"Destroy!"

Sensing Luo Du's final attack, Gu Lin let out a sharp shout, "Today I want to see how stubborn you are!" Along with Gu Lin's stern cry, the purple flame once again released its strength. The crack within the cluster of fire began to sew up gradually as the flame's power was transmitted once again. Under this high temperature, Luo Du gradually disappeared within the old man's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, the spirit of the old man on the bed was extremely sluggish, just like a human figure walking in the desert, and could only rely on his own tenacious willpower to endure. Fortunately, his pain did not last for long.

When the final strand of "Purple Heart Flame" left the old man's body, Gu Lin's face, which was covered in sweat, let out a deep sigh of relief. He then raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as an icy chill ran across his face. He raised his head to look, only to see that the Spiritual Energy on his left middle finger had actually turned light blue and then disappeared.

"You can come in now!" After hiding his left hand in his sleeve, Gu Lin called out to the outer sect disciples.

Bai Chen hurriedly pushed open the door and entered upon hearing this. There was a nervous expression on his face when he saw that the old man was motionless on the bed.

"Gu..." Gu... Brother! Uncle White, how is it? " Bai Chen hurriedly asked as he looked at Gu Lin, who was covered with sweat on the bed. His voice was actually trembling.

Gu Lin also smiled when he saw Bai Chen's nervous expression. He immediately said, "Fortunately, we have not failed our mission, but he still needs to be properly recuperated for a couple of days before he can recover his full strength. After all, Luo Du is an extremely cold being.

"Thank you, Brother Gu. After hearing those words, the nervous expression on Bai Chen's face also disappeared." As he looked at the sleeping old man, a smile also appeared on his face. This old man was called Bai Yuan, and he held a very high position in the Bai Clan, although he was only a Grade One Saint Ruler, but his children were both above Grade Three Saint Rankers. Therefore, Bai Yuan's status in the clan was naturally very high, and once Bai Yuan died in this small world, Bai Chen would have to face the suppression of two Saint Rankers.

"Alright, I'll thank Big Brother Bai for the Spiritual Qi Points first. I'll leave first today. When will we head to the Great Desolate City?" Gu Lin took a glance at the gloomy faces of Bai Long and Li Mu outside the door and immediately spoke to Bai Chen.

"Hehe, Brother Gu, the courtesy there will be displayed five days later. The people from Endless City will collectively enter the Great Yan Mountain in Great Desolate City. At that time, we can travel together and have some help on the way. Bai Chen's voice was extremely clear as he looked at Gu Lin who was about to stand up and leave. It was obvious that his words were meant for the two people outside the room.

The Great Yan Mountain range? Upon hearing this, Gu Lin was also baffled.

Brother Gu left in too much of a hurry, so I forgot to tell you. I told you before that the mountain range north of the Great Desolate City was called the "Great Yan Mountain Range" and that the key to the "Ancient Treasure" was hidden within it.

Hearing this, Gu Lin also nodded his head. He patted Bai Chen on the shoulder and loudly said, "Don't worry. If someone wants to cause trouble for me, I'll definitely make it even more troublesome!" After saluting Bai Chen, he turned around and left the Bai Clan.

Watching Gu Lin's back as he left, the eyes of the three people inside and outside the house all narrowed slightly. Their eyes flashed. Clearly, they had their own thoughts.

"Swoosh!"

After Gu Lin left the Bai Clan, he did not immediately return to the base. Instead, he left this Endless City and headed towards a mountain range not too far away.

Five days later, he would head to the "Great Yan Mountain" to fight for the mysterious key to the Ancient Treasure Trove. Currently, his strength was only at the perfect Spirit Gathering stage, and if he wanted to snatch the key to the "Ancient Treasure Trove", this little bit of strength was clearly insufficient. Moreover, during this fight, there would definitely be a Saint Transformation Stage powerhouse appearing.

"Fortunately, after Bai Yuan treated Luo Du, the ten thousand Spiritual Energy Points have been gathered. Otherwise, the competition five days from now would have been much less than expected."

However, it was clear that he couldn't go against the Small Success Stage of his Saint Body. He had to make it evolve again, otherwise, when facing those Saint Transformation Stage experts, Gu Lin could only look on helplessly as the key to the ancient treasure was taken away without being able to fight back.

"Kid, don't be anxious. After you recover your spiritual power, you can try to break through to the large success stage of the 'Minor Saint Body'. Otherwise, before you can break through, you'll be destroyed by that flame."

Gu Lin also nodded his head when he heard this. Indeed, he thought that assailing the large success stage of the "Minor Sage Body" in his current state was undoubtedly courting death. That was the intent of the sage realm; a moment of carelessness would cause him to be completely devoured.

When Gu Lin entered a state of cultivation, the rising sun from the east slowly descended. Replacing it was a red moon. Under the red moon's illumination, low and deep beast roars slowly rang out in the mountain range.

At this moment, Gu Lin's aura had also gradually withdrawn. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Old Fu had set up a Spiritual Energy barrier around Gu Lin when the moonlight descended, preventing the aura from leaking out.

When the sunlight shone on the second day, Gu Lin's originally tightly shut eyes also slowly opened. The aura within his body had also returned to its peak state.

"Teacher, should we start now?" It was obvious that Old Fu had been guarding this place the previous night to prevent sneak attacks from the demonic beasts and demon corpses. Although Gu Lin's strength was enough to deal with the demon beasts and demon corpses at the great circle of the Spirit Gathering Realm, he still felt moved and warm when he saw Old Fu.

Hearing this, Old Fu also nodded his head. There were only five days left before the day of their departure. It should be enough if he were to calculate the time.
