Chapter 1607 — Chapter 1607 The Real Boot Camp

In the blink of an eye, several weeks have passed since Yuan entered the Primal Expanse, and his group started training with Kelan.

"We'll return in three days." Meixiu notified Kelan of their absence due to Eternal Lotuses' boot camp.

"That's fine. Make sure to pass on my message to Yuan." Kelan nodded in acknowledgment.

"Of course."

After logging off together, Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang were greeted by the sound of heavenly music coming from their balcony. When they looked at the balcony, they could see Yuan playing the zither.

They joined him on the balcony and waited for him to finish. Sometime later, they talked about their training with Kelan and conveyed his message.

"How's your training with Kelan? I haven't known him for long, but he's definitely one of the strongest people I've met." Yuan asked.

"It's only been a few weeks, and my prowess has already increased significantly. While Manager Liya trains us through brute force and teaches us how to fight, Kelan trains us individually and focuses on our weaknesses and foundation." Chu Liuxiang said.

Meixiu nodded, agreeing with her, and said, "I never thought having a proper teacher would have such drastic differences. I wouldn't be surprised if he has many disciples under him."

"I guess I'll have to thank him once I return." Yuan smiled.

"Speaking of your situation, how is it?" Meixiu asked.

"The same as usual. We've been traveling at a speed that even I cannot comprehend without any rest, but we're still many months away from our destination. The Primal Expanse is unfathomably massive."

"Kelan has a message for you. He said that Lady Xu is currently researching the Primal Expanse and would you like to learn as much about it as you can."

He nodded, "I was already planning on doing that. Although the Primal Expanse exists outside the Nine Heavens, it is still connected to them in some way."

Sometime later, the Demon Sealing Faction made their way to the Eternal Lotuses' residence.

When they arrived, around 90 percent of their members were standing in a formation, waiting for their arrival.

"There's more people here than I expected." Wang Ming commented after he saw this. He'd only expected half of them after what they experienced last time.

The Eternal Lotuses members trembled after seeing Wang Ming and the others smile.

"Even if the majority of you quit after today, I applaud you for showing up and giving it a chance despite what you experienced during the trial." Shi Lang said to them.

"What you will experience in the next three days will be much harsher than the trial, but you will definitely become much stronger." Wang Bingbing said.

The group swallowed nervously at such words, and many of them had regretful expressions on their faces.

After the introductions, they were split into smaller groups again to make training more effective.

However, Yuan did not participate and only watched as a spectator. Though, he would occasionally give advice to the instructor, as well as the participants.

The boot camp was gruesome and spartan-like, with the participants training until they threw up or fainted. Ten percent of the participants gave up within an hour, and fifty percent gave up in just the first half of the day.

By the end of the day, only thirty percent remained.

"Good job enduring today. Now, you just need to endure the next two." Wang Ming said, reminding them that the boot camp was a three-day event.

One of the participants then asked out loud, "That's physically impossible! We're all completely drained! We won't have enough energy tomorrow, much less for the remaining two days!"

Yuan stepped forward and said, "Don't worry. We have something that will not only help you with your recovery but also strengthen your body simultaneously."

"Really? What is it?"

"A medicine bath," he said. "There's a public hot spring available on the Dragon Spiral Mountain. I have already reserved the whole place, too."

"A hot spring?"

The participants were excited upon hearing this.

After giving them some time to recover enough energy to walk, they descended the mountain until they reached the lower area, where the hot spring was located.

An old lady was waiting for them outside when they arrived.

"Welcome to the Dragon Hot Spring, Young Master Yuan." The old lady bowed to him respectfully.

The hot spring was divided into two sections: one for males and another for females, each spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a thousand people. As the exhausted participants submerged themselves in the medicinally enhanced waters, they felt the exhaustion swiftly drain from their bodies.

"Wow! What kind of magical water is this?! I have never felt anything like this before!"

"All of my exhaustion went away like smoke! How is that possible?!"

The participants couldn't believe the hot spring's potent effect. "If I had known there was a place like this here, I would've come here every day!" However, Wang Bingbing said, "Actually, this is just a normal hot spring, so you wouldn't get to experience this if you come here at another time. This medicine bath was specifically prepared for you by Yuan."

Meanwhile, at the male's side, Wang Ming asked, "What kind of medicine did you put in here, Yuan? I would like to bathe in this once in a while."

"Medicine? I didn't put any medicine in here," he calmly said.

"Huh? Then what did you put in here?"

"I fused my spiritual energy with the water, so you're bathing in my spiritual energy," he revealed.

"What…?"

Everyone there looked at him with wide eyes.

"You can do such a thing with spiritual energy? I didn't know that." Shi Lang muttered.

"The concept is similar to transferring your spiritual energy to another individual to replenish their energy. However, in this case, since there isn't any method to contain the spiritual energy, you will need to constantly fuse your spiritual energy with the water, or it'll quickly lose effect."

"In other words, only you can do something like this." Wu Zao said.

"Once you increase your cultivation, you can also do it. However, unless someone does it for you, it wouldn't benefit you." Yuan explained.
