Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body

The mountains were green, and one could vaguely see a lake. The lake was shimmering, reflecting the shadows of the surrounding trees. It was as if the transparent jade was embedded in the dense forest. The sound of the water flowing through the mountain stream was like the crisp sound of jade.

This was not the most important thing. The rich spiritual energy in the lake was almost solid, condensing into transparent water droplets that hung on the moss-covered rocks nearby.

Xie Daofeng brought Gu Xi here and introduced, “This is the ten-thousand-year-old Jade Pool of the Heavy Sword Peak.”

Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Gu Xi was extremely moved. He secretly sized up Xie Daofeng’s expression. At this moment, he was amiable. If this old man knew that he was thinking about taking the ten-thousand-year-old Jade Pool, he did not know if the old man’s expression would instantly change. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Just as he was thinking about how he could take this Jade Pool for himself, he heard Xie Daofeng say, “Today, it seems that you and I hit it off at first sight. We are quite fated, so I will give half of the ten-thousand-year-old Jade Pool to you.”

Xie Daofeng was not a stingy person. The ten-thousand-year-old Jade Pool was open to the public. All the disciples of the Heavy Sword Peak could come here to have their tendons and marrow cleansed. The first dip was quite effective, but it would not be effective if the number of times was too many.

However, the water in the pool pierced through one’s bones, and it requires one’s entire body to be soaked in it, only those who practiced the way of the sword or those with a strong will could bear it. Therefore, it was not suitable for the disciples of other peaks.

Nowadays, even most of the disciples of the Heavy Sword Peak rarely came to this place, and the ten-thousand-year-old Jade Pool was almost idle.

Gu Xi looked surprised, “Elder Xie is really willing to give it to me?”

Even if it was only half of the Jade Pool, it was still a big deal. He was cracking his head about how to ask for it, but it just fell into his lap.

Xie Daofeng stroked his beard and smiled, “Of course.”

Leng Yun, who was beside him, showed an incredulous look. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was stopped by Xie Daofeng.

“I’ve made up my mind. There’s no need to say anything else. Anyway, this Jade Pool is no longer of much use in the mountain peak.”

Gu Xi did not expect this trip to be unexpectedly smooth. It felt a little unrealistic. However, Xie Daofeng’s expression was not fake. “Thank you for the gift, Elder Xie.”

“You have to cultivate well. Don’t let down my painstaking efforts.”

After sending Gu Xi away, Leng Yun was very puzzled, “Why did master give this ten-thousand-year-old Jade Pool to him? Even if he was the Sect Leader’s disciple, you don’t have to do this. That Jade Pool is a supreme treasure.”

In Leng Yun’s eyes, the Heavy Sword Peak did not need to curry favor with anyone. Instead, it was others who wanted to curry favor with them. Moreover, Xie Daofeng was the Peak Master. Even the Clan Leader Shen Tianyi usually treated him with respect, so why did he need to treat Gu Xi differently?

Xie Daofeng narrowed his eyes and his gaze landed on the Sword Stone not far away. There was a profound look in his eyes that Leng Yun could not understand. “You don’t understand.”

Just now, he had seen with his own eyes that the Sword Stone actually had a reaction towards Gu Xi. After so many years, there were many talented people like Leng Yun who had also had an epiphany.

However, no one had ever caused such a phenomenon to happen to the Sword Stone. Even if it was just a flash in the pan, Xie Daofeng had no choice but to pay more attention to Gu Xi.

Leng Yun followed Xie Daofeng’s gaze and looked over. “Could it be because this kid had just had an epiphany?”

Logically speaking, it should not have happened. After all, there were many people who had had epiphanies in the past. Moreover, no one had caught Xie Daofeng’s attention like this.

Xie Daofeng kept it a secret and did not elaborate to Leng Yun. “You’ll find out in the future.”

Leng Yun was even more confused after hearing this. He said unwillingly, “Even so, why did Master stop me in the competition just now? I could have won.”

Due to Xie Daofeng’s intervention in the previous battle, there was no winner or loser, which made Leng Yun feel a little regretful.

However, Xie Daofeng laughed out loud. “Don’t be impatient, it’s not the time yet.”

“But–”

Leng Yun wanted to say something else, but Xie Daofeng’s figure disappeared like a gust of wind, leaving behind an illusory voice.

“You’ll have another chance to compete in the future, but not now. Before that, you’d better cultivate well.”

Hearing this, Leng Yun felt a chill run down his spine. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the Frost Sword in his hand, and the temperature around him had dropped significantly. “Master, do you mean that I can’t beat this Gu Xi?”

...

Gu Xi, who had already walked far away, could not help but sneeze. Someone must have been talking behind his back. He felt a little strange. This trip to Heavy Sword Peak had gone too smoothly.

Perhaps it was really as Xie Daofeng had said?

“Where should I go next to get free stuff...”

Gu Xi’s gaze shifted. The hundred-year-old Silver Orchid of the Cangyan Peak, the Black Iron Crystal Stone of the Lingxiao Peak, the top-grade spirit bein of the Heaven Peak, the Jade Nectar of the Yuhua Peak, and so on.

Almost every capable mountain peak had been plundered by him. When he returned to Sanqing Peak, it could be said to be a great harvest. Other than these spirit plants, spirit pools, and objects filled with spiritual energy, he had also plundered quite a number of pills, arrays, and other things.

The Peak Masters of each peak had suffered. However, Gu Xi also knew his limits. After all, he was a man who had a way of life. In the future, if he walked the path of sustainable and circular development, he might become strong enough to plunder more of other people’s treasures.

He wondered if the Peak Masters of these peaks would be so angry that they would pass out if they knew that Gu Xi was thinking this way.

After Gu Xi had settled down the thousand-year-old Pine, the ten-thousand-year-old Jade Pool, and those spirit plants and spirit veins, the arrangement of the Sanqing Peak had already taken shape. Moreover, the spiritual energy here was the densest in the entire sect.

The people that his clan had assigned to him could enjoy the benefits. They could achieve twice the result with half the effort. He had even used the array formation and talisman paper to set up a small-scale spirit gathering array here. This place looked like a paradise, a truly Heaven-like existence.
