The little golden dragon's usually arrogant and coquettish voice became a little serious at this time, and it was transmitted to He Xi's ears in a deep voice, "Now a trace of the former master's consciousness has been imprinted in your mind, and the door to the test is officially opened. Remember, once you accept the test, you must concentrate your mind, and you cannot be distracted or stop. Once the test is interrupted, it will cause a backlash. At the least, your cultivation will be destroyed, and at the worst, you will lose your life. Do you understand?"
He Xi nodded slightly, then slowly cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind, closed his eyes, and entered into meditation mode.
The light smoke lingering around her slowly gathered and then disappeared silently into her body, as if it had completely merged into one with her.
He Xi only felt that in an instant, a magical force seemed to enter her body, and the whole person seemed to be brought into a world of emptiness.
The spiritual energy in her body was running uncontrollably at a rapid speed, and the spiritual storage space in her dantian began to slowly expand. Her cultivation, which had already reached the middle stage of foundation building, was now slowly climbing up bit by bit.
He Xi was delighted. She had never expected that the inheritance of the Purple Gold Palace could actually improve her cultivation. Could it be that this inheritance was not just about being an alchemist
However, the next moment, He Xi's expression suddenly changed.
An intense pain came from her heart, and then instantly spread to her limbs. The pain was like someone cutting her meridians with a knife, or like millions of ants crawling and biting in her bone marrow and joints. That kind of pain was simply unbearable for an ordinary person.
"Hmm—" A muffled groan came from He Xi's mouth. She wanted to give up her meditation posture and check what was wrong with her body.
At this moment, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly whispered in her ear: "To practice the Maha Heart Sutra, spirit, will, and talent are all indispensable. Little girl, your talent is good, but it is far from enough. If you want to accept my Maha inheritance, you must first pass the test of burning your heart and bones, tempering your body and refining your soul, and then you are qualified to enter."
Burning heart and corroding bones? Strengthening body and refining soul? He Xi endured the pain and raised his eyes. In a daze, he saw a slender figure of a man. The man's face was not clear, but his whole body exuded an ethereal and timeless aura, which made people unconsciously want to let down their guard and worship him.
He Xi tried to concentrate and looked at him, "Are you the master of this secret realm?"
The man smiled softly and nodded, "I am just a trace of the consciousness of Zijin Zhenren, not the real one. Little girl, you have just felt the pain of burning heart and tempering body, but that is just the surface. You can't imagine the real pain. If you regret it now, I can interrupt the inheritance for you, and you will not be harmed."
He Xi frowned and said nothing.
The man sighed and said, "The pain of burning the heart and tempering the body is definitely not something that ordinary people can endure. Little girl, you are only at the foundation-building stage, and there is no way you can pass it. This is also the reason why I set the restriction of entering the inner layer of the secret realm to those above the golden elixir stage. If you choose to give up now, you will not suffer any loss, but once the test begins, if you cannot pass it, you will surely die."
Ordinary people can never bear it? But is she Hexi an ordinary person
Thinking back to when she was in the organization's training, she was locked in a cage, without food or water for three days and three nights, fighting with her companions and with wild beasts, and when she came out, not a single piece of her body was intact. (To be continued)
