125.Half a Year of Hard Cultivation!

Time flew by in the cave without any sense of days or months. Xu Shan, with his upper body naked, was soaking in the cold pond. He lay on the edge with his arms spread out, and a white towel that had turned into a rag was covering his face. Every breath he took was filled with thick white air. The white air rolled and surged, and then was sucked back into his mouth again. The spiritual energy entered his body and was gradually absorbed and nourished.

He had been soaking for almost half an hour, and the coldness was getting stronger. Xu Shan took out a small pot of wine and took a small sip. Immediately, the coldness subsided a lot. This wine was the Snow Ginseng Wine given by Chen Xiang before. While he was practicing hard in the cave, this wine could not only relieve the coldness and extend the time for him to absorb spiritual energy, but also provided a rare form of entertainment.

After taking the third sip, Xu Shan took off the rag and slowly climbed out of the cold pond. The soreness all over his body had disappeared much more than before. After getting out of the cold pond, he walked slowly towards the Thunder Pond.

The Thunder Pond was still crackling with electric light. Xu Shan stood by the pond, stretched his muscles and bones, and then jumped into it with a splash. Suddenly, his whole body was wrapped in lightning. The tearing pain spread throughout his body along with the lightning. Xu Shan spread his arms, leaned back, and put the rag on his face again, quietly feeling the pain.

After two months, he had already gotten used to this way of cultivation. First, soak in the Thunder Pond and then in the cold pond, repeating this cycle. The destruction the lightning brought to his physical body was extremely severe. At first, when he soaked in it, he would be electrocuted so much that he couldn't move in less than ten minutes. Not to mention the injuries, just the weakness of his whole body's muscles made it impossible for him to practice normally.

But later, Xu Shan made a new discovery. After being devastated by the lightning, the cold pond could accelerate the recovery of the physical damage. So, he didn't follow the method the Purple Crane True Man told him and practiced according to his own rhythm. This way had a better effect. Now, his tolerance for extreme cold and lightning had made great progress.

As for the cultivation of the Spotless Mysterious Book, it was also going extremely smoothly. The peculiarity of this cultivation technique made Xu Shan exclaim in admiration. The deeper he practiced, the more he could feel its profoundness. It was far beyond what the Star Attraction Technique could compare to. His understanding of the transformation and absorption of spiritual energy had directly jumped to a higher level.

Cultivators introduce spiritual energy into their bodies and transform it into spiritual power. But in fact, this spiritual power is quite miscellaneous. The foundation of the Spotless Mysterious Book is to remove the impurities and continuously purify the spiritual power. Now, nearly half of the spiritual energy in his dantian's spiritual sea has been purified by the cultivation technique of the Spotless Mysterious Book.

After the spiritual power is purified, the dantian's spiritual sea can store obviously more spiritual power than before, and the consumption of spells is also less. If it is completely purified, considering the spiritual power reserve and consumption level comprehensively, he should be three times that of an ordinary cultivator.

Now his biggest doubt is, what rank is this cultivation technique? The Purple Crane True Man didn't tell him clearly, but he could vaguely feel that it was more advanced than the Heart - Piercing Sword Code. At least it wasn't as evil! It's a pity that he had to leave before he cultivated to the Core Formation stage... And he didn't know if he would have the chance to get the later part after leaving.

If the Spotless Mysterious Book is a complete set, there must be spells. Since this cultivation technique has such a high requirement for the reserve of spiritual power, the corresponding spells must be extremely powerful.

.....

In the side hall of the Zhenhai Sect, the Purple Crane True Man was still observing Xu Shan's performance. Although he didn't know why Xu Shan always liked to cover his face with that ragged towel. But the changes in Xu Shan in these two months really surprised him.

This kid had extraordinary endurance. Before him, no one could be as relaxed as him. Such performance gave him a faint illusion. After failing so many times, the heavens were going to give him a chance to succeed!

Watching Xu Shan walk out of the cold pond, constantly stretching his muscles. His whole body's muscles bulged, shining with a glistening white luster. The Purple Crane True Man felt a twinge in his heart. So young, with such a strong adaptability. It seemed that his physical body had made quite a bit of progress in two months.... As long as he waited for him to reach the Core Formation stage and his physical body became even stronger, he could be slightly modified. As long as the modification was successful, he would have the opportunity to achieve limitless possibilities!

He was still at the late Foundation Establishment stage. He needed to speed up the progress and find some rare and precious materials for him to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. It was a pity that he didn't meet him earlier and had wasted too many resources on those failures.

The Purple Crane True Man got up from the chair, and the light screen dissipated随之. Just as he was about to go out, a flustered voice came from outside: "Sect Master, that monk is attacking again!"

"Damn it, that bald thief! He just won't stop! Call all the cultivators above the Golden Core stage and follow me to kill that bald donkey!" With an order from the Purple Crane True Man, he rushed out of the side hall in a hurry.

.....

Four months passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Shan jumped out of the cold pond and punched heavily. The fist wind was fierce. After carefully feeling that full sense of strength, he punched and kicked several more times. Then Xu Shan silently put on his clothes.

All the spiritual power in the two ponds, the Thunder Pond and the cold pond, had been absorbed by him. While he was trying his best to control the absorption efficiency, it took exactly six months. If he absorbed with all his strength, I'm afraid this time could be halved.

The effects of the two ponds began to decrease after the fourth month. He could even soak in the ponds and practice all day long. However, after absorbing a huge amount of spiritual power in half a year, his realm was still at the late Foundation Establishment stage, only one step away from the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage.

But it wasn't that he couldn't break through to the Great Perfection stage, but that he didn't want to. The slower his realm improved, the more benefits he could get from the Purple Crane True Man.

Now his cultivation technique had completely changed to the Spotless Mysterious Book, and all the spiritual power in his dantian had been purified. According to the normal rhythm, he should continue to accumulate spiritual power in his dantian until he broke through. But in fact, when he felt that he was about to break through to the Great Perfection stage, Xu Shan took an unconventional approach and wasted a lot of spiritual power on expanding the small meridians that he usually didn't touch.

It didn't have a huge effect, but after some of these small meridians were expanded, the efficiency of the spiritual power circulation was obviously improved. For example, at the ends of his limbs, his index finger and middle finger could quickly twitch when infused with spiritual power. The frequency was so fast that it created an illusion, and the strength was strong!

Some lewd people might have dirty thoughts about this movement, but Xu Shan, as a pure cultivator with a moral heart, didn't have those vulgar thoughts. Strengthening the meridians at the ends of his limbs was purely to throw the optical disc steadily, accurately, and powerfully. These were all life - saving skills!

After simply tidying up everything, Xu Shan sat cross - legged and waited for the Purple Crane True Man to come. At the same time, he let out a long sigh and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. These six months had passed in a flash in his opinion. Although he had been extremely busy, he rarely felt the passage of time.

Cultivators seemingly have a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people, but a large amount of their lives are spent in secluded cultivation and battles. In terms of the richness of life, it may not be much higher than that of ordinary people. And ordinary people often work overtime in their jobs that seem to pass extremely slowly.

Having lived two lives, this kind of experience is really quite strange.

After waiting for about three quarters of an hour, the Purple Crane True Man arrived on time. Seeing Xu Shan for the first time, the Purple Crane True Man put on a smiling face and said, "Xu Xian, have you broken through to the Great Perfection stage yet?"

"No."
