This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 151 What's going on? Why does it collapse wherever you go?
Xiang Yuan undressed and hummed, showing no shame in front of Chaner.

He saw it all. He had advised her that it was the witch who insisted on staying and refusing to leave. If she was frightened and had nightmares, it was not his fault. It was the witch's own fault.

In order to prevent the witch from having ulterior motives and doing the same thing as the cowherd, he put the clothes he took off into the space of the jade disk, tested the water temperature with his toes, and found that it was acceptable. He strode in, and in a moment the water reached half his waist.

The water in the pond has been precipitated by blood stones, and has been soaked in the juice of bone-washing grass and big tendon vine, as well as the combined effects of other natural and precious medicinal materials, to accumulate considerable medicinal power. Looking down from the sky, the water in the pond appears a deep blood red, as if it is blood flowing from the wound of the earth.

At this moment, the water surface is boiling, like a pot of boiling blood, emitting misty hot air and strange light, colorful and ominous.

The roiling blood caused the medicinal residue at the bottom of the pool to rise up, and it rose and fell with the rolling undercurrent, slowly releasing its medicinal power. The high temperature created heat waves, releasing wisps of red mist, which lingered on the surface of the pool, like a boiling hot pot.

Mushroom soup hotpot!

Xiang Yuan, who is soaking in the water, is now eating freshly cut top-quality Wagyu beef.

The metaphor is a bit weird, but the opportunity is indeed good. Xiang Yuan dived down and rolled all over, feeling hot and comfortable.

As a hot medicinal power penetrated his skin, a warm current rushed into his limbs and bones, awakening the medicinal power deposited in his body. Under the combined effect of both, his blood rushed and his skin felt like it was on fire, as if every inch of bones and muscles in his body were being reforged.

()
Xiang Yuan secretly thought that this was a good opportunity. As someone who had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, there were not many ways left for him to continue strengthening his body. He immediately held his breath and concentrated, practicing the Wuxiang Seal Technique.

The Wuxiang Seal Method is divided into two branches: Wanxiang Body Refining and Zhuyin Spirit Forging. It strengthens divine power externally and the primordial spirit internally, cleanses the marrow and strengthens the bones, reverses the meridians and changes the acupoints. In terms of the miraculous effect of returning to the original state, it is second to none, and no other magic skill dares to claim to be the first.

The only drawback is that the consumption is extremely high, which causes Xiang Yuan to be very hungry. From time to time, he has to grab a handful of spiritual herbs and put them in his mouth to satisfy his craving.

At present, you have enough external supplements, so you don’t have to worry about consumption. You can let go and use all your strength to impact the major acupoints throughout your body.

It can also absorb and store the excess medicinal power that cannot be used in the body, which has many benefits.

As for the blood exchange and marrow cleansing that warriors dream of, he had already achieved this achievement before. To achieve it a second time, unless it was a top-level opportunity, it would be difficult to achieve anything relying only on this pool of water.

Zener stood by the pond and sat cross-legged. Seeing Xiang Yuan taking a bath obediently, he couldn't help but snort.

Xiang was unruly and disobedient, but in the end, he still had to use the bath water she had used.

This is just the beginning. Feed it step by step, and once it develops the habit of having an owner, it will naturally learn to wag its tail.

Xiang Yuan heard the chuckles from the pond, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't say anything. He raised his hand and beckoned, "Chan'er, come over and take a bath with me!"

"..."

Chaner ignored it. The bastard was daydreaming all day long. She would take a bath with anyone else but not with Xiang Yuan.

No, why should she take a bath with anyone? She can just take a bath alone.

Chaner murmured in his heart, and was led astray by Xiang Yuan again. He swore not to say another word and would ignore Xiang Yuan no matter how he teased him.

Chaner didn't say anything, and Xiang Yuan also quieted down. He put all his strength into practicing the Wuxiang Seal Method, speeding up the efficiency of acupuncture by doubling the consumption. He easily released the three energy points, and without sparing any of them, he concentrated his head and exerted force.

Time passed little by little, and Zener sat by the pond, just like a handyman in the woodshed who was burning fire. Whenever the water in the pond cooled down, he would wave his sword to knock down the treasures of heaven and earth, keeping the water boiling at all times and providing a steady supply of medicinal power to evaporate.

This process was rather boring, so she focused her mind, breathed in the medicinal power in the air, and began to practice.

A mosquito leg is still meat, and it is better than nothing.

……

Above their heads, there was an entrance to a cave on the cliff, and the road stretched in twists and turns into the distance.

In the darkness, three men walked slowly together.

The leading man was holding a compass in his hand. He was dressed as a Taoist priest. He calculated and muttered to himself: "This time, the city lord's birthday will be used as an opportunity to re-adjust the order of seniority based on this year's tax revenue..."

The man's name is Chang Chunming. He is the fourth in command of Dilong Fort, at least for now. He is also known as the fourth city lord by outsiders. He has reached the peak of the innate half-step state of perfection and has a very important status in Dilong Fort.

Dilongbao is different from other places because the city lord is greedy for money and does not value the so-called brotherhood of the underworld, so the right thing to do is to hang out with him and make money.

Whoever can make money and collect taxes will be the second in command and the second city lord.

Every year on the city lord’s birthday, the city lord would rank people based on their performance. Whoever earned more money this year would be ranked higher next year. Based on this logic, the third in command, the fourth in command, and so on all the way to the ninth in command were created.

Frankly speaking, this kind of seniority-based system is very unreasonable. It can easily breed a group of ungrateful people and hurt the hearts of the elderly. It lacks the cohesiveness of loyalty and will eventually lead to the loss of power and the sub-leaders working together to undermine it.

The city lord said that it doesn't matter. It's already Dilong Castle, who doesn't have a few forces behind them? Their loyalty is worse than toilet paper. Let's be realistic and talk about money!

The city lord doesn't care about being sidelined or anything like that. As long as he can fight better than anyone else, he is not afraid of having his power taken away.

The world is sober.

Because the city lord is adamant and good at fighting, and the situation in Dilong Fort is complicated, if the people below want to gain benefits for the forces behind them, they can only act according to the rules set by the city lord.

It is impossible to overturn the table. The current rules of Dilong Castle are the unspoken rules set after many forces fought overtly and secretly. No matter which family overturns the table, they will be suppressed by the other families and finally squeezed out of the dining table without even a sip of soup.

Let’s get back to the topic. Next month is the city lord’s birthday. The fourth in command, Chang Chunming, did not achieve good results this year, so he decided to open up a new track and look for a new mineral vein in the surrounding area to present to the city lord.

In order to achieve the goal, he specially recruited two masters from the behind-the-scenes forces and borrowed the compass for finding dragons and dividing gold.

The two masters, Xue Wenlong and Xue Wenjiao, are elders of the Five Poison Sect. They have reached the peak of the innate half-step state of perfection and are also twin brothers. They are in tune with each other and are proficient in the art of combined attack. Just looking at their appearance, the bulging temples of both of them are the image of masters most commonly mentioned by storytellers.

The compass for finding dragons and dividing gold is not an ordinary object either, it is a magic weapon. The owner of the magic weapon gave it to Chang Chunming, allowing him to use the compass to find new mineral veins.

The ancient road of the Styx stretches for thousands of miles, and opportunities are not so easy to find. Treasure hunting has little to do with whether or not you have a magic compass. The key lies in luck. Chang Chunming's luck is pretty good today, and he has a feeling that there must be a great opportunity ahead.

The three of them walked a few hundred steps again. Chang Chunming saw a red light in front of him and faintly heard the sound of boiling water. He grabbed a handful of wind and sniffed it.

"Big tendon vine, bone-washing grass...someone is exchanging blood and washing marrow here."

A dark light flashed in Chang Chunming's eyes, and he sent a message to the Xue brothers: "Let's go up and take a look. It should be a young man who has built his foundation. If he gets the chance, we can borrow him for use."

It was just a chance to exchange blood and cleanse marrow, which was useless to the three innate stages. But since the compass pointed to this place, it meant that the opportunity was definitely more than that. It should be that the younger generation was short-sighted and mistakenly used a great opportunity to exchange blood and cleanse marrow. Chang Chunming was disdainful of such a behavior of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, and decided to stop it.

The treasures of nature belong to those who are virtuous. If the younger ones are sensible, let them die quickly. If they are not, the Five Poison Sect has plenty of ways to torture people.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the cave. From a high vantage point, they saw Xiang Yuan rising and falling in the red pond, using the power of medicine to practice.

Chang Chunming frowned and asked in confusion: "It shouldn't be like this. The compass shows that the opportunity is here, how can it be so shallow?"

The great opportunity that was promised turned out to be just a place for blood transfusion and marrow cleansing, which made Chang Chunming, who had great expectations, very disappointed.

"We need to find out whether it is deep or shallow."

The Xue brothers stepped forward and said, "There is no one else here. Let's capture the young man below first. If there is no master with superior skills, we can kill him directly."

Chang Chunming nodded, that was indeed the truth.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Above the pond, a full moon hung silently, suddenly releasing its bright light.

It blooms with a cool light, decorating the entire night sky like a dream. The light is like mercury pouring down on the ground, penetrating every hole. The materialized beams of light penetrate down, cutting mercilessly like a sharp sword, breaking the surrounding rock walls into pieces.

In an instant, the rock layers were peeled off by the impact of the moonlight, and large pieces of earth and rocks collapsed and fell, making a deafening roar.

The original footholds of the three people no longer existed under the impact of the moonlight. They all flew into the air, and the shadows under their feet were stretched to be particularly long and slender by the moonlight.

The sudden attack caught the three of them off guard. They only looked below and did not notice that there was an enemy hiding above their heads. For a moment, their clothes were torn and their hair was scattered. They were lucky enough to activate their protective qi in time and avoid being killed on the spot.

"Which senior is practicing here? Xue Wenlong from the Five Poison Sect is here to greet you."

The Xue brothers spoke respectfully and loudly. They looked through the moonlight and saw a hazy figure. It was hard to see clearly, but it was vaguely a graceful woman.

Thinking of this, I instantly understood that the senior had obtained the opportunity to exchange blood and cleanse marrow, and was here to guide his younger generation in their practice.

The senior continued to be busy, so they didn't bother him.

Don’t do it, that’s just cowardice, this is what it’s like to cultivate immortality.

Chan'er kept her whereabouts extremely secretive and would never let them leave. No matter what the three men's intentions were, their information might be leaked out. With this concern in mind, the intruders would have no chance of leaving alive.

Now that you are here, make the best of it; the same goes for cultivating immortality.

Without any hesitation, she put her five fingers together and pressed down, and the rolling moonlight fell like rain, densely.

The moon phases are waxing and waning, and it is never just a soft and clear glow. At this moment, in Zener's hands, it turns into countless sharp blades of light, like the Milky Way descending from the sky, pouring down, or like the boiling sea and collapsing mountains, with a momentum to destroy the world.

Every ray of moonlight contained terrifying power, which intertwined into a huge murderous web at a speed as fast as lightning, covering the entire space.

Under the attack that could be described as a baptism, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound, and wherever the moonlight passed, everything was cut and shattered, with nothing spared.

At the same time, an even more powerful force from heaven and earth gathered together. This force swept over the blood pool and intertwined with the moonlight.

From a distance, it was a soft beam of light. Only when one was in it did one know how terrifying the murderous intent was. Chang Chunming and the other two were stunned at the time.

They were not rookies who had just made their debut in the martial arts world. While they respectfully addressed their predecessors, they were accumulating the power of heaven and earth. When they saw their predecessors turned against them and turned into evil women, they stood firmly in one place and simultaneously exerted the power of heaven and earth to fight against them.

Terrifying fluctuations that cannot be seen by the naked eye collided with each other, like an undercurrent hidden beneath the calm water. Waves of air spread out like invisible giant blades and fangs, cutting and gnawing at the surrounding rock walls, expanding the spacious space again.

Under the impact of these air waves, the hard rocks became as brittle as paper and were easily torn into pieces. The traces of cutting by giant blades and gnawing by fangs were shocking and visible to the naked eye.

Cracks creaked and moved, spreading and expanding continuously. The sound of rocks collapsing came one after another, either falling to the edge of the pool or smashing into the pool, stirring up large red splashes of water.

Xiang Yuan woke up from his meditation, looked up at the sky, and felt terrible.

What happened? Where did these three masters come from? Why did they start fighting?
Also, why do things collapse wherever you go? It's just a chance, can't things go smoothly for once?

Rumble!
A huge rock fell from the sky, getting bigger and bigger in front of Xiang Yuan. He was amazed that the destructive power of the Qianyuan Realm's innate period far exceeded that of the Wusheng Realm. He dived down and headed straight for the bottom of the pool.

The exits around the pond were blocked, making it impossible to leave and climbing upwards was even more impossible. The force of the real heaven and earth could not be broken through, and it would be a waste of time if one went in.

From this perspective, the witch could speak nicely to him and was quite polite!

Xiang Yuanxin complained and dodged the huge rocks falling from above and below. Seeing the crows drinking water, more and more rocks were falling and there was no place for them to stay, so he decisively got out of the water.

At this moment, a huge rock fell, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back. The entire pool of blood sank with a loud bang, and an extremely powerful suction force appeared out of nowhere, like an irresistible vacuum universe, dragging Xiang Yuan's body down suddenly.

The same thing happened to Zener and the three Five Poison Sect innates above. With the infinite gravity on their bodies, they were unable to resist even with all their strength, and they fell along with the rubble of the surrounding rock walls.

Rumble!
The underground space collapsed and fell into the next level.

Xiang Yuan was at the forefront of the fall, squinting his eyes as if he could see the pulse of the earth. As far as his sight could reach, a pool of crimson water lay there quietly.

It is unknown how long this pool of water has been buried underground. After countless years of sedimentation, the surface of the pool is as calm as a mirror without a ripple, as if even time has stopped here. The color is deep and mysterious, like a huge ruby.

It was a deep and alluring red, like the blood of the earth, a trapped flame of anger.

The rock walls at the edge of the pool are as smooth as mirrors, and they have taken on a deep red hue as the water soaks them...

This thing can only be viewed from a distance, and there is no way to get close to it!
An indescribable ominous premonition came over him. Xiang Yuanren was in mid-air, shouting in his heart that the cat and mouse would not lie, and he waved his hands desperately to swim upwards.

Pfft!
Blood splattered everywhere as Xiang Yuan fell into it. Due to the huge impact, blood gushed out of his mouth and nose, and the air in his chest was expelled. Hot blood waves like magma rushed into his mouth and spread to his internal organs.

It’s so hot, I’m dying!
