Chapter 18: The Cold Pool

Looking at the famous brand of Mountain Spring Valley, which had been eroded by wind and rain for a long time and was close to decay, Sun An raised his eyebrows.

The registration of various cave mansions is not uncommon for Sun An, who has been in the Surveillance Pavilion for a long time, but after so many years in the Surveillance Pavilion, there are still the first disciples in the Mountain Spring Valley who are willing to live there.

The price of one hundred and fifty contribution points a year is not cheap for outer disciples, and the terrain is remote, so you can choose a better cave house for the same price.

But Sun An didn't say much, he was already a taciturn character, otherwise he wouldn't have the title of black-faced monkey.

Taking a deep look at Li Haixuan, Sun An took Li Haixuan's waist card and the famous brand of Shanquan Valley as if it were a routine, and after making relevant records, he returned the waist card and the jade slip that recorded the lease record of Shanquan Valley to the latter.

"The lease period is one year, a total of one hundred and fifty contribution points have been deducted, if you can't pay the contribution slip on time next year, the sect will take back the right to use the mountain spring valley."

"Okay." Li Haixuan smiled slightly and took the jade slip and the waist card, from now on, the Mountain Spring Valley is already his personal territory.

One hundred and fifty contribution points is not a small amount for an outer disciple, and the same is true for Li Haixuan.

However, the five years he spent in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion were not in vain, and with the help of Zhuge Pavilion Elder, he had a fixed amount of ten contribution points to receive every month.

In the name of helping to manage the affairs related to the merit pavilion.

So in the past five years, he has accumulated a lot of contribution points.

After doing all this, Li Haixuan said goodbye to Sun An and left from the monitoring pavilion.

After a stick of incense, the blue streamer quickly swept from afar, and then stopped at the mouth of the mountain spring valley.

Hearing the sound of the clear spring in the valley and the birdsong in his ears, Li Haixuan showed a heartfelt smile on his face.

From today, his outer life officially began.

Although there is a word 'valley' in the mountain spring valley, in fact, the area inside is not very large, except for the surrounding closed cliffs, the open space that appears is about 30 zhang square.

The mountain spring above flows, and there is a deep green pool about five zhang in the middle of the valley.

Next to the waterhole is a simple stone hut, there is no cave here, which is why many disciples in the sect are reluctant to come here.

Li Haixuan is not picky about the living environment, as long as there is a place that can shelter from the wind and rain.

Crunch! With a groan of pain, the crumbling stone door was pushed open by Li Haixuan, and a musty smell born from dampness all year round came from the stone house.

Li Haixuan frowned, it stands to reason that he should clean his residence well.

But after glancing at the dark surroundings inside, he gave up on the idea, and he didn't even set foot in the stone house, and stopped at the doorway.

Then his eyes looked at the waterhole in front of him and showed a meaningful smile.

The waterhole is turquoise, and occasionally small birds in the valley will stop by Tan to drink water or groom their feathers.

Suddenly, two birds drinking water on Tan's side seemed to be frightened, and at the same time spread their wings from Tan's side and hurriedly left.

Li Haixuan walked to Tan's side without hurry, leaned over and bent over, and gently probed his palm into the water.

The water is very cold, almost frozen, which is very strange, because the water here is not stagnant, and it is obviously unreasonable to have such a low temperature.

Besides, the water temperature should be almost frozen, but the entire pool of water has not even floated up a bit.

Li Haixuan could feel the cold touch of the pond water shining on his five fingers, and ordinary people were afraid that they had just put their hands in it, and they would have to pull it back soon, otherwise they would be frozen.

At this temperature, it didn't freeze at all.

These unusualness did not surprise Li Haixuan, but he showed an intriguing smile and muttered, "It's really weird." ”

The main reason why he chose the Mountain Spring Valley was the existence of this deep pool.

In his eyes, he could see many things that ordinary people could not see.

A long time ago, he happened to pass by outside the mountain spring valley and discovered the clues of this place from afar.

From his point of view, the pool was not as calm as it seemed.

Wisps of spiritual energy continued to seep out from the bottom of the pool, making the concentration of spiritual energy in this pool almost twice as high as that of the outside world.

But the strange thing is that after these spiritual energy floated out of the pool, they quickly dissipated between the valleys.

Unless you are in the water, it is difficult to perceive the strangeness of the water.

This is also the reason why the monks who have been to the mountain spring valley have not noticed the clues of this pool of water.

Not everyone has Li Haixuan's eyes, and no one will throw themselves into such a cold pool to cultivate, they only feel that cultivating in this valley is a little faster than the outside world, and that is just the result of the aura in the pool water floating out.

For a variety of reasons, these people missed this opportunity.

Li Haixuan was undoubtedly lucky, and after the corners of his mouth were raised, he quickly took off his clothes on Tan's side, revealing his slender and well-proportioned body.

If you look carefully, you will find that there is a looming black tattoo on the back of Li Haixuan's body, similar to a centipede.

The tattoo spread from his tail vertebrae to his cervical vertebrae, almost close to the end of his cervical vertebrae.

Li Haixuan didn't seem to like the tattoo on his back very much, and gently stroked it to reveal a disgusted expression.

Then he took a deep breath and slowly walked into the pool, still surrounded by the cold, biting liquid.

Suck! Rao is based on Li Haixuan's current cultivation, and after stepping into the pool, he couldn't help but gasp, and his face trembled slightly.

The biting coolness contained in the pool water in all directions, the moment Li Haixuan stepped into the water, rushed to follow his pores, and then burrowed into his flesh.

It made Li Haixuan feel like he was frozen by a huge ice cube.

The inside of this pool of water is even more terrifying than the temperature on the surface.

A monk of the same realm as him may not be able to persist in tea making under this kind of cold.

"Miscalculated!" Li Haixuan muttered, a bitter expression on his frozen pale face.

He miscalculated his strength, this pool of water did contain a strong aura, but he didn't seem to have been blessed with these aura.

He roughly estimated that even if he mobilized his aura with all his might, he would at most hold on to a stick of incense in this pool of water, and he was afraid that he would have to get up.

Because staying at this temperature for a long time, his flesh may be harmed.

In other words, Li Haixuan can only cultivate one stick of incense for a long time.

Isn't this a drop in the bucket for a day's cultivation?

Li Haixuan's face was full of loss, just as he was about to get up.

Suddenly, his face was stunned.

When the cold was about to penetrate the surface of his body and spread to the inside of his body, causing damage to his internal organs, a warmth quietly revived from his body, expelling the cold yin qi.

It is precisely for this reason that from the moment he stepped into the pool, he did not use his spiritual power, and although the temperature of the pool was cold and biting, it had not yet reached the point where he could not bear it.

His body seemed to be barely able to withstand the temperature of the pool.

"Is it because the candle yin gong has strengthened my meridians?" Li Haixuan muttered in a tone of not very certainty.

In fact, he was only half right, the Candle Yin Gong not only strengthened his meridians, but also his flesh and bones have undergone subtle changes under the Candle Yin Gong.

made his physique different from ordinary people.

For monks who have passed the five chakras, they can only hold on to a stick of incense in the pool water.

And he, apparently, is more than these times.

Regardless, this is undoubtedly good news.

Li Haixuan didn't think much about it, quickly gathered his mind, and just sat down in the pool, only revealing one head, and tentatively ran the candle yin gong.

Boom! In the deep pool, a blue flame immediately burned.

As soon as Li Haixuan was lucky, he realized that he didn't need too much traction at all, and the aura contained in the pool water seemed to have found an outlet, and rushed towards his body frantically.

The richness of the aura was even much more than Li Haixuan expected.

"What a rich aura." Li Haixuan couldn't help but marvel.

Fortunately, his candle yin skill was special enough, and when those spiritual energy passed over the surface of his body, it would be filtered by the azure flames once.

Less than one-third of the aura actually entered his body, so there was no need to worry about wasting it because his body couldn't absorb it because of too much aura.

Despite this, the amount of aura that has been roughly filtered once is also quite impressive, and very pure.

I'm afraid that the meridians of ordinary monks will not be able to bear it.

But for Li Haixuan, who has been strengthened by the candle yin gong, there are not so many worries.

No matter how much spiritual power he had, he would take it all.

These various performances made Li Haixuan couldn't help but marvel.

This place is simply tailor-made for him.

Cultivating here, his cultivation speed is more than twice as fast as in the outside world.

Originally, he still didn't have much confidence in how he cultivated from the early stage of the Five Chakras to the peak of the Five Chakras in five months.

Now, he can say without exaggeration that there is absolutely no problem.

This time the cultivation lasted until the early morning of the next day, and for five full hours, Li Haixuan did not come out of the pool.

From the trembling of his body at the beginning, to later, Li Haixuan's face was as usual, and he seemed to have adapted to the cold of the pool.

And in the past five hours, his body has not reached the limit, even if he can still feel the biting cold, but that level of cold will not hurt him.

Crash! With the splash of water, Li Haixuan walked out of the water, and the crystal liquid slipped from his white body.

He reluctantly glanced at the position of Tanshui's own cultivation.

If he hadn't had something to attend to today, he would have wanted to stay inside.

The speed of cultivation here was so fast, he only cultivated for one day, which was enough to be worth three days of cultivation in the outside world.

"It's decided, I'll come back to retreat when I've dealt with the matter over there." Putting on his clothes, Li Haixuan secretly swore an oath, and strode towards the rising sun shooting from outside the valley.

This time, he was going to Bowen Building, not to pass on information, and it had only been three days since the last time he passed on information.

To be on the safe side, his connector wouldn't give him tasks so often.

And Li Haixuan took the initiative to go this time, with only one purpose, he was going to retreat.

Because it is once every five years, facing the experience of a new disciple is about to begin, he must retreat to impact his cultivation so that he can pass this experience and assessment.

Li Haixuan used this reason, and the connector had no reason to refuse.

Because once Li Haixuan leaves Lanyue Gate because he failed the assessment, they will lose an important senior secret.

As for the fact that he was going to retreat, Li Haixuan had already stayed in the information when he passed on the information the day before yesterday, and the person hiding behind it should have seen it.
