Chapter 307: Great Perfection

Wang Yu walked quickly along the corridor to the side of the small lake, feeling the warm temperature radiating from the water surface. He squatted down, reached a hand into the water, and closed his eyes to feel it.

After a full dozen breaths, Wang Yu opened his eyes again, pulled his hand out of the water, and looked at it carefully for a few times.

At this moment, his palm was crimson and scalding, and one could vaguely see all the pores on the back of his hand opened, with wisps of white air permeating from the skin, and it also emitted a thick medicinal fragrance.

Wang Yu revealed a satisfied expression and then began to ponder.

This small lake was not large, but it was one of the most valuable places in this true disciple cave dwelling. It was called a small lake, but it was actually a medicinal hot spring with special effects. If a cultivator soaked in it frequently, not only could it nourish the body and improve the physique, but it also had a weak effect of eliminating pill toxins in the body.

After he learned about the effects of this spring, he was overjoyed. He went to the General Affairs Hall for the first time, overspent a large amount of contribution points with his true disciple status, and obtained this special medicinal bath formula.

This spring had existed on Mount Tianzhu for so long. The Thousand Bamboo Sect had occupied it for hundreds of years and had long developed methods to make full use of it. When they handed over Mount Tianzhu, they simply left all such special medicinal formulas to the Four Symbols Sect.

According to the formula, if the spring water is to truly have the effect of eliminating a large amount of pill toxins in the body, it is necessary to continuously put over a hundred different spirit medicines into the water, and then nurture it for over two years so that the medicinal power is completely integrated into the spring water. Then, one can use a special secret technique while soaking to wash the marrow and change the tendons, and eliminate the pill toxins in the body bit by bit.

Not to mention the sky-high contribution points spent to trade for the formula, which he had only just finished paying off now, the over a hundred spirit medicines put into this spirit spring each time were worth thirty or forty thousand spirit stones. Moreover, there were several rare spirit medicines among them that even the Four Symbols Sect's General Affairs Hall did not have, forcing him to go to outside marketplaces to search for them.

Putting spirit medicines into this spirit spring requires one year, and nurturing the spring water requires two years. That is to say, it takes three years to wash the marrow once.

This time, it was precisely his fourth medicinal bath.

Whenever Wang Yu thought of the sky-high spirit stones spent on it, he could not help but feel a pang of heartache.

But this medicinal bath had to be taken. After all, with the number of pills he had consumed over the years, the pill toxins in his body had long accumulated to a terrifying degree, especially in the last few years, when he had taken over thirty types of cultivation pills to impact the twelfth-layer Great Perfection realm.

And these pills were not conventional pills, but rather rare cultivation pills whose main ingredients were too scarce and rarely circulated.

Among them, those with weak pill effects only increased cultivation by a month per pill, but those with strong effects could save him several years of bitter cultivation per pill.

The one with the most astonishing effect he had ever taken was a top-grade pill called the "Spirit Panic Pill," which actually increased cultivation by eight years per pill, allowing him to break through a small realm in just a few days.

But because the medicinal effect was too overbearing, he was immediately backlashed by magic power afterward, his meridians were disordered, and he almost lay in bed for half a year before he finally recovered and saved his life.

Only then did he understand a little that these so-called "rare pills" were mostly pills with too many side effects that had long been eliminated by immortal sects.

Recalling this matter, he still felt lingering fear. This was because his body was strong enough; if it had been an ordinary disciple, that backlash would have caused him to explode and die long ago.

Wang Yu sighed, stood up, and formed seals with one hand.

With a "pu" sound.

Red light bloomed on his body surface, and wisps of red light rays flew out from his body, condensing upward. In the blink of an eye, a red light ball one zhang in diameter materialized, its surface blurry, like a fiery red sun close at hand.

The temperature of the nearby air began to rise sharply, exceeding one hundred degrees in the blink of an eye. The surface of the lake water began to ripple slightly, emitting even denser water mist.

"The Fire Spirit Technique at the twelfth-layer Great Perfection is indeed astonishing in power. If I had cultivated to this realm back in the Jialan Secret Realm, killing those demonic path true disciples wouldn't have been so difficult." Wang Yu formed seals with one hand, looked at the giant light ball above with narrowed eyes, and muttered to himself.

He then changed the spell in his hand and beckoned upward again. The red light ball disintegrated and turned into wisps of red light rays that flew into his body.

The temperature in the nearby void began to fall back.

Wang Yu savored the feeling of magic power filling his whole body again. After a good while, he turned around and headed toward a lonely stone room in a corner of the cave.

As he approached the stone room, a chill, the exact opposite of the small lake, rushed toward his face.

Wang Yu frowned, but still approached the stone room and pulled open the thick stone door.

As soon as the stone door was opened, a chill rolled out from the stone room.

Even Wang Yu could not help but shiver. He hurriedly activated the Fire Spirit Technique again, letting a layer of faint red light bloom on his body surface, before he walked in as normal.

He saw that the entire stone room, whether it was the ground or the surrounding walls, was covered with a layer of thick frost. In the center of the stone room, on a bluestone platform, was a pale blue ice ball two zhang in diameter.

In the center of the semi-transparent ice ball, one could vaguely see a spirit beast about a zhang long, snow-white all over, curled up in a ball, motionless.

"Little White."

Wang Yu walked over and called out tentatively.

The next moment, the white spirit beast in the ice ball seemed to move its body, and immediately the blue ice ball shattered amidst a few crisp "ka cha" sounds, and countless pale blue ice dregs fell under the stone platform.

The white spirit beast then lazily stretched its body and raised its head to look at Wang Yu.

At this moment, Little White's body had shrunk much smaller than it was over ten years ago, returning to the appearance of seven or eight feet long. However, its body shape was even more slender, and at the same time, a short pale white horn grew on its head, and the pale blue scales on its abdomen had also turned snow-white.

Little White let out low "wu wu" sounds, and at the same time opened its bloody mouth wide.

Wang Yu laughed dumbly, patted his storage bag with one hand, and took out a meat chunk the size of a fist.

This meat chunk was pink, and there were faint white light patterns wriggling in the meat, and it was still wriggling slowly in his hand, looking like a living thing, which was very strange.

As soon as Little White saw this meat, its original lazy appearance immediately disappeared, and it opened its mouth even wider with glowing eyes.

Wang Yu shook his wrist and threw the meat chunk directly into the white spirit beast's big mouth.

Little White swallowed the whole meat ball in just two bites, then continued to open its mouth wide, while its nose kept sniffing and urging.

Wang Yu did not hesitate, took out several more meat chunks from his storage bag, threw them all into Little White's mouth, and said helplessly:

"Little White, don't be anxious, slow down. This is second-rank Taishui monster beast meat. With this one bite, over ten spirit stones are gone. Ever since you took that wisp of Flood Dragon essence blood, your body hasn't grown, but you've become pickier than before. Now the cost of raising you is top-tier, topping three or four Big Greens." ===== CHAPTER 308 =====
