Chapter 60 58, Enlightenment in the Bathhouse
Glimmering light rippled across the surface, water sparkling and shimmering.
Clothed in a sword robe fluttering in the water, Liu Ruoxue stood with a stern posture in the midst. Her skirt below the waist was swiftly erased by the Sword Intent's slice, revealing her snow-white calves that looked like delicate lotus roots in front of Xu Yuan.
It was at this moment that Xu Yuan slightly rose.
He wasn't a leg man, and naturally, he wasn't about to reward himself under these circumstances.
Putting aside the United Heart Curse left by Tian Liuli, the presence of a Nascent Soul cultivator above meant Xu Yuan could hardly engage in such behavior.
His rise was merely due to the sudden plunge into the water, the shock prompting him to prepare to relieve himself.
Gurgle gurgle...
Bubbles continuously emerged from beneath the surface of the water under the dress.
...
Liu Ruoxue stood with closed eyes, her two short lengths of jade-like legs resembling unstained lotus stems in the water.
Her heart, previously simmering with unrest, was now being constantly cleansed by the downward Sword Intent, gradually moving towards calmness.
Then, she heard the gurgling sound of bubbling water.
Liu Ruoxue's expression became slightly bewildered.
What was that sound?
Could it be that he was drinking water?
No, that shouldn't be the case.
If he swallowed this water, the Sword Intent within it would likely tear him open instantaneously.
Liu Ruoxue was aware of the Sword Cleansing Pool's origins and knew how fearsome the Sword Intent of a Primordial Spirit cultivator could be.
After relieving himself and making sure that the Nascent Soul cultivator hovering above hadn't noticed him, Xu Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Good, if that was the case, he could continue with other matters.
From his observations, the water of the Sword Cleansing Pool flowed from the peak of Sword Peak all the way down. Given the sheer volume, his own contribution could hardly affect everyone downstream.
"So... blood is still the best option."
Xu Yuan's gaze flickered subtly as he gradually released his spiritual power defenses, allowing the Sword Qi to wash over his body.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Very soon, tiny dark red streaks of blood mixed into the stream, flowing downward with the current.
At the same time, he manipulated the Storage Ring hidden under his skirt with his Divine Sense, slowly releasing its contents.
"Wait, isn't this equivalent to him drinking my bathwater?"
Liu Ruoxue felt a surge of shame and anger.
...
Perpetually enveloped in mist, at the summit of Sword Peak next to the Purple Bamboo Sword Hut, a spring fell from mid-air and gently flowed into the Sword Cleansing Pool.
And at that moment, a white-haired girl in purple sat expressionlessly at the edge of the pool, her Jade Foot lightly resting on the stream that flowed down the mountain; beside her Jade Foot, lay a Bamboo Sword that was thrust into the pool.
The Sword Cleansing Pool, as the name suggests, was specifically for washing her Purple Bamboo Sword.
"Oh..."
As Xu Yuan lowered his head to gulp down the water flowing from the Sword Cleansing Pool,
the girl was slightly stunned, then her cold eyebrows lifted slightly.
"Interesting, is she... the disciple that came back with Xueer?"
"Even if my Sword Intent is much diluted, the fact that he dares to swallow my Sword Intent is quite remarkable."
"Speaking of which..."
She suddenly lifted one delicate Jade Foot from the water, then hugged it with both hands and brought her nose close, taking a light sniff, "Good, it has no scent."
...
Xu Yuan was unaware of their thoughts, nor did he know that this was the foot-washing water from someone atop Sword Peak; even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared too much.
As long as it would make him stronger, as long as it would help him survive, it didn't matter if it was foot-washing water; even his junior sister's Healing Elixir was considered a delicacy to him.
Feeling the Sword Intent continuously pouring into his mouth.
Xu Yuan felt that this scene seemed somewhat familiar, with spiritual light flashing through his mind.
Quickly, his thoughts, spurred by his junior sister's Healing Elixir, jumped to another scene from that night.
He remembered.
Back then, after Tian Liuli asked him to come over, lie down, and open his mouth, the feeling in his mouth after he held that snow-white Jade Foot was just like this.
At that time, without his knowledge, Tian Liuli had already silently used Sword Intent to purify his body once, which was why he felt that these Sword Intents were not to be feared.
In front of a supreme being of the Immortal Realm, what did the Sword Intent of a mere Primordial Spirit count for?
"So that's how it is! I've realized it!"
The spiritual light in his mind suddenly took shape.
The next moment, Xu Yuan opened his eyes and spat out... Sword Qi.
