Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

The sound of something falling in the Hanging Valley woke Gu Xing up from his practice.

Gu Xing opened his eyes and looked at the hazy drizzle outside the window.

There is no sunset today, and a chilly wind blows in from the window, bringing a damp chill.

Gu Xing calculated the time and found that it was already spring.

The temperature hasn't risen much yet, but the rain has already started to fall.

It was fine above the clouds, but once it came down, the drizzling rain soaked the Hanging Valley.

Should I go out in this weather?

While Gu Xing was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Xing moved to open the door, but was suddenly startled to realize something was missing.

After a moment of silence, he remembered what was missing.

The elongated “Brother Gu” is missing.

In the past, every time someone knocked on the door, Qin Wen had to shout this at the same time.

It’s a bit strange that I didn’t shout today.

But judging from the aura I felt outside the door, it was undoubtedly him.

Gu Xing didn't think much about it and walked forward to open the door.

When I opened the door, I didn't see Qin Wen's smiling face.

Qin Wen had a serious look on his face at this moment, without any trace of unseriousness.

He grinned and spoke.

"Brother Gu, let's go eat."

"Okay." Gu Xing nodded. He felt that something was wrong with Qin Wen today.

After leaving the inn, Qin Wen walked in front and Gu Xing followed behind.

After walking for a while, they turned into an alley.

In the alley, the boss who was carrying the girl on his back was busy working. When he saw them coming, he greeted them.

They have come here quite often these days and have become familiar with the boss.

They ordered the dishes and asked for two jugs of wine, filling one cup for each person. After all the dishes were served, Qin Wen took out a shell and placed it on the table.

Looking at the shell, Gu Xing discovered that all the sounds around the shell could not be transmitted and would eventually be absorbed by the shell.

Seeing this, he also became serious.

"Brother Gu, do you remember what I said when we first came here?"

Qin Wen said as he poured a glass of wine into his stomach.

"Your family is rich?"

"more than."

"Then it's about your second brother competing with you for the family property."

"That's right. Actually, I don't want to argue." Qin Wen drank another glass of wine. "I followed his request and came to this Hanging Valley on my own initiative, but he still seems to be worried and wants me to die here."

Gu Xing didn't say anything, just drank a glass of wine with him and listened quietly.

"But I don't want to die. I still have so many delicious foods to eat and so many beauties to sleep with. I am unwilling to give up."

“So, I want to go back.”

"Since he wants to take everything from me, I will also take everything from him."

"And to do this, I hope you can help me."

After listening quietly, Gu Xing picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, saying expressionlessly.

"Why should I help you?"

He is not an angry young man who becomes cynical when he hears a little injustice and can't wait to roll up his sleeves and rush forward to fight for justice.

Although he admired such people, he would not do so himself.

He just treated Qin Wen's words as a story and did not feel much in his heart.

Qin Wen spent a week getting closer to Gu Xing, so he naturally wouldn't back down because of Gu Xing's words. Moreover, he didn't expect to impress Gu Xing with just words.

So he said.

"A secret book on soul refining."

"I see that you, Brother Gu, have already lit the lamp. According to normal practice, it will take a long time to break through to the struggle stage, but I have a secret technique that can refine the soul and quickly enhance the strength of the soul. If Brother Gu is willing to help me, then regardless of success or failure, I will offer this secret technique to you with both hands."

The secret art of soul refining?

When he heard this word, Gu Xing immediately became interested.

He had also heard of the Soul Refining Secret Art, which was similar to the Body Strengthening Secret Art, the Gold Melting Art, which Gu Xing had acquired before. The Soul Refining Secret Art was also a method of quickly increasing the strength of the soul through certain special means.

However, unlike the body-building secret technique, the soul-refining secret technique is extremely rare and naturally very valuable.

In fact, these two things also exist in the Treasure Pavilion. Gu Xing asked about them when he was purchasing Taoist magic.

However, even the body-building secret technique requires tens of millions of grain coins, and the soul-refining secret technique is even more expensive, directly costing hundreds of millions, which is far beyond what Gu Xing can afford.

Even so, there are only two soul-refining secret techniques in the treasure pavilion.

Actually, in the Burning Lamp Realm, there are also some other means to quickly increase the strength of the soul.

For example, some martial arts and Taoist techniques that can devour other people's souls, some elixirs made from souls, etc.

However, these things generally have great hidden dangers. Only those who are not talented and find it difficult to continue practicing will choose these methods with hidden dangers.

Of course, there are also methods without hidden dangers, such as certain natural treasures, certain innate magic weapons, and so on.

However, the prices of these things are basically not cheap, and some of them will not be sold. Even after the Treasure Pavilion purchases them, they are only used for their own purposes.

Without control over a large force, it can basically be said that you have no chance of having these things.

Unless you are lucky enough.

Therefore, even though Gu Xing had tens of millions in his hands, he ended up only buying magic weapons, Taoist techniques, and some daily resources, and did not buy anything to enhance his soul.

However, this secret art of soul refining is actually not without hidden dangers. It mainly depends on the method of soul refining.

If it is an evil way like swallowing human souls, then needless to say, there are huge hidden dangers.

But if it is some serious method, it would be very good, but the price is also extremely expensive, and the power to control it is rarely passed on to others.

Moreover, this kind of secret technique also has a disadvantage, which is that the energy consumption during practice is basically extremely high, and most people cannot afford it.

However, Gu Xing thought that he still had tens of millions of ancient coins on him, so there should be no problem in practicing.

Faced with Qin Wen's generous conditions, Gu Xing did not agree immediately, but asked.

"What secret technique?"

"Purple Qi Soul Refining is a secret technique that refines the soul by absorbing purple qi. After practicing to the end, one can even get a layer of innate purple qi on the soul, making it immune to all evil."

Purple air?

Ultraviolet light?

Several thoughts flashed through Gu Xing's mind quickly. This Purple Qi Soul Refining sounded quite serious, but he would have to read it before he could tell the specific content.

But with this thing as a reward, as long as the help is not excessive, I can do it.

So Gu Xing asked.

"Then tell me how I can help you?"

Qin Wen was also decisive and spoke directly.

"Accompany me to the grave of the dead."

Tomb of the dead!

Hearing this word, Gu Xing frowned immediately.

There is no doubt that the tomb is dangerous.

However, the secret art of soul refining offers a reward high enough to warrant taking the risk.

Therefore, he fell into hesitation.

After hesitating for a while, he looked up at Qin Wen and asked instead of answering whether he was willing or not.

"Why did you find me?"
