Due to the addition of the giant medicine packet, the hot spring water turned blood-colored. After that, the steam that permeated out was also dark red, like a blood mist. It was quite terrifying.
"Eh? You want to break through? "
Gu Xiuxun frowned. Things like breaking through had to be accumulated over a long period of time. Only when the quantity caused a qualitative change would one be able to achieve it. It wasn't something you could break through just because you wanted to.
Naturally, there was an exception. That was to consume alchemy pills and use the medicinal potency to aid in breaking through. However, doing so would cause hidden dangers.
Medicine was 30% poisonous. Although cultivators did this and broke through, there would be some medicinal dregs left in their bodies. This would affect their future breakthroughs.
If it wasn't for the fact that they encountered a bottleneck and couldn't endure it any longer, they would absolutely not consume medicine.
Gu Xiuxun pursed her lips and had a heavy expression. She destroyed the other hand of the giant. This giant was extremely weak, and Ying Baiwu and Li Ziqi could handle it. The masochist's expression was solemn because she saw that Sun Mo had clearly swallowed something unknown.
It was too late to persuade him now.
BOOM!
After the starmoon fruit entered his stomach, the essence that had been accumulated for several hundred years suddenly erupted, surging unceasingly in Sun Mo's body like rivers and lakes.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A layer of sweat instantly appeared on Sun Mo's body, but it instantly evaporated, mixing together with the blood-colored steam.
"Don't absorb the spirit qi!"
Li Ziqi's tone was solemn. She knew that Ying Baiwu worshipped Sun Mo and Lu Zhiruo was his crazy fan. Hence, she definitely wouldn't absorb the spirit qi when he was breaking through. However, Gu Xiuxun wasn't so sure.
After all, the spirit qi was of great help to her. If she did it a few more times, not only would her physique grow stronger, but her speed of breaking through would also shorten.
After hearing this, Gu Xiuxun rolled her eyes. (Do I look like such a selfish person?)
Leaving aside the fact that Sun Mo was of great help to her, even if he didn't help her, given her pride and self-esteem, she wouldn't absorb the spirit qi that belonged to Sun Mo at this moment.
Gu Xiuxun kept on hammering the giant, causing it to explode and transform into spirit qi while observing Li Ziqi and the other two. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly, and all of them had already gone ashore. They were observing Sun Mo while staring at her.
From the looks of it, it was as if the moment he absorbed the spiritual energy, it was ready to attack him.
Tsk, Sun Mo's luck was really good. These three girls had truly given their hearts to him. One must know that he was very famous and was destined to become a great teacher in the future. However, Li Ziqi and the other two didn't care at all.
"I also want such a loyal student!"
Gu Xiuxun sighed ruefully.
The blood-colored steam condensed, turning into a crescent moon and a bright star that revolved around Sun Mo.
"This … this is the effect of eating the Starmoon Fruit, right?"
Gu Xiuxun was stunned. After that, she was enlightened. So, Sun Mo had eaten a nature fruit and not an alchemy pill. This explained why he was so calm.
Because the Nature Fruit was nurtured by the Heaven and Earth's Spiritual Energy, there were no side effects after eating it. Therefore, cultivators could eat it as they pleased.
The masochist silently sniffed. There was a faint fragrance of fruits drifting in the air.
"Comparing oneself to others is really infuriating!"
Gu Xiuxun felt depressed.
The starmoon force contained in the Starmoon Fruit was the most perfect tonic for cultivators at the blood-ignition realm. However, this Darkness Fruit was very rare and basically, there was no market for it.
Gu Xiuxun was a genius and had adventured in the Darkness Continent many times. Up until now, she had never tasted defeat and would be able to obtain quite a lot of battle spoils each time. However, up until now, she hadn't even seen the shadow of a Starmoon Fruit.
Her cultivation base was something that she had climbed up step by step, through sweat and even blood. However, Sun Mo had leveled up just by eating a fruit.
"I wonder what the Starmoon Fruit tastes like?"
Gu Xiuxun looked at Sun Mo's lips and involuntarily stuck out her tongue, licking her lips.
Li Ziqi, who had been secretly observing Gu Xiuxun, couldn't help but be speechless when she saw this scene. (Teacher Gu, so you are also a glutton.)
As for the envious expression on her face, it was understandable. However, if she were to tell her that this was the second Starmoon Fruit her teacher had eaten, would she die of envy?
In truth, this was already the third Starmoon Fruit Sun Mo had eaten. However, only the papaya girl was present when he was trying to break through to the third level of the blood-ignition realm. The little sunny egg didn't know about this.
The effects of the Starmoon Fruit were very strong, and the reward given by the system was indeed the most perfect. Such a Starmoon Fruit was definitely over 1,000 years old.
After Sun Mo ate it, he didn't even need to use the spirit qi from the spring water giant. He directly used the purest starmoon force to temper his body.
Three minutes later, the spirit qi on Sun Mo's body erupted!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The blood-colored spirit qi scattered and radiated in all directions, bringing along the spring water. It was like the tides of the Qiantang River, slamming onto Gu Xiuxun and the other three.
Hu ~
Sun Mo let out a turbid breath.
The fourth level of the blood-ignition realm was completed perfectly.
"Teacher Sun, congratulations on leveling up!"
Gu Xiuxun congratulated him.
"Thank you!"
Sun Mo stood up. He felt a layer of dirt and sweat on his body. Hence, he jumped into the hot spring and took a bath.
"Teacher, congratulations!"
The little sunny egg was all smiles. The stronger her teacher was, the happier she would be.
"Don't be in a daze. Quickly absorb the spirit qi here."
Sun Mo urged. When he noticed that the four girls left the spirit qi for him and didn't absorb it, he felt a little touched.
"Oh!"
Ying Baiwu didn't stand on ceremony. She hurriedly sat down and started to circulate the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art with all her might.
Li Ziqi immediately got rid of all distracting thoughts and entered a meditative state. As for the papaya girl, her heart was in a mess and she would occasionally glance at the starry sky.
Such a beautiful scenery, she should look at it more often.
However, although the papaya girl wasn't very focused on cultivation, the moment she started to circulate the cultivation art, the spirit qi would gush forth like the tides. There was basically no way for her to control it.
"..."
When Gu Xiuxun saw the terrifying amount of spirit qi absorbed by the three girls, a cursing appeared in her heart. (Do they have to be so geniuses?)
This caused the masochist to not dare to meditate anymore. If not, wouldn't it be very embarrassing if the amount of spirit qi absorbed was inferior to the students?
"Teacher Sun, although the Starmoon Fruit is a nature fruit and there won't be any side effects to the body after eating it, ordinary cultivation not only strengthens the body, but it also tempers one's will. The cultivation path of any cultivator isn't always smooth sailing. They're destined to encounter bottlenecks..."
Gu Xiuxun looked at Sun Mo and spoke in a sincere tone. She knew that given Sun Mo's intelligence, he would understand her meaning.
It was easy to break through now, but without the experience of relying on one's own strength to break through bottlenecks, when one's cultivation base was higher, they might die if they encountered such a situation.
Bluntly speaking, it was because one's experience and will were too weak. Moreover, Sun Mo couldn't possibly be so lucky that he would be able to find nature fruits to break through bottlenecks every time, right?
"Many thanks for Teacher Gu's kind intentions."
Sun Mo had also thought of this problem before. However, with the Starmoon Fruit in his hands, why was there a need to think so much? He would eat it first to level up.
"Mn!"
Everyone was smart. Hence, Gu Xiuxun didn't say much and left the hot spring.
"Eh? Teacher Gu isn't absorbing the spirit qi? "
Sun Mo was surprised.
"I'm already very satisfied to be able to receive a massage from the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands. You should leave the spirit qi for your three beloved disciples!"
Gu Xiuxun smiled.
Sun Mo started. After that, he looked at Gu Xiuxun with admiration in his eyes. "Teacher Gu, if you don't mind, can you accept me as your friend?"
The masochist had only said a single sentence, but it caused Sun Mo to praise her character greatly.
"Eh? I thought we were already friends? "
Gu Xiuxun's EQ was very high. Not only was her expression cute, but she also resolved Sun Mo's question, causing Sun Mo to have a good impression of her.
If Gu Xiuxun said 'sure', it would make Sun Mo seem inferior and a bootlicker. After all, how could one beg to be friends?
A radiant smile appeared on Sun Mo's lips. Gu Xiuxun was beautiful, had a good personality, and was overflowing with talent. Such a girl was definitely top-grade.
"Should I chase after her?"
Sun Mo felt a little moved. His gaze involuntarily slid toward the masochist's two long legs.
Although she was already wearing her teacher attire, Gu Xiuxun still felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Sun Mo like this. She subconsciously tightened her collar.
"Cough, cough!"
Gu Xiuxun coughed twice. (You are a man with a fiancee. What do you mean by looking at me like this?)
(If you want to cheat, there's no need for Sister An to act. I'll beat you to death first. Alright, on account that we are friends, I'll just beat you half to death.)
The blood-colored steam gradually dissipated. The density of the spirit qi gradually returned to normal.
Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo had already ended their meditation, but Ying Baiwu was still cultivating. She was a little money-grubber and wasn't willing to waste even a bit of spirit qi.
"Teacher Sun, you have to let her understand that no matter what, she has to know when to stop."
Gu Xiuxun reminded.
The masochist looked at Ying Baiwu. Other than admiration, she also felt a little worried. Ying Baiwu was very hardworking, but she was too hardworking.
"Baiwu!"
Sun Mo spoke.
The iron-headed girl opened her eyes and looked at the drifting blood-colored spirit qi. Although she felt that it was a waste, she didn't continue cultivating. She stood up instead. "Teacher, do you have any instructions?"
"Baiwu, I know that your past life of poverty has caused you to develop a thrifty personality. But things are different now. You should learn to let it go and let it go!"
Sun Mo looked into Ying Baiwu's eyes. "Money isn't as important as you think it is. Also, you shouldn't risk injuring your body to absorb all of this spirit qi in order to not waste it."
Ying Baiwu fell silent. She understood her teacher's meaning, but she still couldn't bear to do so.
"Right now, it's just money and spirit qi. What if you adventure in the Darkness Continent in the future and encounter top-grade battle spoils? Are you going to risk your life to vie for them? "
Sun Mo asked.
"That's for sure!"
Ying Baiwu looked at Sun Mo in puzzlement. Was there still a doubt?
"You're wrong. Humans only have a future if they are alive!"
Sun Mo shook his head.
Ying Baiwu sank into contemplation.
"Knowing when to give up is also a kind of growth!"
Gu Xiuxun couldn't help but add. She truly admired Ying Baiwu and didn't wish to see her ruined because of her personality.
"How about I tell you a story?"
Sun Mo smiled.
The papaya girl immediately knelt at the side. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Sun Mo.
Sun Mo gathered his emotions and just when he was about to speak, the system notification rang out at an untimely time.
Ding!
(Congratulations.)
