The weight of the Alchemy Formation Stone was about 2,000 kilos.
Even with all of Ling Xiao's current strength, he could only lift about 2,500 kilograms. Although he could definitely lift this thing, the feeling of heaviness was still very obvious.
Strangely, this thing didn't cause any damage to his clothes when he put it in his pocket. This was probably due to the formation array on it.
"Master, I can't even walk with this thing. How can I fight?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but chuckle bitterly.
"My good disciple, I know that there is a special power in your body. Furthermore, your Quintessential Origin Energy is too vigorous. Therefore, you will often use this power involuntarily during battle. This isn't a bad thing, but it isn't very beneficial for honing your martial techniques," the Yuan Venerate said seriously.
"Master, do you mean that I won't be able to use all my Quintessential Origin Energy with this thing?"
"That's right. This Alchemy Formation Stone has a special sealing formation array that can greatly suppress Quintessential Origin Energy, spirit power, and other special powers. You only need to conserve Quintessential Origin Energy that is equivalent to your cultivation base."
The Yuan Venerate nodded. "After training for a period of time, you will be shocked when you remove the Alchemy Formation Stone. Furthermore, doing this will also be very helpful for your cultivation of the Nine Meridian Aura Sword, the 12 Golden Lotus Arts, and the Sky Dragon Golden Body."
"I understand, Master."
Ling Xiao wasn't stupid. He understood the Yuan Venerate's reason for doing this.
If he only relied on Quintessential Origin Energy to win during battle, then the improvement of his martial techniques would be very limited. Furthermore, his thirst for Quintessential Origin Energy would weaken, which would definitely affect his cultivation.
Although this seemed like a small problem, it actually had far-reaching effects.
This was the advantage of experience.
Even if Ling Xiao had the Mountain River Martial Soul, he wouldn't be able to make up for it. He would have to learn from others.
…
This was a desert. Many places had already turned into sand. No one knew when it would turn into a desert.
The scorching sun was like fire, scorching the earth relentlessly. The sand on the ground was almost boiling hot.
If corn was thrown on the sand, it would turn into popcorn in an instant.
Some people were sitting lazily in the shade, drinking water in big mouthfuls.
In such terrible weather, no one was willing to continue their journey. On the contrary, it was more comfortable at night.
"Look over there, someone seems to be coming."
"How is that possible? Which lunatic would travel in this weather?"
The person who spoke quickly widened his eyes.
Not far away, the figure of a young man appeared on the sandy road.
There was a dog lying on the young man's shoulder. It was as if the heat had nothing to do with the dog. It didn't even stick out its tongue.
That youth, on the other hand, clearly had nothing on him except for a thin long robe. But when he walked, it was as if he was carrying a mountain. Every step he took, the ground would sink into a deep pit.
Even though it was soft sand, it wouldn't be that bad even if he was carrying a hundred kilograms of weight.
"Let's take a rest in front."
Ling Xiao finally heard his master's voice. He felt as if he had heard the sound of nature.
It was too terrifying.
He had to carry two thousand jin of things on his back, and he couldn't use too much of his True Essence. This method of traveling made him suffer unspeakably.
Fortunately, he had already built a good foundation when he was at the Martial Vein Realm and his body was as strong as a ferocious beast's. Otherwise, an ordinary person would have been unable to move.
"Bring me three jugs of water!"
Walking to a shady area, Ling Xiao shouted at the person who was buying water.
This was still the edge of the Dragon Submission Mountain Range, so there were still people living there.
"Water is here!"
When three jugs of water were brought over, Ling Xiao gulped down one jug of water and then poured the other jug of water over him from head to toe. The feeling was really great.
However, it was too extravagant.
At least, that was how it looked to others.
Because there was a shortage of water here, a jug of water was worth one tael of silver. Ordinary people would be heartbroken to buy a jug of water, so Ling Xiao was simply wasting it.
The third jug of water was left for the Yuan Venerate to enjoy.
After drinking a few mouthfuls, the Yuan Venerate jumped into the jug.
Ling Xiao simply forked out some more silver to buy the jug. Otherwise, the Yuan Venerate wouldn't be able to buy it.
"How do you feel, disciple?"
The Yuan Venerate asked through voice transmission instead of speaking directly. After all, there were many people here. While the martialists of the sects might not find it strange that a dog could talk, it was still very easy for ordinary people to gather around and watch.
"I can only say that the effects of this Array Refining Stone are too terrifying. After carrying it, I feel as if most of the True Origin Energy, spirit power, and other energies in my body have been cut off. Even the circulation of True Origin Energy at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm has become sluggish."
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Furthermore, it's really tiring to carry two thousand kilograms of things like this. A journey that originally took two hours now takes four hours. How long will it take to reach the depths of the Dragon Submission Mountain Range?"
"You are obviously quite smart, kid. Why haven't you figured it out yet? This is a form of cultivation. Just wait and see. After persevering for a month, I can guarantee that your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds," the Yuan Venerate said with a smile.
"If you want to improve your cultivation in a short period of time, you have to endure hardships. This is only the beginning."
"I'm not afraid of enduring hardships. Master, if you have any ideas, please let me know!"
Ling Xiao grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth.
He had endured a lot of hardships ever since he had become sensible, especially when he had been a beggar.
What was this little bit of hardships compared to the past? It was simply heaven.
"Let me know when you get used to the weight of a thousand kilograms. This weight can still be adjusted."
The Yuan Venerate suddenly reminded him.
"I understand."
Actually, Ling Xiao had made some new gains during this four-hour journey. The Golden Dragon Cells in his body had already awakened to 40, and he had gained another 10.
Ordinary martialists who reached the third-level of the Transcendent Realm basically had a strength in the range of 500 to 1,500 kilograms. The key was that different cultivation paths led to different amounts of strength.
However, Ling Xiao's current strength had already reached 6,000 kilograms, which was double the strength of the strongest ordinary martialist.
He hadn't told his master, the Yuan Venerate, about this, but the benefits of the Yuan Venerate's cultivation method had already manifested.
During his break, Ling Xiao ate the low-grade True Elemental Pills like they were beans.
This sort of thing, which was considered a precious treasure in the secular world, was something he could get easily.
He had been so happy when he had first obtained a low-grade True Elemental Pill from Master Baiyun.
Now, he could use it without hesitation.
