Chapter 378: Chapter 78: Body Refinement in the Flame Spring
“Shouldn’t be a problem if I go down, right?”
“Brother Jiu…”
Yan Wanfei looked down at the boiling Earth Flame Spring, and couldn’t help but feel a bit doubtful.
Lu Youjiu said straightforwardly:
“No problem, didn’t I tell you before? It will just hurt a bit, and you won’t be able to endure it for too long.”
“Also…”
“As long as you don’t dive too deep, it won’t harm you. Instead, it will help you practice the Body Refining Techniques.”
After hearing what Lu Youjiu said, Yan Wanfei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and stepped forward.
Then, Yan Wanfei turned to Lu Youjiu and said:
“Brother Jiu, I’m going down now.”
Lu Youjiu didn’t speak, just smiled and nodded his head.
Immediately after, Yan Wanfei turned his head and stepped into the Earth Flame Spring.
However, just at that moment…
Lu Youjiu pulled Lin Jing and San He back a few steps.
Then…
“Splash”, Yan Wanfei fell into the Earth Flame Spring.
Immediately after.
With a cry of “Ow…”, Yan Wanfei, who had just jumped into the Earth Flame Spring, shot right back out.
And splashed a large amount of the spring’s liquid.
Seeing this, without waiting for Lu Youjiu’s reminder, Lin Jing and San He retreated further back.
They avoided the splashed Earth Flame Spring liquid.
“Damn, that hurt like hell…”
“Brother Jiu, what’s going on, you set me up…”
However, Lu Youjiu remained very calm and said to Yan Wanfei:
“Nope…”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier that entering the Earth Flame Spring for Body Refinement would be painful?”
Yan Wanfei rolled up his sleeves and extended his arm for everyone to see.
Yan Wanfei’s arm looked like it had been steamed, completely red as if it were a glowing hot iron.
And it was still emitting steam.
Seeing this, Lin Jing’s eyes widened in shock, unable to stop himself from gasping in the cold air, startled by how quickly Yan Wanfei had been affected.
Was the Earth Flame Spring really that terrifying?
Initially, Lin Jing thought about trying it himself later.
But this sight frightened the idea right out of him.
Yan Wanfei, holding up his arm and giving Lu Youjiu a resentful look, said:
“Is this what you meant by ‘a bit painful’? I feel like my whole body’s about to be cooked.”
Lu Youjiu nodded and replied:
“Generally speaking, it’s indeed not very painful…”
After he finished speaking, Lu Youjiu then questioned:
“When you went down just now, you didn’t use any Spiritual Power to resist, did you?”
Yan Wanfei froze, then confusedly asked Lu Youjiu:
“Isn’t the point of practicing Body Refining Techniques to let the Earth Flame Spring liquid seep into the body? Why would I need to use Spiritual Power to resist when going down?”
“Of course.” Lu Youjiu said.
“This Earth Flame Spring surges up from the extreme flame zones deep within the earth’s core; its temperature is extraordinarily high, naturally.”
“Besides, how long have you been practicing your Body Refining Techniques?”
“Thinking you could resist the Earth Flame Spring liquid with just your physical body is naive. You still don’t understand enough about the Earth Flame Spring.”
“When you go down, of course, you need to use Spiritual Power to resist until you gradually adapt, then you can start to let the spring’s liquid seep into your body.”
“I see…” Yan Wanfei said sheepishly.
After he spoke, he immediately sensed something was wrong, then added:
“Wait, Brother Jiu…”
“Why didn’t you remind me just now?”
Lu Youjiu gave him a look and said:
“Just now…”
“I saw you were full of confidence, I thought you knew.”
“Besides, this was a good lesson for you, don’t jump in blindly without understanding things.”
Yan Wanfei was chastised by Lu Youjiu, suddenly feeling very embarrassed.
……
Soon after, Yan Wanfei tried a second time.
This second time, having been prepared beforehand, Yan Wanfei seemed much more at ease.
He even immersed his body in the pool as if soaking in a hot spring.
Seeing Yan Wanfei like this, Lin Jing also felt tempted.
So, after notifying the others, he also came to the edge of the Earth Flame Spring, ready to try it out himself.
Seeing Lin Jing preparing to enter, Yan Wanfei hurriedly called out to him:
“Brother Lin, come on…”
“But be careful, remember to use your full strength to run your Spiritual Power. This place not only refines the body but also is particularly abundant in Spiritual Power.”
Then, without being overconfident, Lin Jing activated his Spiritual Power and slowly entered the Earth Flame Spring.
As soon as he entered, countless fiery essences mixed with Fire Attribute essence tried to penetrate his body.
But these were blocked by the Spiritual Power, only continuously roiling on the surface of his body.
At this moment, Lin Jing finally understood why Yan Wanfei had immediately jumped out upon entering.
It must have been these Fire Attribute essences invading his body, which is why it felt as if he had been scalded.
