Quenching Body Pool

The voice came, and the disciples who were talking immediately quieted down. Zeng Fan and the other two exchanged glances and returned to their respective teams.

According to their different realms, the elder leading the disciple hall divided the crowd into West teams. Wang Beichen was with Zeng Fan, while Murong Xue was in another team.

Wang Beichen winked at Zeng Fan. Each team had ten people, but the Body Tempering Muscle team had one extra person. The other nine people couldn't help but look at Wang Beichen, but Wang Beichen's expression remained unchanged, his gaze fixed on the elder.

"What are you looking at? Mind your own business!" The elder frowned slightly when he saw Wang Beichen looking at him, then reprimanded everyone.

As soon as the elder spoke, the others quickly withdrew their gazes, not daring to make any further moves.

"Hmph hmph~" Wang Beichen sneered disdainfully. These guys still don't know my identity, and they dare to look around so brazenly.

"You be good too, or I'll show you what happens!" The leading elder glared at Wang Beichen. Wang Beichen flinched and obediently followed behind Zeng Fan.

The elder nodded in satisfaction and gestured for everyone to follow.

They arrived outside a cave. The elder stopped. Outside the valley, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged. Seeing the elder arrive, he bowed in greeting. The elder nodded.

"Enter in batches according to the Body Tempering realm, from highest to lowest. The cultivation time is three days. You can walk out on your own when the time is up. Begin!" The elder waved his hand, signaling that they could enter.

After the first two batches entered, it was Zeng Fan's turn. Wang Beichen waved at Zeng Fan and directly entered the cave.

Zeng Fan exhaled lightly and then walked towards the cave. There was a layer of light screen floating at the entrance of the cave. Zeng Fan walked directly towards the light screen. A wave of dizziness washed over him, and Zeng Fan felt as if he were walking in water, with a strange sensation on his skin.

The dizziness ended, and Zeng Fan opened his eyes. A stone room appeared before him. The stone room was very simply decorated. In the center was a circular pool filled with green liquid, just large enough to accommodate one person. White mist was also floating above it.

"Where are the others? They must have used a spatial array. It's truly magical." Zeng Fan felt around. The walls of the stone room were indeed solid, not an illusion, which reminded him of the scene when he obtained the Pulse-Breaking Pill.

"Is this the Quenching Body Pool?" His curiosity satisfied, Zeng Fan walked to the pool. Only then did he sense that what was floating above the pool was not mist, but extremely condensed Spiritual Energy.

Zeng Fan tried to inhale a mouthful. As soon as the Spiritual Energy entered his body, it transformed into pure Spiritual Energy, nourishing his body. This result made Zeng Fan lick his lips, his eyes flashing with fervor.

"The Spiritual Energy above is already so effective, how amazing must the main attraction below be." As instructed by the elder earlier, Zeng Fan took off all his clothes and entered the Quenching Body Pool completely naked.

As soon as he entered the pool, the green liquid surged into his body the moment it touched Zeng Fan's skin. Zeng Fan, caught off guard, instantly turned red, with wisps of smoke curling from his face, a result of too much Spiritual Energy entering his body faster than he could absorb it.

Calming his mind, Zeng Fan immediately circulated his cultivation technique. A large amount of Spiritual Energy was converted into Spiritual Energy, which was then continuously absorbed by his body. It was as if his body was undergoing a grand feast, and Zeng Fan's cultivation fluctuations gradually increased with the continuous absorption of Spiritual Energy.

When the fluctuations on his body surface reached a certain critical point, Zeng Fan trembled and slowly opened his eyes. "I've broken through to Grand Perfection of Body Tempering Muscle!"

Zeng Fan glanced around the Quenching Body Pool. The green liquid had reduced by about one-third. "There's still so much left. Then I'll try to break through to Body Tempering Bone in one go!" A look of determination appeared in Zeng Fan's eyes. It was a rare and excellent opportunity, how could he not try!

He closed his eyes again, and the green liquid in the pool seemed to be summoned again, rushing into Zeng Fan's body. As time passed, the cultivation fluctuations that had stopped in the young man's body began to rise again...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Outside the cave, two figures, one large and one small, were looking around boredly.

"Sister Murong, how much longer do we have to wait? Why don't we leave first? Who knows how long he'll take. He's the only one left."

"Then you go first. I'll wait for him to come out. Perhaps he wants to break through directly to Body Tempering Bone, which is why it's taking so long. Anyway, today is the third day, he's bound to come out!"

It was Murong Xue and Wang Beichen. Wang Beichen's face looked pained upon hearing Murong Xue's words. For children their age, waiting was the most torturous thing. However, judging by their auras, both had clearly strengthened considerably since entering the cave, and should have gained significant rewards.

Wang Beichen was about to say something when suddenly, a figure slowly emerged with the fluctuations of the cave's light screen, drawing their attention. The figure passed through the light screen and was stunned to see the two of them staring at him. It was Zeng Fan, who had finished his cultivation.

"You two? Waiting for me?" Zeng Fan asked them, seeing Wang Beichen's excited expression.

"Yeah, Sister Murong said she was worried about you and wanted to wait here, so I could only come along," Wang Beichen said with a pained expression.

Murong Xue's face turned red upon hearing this, and she glared at Wang Beichen, coughing a few times. "Did you break through to Body Tempering Bone?"

Zeng Fan nodded with a smile, his eyes full of joy. His cultivation fluctuations were more than a level stronger than a few days ago. "Finally, I broke through at the last moment." Zeng Fan recalled the scene just now with a lingering sense of fear.

After breaking through to Grand Perfection of Body Tempering Muscle in the stone room, Zeng Fan decided to break through to Body Tempering Bone in one go. The Quenching Body Pool would automatically teleport people out when the three days were up.

Finally, as the three days were about to end, Zeng Fan successfully broke through. Before he could even stabilize his Spiritual Energy, he was teleported out.

Fortunately, he had already broken through, and it was fine to stabilize his cultivation slowly outside. However, Zeng Fan also noticed the fluctuations on Murong Xue and Wang Beichen.

"You two also broke through, right?" Zeng Fan asked with a smile.

Murong Xue smiled and nodded. "I broke through to Body Tempering Blood. This kid, like you, has also reached the realm of Body Tempering Bone. The Quenching Body Pool was originally prepared for disciples at the Perfection realm to break through. It's rare for someone like you to directly cross two small realms."

Zeng Fan understood that his breakthrough also involved some luck.

Murong Xue's eyes flickered. "Do you have any plans for the next few days? After your cultivation stabilizes, do you want to go down the mountain for a stroll?"

"Down the mountain?" Zeng Fan was stunned, then remembered something. "You mean those cities at the foot of the mountain?" The scene when he first entered the Five Mountains Sect flashed back in Zeng Fan's mind. Below the mountain where the disciples gathered were several cities, formed by the descendants of sect disciples and elders. Many of the transactions and entertainment between disciples usually took place in those cities. He hadn't had time to explore them since arriving at the sect.

Thinking of this, Zeng Fan smiled and nodded. "Sure, I'd like to see what it's like."

"Then call me after your cultivation stabilizes, and we'll go together!" Hearing Zeng Fan's answer, Murong Xue's eyes lit up instantly. Her slightly pursed lips involuntarily curved into a smile, revealing two small fangs. A flush of excitement appeared on her cheeks.

Having received Zeng Fan's affirmative reply, the young girl then left with light steps, followed by a little brat who was clamoring to go to the market together.

Zeng Fan also headed towards his residence, his only thought being to quickly return to cultivate and completely stabilize his cultivation. As for why he was so eager.

The initial bloom of tenderness, yet unstained by passion, Two hearts like jade, sharing pure joy.
