Chapter 56: An unexpected gain after the injury

The next morning, rays of warm sunlight slanted down from the sky and fell into this green valley; the entire valley seemed to be covered with a layer of light golden glow, appearing extremely peaceful and beautiful.At this time, beside the small river in the middle of the small valley, a figure was sitting quietly; a faint mist was lingering around it, and it appeared slightly ethereal from a distance.The figure sitting quietly in front of him was the one who had entered the Bugong Palace for deep healing in the small valley. He had his eyes slightly closed, and streams of air were constantly being drawn in from the outside world through his mouth, nose and top of his head. A faint purple and bright light appeared on his face, making him look a bit mysterious at first glance.About a quarter of an hour later, the mist around the sitting figure began to fluctuate slightly; then his eyelids, which had just been closed, began to twitch slightly; “Huh…” Then he slowly opened his mouth, and a gas with a slightly turbid and strong smell of blood came out of his mouth.At the same time, his eyes were fully opened at this moment, a subtle gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and a hint of purple was faintly visible in the depths of his pupils; his whole body was full of energy, and his mind was focused, which was completely different from yesterday.And this is Bu Gong who entered the small valley to recuperate yesterday; judging from his appearance, his internal injuries are probably basically healed. Apparently, he did not return to the dormitory last night, but spent the whole night in this small valley; of course, the fact that he was able to recover to such an extent so quickly may be somewhat related to this small valley.”Damn it, this is the first time in my life that I’ve been injured so badly, but now…” When Bu Gong said this, the corners of his mouth curled up and a smile appeared on his face; it seemed that he was extremely satisfied with the results of the healing work that he had done all night last night.Then he twisted his neck slightly, took down the stone and exercised his fists and feet on the grass; Bu Gong, who was exercising on the ground, suddenly stopped all the movements in his hands at this moment, and the whole person was a little dazed.It turned out that when Bu Gong was moving his body, his consciousness was naturally checking the internal conditions of his body to see if there were any other hidden injuries in his body. He didn’t want to lose the big picture for the small one.After all, he had been familiar with poetry and books since childhood and understood a truth very well: “A thousand-mile dam can be breached by an ant hole”; of course, the same applies to cultivation, so he did not dare to be careless about his body.It was precisely because of this unintentional habitual action that he was able to sense the immortal energy in the acupoints in his body, which had undergone a great change compared to before he was injured.Because the little immortal energy stored in the acupoints has become more refined and stronger; at the same time, the originally colorless immortal energy also has a slight hint of purple, becoming thicker and sharper.Bu Gong, who noticed this, was stunned for a moment; this was an unexpected surprise, because the increase in the immortal energy in his body was comparable to the accumulation of his usual half-month practice.Moreover, the purity of the immortal energy in his body was also a bit higher than before, which was something Bu Gong had never expected; “Can the purity of the immortal energy in his body be increased after being injured?” When such a thought flashed through Bu Gong’s mind, he himself was a little bit unbelievable.In fact, this is not surprising; because since he started practicing, although the mysterious energy overflowing from the evil spirit in his mind has transformed his body and immortal power, Bu Gong has not experienced a real experience from the beginning to now.Naturally, they don’t know the benefits of training; in fact, the so-called training arranged for disciples in some major sects is a process to help them purify and compress the immortal energy that has been tempered in their bodies.Of course, the immortal energy absorbed from the outside world and then tempered into the body by the cultivator can also be called magic power.Bu Gong was seriously injured yesterday by the pressure from the purple-clothed man, Mo Xiong; this indirectly helped Bu Gong compress the magic power in his body purely in the form of external force. This was also an unusual experience for Bu Gong, so he just felt that the magic power in his body was more pure and powerful.Of course, it cannot be said that after a cultivator is injured, the magic power in his body will definitely become more pure and powerful. This is why Bu Gong took advantage of such a loophole; because his body was transformed by the mysterious energy overflowing from the evil spirit in his mind.Although the transformation would not be too obvious, ever since the magic power in his body merged with the mysterious energy, his meridians, acupoints, bones and other tissues had become more flexible than before, which was equivalent to enhancing the overall strength of his body; this was also the fundamental reason why Bu Gong’s magic power had changed so much after he was injured this time.If you were an ordinary cultivator, after such a coercive and oppressive situation, you would be seriously injured. If it were more serious, you would be lucky if you didn’t suffer from a hidden disease or even become disabled. But you could benefit from it like Bu Gong? That is undoubtedly wishful thinking.At this time, Bu Gong was standing quietly in the small valley; his spiritual sense penetrated into his body and carefully felt every part of his body. Finally, the smile on his face became wider and wider.”Huh… I really didn’t expect this. One injury is equivalent to the results of half a month’s training? Then, should I get injured more often in the future?” This thought suddenly popped up in his mind. Bu Gong’s heart skipped a beat, and then he immediately rejected this idea. After all, this method was too absurd.…In the following period of time, Bu Gong began to practice step by step as usual; but in addition to his practice, he also continued to collect some information about the immortal root.After all, he himself did not have any immortal roots, and he relied on some opportunities to reach the peak of the body-shaping stage; if he could not find a solution, then he would probably only be able to reach the peak of the body-shaping stage in his lifetime, and he would never be able to enter the Yuan-peek realm.Therefore, in the past six months, he had almost walked through the doors of some of the sect’s library; he was so familiar with them as if they were his own home, and even several sect disciples who guarded the library had become familiar with Bu Gong.So later on, when Bu Gong entered and left the library, the disciples who were guarding him were too lazy to ask him questions; as long as they saw that it was Bu Gong, they would almost turn a blind eye.During this period, Hou Ming was actually much more well-behaved; because Bu Gong had basically not seen Hou Ming in the past six months, and had not encountered any of Hou Ming’s close friends looking for trouble with him, so Bu Gong was really more peaceful during this period.Xiang Ling’er came almost once every two weeks. Every time she came, she either gave Bu Gong pills or energy crystals, which even made Bu Gong feel embarrassed to accept them.This is not to say that Bu Gong likes to take advantage, but there was one time when Bu Gong resolutely refused to accept Xiang Ling’er’s pills and energy crystals, which made the girl cry; and the consequence was that she was angry with Bu Gong for a long time, resulting in her pretending not to know Bu Gong when they occasionally met, which made Bu Gong a little amused and helpless.Bu Gong’s current worth is much more than that of some veteran outer disciples in some sects; of course, a large part of this is due to Xiang Ling’er’s contribution.Ever since Bu Gong learned that he couldn’t enter the Peeping Origin Realm without his Immortal Roots, he had barely used any of his elixirs or energy crystals. He knew it would be a waste to use them, so it would be better to save them for future use, even though he knew the chances of them ever being used were slim.
