Chapter 304 Going to Bars, Going to Bars, Gritting My Teeth
She had also heard that it was extremely painful to wash away one's mortal body, and that one had to endure the pain.
But no one told her that it hurt too much.
The pain was so intense that every muscle in her body trembled, and her teeth chattered.
From a small hut on the shore of the pond, an indifferent-looking immortal emerged and coldly glanced at Zhong Lingxin: "Newcomer, hand over your identity token?"
Zhong Lingxin reached into her storage ring and rummaged through it.
Beside her, an immortal emerged from the pool, grinning with a set of large white teeth, and said to Zhong Lingxin, "A white nameplate will be automatically generated after you ascend. It is your identity nameplate in the immortal realm."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingxin quickly took out a white nameplate and handed it over.
The indifferent immortal nodded and instructed, "This is the Cleansing Immortal Pool, the place where all immortals ascend. You can soak here for as long as possible, as it will wash away your mortal bones. When you can no longer soak, come back to retrieve your identity tokens."
Zhong Lingxin replied tremblingly, "I understand... thank you!"
The indifferent immortal glanced at Zhong Lingxin.
This female fairy is nice; at least she's very polite.
The male cultivator who popped his head out of the pool glanced at Zhong Lingxin and laughed, "Go ahead and soak. Try to get your whole body submerged. If it really hurts, come out for some fresh air and then keep soaking. Damn it, it hurts like hell!"
Zhong Lingxin was amused by the male cultivator and said to him, "Thank you!"
On Zhong Lingxin's other side, another male cultivator stepped forward: "My name is Long Shan, I'm new here, what's your name?"
Zhong Lingxin looked at Long Shan and replied, "My name is Zhong Lingxin, and I am a fellow Daoist named Long Shan."
Longshan nodded, watching the skin on his arm crack and heal, then crack again, and winced in pain: "Fellow Daoist Zhong, just soak it slowly. I've been soaking for four days now, and damn it, I probably can't soak it anymore. There are more and more wounds on my body, and they're almost impossible to close."
I heard from the people who went out before that you shouldn't soak the wound anymore once it stops healing, otherwise it will damage your vital essence. Damn it, I've only been soaking for four days.
I'm so depressed.
As soon as he finished speaking, he sank to the bottom of the pool.
The first male cultivator to emerge from the pool introduced himself: "Fellow Daoist Zhong, my name is Cangming, from the Yuanfeng Continent. Today is the third day, and damn it, it hurts more every day."
A female fairy emerged from the pool, glanced at Zhong Lingxin indifferently, and then sank back to the bottom.
Cangming laughed and said, "She came on the same day as Longshan. Her name is Gu Li. She's quite formidable. I've only seen her show her face twice in the three days I've been here."
Zhong Lingxin turned her head and looked around, only to see seven people soaking in the pool.
The three people were quite far away and didn't even glance at Zhong Lingxin, who had just ascended.
Cangming saw Zhong Lingxin looking around at her surroundings, then suddenly sank his head and dived into the water as well.
Zhong Lingxin followed their example and submerged her entire body in the water.
As soon as she plunged her head in, Zhong Lingxin felt as if an axe was chopping at her consciousness.
She instinctively wanted to pop her head out, but saw that everyone in the pool was completely still and focused, so she could only grit her teeth and remain still as well.
The Immortal Cleansing Pool was quiet.
Zhong Lingxin felt that time was passing extremely slowly, so slowly that the sun above the Immortal Cleansing Pool seemed to never move westward.
She didn't know how much time had passed, and Zhong Lingxin had groaned countless times in her heart before she finally saw the sun set on the distant horizon.
The immortal named Longshan shouted and leaped out of the Immortal Cleansing Pool. As his feet landed, everyone could clearly see blood dripping from his legs.
Longshan took a deep breath and cupped his hands to the people in the Cleansing Immortal Pool: "Brother Longshan is dull-witted and cannot soak for as long as you fellow Daoists. I will take my leave first. If we meet again in the future, I hope you will remember that we soaked in the Cleansing Immortal Pool together today and help me out."
Everyone bowed to Longshan.
Cangming sighed, "Not good, not bad, just average."
I heard that the longest one can soak for nine days.
Sigh, I guess I'll just have to go to bars, even if it means gritting my teeth!
Soak it as much as possible.
Everyone fell silent and continued soaking in the pool.
The next day, another immortal couldn't resist leaping out of the Immortal Cleansing Pool.
Zhong Lingxin looked over and saw that Cangming could still hold back, and Gu Li could also hold back, but the two people on the other side were clearly about to lose their temper, and they were staying on the surface of the water for longer and longer periods of time.
On the third day, the two also left the Immortal Cleansing Pool.
On the same day, two more cultivators from the lower realms fell into the Immortal Cleansing Pool, crying out in pain.
Zhong Lingxin looked at her arm and felt it was okay; there was no cracking of the skin.
She thought it might be because she had practiced body tempering.
However, the pain gradually intensified, and she couldn't help but grimace several times.
To alleviate the pain, especially the pain in her mind, she silently practiced "Soul Slayer".
The Phoenix Harp had by this time been upgraded to a celestial artifact.
Zhong Lingxin dared not take it out, but silently imagined playing it in her heart.
As she played more, she gradually forgot the pain, playing the music in her mind again and again.
Gu Li has already left.
Cangming also stood up, glanced at Zhong Lingxin, and wanted to say goodbye.
But when he saw that Zhong Lingxin was asleep as if she were in a magical bath, he only gave a silent praise and left on his own.
Several more people fell into the Immortal Cleansing Pool, completely unaware of it.
She just kept silently playing "Soul Killer" in her mind over and over again.
It wasn't until this day, when her body floated to the surface of the water on its own, that she opened her eyes.
She rummaged around in the bathwater a couple of times and felt no pain whatsoever.
She was a little confused; why didn't it hurt anymore?
From the hut on the shore, the indifferent-looking immortal emerged once more.
However, this time his expression was not indifferent at all, but rather carried a friendly smile: "Fairy Zhong Lingxin, please, please, you have soaked for nine days, it's time to get up."
Zhong Lingxin suddenly realized that she had soaked for a long time.
Will the pain subside if I soak it for a sufficient amount of time?
do not know.
The records passed down from our predecessors do not mention soaking for a full nine days.
Zhong Lingxin leaped out of the Immortal Cleansing Pool.
Several immortals came out to greet them from the small house on the shore.
"Fairy Zhong, please come in! Fairy Zhong, do you have a family in the Immortal Realm? Fairy Zhong, I am from the City Lord's Mansion of Ascension City, my name is..."
“Fairy Zhong, I am from the Yuwen family, the largest family in the Southern Realm. Fairy Zhong, if you have nowhere to go, come to our Yuwen family, I promise…”
"What do you guarantee? What can you guarantee! You're not the head of the Yuwen family, nor are you their ancestor. Fairy Zhong, I'm Qin Weinan, a squad leader in the Left Guard, the largest army under the Southern Realm Immortal Emperor. You can just call me Captain Qin. Fairy Zhong, with your ability to soak through the Nine Heavens, you're definitely a pillar of our Southern Realm's future. Our Left Guard has the most resources and the fastest promotions. Only by joining our Southern Realm's Left Guard can you maximize your growth and training..."
