Chapter 36: Dark Lake Bathing Beauty

Tick! Tick!

The cave was very damp, and near the swamp, water often seeped out from the stone walls and dripped onto the ground.

The cave entrance was blocked by a huge rock, which made it a little dark. If a mortal stayed here, he couldn't even see his palm half a foot away, but Gu Xiuyun and Yan Suqing were both practitioners, with sharp six senses, so it didn't matter.

Gu Xiuyun sat cross-legged, pinching his fingertips constantly, while recovering his spiritual power and deducing the escape from the dust.

On the other side, Yan Suqing's spiritual power surged around him, and his face gradually became ruddy.

Five hours later, the two finally recovered their cultivation.

If they were outside, with the essence of the sun and the moon to breathe, they could recover their spiritual power in two hours at most. But the cave was dark and damp, and they could only rely on the spiritual energy wandering around, so their cultivation was much slower.

"Cousin Dan," Yan Suqing opened his eyes, "When can we go out?"

"It's best not to go out these days. The python monster is likely to be nearby." Gu Xiuyun shook his head slightly.

Time was too short, so they could only hide at the edge of the mountain. If the python monster was smart, it would definitely be able to estimate their approximate range.

Going out at this time would be tantamount to seeking death.

"But I..." Yan Suqing's voice was a little vague, "It's not convenient here."

Gu Xiuyun turned his head and took a look. Although he didn't hear her words clearly, he could see her expression clearly.

"This girl, with big monsters around outside, she still cares about the smell on her body!" Gu Xiuyun muttered secretly.

Yan Suqing had experienced a series of battles, and her clothes were almost stained with blood. She didn't feel it when she was fighting before, but now she was hiding in the cave, and her body was emitting a fishy smell. For a woman who loves beauty, it was really unbearable.

"Miss Yan, this cave is adjacent to the swamp, and there must be a dark lake underneath," Gu Xiuyun thought for a moment and pointed to one side of the stone wall, "If you dig in this way, you can enter the dark lake, but you must be careful not to make too much noise."

"Thank you cousin Dan for your advice."

Yan Suqing's hands were filled with spiritual power, and she chopped at the stone wall. With just two hand knives, she split a three- or four-foot-deep hole.

This is because she tried her best to restrain her spiritual power to prevent the sound from spreading. If she used all her strength, she could smash the three-foot-thick stone wall with one palm.

The strength of the powerful person in the pulse barrier realm is indeed shocking.

In a short moment, Yan Suqing dug a tunnel that led directly to the dark lake. She clapped her hands, and the passage behind her was blocked by stones, and she jumped into the depths of the lake.

"I didn't expect that the genius of the Yan family was like a little girl." Gu Xiuyun shook his head and smiled, and continued to deduce the escape from the dust.

A trace of spiritual power gathered around him, faintly turning into restrictions and blending with each other.

"In two days at most, I should be able to integrate the first three restrictions!"

Since repairing the life star bead, Gu Xiuyun's sea of ​​consciousness has been filled with starlight, and his soul has also slowly strengthened. In the past two days, Gu Xiuyun clearly sensed that his deduction speed has increased by nearly 10%.

You know, it's only been two days. If it takes a month or even a year, how strong will his soul be?

Gu Xiuyun understands that the power of starlight also has its limits, and it is impossible to improve the soul all the time, but as long as it lasts for a month, his deduction speed can reach an incredible level.

"After I have achieved a small success in the dust escape, I can try to leave the mountains and return to Yuning City!" Gu Xiuyun said to himself.

With the python demon waiting on the side, they dare not walk out of the mountains and enter the wasteland.

The mountains are full of peaks and dense trees, which can also conceal their figures, but the wasteland is endless. As long as they show up, they will be discovered by the python demon.

Only by using the Lichen Dunshu technique can we get rid of the python monster and return to the city smoothly.

Just as Gu Xiuyun was thinking, the stone wall shattered, and Yan Suqing walked in wet, with a splash of water on the ground.

So fast?

Gu Xiuyun looked up in surprise.

There was no blood on Yan Suqing's body, and even her clothes were washed clean, but they were just soaked in water, so they were wet.

The clothes that fit her curves made her graceful figure particularly attractive.

As if she felt Gu Xiuyun's gaze, Yan Suqing was a little shy, and hurriedly urged her spiritual power to dry her clothes.

Huh!

The spiritual power surged, and the hot breath filled the lapels. Soon, Yan Suqing's clothes were completely dry.

"Brother Dan, I went to the dark lake to wash my clothes just now, and I seem to have found a cave." Yan Suqing pretended to be calm to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Cave?" Gu Xiuyun raised his eyebrows. "There are many undercurrents underground, so it's not surprising that caves are formed."

"That cave is a little different. Although the spiritual energy is weak, it is extremely pure, almost as good as the purple spiritual energy." Yan Suqing continued.

"As good as the purple spiritual energy?" Gu Xiuyun's eyes flashed.

How pure is the purple spiritual energy? The same wisp of purple energy can transform into several times the spiritual energy of the sun. The spiritual energy wandering between heaven and earth is often the most turbid. It can only be used to restore loss and cannot be breathed in and practiced.

But the spiritual power in that cave is not inferior to the purple spiritual power?

This is too incredible.

"Let's go and take a look." Gu Xiuyun stood up quickly.

"Cousin Dan, the more magical the place, the greater the danger. Why don't we wait for me to take the Qu Linghua and open up the first heavenly gate, and then we will set off." Yan Suqing suggested.

"Okay." Gu Xiuyun nodded slightly.

Yan Suqing sat cross-legged, and the spiritual energy around him was surging, preparing for a breakthrough.

Opening the Heavenly Gate is the most critical moment for a cultivator who has entered the Pulse Gate Realm. It is called the Heavenly Gate because each level is like a mountain, lying in front of you and difficult to break through.

But if you can get through it, you will enter a new world.

Gu Xiuyun knows very little about how to open the Heavenly Gate, but he knows very well that every time you open a Heavenly Gate, your cultivation will double.

If Yan Suqing can really open the first Heavenly Gate, she can save her life even when facing a python monster.

Huh!

The sound of wind rang.

Gu Xiuyun seemed to hear the sound of the tide, wave after wave, surging in Yan Suqing's spiritual veins. Her purple spiritual power accumulated for more than ten years has already filled the spiritual veins and made them extremely stable.

"Those with innate spiritual veins are really blessed by nature." Gu Xiuyun sighed in his heart, "The purple spiritual power accumulated over more than ten years is all hidden in the depths of the spiritual veins. How vast and magnificent is it?"

After entering the ranks of practitioners, Gu Xiuyun finally understood how big the gap between those with innate spiritual veins and those with acquired spiritual veins is.

For example, Yan Suqing, who was born with spiritual veins, can practice immortal arts and breathe in purple spiritual power as long as she opens her wisdom. After more than ten years of accumulation, the purple spiritual power in her body is like a lake. If she had not had the art of breaking through the barriers, she could even open up two barriers in one fell swoop.

Acquired practitioners can only accumulate purple spiritual power after successfully opening their veins. But how much spiritual power can be accumulated in the Yuanling Ximai realm with weak spiritual veins and unopened barriers?

The spiritual vein is like a container. For practitioners in the Yuanling Ximai realm, the spiritual vein is only the size of a cup. No matter how much they practice, they can only hold a cup of water. If there is too much, it will overflow.

Only when you break through to the Kaimai realm will the cup slowly become larger and more spiritual power can be stored.

Those with innate spiritual veins are naturally broad, and even if they have not awakened, their level is no less than that of the early stage of the opening meridian barrier. Therefore, they can accumulate purple energy and spiritual power day and night, and once they break through, they will become strong people of the human race.

In comparison, it takes more than ten years for acquired practitioners to enlighten their spiritual veins, and then more than ten years to refine their spiritual veins until they enter the opening meridian realm.

Only then can they really start to accumulate spiritual power and try to open the heavenly gate. Therefore, most of the acquired practitioners who can really open the first heavenly gate are over fifty years old.

And those with innate spiritual veins stand at the end of countless acquired practitioners as soon as they are born.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiuyun shook his head and sighed, "Only people like Miss Yan can be called the pride of the human race. Compared with them, even if acquired practitioners try their best to practice, they can hardly catch up."

"It can be seen that being born well is really good!"
