Chapter 423 Marrow Cleansing
Nangong Jingming's face was also as pale as paper, and his once rosy lips had now turned bloodless. His body trembled slightly due to the pain, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, with the blue veins on the back of his hands bulging high. But his eyes were as firm as a rock standing for a thousand years. He knew that this was a severe test that he had to go through during the marrow cleansing process. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, constantly adjusting his breathing rhythm to allow his body and mind to better adapt to this powerful and somewhat overbearing force. In this difficult moment, he had only one belief in his mind: to persevere and break through himself. He was like a determined warrior, bravely moving forward on the painful battlefield, never retreating.
When the marrow cleansing was finally complete, the two men slowly opened their eyes. Instantly, two strange lights flickered from their eyes, embodying the joy of new life, the confidence of strength, and boundless longing for the future. Their auras also underwent a profound transformation. Su Siyi seemed enveloped in a soft halo, emanating an ethereal aura, as if merging with the surrounding nature, becoming part of it. Each of her movements was light and graceful, as if a gentle breeze could lift her. Every gesture exuded an otherworldly charm, as if she were no longer a mortal, but a fairy from a fairyland. Nangong Jingming, on the other hand, was even more calm and reserved. His eyes were deep and resolute, as if he could see through everything. Every look and every gesture radiated a powerful confidence, a confidence not born of blind arrogance, but rather stemming from a deep understanding of his own strength and a fearlessness of the challenges ahead. At this moment, he was like a towering mountain, steady and unshakable, inspiring awe.
"So dirty! I'm going to take a shower first." Su Siyi looked down at the black, sticky mess that had been expelled from her body, a hint of disgust on her face. The dirt exuded a foul odor, as if years of accumulated impurities within her body were now being completely purged. Without hesitation, she turned and hurriedly ran towards the room, her eagerness as if something terrifying was chasing her. She had only one thought in her mind: to wash away this filth as quickly as possible and feel refreshed again.
Nangong Jingming also looked down at his own body and found that he had also expelled a lot of foul-smelling impurities. He frowned, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He understood that this was an inevitable phenomenon during the marrow cleansing process. The expulsion of these impurities meant that their bodies were becoming purer and stronger. He also hurried to another room, ready to cleanse thoroughly, wash away the filth and welcome the new self. His steps were firm and powerful, as if he was bidding farewell to his past self and stepping into a brighter future.
In reality, their current situation was relatively good. After all, they regularly consumed spiritual spring water, so their bodies were already relatively free of impurities. The primary effect of this marrow cleansing pill was to completely transform their meridians, making them wider and stronger, like widening a narrow stream into a surging river. This widening of their meridians meant they could accommodate more spiritual energy, allowing it to flow more smoothly, laying a more solid foundation for their future cultivation. It was like strengthening the foundation of a high-rise building, allowing it to support higher floors and create greater room for development.
After washing, the two emerged from the room. Their faces were filled with refreshed, satisfied smiles, and their spirits were exceptionally high, as if they hadn't just experienced a painful marrow cleansing, but rather a pleasant one. Their eyes were bright and spirited, their steps light and vigorous, as if they were filled with endless energy.
"Brother Nangong, I feel great. I want to practice for a while, and then we can explore the forest later!" Su Siyi's eyes sparkled with excitement. At this moment, she felt a strong urge to immediately throw herself into practice, to feel the changes in her body, to explore her new abilities. She could almost feel the powerful force within her, eager to be released.
"Yes, I want to practice first, too." Nangong Jingming nodded, his eyes also filled with anticipation. The two of them were in sync, and without further ado, they headed directly towards their respective practice areas. Their steps were firm and powerful, as if declaring their determination to this mysterious world.
Su Siyi walked briskly into her private practice room. The room was filled with rich spiritual energy, like a vast ocean of spiritual power. She sat quietly on the cushion, closed her eyes, and began to channel her spiritual energy. Her breathing became even and deep, as if she were merging with the surrounding spiritual energy. She immersed herself in her practice, feeling the spiritual energy flowing through her body, as if she were exploring a whole new world.
Nangong Jingming arrived near the spiritual spring. The spiritual energy here was so rich that it resembled materialized mist, making it an ideal place for cultivation. The spring water gurgled, emitting a clear and melodious sound, as if playing a beautiful melody for his practice. He slowly sat down, crossed his legs, formed a seal with his hands, and began an immersive meditation practice. The sound of the surrounding spiritual spring water was like the natural sound of nature, calming his mind and allowing him to practice more deeply. He was immersed in the world of cultivation, forgetting the passage of time and feeling as if he had merged with the entire world.
The two were so immersed in their cultivation that they forgot the passage of time. It was not until three days later that they slowly awoke from their state of cultivation.
"Brother Nangong, has your cultivation improved?" Su Siyi looked at Nangong Jingming, her eyes gleaming with affirmation. She could clearly feel the powerful aura emanating from Nangong Jingming, a clear sign of his improved cultivation. Her heart was filled with joy, and she was sincerely happy for Nangong Jingming's growth.
"Well, have you also improved your cultivation?" Nangong Jingming smiled at her, his eyes filled with tenderness and relief. He had also sensed the changes in Su Siyi: her spiritual power had become more mellow, her aura more transcendent. He knew that they had taken another solid step on the path of cultivation. Although the road ahead was full of challenges, they worked together and would be fearless.
