For the past two days of training, the disheveled old man's attacks had become increasingly intense. Even though he no longer ordered Chen Ping'an to skin himself and sever his own tendons, he still used the Deity Drumming Technique to punch the young boy again and again, with each punch dealing more damage than the last. Chen Ping'an was genuinely pummeled to the verge of collapse.
Outside the bamboo building, the little girl in pink was absent-mindedly eating sunflower seeds. Her lips were already split, yet she was still completely unaware of this. As for the little boy in azure, he was silently cultivating by the cliff with a solemn expression. Not only was he relying on his innately powerful physical constitution to digest the high-quality snake gall pebble in his stomach, but he was also trying his best to concentrate and not be disturbed by the harrowing scenes inside the bamboo building.
In fact, little did the water snake from the Imperial River know that this was in fact a grand fated opportunity to cultivate both his body and his mind. Not only could he nurture his Qi, but he could also temper his Qi. Inside his body, it was as if powerful waves were slamming into large pillars that stood amid rivers. This was an extremely rare opportunity.
The little girl in pink would feel uneasy at times, and whenever this happened, she would reach over to run her hands over the bamboo building. Even though the characters that Li Xisheng had written on the bamboo walls weren't visible anymore, she had already committed all of them to memory. She remembered all of the characters, and she even remembered all of the character strokes.

This was also a form of cultivation.
In terms of snake gall pebbles, it was naturally the case that the more the better. This was a treasure that all of the flood dragons and their ilk dreamed of obtaining. However, this treasure also adhered to the hidden notion of "one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand".
Wei Bo had revealed a secret regarding this before, and he had explained a concept to the two little children. After eating the first high-quality snake gall pebble, it would take impure flood dragon descendants approximately one year to digest it. The little girl in pink — a fire python — had a weaker physical constitution, so it would take her even longer. Perhaps it would take her 13 to 14 months. However, the little boy in azure had a stronger physical constitution, so it would only take him a little over half a year.
Digesting the second high-quality snake gall pebble wouldn't be as easy. It would take them 10 years of hard work to properly digest. As for the third one, it would take them 100 years and slow and steady work to gradually chip away at it. For the fourth one, they would need to endure for a lengthy 1000 years....
