Chapter 120 Tempering
As that concentrated drop of life-giving essence slid down my throat, an indescribable and wondrous feeling instantly spread throughout my body.
It was as if every cell was bathed in warm and pure energy, beginning an unprecedented journey of sublimation.
Wu Heyi could clearly feel the subtle changes happening within himself; he felt as if he had become slightly younger.
However, since he is still some distance from being 20, this youthful appearance is not particularly noticeable.
Nevertheless, the previously sluggish nerve pathways inside the body now seemed to have been revitalized, throbbing joyfully and transmitting a continuous stream of life force to every corner of the body.
Wu Heyi glanced at the mysterious spring with curiosity and anticipation, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
Was it greed that drove him to want to obtain more of the life-giving spring, or was it the courage hidden deep within his heart that prompted him to challenge the unknown?
After a brief moment of thought, he finally decided to give it another try.
As far as he knew, this spring produced an average of one drop of precious life-giving water per minute.
Logically, some spring water should remain on the ground.
Surprisingly, this is not the case.
It turns out that the gravity here is as high as 50 times, which means that the spring water that just gushed out could not stay on the surface for even a moment before disappearing directly into the ground.
Even more miraculously, these springs did not disappear without a trace, but were quickly absorbed by the nearby plants.
As a result, the vegetation in this area is exceptionally lush.
They are lush and vibrant, and some have even shown a tendency to evolve into spiritual herbs.
These plants thrive under the nourishment of the life-giving spring, radiating a unique brilliance as if they possessed some kind of spirituality.
Wu Heyi took a deep breath and stood up abruptly. With a wave of his hands, several beams of light flashed, and several crystals emitting a mysterious glow appeared in his hands.
These crystals represent all the possessions he currently owns.
Wu Heyi carefully placed these precious crystals at the edge of the fifty-fold gravity zone of the spring.
This place is extremely dangerous, but it is the only place where he can make the most of the crystal.
He knew very well that if he encountered an emergency situation where he could not save himself, he would not hesitate to use the power of these crystals to summon the armor.
Even if he were given only a single second to perform the meditation mudra, he was confident he could successfully escape this terrifying gravitational field.
After completing all the preparations, Wu Heyi once again resolutely stepped into the fifty times gravity zone, which was full of death threats.
The instant he entered, a gravity fifty times greater than normal surged towards him like a mountain crushing an egg, and at the same time, a life energy so dense it was almost tangible also rushed in like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Heyi's legs involuntarily bent down, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop".
However, unlike the first time, this time he was not crushed instantly like a flower ravaged by a storm.
On the contrary, despite the unimaginable pressure on his body, he persevered tenaciously.
At this moment, Wu Heyi could clearly feel that his resistance to fifty times the gravity was gradually increasing.
The feeling was amazing, as if his body was automatically adjusting and adapting to the harsh environmental conditions around him.
Not only that, he also keenly sensed that his own life energy was draining away at an alarming rate, and the soul power that should have been under his control was now unrestrained, running wildly on its own within his body.
Fortunately, the continuous flow of life energy from outside the body seemed to sense his predicament and was constantly pouring into his body, providing him with crucial supplies and support.
Although being in such an environment for a short period of time will not have obvious adverse effects on the body, if one stays there for a long time, even if life energy can be replenished continuously and in a timely manner, the internal tissues of the body will still inevitably suffer damage.
After all, continuous external pressure and wear and tear will eventually exceed the limits that the human body can withstand.
Wu Heyi waited anxiously. Time passed second by second, and a full half minute later, the incomparably precious drop of life spring finally slowly condensed and took shape.
Wu Heyi dared not be negligent in the slightest. He used all his strength and with great difficulty, he controlled the bottle in his hand and carefully caught it.
The moment he successfully received the life-giving spring, he immediately began to move rapidly outwards without hesitation.
This time, Lady Luck seemed to favor Wu Heyi; although the whole process was extremely dangerous, it ultimately ended without any real harm.
When he successfully stepped out of this dangerous area and returned to the 20x zone, an indescribable sense of exhilaration surged into his heart, as if every cell in his body was cheering and jumping for joy.
At the same time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his soul power level had also been significantly improved, by a full half level!
After catching his breath, Wu Heyi had a sudden thought. He took out the bottle containing the Fountain of Life again, gently opened the cap, and poured the only drop of the Fountain of Life into his mouth.
In an instant, a warm and gentle life energy flowed through his body like a trickle.
Wherever it went, it not only washed away all the impurities that had accumulated in his body, but also carried out a meticulous repair work on the physical damage caused by being in an environment with 50 times the gravity.
Wu Heyi knew that this hard-won life energy needed to be carefully refined to exert its maximum effect, so he sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and guided this powerful energy to circulate through his meridians without distraction.
Time slipped by unnoticed, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye. After this long period of refinement and absorption, Wu Heyi slowly opened his eyes and stood up.
At this moment, he felt his aura surging, as if he had been reborn, and his strength had reached a new level.
Wu Heyi deeply felt the immense benefits brought by the Spring of Life. Although it was getting dark, this could not stop his eagerness to improve his strength.
With high expectations and unwavering faith, Wu Heyi stepped into the mysterious and dangerous 50x zone without hesitation once again.
Surprisingly, this time he wasn't forced to his knees by the immense pressure as he had before.
Through continuous effort and adaptation, his legs were able to barely support his body in this area.
It was merely struggling to maintain its balance in a slightly strenuous half-squatting position, remaining in this challenging environment.
And so, Wu Heyi persevered and repeatedly underwent such trials on this isolated island.
For three whole days, he was like a tireless warrior, always maintaining high morale and tenacious perseverance.
On average, Wu Heyi would bravely venture into the 50x zone approximately every two hours.
However, he only stayed inside for a short time each time.
Because he knew all too well that staying there for even a second longer would increase the risk immensely.
Therefore, once he successfully receives the precious spiritual spring, he will immediately and without hesitation leave the area.
Afterward, Wu Heyi would spend the next two hours concentrating on refining the spiritual spring he had just obtained, gradually integrating the surging energy contained within it into himself.
After completing the refining process, he would unhesitatingly plunge back into the 50x zone, quietly awaiting the birth of the next drop of spiritual spring water. The cycle would repeat itself endlessly…
