It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

After entering the Li family's territory, Wuwei Zhenren was led by Li Zhiyuan to the residence of the Li family's ancestor to drink tea, while Cheng Shuyan was led by Li Zhiyi to the Hanye Pool.

Li Zhiyi is considered to have good qualifications in the Li family, and she also has a spot in the Cold Liquid Pool this time.

After passing through the inner courtyard and entering the back mountain, Li He, the person in charge of the Li family this time, was already waiting there. Beside him were two other people from the Li family who were entering the cold liquid pool this time.

"Greetings, Fourth Uncle." As soon as he saw Li He, Li Zhiyi showed a look of fear on his face and hurried forward to salute.

Cheng Shuyan followed behind her and also saluted Li He: "Greetings, Senior."

"Well, no need to be so polite." Li He nodded slightly with a serious expression, and he looked a little difficult to deal with.

"Let me tell you, my fourth uncle is the elder of our Li family's Punishment Hall. He has a stern face all day long, like the King of Hell. He's so fierce! I don't know how it happened that he's the one in charge?"

When the two of them stood still, Li Zhiyi couldn't help but lean over to Cheng Shuyan's ear and whisper in his ear to complain.

Li Zhiyi thought she was speaking quietly, but she didn't expect the boy in front of her to suddenly turn around and whisper to her, "Thirteenth sister, please keep your voice down. Is this something nice?"

Li Zhiyi glanced at Li He secretly and was immediately shocked. He was so scared that he knelt down with Cheng Shuyan in his arms: "Fourth uncle, I was wrong. Please forgive me..."

"Chewing someone's tongue behind their back, after soaking in the cold water pool, you will be sent to the torture hall for half a month of solitary confinement."

As expected of an elder of the Punishment Hall, the aura of his words alone is frightening enough.

"I admitted my mistake!" Li Zhiyi was not convinced.

"One month."

Li Zhiyi was convinced.

"Why are you doing this?" Cheng Shuyan looked at her with a little sympathy.

"Alas... my plan to go out and play has been ruined again."

The dejected look made Cheng Shuyan want to laugh, so she laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Haven't you ever been punished by the elders of your sect's punishment hall?"

"Ah? Really not. Our sect doesn't have a punishment hall."

"What??? This doesn't make sense!"

As the two were talking, the fifth person arrived here, led by a disciple of the Li family.

"Okay, the five people entering the cold liquid pool have arrived. Please follow me."

Li He walked to the side first, and several people hurriedly followed. After seeing that they were standing beside him, he took out several medium-grade spirit stones and placed them into the eyes of the formation. Then the formation was activated, and in the blink of an eye, several people arrived in a cave.

The cold liquid pool is right in the center of the cave. The pool is not very big, and the water is clear. Water is dripping into the pool from the cracks in the rocks above the head.

It turns out that this is how the cold liquid pool is formed!

Cheng Shuyan thought to himself.

She was puzzled before. Logically speaking, there should be many people coveting such a treasure, and there should even be many who are stronger than the Li family. Why has the Li family been able to guard the Cold Liquid Pool all this time?

Now she seemed to understand a little bit. This cold liquid pool could not be moved and could only stay here. There were many restrictions on its use. It could only be used once every five years, and there were only five places available at a time.

As a result, many big forces were too lazy to bother with it, and the small forces could not defeat the Li family, which allowed the Li family to live in peace over the years.

"Alright, you guys go in. It will take three days in total. During this time, I will protect you."

Several people entered the pool one after another. Cheng Shuyan was the fourth one to enter, followed by another person who bought a spot.

This man looked not much older than her, but his cultivation was two levels higher than hers. He had always been taciturn. At this moment, the four of them were shivering from the cold water in the pool, but he was soaking in it motionlessly.

The Cold Liquid Pool really lives up to its reputation, the water is really cold.

Li Zhiyi couldn't help but hissed, turned around and wanted to go ashore, but when he saw Li He on the shore, he silently turned around and soaked in the pool.

The water in the pool was cold, and the few people could only use their spiritual power to resist, but the water seemed to erode their spiritual power, and the chill still penetrated into their bones.

Gradually, the body became colder and colder, and even the most steady male cultivator began to tremble.

However, Li He on the shore watched them like this without saying anything, thinking that there should be no danger, so Cheng Shuyan gritted his teeth and persisted.

Li Zhiyi wanted to run away and stood up, but when he saw that everyone else was still soaking in the water, he went back in unwillingly.

Now, the sound of teeth chattering could be heard one after another in the pool, and Li He on the shore could not help but smile.

"You guys are really capable of carrying it. You carried it for a whole stick of incense. The last group that could carry it that well was the group fifty years ago."

Listen to this...

Actually, you don’t have to force it?

Sure enough, Li He took out five pills and threw them to them.

"This is the Lieyang Pill. It can help you resist the cold and lasts for three days."

"Fourth uncle! You had this good stuff, but you didn't take it out earlier. You just wanted to make fun of us, right?"

Li Zhiyi was so angry that he didn't care about being afraid anymore and his temper flared up immediately.

Li He gave her a look and opened his lips slightly: "Two months."

"Fourth uncle!!!"

……

With the help of the Lieyang Pill, the coldness in the body gradually disappeared, and everyone gradually entered a state of meditation.

As everyone practiced their skills, spiritual energy was continuously absorbed from the pool water into their bodies, and then circulated over and over again, flushing everyone's meridians.

Cheng Shuyan could clearly feel that something seemed to be washed out of her body by this spiritual energy. As time passed, her body became much lighter.

The flow of spiritual energy became smoother and smoother, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy when practicing the exercises became faster and faster.

Gradually, her cultivation level of the second level of Qi training began to break through. A steady stream of spiritual energy was absorbed by her and then transformed into cultivation level. She seemed to feel the barrier of the third level of Qi training.

My senior sister once said that there is a barrier between the second and third levels of Qi training, and many cultivators with poor qualifications are stuck at this level and cannot pass.

Although her five spiritual roots are extremely strong and the five elements are balanced, they are not considered good qualifications in this era of thin spiritual energy.

Originally, she was still thinking about finding a place with sufficient spiritual energy to break through, but she didn't expect that the effect of the cold liquid pool was so powerful that it allowed her to touch this barrier so easily.

Cheng Shuyan was no longer distracted and focused on practicing the skills, aiming to reach the third level of Qi training.

……

Three days passed quickly, and the surrounding spiritual energy gradually became thinner. At this time, Cheng Shuyan also successfully broke through to the third level of Qi training.

She had just woken up from her meditation when a foul odor rushed into her nose.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that several other people had also opened their eyes one after another, covering their noses and fleeing out of the pool.

The originally clear pool of water now emitted a foul odor, and they were also covered in this stench.

"These are the toxins and impurities in your bodies! Humans eat grains, and you are all cultivators who have only recently begun your practice, so naturally your bodies contain a lot of impurities. The greatest function of the Cold Liquid Pool is to help you expel these impurities and achieve the effect of refining your tendons and cleansing your marrow."
