Chapter 389 Return to the Bottom of the Pond

Doctor Xue stood by the Yueyin Lake and looked at it for a while, then took out a small booklet and a brush from his arms, licked the tip of the brush, and wrote something on it.

Li Xuan was curious, jumped off Zhao Feng's shoulder, walked to Doctor Xue's feet and looked into the lake.

But the water became darker and darker as he went deeper, so it was hard to see clearly.

The black lotus seed that Doctor Xue threw in had long disappeared.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Doctor Xue blankly, wondering what he was writing here.

But given the old man's temperament, he must have his reasons.

In terms of his profession, Doctor Xue had never made any mistakes.

Doctor Xue walked around Yueyin Lake, stopped and started, and wrote a few words from time to time, and finally stopped writing after a long time.

"Ah Xuan, it's your turn next." Doctor Xue smiled at Li Xuan maliciously.

Cultivating the Ziwu Lotus is also very beneficial to Li Xuan. He followed and was ready to contribute. He immediately asked:

"What do you need me to do?"

Doctor Xue squatted down, moved closer to Li Xuan, and said:

"It's not difficult. You just go down and help me find the lotus seeds."

Li Xuan stared at Doctor Xue with a stern face, scolding him with his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm doing this to raise the Ziwu Lotus."

"And I heard that you have been in these two pools. It shouldn't be difficult for you."

Doctor Xue persuaded Li Xuan to get in the water quickly.

Li Xuan looked at Doctor Xue, and then at Zhao Feng who was indifferent in the distance. He knew that he had to go down himself.

Anyway, he was more curious about the Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond in front of him, so he went down to find out.

"Can I just bring the lotus seeds up?"

Li Xuan confirmed with Doctor Xue before going into the water.

Doctor Xue nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's very simple."

"Of course, if possible, let the lotus seed sink for a while, observe carefully, and bring it back when you can't hold on any longer."

Hearing this, Doctor Xue seemed not to simply throw the lotus seed in for fun. Li Xuan nodded in agreement, and then jumped into the Moon Pond with a splash to find the small black lotus seed.

Seeing Li Xuan go into the water, Doctor Xue stood up and stared carefully at the small shadow in the pool until it merged with the darkness of the pool and could no longer be distinguished.

At this time, Zhao Feng came to Doctor Xue's side without knowing when, and the two looked into the pool seriously together.

"Doctor Xue, what is the success rate?"

"It's hard to say, we have to take a good look before we can make a conclusion."

The two looked expressionless and patiently looked at the dark water under their feet.

...

After soaking in the Moon Pond again, Li Xuan no longer felt the discomfort he had last time, but felt comfortable all over.

At this moment, Li Xuan finally understood that the coldness of Yueyin Lake was different from the coldness in Princess Ankang's body. It had nothing to do with ice coldness, but was filled with extremely yin energy.

These were two completely different ways of cooling.

Li Xuan was only able to clearly distinguish the difference between the two after he was equipped with Yin-Yang Qi.

In terms of the source of power, this was completely different, but in terms of performance, there was a similar sense of coldness.

The extremely yin energy in Yueyin Lake flowed into Li Xuan's body, making his Yin-Yang Qi become much more active, and it grew much faster than when he usually absorbed the five elements of heaven and earth.

"This Sun and Moon Yin-Yang Lake is a good place to practice Yin-Yang Qi. I have to come here often in the future."

Li Xuan pawed at the water with his four paws and swam to the bottom of the pool.

The deeper he went, the thicker the extremely yin energy in the pool water became.

The Yin-Yang Qi in Li Xuan's body also circulated faster and faster.

"Compared to the five elements of power scattered between heaven and earth, these pure extreme yin qi are easier to absorb."

"On the two days of each month when the Sun and Moon Yin and Yang Pond is most effective, can we practice faster?"

Although the progress of practicing Yin and Yang Zhenji Jue is not slow during this period, it would be better if we can make it better.

Now, Yin and Yang Zhenji Jue can make two or three points of progress every day, which is much faster than the two previous Qi-sensing techniques.

The practice of Yin and Yang Zhenji Jue is much easier than the previous techniques.

Since Li Xuan mastered this technique, the Yin and Yang Qi in his body has been constantly absorbing the five elements of power between heaven and earth, transforming it into Yin and Yang Qi, which has slowly improved his strength.

The Yin and Yang Qi in his body has increased a lot compared to when he just broke through.

Such a comfortable practice method made Li Xuan wonder if the two beans he had eaten before had not been digested.

When Li Xuan was concentrating on practicing the Yin-Yang True Extreme Technique, he could only slightly speed up the increase of Yin-Yang Qi, which was not too obvious.

Therefore, Li Xuan would practice the technique when he had nothing to do, and then let the technique run passively when he needed to do other things, which did not delay his practice at all.

Such a comfortable way of cultivation also made Li Xuan feel that the previous hard work was not in vain.

He endured such a slow progress of cultivation and did not give up. It can be said that every effort is worth every harvest.

"The cultivation of Yin Yang Zhenji Jue is not a problem, and it is also a natural process to reach the perfect state."

"Just so smooth can break through to the fifth level?"

Li Xuan felt a little skeptical about this.

After all, it is not true that the more you practice, the easier it is to break through.

While Li Xuan was diving, he was thinking about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up and saw the lotus seeds that Doctor Xue had thrown down before.

The speed of the lotus seeds sinking was far slower than Li Xuan's diving speed, so he quickly caught up.

But Li Xuan was not in a hurry to go back. He still remembered Doctor Xue's previous instructions to him, asking him to observe as much as possible.

The water in Yueyin Lake is not ordinary water, so the speed of the lotus seeds sinking seems a bit slow.

Li Xuan swam around beside it, looking at the changes in the lotus seeds.

The lotus seeds were pitch black, and they looked very similar to the black chess pieces that the three little ones always played with.

From the naked eye, the lotus seeds did not have any special changes, but just slowly sank in the water.

But if Li Xuan concentrated, he could sense that the lotus seeds were absorbing the extremely yin energy in an imperceptible way.

"Oh, if it can absorb nutrients, it can be cultivated."

Li Xuan was delighted, and he sank silently with the lotus seeds.

As the extremely yin energy became more concentrated, the speed of the lotus seeds' absorption also changed.

It gradually became stronger from weak at the beginning, but then when it approached the bottom of the Yueyin Lake, the speed slowed down again, until it finally touched the bottom, and the lotus seeds no longer absorbed the extremely yin energy in the lake.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Is it because the extremely yin energy around is too strong?"

Li Xuan looked at the lotus seeds that did not react at all. No matter how he observed, he could no longer sense that the lotus seeds were still absorbing the extremely yin energy.

He silently memorized all these details, intending to let Doctor Xue study them himself after he went up.

After Li Xuan put the lotus seeds into the Emperor Hong bone ring, he did not leave in a hurry.

Unlike the last time he came here, Li Xuan was very comfortable this time.

The Yin and Yang Qi in his body was cheering, and the progress of the Yin and Yang Zhenji Jue was visibly faster.

Li Xuan stayed here for more than half a month, and estimated that the Yin and Yang Zhenji Jue would be complete.

"I have to talk to Zhao Feng when I go up later, and let him talk to Emperor Yongyuan."

"It's good for them to improve my cultivation quickly."

Compared to the last time when he was almost fainted by the icy cold, Li Xuan now only felt a burst of cold.

But Li Xuan also understood that the pain last time greatly strengthened his body, which was also the price of becoming stronger.

And this time, Li Xuan finally had the opportunity to observe the bottom of Yueyin Lake carefully.

The bottom of Yueyin Lake was made of unknown materials.

Li Xuan stood on it and could only feel a chill, which came from the rich and extremely yin energy.

He could clearly see that the ground under his feet was engraved with complicated patterns.

If Li Xuan was not wrong, this should be some kind of formation.

It was also this formation that allowed Yueyin Lake to continuously absorb the extremely yin energy.

However, Li Xuan could not tell whether the absorbed extremely yin energy was stored or used for other purposes.

But thinking that the water in Yueyin Lake was not getting colder and colder, but was changing regularly every month, Li Xuan guessed that the extremely yin energy was not retained in Yueyin Lake.

Otherwise, the extremely yin energy in Yueyin Lake should be much richer than it is now.

The bottom of Yueyin Lake was very dark, and Li Xuan could only see the area less than three feet under his feet with his eyesight.

Li Xuan paced slowly under it, carefully examining the formation engraved here.

However, the complexity of this formation was far beyond his imagination. After reading it for a while, he felt dizzy and his brain was throbbing, as if he was pricked by needles.

Li Xuan quickly closed his eyes and dared not look any further.

With his current cultivation, it is impossible for him to get sick suddenly. It is likely that it is still the problem of this formation.

"Well, it hurts..."

This is the first time that Li Xuan has encountered such a situation.

He had thought about why these ordinary patterns would produce such magical power after being constructed together.

But now it seems that there is indeed a power that he cannot understand now to support the formation.

Li Xuan can only see that there is a very strong and extremely yin energy in this formation that is running according to a certain law.

But he dare not look more closely now.

The sudden headache is already a warning from his body, and Li Xuan dare not take any more risks.

"It seems that now is not the time to delve into this formation."

Li Xuan closed his eyes tightly. The headache at this time made the operation of his tortoise breathing method much messy, greatly reducing his diving time.

"No, we have to go up!"

Li Xuan no longer hesitated and immediately swam upwards, but he couldn't help but feel a little unwilling.

After floating up for a distance, Li Xuan dared to open his eyes again.

At this time, his feet were swallowed by darkness again, and he could no longer see the details of the formation.

"It seems that the research on this formation must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

Previously, Li Xuan was pushed by the practice all the way. In addition to practicing his current skills, he would record other skills when he had the opportunity, so that he could provide them for Princess Ankang to practice in the future.

But now that Li Xuan has cultivated Yin and Yang Qi, his strength has greatly increased, and he has some confidence to breathe.

He was originally very interested in other skills in this world, and he had thought about learning formations and alchemy before.

Now he can put the formation on the agenda first.

"Next time I go to Qianxing Pavilion, I have to find books on this subject, and I have the opportunity to contact talents in this field."

Li Xuan silently made up his mind, and the light above his head was getting closer and closer, and he came out of the water in a short while.

Seeing Li Xuan coming out wet, Zhao Feng immediately waved his hand and used his Qi to bring him to the shore.

Li Xuan used the Yang Qi in his body to dry the water stains on his body, and his fur immediately became dry and refreshing.

"Ah Xuan, what's wrong?"

"Did you find the lotus seeds?"

Doctor Xue asked impatiently.

Li Xuan flicked his tail, and the lotus seeds in the Emperor Hong bone ring flew to Doctor Xue. Doctor Xue grabbed them in a hurry, but his feet slipped and he almost fell into the Yueyin Lake. Fortunately, Zhao Feng used his Qi to support him.

"Ouch..."

"Uh, thank you, thank you, General Manager Zhao."

Doctor Xue was pulled back to the shore in a dangerous situation. While he was still in shock, he did not forget to thank Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng smiled slightly and reminded: "Doctor Xue, watch your step."

After Doctor Xue was pulled up, he concentrated on studying the lotus seeds in his hand, took out the booklet and pen again, and started the second round of recording.

Zhao Feng looked at Li Xuan and asked softly: "Ah Xuan, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhao Feng saw that Li Xuan was not in good spirits after coming up.

"Nothing, just a little headache."

"I saw a formation below, and I looked at it for a while out of curiosity, and then I started to have a headache."

Li Xuan wrote with his tail.

When Zhao Feng saw what Li Xuan wrote, he first glanced at Doctor Xue and found that Doctor Xue was taking notes seriously, then looked at Li Xuan again, and then shook his head slightly.

Li Xuan saw Zhao Feng's hint and frowned, but did not continue to ask.

Obviously, Zhao Feng had something to say but it was not easy to say it in front of Doctor Xue.

It seems that the reason why other people were not allowed to enter and leave this place at will before was not only because Yuqing Pool was the private bath of Emperor Yongyuan, but there should be other reasons.

Li Xuan looked back at the black and white water and understood one thing.

This Sun Moon Yin Yang Pool is not as simple as it seems.

Li Xuan buried this matter in his heart first, and then went to answer Doctor Xue's questions.

Doctor Xue mainly asked Li Xuan about his observations below, and then made detailed records.

After the records were completed, Doctor Xue also made a preliminary judgment.

"It seems that the lotus seeds of this Ziwu Twin Lotus can survive here, but..."

Doctor Xue said, and came to the Riyan Pool on the other side, took a wooden barrel from the side, and took some water from the Riyan Pool.

Then, Doctor Xue threw the black lotus seeds that Li Xuan had found earlier into the wooden barrel.

The water in the Riyan Pool is about to reach its hottest time, and it is abnormally hot even now.

Doctor Xue was not afraid of scalding the lotus seeds that Li Xuan had finally fished out, so he just threw them into the barrel.

The two people and the cat immediately looked over, and found that the black lotus seeds that had been relatively quiet in the Moon Shadow Pond before suddenly became restless and began to tremble violently in the barrel, as if they were about to explode at any time.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this okay?"

Li Xuan patted Doctor Xue with his tail and asked anxiously.

Doctor Xue said calmly, "Just wait and see."

The black lotus seeds trembled violently in the barrel for a while, and suddenly a crack appeared silently, and then it became much quieter.

Seeing this scene, Doctor Xue twirled his beard and exclaimed:

"The black lotus seeds containing the power of Yin are actually being raised in the Sun Flame Pond!?"
