Chapter 137 Heavy Waterfall
Reading Settings
Yan Nanfei changed the subject, his gaze falling on the waterfall cascading down the high cliff not far away. "Your task for the next month is to stay under the impact of this waterfall for ten consecutive days."
"The condition is that you cannot use spiritual power; you can only use your physical body to withstand the impact of the waterfall."
Lu Fuyue was slightly taken aback. When she first arrived, she noticed the difference in this waterfall. Logically, the spiritual energy here should be rich, and the water in the waterfall should also be imbued with a trace of spiritual power. However, there was not a single trace of spiritual power fluctuation in this water.
On the contrary, there was a strange feeling.
Yan Nanfei noticed her confusion but did not intend to explain directly.
He put away his fan and then walked to the riverbank below the waterfall and squatted down.
"Come and take a look, see if there's anything different about this water."
Lu Fuyue walked to his side, squatted down, and took a closer look.
The clear lake water was transparent, yet the bottom could not be seen at a glance. Although it was flowing water, she could not perceive the flow at all.
Lu Fuyue suddenly looked at the waterfall, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes. There was a waterfall above, and all the water in this lake came from the waterfall and flowed downstream.
But the water in the river didn't move at all; except for the waterfall, everything else was still.
"This is... the legendary heavy water?"
Yan Nanfei paused for a moment, then slowly said, "It seems you know quite a lot."
Lu Fuyue looked at him, "Isn't Martial Uncle the same?"
After all, he was the first person to use so much heavy water to create a waterfall for cultivation.
Yan Nanfei suddenly laughed, "Since you know, I don't need to explain anymore. Just focus on your cultivation, and I'll come back to check on your progress in a month."
After leaving those words, he vanished into thin air.
...
After he left, Lu Fuyue looked at the clear, bright water in front of her and fell into deep thought.
According to the book, heavy water is the water in a branch river on the banks of the River of Oblivion in the underworld. Nothing can float on heavy water, not even a feather.
No one knows how deep the heavy water river in the underworld is, but legend has it that once you fall into it, you will surely die.
Unexpectedly, Yan Nanfei managed to obtain so much heavy water. It seems he had been to the underworld and possesses a treasure capable of holding heavy water.
A gentle breeze blew by, and a withered yellow leaf drifted onto the water's surface, sinking to the bottom in no time and disappearing without a trace.
Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes, concealing the emotions within them, and then got up without hesitation and walked towards the waterfall.
She understood what Yan Nanfei meant. Heavy water falling from a height of several hundred meters was as heavy as countless boulders rolling down. Ordinary cultivators could not survive for even a second under such circumstances, let alone without using their spiritual power.
However, body cultivation is different. The key to body cultivation is to temper the skin and flesh, temper the tendons and bones, and temper the five internal organs to enhance the body's strength, and finally use the physical body to pass through the heavenly lightning and ascend to immortality.
However, to reach this level, good techniques alone are not enough; one also needs constant practical experience.
Heavy water is one of the best cultivation treasures for body cultivators.
Soon, Lu Fuyue stepped into the lake, and her face instantly turned pale.
The white hem of her skirt was submerged in the water, soaking a large area. Wherever it was wet, it seemed as if countless hands were gripping it tightly and pulling it down forcefully.
Moreover, heavy water has a strong corrosive effect, and the more spiritual power is used, the more severe the corrosion becomes. This is one of the reasons why Yan Nanfei forbids her from using spiritual power.
Fortunately, she had already sealed off her spiritual power, and now she could only use the Phoenix Body Refining Technique.
