Chapter 30: Ancient River

  "Heaven helps those who help themselves..." Gu Chen returned to his room, letting out a sigh of joy.

  Gǔ Chén's cultivation had already reached the seventh layer of the Post-Heaven Realm. The distance between the seventh and eighth layers was much greater than that between the sixth and seventh layers. Gǔ Chén continued to take the high-grade Gathering Spirit Liquid, and his daily cultivation time was longer than before. His daily increase in cultivation was also more significant. However, even so, the time it took him to cultivate to the eighth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm was still much longer than that from the sixth to the seventh layer.

  Unless a large amount of spiritual stones are provided, Gu Chen can cultivate the Soul Devouring Technique, and his cultivation speed will explode, quickly cultivating to the eighth or ninth layer of the acquired realm, which is no longer a problem.

  It's not easy to have a large amount of spiritual stones. If Gu Chen continues to cultivate with the Soul Devouring Technique, even if the entire Gu family's industry is sold for spiritual stones, it won't be enough for Gu Chen's cultivation.

  Unless you have the support of a major immortal sect or obtain a spiritual stone mine yourself, where would you get so many spiritual stones?

  But just as Gu Chen was worried about the large amount of spirit stones, he actually heard news about the Soul Devouring Beast.

  Devouring beasts are born with spiritual stone veins. Hearing the news of devouring beasts is equivalent to hearing the news of spiritual stone veins.

  Gu Chen immediately decided to head to the Beitaishan mine, which was an industry managed by his father. Since Gu Cang was currently in seclusion, Gu Chen would take his place and handle this matter. He entered the mine to kill the Soul Devouring Beast and also search for the location of the Spiritual Stone vein.

  Every day, Gu Chen replaced his storage with spiritual liquid. After eating the spiritual liquid, Xiao Bai no longer ate anything else. All of Gu Chen's things were in the Qian Kun Ring, and he directly bought a horse in Le Shui City and rushed out of the city towards the south.

  Beitai Mountain Mine is located about 100 miles south of Lesui City, Beitai Mountain is a large mountain, from the south to the north of the mountain are hundreds of miles apart, thousands of feet high, the mine is located at the foot of the northern part of Beitai Mountain, there is a small town called Beitai Mountain Town, so it's called Beitai Mountain Mine.

  After a long time, Gu Chen arrived at Beitaishan Town, without stopping, and went straight to the Beitaishan Mine Cave five miles south of the town. This was his father's managed industry, and when he was young, Gu Cang brought him here, and Gu Chen remembered the route.

  After leaving Beitaishan Town, they had only run for more than three miles when another small village appeared in front of them. This small village was a place where miners working in the mine took turns to rest. Now that the mine was haunted by monsters, all the surviving miners were in this village.

  The Soul-Devouring Beast doesn't eat humans, and even when it's woken up from sleep and goes on a rampage, it only kills five or six people, so now there are more people in the village than usual.

  "Master Gu... it's Master Gu, how did you come here?" There were many servants of the Gu family in the village who were comforting the miners. This mine was an industry managed by Gu Cangyun, and these servants were naturally under Gu Cangyun's command, all recognizing Gu Chen. Seeing Gu Chen appear in the village, they immediately surrounded him.

  Gu Chen glanced at them and nodded with a smile: "I'm here to exorcise the demon."

  Exorcise demons? A mere ten-year-old boy, and he claims to exorcise demons? Who in the Gu household doesn't know that this young master is the weakest among the three generations of direct disciples of the Gu family?

  Although Gu Chen is now more than ten centimeters taller than two months ago, and his body has become several times stronger, in the eyes of adults, he is still a ten-year-old kid.

  A ten-year-old kid from a renowned family of good-for-nothings claims he's here to exorcise demons? Isn't that a joke?

  But nobody laughed.

  These underlings were all subordinates of Gu Cangqiong, and naturally they didn't dare to laugh at Gu Chen. Those miners heard the servants of the Gu family call Gu Chen "Young Master Gu", they only knew that the Gu family was a cultivation clan, every single person in the family was a cultivator, and they all had extraordinary divine powers.

  The young master Gu said he wanted to get rid of the monster, and these miners were so excited that they didn't even have time to laugh, and when they did, it was a happy smile, not thinking Gu Chen's words were ridiculous.

  "I'm here to exorcise the demon." A ten-year-old boy, riding a white horse with a white fox on his shoulder, entered the village and said. Chapter 30 can be confirmed that the fight was extremely intense.

  "Kogawa has already fought against the Soul Beast? There shouldn't be anyone else." Kogen quickened his pace.

  Proceeding forward, the sound of battle grew louder and louder. After advancing over 200 meters, Gu Chen judged that the source of the sound was in the passageway around the bend ahead.

  With heightened vigilance, Gu Chen continued walking forward, turning a corner, the night pearl in his hand illuminating the passageway ahead as if it were daytime.

  The moment Gu Chen appeared, the fighting sounds stopped immediately, and four huge eyes as big as lanterns turned to Gu Chen at the same time.

  What ancient river's silhouette? The combatants on both sides were all skin like ore, teeth like stone pillars of the Devouring Beast, a completely unexpected scene.

  Seeing two Soul Devouring Beasts, Gu Chen's heart didn't have the slightest loss, his face shook, and his heart immediately burst with joy.

  A head of a fierce beast, about the same size as an adult, was about one zhang high and three zhang long. Its head was like a bamboo basket, its eyes were like lanterns, and at this moment, its skin, which was harder than stone, was covered in wounds, with blood flowing non-stop.

  The other head of the beast was the reason why Gu Chen's face changed. It was much larger than a normal adult beast, about 6 meters high and 15 meters long. Gu Chen's sudden appearance made it burst into furious flames in its eyes. There were only some signs of being attacked on its body, but it was not injured. The other head of the beast that was bleeding profusely was actually wounded by it.
