After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

boom!

She used an invisible force to push another stone of the same size in front of Xu Ze.

"Now, try to get them moving."

"Move...move?" Xu Ze had a bad feeling.

"Yes, like this."

Before Ding Wan could finish speaking, the two giant spheres seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand and began to slowly roll around Xu Ze.

Suddenly, the distance between the stone spheres instantly decreased!

Xu Ze was terrified and could only jump desperately on the two constantly moving spheres. Fortunately, thanks to his previous training, he was still able to barely maintain his balance.

He didn't stop complaining either, lamenting endlessly:

"Teacher, it's too fast! Slow down!"

The next second, the stone ball, which had been rolling normally, suddenly accelerated.

It's practically grinding sparks off the ground.

Xu Ze was instantly drenched in sweat, jumping desperately on top of it, and now he didn't even have time to utter a single word.

That woman was too ruthless!

Ding Wan doesn't seem to have any intention of letting him off the hook.

"then."

Another stone ball, about half a person's height, flew directly towards Xu Ze. It was unclear when it was carved.

He was on high alert, but he had no chance to beg for mercy.

Xu Ze either catches it or gets crushed into mincemeat!

After desperately catching the two-thousand-pound boulder on the rolling stone ball, Xu Ze's internal energy trembled violently for a moment.

This is already the limit that the body is pushing to survive!

Even so, after only a few breaths, he still slid off the surface of the stone ball, and the boulder in his hand also fell off.

At the critical moment, an invisible force held the stone in place and floated it aside.

Xu Ze fell hard to the ground, getting a mouthful of mud.

Although he wasn't hit, he still couldn't help but complain:

"Teacher, if you want to clean house, you don't need to go to such lengths."

"It's all because you're too useless!" Ding Wan's temper flared up, and she sneered, "If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't even need half a breath!"

"But that's really asking too much of anyone." Xu Ze knew the other person meant well, and sighed helplessly.

"I cannot do it..."

Before he could finish speaking, the woman in front of him glared at him and said, "All you do is talk nonsense!"

After a long silence, Xu Ze remained lying there listlessly. His body, which was on the verge of collapse, could barely stand up once it stopped.

He could only try to cling tightly to the surface of the stone ball with his arms and legs to maintain his balance.

"Come with me."

After a long silence, Ding Wan took the lead and walked down the mountain.

Xu Ze struggled for a long time with his disobedient body before finally managing to catch up.

Because a "ball-playing immortal" appeared in this preparatory gate, the house has been much quieter for the past few days. Everyone has gone to the mountain to carve their favorite "magical implements," and there is no one here now.

Ding Wan walked into the main room first, throwing out a single word without turning her head:

"Take it off."

When Xu Ze entered the room, he thought he had misheard.

After repeatedly confirming that there was nothing wrong with his ears, he cautiously asked:

"Teacher...isn't this a bit too sudden?"

In an instant, a chilling killing intent, as real as a physical force, enveloped him, its bone-chilling cold penetrating his very being!

Xu Ze immediately took off his clothes obediently and sat down properly.

There's nothing I can do!

Given the disparity in strength, we can only let them do as they please!

He slowly closed his eyes, his face filled with a resigned and tragic air, and uttered two words:

"bring it on."

Boom!

A wooden barrel, about half a person's height, flew out from somewhere and landed in front of him.

Ding Wan used her divine sense to search through the storage bag and finally found the herb with the least medicinal power. She then prepared it according to the "body tempering medicinal bath" she remembered from the Qi Refining stage and added it to the bucket.

"I wonder how effective it will be..."

She had no time to think about anything else.

Just looking at that guy's expression made me feel inexplicably angry.

Ding Wan, filled with hatred, crushed the jade bottle in her hand and increased the dosage of a certain medicinal herb tenfold.

"Go in."

Chapter 14 Marrow Cleansing, Breakthrough

Xu Ze stared blankly at the large bucket of medicine in front of him, then glanced at the slender figure with her back to him.

He tested the water temperature and was about to wait for it to cool down a bit before going in.

The next second, an irresistible and overwhelming force shoved him into the bucket!

"Ow-!!"

In an instant, shouts like air raid sirens echoed across the nameless peak.

On the mountaintop, the people who were chiseling the ball heard it and asked Sun Dehai what the sound was.

"The mountain god has appeared! It must be the mountain god!"

Led by him, everyone knelt down in unison.

The sound lasted for almost half an hour, making everyone even more convinced that it was the mountain god who made the noise, something that a normal person could not possibly do!

Xu Ze had already fainted in the bucket.

Ding Wan remained expressionless, but she was puzzled. It was just a tiny increase in the dosage, yet the effect was so good?

Judging from this kid's progress in body tempering, he's already done it in ten or eight medicinal baths like an ordinary person!

"She's sleeping comfortably? Hmm, looks like I'll have to increase the dosage."

She expressed her satisfaction with this.

Seeing students' learning efficiency improve by leaps and bounds naturally gives teachers a sense of accomplishment.

The essence of cultivating immortality is nothing more than taking a shortcut to success.

If you don't rush the schedule, plenty of others will!

"Rest for half a day today to absorb the medicinal effects. If you're still alive tomorrow, continue up the mountain and practice what we did today."

Upon waking up, Xu Ze could only remember this "gentle" instruction.

Looking out the window, it was already dark; he seemed to have been soaking in the tub all night.

When the group from the Preparatory Sect returned, no one dared to disturb him. After all, it was normal for mortals like them not to understand what immortals did.

For example, sleeping while taking a shower?

Perhaps it is some kind of mysterious practice.

Only Xiao Li had left him food, which was placed on the table, along with a fragrant grilled fish.

He felt incredibly hungry and, without even bothering to put on his clothes, wolfed down the spirit rice and spirit fish, which finally made him feel a little better.

A feeling of complete comfort spread through Xu Ze's body.

This feeling is unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

It was even stronger than when he first broke through to the Qi Refining stage, as if his physique had risen to a new level.

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 2]

The information on the system panel confirmed Xu Ze's feelings.

Although it's still the early stage of Qi Refining, this breakthrough brings more than just a change in cultivation level.

His skin was an unnatural reddish hue, and his body, which had been damaged by training, was healing at a visible speed. His muscles and bones were throbbing with joy, undergoing a profound transformation.

The biggest changes are in the five internal organs and eight meridians. Now, when circulating a small cycle, the true qi can quickly complete a full cycle without any feeling of stagnation or obstruction.

"Is this the real marrow cleansing?"

He looked at the impurities expelled from his body inside the bucket, and at the differences in his body.

Xu Ze suddenly remembered the effect of the "Marrow Cleansing Fluid" that Bai Yuxi had described to him when he last entered the game. It was exactly like this!

Sure enough, the medicine I took that time was indeed a joy pill!

He was still wondering whether He Yundao or Bai Yuxi had a problem.

It now seems that both of them have serious problems, and nothing they say can be trusted.

Right now, there are only a little over half a month left until the dead of winter.

The time for Biyang Sect to recruit disciples is fast approaching.

Xu Ze went to the pond and washed off the remaining impurities on his body—not long ago, Ding Wan had already restored the backyard to its original state.

It's another place of green hills and clear waters, lush and verdant.
