Chapter Twenty-Five: Purging Again

  When Xue Tiannan rushed to the artificial lake, he saw a person standing by the lake from afar, who seemed to be practicing his skills.

  Xue Tiannan stopped at a great distance, and once again sensed the state of the spiritual energy. The result was that he was shocked to discover that all the spiritual energy around him was rushing in that direction.

  How is this possible?

  Xue Tiannan was stunned by this fact.

  He had never heard of a kung fu that could achieve such an effect.

  As society develops, trees are over-cut, rivers and mountains are severely damaged, and more seriously, air pollution has become a huge problem.

  The already extremely thin spiritual energy became even more scarce, and as time went on, it also caused the number of cultivators on the land of Huaxia to decrease, with the Xuanmen becoming weaker and weaker, each generation not as good as the last.

  This problem has actually been troubling all major factions, but although everyone is aware of this issue, they cannot change the situation.

  Those large sects with historical heritage, because of their advantageous location in the blessed land, can still maintain themselves. Small sects are not so lucky, their mountain gates are constantly being occupied and forcibly demolished. In the face of a powerful national machine, they can only choose to retreat. Some people become disheartened and directly disband, completely withdrawing from the world. Others choose to relocate to smaller countries with less pollution and more beautiful environments, where they settle down.

  Qingnang Sect, despite its long history, is only a medium-sized sect overall. Although it has some industries, it's not a land of milk and honey. As society develops, their connection with the secular world becomes increasingly close, making them more like a large conglomerate.

  Bai Cao Yuan Lin is an industry of Qing Nang Cong, which was bought under the name of a real estate development company and belongs to the group's subsidiary.

  The environmental planning here can be said to be one of the best places in Xiangxiang City, not only has it preserved many historical sites, but also planted a large number of precious Chinese medicinal herbs.

  As the territory of Xiangxiang City gradually expands, this place has become a relatively prosperous area. Next to it is the location of the provincial government, and overall, it's not considered a good place for spiritual practice.

  The Qingnang Sect attaches great importance to this place, mainly because in the past, a predecessor had laid down a large-scale spiritual gathering array here. Not only did it contain the spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles, but also absorbed spiritual energy from outside, artificially creating a blessed land.

  This is a big deal, and nowadays it's almost impossible to find people who can complete such a project. Maybe only the major factions have this kind of technology.

  Xue Tiannan likes to stay in this place, it's because of this reason, with his current identity, wanting to live a secluded life in the mountains is not very suitable for him, he has too many things to do, and here is just right for him.

  The spiritual energy here is not particularly abundant, but it's still much better than ordinary places.

  But now, Xue Tiannan saw that someone was devouring the spiritual energy in the mountain villa like a whale sucking water, which shocked him to the core and also made his heart ache terribly.

  Generally speaking, others are most taboo when practicing their skills and being disturbed by someone coming over, but he can't care about too much now.

  He walked forward for another dozen meters or so before suddenly stopping in his tracks. Because he discovered that the person was actually Xuan Qi.

  Xue Tiannan's shock and confusion suddenly turned into relief.

  It seems that here, he is the only one who has this possibility.

  This is after all within the scope of Bai Cao Yuan Lin, and it's not just anyone who can enter, which is why someone like him suddenly appeared.

  Xue Tiannan found that he had greatly underestimated Xuan Qi. The breathing method he was currently using was many times stronger than the one he had used before, and yet he was still so young. If this continued, his future prospects would be boundless.

  Xuan Qi's position in his heart has risen to a very high level, he has made up his mind to get along well with Xuan Qi, perhaps he will make significant contributions to the future of Qingqiu Sect.

  Xuan Qi was immersed in the pleasure of cultivation, completely forgetting about time. The 36,000 pores on his body were all relaxed, and this time's feeling was even more pronounced than before. If last time was just a gentle drizzle, then this time it was a steady patter, a continuous flow that kept washing away the impurities in his body.

  When Xuan Qi came to, it was already half an hour later. As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately smelled a foul odor. He looked down and saw that the surface of his skin had another layer of greasy grime, but this time the color had faded a lot.

  At this time, he felt a slight itch in his throat and coughed, spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm. As soon as it came out, it was black, and at the same time, he felt that his entire mouth was filled with a foul odor.

  This smell was something that Xuan Qi had smelled before, the last time it happened at home too. But now this smell appeared in his own mouth, every breath made him feel extremely nauseous. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran to the side, coughing and vomiting, spitting out a lot of filthy things from his body.

  Finally able to catch his breath, Xuan Qi glanced at the lake water beside him, which was crystal clear and didn't have any messy things at the bottom. He had just thought of taking off his clothes and washing up here when he suddenly felt a presence, turned his head, and happened to see Xue Tian Nan dozens of meters away.

  "Uncle Xue." Xuan Qi called out.

  Xue Tiannan walked over, looking somewhat embarrassed.

  "Xuan Qi, sorry about that. I didn't mean to disturb your practice, but the commotion was quite loud. I followed the flow of spiritual energy and arrived here."

  Sneaking a peek at someone else's practice is a major taboo in the martial arts world, as many people's training methods are secret and not to be passed on. Once discovered, it can lead to extreme anger, and even life-or-death battles may ensue.

  Xuan Qi didn't think much of it and after hearing his words, he felt a bit embarrassed instead.

  "It's nothing, since I'm here practicing, I didn't think of hiding from others."

  Although that's what he said, Xuan Qi secretly reminded himself to be more careful when practicing in the future. It wasn't that he was afraid of being spied on, but rather that his vigilance seemed to decrease when he was practicing, and he easily became engrossed in it, unable to grasp the external situation in time.

  Actually, Xuan Qi was worrying too much. The reason he felt this way was mainly because he had just started practicing and hadn't developed immunity to this feeling yet. Moreover, he was currently at a critical moment, and once he broke through this boundary, things would get much better afterwards.

  Xue Tiannan saw that he was extremely calm, without any pretence or dissatisfaction. He couldn't help but feel very satisfied with him. His nose twitched slightly, and his gaze was drawn to the layer of grime on Xuan Qi's body.

  "Are you building a foundation?!" His eyes were filled with incredulity.

  Once the human body starts to build its foundation, it will undergo tremendous changes. One of the most obvious characteristics is that the impurities and toxins in the body begin to be eliminated, which is a process of removing the old and storing the new.

  After building the foundation, it enters the realm of Xiantian. In martial arts, this is called the transition from Mingjin to Anjin stage, which is also the dividing line between external and internal families.

  However, the detoxification and purification of ordinary Zhuji is not so obvious. This is a very long-term process, which usually slowly discharges the impurities in the body through the digestive tract, with almost no feeling.

  Of course, some foundation-building methods are more effective, and practitioners with exceptional talents or those who use external objects (such as special medicines) to stimulate their bodies may experience a stronger sensation of diarrhea.

  However, like Xuan Qi, directly expelling the body's impurities and toxins from the skin surface, and so clearly, Xue Tian Nan had never seen such a thing before, only knowing of some examples in ancient books and legends.

  So when he saw Xuan Qi's situation, he was extremely shocked and disbelieving.

  Xuan Qi nodded calmly: "Yes, recently when I practice my skills, my body secretes this stuff, it's so disgusting. Uncle Xue, I can barely stand it, let me go wash up first."

  After finishing speaking, Xuan Qi took off his upper garment and trousers, and directly jumped into the lake, refreshing himself with a good wash.

  The foul smell in his mouth was really disgusting. The water quality of the lake here is also good, so he simply drank it directly and filled his stomach with water.

  On the surface of the lake, a layer of oil-like substance began to float around him, gradually spreading outward.

  Xue Tiannan saw this scene and was extremely envious.

  This detoxification process has great benefits for the human body.

  After a person is born, except for the things inherited from the mother's body, there are almost no impurities in the body. This is the cleanest moment of a person's life.

  In the process of growth, because we need to eat and absorb energy, and then come into contact with various environments, our bodies will gradually be invaded by various toxins and pollutants. Although the human body has a natural self-cleansing function, its extent is also very limited, just to ensure that the body can operate normally.

  After decades of accumulation, toxins in the human body can reach a very frightening level and penetrate deep into the bone marrow and blood.

  And cultivation is a kind of reshaping of the human body. To make the various organs of the human body function at their best, it is necessary to first clear out these impurities from inside the body.

  The fewer impurities there are, the easier it is to cultivate and the faster the speed. At the same time, the healthier a person's body is, the longer their lifespan will be.

  Xue Tiannan, as the elder of Qingnang Sect and the master of Xingyi Sect, had actually established his foundation long ago, and the toxins in his body had always remained at a very low level.

  However, his foundation-building process was actually very long, lasting at least five years continuously. During this period, the impurities in his body were slowly squeezed out.

  He also used external means and personally used precious medicinal materials to configure a special medicinal soup for soaking, in order to achieve this effect.
