Jane Doe
The pain one had to endure in order to cultivate the Life Hardening Scripture was far beyond what an ordinary person could endure. It was as if every piece of flesh had been torn apart and every piece of bone had been shattered. Towards the end of the cultivation, Chu Xingyun had completely lost his consciousness and was only relying on his instincts to support himself.
Actually, Chu Xingyun didn't have to risk his life like this.
With his lifeblood essence, he could soak his body in the blood pool and wait for his body to fully recover before continuing to cultivate. This cycle would reduce the pain.
However, Chu Xingyun did not do so. He had almost reached the end of his life before he dragged his battered body into the blood pool.
In his opinion, a person could only unleash all of their potential at the moment of death. Since he had the nourishment of his life essence blood, he naturally had to unleash his potential time and time again to surpass his limits.
Compared to this, this little pain was nothing!
The next day, Chu Xingyun woke up from his sleep.
He discovered to his surprise that his body that was originally riddled with scars and holes had completely recovered under the nourishment of the blood pool. There wasn't a trace of a scar, and it even revealed a fine jade-like texture.
Chu Xingyun hurriedly walked out of the blood pool, took a deep breath, and punched forward.
Puff!
Chu Xing Yun's eyes lit up. The speed of his punches had increased by 20%. His movements were filled with a sense of freedom that he hadn't felt in a long time.
"As expected of the number one Body Tempering Technique in the world. I've only practiced it for one night and I've already improved so much!" Chu Xingyun withdrew his fist and was extremely satisfied with his current state.
Of course, the reason Chu Xingyun was able to improve so quickly was not only because of his crazy cultivation, but also because of his blood essence.
Not only did it replenish Chu Xingyun's depleted life force, it also nourished every piece of flesh and bone in his body, causing his life force to become tougher and stronger.
This wasn't a process of replenishing one's energy. Instead, during this period of replenishment, one's life force would continue to increase.
In such a situation, perhaps only Chu Xingyun could do it. Ordinary people did not have the blood essence of the True Fire Phoenix, nor did they have Chu Xingyun's terrifying will. Neither of these could be missing.
Walking out of the room, Chu Xingyun saw Yan Du and the others tidying up their things.
Ever since Chu Xingyun had been recruited into the Soaring Heaven Martial House, many people had sent congratulatory gifts to him one after another. Even the Heishui City's Castellan had personally paid him a visit.
There was no other reason other than the fact that Chu Xingyun had become a core disciple as soon as he entered the Soaring Heaven Martial House. Everyone believed that he would become a great talent in the future, so they all wanted to befriend him in advance.
"Master." When Yan Du saw Chu Xingyun, he hurriedly put down the gift in his hand and bowed.
"After you've sorted everything out, we'll immediately set off for West Wind City," Chu Xingyun instructed, and just as he was about to turn around, his gaze fell upon a jade bottle on the table.
Inside the jade bottle was a blue liquid that emitted a faint fragrance.
Yan Du hurriedly explained, "Behind Black Water City is the Iron Blue Mountain Range. There's a spring at the bottom of the mountain range called the Profound Blue Spring. This is the spring water from the Profound Blue Spring."
"Profound Blue Spring!" When Chu Xingyun heard these three words, a dusty memory suddenly emerged from the depths of his heart.
He looked at Yan Du and said, "Take me to the Profound Blue Spring."
Although Yan Du didn't know what Chu Xingyun wanted to do, he didn't ask and led Chu Xingyun towards the Iron Blue Mountain Range.
Accompanying them were Gu Qing Shan and Yang Feng.
They were both worried about Chu Xingyun's safety, so if they went together, they would be able to look after each other.
Soon, Chu Xingyun's group found the Profound Blue Spring.
Although it was called a spring, it was more accurate to call it a small lake. From afar, it looked like a sapphire embedded in the ground, reflecting the sunlight and sparkling brilliantly.
Chu Xingyun looked around as if he was looking for something.
In the end, he laughed self-deprecatingly and muttered, "Looks like I was thinking too much. How could a woman like her live in the remote Liuyun Dynasty?"
Yan Du and the other two looked at each other, confused. They didn't know what Chu Xingyun meant.
"The three of you wait for me in the forest. I want to be alone for a while." Chu Xingyun's tone was very calm.
The three nodded and retreated to the forest behind them. This place was very close to the Profound Blue Spring. If anything happened, they could immediately help.
Staring at the blue spring in front of him, Chu Xingyun felt a little depressed.
He clearly remembered that when he left the Northern Wilderness, he was chased down by his enemies and was blasted off a ten-thousand-foot cliff.
At that time, Chu Xingyun thought that he was dead for sure. When he woke up, he found himself in a hidden cave with bandages all over his body.
It turned out that when he fell off the cliff, he didn't die immediately. A woman passing by found him and brought him to the cave to treat his injuries.
Under the woman's meticulous care, Chu Xingyun recovered very quickly. During this period, Chu Xingyun asked the woman's name many times, but the woman didn't tell him honestly. She said that she was just a villager living nearby and that her name wasn't worth mentioning.
Chu Xingyun knew that the woman was deliberately hiding it.
The woman was young, about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, but her cultivation was especially terrifying. She had stepped into the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and her Wu Ling was extremely powerful, reaching the seventh grade.
With such talent, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was shocking. How could she be a small villager living nearby?
However, the woman wasn't willing to tell him, and Chu Xingyun didn't ask too much. He didn't know anything about her. He only knew that the woman had once murmured the three words "Black Blue Spring" in her sleep many times.
The two of them spent more than half a month together, and Chu Xingyun finally recovered. Just as they were about to leave, they didn't expect that their enemies would come again, and they even thought that the woman was Chu Xingyun's companion.
After a series of battles, Chu Xingyun finally managed to kill all of his enemies. However, that woman had also died on the spot due to her injuries being too serious.
Chu Xingyun looked at the woman's corpse and stood there for two days and two nights, feeling very uncomfortable.
He felt that he had implicated this kind woman. She could have left by herself and avoided this calamity, but she chose to stay and fight by his side without hesitation.
The most ironic thing was that Chu Xingyun didn't even know the woman's name, and he couldn't find out where she came from.
This was already a matter from a thousand years ago, and it was sealed in the deepest part of Chu Xingyun's heart.
It was only when Yan Du mentioned the Black Blue Spring that he suddenly remembered.
"I didn't know that woman, but she was willing to save me and help me stop my enemies. Such a kind person is extremely rare in this world where the strong prey on the weak."
Chu Xingyun sighed and said in a low voice, "Luo Nu watches from the sidelines as the spring rises and falls, the wind hangs in the sky as the leaves fly."
Chu Xingyun had heard the woman recite these two lines before, and he had always remembered them clearly. He suddenly realized that the scene described in the poem was actually somewhat similar to the one in front of him.
"How do you know these two lines?"
