Chapter 56: Almost Thirty
Although Gu Xuan said that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was very suitable for his cultivation, Gu Rong wouldn't believe it until he saw it with his own eyes.
Therefore, Gu Xuan had to conduct an experiment.
As for danger?
What dangers might Gu Xuan, who possesses both dog and horse talismans, encounter?
What he really cared about was whether Gu Xuan could cultivate in this mixed ice and fire zone.
After all, simulated training grounds emphasize attribute matching, and he found it hard to believe that conflicting attributes could provide Gu Xuan with a boost to his cultivation.
He feared that Gu Xuan was just making up an excuse to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
It is unwise to slow down one's progress for the sake of short-term gains.
Gu Xuan didn't say anything, and simply walked towards Yangquan.
Facts will prove everything.
Although the ice and fire energies interact and influence each other here, the springs themselves are still filled with pure ice and fire power.
Outside the spring, there may be an interplay of ice and fire, but above the spring itself, there are only pure ice and fire elements.
"Young Master!?"
Dugu Bo was shocked by Gu Xuan's actions and quickly reached out to pull Gu Xuan back. Did others not know how terrifying those two springs were?
He almost died from just a casual touch back then; what if Gu Xuan accidentally fell in—
Dugu Bo simply couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be.
"Don't worry, this little fire won't hurt me."
Gu Xuan waved to the two with his back to them and stepped onto the scorching Yangquan spring.
boom!
Almost the instant Gu Xuan lifted his foot, a scorching flame spread out from the sole of his foot.
Gu Xuan stood atop the flames like a flame monarch, yet remained unaffected. In fact, as Gu Xuan moved, the scorching flames seemed to spread forward as if they had a mind of their own.
A fiery avenue, paved with flames, formed across the entire blazing Yangquan.
"this!"
Dugu Bo's jaw nearly dislocated at the sight. That was a spring that even he feared like a tiger!
Gu Xuan, however, could walk on it as if it were flat ground.
Even though they were engulfed in flames, their clothes were completely unaffected.
Is this reasonable?
Compared to Dugu Bo's shock, Gu Rong was already used to it. Gu Xuan had given him far too many shocks, and this small achievement in the field of flames was hardly surprising to him.
In fact, in his opinion, given Gu Xuan's mastery of fire, such a performance was normal.
"good!"
Arriving at the center of Yangquan, Gu Xuan looked at the Fiery Apricot Blossom floating before him and took a deep breath.
The abundant fire element in the air surged into his body as if he had seen his own father.
This feeling is absolutely wonderful.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Xuan pushed the fiery apricot blossoms away from the center of the spring and sat cross-legged directly on the water's surface.
As Gu Xuan sat down, the dragon flame road, which had originally resembled a path, instantly shrank, forming a fiery lotus flower beneath him and supporting him.
Each petal of the Flame Lotus Platform resembles a flickering flame, swaying gently in the breeze.
Although they looked like they could vanish at any moment, they were so firmly combined to form a beautiful and radiant lotus flower of flames.
From a distance, it looks like a giant lotus platform of flames supporting the ancient pavilion floating above Yangquan.
"His mental strength is still a bit lacking."
Gu Xuan looked at the flaming lotus he had been distracted from assembling and sighed softly.
Even the lotus petals seemed illusory, indicating a lack of spiritual power. According to his expectations, this fire lotus should at least appear as real as a physical object, if not lifelike.
Although it hasn't met expectations yet, it's enough for now.
Sitting atop the fire lotus used to isolate the Yangquan spring, Gu Xuan closed his eyes and began meditating.
Instantly, visible fire elemental soul power surged forth as if responding to Gu Xuan's call, rushing towards him all at once.
This was the first time Gu Xuan had ever felt such active soul power; he felt as if every pore of his body was greedily absorbing this familiar and vibrant energy.
The surging fire elements hovered around Gu Xuan, rushing towards him in a frenzy.
However, Gu Xuan's meridians are only so big, and there is always a limit to the amount of soul power he can absorb at one time. This caused a large amount of elemental energy to accumulate, and the abundant fire element actually formed an elemental vortex around Gu Xuan!
"This is...this is way too outrageous!"
Dugu Bo stared in disbelief at the scene.
Gu Rong nodded to himself.
He had never heard of Gu Xuan's fire attribute being so strong, and now it seemed that his affinity with fire was also frighteningly high.
Moreover, one can cultivate on Yangquan Spring, thus avoiding the conflict between ice and fire energies.
Therefore, for Gu Xuan, the cultivation effect here was indeed countless times better than the simulated cultivation room on Bone Peak.
The collective riot of fire elements did not last long. Ten minutes later, the fire elements that had been surrounding Gu Xuan scattered, and Gu Xuan arrived at the other side of Yangquan, surrounded by the flame lotus.
"How is it?"
Gu Rong and Dugu Bo appeared in front of Gu Xuan in an instant and lifted him up from the fire lotus.
Gu Xuan opened his eyes, a hint of weariness flashing in them.
Maintaining the Fire Lotus consumed too much mental energy, and on top of that, he had to fully activate the meditation technique to cultivate. It could be said that these ten minutes of cultivation were equivalent to an hour of his usual training.
"Not bad, my soul power has increased by one level, reaching level twenty-seven."
Gu Xuan activated the power of the dog talisman, instantly restoring himself to his peak condition.
After breaking free from their grasp, Gu Xuan said to Gu Rong, "Grandpa, as you can see now, cultivating here is absolutely beneficial and harmless to me."
Ten minutes of cultivation there can be equivalent to an hour at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Gu Xuan hadn't expected that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye would provide such a significant boost to his cultivation.
Six times!
His cultivation speed was already several times that of others; if it were increased by six times, how would others survive?
The only thing he needed to consider was the balance between the Yangquan (hot spring) and the Bingquan (ice spring).
If he absorbs too much power from Yangquan, it will easily cause the ice and fire attributes of this place to become unbalanced.
This is easy to solve. As long as Gu Xuan drives Liehuo Xingjiaoshu out of the core position or even removes her, and he takes her place, then the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye will not lose its balance.
"Alright, since this place is more suitable for your growth, then after I hunt down enough soul bones for you, you can come here to cultivate with Dugu Bo."
Seeing the determination in Gu Xuan's eyes, Gu Rong finally agreed to his request.
"Thank you for understanding, Grandpa."
Gu Xuan smiled.
"Alright, hurry back. By the way, what kind of spirit beast do you want for your third spirit ring? I'll catch one for you this time."
Gu Rong was a man of action. After returning, he prepared to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and head to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul bones for Gu Xuan.
You know, Gu Xuan is already level 27, and he will probably break through level 30 soon. Shouldn't we prepare soul beasts in advance?
