The right to cultivate in the Spirit Cleansing Pond for a year was a reward bestowed by the Imperial Family of the Da Xia Kingdom to the top one thousand cultivators in the Seven Regions Dao Discussion.
It was with the help of the Spirit Cleansing Pond that he was able to advance from the Nascent Soul Initial Stage to the Nascent Soul Final Stage in a year.
The miraculous effects of the Spirit Cleansing Pond were evident.
However, when Senior Xia Yuan of the Da Xia Kingdom gave Lu Qingshan his reward, she had warned him that the Spirit Cleansing Pond was filled with spirit energy and was very beneficial for breaking through. She had advised him to only enter the Spirit Cleansing Pond when he reached a bottleneck.
Things like cultivation bottlenecks did not exist for Lu Qingshan.
However, he was not in a hurry.
This was because in the Nascent Soul Stage, the most important thing for cultivators was to increase their intent realm. Although increasing their cultivation base was not unimportant, it was still secondary.
Thus, he had not been in a hurry to cultivate in the Spirit Cleansing Pond.
Now, it seemed that the Spirit Cleansing Pond was just right for him.
He could use this rare opportunity to complete the reconstruction of his Dao foundation!
…
Xiaowan City.
This was an important city located in the central region of the Western Regions.
The city walls were as tall as mountains, and there were many pedestrians. The city was filled with the rough atmosphere unique to the Western Regions.
Lu Qingshan stepped out of the teleportation spell formation.
Qin Yitian had already found an opportunity to return to the Dragon Sparrow Sword, saving him a lot of teleportation fees.
Thrifty housekeeping was nothing more than that.
The Spirit Cleansing Pond was located in this important city.
This was a cultivation place that he had never had the opportunity to experience in his past life.
This was because the Spirit Cleansing Pond was a cultivation mystic realm of the Da Xia Kingdom. There was only one in each region, and there were three in Chang 'an City. There were only ten such ponds in the world.
Under normal circumstances, the Spirit Cleansing Pond was only open to the Imperial Family of the Da Xia Kingdom.
In order to create momentum for the Seven Regions Dao Discussion, the Da Xia Kingdom was willing to sacrifice a thousand spots.
The Spirit Cleansing Pond in Xiaowan City was located on a barren mountain within the city.
There was a unique mountain hidden within the city, and it could be considered a landmark of Xiaowan City.
However, this mountain was not barren at all. It was a thousand feet tall, and under the construction of the Da Xia Kingdom, it looked more like a giant building than a natural mountain.
There was a large array that enveloped the entire desolate peak.
Under the scorching sun, the formation seemed to be shining with a lustrous luster. There was even a smoke-like gas rising from it, flowing with brilliant colors.
From afar, one could see the wisps of smoke rising from the desolate peak.
Lu Qingshan arrived at the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the Desolate Peak, there was a large hall.
"Who are you?" A tall and thin male cultivator stood at the entrance of the main hall. He looked at Lu Qingshan and said, "This is a restricted area. Those who are not from the royal family of the Da Xia Kingdom are not allowed to come close."
The male cultivator was wearing the cultivator attire of the Da Xia Kingdom.
It was a long Daoist robe. The workmanship looked quite exquisite and luxurious, but it was not flashy.
This was because there were many Dao patterns engraved on the robe. These Dao patterns had various functions such as defense, meditation, spirit gathering, and so on.
The male cultivator who spoke had a very serious expression on his face. His eyes were like a hawk as he stared at Lu Qingshan.
"I'm here to enter the Spirit Cleansing Pool to cultivate." Lu Qingshan did not answer the male cultivator's interrogation directly. Instead, he took out a crystal card from his storage ring and handed it over.
The male cultivator quickly took the crystal card. After checking it with his Divine Sense, he returned the crystal card to Lu Qingshan.
However, when he looked at Lu Qingshan, there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.
A Qi Refinement cultivator can actually be allowed to enter the Spirit Cleansing Pool to cultivate?
Isn't this too extravagant?
Could it be that this kid in front of me is the illegitimate child of my lord?
It should be known that the cultivators who were allowed to enter the Spirit Cleansing Pool to cultivate usually had the cultivation of Golden Elixir.
A Qi Refinement cultivator, a male cultivator who had stayed in the Spirit Cleansing Pool of the Western Region for so long, was really the first time he saw one.
The tall and thin male cultivator had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but on the surface, he showed a good psychological quality. He said politely, "Come with me."
Under the lead of the tall and thin male cultivator, Lu Qingshan entered the main hall, and then went out from another door of the main hall. He followed the stone steps made of green-black boulders and went straight up the mountain.
On each boulder, there were some strange Dao patterns engraved on it.
Lu Qingshan did not study Dao patterns, but his knowledge and vision were still very outstanding.
He could recognize that these Dao patterns should be a combination of warning, defense, and spirit gathering.
Rumble rumble rumble!
A rumbling sound came from the top of the mountain.
Lu Qingshan's heart stirred slightly.
The tall and thin male cultivator still walked in front without saying a word.
As he got closer and closer to the top of the mountain, the rumbling sound became clearer and clearer, and even a little deafening.
Not long after, the source of the loud sound came into view.
It was a tall and majestic waterfall hanging from the top of the mountain. It was like the Milky Way in the sky, rushing down and pouring into the pool below, immediately stirring up a rainstorm of water.
After getting closer, Lu Qingshan realized that the waterfall was actually formed by the liquefaction of spirit energy!
The pool below was even more so.
A spirit energy waterfall and a pool of spirit liquid.
What a big deal!
No wonder the Da Xia Kingdom usually hid this Spirit Cleansing Pool and never opened it to outsiders.
The spirit energy waterfall was like a white flood dragon that was filled with endless power. When it fell from a high place into the pool below, it stirred up a turbulent splash of spirit liquid that seemed to be able to shatter one's bones.
Outside the spirit pool, there was a light shield formed by a layer of spiritual light.
This light shield was firstly to prevent people from forcefully breaking in, and secondly to prevent the leakage of spirit energy.
In front of the light shield, there was a small team of four cultivators guarding.
Three of them were Void Refinement realm cultivators.
The leader was a Soul Formation realm cultivator.
A Sixth Realm cultivator was responsible for guarding a pool?
This was enough to show how precious this Spirit Cleansing Pool was.
The tall and thin male cultivator took a step forward and said respectfully to the leader, "Your Excellency Ming Hou, this person is here to cultivate in the Spirit Cleansing Pool. He has a Spirit Cleansing Pool cultivation crystal token."
Lu Qingshan was very perceptive and offered the crystal token at the right time.
Ming Hou took the crystal token and nodded slightly. He didn't say anything and just flicked his finger at the light shield that covered the Spirit Cleansing Pool. The crystal token flew out and immediately flashed with a dazzling light and merged into the light shield.
Then, a stream of light flashed on the light shield.
Ming Hou looked at the reaction on the light shield and nodded to Lu Qingshan, saying, "It is indeed a cultivation crystal token. You can enter the Spirit Cleansing Pool to cultivate for a year."
Then, Ming Hou also fulfilled his duty and explained the specific situation to Lu Qingshan, "The Spirit Cleansing Pool is built with the help of a formation that absorbs spirit energy from high places and cooperates with the original special spirit vein.
In the spirit vein in the depths of the Spirit Cleansing Pool, an extremely pure spirit energy will be produced after a period of time. We call it origin energy.
The purity of origin energy is several times higher than spirit energy, so it is called origin energy. It is extremely beneficial for cultivators to cultivate and break through to the next realm.
The annual output of this origin energy is limited by the Spirit Cleansing Pool, so only the most outstanding disciples of the Da Xia Kingdom can enter the Spirit Cleansing Pool to cultivate. "
"Origin energy?" Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed when he heard this.
Before the Divine Transformation Stage, the energy that cultivators absorb and use is called spirit energy.
But after the Divine Transformation Stage, the spirit energy in the cultivator's body will undergo a transformation and evolve into origin energy that is several times purer and stronger.
Under normal circumstances, only Divine Transformation Stage cultivators can cultivate origin energy.
And in this Spirit Cleansing Pool, it actually contains origin energy that can be absorbed regardless of the level of cultivation. It is not surprising that the quota to cultivate in the Spirit Cleansing Pool is so precious.
"However," Ming Hou looked at Lu Qingshan with a smile that was not a smile, "this origin energy is mixed in with the incomparably huge spirit energy. If a cultivator wants to capture it and refine it, the difficulty is like a mortal catching a fish with his bare hands.
So generally, those who come to the Spirit Cleansing Pool to cultivate are at least Golden Elixir Daoist, and only then will they have a small chance to capture this slippery origin energy. "
Ming Hou felt that Lu Qingshan's practice of coming to the Spirit Cleansing Pool to cultivate as a Qi Refinement Stage cultivator was quite wasteful in his heart.
However, on the surface, he displayed extremely good self-restraint and did not say anything sarcastic. It was only now that he vaguely mentioned this matter in his words.
The meaning was quite simple.
"If you can't absorb one or two strands of origin energy, it is equivalent to wasting the opportunity to cultivate in the Spirit Cleansing Pool.
Because if there is no origin energy, this Spirit Cleansing Pool is actually a blessed place for cultivation with particularly rich spirit energy, and can't be said to be a mystic realm. "Ming Hou said.
"Senior, thank you for the reminder." Lu Qingshan did not mind and cupped his hands to thank him.
After mentioning it, Ming Hou did not say anything more, "If you want to start cultivating, then go in."
He waved his hand and on the light shield, a gap that allowed one person to pass through immediately appeared.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan did not hesitate and stepped forward.
As soon as he stepped into the light shield, the gap on the light shield quietly closed.
Incomparably rich spirit energy rippled from the Spirit Cleansing Pool and the waterfall, rushing towards his face.
The spirit energy was so rich that Lu Qingshan did not need to circulate his cultivation method to absorb it, and naturally poured into the pores of his body, causing Lu Qingshan to feel refreshed.
It didn't take long for the spiritual energy to drench his clothes.
"The closer you are to the waterfall, the denser the spirit energy is, and the more origin energy you gather," Ming Hou's voice came from outside the light shield, very serious. "However, just like what you are feeling now, the spirit energy in the Spirit Cleansing Pool is very unbridled and will automatically pour into your body.
And the closer you are to the waterfall, the more violent the spirit energy is.
If the spirit energy that enters your body exceeds the upper limit of what you can bear, your meridians will inevitably be torn, and even your life will be in danger.
So it is very important to act according to your ability. Don't let the cultivation mystic realm become a dangerous place because of greed. "
Hearing Ming Hou's advice, Lu Qingshan slightly restrained his emotions.
The tip of his foot tapped, and in the next moment, his figure had already jumped into the Spirit Cleansing Pool that was surging with spirit energy.
Lu Qingshan was very self-aware, and only cultivated at the edge of the Spirit Cleansing Pool.
The spirit energy surged, and the incomparably dense spirit energy condensed into a spirit energy wave that endlessly rolled in the Spirit Cleansing Pool. The momentum was like a flying wave hitting a rock.
Not far away, the momentum of the spirit energy waterfall crashing into the Spirit Cleansing Pool was like rolling thunder, deafening the apathetic.
"What dense spirit energy." Lu Qingshan muttered to himself, feeling the spirit energy that was somewhat excessive for him, who had just refined qi, endlessly pouring into his body.
Under the enormous spirit pressure, his skin gradually turned red.
.....
"As a qi refinement cultivator, he came to the Spirit Cleansing Pool to cultivate. Although he is very self-aware and did not rashly go deeper, it can be considered a very smart choice.
However, the origin energy is hidden in places where the spirit energy is dense. Cultivating like this, it is simply impossible for him to try to extract the origin energy. It is completely a waste of such a precious cultivation opportunity. " The tall and thin male cultivator who led Lu Qingshan here looked at Lu Qingshan meditating at the edge of the Spirit Cleansing Pool, and his eyes flashed with envy.
The origin energy in the Spirit Cleansing Pool, not to mention that it was extremely beneficial to him, even for Ming Hou, who was already at the divine transformation stage, it was quite precious.
Because ordinary divine transformation stage cultivators would need to spend one or two years of bitter cultivation to transform a trace of origin energy.
But in the Spirit Cleansing Pool, there was a chance to enjoy the fruits of others' labor, who would not be moved?
"A qi refinement cultivator is better than a void refinement cultivator.
That time, the Reincarnation King entered our western region's Spirit Cleansing Pool to cultivate with his void refinement cultivation. Relying on his powerful physique that could accommodate hundreds of rivers, he actually directly meditated at the core of the Spirit Cleansing Pool.
In a year's time, he extracted a total of twenty-one strands of origin energy from the Spirit Cleansing Pool. All the origin energy in the periphery of the Spirit Cleansing Pool was extracted, leaving only the core area that almost no one could enter.
With so much origin energy, the Spirit Cleansing Pool would probably take decades to accumulate.
We had no choice but to seal the Spirit Cleansing Pool for three years to recuperate. "Another void refinement cultivator guarding the Spirit Cleansing Pool, Jin Xing, couldn't help but whisper at the side.
"In recent decades, there have been no such monsters among the cultivators who came to the Spirit Cleansing Pool to cultivate.
The origin energy accumulated in our Spirit Cleansing Pool can be said to be abundant. Even if the Reincarnation King comes again, there is nothing to be afraid of. "Lian Gang, who had an extremely rough appearance, said casually.
He had been responsible for guarding this Spirit Cleansing Pool for hundreds of years.
"The Reincarnation King is nothing. If that prince comes, you will know what is terrifying.
Do you know how many strands of origin energy that prince absorbed when he entered the Spirit Cleansing Pool with his nascent soul cultivation? " The void refinement cultivator, Wu Zhenshan, who seemed to be quite well-informed, suddenly had a gossipy heart at this moment and said mysteriously.
"You mean the prince who is now in the sword sect?" Jin Xing raised his eyebrows.
Wu Zhenshan nodded.
"I heard that he seemed to have extracted seventy-two strands of origin energy at that time." The tall and thin male cultivator continued.
"How is that possible?" Jin Xing was in disbelief.
"Yes, the rumors are true." Wu Zhenshan nodded and said, "But as long as you think about the prince's current achievements, you will know that such an exaggerated performance at that time is nothing."
"Seventy-two strands of origin energy?!" Lian Gang exclaimed when he heard this. "There are no seventy-two strands of origin energy left in our Spirit Cleansing Pool, right?"
Ming Hou glanced at Lu Qingshan who was cultivating with his eyes closed at the edge of the Spirit Cleansing Pool and listened to the conversation of his colleagues. For the first time, he said, "There is, and it is definitely more than that."
After a pause, Ming Hou continued, "Because most of the origin energy is concentrated in the core area of the Spirit Cleansing Pool.
Ordinary cultivators are unable to enter the core area, let alone cultivate in it and extract origin energy.
After years of accumulation, the amount of origin energy in the core area of the Spirit Cleansing Pool has long exceeded a hundred strands. It is just that it can be seen but not eaten. "
"Sir Ming Hou, did the prince really extract seventy-two strands of origin energy from the Spirit Cleansing Pool with his Nascent Soul cultivation?" Lian Gang followed the topic and asked in a low voice.
He still found it hard to believe.
Because he had been guarding the Spirit Cleansing Pool for hundreds of years and had never seen a cultivator who could extract more than thirty strands of origin energy from the Spirit Cleansing Pool.
Seventy-two strands?
Supermodel, alright.
"No." Ming Hou shook his head.
Lian Gang exhaled lightly, as if relieved of a heavy burden.
Although the prince was known as the most talented cultivator in the Da Xia Kingdom's royal family.
Although he admired the prince's current achievements very much.
But no matter what, for a girl to be so exaggerated, it always made people feel ashamed of their inferiority. If there was less of a halo around her, he would feel inexplicably better.
"It is ninety-three strands." Ming Hou said calmly.
