retreat. I will practice diligently following Sister's lead."

  Hearing Gu He was going into retreat, Zi Yan pined while Han Yue was very uanding. For someone of Gu He's cultivation level, it was quite normal to go into retreat for several months.

  "Cough!... Han Yue, just focus on your own cultivation, and definitely don't follow your sister's example!"

  Hearing their responses, Gu He quickly added a reminder.

  "Hmph! Teacher, what's wrong with learning from me? I won't lead her astray," Zi Yan said, seemingly pig up on Gu He's disdain.

  "Alright, that's all I had to say. I'm leaving now!" Seeing Zi Yaing serious, Gu He didn't expin further and chose to leave swiftly.

  After saying this, Gu He's figure turned into a streak of light and shot out of the inner courtyard.

  ...

  In the mountains behind the inner courtyard, Gu He chose a small valley as his retreat location.

  Before starting his retreat, Gu He cast several mysterious hand seals towards the void, sealing off the valley and the space around it.

  Having done all this, Gu He sat down on a piece of bluesto the bottom of the valley.

  The energy he was about to absorb this time was more terrifying than any before. Even with many experiences under his belt, Gu He had to treat it with great caution.

  When he adjusted himself to the best state, Gu He silently anded in his mind: "System, begin iing one hundred and twenty-two years of cultivation! (This includes the fourteen years returned from transferring power to Han Yue)"

  As soon as Gu He finished speaking, the massive cluster of purple energy in the system space was instantly pressed to the size of a ping-pong ball and then abruptly appeared inside Gu He's body.

  Boom!

  As this terrifying energy entered Gu He's body, a muffled sound emanated from within him.

  As the energy entered Gu He's body, it began to wreak havoc wildly. However, with his experience from several occasions, Gu He cleverly divided it i portions. After dividing the energy, Gu He's powerful soul force came into py. He directly divided eight strands of soul power to trol eight purple fmes, using them to refihe massive energy within his body, greatly speeding up the refi process.

  In just a moment, streams of pure energy separated from the eight clusters of purple energy and then flowed into Gu He's meridians throughout his body.

  Feeling this energy merge into his body, Gu He experienced an indescribably fortable sensation.

  While Gu He was focused on refining this massive energy, Xiao Yi Xian, far away in the Cloud Empire, was fag a chase.

  ...

  Ruhoney City, a major city located in the tral region of the Cloud Empire, was managed jointly by four families, each with Dou King level powerhouses.

  Within Ruhoney City, almost no one dared to provoke members of these four major families.

  However, a few days ago, a signifit i occurred in Ruhoney City. The retly notorious Xiao Yi Xia fire to the medial warehouses of the Ma and Wang families, two of the four major families, injuring dozens of their members.

  As a result, after a discussion among the heads of the four families, they decided to put a bounty on Xiao Yi Xian for her assassination.

  Soon, news came that Xiao Yi Xian had been seen in a nearby small city's dark port.

  Upon receiving this information, the four families immediately anized a rge number of their elite members to prepare for an ambush against Xiao Yi Xian.

  ...

  Dark Port, a city known for its many rivers and ponds, with most of its buildings half ier and half on nd.

  At this moment, at the entrance of the well-known Nine Poison Au House in Dark Port, a figure shrouded in a rge bck robe slowly walked in.

  However, as soon as the bck-robed persoered the au house, they were targeted by several discreet gazes.

  The Nine Poison Au House, as the name suggests, aued mostly poisons.

  And most of the people attending this au were there for these poisons.

  When the bck-robed persoered the vehe au just happeo start.

  One by one, poisons were pced on the circur stoform in the middle of the au stage.

  Then, a white-haired old man slowly walked onto the stage and said to the crowd, "Ladies alemen, I am delighted you could join us at the Nine Poison Au House. Today's au items will not disappoint you..."

  "Old man, hurry up and start, why dawdle?" The white-haired old man had just begun to speak when he was urged by the people below.

  Seeing this, the white-haired old man could only ugh awkwardly and then shouted with all his might, "The first item of today's au, a frade poison, the Crack Pattern Demon Flower, starting price, fifty thousand gold s!"

  As the old man annouhe starting price, a flurry of bidding voices immediately erupted from below.

  "I bid sixty thousand gold s!"

  "I bid seventy thousand gold s!"

  "Eighty thousand gold s! This Crack Pattern Demon Flower is mine, Li Shan."

  As a burly voice rang out, the fierce bidding in the au house suddenly came to a halt, followed by whispers of discussion.

  "Li Shan is actually attending the Nine Poison Au too!"

  "It is said that Li Shan's cultivation has reached eight-star Dou Ling. He's notoriously ferocious in this region and should not be provoked."

  "I bid one huhousand gold s!"

  Suddenly, in the quiet au house, a crisp voice rang out.
