8 Years in a flash

Hearing the scream outside, the coldness in Gu Xun'er's eyes gradually dissipated.

If anyone dared to try to do such a thing to her in the Gu clan, the result would definitely be a corpse, but this is the Xiao family, for the mission, she has to release him with a light punishment, which will also serve as a warning.

Gu Xun'er shook her head and pulled out a black jade fish-shaped pendant from her clothes. With the help of the moonlight, she looked at the jade pendant in her hand and couldn't help but rub it gently with her fingers.

"Brother Gu Xiao, Xun'er listened to you and protected himself, but where are you now, Brother Gu Xiao, Xun'er really misses you…"

Gu Xun'er muttered under her breath, and the yearning in her heart suddenly spilled out like an endless tide...

...….

On the edge of the Tagore desert lies a huge city, the name of this city is Mocheng.

Mocheng City is the first stop in the Tagore desert and an important location for the countless people who will venture into the desert to replenish their resources.

Being so close to the desert, the weather in Mocheng is very hot and the air is filled with strong fire elemental energy. This is a paradise for practitioners of the fire attribute and the earth attribute.

On the edge of the desert, it was possible to see a person walking towards the city.

The figure is about 5'8 feets, with long, flowing black hair that falls over his shoulders, a straight nose, thin eyebrows, and an incomparable face. The pupils of his eyes are shining like stars, even though he is wearing only a simple white robe he still exudes an extraordinary and refined temperament.

This is a young man, a very handsome young man.

The young man held a long steel sword in his left hand and a small cloth pouch in his right hand. The bag was obviously full of stuff.

After entering the city the young man turned and walked straight in one direction.

Wanbao Pavilion, this is a well-known shop in Mocheng, which specializes in supplying various pills, elixirs, etc. At the same time, they also buy various materials from other people or mercenary groups.

"Boss, do a count!" The young man entered the Wanbao Pavilion familiarly and threw the cloth bag in his hand directly onto the counter.

"Oh, Young Master Lu is here, welcome."

A well dressed middle aged woman heard the voice, turned around, looked at the teenager standing in front of the counter, her eyes lit up and she greeted him with a smile.

The young man smiled, holding the cloth bag and shaking it lightly, dozens of glowing monster core's fell directly from him, hitting the counter directly, making a loud noise.

These monster core's aren't high grade, they're just tier 1 magic beast cores, but the number of dozens of them is pretty shocking.

"Wow, Young Master Lu is really amazing. You can get so many Level 1 Monster Cores. I've never seen anyone capable of hunting so many Level 1 Magic Beasts during the Dou Zhi Qi stage before meeting Young Master Lu."

The middle-aged woman laughed softly and didn't hide the admiration in her tone.

Generally speaking, beasts are stronger than humans of the same realm, but the young man in front of her can kill as many Level 1 Magic Beasts with the cultivation base of a Nine-Star Dou Zhi Qi . He is a genius.

(EN: I'll be honest, I was kind of disheartened when I managed to find out which realm it was being referred to , because on Raw it's 'Battle Spirit', the first thing that came to my mind was Dou Ling, but then I remembered that he was killing Level 1 Magic Beasts, so I put Dou Zhe, but after editing the whole chapter I found that it was Dou Zhi Qi still...)

Hearing the middle-aged woman's praise, the young man had a calm face and a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth. He said, "Boss, you must first calculate how much these things are worth. I'm running out of time. My old man is still waiting for me to come back for lunch."

"Okay, okay, Young Master Lu, you're so rushed every time, I really envy Chief Hai for having such a sensible and capable son."

The middle-aged woman has a bit of envy in her tone, but her hands weren't idle, and she counted the level 1 Monster Core's brought by the teenager one by one.

"A total of sixty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine gold pieces that makes a total of sixty-five thousand gold pieces if I round the number. After all, we're considered old friends."

(EN: 64,999=65,000)

The middle-aged woman quickly discovered the full value of the Monster Core's.

"Okay, I want to buy a space ring, and the money will be deducted from the payment."

The boy shrugged and said.

"Ok, a Space Ring costs forty-five thousand gold coins, after deducting it, I should give you 20,000 gold coins."

The middle-aged woman wasted no time in complying with the teenager's request, she took out an ornate ring and a golden card and handed them to the teenager.

"This is a Space Ring. There are 20,000 gold coins on this card. Please keep them safe."

The middle-aged woman said softly.

"Thanks, so I'm leaving now." The boy placed the ring in his hand and then stored the card and steel sword in the ring one by one.

"Young Master Lu, take care!" The middle-aged woman spoke in farewell.

The young man waved his hand, and then walked lightly out of the Wanbao Pavilion.

This young man was Gu Xiao, but as he was outside the ancient world, and in order to avoid the Gu clan and the soul clan, the name Gu Xiao would naturally no longer be used by him. He is now called Lu Yunxiao.

Lu Yunxiao, this is his name in his past life.

"I still have to buy some meat and cook lunch for the old man. In the afternoon, I can prepare to break up for Dou Zhe. After so many years, this day is finally here."

Lu Yunxiao muttered to himself, eight years have passed since he left the ancient world and now he is fourteen years old.

When he was nine years old, he had already attained Nine Star Dou Zhi Qi. At that time, he would be able to break through to Dou Zhe easily.

But to forge the foundation, to be able to go further in the future, he stayed in the Nine-Star Dou Zhi Qi realm for five years.

In those five years, he polished his Dou Qi, tempered his bones, nourished and strengthened his meridians using the methods given by the system.

He polished Dou Qi to be exceptionally pure and dense like iron.

The muscles and bones in his body are extremely strong, and he can generate great force with one punch.

The biggest gain was its meridians. Not only are his meridians extremely resilient, but in the five years of strengthening and nurturing, all of his meridians have been unlocked. The impurities in the meridians were completely cleansed. Now he has the best meridians to cultivate. When he cultivates, his speed is much faster than other people.

Sharpen the knife before cutting the wood, it looks like he's been stagnant for five years, but for the future, those five years will allow him to go further and smoother in the future, which is definitely something that makes up for the stagnation.

(EN:This first sentence basically means that you should always prepare yourself before doing something, in this case he is referring to his base, that it is better for him to spend a lot of time building them as stable as possible so that in the future he does not have impediments in his cultivation.)

And the most important thing is that the day he breaks through to the Dou Zhe realm will be when his physique will be unlocked, the huge energy that suddenly exploded would be unbearable without a strong foundation and tough meridians. Yeah, so no matter what aspect, those five years really paid off.

Fortunately, these five years have passed, and Lu Yunxiao now has all the conditions perfectly, and he can progress to Dou Zhe smoothly.
