Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 17: Taoism and Heart Refining
Just like the first time, the naked Lin Po jumped directly into the pool of blood.

The same high temperature, medicinal effects and soul beast resentment as before, but the experienced Lin Po was not at all panicked and began to practice diligently step by step.

Because of the improvement of his own foundation and the effectiveness of the Yin-Yang Meridian, this baptism was smoother than the first one.

Lin Po even had the leisure to think about why Zhongli Wu would set a time limit of two hours for him. Based on Zhongli Wu's understanding of him, he should not underestimate him.

Soon, he knew why.

Lin Po was practicing with ease in the blood pool, while Zhongli Wu was calculating the time on the side.

"It's been almost an hour. This brat, I'm going to make you suffer a little bit."

Suddenly, a medicinal force that was more than ten times stronger than before rushed into Lin Po's body, instantly breaking the balance in his body.

Lin Po was in a panic for a moment and accelerated the operation of the Yin-Yang Meridian in an attempt to maintain balance again.

Immediately afterwards, even more powerful soul beast resentment followed. The original soul beast resentment was at most at the Soul King level, but now the resentment has reached the Soul Saint level.

Even with Lin Po's mental power close to the Soul Douluo level, he dare not underestimate him easily.

In comparison, the rise in the blood pool's temperature is a minor matter.

Lin Po was struggling in the blood pool, trying his best to find and maintain his balance, while secretly cursing Zhongli Wu, the unreliable teacher. Couldn't he have told him in advance, leaving him completely unprepared?

Half an hour later, the Yin Yang Meridian had reached its limit, and Lin Po, who had re-established the balance in his body, tried his best to maintain it.

'It seems that two hours is indeed the limit. If the effect of the blood pool increases in the third hour, I will definitely not be able to hold on.

The accumulation of medicinal power in the body is easy to deal with, but if the resentment of the soul beast exceeds the limit of one's tolerance and pollutes one's sea of ​​consciousness, then it will be a big problem. I don't have Grandpa Alex to protect my sea of ​​consciousness now.

Lin Po, trying to find joy in misery, was thinking about the plan to kidnap Alex while struggling in the blood pool.

Three hours is impossible. He must hold on for two hours and not give Zhongli Wu a chance to teach him a lesson.

After another half an hour, Lin Po decided to experience the effect of the blood pool after the second enhancement. If it was just one wave, Lin Po believed that he could withstand it.

It can also accumulate experience for the next blood pool baptism.

Lin Po was concentrating his mind, waiting for the blood pool to be strengthened for the second time.

The triple impact arrived on time, and Lin Po couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Just as he expected, the drug's power was even stronger, capable of severing a Soul Emperor's entire meridian system. The Soul Beast's resentment had also reached Soul Douluo level, forcing Lin Po to use an external Soul Bone to counter it.

Seeing that Lin Po could not hold on any longer, Zhongli Wu waved his hand and pulled him out.

The naked Lin Po sat cross-legged on the ground, working hard to refine the medicinal power and remove the resentment of the soul beast in his sea of ​​consciousness.

After leaving the blood pool, the medicinal power and resentment were like rootless duckweed, no longer posing any threat.

It only took an hour for Lin Po to digest it all.

As soon as Lin Po opened his eyes, he saw Zhongli Wu's strange look.

Looking down, Lin Po blushed and quickly stood up and put on his clothes.

"Teacher, this is really not nice of you. You didn't even tell me such important information as the blood pool's effect increases every hour. Aren't you afraid of ruining me?"

After putting on his clothes, Lin Po complained to Zhongli Wu.

"I know that even if the effect is enhanced, you can still bear it."

Zhongli Wu said with a nonchalant look on his face.

Looking at the disrespectful teacher in front of him, Lin Po was so angry that his teeth were itching.

"Alright, alright, tell me about your harvest."

Lin Po put aside the thought of how to torture the teacher and carefully sensed his own body.

"His physical strength should be comparable to that of a Beast Soul Saint. His mental strength is considered to be at the beginning of Soul Douluo, only one step away from becoming a tangible and intangible being. His soul power has also increased by one level, so he is not far from level 36."

Zhongli Wu looked excited after hearing this.

"Good, good. You are worthy of being my disciple."

After a moment, he said with a strange look on his face, "You're almost level 36. At your training speed, you can reach level 40 in a year at most.

A 10-year-old Soul Sect member, wow, even the Holy Spirit Sect has never produced such a genius."

Lin Po secretly complained to himself, it wouldn't take a year, he should be able to break through to level 40 in about half a year. Now he needs to consider what kind of soul beast he needs for the fourth soul ring.

The two of them walked out of the secret room, one in front and the other behind, one thinking about what kind of soul beast he needed and the other imagining the bright future of the Holy Spirit Church.

When they returned to the Holy Spirit Church Hall, two elders were already waiting inside. It seemed that there was something important that needed Zhongli Wu's decision.

Lin Po didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the sect now, so he resigned to Zhongli Wu and prepared to go back to reflect on what he had gained this time.

Zhongli Wu knew what this disciple was thinking, and he had no intention of forcing him to take over. After all, he was still around, and he didn't want to let him waste his time in cultivation, which would be counterproductive.

"Okay, you go back first, and we'll continue training tomorrow."

After hearing this, Lin Po nodded repeatedly, and then smiled and nodded at the two elders.

The two old guys also responded with an ugly smile.

Lin Po twitched his lips and walked out of the hall. Even after so long, Lin Po still couldn't accept the smiles of these evil soul masters. They were too ugly.

I returned to my own yard, lay back in the rocking chair, and looked at the sky dyed golden by the setting sun. My mood became calmer.

Meditation is the secret to enlightenment.

Unconsciously, the practice of Yin Yang Sutra had made a small step forward.

The Yin-Yang Sutra has not made any progress for a long time, so this small step forward seems even more precious.

After discovering this, Lin Po began to pay attention to the cultivation of his state of mind. Although he cared about this before, he thought that his strength was low and it was too early to cultivate his state of mind.

However, he overlooked one point. The practice of Taoist practitioners is to refine the mind first and then the qi. The strength of the mind is the real strength.

Lin Po also added heart training to his daily practice.

However, he did not have any good method to cultivate his mind. Finally, he decided to refer to the practice of Taoist priests in his previous life. He sat in meditation for an hour every morning and sunset, silently reciting the meditation techniques.

Lin Po, who has studied Taoist culture for some time, actually remembers the full text of the Jingxin Jue.

After determining the time and content of the practice, Lin Po suddenly felt a little worried that such practice would make him insane. Practicing Taoist techniques does not mean wanting to be detached from the world.

I finally have a dream, and you won’t let me be an ordinary person?

The most important thing is that he still wants revenge. What if he accidentally becomes a saint and gives up revenge?

After thinking for a long time, Lin Po suddenly had an idea and remembered the new-age Taoist priests in his previous life who were far ahead in spiritual state.

"If you curse out loud, your heart will be clean; if you keep curse words in your heart, your heart will be dirty."

"Tao follows nature: do whatever you want, the main theme is to follow your heart."

"If you don't take revenge, the inner demon will never go away."

Lin Po became more and more excited the more he recalled it. He engraved these Taoist quotations firmly in his mind. From then on, every time he completed his mind training, he would recite them silently three times to prove his Taoist heart.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Po decided to start cultivating his mind from today.

After a bath, Lin Po sat cross-legged on the training platform wearing only his underwear and began his first meditation.

'The ice is cold for a thousand years, and all things are still;

The mind should be calm and hope that I am alone;
'

An hour passed in a flash.

Lin Po opened his eyes. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but his eyes seemed brighter than before.

"It seems the results are remarkable. It's truly worthy of being left behind by my charming ancestors."
