"Done!"
As Jian Chen'an completed the fiftieth lap, he immediately reached out and quickly took the weights from his three junior brothers.
Huang Derui also lent a hand.
The two of them ran fifty laps without weights, looking quite relaxed.
"Quick."
Wu Zongshen also came over with a large bag of things in a hurry.
As the weights were removed, the three disciples instantly collapsed on the ground.
They were all gasping for breath almost at the same time, and their bodies had already begun to involuntarily use spiritual energy to help them absorb oxygen.
Not only were they gasping for breath, but the three of them also had a gagging reflex. If it weren't for the spiritual energy helping them, they probably would have vomited.
After the three of them felt a little better, Wu Zongshen gave them water and food.
After they had eaten, the three disciples finally managed to recover.
"Senior Brother! I can't take it anymore!"
After eating, the previous troublemaker wiped his mouth and said, "I can't understand. We are, after all, disciples of the Misty Immortal Palace! In this place, for this month, what have we learned? What effect does constantly undergoing physical punishment have? We pursue the supreme divine path! We pursue the same realm as our ancestors!"
"But! What are we doing now? Running laps? Running laps like ordinary people?!"
His emotions were very agitated. It was clear that the reason he became the troublemaker was entirely because he couldn't stand it anymore.
After these fifty laps, he hated this place even more.
"Calm down."
Wu Zongshen frowned and looked at Jian Chen'an. "Explain it to him. My disciples of the Misty Immortal Palace shouldn't be so dull."
"Yes, Senior Brother."
Jian Chen'an quickly said, "You, junior brother, haven't seen the essence of the problem."
"The essence?"
"Yes, the essence," Jian Chen'an immediately said. "Tell me, why are we here? Isn't it for the sake of improving ourselves?"
"Let's not talk about me. Look at yourself. How long have you been stuck at the peak of the Cave Profound realm? My master and uncles have guided you countless times, but you've never entered the Clear Heart realm. Why? Because you haven't clarified your own vision and knowledge, haven't understood where your heart is, and haven't understood why we have always cultivated in the Misty Immortal Palace."
Jian Chen'an patted his shoulder. "Listen to your senior brother. Here, you cultivate every day, feel the changes in your body, feel the changes in your state of mind, and then you will understand."
"Changes?"
He looked at his hands and shook his head. "Senior Brother, I don't feel any changes. I just know I can't stand it anymore!"
"Foolish."
Wu Zongshen said coldly, "Don't you look at your meridians? Your control over your true qi and spiritual energy? Physical training allows you to better control the true qi and spiritual energy within your body. Before, it required consuming thirty percent of your true qi, but now, it should only require twenty percent. Details that you couldn't discover before should now be clearer."
"Have you already forgotten that day when you were defeated by that junior from the Ning family, fighting four against one? I asked. That person is a冥医 (Ming Yi), and he also came from this Northern Territory." Wu Zongshen snorted lightly.
