Chapter 1207: Early investment, you have to pay back double

In the ultimate a.n.a.lysis, Barbara was merely a convenient tool for Gu Changge. If it malfunctioned, it would be repaired, and if irreparable, it would be replacedit sounded harsh, but it was undeniably the reality.

This fortnight served as a trial for Barbara. If she could endure it, her future days would likely improve.

Even though Barbara couldnt fully grasp these circ.u.mstances, she acknowledged that Gu Changges statements were severe, not mere jests.

A half-month for retribution?

She was determined not to allow Gu Changge to erase her memories, as that would inevitably lead to a cruel and unalterable future.

I comprehend. I wont disappoint you, senior.

Barbara affirmed cautiously. Now without her cultivation, despite harboring potent energy within her, effectively channeling and utilizing it remained a challenge that demanded adaptation.

Furthermore, the two-week timeframe was tight. Her master, a formidable sixth-realm powerhouse with significant influence in the Barbarian G.o.d Sect, loomed large. Mishandling the situation might result in her tribes extermination, mirroring the grim future she had glimpsed.

Every subsequent move required meticulous consideration. After imparting these instructions, Gu Changges figure vanished as if blending into the very fabric of heaven and earth, leaving no trace.

Barbara caught off guard, attempted to call out to her senior but received only silence in return. It was eerily quiet, and had it not been for the palpable reality of the recent events, she might have questioned whether it was all a hallucination.

Gu Changges image seemed to fade away, concealed beneath a thick layer of mist.

According to the nameless exercises bestowed upon me by my predecessors, I can gradually tap into the strength within my body and sense the aura of the surrounding heavens and earth.

Previously, envisioning such a scenario was beyond my imagination. The barbarians, unable to absorb the aura of heaven and earth like the human race, missed out on much. Now, however, I sense the overwhelming presence of the celestial energies.

Its as if Ive become a colossal black hole myself.

Upon returning to the courtyard, Barbaras immediate focus was to sit cross-legged and delve into the mysteries of this nameless exercise. In an instant, she was astonished by the unprecedented speed of improvement. Even to the naked eye, a whirlwind enveloped her, resulting from the vigorous boiling of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Had anyone observed the mountain peak from a distance, they would have witnessed auras of heavens and earth gathering like mist permeating the air. Fortunately, this location was secluded, with few cultivators venturing here on ordinary days.

Overwhelmed by the revelation, I swiftly composed myself, recognizing this as my chance to absorb the newfound energy.

Simultaneously, her bodys pores emitted a glow, and golden vortexes materialized, resembling vessels capable of containing and devouring the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

This is the initial stage of cultivation, bordering on the second realm all in just one afternoon.

As twilight settled beyond the courtyard, she opened her eyes. Crystal-clear pupils reflected surprise, shock, and profound joy. The cultivation speed exceeded all expectations, akin to soaring atop the clouds. The experience was intoxicating and challenging to articulate.

Back in the tribe, practicing the Barbarian Art, it took over a decade to reach the second level, comparable to the second level of the human race. Even then, she was hailed as the most exceptional barbarian genius in millennia.

Senior, what is his origin?

The exercises he crafted were both formidable and unfathomable. Could he be not of this worldperhaps the true legendary immortal?

Br.i.m.m.i.n.g with astonishment, Barbara stepped out of the courtyard, hoping to spot Gu Changge in the serene night. The moonlight bathed the surroundings in a silvery glow, casting a tranquil ambiance with the pleasant chirping of insects.

Perhaps half a month is sufficient.

Barbara mused, scanning the peaceful landscape. Yet, Gu Changges figure eluded her, leaving a sense of disappointment in her heart. She had initially hoped that breaking through to the first level or approaching the second would earn her seniors commendation.

However, she swiftly dismissed such naive thoughts. This was a transaction between two individuals, and getting overly emotional seemed inappropriate, given Gu Changges earlier a.s.sertion.

Over the following days, Barbara dedicated herself to rigorous training. In the initial days, she witnessed a ridiculously swift cultivation pace that gradually tapered off.

Nevertheless, she soared to the level of the fourth realm, surpa.s.sing the strength she had previously cultivated through Barbarian Art. The unimaginable speed didnt faze Barbara, and she remained focused on building a solid foundation, mindful of the age-old adage about tall buildings rising from st.u.r.dy ground.

In the Barbarian G.o.d Sect, many heavenly-favored individuals lingered in a single realm for years to fortify their foundations. Despite her rapid ascent, Barbara recognized the necessity of avoiding a hollow foundation. She deliberately regulated the speed of her cultivation.

Song Qinger refrained from troubling her during this period, and Gu Changge remained conspicuously absent. Alongside her intense training, Barbara delved into ancient texts and sought information on other peaks of the Barbarian G.o.d Sect.

Preparing to face her terrible master required significant effort. Ordinary means wouldnt suffice, prompting Barbara to contemplate poisoning her. Additionally, she needed to uncover how her master relayed information to the Barbarian G.o.d Sect.

Boom!!!

On this day Barbara, deeply engrossed in her cultivation within the courtyard, was suddenly jolted by a resounding noise from outside. Startled and on high alert, she swiftly directed her gaze toward the yard, only to be astonished.

A bronze four-legged square tripod, standing as tall as half a person, had materialized in the courtyard. Its surface bore intricate carvings featuring ancient sacrificial depictions of human ancestors, terrible savage beasts, landscapes with mountains and rivers, and an array of birds, beasts, insects, and fish.

Adjacent to the square tripod were several menacing and peculiar-looking beasts that, even in death, emitted a chilling malevolence capable of terrifying ordinary individuals.

This is Chilongs horn

Barbara exclaimed, her small mouth slightly agape, aghast as she recognized one of the jet-black, simple horns made of an unknown metal. She had only encountered this item in ancient textsa fearsome beast comparable to a cultivator in the eighth realm of the human race, with a horn that can split the sky.

Initially a legendary object, it had never been witnessed first hand until now, still bearing fresh bloodstains, indicating it had recently been severed.

As for the other exotic beast parts, rare spirit stones, and divine medicines, Barbara couldnt identify them. However, the amalgamation with Jiao Chilongs unicorn elevated their value to unimaginable heights.

Senior, these are

Barbaras surprise couldnt be contained as she glanced at the slender figure standing beside the square tripod, seeking an explanation that seemed almost too unbelievable.

During the past few days, when Gu Changge disappeared, he had been these formidable beasts and gathered these rare materials. Barbara had initially a.s.sumed that Gu Changge had vanished without a trace.

Ive scoured the world in the past few days and managed to find these items. They should be sufficient to refine a cauldron of precious blood to establish your foundation.

Gu Changge remarked casually, glancing at Barbara.

Given Barbaras origins in this world and her connection to its laws and aura, Gu Changge reasoned that using materials from this world to build her foundation would mitigate potential adverse effects.

Relying solely on Barbara to gather these materials would have been time-consuming, so he took it upon himself to procure them.

Refining precious blood? Senior, you went to such lengths for me?

Barbara inquired with astonishment. She knew that disciples of great sects often had abundant resources at their disposal, with families providing precious blood for refinement during cultivation.

In her barbarian clan days, her experience involved using the blood of mortal beasts and some thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, which couldnt indeed be deemed as precious blood.

These materials are extraordinarily valuable. Leaving any one of them outside could cause a major upheaval. I doubt the Barbarian G.o.d Sect could produce something like this.

Barbara admitted, struggling to contain her excitement. She had never antic.i.p.ated such treatment.

Looking at Gu Changge with grateful and bright eyes, Barbara found herself at a loss for words. Gu Changge responded nonchalantly, The Barbarian G.o.d Sect can still produce one, and the cold G.o.d gra.s.s is taken from its treasure house. It seemed like a trivial effort for him.

Barbaras grat.i.tude exceeded Gu Changges expectations. However, he remained firm in his intention to minimize emotional attachments, even with Barbara.

The G.o.dly Cold Gra.s.s from the Barbarian G.o.d Sect?

Barbaras eyes widened as she spotted the exquisite herb amid the pile of materials. The plant was a stunning shade of blue, emitting a radiant cold aura as if crafted from hard jade.

Senior, you actually went to the Barbarian G.o.d Sects treasure house?

Barbara blinked in surprise, struck by both admiration and envy. If only she possessed the power of her predecessor, she could freely access the treasure house, securing an abundance of cultivation resources.

Gu Changge, noting her reaction, offered a casual response, You dont have to thank me. Consider it an early investment in you. If you fail to meet my requirements, youll have to repay double for everything youve received.

His words carried a weight of expectation and a stern reminder of the terms involved.
