Chapter 264: Number One

Xiao Fan naturally noticed these gazes, but he didn't care at all.

These people probably only thought he had made it into the top three; if they knew he was first, their jaws would likely drop to the floor in shock.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue looked around at everyone, nodded, and continued, "This time, your time limit in the Marrow Cleansing Pool is three days. How much benefit you can gain inside will depend on yourselves."

Sect Master Wu Xinjue's words were very brief, only simply explaining the function of the Marrow Cleansing Pool…

He said nothing else.

Xiao Fan was quite speechless… He didn't understand anything at all.

At that moment, Xiao Fan suddenly heard Sect Master Xu Yongnian's voice transmission in his ear.

"The density of spiritual energy inside the Marrow Cleansing Pool far exceeds the outside world. Your current cultivation is already at the Half-step Tongtian Realm. Once you reach the Tongtian Realm, you can regrow severed limbs. You can find a way to achieve a Breakthrough inside."

"However, regrowing a limb consumes a massive amount of spiritual energy. With your current Realm, if you rely on your own ability to grow an arm, it would take at least several months… even with a large amount of Spirit Medicine as supplements… it would still take over a month."

"Therefore… if you can reach the Tongtian Realm inside the pool and then utilize the spiritual energy within the Marrow Cleansing Pool to regrow your limb, it will be of immense benefit to you and save you a lot of time…"

"Likewise, when using the Marrow Cleansing Pool to grow limbs, the spring water will continuously pour in, which is also of great benefit to your body!"

Xiao Fan looked back. Sect Master Xu Yongnian's expression was calm as he gave Xiao Fan a slight nod and a kind smile.

Xiao Fan showed a look of gratitude and nodded.

He naturally knew that the Tongtian Realm allowed for the regrowth of severed limbs, but he hadn't expected it to take so long.

Moreover, from Sect Master Xu Yongnian's meaning, entering the Marrow Cleansing Pool wasn't just about using the pool water to shorten the time.

It also had great utility for cleansing one's essence and marrow.

Xiao Fan was already somewhat impatient to enter the Marrow Cleansing Pool.

No one present knew about Sect Master Xu Yongnian's voice transmission; this was something he and Sect Master Wu Xinjue had discussed beforehand.

Xiao Fan was to be cultivated with priority, and under such an Opportunity, giving Xiao Fan a few private pointers…

Was just a drop in the bucket…

"Alright, you ten may enter the Marrow Cleansing Pool first and cultivate quietly at the Spring Eye for three days."

"The Spring Eye is in the center of the pool."

Sect Master Wu Xinjue looked around at everyone and spoke indifferently.

Everyone nodded and entered the Marrow Cleansing Pool one by one.

Xiao Fan didn't know where the Spring Eye was; he had originally been curious.

But after entering the pool water, he discovered that the situation inside was completely different from the outside…

The pool water was icy cold, like a bone-chilling current seeping into his pores and drilling into his body, but after flowing into his body, it instead became a warm current…

This feeling was extremely comfortable…

Because there was a Restriction blocking the view from the outside, Xiao Fan's vision had been poor, and he couldn't see the appearance inside the Marrow Cleansing Pool clearly.

Only after coming in did he realize that this Marrow Cleansing Pool was much, much larger than he had imagined.

It was like a small lake…

The closer one got to the center, the denser the surrounding Spiritual Qi became.

In the center area of the Marrow Cleansing Pool, there seemed to be a water Dragon continuously spitting pool water into the air…

"The Spring Eye?"

Xiao Fan murmured. Compared to other places, this Spring Eye was simply too obvious.

Meanwhile, the others who had entered at the same time all walked toward the water Dragon.

Hu Rui stood beside Xiao Fan and smiled. "Let's go, Junior Brother Xiao. It's said that the water Dragon is where the Spring Eye is."

Xiao Fan nodded and walked through the pool water together with Hu Rui.

Although it was also Hu Rui's first time entering the Marrow Cleansing Pool, she had been in the Jixian Sect for a long time and naturally had some understanding of it.

Ji Bofeng glanced at Xiao Fan, his eyes full of rage just like before.

Several nearby Inner Sect Disciples also showed joyful expressions as they hurried toward the water Dragon in the center of the Marrow Cleansing Pool.

To be able to cleanse one's essence and marrow at the Spring Eye was definitely a massive Opportunity!

After entering the pool water, Xiao Fan discovered that he wanted to pick up his pace, but he seemed to be under some kind of suppression and couldn't speed up…

"Is it a Restriction…"

Xiao Fan whispered. He found that one could only walk inside the Marrow Cleansing Pool; going even a little bit faster was impossible…

And his cultivation was also being suppressed…

"Are they worried about someone causing trouble in the Marrow Cleansing Pool…"

The water Dragon at the Spring Eye was nearly a thousand meters away from Xiao Fan and the others…

With their normal leg strength and strength, they could have reached it in just a few breaths.

However, right now they could only walk step by step.

At the same time, during this period, except for Hu Rui and Ji Bofeng.

While the other Inner Sect Disciples looked joyful, their gazes would intentionally or unintentionally size up Xiao Fan…

They seemed very curious; how did an Outer Sect Disciple at the Half-step Tongtian Realm make it into the top three?

Could it be that this year's Outer Sect Disciples were very weak?

Finally, one of the female Disciples couldn't help herself. She looked at Xiao Fan and asked as she walked, "Junior Brother… are you really in the top three this year?"

This woman's voice was very pleasant.

Xiao Fan could hear that the other party had no ill intent; it was just pure curiosity.

Hearing this, the other Inner Sect Disciples all cast their gazes onto Xiao Fan.

From their expressions, they also really wanted to know the answer.

Hu Rui covered her mouth and smiled… without saying a word.

Ji Bofeng's face instantly became even gloomier…

This first place should have been his!

Xiao Fan nodded. "Yes."

To be able to enter the Marrow Cleansing Pool, he was obviously in the top three!

Wasn't this a redundant question…

Xiao Fan felt that the question the other party asked had no substance at all.

Hearing this, the female Disciple nodded, but after hesitating for a moment, she asked tentatively once more, "Then, Junior Brother, what was your rank in this Inner Sect Selection?"

The other surrounding Inner Sect Disciples were also curious about this question…

If Xiao Fan was third…

It seemed they could still accept it, thinking Xiao Fan might have just had good luck.

Xiao Fan glanced at the people around him and spoke indifferently, "First!"
