At the end of the Emperor’s Pool, there was a mystical mist.
It was an array set up by the Female State Preceptor, who also perford the Breath Concealnt Technique.
Chu Huaixu was already far from her, so he didn’t notice her presence.
Seated on a cushion, with only a piece of clothing left above her waist, the woman carefully examined the young man in the distance.
Previously in the Cultivation Hall, Lin Qingci had only casually swept him with her Divine Sense.
Now, taking a closer look, how should she put it, he was indeed much more handso than Qin Xuexiao.
Her cultivation, or rather everything she had, was a gift from the Ancestor Emperor.
Or perhaps, her controlled life was also because of him.
At this mont, Lin Qingci looked at Chu Huaixu as if she saw an exit from her own life, a hope for liberation.
She just needed to engage in a pleasure of fish and water with this body, infuse everything cultivated from the "Wedding Garnt" cultivation technique, along with the Power of Origin within herself, into his body, so she could usher in rebirth.
In fact, Lin Qingci was now pondering where she should go after leaving the Imperial Capital.
She couldn’t think of an answer.
She didn’t know where she should head to; she only knew she didn’t want to stay here.
"Anyway, when the ti cos, I can perform the Secret Technique and lock away a part of my consciousness."
"Then take the aphrodisiac, and just act on instinct."
"Just think of it as being bitten by a dog." Lin Qingci thought.
The "Wedding Garnt" cultivation technique has its own characteristics.
As the Emperor’s Divine Thought said, it requires harmony of body and mind.
Gaining a woman’s virgin essence brings imnse benefits.
However, it requires reaching the peak of joy.
Lin Qingci sat quietly at the farthest point, observing Chu Huaixu.
The Emperor’s Divine Thought within her did the sa.
However, after a while, her calm eyes suddenly no longer resembled a placid ancient well, instinctively averting her gaze.
Her normally calm expression showed signs of slight embarrassnt.
Because Chu Huaixu was about to enter the first pool.
According to the rules, before entering the Emperor’s Pool, one could only wear a blood-colored crystal necklace, and everything else must be removed.
Though he didn’t walk the path of large muscle mass.
But the robust physique of a Body Refiner was expectedly impressive.
Sotis he felt his fra was practically a moving work of art!
"On Earth, I’d need the most aweso artist to sculpt a statue for !"
"So perfect." Chu Huaixu often thought this way.
Yet what he didn’t know was that at this mont, another "person" was sharing similar sentints.
The Ancestor Emperor’s voice echoed in Lin Qingci’s mind.
"In this era, body refining is truly a slow, grinding effort."
"In my ti, amidst constant war, body refiners were better suited to hone themselves on the battlefield, and thus so experts erged."
"This boy’s dual mastery in Sword and Body allows him to refine his physique to such solidity."
"Even in my perspective, I’ve never seen a more perfect Body Refiner than him."
"Whether it’s the Dao Ancestor’s Dao Scripture proving to be extraordinarily mysterious, or this boy being naturally suited for body refining."
Lin Qingci could tell, the Ancestor Emperor was increasingly pleased with this physical body.
Asking herself, she too felt that compared to Chu Huaixu, Qin Xuexiao was no match, except for carrying the Qin Family blood.

...
This place, resembling a stone coffin, housed ten Emperor’s Pools.
Chu Huaixu knew, according to the rules, he must enter the pools in sequence.
Wearing the blood-colored crystal necklace, he slowly stepped inside the Emperor’s Pool, sitting down to soak.
The water temperature was quite hot.
"Damn it, it’s more like a bathhouse." he thought.
So bathhouses were just like that, with water temperature too hot to sit down in one go.
Yet, not long after soaking, he felt a warm stream begin to grow within him.
On his Character Panel, Experience Points began to increase.
However, the speed was not as fast as he expected.
Every while, only a few hundred points increased.
"This level is not much different from soaking in a dicinal bath." Chu Huaixu thought.
But this was just the first Emperor’s Pool, so he was not impatient, thinking it would probably progress gradually.
Right in front of him was a stone platform.
On the stone platform, ten pearl-sized beads were embedded.
At the mont, the first bead was already lit, emitting a faint glow.
Chu Huaixu knew these beads could be understood as a standard of judgnt.
The higher the absorption level, the more beads light up.
If ten light up, it represents reaching the absorption limit.
According to the rules, if your absorption level in any pool is fewer than six beads, then you cannot enter the next pool.
Without proper groundwork, moving forward would be a dead end, leading to a body explosion.
"I heard when Qin Xuexiao first entered the Emperor’s Pool, the first three pools all had ten beads, whereas pools four to six had nine beads, and pools seven to nine had eight beads."
"The second ti, the first five pools all achieved ten beads, while pools six to nine had nine beads."
This was the most outstanding achievent in recent centuries.
"It seems like the Female State Preceptor from Moon Country, when entering the Emperor’s Pool, her performance was similar to Qin Xuexiao’s first entry, only the ninth pool had a seven-bead rating." Chu Huaixu thought.
Speaking of which, this place seed quite suitable for Xiaoxu, the dicine jar.
He felt that if Xiaoxu was here to absorb the energy within, he might reach full level all the way...
At this mont, Chu Huaixu did not specifically close his eyes to ditate; he just kept his eyes open, watching the beads on the stone platform light up one by one.
Soon, all ten beads were lit.
Chu Huaixu checked the Cultivation Technique Experience in his Character Panel, which had increased by a total of 5000 Experience Points.
"Truly pitifully little." he thought.
For soone at level 37, five thousand Experience Points now served little purpose.
From the distance, Lin Qingci watched the ten lit beads within the swirling mist, unsurprised.
The esteed Profound Yellow Leader would indeed take full absorption from the initial pools, anything less would be strange.
Seeing Chu Huaixu start to rise from the Emperor’s Pool, she didn’t turn away but slightly shifted her gaze.
However, as the young man was halfway standing, he suddenly sat back down.
"Hmm?" The Ancestor Emperor uttered a puzzled sound.
Chu Huaixu had already absorbed ten beads, continuing to soak would be useless, offering no further gains.
For it to beco effective again, he would need to co back in two years.
Qin Xuexiao’s two entries to the Emperor’s Pool had exactly a two-year interval.
Listening to the Ancestor Emperor’s voice, Lin Qingci directed her gaze back to this young man.
Surely, his prolonged soak wasn’t just due to comfort and pleasure?
Both began waiting to see his next move.
Soon, they saw a golden mark begin to appear between Chu Huaixu’s brows, and his jet-black eyes suddenly ignited with blazing golden flas, as if burning within his gaze!
