Xu Jin suddenly opened his eyes in shock.
All over his body, including the back of his hands, there was a black, sweat-like substance.
Especially on his chest and back, there was an even thicker layer of black, grease-like residue, so pungent that Xu Jin was about to hold his breath.
"The first Purification, and you are quite fast at it. Others need three days, but you only took half a day," Qi Shanye said while stepping back and covering his nose, "Kid, if you don’t want this room to be uninhabitable for three days, go take a bath right now!"
Hearing this, Xu Jin scurried out like a rabbit to the yard, drew water directly from the well next to it, and poured it over his head.
But he could only rinse away the surface grime; the greasy black layer on his chest wouldn’t wash off.
In the end, Xu Jin had to hurry to the Taoist Institute’s bathhouse and used quite a bit of soapberry, washing himself five times before he was clean.
"How can it be so foul?"
On his way back, Xu Jin simply threw away the clothes that had been stained with filth.
Better not trouble Jiang’er’s delicate hands with this.
"Nature produces everything to nourish people; when we eat, there are some parts that can’t be expelled, including useless or even harmful substances, which accumulate permanently in the body. This is one of the reasons why people start falling ill after their youth.
At the same time, this is the main reason why many Dining Dawn Seventh Layer cultivators can live to eighty without illness or disaster.
Regularly refining the body with Star Power can expel the impurities and toxins that accumulate within.
Usually, after three Purification sessions, one can achieve a Pure Body, which makes cultivation way more efficient, and the Star Power limit will also greatly increase," Qi Shanye explained.
Actually, Xu Jin had already begun to notice something.
Just after the first Purification, he felt as light as a feather, a kind of ease from the inside out, even more liberating than a massage in his previous life.
"Yes, three Purification sessions can refine out a Pure Body, which is a basic requirement for Star Casting.
It’s a pity that Lingji Star Hall is closed; otherwise, I could have gotten you a few top-grade Transcendence Pills, which would allow you to undergo Purification five times and achieve a Purity Body, and then I could use my Star Power to perform Star Fusion Refining Body on you, at the very least achieving Purification six times."
At this point, Qi Shanye’s voice paused, "But it doesn’t matter, after your three Purifications, I’ll use my Star Power to perform Star Fusion Refining Body on you, and at the very least, you’ll be able to undergo Purification five times and achieve a Purity Body.
Generally speaking, the top prodigies of the major Star Halls all reach six Purifications, but you only lack one, so the gap is not big.
I’ll look in the next few days to see if I can find you a top-grade Transcendence Pill."
Xu Jin finally understood.
The three Purifications at the time of Dining Dawn Seventh Layer was just for most people.
"Teacher, what is the difference between this Pure Body and the Purity Body?"
"Let me put it this way for you: Dining Dawn Seventh Layer is the foundation of Star Casting and the foundation of cultivation.
In the future, all the increases in your Cultivation Level, including the quality of Star Casting, will be based on the foundation of Dining Dawn Seventh Layer.
A Pure Body can at most produce a Middle-Grade Star Core; this is its limit.
But a Purity Body can produce a top-grade Star Core.
If you manage to undergo Purification six times, then your Star Power and Star Core have a very small chance of forming a Top-Grade Star Core.
And the difference in the total amount of Star Power contained in these various grades of Star Core is signifi..."
Suddenly, in the midst of speaking, Qi Shanye’s expression changed, "No good, someone’s coming, with no small Cultivation Level. I need to stay far away."
In the instant he spoke, Qi Shanye disappeared, his voice and silhouette completely gone, but there was still a trace of his scent left, which Xu Jin’s Spirit Sniffing Star Pattern could detect.
About ten seconds after Qi Shanye disappeared,
There was a banging knock at the door of Xu Jin’s courtyard.
When Xu Jin opened it, he was surprised to find Ning Yuchan.
What was Ning Yuchan doing here in the dead of night?
