Li Xuangui: "It's not important. What's important is that only I can save you now."
Ye Tian sighed, "Alright, what do you want me to do?"
Li Xuangui: "This Xianji Gu is very difficult to control. Usually, it controls people, absorbing their essence to enhance itself. However, once you refine the Xianji Gu, you can harness its power to temper and refine your spirit, allowing you to go further on the immortal path."
"I can help you refine the Xianji Gu, but after refining, my primordial spirit must enter the body of the Xianji Gu."
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes, "Old Li, why do I have a feeling of impending danger? You're not planning to control my body through the Xianji Gu, are you?"
Li Xuangui: "Do you dare to take a gamble?"
Ye Tian sighed, "Do I have a choice? We've known each other for a while. Rather than being refined by the Xianji Gu, it's better to fulfill your wish."
Li Xuangui sneered, "I'm not interested in myself, you can rest assured!"
Ye Tian said, "Whether you're interested or not, I trust you unconditionally now. But Old Li, how will you help me?"
Li Xuangui: "I've recently recovered some of my abilities, and I can suppress the Xianji Gu's immortal power for a short period. During that time, you must refine it with all your might. Moreover, you only have about half an hour. If you can't refine the Xianji Gu within half an hour, the Xianji Gu will retaliate, swallow my nascent soul, and become incredibly powerful. By then, you'll also be doomed, only to be completely controlled by it."
Ye Tian: "You want me to refine the Xianji Gu within half an hour, how can I do that?"
Li Xuangui: "Figure it out yourself. So, I'm actually gambling too."
Ye Tian pondered for a moment and said lightly, "Then let's gamble! Old Li, let's begin."
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning flashed around, instantly blasting open the mist, and a scream echoed in Ye Tian's mind.
The next second, Ye Tian regained his mobility. He felt an energy struggling within his Niwan Palace, which Li Xuangui had temporarily suppressed there.
"I must refine the Xianji Gu, but how?"
Suddenly, he looked at the dazed Gu master. The Gu master, who had been smug, suddenly saw Ye Tian wake up.
"You can actually resist the Xianji Gu?" he screamed, his face full of disbelief.
Ye Tian kicked him to the ground, then broke his left leg, and asked coldly, "How can I refine the Xianji Gu?"
The Gu master cried out in pain, "Impossible! No one can resist the Tianji Gu, unless you are an Earth Immortal, but you are only a Human Immortal!"
Ye Tian sneered, "I'll give you three minutes to tell me how to refine the Xianji Gu, or for every ten seconds that pass, I'll cut off something from you!"
Saying that, he took out his bronze short sword and placed it on the Gu master's left ear.
The Gu master said, "The Xianji Gu cannot be refined. Even I can only communicate with it."
With a flash of sword light, one of the Gu master's ears fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
He screamed, "I'll tell you everything I know, but the Xianji Gu really cannot be refined! Otherwise, I would have refined it long ago, why would I wait until today?"
"Another ten seconds have passed." With another flash of sword light, the Gu master's right ear was severed.
The Gu master shouted, "I don't know, kill me, and I still won't know!"
Just as Ye Tian was about to gouge out his eyes, the Gu master thought of something, "Wait! I have the method to refine the Xianji Gu on me. It's recorded on a turtle shell, but I don't recognize the writing on it."
Saying that, he took out a palm-sized turtle shell and handed it to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian glanced at it. The turtle shell was inscribed with over a thousand tiny characters. This writing was ancient, a variant of immortal script, but he could still recognize it.
He quickly read the text on the turtle shell. It indeed recorded the method for refining the Xianji Gu, including incantations, tools, and cultivation techniques.
Both the incantations and cultivation techniques were present, but the tools listed surprised him. The so-called tools were his mask and that staff.
He carried both items with him and had left them in the cave. He then knocked out the Gu master, returned to the cave, put on the mask, and picked up the staff.
Instantly, he saw countless demon gods appearing in the void. According to the inscription on the turtle shell, he found a two-headed demon god.
Upon seeing this demon god, he immediately recited the incantation. In an instant, the two-headed demon god descended mysterious power upon Ye Tian.
