Chapter 3: The Views of the Mortal
It only took one month to enter the first layer of Qi training, and he was also considered a leader among the outer disciples in the same period, which was undoubtedly due to Lin Yu's diligence, and of course there was a very important reason: Lin Yu was only cultivating, and the other disciples were all intoxicated by the colorful world of cultivation, such as imperial sword, alchemy, cultivating spiritual plants, captive cute beasts, and a variety of exercise cheats, and how many people could cultivate without distractions like Lin Yu.

Lin Yu hadn't been happy for too long before he discovered a serious problem, the flying sword he condensed was just a white mang, mixed with a little red color, at first glance, it looked like a white practice in the air was very good-looking, but in fact it was the result of a sparse aura, even half a foot less than the description in the book.
So Lin Yu rushed to the library non-stop, flipped through hundreds of classics, and finally found the reason, it turned out that his spiritual root was too poor, and the spiritual energy he could absorb was really limited, and the spiritual energy was impure, and the condensed spiritual sword was far inferior to others. As a result, his spiritual power is insufficient, his strength is not comparable to that of fellow practitioners, and the most serious thing is that his foundation is unstable, and it is difficult to improve his cultivation in the future.
Thick accumulation can become a tool, practicing martial arts is so, and cultivation is even more so, without a deep foundation, it is destined to not go far on the road of cultivation, Lin Yu knows the truth very well, and hurriedly looks for a solution.
In the corner of the library pavilion, Lin Yu found a dusty essay, called "The Views of Fan Chen", the book only has a few pieces of paper, sandwiched between several classics, and he doesn't pay attention to it or even notice it. Most of the above talk about mortal things, Lin Yu doesn't report any hope, but he feels that he has some fate with himself, maybe this mortal word has some fate with him.
There is a sentence in the book: What is cultivating immortals? Cultivating indifferently, cultivating ruthlessly, cultivating to be high, and cultivating to no longer be a person! Is this cultivating immortals?
The author first asked a question, answered it himself, and finally asked a rhetorical question, which is really puzzling. Although Lin Yu is curious, he will not trace the source, he is more interested in the subsequent content.
The essay mentions the method of extracting the soul, quenching the body with innate water, and extracting the spirit with the extremely cold air. Lin Yu's heart was moved, if as the book said, as long as he could endure the pain of the Soul Extraction, theoretically a cultivator could infinitely refine the natal weapon and create a foundation beyond the Heavenly Spirit Root.
Cuiling must have innate extremely cold water, how can it be good? Lin Yu made a difficulty, he stayed at home, he didn't have any friends in the sect, and he didn't even have news. The only one in the sect who has a little intersection with Lin Yu is Elder Shui who lectures on Elder Shui, but Elder Shui is impatient with him every day, and he doesn't think he will help him.
Suddenly, Lin Yu thought that Elder Shui had proudly said that he had cultivated a gradual freezing flower, if Lin Yu remembered correctly, this flower needed to be cultivated with Extreme Cold Spirit Water.
Maybe Elder Shui really had news, and Lin Yu couldn't care about it and went straight to Qingshao Peak.
Lin Yu explained his intentions, and the method of extracting spirits was not hidden, who would have thought that Elder Shui would agree after hearing this, which made Lin Yu flattered.
In fact, Lin Yu was too pessimistic, although Elder Shui had a straight face towards him, he actually recognized Lin Yu's efforts, and there was another point, the innate spiritual water was not as precious as Lin Yu thought, and the unfrozen cliff under the Qingshao Peak was the innate spiritual water, but Lin Yu didn't know about it.
Few people know the method of extracting spirits, but it is not a big secret, although the method of extracting spirits can refine the foundation, but it is only useful before refining the sixth layer of qi, and the extraction of spirits is very harmful to the body, and the slightest carelessness will be wasted, and normal sects will not encourage disciples to refine spirits.
Only a disciple like Lin Yu, who has mediocre qualifications but is extremely eager for strength, chooses Cuiling. Elder Shui knew that Lin Yu's will was far beyond ordinary people, and he could complete the Spirit Extraction at least twice, Elder Shui was curious, and did not leave immediately.
The cliff is where many mountain streams converge, the source of which does not know where it begins, and under the cliff is a pond of mist. The water of the unfrozen cliff is not frozen because the temperature is not enough, but because the water contains an amazing innate aura, so it will not freeze, and the temperature is far below the freezing point, and ordinary people will directly turn into ice when they touch it.
Just by getting close to the mist, Lin Yu could feel the biting cold, and he couldn't help but shiver all over his body, but he didn't hesitate and slowly stepped into the unfrozen water.
Most of Lin Yu's body was not in the water, his face was covered with a layer of frost, his expression was serious, and his brows were slightly furrowed. He didn't dare to waste a little time and began to cultivate, the powerful innate aura seeped into Lin Yu's skin, wanting to enter his sea of consciousness, but because the aura that Lin Yu's refining layer could hold had reached its limit, it was difficult to enter for a while.
About a quarter of an hour later, Lin Yu's head was covered with hoarfrost, and his lips were also purple from the cold, and at this time, his sea of consciousness appeared a little loose. Under the stimulation of the extremely cold water and the squeeze of the innate aura, finally the aura began to seep into Lin Yu's sea of knowledge, and then more.
At this time, Lin Yu's expression appeared painful, and his lips were bitten out of blood. This pain is like the bones being stretched and deformed by a strong external force, and it hurts the heart.
Isn't it just suffering? After the family came to Suzhou, they don't know how much they have suffered, and this bit of suffering is just the suffering of flesh and skin, so what is it? He is the only hope for the whole family, how can they give up.
The innate aura converged more and more, and the natal spirit sword in Lin Yu's body began to change, not only increasing by a few points, but also turning the color of crimson.
The first time was not as difficult as Lin Yu imagined, and a large part of it was because his foundation was too poor, so Cuiling was much easier.
Elder Shui in the distance knew that Lin Yu would definitely succeed, but at least his vitality was greatly damaged, who would have thought that it would be so easy, and what surprised him even more was that Lin Yu barely paused, took a few steps forward, and began to refine the spirit for the second time.
The closer to the center the water becomes, the colder it gets, and the better the effect of the soul extraction, but the pain to endure is also several times that of the previous one.
It didn't take long for Lin Yu to complete the second Soul Extraction, and there was hardly any blood on his face, and his movements became stiff. At this time, the spirit sword of Zhihai had a faint purple color.
In Elder Shui's incredulous gaze, Lin Yu once again moved towards the center, he was going to carry out the third spirit extraction! Elder Water had lived for so long and had only seen a genius who had successfully extracted the spirit three times, but he had to know that the three spirit extractions were not completed at one time, each time the spirit extraction would be greatly damaged, and the difficulty was even more difficult every time, Lin Yu had three spirit extractions a day, and in his eyes he was undoubtedly unaware of the heavens and the earth.
After only three steps, Lin Yu's face suddenly became hideous, and his almost unconscious body trembled violently. Lin Yu knew that it was not enough, so he took another step with difficulty, and his body could barely move at this time.
The Nine Spirits Imperial Sword Technique was silently recited in Lin Yu's heart, and now he had only one thought, cultivation, he couldn't stop here.
The innate aura continued to stimulate Lin Yu's skin, slowly flowing into his sea of consciousness, and the surrounding spiritual water began to ripple, and then formed a small whirlpool around Lin Yu.
However, the pain on Lin Yu's face became more obvious, and his expression became distorted, how could others understand this pain.
Suddenly, the mighty whirlpool came to an abrupt end, the water surface became calm again, and Lin Yu fainted!
"Alas......" Elder Shui shook his head, sighing in his heart that this kid was too stubborn, how could the third layer of the Soul Extraction be so easy, if the heavens were giving him one more talent, I believe he would definitely be able to become a giant, but it was a pity.
When Elder Shui rescued Lin Yu, he found that he was covered with frostbite all over his body, but he didn't snort from beginning to end. However, Elder Shui didn't know that although Lin Yu eventually fell unconscious, the Natal Spirit Sword in his body had changed again, not only turning purple, but also the sword body had grown by an inch, which indicated that Lin Yu had completed the third Spirit Extraction.
After Lin Yu woke up, he found that he had already extracted the spirit three times, and he was overjoyed, in just one day, his strength had increased by at least three times compared to before, the method of extracting the spirit was so wonderful. After enjoying such changes, Lin Yu looked forward to a higher level of Soul Extraction even more, so he asked Elder Shui to let him continue his cultivation at the Immortal Cliff.
Today's matter, Elder Shui admired Lin Yu a little more, he thought that Lin Yu was unwilling to give up and wanted to impact the third Soul Extraction, how could he bear to let him be shattered by this spirit, so he agreed. However, he warned Lin Yu not to be greedy for merit, no one would be able to save him if he was not in the future.
In the next two months, Lin Yu focused on the Cuiling, and every time he completed it, he felt that it was not enough, this was not his limit, for ordinary people, the body was the limit, but for Lin Yu, life was the limit, as long as he didn't die, he wouldn't stop.
In two months, he had actually completed eight soul extractions, and if he let Elder Shui know, his jaw would surely drop in shock, what kind of perseverance could he accomplish such a miracle.
At this time, Lin Yu was already in the center of the pond, and further on was under the Frozen Cliff, he knew that if he wanted to complete the Ninth Spirit Extraction, he needed to start the waterfall from the cliff.
The spiritual water flowed down from the cliff, and the stones that were hit were all round and smooth, losing their edges and corners, so it was difficult to stir up too big a wave. When Lin Yu walked to the bottom of the cliff, the spiritual water hit his back, and the water splashed everywhere.
In an instant, Lin Yu almost fell to his knees, the instantaneous pressure and cold were unprecedented before, it seemed that he was about to go out of his body and die here, but the next moment, the unfrozen water was scattered all over his body, it was so enjoyable, and the previous cold was gone.
The Nine Spirits Imperial Sword Technique began to operate, Lin Yu was extremely familiar with this moment, he was already very familiar with the aura, countless auras were injected into his natal spirit sword, the color of the spirit sword became darker and darker, and finally it turned blue-black, only the edge was a little silvery, and the length of the sword was shorter than before, but the aura contained in it had reached the limit of terror.
The ninth Soul Extraction was even smoother than the previous eight, and it was a matter of course, but only Lin Yu knew the danger. Lin Yu knew that this was the limit, his limit, ninety-nine was the extreme, and it was impossible for him to challenge the tenth Soul Extraction.
For two months, Lin Yu had spent most of his time in this cold pool, and now his body was as smooth as a pebble, and his skin was much whiter, and the energy in it was different from before. Among them, the biggest credit is naturally the perseverance in Lin Yu's heart, and the role of that essay, Lin Yu is sure that the author is not extraordinary.
Today is the third month that Lin Yu came to the Sword Creek Sect, and it is also the day when the sect first tests the cultivation progress of the outer disciples, if it weren't for this, Lin Yu would still want to soak in this unfrozen water.
