Chapter Eighty-six: The Two Polarities of Heaven

  "What you're most concerned about now is still the problem of martial arts skills, those are all empty, only having strong personal strength is the most important." Song Changqing changed his tone and no longer mentioned Lin Yuan's true yuan special situation.

  "You've hardly practiced any martial arts skills since you started training, and I can tell that you're also aware of your own lack of skill. You set up this arena, clearly just to practice your skills." Song Changqing said slowly.

  Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed, and indeed, this master's gaze was like a sharp sword. Just by observing himself, he could tell what he wanted to do. Those powerful individuals from other institutes of the Wu Zong must have also discovered it.

  Lin Yuan nodded silently, his eyes gradually shining with insight. Song Changqing's words had perfectly pointed out his own weaknesses. Lin Yuan also instantly understood what he needed.

  "But don't worry, I'll tell you how to do it. It's only between life and death that one can temper oneself. Coincidentally, the outer disciples' trial is in a few days, so just follow them and hone your martial skills. Believe me, you'll make great progress this time." Song Changqing's eyes were calm.

  "Moreover, your own True Yuan has been resolved, and what's left is your physical body. Your physical body has far surpassed that of a disciple of the same rank, and has even reached the level of a Post-Heaven Ninth Order."

  "But that's still not enough, having only strength is not enough, it can't last long, the moon has its phases, heaven and earth have day and night. Since you've chosen to cultivate the martial arts together, you need to persist in it. This path may be difficult, but after success, it will be earth-shaking."

  Song Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, unmoving even if the heavens collapsed and the earth sank. He was like a divine mountain standing between heaven and earth, unshakeable even as the stars fell and the rivers sank. As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Yuan instantly felt a surge of energy that seemed to shatter the mountains and rivers, and he stood firm in his unwavering determination.

  This is what the strong need, and this is also a necessary condition for becoming a strong person.

  Lin Yuan seemed to be influenced by this momentum as well, and in an instant, a similar aura emanated from his body. However, it was still much weaker compared to Song Longqing's. Nevertheless, Lin Yuan now knew what he needed to do and what he required.

  Lin Yuan has good conditions, and the Tai Shang Yuan Shi Jing is the best gong fa. It doesn't need to be changed. Practicing both martial arts and dual cultivation will allow him to gain power that surpasses many others. This is Lin Yuan's advantage and his strong point.

  "Alright, you'll understand later. For now, just follow your cultivation method and practice. Now, start tempering your True Yuan, your strength is too weak." Song Changqing suddenly spoke up.

  "What's going on now? Master, I..."

  "What's wrong, can't I? Right now." Song Changqing glared at Lin Yuan.

  "No, Master, how should I cultivate?" Lin Yuan asked in confusion, he had never thought that his master would actually help him cultivate his true yuan now.

  "You may have condensed your true essence now, but the potential and residual true essence within you have not been fully utilized, nor have they even merged. This time, I'm going to help you merge them." Song Changqing paused: "Moreover, I sense a powerful true essence within you that you haven't fully utilized, which is a waste."

  "Master, powerful true yuan, body residue." Lin Yuan was completely stunned.

  "Alright, don't ask any more questions, look ahead and you'll see what's prepared for you, go on in." Song Changqing nodded towards the front.

  Lin Yuan looked in the direction that Chao Song was pointing at and saw a wooden barrel-like object in front of him.

  Lin Yuan stepped forward and walked to the side of the wooden bucket, looked inside, and suddenly her face turned as black as ink. She turned around to look at Song Changqing who was standing aside with narrowed eyes.

  "Master, are you sure you want to go in?" Lin Yuan spat out a mouthful of saliva.

  The entire wooden barrel was pitch black, with a dark mass inside that seemed to be stirring and emitting heat. A foul odor wafted out from it.

  Lin Yuan had just entered and hadn't noticed it before, but now that he saw it, his stomach suddenly churned with nausea. This was absolutely unbearable to look at, let alone enter.

  "What's wrong, don't you want to go in? You're really unaware of the blessings you have. Do you know how many people want to get this thing?" Song Changqing narrowed his eyes, seemingly mocking him.

  "This is the essence of countless heavenly treasures and earthly gems, I don't know how many inner disciples yearn to get it, but you little brat don't want to go in, this is the first time, since you don't want to go in, forget it, you can leave." It seems that Song Changqing also wants to tease Lin Yuan.

  "No, no, no, I'm going in, I'm going in." Lin Yuan was resolute. If something beneficial is available and you don't take it, that's not like yourself. You'd rather die trying than give up the chance to improve your strength. Who wouldn't want that?

  If others knew that Lin Yuan had this idea at the time, they would have rushed over to kill him. This is clearly taking advantage of someone and then pretending to be clever, how hateful!

  Lin Yuan looked at Song Changqing, who was still squinting his eyes, and felt extremely displeased in her heart. However, she also had no way to do anything about it. After all, he was her master. Of course, Lin Yuan was just consoling herself.

  Enduring the unbearable smell, Lin Yuan instantly took off his clothes, leaving only a long underpants, and his jade-like skin instantly entered the medicine bucket.

  "Bang" Lin Yuan's entire upper body was covered in the bucket, leaving only his head exposed. A refreshing coolness instantly spread throughout Lin Yuan's body, and just as he entered the bucket, Song Changqing suddenly appeared beside him with narrowed eyes.

  "Give me the closed-eye breathing, circulating the power method. The medicinal properties here can be absorbed as much as possible, don't waste it. The longer you persist, the more benefits you will get, and the pain must be endured, persist to the greatest extent." Song Changqing's angry roar was transmitted into Lin Yuan's ears.

  Lin Yuan knew that this time the master was not joking, but was serious. In an instant, the internal skill operation turned, and the whole person was covered with a layer of deep blue true yuan.

  A thread of coolness slowly spread throughout Lin Yuan's body, and he could even feel his true yuan condensing and increasing bit by bit.

  Just as Lin Yuan was about to enjoy the coolness that had just arrived, a terrible stinging pain suddenly swept through his entire body. Every part of his body instantly felt like a volcano, burning with fire.

  "Hold on to it, this is the key. From now on, all the time will be like this, a world of ice and fire, you must hold on. The longer you last, the stronger you'll become." Song Changqing saw Lin Yuan's expression and knew that this was the crucial moment, so he reminded him once again.

  The woods were surrounded, the combination of ice and fire, the combination of cold and heat, wasn't this just like the feeling of cultivating the Tai Shang Yuan Shi Jing? Only, this feeling was countless times stronger than cultivating the Tai Shang Yuan Shi Jing.
