Dear Lingshi

Chapter 173 Test in the River

What Lu Yunsheng said was true and full of sincerity.

"Master, since Mr. Lu is so sincere, please agree to it!" Zhuo Miao said coquettishly.

Xuanshan Zhenren seemed to be very fond of Zhuo Miao, so he had no choice but to say to Lu Yunsheng again with a helpless look on his face: "You are originally from the outside world, and your talent is mediocre, but our Fuhu Sect will not be ungrateful. Today, I will make an exception and give you a chance to join the sect."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunsheng was overjoyed and was about to thank Master Xuanshan.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Let me be frank with you. Before you can join my Fu Hu Sect, you still need to go through three tests. If you can't pass these tests, it means that you are indeed not destined to be in the same physical cultivation lineage as me!"

Hearing this, there was no reason for Lu Yunsheng to refuse, and he immediately expressed his willingness to take the test.

Upon hearing Lu Yunsheng's words, Master Xuanshan looked at Lu Yunsheng in surprise. The surrounding disciples of the Fuhu Sect also became interested, because these three tests were not so easy to pass.

"Follow me!" Taoist Xuanshan was not a man who would procrastinate. Seeing that Lu Yunsheng had agreed, he immediately motioned Lu Yunsheng to follow him.

The disciples around were also happy to watch the fun, and they all followed Taoist Xuanshan and flew into the mountain gate.

Lu Yunsheng followed Taoist Xuanmu into the mountain gate and found that the Fuhu Gate was not that big. Looking around, there was nothing special on these hills except some palaces and training grounds.

Not long after, Taoist Xuanmu and his group landed in a valley. There was an inconspicuous river in the valley, which could actually be more appropriately called a stream.

Taoist Xuanmu looked at the river not far away and turned to Lu Yunsheng and said, "The first test will be carried out in this river."

Hearing this, Lu Yunsheng looked at the river in front of him curiously. In his eyes, the river was ordinary. If he had to find something magical, it would be that in such a cold temperature, the river did not freeze.

"No! There is no living thing in this river!" Lu Yunsheng suddenly discovered this problem and was a little surprised.

Seeing Lu Yunsheng's curious expression, Taoist Xuanshan smiled and explained, "The water in this river is not ordinary water, but the thousand-year-old cold spirit liquid that flows down from those mountains. As long as you can stay in it for ten breaths, you will pass this test. Remember, you cannot use your true essence and soul power to resist. If you are found to be mobilizing your true essence and soul power, you will be disqualified immediately!"

Lu Yunsheng didn't take it seriously after hearing this. After all, he was already a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. Although he had never practiced physical cultivation, his body had already become immune to cold and heat. Moreover, he only needed to stay for ten breaths. Even if there was something strange about the river water, he thought he could still complete it.

"Young master, you must not take it lightly. The temperature of this thousand-year-old cold spiritual liquid is extremely low. It is usually used for quenching when refining spiritual weapons. Only those brothers with extremely high cultivation dare to use it to temper their bodies, but they can't last long." Zhuo Miao saw that Lu Yunsheng did not take it seriously, and quickly sent him a message to explain.

When Lu Yunsheng heard this, his heart suddenly became anxious.

"Young man, why are you still standing there? Are you scared?" Taoist Xuanshan looked at Lu Yunsheng and saw that he did not leave immediately, so he urged him with a smile.

After hearing this, Lu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and walked straight into the river.

As soon as his feet stepped into the river, his body staggered and he felt a bone-chilling chill creeping up his legs, as if someone was stabbing his flesh with countless steel spikes.

Lu Yunsheng trembled in pain, but thinking that this was the only way for him to obtain the Xuanyuan Flesh Joy Order, he had to grit his teeth and stride towards the middle of the river.

It was not until the water reached over his shoulders that he was able to steady himself in the middle of the river.

At this time, Lu Yunsheng's face was blue and purple, and he was breathing heavily from his mouth involuntarily. Now Lu Yunsheng's whole body was soaked in the river water, but surprisingly he did not feel a trace of coldness. Instead, he felt hot all over, as if he was thrown into a pot and steamed.

"It's only been two breaths, and his eyes have begun to blur and he's having hallucinations." The eldest senior brother standing next to Zhuo Miao looked at Lu Yunsheng's condition and whispered to the disciples beside him.

"This kid really overestimates his own abilities. He didn't even ask around before coming here. How strict are the conditions for recruiting disciples in our Fu Hu Sect?" The second senior brother looked at Lu Yunsheng in the river with an amused look on his face.

"That's right. When I first took part in this test, I at least lasted until the seventh breath before hallucinations began to appear." The third senior brother took over the conversation with some lingering fear.

At this time, Lu Yunsheng's vision had gradually become blurred. He only felt waves of heat sweeping over his body and impacting his consciousness. This unusually uncomfortable feeling made him want to escape from the river immediately.

Lu Yunsheng knew that this was an illusion caused by hypothermia in the severe cold. At this time, his body had reached its limit.

But when he thought of the Xuanyuan Flesh Joy Order, he quickly suppressed the idea of ​​escaping.

Time came to the fifth breath. At this time, Lu Yunsheng's consciousness had reached its limit and he was even a little unstable. Although it was only a few breaths, the thought of escaping arose in his mind countless times and was suppressed by him countless times.

"No!" Lu Yunsheng didn't expect that this test was beyond his imagination. He sighed in his heart and was about to give up.

But at this moment, Lu Yunsheng discovered that under this extreme torture of his physical body, the power of his soul had actually increased slightly which was imperceptible to the naked eye.

"That's right! I'm so stupid!"

Lu Yunsheng's blurry eyes suddenly lit up. He thought that his soul realm had already reached the perfection of soul pill. Even if he used it, Master Xuanshan would not be able to detect it.

Of course, Lu Yunsheng was also betting that the legendary Xuanying stage ancestor was not paying attention to this place at this time.

He couldn't care less at this point.

In order to pass the test, I can only take shortcuts.

Lu Yunsheng quickly mobilized the power of his soul to wrap his entire body, and the heat wave was immediately isolated outside.

Not long after, Lu Yunsheng felt the heat wave gradually disappearing, and the pain that followed turned into a biting cold.

However, he could endure this level of cold by gritting his teeth.

The people on the shore also noticed that Lu Yunsheng's eyes gradually became clear from being blurred, and they all had an incredible look on their faces.

Although this situation has rarely occurred since the founding of the Fu Hu Sect, it would never happen to a cultivator who has never practiced the art of physical cultivation.

This is because only when a cultivator who has practiced physical cultivation suddenly breaks through the realm while tempering his body in the river, and his physical strength is rapidly increased, will this situation occur.
