Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1140 594: Strength Exhausted

On the first day at the White Cloud Sect, Gu Sheng led everyone and closed the door with the Xuan Iron.

In a room that never saw daylight, Bai Yu sighed repeatedly in despair.

”Gu Sheng, why are you in such a hurry? We havenʼt sensed King Luoʼs movements yet. Canʼt we enjoy a few days? Our White Cloud Sect has plenty of wine and food. You havenʼt even tasted a bit, arenʼt you tempted?”

”Iʼm not like you, so greedy. Plus, we have no news of King Luo. No one knows if heʼs taken action yet. What if heʼs already on the way, and we havenʼt made something to break the soft armor? Do you want to watch the White Cloud Sect be attacked?”

After Gu Sheng spoke, Lan Yao laughed and said, ”Bai Yu, this is your own sect. Arenʼt you concerned? Do you believe if I tell your father, heʼll discipline you with family rules?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Ri rolled his eyes at him.

”My father would never do that. Stop trying to scare me with this.”

”If youʼre not afraid, then youʼre not afraid. Arenʼt you afraid of trouble at the White Cloud Sect?”

This time, Bai Yu nodded.

”Donʼt say, Iʼm actually quite scared. After all, Iʼve experienced the power of those death soldiers, and it does leave a lingering fear.”

Upon hearing his words, Gu Sheng directly handed him a piece of Xuan Iron.

”Since you know fear, letʼs get moving quickly. If we can develop something to break the soft armor, the White Cloud Sect will be a bit safer.”

Gu Sheng gave each of them a piece of Xuan Iron, yet everyone seemed unsure where to start.

”Gu Sheng, what should we do?”

”See what spell can melt this Xuan Iron. If we want to make weapons, we must melt it first. This is the first step and a crucial one.”

”You havenʼt found a way to melt it yet?”

”No.”

Gu Sheng answered calmly, but the others were not so composed.

Originally, they were counting on Gu Sheng to complete it single-handedly. Now, knowing that even Gu Sheng had no clue, they started to engage themselves.

Seeing that they finally focused, Gu Sheng gently smirked.

After researching for two days, everyone had lost their initial playful spirit, each bearing a worried expression.

”Gu Sheng, this Xuan Iron is incredibly hard and canʼt be melted. Itʼs been a day and night with no solution. What should we do now?”

Saying this, Bai Yu irritably scratched his head.

Seeing everyone so restless, Gu Sheng put down the Xuan Iron and sighed softly.

He tried every possible method, but this Xuan Iron indeed couldnʼt be melted, seeming to require entirely different thinking.

When Gu Sheng calmed down, everyone naturally quieted down.

They glanced at him from time to time, seeing his worried expression, they could only sigh silently in their hearts.

Suddenly, after some unknown time, a bright light emanated from Gu Sheng.

Aware of this, everyone widened their eyes in surprise.

Gu Sheng paid them no mind and gently waved his hand.

When his Dantian responded, he parted his thin lips, and the Spiritual Pearl flew out from his body.

Seeing the Spiritual Pearl, everyone was stunned.

Gu Sheng had almost refined the Spiritual Pearl, practically integrating it with himself. Now, spitting out the Spiritual Pearl was tantamount to taking out half his life!

”Gu Sheng, this is too risky!”

Hong Mei stood up swiftly, looking frightened.

”King Luo is going to act soon, thereʼs no time to worry about that.”

”But still! If you fail, will it not greatly affect you!”

After Hong Mei spoke, Bai Yu also stood.

”Hong Mei is right! This is too risky! I know youʼre doing this for the betterment of the White Cloud Sect, but I canʼt let you take such a big risk. My father certainly wouldnʼt let you do it either!”

After their words fell, they glanced at each other, then attempted to return Gu Shengʼs Spiritual Pearl.

Feeling their actions, Gu Sheng waved his hand, placing the Spiritual Pearl directly onto the Xuan Iron.

”With the Spiritual Pearl out of body, you mustnʼt move recklessly, it indeed has a great impact on me.”

”But—”

”No more buts, the matter is urgent. I have to give it a try. Protect me.”

Seeing his mind made up, without room for reversal, everyone could only grit their teeth and protect him.

Gu Sheng controlled the Spiritual Pearl, making it fall onto the Xuan Iron, then pressed his wrist down sharply, a large surge of Spiritual Energy flew from the Spiritual Pearl, and Gu Shengʼs face immediately paled considerably.

However, he ignored it and just manipulated the Spiritual Power of the Spiritual Pearl to melt the Xuan Iron.

A massive outpour of Spiritual Power surged forward, the Xuan Iron showed no change.

Grinding his teeth, Gu Sheng released more Spiritual Power.

As soon as the Spiritual Power was expelled from the body, his face turned a few shades paler, but this time, the Xuan Iron showed a definite change!

Seeing the change in the Xuan Iron, Gu Sheng disregarded everything else and began refining.

He gathered all the Xuan Iron together, spread the Spiritual Power evenly on it, then exerted all his strength in refining the Xuan Iron.

Before long, waves of heat began to rise in the room.

Gu Sheng summoned a small tripod to cover everyone from above, then focused intently on refining the Xuan Iron.

With his strength gradually pouring out, his face turned whiter each time. When only the last bit of Xuan Iron remained to be refined, Gu Shengʼs face looked grim, and his body began to sway, clearly struggling to hold on.

Casting a glance toward Hong Meiʼs slightly furrowed brow, Gu Sheng immediately steadied his own breath.

After contemplating for a while, he gritted his teeth and directly released the breath of his Dantian.

With the release of both the Spiritual Pearl and Dantian breath, Gu Sheng was basically offering his entire life.
