The news that Liu Yuan surpassed Mu Bingcheng at the last minute spread like wildfire.
While the public was boiling, he quietly returned to his residence. It was quite interesting to think about what he had just experienced.
Just when he entered Gongde Square, he met an acquaintance:
——Three heroes of the Trial Cave.
Most of their poison has been cured, but they are still relatively sluggish and look even more insignificant among the crowd.
That day, when the three of them woke up, they found that the storage bag had been taken away. They couldn't help but cursed Liu Yuan for not practicing martial ethics and conducting a sneak attack.
So, they gathered a few friends to block the entrance of the trial cave, trying to regain their place.
But half a month later, there was still no sign of anyone, so they concluded that the guy had run out on the day of the incident.
Unexpectedly, the road between enemies is narrow.
The three of them surrounded Liu Yuan.
"I didn't expect it. If you don't look up or look down, you dare to mess with our three brothers. Let's see how you run away this time."
"I borrowed it, I'm going to redeem the contribution points."
"Don't think that because private fighting is prohibited in Gongdefang, you kid can escape," the three of them followed Liu Yuan closely. "When we get outside, it's us who have the final say. Then I'll let you know how to write the word death!"
"Okay, after I finish redeeming the token, I will learn how to write death." Liu Yuan smiled at the three of them, and this strange reaction made them a little confused.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"Look, the second place's contribution value has changed!"
"So this person is Liu Yuan." Everyone looked at the exchange office curiously. This mysterious Liu Yuan had been discussed for a month, and now they finally saw his true identity.
"Look, the top spot is about to change again."
I saw that next to Liu Yuan's name, the contribution points were rising all the way.
thirteen thousands……
Fifteen thousand……
He quickly passed Mu Bingcheng and showed no sign of stopping.
Finally, the spiritual pool at the top of the list shone brightly,
Twenty thousand!
Amid everyone's admiration and gaze, Liu Yuan turned his head.
"Come on," he faced the three people who were stunned, "please teach me how to write the word death."
…
The next day, Mu Shaohong announced the results of the trial. Liu Yuan overtook Mu Bingcheng on the last day and won the championship.
He said that all the contribution points are open to redemption and can be used as spiritual stones in Fangshi. Of course, Liu Yuan chose to redeem the right to use the spiritual pool once.
Not only that, the contribution points will also be calculated in the subsequent main peak selection, accounting for about 20% of the total. In this way, Liu Yuan already had the upper hand.
However, Liu Yuan is more concerned about the current spiritual pool reward. If he is the only one who reaches the standard, can he monopolize the spiritual pool?
Mu Shaohong took Liu Yuan into the forbidden area of the Trial Valley and walked through a winding and rugged path. He found that the concentration of spiritual energy here was rising sharply, and even though he was calm, he couldn't help but feel excited.
In the mist, the spiritual pool appeared in front of you.
Two years of hard work finally paid off.
But the next moment he realized that he was too naive.
There are already more than a dozen young disciples waiting next to the Lingchi. It seems that most of them know each other and are chatting with each other. When they saw the unfamiliar face of Liu Yuan, they also looked at each other.
After being stunned for a moment, a young man with good temperament stood out from the crowd. He bowed his hands to Liu Yuan in a graceful manner and said: "This friend must be Liu Yuan. I am Mu Bingcheng, and I have become a close friend of Brother Liu." It’s been a long time, I must ask for advice when I have time.”
The other party treated each other with courtesy, and Liu Yuan couldn't say anything, so he just bowed his hands in greeting. However, when he looked at Mu Shaohong, his questioning look was clear: Don't you have to contribute 20,000 yuan to get in?
Mu Shaohong explained a little awkwardly: "Every year, the two major families have quotas to enter the spiritual pool baptism."
Liu Yuan suddenly realized that the people waiting here were all disciples of the right age from the Muren family. The family indeed had unique resource advantages. No wonder the passing rate of disciples with foreign surnames who participated in the selection was so low.
It seems that class differences have existed throughout history and today, and there has never been any fairness. He couldn't help but sigh.
Mu Shaohong did not waste any more time and briefly explained the precautions and requirements for refining the spirit pool:
Since the Lingchi pool gathers the fairy spiritual energy flowing down from the main peak all the year round, there is a peculiar landscape of crystallization in the water. These crystals are the essence of the Lingchi pool. They are suspended in the pool and are absorbed by the refining disciples every year. Accumulate for another year, and the cycle begins again.
The purification lasts for one day. During this period, any disciples can only sit quietly in the pool and adjust their breath, use their spiritual power to absorb the immortal energy crystals, and are not allowed to use any spells or other props, nor are they allowed to release spiritual pets to maintain the purity of the pool water.
When he said this, Mu Shaohong glanced at Liu Yuan casually, as if to warn him not to mess around with ants.
After saying that, Mu Shaohong announced that the spiritual pool would be opened immediately, and all the disciples rushed into the water for fear of being a step too late.
The water in the pool was about half a person's height, and the crystals were evenly distributed. So everyone found a seat and began to meditate, feeling the abundant spiritual energy that was about to overflow. Everyone was beaming with joy.
The spirit pool quickly returned to silence. The mist that had been dispersed once again covered the entire spirit pool, and only the faint head could be seen. In order to have more contact with the pool water, everyone only exposed half of their heads to breathe. Some disciples were completely immersed in the water and only came out to breathe after a while.
Mu Shaohong was on duty at the shore. He soon discovered that although Liu Yuan's spiritual roots were the lowest, the crystallization and absorption speed around him was the fastest. He used the probing technique to scan, but found nothing unusual, so Mu Shaohong had no choice but to give up.
Only Liu Yuan or Ren Jingzong can answer this question, that is, the existence of a spiritual body. Because his spiritual body also has a set of spiritual veins connected to the main body, it is equivalent to two bodies absorbing, which not only makes up for the lack of spiritual roots, but also Faster than others.
Moreover, although the ant colony was not released, the grouper ants were kept busy while hiding in their spiritual bodies.
Generally speaking, when the speed of body surface absorption is greater than the speed of transformation and fusion in the body, the entire process will slow down until it stabilizes at a certain speed. This is the case for most people in a pool full of spiritual energy.
However, the grouper ants speed up this process. They work diligently in the veins, constantly transporting the spiritual energy in the enriched area, evacuating it to other areas, stimulating, massaging, and clearing blockages. and some slow branches.
I saw that Liu Yuan's spiritual power had been rising rapidly, quickly making up for the part that had been lost since the injury, and went a step further, directly breaking through the ninth level of Qi refining.
After more than half a day like this, Mu Shaohong discovered that the spiritual energy crystals were almost exhausted. Originally, the quota for each year was limited to twelve or thirteen people, which could just absorb the spiritual energy crystals accumulated throughout the year.
But in the later stage, as the transformation of others was uneven and the absorption speed slowed down, Liu Yuan's advantage became more and more obvious.
While everyone's faces turned red, their breathing was rapid, and even some were trembling slightly, Liu Yuan remained as calm as still water, with a steady breath.
Finally, the spiritual energy crystals were completely exhausted and the water in the pool was as clear as ever. At this time, the sun was just setting in the west.
Liu Yuan opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of thick air. He has now absorbed the total amount of three to four people, and is only one step away from reaching the peak of the ninth level of Dzogchen.
