WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 115: The Whirlpool of Mental Qi Gatherers

"The Yin Yang Energy is so strong and pure!"

The moment Lin Dong entered the 'Dan Heavenly Column', he immediately felt a powerful energy filling the pond. This was the first time Lin Dong had found an energy this strong.

"No wonder this 'Celestial And Pool' can greatly reduce the time to reach the Yuan Dan Stage ..." Lin Dong suddenly had a flash of consciousness. His efforts this time were not in vain.

"I have to be fast and absorb the energy here ..."

Lin Dong's gaze swept around him. In the distance, he saw Xia Zhilan and the other two floating in the pond. However, the three of them had long since closed their eyes and entered a state of cultivation. A powerful suction force was constantly being emitted from their bodies, which absorbed the powerful Yin Yang energy into their bodies.

After seeing Xia Zhilan and the other two were already racing against time to absorb the energy from 'Dan Heavenly Columns', Lin Dong no longer stayed and sat cross-legged in the pond. He activated the Qingyuan Art as the open channel released suction power, absorbing the pure and powerful Yin Yang Energy.

It had to be said that the energy of the 'Celestial And Pool' was at least several times stronger than the outside world. Lin Dong had just started and he had already felt a gentle stream emerge from within the pond before finally following his open channel to be absorbed into his body.

Under this infusion, Lin Dong could clearly feel the bundle of Yuan Power Qi within his dantian growing stronger at an impressive speed.

"As expected of the 'Heavenly Columns Dan'..."

The sensation of feeling the Yuan Power within the Dantian increase bit by bit caused an irresistible excitement to appear on Lin Dong's face. But this happiness did not last long as his brows were slightly furrowed. He had discovered that the speed at which he absorbed the energy in the Celestial Dan Pool was actually slower than Xia Zhilan and the other two.

"This god cursed the Qingyuan Art, it was too useless!"

After realizing this situation, Lin Dong could not help but feel a little angry. It was only now that he discovered just how important that high-level Secret Art was. Even when he used the 'Qingyuan Art' to the maximum, his absorption speed still could not match Xia Zhilan and the other two.

Under his Mental Energy consciousness, he could tell that Xia Zhilan had a total of fifteen suction points while Liu Yi had twelve and even Xia Shi had ten. This meant that the Secret Art they trained could open at least ten channels. Compared to them, Lin Dong's seven channels of Qingyuan Art were truly pitiful.

"Other times I should get a better Secret Art!"

Lin Dong clenched his teeth as he decided on this idea. No matter how expensive it was, he definitely had to obtain a decent Secret Art!

However, that was a problem for the next time. Right now, Lin Dong could only enjoy this pitiful level of absorption …

Gazing sharply at Xia Zhilan and the other two, Lin Dong felt a little dissatisfied. He had taken a great risk to offend the Blood Wolf Guild to help, therefore, he did not want to lose the benefits of this Celestial Dan Pool.

"Heh heh, little one, do you want to absorb the Yin Yang Energy here faster?" While Lin Dong helplessly gritted his teeth, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

The sudden arrival of the voice caused Lin Dong to be surprised but he quickly clenched his right hand. The voice was clearly from the mysterious little marten inside the Stone Talisman.

"Don't make a fuss, if you want to talk to this marten grandpa, put your Mental Energy into the Stone Talisman."

After hearing these words, Lin Dong was stunned. Immediately after, he sent a trail of Mental Energy to the Stone Talisman as he voiced out a thought: "You can help me?"

"Of course." The little marten's rude voice immediately replied.

“Why so good?” Lin Dong was a bit suspicious as he asked. Although this little marten had a mysterious origin, he was very cautious around him and never took the initiative to help him.

“Heh heh, grandfather marten is definitely not a person who wants to build good relationships with others. I've got a way to help you quickly absorb the Yin Yang Energy here, however, you should help me later. ” The little Marten laughed eccentricly.

"Don't you say you don't have much power?" Lin Dong replied without batting an eye.

“I'll just give you a technique that can increase your absorption speed. The rest still depends on you.”

"What do you want me to help you with?" Lin Dong's eyes turned around and did not immediately agree.

"I can feel a little something deep under the pool, you'll go and see it later .." said the little marten.

“There's something? What'sthat?" Lin Dong was first stunned before he quickly asked.

“I'm not too sure either, I can hardly feel it. As for what it is, we'll know later. Are you ready or not? If you delay any further, the energy in this pond will probably be sucked in by the other three. ” Little Marten urged him.

"Buzz!"

In the instance when Lin Dong nodded, information suddenly appeared in his head.

Qi Gathering Mental Vortex, Secret Spirit Skills ...

What came to Lin Dong's mind was a Secret Spirit Skill, and yet, he had no idea what level it was. Lin Dong pondered for a moment as astonishment suddenly flashed in his eyes as he muttered: "To think that Mental Energy can really be used in this way, it really opens the eyes ..."

This so-called Qi Gathering Mental Vortex did not have any offensive power but seemed to be purely supportive. The effect was to condense the Mental Energy vortex through special methods and this Mental Energy vortex had absorption power even though Lin Dong was not how much better compared to his 'Qingyuan Art.

To abbreviate 'Qi Gathering Mental Vortex' was not difficult. However, he needed to make sure the vortex matched some specific acupuncture points. If he messed this up, it would disrupt the flow of Yuan Power in his body. Fortunately, the information from the little marten was very complete, so Lin Dong did not injure himself. He lightly inhaled as waves of powerful Mental Energy gushed out from his Niwan Palace.

Mental Energy gathered at one point on the upper right of his dantian and under Lin Dong's control, it condensed into a vortex.

Even with detailed instructions, Lin Dong still failed the first two times. On his third experiment, he finally managed to form a complete 'Vortex Mental Qi Collection.

"Buzz!"

In the instance when the 'Vortex Mental Qi Collection was successfully formed, a humming sound immediately sounded. As the vortex rotated, it emitted an extremely powerful suction force!

"Sweals!"

When this suction force suddenly exploded, the pool water around Lin Dong immediately whistled as a powerful stream of Yin and Yang Energy, which could be seen with the naked eye, was, it quickly bubbled out of the pond water before flowing into the Mental Energy vortex above Lin. Dong's dantian was like an endless stream.

In the same example, the entire pond began to churn as a whirlpool formed around Lin Dong's body as he sat in the middle, swallowing a powerful and pure energy.

"That guy!"

This sudden change caused Xia Zhilan and the other two to be shocked. When they saw Lin Dong practically plundering the energy in the Celestial Dan Pool, they were shocked. Xia Zhilan could not help but curse as the three of them quickly increased their Secret Art output to its limit. According to this trend, if they did not hurry and absorb, all the energy in the entire Celestial Dan Pool would be sucked clean by Lin Dong.

However, the efforts of the three were clearly no longer a threat to Lin Dong after he used this 'cheating method. Lin Dong ignored them as he urged the Mental Energy vortex and greedily absorbed the energy in the Celestial And Pool.

Under this whale-like absorption, the bundle of Yuan Power Qi in Lin Dong's Dantian strengthened at an almost insane rate.

And while the Yuan Energy within the Dantian was rapidly strengthening, the extremely abundant energy was also spreading throughout Lin Dong's body…

“Late Stage of Heavenly Yuan!”

When he sensed this sudden change within his body, excitement bubbled in Lin Dong's heart. With the help of the energy in the Celestial Dan Pool, he had finally managed to advance to the Heavenly Yuan Late Stage!

“Hehehe..”.

Although he had managed to reach the Heavenly Yuan Late Stage, Lin Dong did not plan to stop. Condensing Yuan Dan was not an easy matter and since there was a good opportunity today, he naturally needed to make use of it and absorb more pure Yin Yang Energy. This would greatly help him in shortening the time to condense Yuan Dan and even improve the quality of the Yuan Dan formed!

This seemingly insatiable absorption continued for half an hour until Lin Dong felt that the bundle of Yuan Power Qi in his dantian could not be strengthened any further. Only then did he reluctantly stop. With a flick of his mind, the vortex of Mental Energy above his dantian dispersed. Although this 'Vortex Mental Qi Collection' did not possess any attacking abilities, the amount that increased Yuan Power cultivation was not small.

“Brat, you've absorbed enough. It was time to go down and look..” When Lin Dong stopped, that little marten voice once again sounded.

“Don't worry, because I promised, I won't deny it.”

Lin Dong smiled as he replied before tilting his head down to look at the deep area of the 'Celestial And Pool'. To be honest, he was also somewhat interested in the thing below that managed to attract the interest of the mysterious little marten.

“There is still time before Xia Zhilan and the other two are finished. I might as well take this opportunity to see it .. ”

Lin Dong glanced at Xia Zhilan and the other two who were still concentrating on absorbing the energy. After muttering to himself for a while, he no longer hesitated as his body swiftly swam like a fish towards the pitch-blackness of the bottom of the pond while wearing Yuan Power.
