They stayed there for five days. Shang Yanting's ordinary injuries had almost healed, but his hands were only big enough to hold light things, and his legs were still immobile.

The red berries were all eaten long ago, and only six fish remained in the lake.

Jia Xitong was already planning how to find an exit when Shang Yanting suddenly suggested going into the pool to take a look.

At first, Jia Xitong objected to this.

The water in this pool is crystal clear and appears shallow, but it is actually deep.

His limbs are crippled; it would be very dangerous for him to go down.

Didn't you say I was very capable?

Shang Yanting looked at the pool, "The pool that can nurture the Wuding Silver Fish and the Wuding Secret Herb may be the greatest opportunity in itself. In my current state, wanting to cultivate is already defying the heavens and changing my fate. If I don't take a gamble, how can I possibly have a chance?"

Jia Xitong was taken aback upon hearing this.

Yes, if there's no danger where he is, then he's not the male lead.

To ensure his safety when he entered the pool, Jia Xitong "fished" the remaining six fish beforehand.

Shang Yanting climbed into the pool step by step with great difficulty.

The water in the pool is warm.

The moment Shang Yanting entered the pool, he sank instantly and couldn't float up. Jia Xitong had already used up her puppet's usage time while fishing, so she could only watch him nervously from within Shang Yanting's sea of ​​consciousness.

He held his breath the moment he entered the water.

After sinking to the bottom of the water, I touched the glowing stones with my palm and found that they were actually spirit stones!

Spirit stones are important and precious cultivation resources.

In the Aotian Continent, a spirit stone is worth at least a hundred gold coins, and those below the Martial Master level are not worthy of using spirit stones for cultivation.

As the young master of the Shangmou family, Shang Yanting earned only ten spirit stones a month after reaching the Martial Master realm, while the bottom of this pool was piled with large spirit stones!

How many are there?

It was precisely because of this that Shang Yanting became even more certain that there was an even greater opportunity in this pool of water!

He explored each piece one by one.

The veins on his neck bulged due to lack of oxygen.

The god of martial arts favors the male protagonist.

In the center of the pool, a black box stands out starkly against the backdrop of a field of spirit stones.

Open.

A book floated in the water inside the box, its cover bearing three large characters: "Cultivation Source Technique".

The book kept bobbing in the water, and Shang Yanting had reached his limit of holding his breath!

Just when she was extremely nervous, the male protagonist suddenly crossed his legs and assumed a five-heart-facing-up-the-sky posture in the water.

Is he cultivating?

Cultivating oneself in water?!

The once calm pool began to flow, forming a whirlpool around him. The spiritual energy from the spirit stones in the pool also gathered beneath Shang Yanting, and the entire pool was undergoing a dramatic change!

All the spiritual energy rushed towards him.

Rude and reckless.

The sheer amount of spiritual energy was too much for Shang Yanting's mortal body to process.

The skin began to crack, like a balloon about to burst, every inch of it enduring the pain of excessive spiritual energy.

Even Jia Xitong, who was in her sea of ​​consciousness, sensed this change.

She saw wisps of slender white gas appear in Shang Yanting's sea of ​​consciousness, rushing around, disappearing and reforming repeatedly, and becoming more and more numerous.

Finally, there was so much that Jia Xitong couldn't escape it anymore. A wisp of "qi" pierced through her soul, and her soul instantly became warm and comfortable!

She instinctively tried to capture this "qi".

At this moment, Shang Yanting's entire body was emitting light, and Jia Xitong's soul also began to emit light.

The book flipped through pages like crazy, revealing content in the blank spaces: "Book of Records: Basic Techniques".

Jia Xitong hadn't read these contents, but they appeared in her mind at the same time as they appeared in the register.

Using the knowledge in her mind, Jia Xitong performed hand seals, chanted incantations, and practiced breathing exercises to absorb and control the turbulent spiritual energy around her.

Shang Yanting's most direct feeling was that the pain was gradually lessening.

The excess spiritual energy was being digested, and the spiritual energy that had been running rampant in his body gradually became more organized. Shang Yanting followed the rules of the "Cultivation Source Technique" and gradually entered a better state.

Cultivation knows no time.

Each time spiritual energy circulates through his body for one small cycle, the spiritual stones in the pool dim slightly, until all the spiritual energy is absorbed by him.

I don't know how many days they stayed in the pool.

Shang Yanting suddenly opened his eyes—his foundation had returned! Even more solid and firm than before!

Shang Yanting stood up from the water and laboriously moved to the lakeside. Once ashore, he bowed deeply towards the center of the lake. This book, *The Cultivation Source Manual*, was precisely the technique for repairing one's foundation, giving him renewed hope for cultivation!

Thank you to the senior who shared the tips here!

On the other side, Jia Xitong in her sea of ​​consciousness also ended her passive cultivation.

Although I don't know what I was doing just now, I have a feeling that I have become stronger.

At this moment, she especially wanted to bow to Shang Yanting.

Following the male lead definitely leads to good fortune!

He leveled up, and so did I.

Although I don't know what kind of upgrade method it is, anyway... it's good.

Having repaired his foundation, Shang Yanting had nothing left to leave behind, so he prepared to depart.

"Host, you're just leaving like this?"

Jia Xitong, who had just woken up from her cultivation, was shocked. "Those grasses and fish are no longer needed?"

This is such a waste!

Was the male protagonist in the original work also wasting his time like this?

"Dear host, a new task is hereby issued to you:"

Collect rare and precious herbs: Unpredictable secret herbs - all

Collecting rare and precious items: Unstable silverfish - dorsal fin

Task Rewards: Upgraded Zhuyou Talisman *2, Upgraded Explosion Talisman *2, Upgraded Solidification Talisman *1

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shang Yanting abruptly stopped in his tracks. Were the fruiting plants and the scraped fish scales all treasures?
