Borrowing a sword

Chapter 303 Entering the Imperial Pool
At the end of the Imperial Pool, there is a misty haze.

That was a formation set up by the female imperial advisor, who also used a concealment technique.

Chu Huaixu was already quite far away from her, so he did not notice her presence.

The woman, who was sitting on a futon and wearing only a bellyband, carefully examined the young man in the distance.

Previously inside the monastery, Lin Qingci had only casually scanned it with her divine sense.

Looking at him more closely now, well, he is indeed much more handsome than Qin Xuanxiao.

Her entire cultivation, or rather, everything she possessed, was a gift from the Ancestral Emperor.

Or rather, her life, which was manipulated, was also because of him.

At this moment, Lin Qingci looked at Chu Huaixu as if she had seen the way out of her life and the hope of liberation.

All it takes is to engage in sexual intercourse with this body, infusing everything learned from the "Wedding Dress" technique and the primal power within her into it, and she herself will be reborn.

In fact, Lin Qingci is now also thinking about where she should go after leaving the capital.

She couldn't think of an answer.

She didn't know where to go; all she knew was that she didn't want to stay there.

"Anyway, I can just use a secret technique to seal off a part of my consciousness when the time comes."

"When the time comes, after taking the aphrodisiac, you will only act on your body's instincts."

"Just consider it as being bitten by a dog," Lin Qingci thought to herself.

The "Wedding Dress" technique has its own unique characteristics.

Just as the Emperor's divine will said, it requires the coordination of body and mind.

Obtaining a woman's primordial yin can bring immense benefits.

However, it requires the body to reach the peak of pleasure.

Lin Qingci sat at the farthest point, quietly observing Chu Huaixu.

The divine consciousness of the emperor within her was the same.

However, after a while, her eyes, which had been devoid of joy or sorrow, suddenly became calm and she subconsciously looked away.

Even though she had maintained a calm demeanor, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.

Because Chu Huaixu was about to enter the first pool.

According to the rules, before entering the Imperial Pool, one can only wear a blood-red crystal necklace; everything else must be removed.

Although he didn't take the route of a big, muscular guy.

One can imagine how strong and robust the physique of someone who practices body refinement is.

He himself sometimes feels that his physique is simply a walking work of art!
"If this were on Earth, I'd have to find the best artist to create a sculpture for me!"

"It's too perfect." Chu Huaixu often thought this way.

What he didn't know was that at that moment, there was another "person" expressing similar sentiments.

The voice of the ancestral emperor echoed in Lin Qingci's mind.

"In this day and age, body training is a slow and gradual process."

“In my time, there was constant warfare, and those who practiced body cultivation were well-suited to hone their skills on the battlefield, which actually produced some strong individuals.”

"This boy cultivates both sword and body techniques, and he has managed to hone his physique to such a solid level."

"Even with my discerning eye, I have never seen a more perfect body refiner than him."

"I don't know if the Dao Ancestor's Dao Canon is truly profound and unparalleled, or if this child is just born with the talent for body refinement."

Lin Qingci could tell that the Ancestral Emperor was becoming increasingly satisfied with this physical body.

Honestly, she also felt that, apart from having the blood of the Qin family, Qin Xuanxiao was indeed inferior to Chu Huaixu in all aspects.

This coffin-like stone building contains ten imperial pools.

Chu Huaixu knew that, according to the rules, he had to enter the Imperial Pool in order.

Wearing a blood-red crystal necklace, he slowly stepped into the Imperial Pool and sat down to soak. The water was rather hot.

"Damn, it's more like a public bathhouse now," he thought.

Some public bathhouses are like that; the water is so hot that you can't sit down in one go.

He had only been soaking for a short time when he felt a warm current begin to grow in his body.

His experience points began to rise in his character panel.

However, the growth rate was not as fast as he had expected.

Every now and then, I only gain a few hundred experience points.

"At this level, it's not much different from taking a medicinal bath," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

But this was only the first imperial pool, so he wasn't in a hurry, thinking that he would probably proceed step by step later.

Right in front of him was a stone platform.

On the stone platform, there are ten beads the size of longan.

At this moment, the first bead has lit up, emitting a faint light.

Chu Huaixu knew that these beads could actually be understood as a standard for judgment.

The higher the absorption rate, the more beads will light up.

When ten lights are lit, it means that the absorption limit has been reached.

According to the rules, if your absorption level in a certain Imperial Pool is less than six beads, then you cannot enter the next Imperial Pool.

If you don't lay a solid foundation, going any further will lead to certain death; you'll explode and die.

"I heard that when Qin Xuanxiao first entered the Imperial Pool, the first three pools each had ten pearls, the fourth to sixth pools each had nine pearls, and the seventh to ninth pools each had eight pearls."

"The second time I entered the Imperial Pool, the first five places each had ten pearls, while the sixth to ninth places each had nine pearls."

This is already the most remarkable achievement in the past few centuries.

"It seems that the female national teacher of the Moon Kingdom had similar results when she entered the Imperial Pool as Qin Xuanxiao did the first time, except that her rating in the ninth Imperial Pool was only seven beads," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

Come to think of it, this place seems quite suitable for Xiao Xu, who's always on his medicine rack.

He felt that if Xiao Xu were to absorb the energy contained within, he might be able to reach the maximum level all the way through.
At this moment, Chu Huaixu did not close his eyes to regulate his breathing. He just kept his eyes open, looking at the beads on the stone platform and watching them light up one by one.

Soon, all ten beads were lit up.

Chu Huaixu checked the [Cultivation Skill Experience Points] in the character panel and found that he had gained a total of 5000 experience points.

"That's pitifully little," he thought.

For him, who is level 37, 5,000 experience points are no longer enough to do anything.

In the distance, amidst the misty haze, Lin Qingci looked at the ten lit beads without any surprise.

It would be strange if the supreme leader of Xuanhuang could not absorb the nutrients to their full potential in the first few imperial pools.

Seeing that Chu Huaixu was about to get up from the Imperial Pool, she did not turn her head, but only slightly averted her gaze.

However, after getting up halfway, the young man suddenly sat back down.

"Hmm?" the Ancestral Emperor asked, sounding puzzled.

Chu Huaixu has already absorbed ten beads, so continuing to soak it is useless and will not bring any further benefits.

If you want it to take effect again, you'll have to wait two years.

Qin Xuanxiao entered the Imperial Pool twice, with exactly two years in between.

Upon hearing the voice of the Ancestral Emperor, Lin Qingci once again focused her gaze on the young man.

He's continuing to soak in the water, surely it's not because he's feeling too comfortable or relaxed?

Both of them began to wait and see what he would do next.

Immediately afterwards, they saw a golden mark appear between Chu Huaixu's eyebrows, and suddenly a blazing golden flame appeared in his dark eyes, as if burning inside them!
