Chapter 46 Doesn't this guy feel any pain?
Liu Qiuyan didn't look at the tall, thin man again.
"Ignore them, they've always been like this," she said softly to Lu Yuan.
"Junior brother, are you new here? I'm Liu Qiuyan, a disciple of the Enforcement Hall. If these guys ever try to cause you trouble, feel free to come find me..."
"Hello, my name is Lu Yuan," Lu Yuan replied calmly.
Seeing that Lu Yuan had started to talk to her, Liu Qiuyan added a layer of proper concern to her words towards him.
"This is your first time entering the body-tempering pool, isn't it?"
Her tone was full of concern for her junior brother.
"The body-tempering power in this pool increases with depth, so it's not advisable to go too deep the first time you enter the pool."
One should start in shallow water and proceed gradually; otherwise, the meridians will not be able to withstand the water pressure, resulting in either reversed flow of qi and blood or, in severe cases, damage to the very foundation of the body.
Lu Yuan glanced at her.
What this senior sister said was exactly the same as what Tie Heng said.
Same set of safety instructions, same tone.
However, he had a better impression of this senior sister than of the male disciples.
She was at least talking about serious matters.
"Okay, thank you."
He casually agreed, folded his coat and placed it on the bluestone by the pool, then stepped barefoot into the pool.
The moment my feet touched the pale red water, a warm sensation rose from the soles of my feet, traveling upwards along my meridians.
A peculiar tingling sensation gradually spread throughout the body along the meridians.
It seemed as if a gentle force was flowing upwards along the direction of the internal energy.
Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
My initially tense nerves gradually relaxed under the influence of this force.
Comfortable.
Soon, Lu Yuan gradually got used to this feeling.
It began to move slowly in the pool.
He kept his eyes closed, focusing on feeling the power refining his meridians.
Subconsciously, I moved my feet in the direction where the tempering effect was stronger.
However, in the eyes of those present...
Lu Yuan did not walk towards the shallow water area.
Instead, he closed his eyes and slowly stepped into the deeper part of the pool.
With each step he took forward, the scouring sensation intensified, and his meridians widened slightly.
This completely immersed him in the feeling.
In addition, his eyes were closed.
He was completely unaware that Liu Qiuyan was looking at him.
Her lips moved, as if she was about to warn Lu Yuan not to go deeper into the area.
The tall, thin man suddenly came closer again.
"Senior Sister Liu, look! This kid doesn't take your words seriously at all!"
You just said to proceed step by step, but he's going straight into the depths.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
The tall, thin man's face was filled with righteous indignation.
The volume was even louder than before, as if afraid that his fellow disciples wouldn't be able to hear it.
Several inner disciples who were taking a bath unconsciously stopped circulating their qi and turned their gaze to the new face who was walking towards the deep water area with his eyes closed.
Liu Qiuyan ignored him.
She watched Lu Yuan's retreating figure, her brows furrowing slightly.
She had seen far too many inner disciples who tried to show off on their first visit to the pool.
Relying on their status as top geniuses at each peak, they disregarded the experiences of others entering the body-tempering pool.
As a result, deep inside, he was suddenly devoured by the power of body tempering.
At best, the person will be dragged up with a pale face and convulsing all over; at worst, their meridians will be damaged and they will have to lie in bed for half a month.
But the disciple named Lu Yuan in front of them walked very strangely.
Not fast, but extremely stable.
Each step landed firmly on the stone surface at the bottom of the pool, without any wobbling or floating in my knees.
He simply closed his eyes and walked step by step deeper into the depths.
The pool water had turned from light red to dark red, the color as intense as dissolved cinnabar.
The water reached his waist, chest, and collarbone.
The young disciples had long since gone from watching the show to remaining silent.
"How did we get there? To that area?"
"Just how strong is this person? They arrived in that area and still seem to have no time to spare."
"I think this kid is just faking it. The water concentration in that area is extremely high. I reckon it won't be long before he's covered in sores!"
...
Amid the murmurs of the crowd.
Lu Yuan continued walking deeper into the area with his eyes closed.
This body-tempering pool is divided into shallow, medium, and deep sections according to its location...
The further you go in, the closer you get to the cave at the source of the pool's water.
The more obvious the effect of that body-tempering power, the better.
Lu Yuan's position is now about to break through the limit of the middle water zone and enter the deep water zone.
The moment he stepped into the deep water.
The skin began to melt instantly.
The parts of his body that came into contact with the pool water immediately became a bloody mess.
Lu Yuan maintained the same expression, as if the flesh corroded by the pool water was not his own at all.
"See? I told you! Anyone below the Meridian Opening Realm who comes into contact with the water in that deep area will immediately have their skin torn open. This kid really did..."
One of the disciples joked, but before he could finish speaking, he was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless.
Suddenly, the flesh and blood on Lu Yuan's body that had been corroded began to heal rapidly.
New pieces of flesh are growing at a visible rate.
All the disciples present were staring intently at Lu Yuan in front of them.
"This...this recovery speed, is he even human?"
"A monster...a monster!"
"Has he already reached the Meridian Opening Realm? Wasn't he just entered the inner sect?"
"The last person to go straight into the deep waters right after entering the inner sect... was Sect Master Tie thirty years ago!"
Before we knew it.
Lu Yuan has reached the depths of the deep water area.
It was clear that his recovery speed was not keeping up with the corrosive power of the pool water.
To the naked eye, it was clear that Lu Yuan had almost no healthy flesh left on his body.
"Doesn't this guy... feel any pain?" Liu Qiuyan asked instinctively upon seeing this scene.
He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes that the body-tempering power brought to his body.
He was completely unaware that the disciples outside were looking at him as if he were a monster.
Until a crisp notification sound rang in my mind.
Ding!
[Pain Immunity (White → Green)]: An inner disciple of the Iron Bone Sect has always believed that your pain tolerance is extraordinary. Your tolerance to any injury has been greatly increased.
"???"
"What's going on?"
Lu Yuan then opened his eyes.
Looking down, he saw that his entire body had been corroded by the pool water, leaving hardly any healthy flesh.
The body is still growing new flesh.
The terms "Pain Immunity (Green)" and "Hercules Arm (Blue)" were flashing wildly.
"Damn! It's like this now, so it's because of the keyword. No wonder I couldn't feel the pain!"
He looked back.
Many inner disciples stopped cultivating and stared at him.
"So that's how this entry was upgraded!"
Just now, Lu Yuan could clearly feel the tempering effect of the pool water on his body's meridians.
With the circulation of his internal energy, he felt his meridians expand by more than double.
This time, with his eyes closed, he digested the effects of the tempering process while heading towards the deepest part of the tempering area.
But who knew that they had reached the edge of the cave?
He glanced at the cave at the source of the pool of water.
Bottomless.
It stretches as far as the eye can see.
"Although I can't feel any pain, given my current physical condition, going any deeper would definitely do more harm than good."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan decided to leave the deep water area first.
Just as he began to move,
When moving towards the shallow water area,
"Awoo!"
A sound resembling both a tiger's and a deer's roar rang out from behind Lu Yuan.
This sound was unlike any animal call Lu Yuan had ever heard.
The sound is extremely penetrating.
"This is?"
Lu Yuan was about to turn around.
Suddenly, the surface of the pool beneath his feet began to shake violently.
The violent shaking caused the disciples in the pool to lose their footing and fall into the water one by one.
The disciples in the shallow water area are doing well.
The water was only knee-deep.
But Lu Yuan wasn't so lucky.
He lost his balance and instantly fell into the huge cavern behind him.
