“Qin Li, you coward!”
Yang Jianyi stopped in front of the road, his sharp gaze pointing straight at Qin Li as if he wanted to pierce him through.
Qin Li, on the contrary, looked indifferent and said, “I wonder what Senior Brother Yang has to teach me?”
Yang Jianyi coldly snorted, “Cultivators of my generation, what fear of a battle, deluding you to have realised the Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Intent, you don’t even dare to accept my challenge, you’re simply dishonouring the word Sword Cultivator!”
Qin Li laughed, “To be precise, I’m not a sword cultivator, but a Dan cultivator, thus joining the Dan division instead of the Sword division.”
Yang Jianyi was at a loss for words and did not know how to reply.
“I see that you’ve wimped out!”Yang Xiaomou jumped out, holding his head high as he said smugly, “Qin Li, are you afraid of my brother’s Thunder Sound Sword Intent, so you don’t dare to fight.”
“Nonsense!”Lin Xiu Xiu huffed and stood out, grunting coldly, “Underdog, don’t talk nonsense. Our Eldest Senior Brother is superbly strong and has a superb posture, he doesn’t care to struggle with Yang Jianyi.”
When these words came out, the people from the Sword Division were offended and opened their mouths to refute them.
“Battle shyness is battle shyness, don’t hide it.”
“Our Senior Brother of the Sword Division is the number one in the academy.”
“Right! Eldest Senior Brother is number one in the Grand Competition, Qin Li is only number three, the difference between high and low.”
The Dan Division disciples also exploded, in their hearts Qin Li was a flawless jewel, unable to tolerate the slightest insult.
“Our Dan Division Eldest Brother is the strongest!”
“Yun Shiyu is so powerful, but she still lost to Eldest Brother.”
“That’s right! That said, when Yun Shiyu challenged, Yang Jianyi didn’t put up a fight either, is it hard to believe that he was also battle-shy?”
The disciples of the two divisions, completely deadlocked, no one was convinced of anyone, and each looked at the other with displeasure.
Green-robed Immortal King, Red-eyebrowed Immortal King, and Heavy Sword Immortal King, immediately felt bad, how did the disciples of the two families inexplicably hate each other.
“Silence!”
Husband Xu opened his mouth.
It was like a spring breeze brushing green water, dispelling all the anger.
Husbandman seemed to be a little disappointed, shaking his head slightly, saying, “Sword division disciples, Dan division disciples, go back and be punished for copying the disciplinary rules a hundred times.”
After saying that, Husbandman Xu whisked his sleeve and left.
At once!
The Red Eyebrows Immortal King was enraged, “Look at your behaviour, your faces are red and spitting, like scolding shrews in their Taoist robes, what is the decency of this.”
Heavy Sword Immortal King also felt that his face was damaged and his temper exploded, “You guys disappoint me too much, Sword Department disciples, after you go back, copy the disciplinary rules for me 500 times and hand them over to me three days later. And Yang Xiaomiao, you are punished to copy a thousand times.”
The green-robed Immortal King also snorted coldly, “Lin Xiu Xiu, you’re no better, copy the door rules a thousand times for me as well.”
The three Immortal Kings were in waves of anger.
The disciples of the two divisions were silenced, all of them bowed their heads, just like errant pupils, not daring to utter a single breath. Lin Xiuxiu and Yang Xiaomiao were even trembling.
“Alright, alright, all disperse!”Han asked and waved his hand.
A farce ended.
The group of disciples continued to compete in an orderly manner.
Yang Jianyi pursed his thin lips at this and didn’t say anything else.
“Three senior disciples, follow me!”Han asked as he rose into the air and led the way in front.
Qin Li, Yang Jianyi, and Wan Qingshan also stepped on the recluse and followed.
It didn’t take long!
The four of them entered a barren area.
The surroundings gradually lost their greenery, and the mountain peaks were bare and lifeless.
Wan Qingshan couldn’t help but say, “The secret realm of the academy is extremely high in spiritual qi, everywhere there are spiritual peaks, waterfalls and springs, how come this place is all barren mountains, is the Earth Elemental Pool really in this place?”
Han asked meaningfully, “True treasures are always in harmony with the light, those sharp artefacts will all break down early.”
After flying for a while longer.
The four came before a short mountain.
The mountain wasn’t high, three hundred and thirty-three feet, the mountain wasn’t beautiful, but it was permeated with a rich spiritual qi. Moreover, on top of the mountain wall, there was a large “He” character engraved, which contained a Taoist rhythm, and an ordinary person would feel peace of mind just by taking a look at it.
“This is the ‘Mountain of Harmony’, and the Earth Origin Pool is down there.”
Han asked in a deeper tone, slowly saying, “A long time ago, Husbandman Zi came to this secret realm and discovered the Earth Origin Pool, so he opened the Xixuan Academy here, accepting a wide range of disciples.”
“The Earth Elemental Pool possesses the marvellous effect of cleansing the marrow and subduing the meridians, and many disciples were willing to fight and sword fight for a place. The Husbandman was so disappointed that he carved the word ‘He’ on the mountain cliff!”
“He, is the purpose of the academy. As the saying goes, harmony and light, emptiness of mind, leisurely with the world, floating to resolve disputes. As gentle as water, as warm as beautiful jade, this is how a great cultivator behaves, with both a great spirit and a great mind.”
After a few words, it didn’t seem like an explanation, but rather like a heartfelt teaching.
“Taught!”Qin Li said vainly.
“Many thanks for your teaching, Senior Brother!”Wan Qingshan arched his hand.
“Senior brother knows his mistake!”Yang Jianyi bowed his head, he was indeed too reckless just now, directly intensifying the conflict between the Dan and Sword Divisions, he really shouldn’t have.
“Knowing one’s mistake and being able to change it is a good thing!”Han asked with a heartfelt smile:
“Alright, open the Earth Origin Pool.”
Boom!
A thick voice rang out.
Mount Wo revealed a hole, and extremely dense aura spewed out.
“All follow me!”
Han asked as he entered the cave.
Qin Li and the others followed, stepping into the tunnel.
“Wait, this colour, could it be purple jade!”Wan Qingshan exclaimed.
Yang Jianyi looked at the mountain wall and said in horror, “The entire and mountain is actually a purple jade mountain?”
Qin Li touched the mountain wall and found quite a few dewdrops, “These dewdrops, they should be the product of the aura being so dense that it liquefies, this is a third grade alchemy material.”
“Don’t be so startled, ahead is the Earth Origin Pool.”Han asked and called out.
The few people quickly stepped forward, and it suddenly became clear.
Qin Li looked around.
Within the He Mountain, the belly of the mountain was hollow and there was a pool at the centre.
The pool was nine feet wide, and it was filled with purple Yuan Liquid, with clouds of vapour, purple aura, and spiritual light.
Qin Li sniffed a mouthful, and immediately felt his entire body relax, his spirit greatly invigorated, his body’s Immortal Dignity blood slightly vibrating, if the entire person soaked in, the benefits would be unbelievable.
“This is the Earth Elemental Pool!”Han asked, explaining, “He Mountain is a natural formation, extracting the earth’s Yuan Qi from all directions, converging in the pool to form the Purple Yuan Liquid, the wonderful uses are endless, this is a great opportunity, you guys quickly go down.”
Qin Li couldn’t wait, taking off his Cang Lan Snow Robe, he was about to jump into the pool, but as soon as he touched the Purple Yuan Liquid, his skin felt like it was being stabbed by needles, the pain was abnormal.
“Hiss! It hurts, how come the Purple Yuan Liquid is similar to strong acid.”
Han asked and laughed, “Marrow cleansing is a painful thing, whether you can bear it or not depends on your respective wills.”
Hearing this!
The trio’s hearts were clear.
They gritted their teeth and sat in the Earthly Yuan Pool.
Among them, Qin Li was in the most pain, he felt like there were a hundred thousand ox-hair needles that entered through his pores, travelled through his blood vessels and meridians, and finally penetrated deep into his bones to wash his medulla.
This pain was even more horrifying than the dismantling of eight pieces, and was close to death by a thousand cuts!
Qin Li’s eyes were red with pain, and his teeth were about to be clenched. But he chose to suffer in silence, for this was the price he had to pay.
Taking pills to cultivate was fraught with hidden dangers, not only was the Immortal energy refuted, but the later one went, the easier it was to go off the deep end. Because of this, the Green-robed Immortal King and the Red-eyebrowed Immortal King had both stopped at the Sixth Grade of Immortal King.
Qin Li, on the other hand, had taken a large number of pills at every realm since the beginning of the Earth, and had accumulated a very large number of dan poisons within his body, and even his Immortal Exalted Blood had many dregs.
Now was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Earthly Origin Pool to cleanse the marrow and warp the meridians, just in time to resolve this great hidden danger.
“It hurts too much!”
Qin Li’s skin was crimson as purple Qi swam within his body.
At this moment, the Qian Kun Bead seemed to sense something and steeply spewed out a clear light.
Qin Li thought that the Qian Kun Bead would subside the pain, who knew that it had come to add fuel to the fire, the clear light mixing with the violet Qi, forming a terrifying washing storm.
“Sharp pain ah ……”
Qin Li was on the verge of running out of breath, but the benefits were extremely obvious.
Deep within his blood and flesh, some subtle black impurities were washed out, which were the residual dan poisons from the pills he had previously consumed, gathering into a ball and eliminating them from his pores, forming a fishy smelling black slime.
Moreover, the Clear Light Violet Qi did not stop there, delving deep into Qin Li’s dantian, it began to flush out a thousand drops of Immortal Exalted Blood.
The refuted medicinal qi laced within it was removed, leaving behind only the purest Immortal energy, and the essence of life.
Previously, Qin Li’s Immortal Exalted Blood was golden in colour, but now the gold was glowing with a radiant golden radiance, faintly tinged with hints of purple aura, forming a noble and mysterious purple-gold colour.
Not far away.
Han asked to escort the three of them.
He noticed the changes in Qin Li and muttered, “Odd, Senior Brother Qin’s reaction is so intense, it’s not like a marrow cleansing, but rather like a shedding of bones?”
