Taking the Mystic Water Pill, Electrolux Awakens

Su Ming walked while counting the heaven-defying effects of the Mystic Water Pill in his heart; the core function of this pill was to cleanse the marrow, purge impurities, and strengthen the body.

It could not only thoroughly clear away the cultivation impurities accumulated within the body but also significantly widen the meridians and improve one's cultivation constitution, allowing for a qualitative leap in the body's capacity to bear soul power.

Furthermore, it could directly accelerate subsequent cultivation speed; for a soul master, every single pill was a treasure that could be sought but never found.

He had once heard that when Bei Bei obtained a Mystic Water Pill from Xu Sanshi and gave it to Huo Yuhao to consume, the effects were practically instantaneous.

Huo Yuhao's soul power surged directly from level 10 to the peak of level 12, the impurities in his body were cleansed completely, his meridians were widened several times over, and his subsequent path of cultivation became incomparably smooth, with a speed far exceeding what it had been before.

Thinking of this, Su Ming's anticipation grew even stronger, and the speed of his footsteps quickened unconsciously.

He only wanted to return to his quiet dormitory as soon as possible, cut off all outside interference, and devote himself entirely to the absorption of the Mystic Water Pill.

With the medicinal power of these three pills, he would improve his constitution, boost his soul power, and lay a more solid foundation for his future path as a soul master.

He rushed to the dormitory entrance in a flurry, saw Mu En tidying up the area, greeted him, and went straight upstairs.

Opening the dormitory door, he found that neither Bei Bei nor Xu Sanshi were there, and the urge he originally felt to show off dimmed slightly.

After rushing into the bathroom to fetch some water, he sat cross-legged directly on his bed.

He raised his hand and took a Mystic Water Pill from his Soul Tool pocket; the pill was a warm, watery blue, its surface wreathed in faint spiritual energy, and it felt cool and comfortable to the touch.

Without the slightest hesitation, he placed the pill into his mouth; the moment it entered, it transformed into a cool, warm current that slid down his throat into his body, instantly spreading to his four limbs and hundreds of bones.

He immediately focused his mind, running his cultivation technique at full power to guide the gentle yet majestic medicinal force of the Mystic Water Pill as it traveled through his body.

Before long, the medicinal power dispersed completely, and waves of pure water-attribute energy continuously scoured his meridians.

The minute impurities originally hidden in his meridians and flesh were rapidly shed under the repeated washing of the medicinal power, slowly expelled through his pores until his skin was covered in a layer of gray-black, viscous filth, and a faint, foul odor of impurities emanated from his body.

At the same time, the effects of cleansing the marrow became fully apparent; Su Ming could clearly feel his original meridians being widened and tempered bit by bit, becoming tougher and broader, while his physical foundation was continuously strengthened by the nourishment of the medicine, completely compensating for his previous physical shortcomings.

The soul power within his dantian felt as if it had been injected with living water, surging rapidly; his soul power level climbed steadily, and the fluctuations of soul power around him became increasingly thick, far exceeding the past.

Su Ming calmed his heart, continuously guiding the residual medicinal power to integrate into his flesh and dantian, thoroughly digesting every benefit of the Mystic Water Pill.

He did not know how much time had passed, but when the medicinal power in his body was completely absorbed, he slowly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance passing through them, and his body was surrounded by a faint, refreshing spiritual aura.

He felt incomparably light, as if he had cast off heavy shackles, and his entire temperament had become increasingly clear and transparent.

He stood up and felt the changes within; his soul power had been greatly improved, and the speed of his soul power circulation had increased several times over after his meridians were widened.

His physical strength had also significantly increased, and his subsequent cultivation speed had taken a qualitative leap; a satisfied smile curled the corners of Su Ming's lips.

The improvement brought by these three Mystic Water Pills was even more astonishing than he had anticipated; reaching the peak of level 42 would undoubtedly build the most solid foundation for his upcoming path of Douluo cultivation.

Su Ming stretched his muscles and bones, smelled the stench on his body, and subconsciously clicked his tongue.

He immediately ran to the bathroom to take a bath, and after confirming there was no strange odor on his hands, Su Ming sat back on the bed, preparing to cultivate for a while longer.

At this moment, the voice of Electrolux sounded in his mind, "Little one, you have quite good strength for such a young age. I saw your battle with that little girl earlier. I am curious, where did you learn your sealing technique?"

This voice was steady yet permeated with the vicissitudes of ages, something no ordinary soul master in this world could possess; Su Ming's heart suddenly tightened, and he instantly identified the speaker's identity.

He immediately suppressed the surging soul power in his body, cast aside distracting thoughts, and sank his consciousness to enter his own sea of spirit.

At this moment, the sea of spirit was no longer as calm and clear as it had been in the past; the spiritual power, which had been slightly hollowed out by the earlier battle, was slowly calming down along with the appearance of that voice.

In the void, a gray mass of light and shadow slowly condensed into shape; that light and shadow looked weak and dim, as if it would dissipate with a single gust of wind.

Yet, within it lay endless deathly stillness and desolation, as if it held all the cycles of life and death in the world, exuding a profound power that made the soul tremble.

The light and shadow gradually became clear, outlining the vague figure of an old man; he wore a tattered gray robe, the hem of which was covered in the traces of erosion by time.

His body was surrounded by a thick, lingering aura of the undead; that aura was cold and deathly, yet it contained no evil, instead revealing a kind of indifference that had seen through the ways of the world.

The old man's figure was illusory, save for a pair of eyes that, within the gray light, revealed a depth and calmness that saw through everything.

Su Ming raised his eyes to look at this figure, his thoughts racing; he naturally knew that the sealing technique Electrolux asked about was a secret he must never reveal.

He remained calm and composed, pretending to look bewildered, and took the initiative to break the silence, his tone carrying just the right amount of respect: "Elder, you are awake."

Who was Electrolux? He was once the Holy Necromancer who traversed the continent and shook the heavens; the geniuses, powerhouses, and treacherous hearts he had seen in his life were far more than what Su Ming had experienced or the food he had eaten.

The slight, imperceptible evasion in the depths of Su Ming's eyes, and his little attempt to deliberately change the subject, could not be hidden from him at all; with just one glance, he saw through the boy's thoughts.

If it were someone else, such deliberate concealment might have caused him displeasure, but as he gazed at the boy before him, he could clearly perceive that the aura of righteousness surrounding Su Ming was extremely rich, his eyes were clear and transparent, and his soul was pure and clean.

Even if he harbored secrets, he always kept righteous thoughts in his heart and held no malice or sinister intentions toward him.

Moreover, he was now but a wisp of a remnant soul, drifting in the world for ten thousand years; had he not been attracted by the aura of the Gold of Life contained within Su Ming's body and attached himself to his sea of spirit, he would likely have dissipated between heaven and earth long ago. In a sense, this boy before him could be considered his savior.

Everyone had secrets of their own; having experienced life, death, and betrayal, he had long since seen through such things and naturally did not wish to expose the boy's cover and add to the awkwardness.

After a moment of silence, Electrolux's cloudy eyes closed slightly, then slowly opened again, his voice remaining calm and waveless.

Yet, it carried a sense of desolation and majesty that looked down upon the world, slowly emanating from the light and shadow: "I am Electrolux."
