Chapter 913: Chapter 913: Change of Appearance

Gradually, you felt a bit tired, and just as you prepared to head to shore, a jolt of inspiration struck your mind. So you tentatively activated the "Gate of Life."

"Gate of Life, activate!"

Once the Gate of Life was open, you immediately sensed the extremely rich presence of Original True Qi in the surroundings. Although you didn’t understand the reason, you were extremely excited to discover that the speed of absorbing Original True Qi here was definitely much faster than anywhere else.

Of course, since the pool was quite deep, you couldn’t move while absorbing the Original True Qi, so you went ashore.

After emerging from the water, you could still feel the dense Original True Qi, but the rate of absorption was much slower.

Afterward, through repeated experimentation, you concluded that you needed to be under some pressure to increase the rate at which you absorbed Spiritual Energy. The only problem was that the area surrounding the pool wasn’t sufficient; the pace was still very slow, and only at the bottom of the pool could you achieve the fastest rate of absorbing Original True Qi.

Unfortunately, you couldn’t stay at the bottom of the pool for even a minute.

This made you quite distressed, but your indomitable spirit was surging once more. You repeatedly traveled between the surface and the bottom of the pool until the sunset painted the sky. Only then did you gather your belongings and descend the mountain with a defeated look on your face.

Although you had found a place rich in Spiritual Energy, it was frustrating not to have a better method. As you walked, evening fell, and by then you had entered the city, strolling on the bustling streets of West Market. Unintentionally, you saw that woman in a cloak setting up her stall again.

For some reason, as if possessed by a spirit, you once again approached her stall and slowly squatted down.

"Grumble~"

Your stomach suddenly let out an embarrassing growl. You touched it and sheepishly smiled at the woman. Her face was covered by a piece of black cloth, and all you could see were her clear eyes, which seemed to penetrate the whole world. What surprised you was that her pupils were a deep brown color, very beautiful, and her lively eyes were like charged with high voltage, nearly making you shamelessly spray.

"Cough," you cleared your throat and then pulled out a silver ingot from your bosom.

"You’ve already paid. The money you gave is enough to buy a month’s supply of my goods," the woman’s voice was obviously feigned, a bit hoarse, making it hard to guess her age, but you surmised she was no more than twenty-five.

"Heh, they say that women who trade are exceptionally smart. Let’s make a deal. I’m faced with a difficult problem right now, and if you can help me solve it, I will give you a silver ingot every day."

"Speak."

"Good, I like confident women," you said after thinking for a moment. "I can only practice my family’s Martial Arts underwater, but I don’t know the Fetal Breathing Technique. Can you solve this problem for me?"

As soon as you finished speaking, you saw the woman’s long eyelashes twitch slightly, and her answer came quickly: "That’s simple. Just practice under a waterfall. It has the same water pressure."

"Damn! Why didn’t I think of that!" You were so excited that you almost hugged the clever woman, but you didn’t. Instead, you respectfully placed the silver ingot before her stall, smiling, "That’s wonderful, it seems I’ve made quite a gain today! I will leave you a silver ingot every day as I pass by here!"

"No need, the fifty silver taels are your payment to me," the woman’s voice remained hoarse and cold.

"Whether you want it or not, I’ll still give it to you. I, Luo Yun, always mean what I say," you laughed heartily and turned to leave. Your steps seemed heavy, but within that heaviness was a lively rhythm.

The next morning, you were back on the bustling streets of West Market. Just like yesterday, the woman merchant was at the same spot. You naturally picked up a trinket and left a fifty-tael silver ingot before leaving.

"Hey, Luo Yun! I already told you, the fifty taels from yesterday are enough."

You didn’t turn back, just waved your hand and continued on with heavy footsteps.

After walking for nearly an hour, you arrived below the cliff from yesterday, looking at the waterfall that seemed to plunge straight down, and couldn’t help but swallow. The waterfall was truly fearsome, with a drop that was at least a hundred meters high and with ferocious flowing water. You feared you’d be swept into the pool like a small pebble before even entering the water.

You walked around the pool’s edge and found a spot beneath the waterfall where the water’s force was slightly less. A rock there had been smoothed by the water’s erosion, and you could sit on it.

Initially, you sat down while wearing your heavy Samurai clothes, but once in the water, your body felt like it was being crushed, which was unbearably uncomfortable.

As you prepared to take off the samurai clothes, you stopped, hesitated for a moment, shook your teeth, and sat again under the waterfall. Clenching your teeth, you settled into a cross-legged position, allowing the continuous rush of water to hammer your sizable frame.

In the beginning, you couldn’t withstand the forceful pounding of the water for half an hour, but with tireless effort, within a week, not only could you sit still for an entire day, but you could even move to places with stronger currents.

The fruits of your seven days of hard work were increasing exponentially.

Under the strong pressure of the water, the speed at which you absorbed Original True Qi gradually increased, and to your amazement, you discovered slight changes in your once chaotic body. The Heavenly Aura seemed to merge into the chaos, acting like a scavenger cleaning through your turbulent form.

Another pleasure you found was the bodily changes. According to Luo Xin, your body was subtly growing taller, and Little Yue pointed out more directly that she could now only see your chin, and your clothes needed to be remade, as they had become somewhat loose.

You didn’t bother to measure your height, feeling it unnecessary; it was enough to know your body was changing.

Half a month flew by, and after more than half a month of arduous Cultivation, your appearance had undergone significant alterations.

According to measurements, you stood roughly at 1.7 meters, which meant you had grown over ten centimeters taller than before. Moreover, the unsightly birthmarks on your face were falling off, revealing smoother skin, and the fat on your body was gradually decreasing. At least now, standing before a copper mirror, you no longer saw yourself as a loathsome maggot.

Night fell, and you stood alone in the courtyard, looking up at the sky. The evening breeze was gentle, and the bright moon hung in the air, painting a beautiful scene. From a distance came a soulful melody of the Guqin, its sound filled with yearning and sorrow, tugging at your heart. At that moment, the image of Zi Yi’s stunningly beautiful face naturally surfaced in your mind.
