A few old monsters came forward one after another. Every time someone examined Xiao Yu, their eyebrows would deeply furrow, and in the end, they would discuss this matter together.

"What exactly is that black aura?" Why is it so strange? "

"I can feel that when my true essence enters it, this black gas will actually devour my true essence!"

"Looking at the situation, if this kid cultivates, the Heaven and Earth powers obtained will be instantly devoured, and he won't be able to condense one Spirit River!"

"But he clearly has such potential. Why would he have such a thing in his body when he pushed open the ninth door?"

"I've lived for so long, but I've never seen such a dark aura. I've never even heard of such a thing!"

The few old monsters discussed for a long time, but still couldn't explain anything to the black aura. They only knew that the black aura would constantly affect Xiao Yu's cultivation, and looking at the current situation, it was almost impossible for Xiao Yu to condense another Spirit River.

This also meant that even though Xiao Yu's previous performance was shocking, in reality, with the existence of this black energy, he could only stop his Sixth Cycle of Spirit Origin Stage forever and could not improve at all.

Unable to improve, no matter how high one's innate talent was, one could only be a cripple!

This discovery caused the old monsters to feel extremely regretful. They thought that they had obtained an exceptional talent this time around, but to think that there would be such a change within their bodies.

They all had complicated looks on their faces, and they didn't know what to say.

The reason why they rushed to take Xiao Yu as their disciple was because they had their eyes on Xiao Yu's talent. But the truth was that with the existence of the black aura, Xiao Yu could not continue cultivating.

"Seniors, if any of you are aware of this black aura or have any way of resolving it, I can acknowledge you as my master!" Xiao Yu knew that these people did not know of the Black Qi, and they would not be able to solve this problem either.

The old monsters were all silent. With Xiao Yu's talent, if he could find a way to deal with the black qi, then it would be worth it even if he had to pay a huge price. But the problem was that none of them knew what the black qi was, let alone a way to solve it!

"Xiao Yu, since you have this black energy in your body, then I would like to know how your Six Spirit Rivers is condensed today." Feng Wu stood at the side in deep thought for a long time, until this point in time, he finally opened his mouth to ask.

That's right! Feng Wu's words made the old monsters' eyes light up.

This black aura did not appear out of thin air, but under the devouring of this black aura, wasn't Xiao Yu able to condense Six Spirit Rivers as well? This meant that there was a way to deal with the black gas.

"To be honest, I paid a huge price for condensing this Six Spirit Rivers!" Xiao Yu laughed bitterly, and did not hide anything as he told them about him borrowing the Talisman s' strength, the medicinal liquid, the Odd Beast's life force, as well as the Netherworld Spring Water and other strange things to condense his Six Spirit Rivers.

Of course, he concealed many things that he could not divulge, such as meeting a beast king or entering a Grandmaster Tomb. He only said that he paid the price.

"This black aura will become denser as my cultivation level increases, so for now, I want to borrow the power of external things to condense Spirit River, but every single thread will require a divine object of immense value, so the previous method can no longer be used." Xiao Yu concluded.

Hearing these words, all the old monsters could only sigh helplessly.

According to Xiao Yu, every time he condensed a Spirit River, the price he paid would be even greater. He didn't even know how many geniuses he would be able to cultivate using the next Spirit River!

Furthermore, this was only the next set of Spirit River. From the next realm, he was still far from reaching the Six Spirit Rivers, and the price was growing higher and higher. It was basically not possible to reach the Qi-transforming Stage!

"Ai, this old man is powerless!"

An old man sighed with regret. He did not linger and turned to fly away.

"What bad luck, I didn't expect that the person who pushed the door to the Nine Fans Stone was actually a cripple that couldn't continue his cultivation. It was all in vain for me to personally come here!"

There were also some old monsters who changed their expressions on the spot. They were extremely dissatisfied with Xiao Yu and only left after cursing a few times.

In an instant, a few of the old monsters who were still fighting with each other for Xiao Yu just now all disappeared, leaving only Yang Chengfeng, the Academy Master, and Mo Li who had yet to leave.

"Sigh, I thought that the second person in the Martial Arts Academy to open the Nine Fans Stone School would cause my Martial Arts Academy to rise again. It seems that the heavens are playing with us!" Yang Chengfeng didn't hide his disappointment at all, but he didn't change his expression like those old monsters.

He patted Xiao Yu's shoulder and comforted him: "Youngster, you are still young and anything is possible. You must not give up on cultivating just because of this black aura."

Xiao Yu knew that Yang Chengfeng placed too much importance on the talent he displayed by pushing open the nine stone doors, so she still held a trace of hope for him.

He nodded his thanks.

"I never thought that the most amazing and shocking kid would end up like this!" Mo Li's expression did not change much, and he said to Feng Wu: "Even so, do you still plan to take him as your disciple?"

From the very beginning, Feng Wu had not spoken a single word, he only stared at Xiao Yu, sizing him up, as if he wanted to see through Xiao Yu completely!

She was silent for a long time, before she suddenly said to Xiao Yu: "If I can take care of the black Qi in your body, would you be willing to take me as your master?"

Xiao Yu was shocked, and said: "You recognize this black aura?"

Feng Wu shook his head: "Although I do not know, but since you are able to condense Six Spirit Rivers, it means that the black aura is not unsolvable. I believe that I can eventually find a way!"

Although Feng Wu was not familiar with this black aura, Xiao Yu was still a little disappointed.

He was well aware that there was no way to resolve this black gas, and he was also well aware that there was no such thing as an absolute world in the world.

Furthermore, Feng Wu did not act like the others, because after knowing about the black aura in his body, he changed his attitude towards him. At least on this point, he was not as heartless as those old monsters.

"If you are unwilling to acknowledge me as your master, then I will not force you. However, if there comes a day that I can help you deal with this black fog, I will only ask for one condition!" Feng Wu stared into Xiao Yu's eyes.

"What condition?" What could Feng Wu gain from him, a person who could not continue cultivating?

"I hope you can tell me the exact difference between the last stone door and the Eight Doors above!" Feng Wu said.

Many years ago, she had challenged the Ninth Gate before, and from that door, she could vaguely sense a kind of mysterious charm. It was as if as long as she could completely feel it, she would be able to obtain a strong power.

Unfortunately, in all these years, she had not been able to find out what exactly the last door was, but now that Xiao Yu had pushed the Ninth Gate away, she actually saw hope.

"So what? If you want to know, I can tell you right now!" Although Xiao Yu was surprised by Feng Wu's conditions, they were nothing to him.

Feng Wu, however, didn't say anything. He coldly glanced at him, then directly left, leaving behind only a cold voice. "Remember the condition that I mentioned earlier."

Xiao Yu was stunned, didn't Feng Wu want to know the secret of the last door? Why did he leave instead of saying that?

"This perverted woman is extremely arrogant. She won't ask you about that secret until I find a way to help you." Mo Li patted Xiao Yu's shoulders, and then turned and left.

As he walked, he used his background to face Xiao Yu, and slowly said: "I'll help you think of a way as well. Remember, if I find a way first, your secret can only be told to me!"
