Chapter 39
"Phew..." Huo Yuhao poured some salt water into his mouth, which restored some of his strength: "I need to push my body to its limit, which will be good for my cultivation."
"I ran so hard during the day, and now my legs are too tired to move. I need to give them a rest, so I can only train my upper body, which I did more leisurely during the day."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao walked up to a pair of dumbbells. These dumbbells, each weighing twenty kilograms, were something that Huo Yuhao in his previous life would never have bothered to look at in the gym (definitely not because he couldn't lift them). But now, after transmigrating, Huo Yuhao had taken them into his hands.
Compared to the various machines that were still in their early stages and whose training intensity was uncontrollable, dumbbell training was still more convenient and more intense. Ten consecutive minutes of dumbbell lateral raises pushed Huo Yuhao's body to its limit.
However, Huo Yuhao continued to maintain this posture for another five minutes, pushing his body to its limits to prevent the warm current from the Xuan Tian Gong from dissipating as soon as he exited the training.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Huo Yuhao's hands trembled as he uncorked the porcelain bottle, poured the Xuan Shui Pill into his mouth, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate despite his fatigue.
"Is this the Mysterious Water Pill?" Fan Yu recognized the pill Huo Yuhao had taken and was slightly surprised.
As far as he knew, Huo Yuhao was an orphan whose only background was the Tang Clan, which had fallen into complete ruin and had only two members besides Huo Yuhao.
Although the Xuan Shui Pill is not expensive, it is not easy to get your hands on it without connections. Where did Huo Yuhao get the Xuan Shui Pill?
Furthermore, why did Huo Yuhao deliberately make his body so weak? Could it be just to take this Xuan Shui Pill? Is there some other explanation behind this?
After thinking it over, Fan Yu went over to check on Huo Yuhao's physical condition.
At this moment, the faint blue light emanating from Huo Yuhao's body was particularly noticeable even under the lamplight. It could be seen that a thin layer of water mist seemed to float on the surface of his body, and a faint fragrance emanated from the mist.
It was indeed the unusual phenomenon caused by taking the Xuan Shui Pill, and there were no problems with the circulation of soul power.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was only a little weak and had no other serious problems, Fan Yu continued to study the equipment he had previously created and stopped paying attention to him.
At this moment, the warm current formed by the Xuan Tian Gong within Huo Yuhao's body was still circulating through his meridians under his guidance, constantly nourishing his fragile meridians.
Just as this warm current was about to dry up and was about to complete its final cycle, a cool and refreshing current was born from the abdomen and merged with the warm current.
Then the clear stream flows ahead, slowly washing away the impurities in the meridians, while the warm stream is protected behind it, nourishing the fragile meridians as it moves forward.
Although the efficiency of clearing the meridians of impurities is not very high, the clear flow seems to be inexhaustible and has never decreased. Each time a cycle is completed, a lot of impurities are washed away.
Meanwhile, outside, a layer of light blue mist was surrounding Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao's skin seemed to be undulating slightly, and as it undulated, some fine air currents were constantly emanating from his pores, carrying away impurities from Huo Yuhao's meridians.
Then, the pale blue mist surged into Huo Yuhao's body again, returning to the clear stream that cleansed his meridians, until it carried impurities out of his body in the next cycle, repeating this process.
As time went by, the color of the mist gradually deepened, while the fragrance gradually faded. In contrast, the impurities in Huo Yuhao's meridians visibly decreased until they disappeared completely.
By this time, the warm current of the Xuan Tian Gong had basically dissipated. The clear current, now free of impurities, began to slow down, moving slowly along the meridians to repair the weak points.
"Achoo!"
Huo Yuhao shook his head and stood up.
"You're awake?" Seeing Huo Yuhao finish his cultivation, Fan Yu yawned and stopped what he was doing. "If you're awake, hurry back."
"Thank you, teacher..." Huo Yuhao was about to thank Fan Yu for protecting him when he suddenly saw the filter mask that Fan Yu was wearing on his face.
"Get out of here now that you're awake," Fan Yu said irritably. If it weren't for Huo Yuhao, he would have gone home long ago. But Huo Yuhao inexplicably ate a Xuan Shui Pill, leaving him to help protect the Dharma here.
"You have nowhere to put these devices if you take them. I'll set up a soul guidance laboratory for you under the guise of research to store these things. However, in exchange, these things must be promoted in the school in the future, so don't even think about keeping them to yourself."
"Thank you, teacher!" Huo Yuhao was quite surprised to hear this.
Although Fan Yu didn't say much, having his own research lab in the Shrek Soul Guidance Experiment Zone meant that he had the right to access most of the technical data of the entire Shrek Soul Guidance Department, which provided Huo Yuhao with considerable convenience.
"By the way, you can keep this level six defensive soul tool; consider it research funding for these devices."
As she spoke, Fan Yu tossed Huo Yuhao a bracelet.
"It can convert your mental energy into tangible defense, although the conversion efficiency is still somewhat low. Against a Soul Master of your level, it can only defend for four or five minutes at most. The key is that it is bound to the user's mental energy, and can automatically activate the defense the moment you sense danger..."
This bracelet was made by Fan Yu while Huo Yuhao was absorbing the Xuan Shui Pill. Unfortunately, the scarcity of spiritual attributes is not only reflected in soul masters, but also in materials and formations. Fan Yu searched through all his storage soul tools before he could barely gather some materials to make a bracelet.
"Alright, go back, wash up, and go to bed."
After leaving the Soul Guidance Laboratory and taking a breath of fresh air, Huo Yuhao finally noticed the smell on his body.
Smell...
Yue, this smell is like that of a beggar who hasn't bathed in months—unpleasant, yet strangely addictive.
Huo Yuhao felt disgusted with himself at that moment and hurriedly ran back to the dormitory bathroom to wash up.
This time, Huo Yuhao didn't just rinse off casually like he had in the past few days. Instead, he meticulously scrubbed every inch of his skin, as if he wanted to rub off a piece of flesh.
It took Huo Yuhao another half hour to clean up and return to his dormitory.
Sitting on the bed, Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to start cultivating, wanting to test how the Profound Water Pill could improve his cultivation speed.
Yes, it went very smoothly. What used to take an hour to complete a full cycle of the soul power can now be done in just fifteen minutes. The speed of the soul power circulation has quadrupled.
This is the direct benefit of meridian expansion.
In addition, more resilient meridians mean they can withstand greater pressure and higher quality soul power.
At the same time, it can output more power at once. Soul skills that originally required ten minutes to fully charge up may only require five minutes to charge up after the output efficiency is improved.
Similarly, a soul skill that used to consume only one point of soul power instantly can now consume two points instantly, and even the same soul skill has vastly different power levels.
Besides these readily perceptible changes, there are many hidden benefits that can improve a person's cultivation talent and its maximum potential in all aspects.
