The sword rises

Chapter 557 Retreat Practice
Chapter 550 Seventh Retreat Practice
In the following days, Gu Hengsheng lived in the mansion of the former Duke.

The mansion of the former Duke is magnificent, and the maids and maids in the mansion are all beauties, and the guards are all skilled hands. These people were carefully selected by the Emperor Luo Hongsheng to serve Gu Hengsheng's daily life. Life.

Gu Hengsheng is now one of the former Dukes of the state, and officials and families come to visit with great gifts almost every day, but they are all sent away by Gu Hengsheng.

Gu Hengsheng couldn't be bothered to deal with these courtier families, so he simply disappeared and ended up in peace.

Every day, Gu Hengsheng would sit cross-legged on the bed and practice breathing, absorbing the dense aura between heaven and earth.However, no matter how Gu Hengsheng absorbed the spiritual energy, he always felt that he was a short distance away from the Profound Sky Realm, and he couldn't get there for the time being.

"I'm afraid we can only wait for the results of the mining of the spiritual veins."

Gu Hengsheng only hoped that everything goes well with the mining of the spiritual veins, so that he can use a large number of spiritual stones to practice, improve his cultivation, and grow himself up as soon as possible.

The peaceful days passed quickly, and nearly two months passed in a blink of an eye.

During these two months, the name of the former Duke Gu Hengsheng had spread throughout every corner of the Qiansu Dynasty and became a legend of the Dynasty.

Many officials and forces who wanted to curry favor with Gu Hengsheng gradually lost patience because of Gu Hengsheng's indifferent treatment.Therefore, very few people came to worship at the gate of the former Duke's mansion with gifts.

Sometimes, Gu Hengsheng would stay in the mansion to practice for several days in a row.Sometimes, Gu Hengsheng would go out to Luo Qing's residence, and drink a few glasses of wine with Luo Qing.

Today, Gu Hengsheng was taking a walk in the Duke's mansion when suddenly an eunuch came from the palace.

"See my lord." Although the eunuch came here at the emperor's command, he didn't have the guts to dare to disrespect Gu Hengsheng, so he bent down and called out with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Gu Hengsheng said bluntly.

"Report to Duke, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace to see me."

Without the slightest hesitation, the eunuch quickly spoke out the emperor's oral order.

"Oh?" Gu Hengsheng raised his eyebrows, and a look of excitement flashed in the depths of his eyes.

It seems that there is finally news about the Dongjiang Thirteenth City.Two full months had passed, and Gu Hengsheng was living a peaceful life on the surface, but he was extremely anxious in his heart.

There was no way to break through to the Profound Sky Realm. If Gu Hengsheng encountered a strong enemy outside, he might not even have the strength to protect himself.Moreover, there are still many things waiting for Gu Hengsheng to do, so there is no time to waste.

Immediately, Gu Hengsheng set off to follow the eunuch who had passed the message to the palace.

Gu Hengsheng stepped into the imperial study room with ease, walked straight to Junhuang Luo Hongsheng, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty."

"You're here." Luo Hongsheng looked happy.

"Your Majesty, is there any news from Dongjiang?" Gu Hengsheng asked straight to the point.

"Well, news came back, and the first batch was shipped back." Luo Hongsheng did not hide it from Gu Hengsheng, sealed the surrounding space with profound energy, and said after ensuring safety: "It's just been mined for such a period of time. , and brought back five thousand catties of spirit stones."

"Five thousand catties of low-grade spirit stones can be considered pretty good." Gu Hengsheng's eyebrows flashed with joy.

Five thousand catties of spirit stones, according to the original agreement, Gu Hengsheng could take one-tenth of them, that is, five hundred catties of spirit stones.Gu Hengsheng believed that with these five hundred catties of spiritual stones, he would be able to absorb the spiritual energy contained in them and break through to the Sky Profound Realm in one fell swoop.

"Duke, Gu has already arranged your part, which is worth a thousand catties of spirit stones, and put it in the closed retreat on the west side of the palace, which will definitely not attract any attention."

Of course Luo Hongsheng would not cheat Gu Hengsheng, and said with a light smile.

"A thousand catties?" Gu Hengsheng was stunned: "Your Majesty, isn't it a tenth? How did it become a thousand catties?"

"You are now the former Duke of my dynasty. It is the most important thing for you to achieve success as soon as possible. The original one-tenth will be changed to one-fifth, and if you still need it, you can do it as soon as possible." Speak."

Although Luo Hongsheng cared about Lingshi very much, he was more aware of the value of a peerless genius.

Gu Hengsheng didn't expect Luo Hongsheng to be so generous, which surprised him a bit, but he really couldn't refuse, so he cupped his fists and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir."

"The Duke is being polite. We are all a family. It would be too outrageous to say these words."

Luo Hongsheng waved his hands in a good mood.

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Gu Hengsheng didn't bother to say these polite words, but just kept this feeling in his heart.

"Let's go! Gu will take you to the retreat stone room in the Dark Hall to take a look."

Luo Hongsheng stood up from the dragon chair, and planned to take Gu Hengsheng to the retreat stone room prepared for him.

Thus, Gu Hengsheng followed Luo Hongsheng to the secret stone room.

As soon as he stepped into the stone room, Gu Hengsheng felt an incomparably abundant aura sweeping over him, which made him feel instantly refreshed, and his whole body felt a little swayed.

A thousand catties of spirit stones were piled up in the corner of the stone room, and the white jade-colored light shone brightly, making Gu Hengsheng squint his eyes and his heart was surging.

Looking at the spiritual stones covering the entire corner in front of him, Gu Hengsheng seemed to have seen the threshold of the Profound Sky Realm, and he couldn't wait to sit down on the ground and start practicing.

"Duke, I won't bother you anymore. When you are retreating, I will send people to guard the surroundings and won't let anyone disturb you."

Luo Hongsheng knew that Gu Hengsheng must be impatient now, so he stopped talking nonsense, turned around and left.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Hengsheng was not at all polite, and slightly raised his hand in salute to send him off.

After Luo Hongsheng left the stone room, the simple and heavy stone door slowly closed.If it weren't for a night pearl in the stone room to illuminate the entire stone room, the whole room would probably be plunged into darkness.

"After waiting for two full months, it's finally here."

Gu Heng let out a long breath, stepped gently beside the Lingshi, immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, and slowly closed his eyes.

The next moment, Gu Hengsheng formed seals with his hands and began to practice the exercises, preparing to break through to the Sky Profound Realm in the stone room in one go.

Thousands of catties of low-grade spirit stones are enough for Gu Hengsheng to break through the threshold of the Sky Profound Realm.

As Gu Hengsheng's profound energy gushed out, the spirit stones from the corners of the stone room flew over one after another, hovering around Gu Hengsheng's body.

Wisps of relatively pure spiritual energy diffused from the spirit stone, and were immediately absorbed by Gu Hengsheng into the meridian dantian.

As time went by, Gu Hengsheng's aura became more and more fierce and majestic, and more and more spirit stones gathered around him, and the rich spirit filled every corner of the stone room.

"The Profound Sky Realm is only the first step in the Great World War, and I must step over it as soon as possible."
