Chapter 416 Coming out of seclusion
Gu Shiyi realized something was wrong, so he dived into the sea again, swam out a mile or two in one breath, and then came out again. When he looked back, he found that the sea area behind him was full of fog. It was hazy and misty, and exuded a strange smell.

This was an extraordinary period, and Gu Shiyi didn't want to cause any trouble, so he swam away, picked up the body of the sea snake monster, and flew into the sky. Only then did he realize that the sea in front of him was shrouded in fog and gloomy, while behind him was sunny and breeze-blown. The junction of the two sides was clearly divided with a sharp boundary.

Gu Shiyi knew that this place was probably like the ice field, a strange area formed naturally. She did not dare to go in. She picked up the body of the sea monster and turned away. Not long after her figure disappeared, a strange scene suddenly appeared above the foggy sea. Many pavilions, streets and markets appeared on the sea. There were countless figures walking back and forth, as if it was a mirage. However, there were two people standing on the pavilion in the thick fog, and one of them spoke.

"Did a demon tribe break in?"

"Some demons broke in, but they left before the patrolling Yakshas could make their move!"

"Well... let them be alert. The opening time of the Hanyan, which occurs once every five hundred years, is getting closer. Don't let outsiders in!"

"Yes!"

Gu Shiyi flew back to the island and threw the body of the sea serpent monster onto the island. The little fur balls rushed over with gawking joyfully. They grew very fast and ate a lot every day. However, after they grew to the size of a ball, their bodies stopped growing. But their appetite never decreased. When they saw Gu Shiyi throwing the body of the sea serpent monster down, they immediately swarmed over to bite it. As a result, they heard a series of crunching sounds, and the little fur balls retreated with gawking pains. Gu Shiyi reached out and grabbed one, opened its mouth, and saw that all the small teeth in its mouth were broken. He laughed out loud.
"You deserve it. You hit a wall this time, didn't you?"

This sea snake monster is a level seven monster. Ordinary Jindan-stage cultivators may not be its match. Even an axe cannot cut through its silver scales, let alone the tiny teeth of these little creatures!
Seeing this, Long Hun came over to check with great concern. Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"It's okay. These teeth need to be replaced normally. They will grow out in a few days!"

It was not known whether these rabbit-dragon beasts were born this way or whether the wrong method was used when they were hatched. Anyway, Gu Shiyi felt that they seemed to have grown crooked. Not only were they carnivorous, but they also had a mouth full of sharp teeth, just like sharks. Every once in a while, their old teeth would be replaced by new ones, and they changed their teeth very frequently.

The sea snake monster was beaten to death by Gu Shiyi, so its scales were very well preserved and even the magic weapon, the hatchet, could not break it. Gu Shiyi also put it away and waited for Yan'er to come out, then found some sharp magic weapons and thought of a way to break open the body of the sea snake monster!

"It seems... this knife is a bit blunt. I wonder if I can ask a skilled weapon refiner to find a way to refine it!"

Gu Shiyi wiped his hatchet clean and put it back into the scabbard. He then told Long Hun and Lao Ma about what he had seen and heard in the sea.

"There is a thick fog covering the sea area 800 miles southwest. Have you ever been there?"

Dragon Soul shook his head and said,
"We dare not go too far away, and only move within a range of 500 to 600 miles..."

Old Ma also responded,
"There seems to be something in the southwest... Not good!"

Gu Shi said,
"That place gives me a very dangerous feeling. You'd better stay away from it. Yan'er is still in seclusion and I don't know when she will come out. We should restrain ourselves and don't cause any trouble!"

It is also said that Pu Yanlan, who was in the secret room, had already moved the thread to her dantian, and began to break her dantian bit by bit!
This kind of shattering of one's own Dantian is naturally different from the damage caused by external force. There are steps and sequences. She needs to drain all the spiritual power in the Dantian, infuse it into the tendons and veins throughout the body, and then return all the spiritual power, like waves, to impact the original structure of the Dantian again and again. After the original Dantian is completely shattered, she must take this opportunity to quickly expand the Dantian and let the spiritual energy in the Dantian condense into a golden elixir.

This process sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult. It tests the practitioner's perseverance and patience. Because everyone's physique is different, the time limit for practice is different, and the depth of spiritual power is also different, the time to shatter the dantian is also different. No one knows how long it will take, and one can only try again and again. Because Pu Yanlan has a loose thread in her dantian, the time it takes to use spiritual power to impact her dantian is particularly long.

She meditated in the secret room for half a month. Under the impact of spiritual power, her dantian was only shattered in half, and the filament was only broken into one third. Fortunately, Pu Yanlan was well prepared. When her spiritual power was exhausted, she took elixirs. In her early years in Tianyi Sect, she refined a large number of elixirs, most of which were for replenishing spiritual energy.

At this moment, she couldn't help but admire Shiyi's foresight. If Gu Shiyi hadn't reminded her to refine pills and stock up several years before the war broke out, so that she had a huge reserve of pills in her storage bag, otherwise, she would not be able to hold on for half of the war today and would have to come out sadly because of lack of spiritual power!

Pu Yanlan kept replenishing pills in the secret room and using spiritual power to impact her dantian. One day three months later, when the last layer of barrier in her dantian was broken by the spiritual power, she heard a loud bang in her ears. The spiritual power in her limbs and bones poured into her dantian like a river bursting its banks and began to expand its territory. Pu Yanlan hurriedly took another bottle of pills. She had to seize the opportunity at this time to expand her dantian. The larger the dantian, the more spiritual power reserves, and the more powerful the Nascent Soul that would be condensed in the future would be!

Of course, having a big Dantian is not all advantages. For example, on this continent with thin spiritual energy, it is impossible to absorb or store spiritual energy. Instead, having a big Dantian is a disadvantage. It becomes increasingly difficult to reach the next level!

But Pu Yanlan didn't have such worries, so she tried her best to expand her Dantian, the bigger the better. After taking three bottles of pills in succession, she finally felt a swelling pain in her lower abdomen. She knew that this was a warning that her body could not bear it. At the moment, she felt a little regretful and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have followed Eleven to practice physical training!"

She was busy activating her mental method, attracting the spiritual energy in her dantian and starting it to circulate continuously, until a small vortex formed in her lower abdomen, which kept spinning. Pu Yanlan's brows were furrowed and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She had to concentrate on maintaining the circulation of the spiritual energy and not dare to be distracted for even a moment. If she was not careful, not only would the golden elixir fail to condense, but her dantian would also be damaged, and her cultivation would be lost!

The secret room was completely silent, with only the sound of Pu Yanlan's long and subtle breathing. Time passed quickly, and after three days and three nights, she opened her eyes.

"call……"

It finally solidified!

Pu Yanlan opened her mouth.
"Wow……"

She spat out a mouthful of blood onto the soft couch in front of her knees. The blood was tinged with a lot of tiny golden lights. It was because she had spit out the thread from her mouth. After spitting out the thread, she quickly swallowed another bottle of pills and closed her eyes to absorb the medicinal power...

Another three days passed, and when Pu Yanlan opened her eyes again, golden light flashed in her eyes. At this time, there was a golden elixir the size of a longan slowly rotating in her lower abdomen. Her golden elixir was different from others'. It was shaped like a Bagua fish, half black and half red, which were exactly the two colors of Pu Yanlan's spiritual roots. The two-colored Yin-Yang fish swam gracefully above the golden elixir, neither hurried nor slow, and looked extremely harmonious.

Pu Yanlan had stabilized her golden elixir, and the task was accomplished. She raised her hand and cast a spell to open the door of the secret room. She walked out slowly and walked out of the corridor. When she got outside, she saw that it was night. There was a starry sky above her head and the sea breeze was blowing. Pu Yanlan took a deep breath.

"It's finally out!"

After being locked in a secret room for so long, when I suddenly came out, I felt like I was seeing the light of day again!
"Yan'er, you're out!"

Behind him was Gu Shiyi's surprised voice. At this time in the middle of the night, Gu Shiyi was meditating and breathing. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, so he stopped practicing and ran out of the hut by the sea. When he reached the entrance of the cave, he saw Pu Yanlan.
"eleven!"

Pu Yanlan smiled brightly when she saw her, walked up to her, took her hand and said,
"Eleven, I'm already in the Golden Core Stage!"

Gu Shiyi nodded heavily.

"I know. As soon as you came out of the cave, I felt a different aura!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, both very happy.
"How long have I been in seclusion?"

"It wasn't long, just eight months!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and pulled her.
"Let's go to the beach..."

The two of them arrived at the beach house and sat on the flat roof of the second floor, looking up at the stars in the Milky Way. Gu Shiyi grilled fish while listening to Pu Yanlan describe the process of condensing the pill.

"You are really lucky this time. Not only did you get rid of the gossamer thread, but you also advanced to the Golden Core Stage... Is your Golden Core really two-colored?"

Pu Yanlan nodded, but in front of Gu Shiyi, she patted her belly and spat out the two-colored beads. Gu Shiyi looked at them and smiled.
"This is the first time I've seen a cultivator's golden elixir. When I refine a demon elixir, I'll show it to you!"

Such behavior of taking out the golden elixir or the demon elixir is very dangerous. If caught by someone, it will be destroyed on the spot and the person will die. However, for these two best friends, except for the men who cannot be exchanged, they can even give their lives, so naturally there is no taboo!
Gu Shiyi served Pu Yanlan a plate of grilled fish and a bowl of fish soup.
"Do you want to stay here for a few more days in seclusion to consolidate your realm?"

Pu Yanlan shook her head,
"No need, I have actually been consolidating my elixir for a few days, and I have been consolidating my realm in the last few days!"
