"There's no need for thanks. Take me to the Body Tempering Pool."
The members of the Vajra Sect didn't dare to delay and quickly led the way.
Arriving at the pool's edge, they saw that the water was as black as ink, shimmering with a dark glow.
Withered Wood Zhenren sighed. "Beneath this pool lies the 'Vajra Mother Ore,' which was originally a sacred relic for Body Tempering."
"But the vicious Blood Bone Sect threw in nine 'Bone-Eroding Demon Crystals.'"
"When the two types of Spiritual Ore met, the pool's water was contaminated. To enter it is to suffer a death by a thousand cuts."
"In a mild case, one's skin and flesh would rot; in a severe case, one's meridians would be shredded. Even Elder Level figures dare not enter."
"Even if the Demon Crystals were removed, the pool would remain unusable for three years."
Chu Fan remained silent. He crouched down, extended a finger, and slowly dipped it into the black water.
