Chapter 285: Dao Name Qingyang (Combined Chapter)
After more than two hours, Liu Yu returned to Color Lotus Mountain.
He stored away his magical artifacts, activated the formation, and walked inside, seeing Ji Ruyan busy arranging some flowers she had picked.
"Young Master."
Ji Ruyan stood up, greeting him respectfully, but then fell silent.
She knew that she was just a maid now, and her only job was to do her own tasks well; there were questions she should not ask.
Liu Yu nodded slightly in response. He sensed her aura and discovered that she was not far from the ninth layer of qi refinement.
There was no bottleneck from the eighth to the ninth layer of qi refinement, and at the current speed, she would likely reach it in about a year.
Everything was progressing in the direction he had envisioned. Once she reached the ninth layer of qi refinement, he would bestow upon her the Dragon Blood Fruit to enhance her physical body.
One year for the ninth layer of qi refinement, two years for the peak of qi refinement, and then another year to refine his magical power. In a maximum of four years, he would be ready to break through to foundation establishment.
This girl had slightly better talents than him, and with elixirs to assist, her cultivation speed could surpass his initial pace.
With that thought, Liu Yu entered the training room and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion.
Since he had confirmed that Canglang Spiritual Water was fine, the issue of removing Dan Poison should be addressed sooner rather than later.
Although the influence of Dan Poison on his cultivation speed was still minimal now, it would become significant when he was about to break through a bottleneck. Given his aptitude, even a slight improvement in cultivation speed was beneficial.
This was also the reason he valued Ji Ruyan so much.
He took out the jade vial containing Canglang Spiritual Water, uncorked it, and controlled the water to fly out automatically. In just a few breaths, he had consumed all the spiritual water.
Liu Yu did not dare to be careless. He closed his eyes, quickly formed a spell gesture, and began to refine the medicinal properties.
He deliberately used his magical power to envelop the medicinal properties and transport them to every part of his body, striving to maximize the effects.
Soon, just like the experiments he had conducted on Yuan Wanli and Xu Kang, a cool sensation spread through him. The medicinal properties dispersed throughout his flesh, meridians, and bones, beginning to take effect.
A layer of grayish-white impurities gradually expelled from within to without.
Perhaps due to the spiritual energy cleansing during his foundation establishment, the impurities Liu Yu expelled were far fewer than those of the two others, and the foul smell was not as intense.
After a quarter of an hour, the cool sensation gradually faded, replaced by a burning heat that slowly spread throughout his body.
It reached every drop of blood, every part of his flesh, even deep into the bone marrow.
"Ugh!"
Liu Yu, with his eyes tightly closed, let out a painful groan, his brows furrowing tightly.
This pervasive pain throughout his body was not much different from the pain of spirit refinement. At that moment, he finally experienced what Xu Kang and Yuan Wanli had gone through.
The pain of spirit refinement had diminished by more than ninety percent since the Mind Nourishing Elixir had become available, and it had been a long time since Liu Yu had felt such extreme agony.
Gathering qi and focusing his spirit, he embraced the origin and guarded the one.
Liu Yu worked hard to maintain clarity in his Primordial Spirit, gradually entering a peculiar state.
His Primordial Spirit and consciousness seemed to elevate, adopting an observer's perspective and calmly observing everything happening in his physical body.
In this state, even the pain in his body felt distant, and his consciousness remained relatively calm.
His Primordial Spirit governed all aspects of his body, observing the cleansing process as the Dan Poison was gradually expelled and transformed into a pitch-black substance that was pushed out of his body.
