This sea region had plenty of islands, and after Lin Changâsheng and the others left for a moment, they found another Immortal Pool Spiritual Spring.
Lin Changâsheng didnât bother with formalities; he leapt right in.
Immediately, he activated his technique to absorb the spiritual energy in the Immortal Pool.
"It even has the effect of washing the marrow?"
As Lin Changâsheng absorbed the spiritual energy from the pool, he suddenly discovered that the pool was actually brimming with Spirit Marrow Essence.
It could penetrate deeply into a cultivatorâs body, strengthening their spirit root and physique.
Lin Changâsheng already had Perfect Foundation Establishment, a Flawless Golden Core, and now Flawless Dual Nascent Souls, so this marrow washing didnât matter much to him.
But for Yu Lingfei, Gao Ziyue, and the others, it was a big deal.
As the two girls dropped into the pool not far from Lin Changâsheng, they too noticed its effectsâtheir eyes instantly lighting up with excitement.
Their clothes were soaked through by the Immortal Pool Spiritual Spring, and they didnât realize how improper it wasâgiving Lin Changâsheng an eyeful of things he shouldnât be seeing.
His magical power churned out of control inside him, agitating the pool and sending ripples everywhere.
Only then did the girls realize, faces flushing red as they quickly crouched down, leaving just their heads showing above water.
Lin Changâsheng quickly shoved the thought aside and kept channeling the Dragon Elephant Heaven-Suppressing Technique to absorb spiritual energy.
The speed at which the technique refined spiritual energy was insane; if an ordinary person tried to absorb a pool like this, it would take them more than ten days to finish.
With Lin Changâsheng using the Dragon Elephant Heaven-Suppressing Technique, in just half an hour, he found that more than half of the poolâs spiritual energy had been depleted.
If he kept going, Yu Lingfei and Gao Ziyue wouldnât have anything left to absorb.
So Lin Changâsheng stopped, planning to find another Immortal Pool Spiritual Spring.
"Elder Ji, you all stay here and absorb; Iâll find another!"
Lin Changâsheng called out and then soared away into the sky.
That left Yu Lingfei and Gao Ziyue a little disappointed.
It wasnât long before Lin Changâsheng found yet another Immortal Pool.
These islands seemed to have plenty of Immortal Pools.
"Xiaobai, come out and get some fresh air!"
Lin Changâsheng summoned Xiaobai, so she wouldnât complain he wasnât being fair.
But as soon as Xiaobai came out, she noticed the dense spiritual energy swirling around the islands and started gulping it down.
The thick mist composed of concentrated Heaven and Earth Qi was sucked into her mouth one gulp after another.
Like a bottomless pit.
All the spiritual energy on one entire island was gone after just seven or eight gulps from Xiaobai.
"Youâyou really can absorb that much?"
Lin Changâsheng was shocked; at her rate, even this whole island wouldnât be enough for her.
"This is great! With so much Immortal Pool spiritual energy, I might recover ten percent of my magical power!"
Seeing that there were islands besides this one releasing spiritual energy, Xiaobai ignored Lin Changâsheng and transformed into a streak of light, dashing toward a distant island.
Since Lin Changâsheng still hadnât completed the Divine Soul Contract Technique with Xiaobai, she wasnât under his control at all.
"Donât go running off! Weâre not the only ones here!"
Lin Changâsheng called after her, but he couldnât be bothered to chase Xiaobai down.
He went solo and dropped into another Immortal Pool to absorb spiritual energy.
Xiaobaiâs ability to instant teleport made her almost impossible for anyone to catch.
Lin Changâsheng didnât want to waste time chasing and missing out on spiritual energy absorption.
Otherwise, when the Demon Evil Sea folks finished absorbing, theyâd probably come looking for trouble.
Falling into the Spiritual Spring, Lin Changâsheng unleashed the full power of the Ten-Headed Dragon Elephant Celestial Suppression Technique.
At once, the entire spring started rotating clockwise, with Lin Changâsheng at the eye of the vortex.
Endless spiritual energy crazily poured into his body.
At that moment, every pore on his body became a tiny whirlpool, greedily opening up to inhale all Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converging around him.
In just an hour, Lin Changâsheng had absorbed all the spiritual energy from the island.
"One more islandâs worth of spiritual energy and Iâll hit the Peak of Early Stage Nascent Soul."
After absorbing, Lin Changâsheng felt his whole body was utterly refreshedâeven his flesh and bones had been strengthened.
This was the effect of marrow washing.
Lin Changâsheng kept looking for more islands dense with spiritual energy.
But after searching several, he realized their spiritual energy was all depleted.
"Xiaobai actually absorbed this much? Not worried about bursting from it?"
Lin Changâsheng was starting to regret letting Xiaobai out; she could absorb at a crazy rate.
"She probably sucked up all the big onesâshe doesnât care for the smaller island."
Lin Changâsheng then spotted a slightly smaller island still radiating some spiritual energy.
He promptly dropped in to absorb it.
Ants might be small, but theyâre still meat! No need to waste.
By the time he finished absorbing this islandâs spiritual energy, Lin Changâsheng was likely to hit Peak Early Stage Nascent Soul.
Heâd be just one step away from a breakthrough.
"Wenjing, wait for me. Once Iâm out of Sea God Tower, Iâll come find you!"
Lin Changâsheng silently vowed.
Celestial Concealment only gave him three months, and almost two had passed.
Once he left Sea God Tower, heâd rush to Beimu Immortal Realm.
He hoped Yu Wenjing would be safe and sound.
Pushing aside his thoughts, Lin Changâsheng continued running the Dragon Elephant Heaven-Suppressing Technique, absorbing Immortal Pool spiritual energy.
This technique was truly worthy of a Burial Immortal Realm immortal techniqueâthe absorption speed was absolutely monstrous.
He figured he could clear out ten islandsâ worth of spiritual energy, while the three major Demon Evil Sea factions probably couldnât finish one.
After half an hour, Lin Changâsheng finished draining the spiritual energy on this island, and his cultivation reached Peak Early Stage Nascent Soul as heâd hoped.
His magical power was more forceful and powerful than ever.
Just as he was about to look for the next island, he faintly heard shouting.
"Hurry, catch that White Fox! That little beast dared snatch our Immortal Pool spiritual energy!"
The shouting drew closer and closer, and finally Lin Changâsheng heard what they were yelling.
So it was Xiaobai robbing their Immortal Pool energy?
Xiaobai came trotting right up to Lin Changâsheng, darted into the Spirit Beast Bag, leaving Lin Changâsheng utterly confused.
"Well played, Xiaobai. You sucked up all the spiritual energy and leave me to clean up the mess?"
Lin Changâsheng grumbled a bit.
"Letting them have all that spiritual energy would just be wasted anyway. Iâm toughening you upâif you canât beat these small fry, youâll be dead meat in Burial Immortal Realm!"
Xiaobai tossed out a snarky line and started refining the Immortal Pool energy sheâd just stolen.
This world is survival of the fittest; resources are snatched, not given.
So Xiaobai felt no guilt at all.
Lin Changâsheng was helpless, but he had no choice but to face the Demon Dao pursuers.
This time, the pursuers were from Demon Evil Seaâs Yin Yang Hall.
Their clothes bore a design of two spinning skulls.
The leader wore a pair of black and white masksâthe Yin Yang Hallâs Black and White Dual Tributor, both at the Peak of Early Stage Nascent Soul.
