Chapter 271: The Thinning Spiritual Energy of the Marrow Cleansing Pool

Jixian Sect, outside the Marrow Cleansing Pool.

A day had passed since Xiao Fan's limb Rebirth.

Throughout this day, he had not moved an inch. His face was livid, veins bulging… He gritted his teeth, persisting fiercely, the sweat on his forehead having long since dried up…

By now, his left arm had grown halfway back, almost reaching the elbow.

The further the limb Rebirth progressed, the more intense the pain became.

Every breath, Xiao Fan endured inhuman pain.

Even with his resilient Heart-Nature, he nearly screamed out loud.

Hu Rui, beside him, had her eyes closed, accepting the cleansing of the Marrow Cleansing Pool, so she did not notice this.

Ji Bofeng was the same.

The surrounding Inner Sect Disciples were also like this.

Having finally obtained a chance to enter the Spring Eye of the Marrow Cleansing Pool, they could not afford to waste it.

Thus, no one noticed Xiao Fan's expression at this moment…

The spiritual energy inside the Marrow Cleansing Pool was exceptionally dense. Xiao Fan soaked in the pool water, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy within it.

Suddenly, the Enlightenment Seed within Xiao Fan's body trembled…

It bounced around in Xiao Fan's Dantian, very active, and then actually began to autonomously absorb the spiritual energy from the pool water outside through his Dantian…

Feeling the anomaly in his Dantian, Xiao Fan was surprised…

He shared a mental connection with the Enlightenment Seed, and he instinctively felt that the Enlightenment Seed loved the spiritual energy in the pool water; this energy was very important for its growth.

Xiao Fan naturally did not stop it; he even wanted it to absorb as much as possible…

Just like that, Xiao Fan absorbed spiritual energy to channel into his left arm, while the Enlightenment Seed absorbed spiritual energy as food…

The Enlightenment Seed had a huge appetite, and with its participation, the spiritual energy in the pool began to gradually thin out…

Those around began to be surprised, sensing something wrong with the pool water; it seemed the spiritual energy had become thin.

But no one spoke, and no one had the mind to surface and investigate.

It was just a little difference, not enough to affect anything yet.

After all, receiving the baptism was the most important thing at the moment.

This was the situation near the inner Spring Eye; in the outer area of the Marrow Cleansing Pool, the situation was even more severe.

The spiritual energy around Nangong Lingxuan and Qiao Rong became thin.

The spiritual energy in the pool water was more than double less than when they first entered…

Nangong Lingxuan, sitting cross-legged, frowned. It was her first time entering the Marrow Cleansing Pool, and she thought that perhaps this was just how the Marrow Cleansing Pool was.

Qiao Rong, beside her, had the same thought, believing that perhaps the Marrow Cleansing Pool naturally became thinner in spiritual energy the longer one stayed…

Besides the two of them, the other Outer Sect Disciples all thought the same.

However, those Inner Sect Disciples were different; among them were Disciples who had been to the Marrow Cleansing Pool before, and they realized something was wrong on the spot.

In the past, the spiritual energy within the Marrow Cleansing Pool had always been consistently dense.

But today, it was far worse than before.

This made them suspicious one after another… But opening their eyes to look around, they could see nothing suspicious.

It was just that the spiritual energy of the pool water had thinned.

…

Another day passed…

Xiao Fan had already endured twenty-four hours of pain.

But unexpectedly, his expression at this moment seemed to have become a bit more relaxed than before.

Although his face was still livid, the veins on his forehead had dissipated.

He had gradually adapted to this pain…

By now, his left arm had grown to the wrist…

It was starting to grow the palm…

The limb Rebirth was nearing completion and had reached the final stage.

During this period, Xiao Fan had not moved at all, and the medicinal efficacy of the rank four Medicinal Pill he had taken from the star chart had been completely refined by him…

Currently, he was relying entirely on the spiritual energy within the Marrow Cleansing Pool for support.

The water Dragon at the Spring Eye continued to spray a column of water into mid-air…

It could be seen that its spiritual energy was extremely dense.

But at this moment, the spiritual energy in the pool water was terrifyingly thin…

It was currently only one-third of the usual spiritual energy concentration…

The Inner Sect Disciples at the Spring Eye also noticed something was wrong one after another.

One by one, they woke up and looked around curiously, wanting to find the reason for the thinning spiritual energy.

But there was nothing unusual around; everyone was sitting cross-legged…

This left everyone confused…

This was the case even at the Spring Eye.

The outer area of the Marrow Cleansing Pool was even more miserable…

The spiritual energy was barely one-fifth of what it was before, and the effect of cleansing the marrow and cutting the essence was greatly reduced.

Currently, it could only barely expel some Impurities from the body…

It could not achieve the effect of cleansing the marrow and cutting the essence at all.

Nangong Lingxuan, Qiao Rong, and other Outer Sect Disciples, even though it was their first time entering the Marrow Cleansing Pool, also discovered something was wrong at this moment.

The Inner Sect Disciples opened their eyes one after another, looking around, their faces full of confusion.

"What exactly is going on? Why is the spiritual energy in the pool water so thin!" a Disciple asked, confused.

"In the past when I entered the Marrow Cleansing Pool, the spiritual energy was clearly terrifyingly dense, but now… it seems to be only one-fifth of what it used to be!"

"Damn it, what has happened? This is an opportunity I worked so hard to get!"

Someone cursed in frustration!

It was not just one or two people who had this thought.

One must know that even for Inner Sect Disciples, wanting to enter the Marrow Cleansing Pool once required significant effort.

A huge amount of contribution points, or achieving a good ranking in selection matches or the like, was required to have a chance to enter.

And the Marrow Cleansing Pool was only opened twice a year; this was also a strict threshold.

Therefore, even the Inner Sect Disciples cherished the opportunity to enter the Marrow Cleansing Pool very much.

But the pool water at this moment had shockingly thin spiritual energy!

How could they be reconciled to this?

Nangong Lingxuan, Qiao Rong, Yu Liang, and other Outer Sect Disciples also opened their eyes one after another.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in the pool water was only slightly stronger than the outside world, and the effect of cleansing the marrow and cutting the essence was almost non-existent.

Another hour passed…

They had originally thought the pool water effect might improve, but not only did it not improve, the spiritual energy became even thinner.

In the outer area, it would be good if it barely had one-sixth of the original spiritual energy at this point.

Finally, some Inner Sect Disciples could not endure it anymore; a few left the Marrow Cleansing Pool to go and report this matter to Sect Master Wu Xinjue.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue and Sect Master Xu Yongnian were both by the side of the Marrow Cleansing Pool.

The two were sending sound transmissions to each other, not knowing what they were saying.

Seeing some Disciples come out, both of them revealed curiosity in their eyes.

One must know that in the past, there had never been Disciples leaving the Marrow Cleansing Pool ahead of schedule!
