Waterfall Bone Refining

Although Yuan Jin didn't qualify to train in the Quenching Body Pool due to his injury, his cultivation progress wasn't slow. After Zeng Fan broke through to the Body Tempering Bone stage, Yuan Jin was also inching closer to Perfection in the Body Tempering Bone realm.

Zeng Fan knew Yuan Jin must have had his own opportunities and that some things were better left unasked. However, Yuan Jin himself had asked Zeng Fan to find time to go out with him after he broke through.

"I wonder when this kid will be back. I'll train for now." Zeng Fan had already left a note on Yuan Jin's door. Once Yuan Jin returned and saw the note, he would call him. Zeng Fan then settled his mind, seizing the time to absorb Spiritual Energy and temper his bones.

Just as Zeng Fan was deeply focused on his training, unaware of how much time had passed, Yuan Jin's voice rang out from outside the house, "Zeng Fan! I'm back!" Zeng Fan opened his eyes, a hint of a smile in them. This guy was still so boisterous. He got up and opened the door. Yuan Jin strode in, picked up the water kettle from the table, and gulped down its contents. Afterward, he let out a comfortable groan.

"Where did you go? You're in such a hurry," Zeng Fan asked Yuan Jin.

"Went to take care of some things. Are you free today? Then come with me later, I'll take you to that place." Yuan Jin spat out a piece of vegetable leaf and then picked at his teeth with his finger.

"Okay."

"Is this the place you were talking about?" Zeng Fan gazed at the scene before him with some shock. A stream of water cascaded down a brown cliff dozens of meters high, resembling a white flood dragon fiercely crashing into the pool below, emitting a continuous roar. At the point of impact, wisps of white steam rose, reflecting a colorful glow under the sunlight. It was a waterfall.

At the junction of the water flow and the ground below, several circular stone platforms were hidden in the mist. Several figures stood on the platforms, enduring the relentless impact of the water.

Zeng Fan knew that Yuan Jin's mention of accelerating Body Tempering Bone cultivation likely referred to this. It would just require some hardship.

"Are you saying we should use the impact of this waterfall's current to speed up the tempering of our Body Tempering Bones?" Zeng Fan turned to Yuan Jin, but found that Yuan Jin was already rustling as he took off his clothes.

"Yes, but it's more than that. Talking is less effective than doing. You'll know once you try it with me. I won't disappoint you. Remember to circulate your cultivation at full power, or you'll be back down as soon as you get up," Yuan Jin grinned at Zeng Fan and walked directly into the pool beneath the waterfall.

Zeng Fan knew Yuan Jin wouldn't harm him. He immediately stripped off his clothes and followed Yuan Jin. The pool water was slightly cold, but Zeng Fan didn't mind. To his surprise, the concentration of Spiritual Energy in this pool was higher than in ordinary places. Even without any special properties, cultivating by this pool would be very good.

Upon reaching the stone platforms, the fierce water flow continuously impacted them. The splashing water hitting Zeng Fan's body made him feel somewhat numb.

"How strong is the force on these platforms?" Zeng Fan marveled. He turned to see Yuan Jin already standing on a platform, his expression contorted as he gritted his teeth to resist the impact.

Zeng Fan circulated his Spiritual Energy, his entire cultivation raging. He then gritted his teeth and stepped onto the platform.

The moment he stepped onto the platform, a terrifying impact force pressed down from above. Zeng Fan's knees buckled instantly, almost forcing him to kneel on the platform. His Spiritual Energy surged out, and Zeng Fan slowly stood up, gritting his teeth. At this point, he had no time to observe others; his ears were completely drowned out by the sound of the water.

The water, carrying immense power, continuously struck Zeng Fan's body like heavy hammers. Zeng Fan frantically circulated his cultivation, his muscles tensing to resist the pressure.

Unfortunately, the effect wasn't great. "I can't hold on!" Zeng Fan, despite his best efforts, could only resist for a short while before being directly washed into the pool by the waterfall's current. He slowly surfaced, gasping for breath.

"This impact is hard to adapt to. It requires constant circulation of cultivation and coordinating all your muscles and strength. Sustained effort will definitely be beneficial. No wonder Yuan Jin's cultivation hasn't fallen behind much. It just requires enduring more hardship." Zeng Fan floated on the water, resting and thinking.

"Huh? That's not right!" As his body regained some strength, Zeng Fan actually felt a slight increase in the Spiritual Energy within his bones. After resisting the waterfall's impact, the Spiritual Energy contained within the waterfall could be directly absorbed into his body. Although the increase wasn't much, as long as one persisted long enough, the absorbed Spiritual Energy would be extremely considerable, and faster than directly absorbing Spiritual Energy.

Gritting his teeth, Zeng Fan walked towards the stone platform again. As long as it could accelerate his cultivation speed, he had to grit his teeth and endure the impact of the water. Stepping onto the platform again, the terrifying impact swept over him once more. Zeng Fan let out a low roar, then closed his eyes, resisting with all his might...

Night fell, and two figures lay on their backs by the pool, Zeng Fan and Yuan Jin. Both had cultivated desperately until they had not a shred of strength left before they were willing to come down from the stone platforms. The roar of the waterfall continued, as if it would never stop.

"How did you know about this place? I saw other disciples at the Body Tempering Bone stage cultivating nearby. It seems quite a few people know about it," Zeng Fan said lazily after regaining some strength. His entire body was sore.

"My cousin and a few fellow disciples discovered it when they were in the Body Tempering Realm. Later, they made an agreement. Since the space is limited, they could only tell their juniors," Yuan Jin replied, his voice also full of exhaustion.

"What's your cousin's cultivation level now? You've never mentioned him much," Zeng Fan asked curiously.

Yuan Jin was silent for a moment. "I'll tell you when the time is right."

Zeng Fan nodded and said no more. Gazing at the stars twinkling in the night sky, he felt a surge of excitement. After all, a day of cultivation here was equivalent to three days of normal training. As long as he persisted like this, breaking through to the next minor realm was within reach.

Zeng Fan sat up from the ground and looked at the waterfall before him. A thought suddenly struck him: what would happen if he practiced the Fish Dragon Dance under the waterfall's impact?
