Now, Huo Hai finally understood how the Snow Jade Ice Orchid worked. He also understood why it could help people break through without bringing even the slightest negative effect.
The Snow Jade Ice Orchid's special power was itself a kind of catalyst, much like the fragrance it emitted. This catalyst could speed up cultivation, but only speed it up; it did not apply any external force.
All the power gained through cultivation still came from one's own cultivation. How could cultivating oneself possibly bring side effects? There had been no movement before because this power was permeating the spiritual power throughout his body. When it took effect, it came like a rising tide. Huo Hai could clearly sense a force within his body that did not belong to him.
This force was like a flowing spring, refreshing the heart and soul. It was utterly incompatible with his own spiritual power, yet closely connected to it. It was not spiritual power itself, yet it could mobilize spiritual power and draw in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
The instant the force took effect, Huo Hai's Spirit Veins were protected by this special power. Then, driven by that power, his own spiritual power began circulating faster and faster, far beyond anything it could achieve normally.
This speed was probably dozens of times faster than usual, and it was still increasing without end. If not for the force protecting his Spirit Veins, such high-speed spiritual power would have torn them apart long ago.
Even so, Huo Hai still felt an immense pressure bearing down on his Spirit Veins. Under that pressure, he could feel them faintly aching. Without realizing it, his Spirit Veins seemed to be slowly expanding and gradually becoming tougher. Though painful, Huo Hai was immensely delighted at this moment.
