124.The Cultivation Begins!

After Xu Shan took the jade slip, the Purple Crane True Man walked to the edge of the cold pond and took out a jade bottle in his hand. He picked up the jade bottle and poured all the dark gray liquid in the bottle into the cold pond. The moment the bottle mouth was opened, Xu Shan could feel a huge amount of spiritual power and coldness emanating from it.

After the spiritual liquid was poured into the cold pond, a thick layer of ice quickly formed around the pond. Standing not far away, Xu Shan could feel the biting cold.

The Purple Crane True Man opened his mouth to explain, "What I just poured in is the Yin Water of the Earth. It contains extremely abundant spiritual power, but the coldness is too intense for you to absorb. Now, diluted by this cold pond, you should be able to bear it."

"The Foundation Establishment chapter of the Spotless Mysterious Book requires you to temper your body. Now, with the cold pond and the Yin Water of the Earth, absorbing spiritual power will become extremely difficult, and the process will be very painful. You need to cultivate in it for three hours every day. When the spiritual power circulates normally, your meridians will become extremely tough and broad."

"Judging from your age and your current cultivation level, you should have a top-grade spiritual root, right?" The Purple Crane True Man changed the subject.

"Yes, I have a top-grade spiritual root. Master really has discerning eyes," Xu Shan quickly flattered.

The Purple Crane True Man nodded and said, "Good. With the talent of a top-grade spiritual root, three months is enough to absorb all the spiritual power of this cold pond."

"What about after absorbing it all?"

"Follow me." The Purple Crane True Man turned around and left. This time, after walking for a short while, they came to another pond. This pond was different from the other one. It was ordinary.

The Purple Crane True Man took out a jade bottle again and dropped a drop of liquid that sparkled with lightning into it. The pond seemed to come to life and started to stir, crackling!

"This is the Thunderlight Essence. It can greatly temper your physical body. After absorbing all the spiritual power of the cold pond, you can cultivate in this Thunder Pond for another three months. After that, your physical body will be greatly improved."

"Practicing the Spotless Mysterious Book, with the help of these two ponds, should help you break through to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage. And after your physical body is tempered, your future cultivation path will be much smoother."

"However, there are many things to deal with in the sect, and I can't accompany you. You can only cultivate on your own. You should be able to understand the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Spotless Mysterious Book by yourself. If you have any questions, ask them now."

Xu Shan held the jade slip and checked its contents. The cultivation technique of the Spotless Mysterious Book immediately flooded into his mind.

Xu Shan felt much more at ease and even a little surprised. At least, for now, the Purple Crane True Man hadn't lied to him about the cultivation part. He had read the Heart - Piercing Sword Code. The style of cultivation techniques in ancient times was obviously different from that in the current cultivation world. The Spotless Mysterious Book was indeed an ancient cultivation method, and it was quite suitable for him!

The Spotless Mysterious Book... Judging from the description, it has a rather strong benefit for spiritual power reserves. It's a pity that it only has basic cultivation methods, and the spells that match the cultivation technique have been removed. But even the basic part is very complete. Even if the Purple Crane True Man made it up, he probably couldn't make it so detailed.

That means it really has the value of cultivation. In any case, it's much better than the Star Attraction Technique.

"I can understand it, and I don't have any questions for now," Xu Shan said.

The Purple Crane True Man nodded in satisfaction. "That's good. You can stay here and cultivate with peace of mind within half a year. I'll come to see you again half a year later. Don't worry. I've set up restrictions in the cave, and no one will disturb your cultivation."

"If you have any problems, send me a message with the jade slip." After saying this, the Purple Crane True Man threw another jade slip to Xu Shan and then walked straight out of the cave.

After he left, Xu Shan didn't move for a long time. He stood there for a while before taking out another jade slip from his storage bag. This jade slip was the one given to him during the trial of the Blood Killing Hall, and he hadn't returned it.

He carefully compared the two jade slips and found two similar talismans.

Xu Shan let out a sigh. This thing was probably a monitor. Even if it was put in the storage bag, it couldn't be avoided. Maybe putting it in the washing machine could block it, but if the Purple Crane True Man noticed something strange, he would definitely come over. There was no need for that.

Jade slips were a big area of knowledge. He would have to study them when he had time.

Xu Shan put away the jade slips, found a flat place to sit leaning against, and quietly thought about whether there were any omissions.

The Purple Crane True Man's performance today was extremely hasty. From making them take the Arrow Pill to bringing him to the cold pond, he was very straightforward and didn't waste a single second. It could be seen that he was really in a hurry about something. Of course, it was more likely that he didn't care at all whether Xu Shan had any doubts.

Anyway, a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was definitely within his control, and he couldn't run away.

The Spotless Mysterious Book was obviously a cultivation technique for cultivating the mind, but he had specifically prepared a cold pond and a Thunder Pond for Xu Shan to temper his physical body. Enduring pain... and tempering the physical body. Without even thinking, it was certain that he wanted Xu Shan to do some kind of cruel experiment. And it was inhumane torture that had to be carried out while the victim was conscious.

I don't know what kind of experiment it was. He had to find an opportunity to slip away when he was about to break through to the Core Formation stage. There were restrictions outside. If he was always trapped here and not allowed to go out, he had to go to the edge of the cave in advance. Then use the plot of the optical disc to get out...

Thinking of the optical disc, Xu Shan put his hand behind his back, and the optical disc appeared in his hand. With a flick of his hand, the optical disc was inserted into his waist.

It didn't matter if the Purple Crane True Man saw it. He couldn't understand it either.

As the optical disc disappeared into his body, a familiar feeling emerged, and an unknown TV drama plot began to reappear.

Xu Shan suddenly stood up and then knelt down on both knees! With a sorrowful and indignant expression, he said, "Xu Xian is useless. I watched as the foreign soldiers invaded the capital, and all I could do was run! I, as your son, apologize to our ancestors with the 'gift' of the foreign soldiers!"

Xu Shan was secretly delighted. Awesome, the effect was still as strong! His name had even been changed to Xu Xian. It seemed that it changed according to his thoughts. It was quite interesting!

.....

In the main hall of the Zhenhai Sect. The Purple Crane True Man sat on the chair, staring blankly at Xu Shan's performance on the light screen. He waited for a long time, expecting to see this guy start cultivating, but instead, he just leaned there without moving.

In a trance, he somehow changed into a dragon robe and bowed in all directions. Was he crazy? He couldn't want someone who was crazy!

But his newly accepted disciple had an extraordinary identity. It seemed that he was an exiled prince from the mortal world, carrying a deep blood feud... But what the hell were foreign soldiers? He had never heard of them.

After a while, Xu Shan finished bowing and started taking off his upper clothes. He carefully stepped into the water with his bare chest. His whole body was wrapped in extreme cold, and his eyebrows and sideburns quickly formed a layer of frost.

So cold! He had never felt such coldness before. His whole body was like being wrapped in countless steel needles. The pain was only slightly weaker than that of the Arrow Pill.

He would have to practice for three hours a day in multiple sessions. Xu Shan kept breathing rapidly. At the same time, he kept recalling the Spotless Mysterious Book he had just read in his mind and circulated the spiritual power according to the cultivation technique.

A huge amount of extremely abundant and cold spiritual energy rushed into his meridians. Xu Shan took a deep breath of cold air.

He could endure the pain. But the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual power was too fast. This cold pond didn't have any effect on his ability to absorb spiritual power at all!

He had to control it, or he would give himself away!
