Xu Chunniang closed her eyes and released her spiritual sense, covering every corner of the inner space.
Although she had never come into contact with the formation inheritance of the fairy world, the essence of the formation is to use objects to accomplish things and to take advantage of the situation.
Based on the magic items used by the person who set up the formation and his techniques, it can be deduced that in addition to the most important ability to gather energy and form a small world of its own, this formation also has several other functions such as calming the mind and concealment.
What's even more rare is that each formation is independent of each other, yet interconnected, forming a small world isolated from the outside world.
Although this is just an ordinary mid-grade Ascension Platform, it is not difficult to see that the person who set up the formation spent a lot of thought in arranging this Ascension Platform.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes, a look of emotion flashing in her eyes. She originally thought that the Ascension Platform was just an upgraded version of the Spirit Gathering Array, but now it seems that she had underestimated it.
Unfortunately, there was no formation diagram. Even if she understood the principles and structure of the Ascension Platform, she could not replicate it perfectly.
Xu Chunniang felt a little regretful, but she knew in her heart that comprehending the art of formations would require a lot of time and energy. For her now, the most important thing was to earn immortal crystals rather than learning formations.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, suppressed the regret in her heart, chose a place with the best energy gathering effect, and began to meditate.
The method of using the Ascension Platform is very simple. You only need to place the prepared immortal crystals at the designated location, and the formation will automatically convert these immortal crystals into pure immortal energy for the user to absorb.
The higher the grade of the Ascension Platform, the more immortal crystals can be converted at the same time, and the purer the immortal energy converted will be.
One day of cultivation in a mid-grade immortal platform is equivalent to ten to thirty days of hard training, and the minimum daily consumption is one hundred immortal crystals.
Xu Chunniang thought about it and decided to start with one hundred fairy crystals.
After placing the one hundred fairy crystals at the designated locations, a series of "click" sounds were heard, and the crystal clear fairy crystals cracked one after another, and a large amount of fairy energy spilled out from them.
After seeing the formation start to work, Xu Chunniang tried to meditate and practice.
With each breath, as the technique was practiced, the surrounding immortal energy was drawn in and continuously absorbed into the body with a peculiar rhythm, and poured onto the Dao Fruit.
The Dao Fruit was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much immortal energy it absorbed, there was no reaction at all, and there was no sign of growth at all.
Xu Chunniang had long been accustomed to it. Unless a large amount of immortal energy was absorbed in a short period of time, the Taoist fruit would only grow a little bit.
While practicing, she carefully felt the speed of the spiritual energy entering her body and shook her head secretly.
Did this increase her cultivation speed tenfold? It didn't seem to be much faster than her usual cultivation speed.
Thinking of this, Xu Chunniang was slightly stunned, and then she realized something belatedly.
The speed of cultivation is related to the amount of immortal crystals and the grade of the formation, but the biggest influence is actually the cultivation method.
The reason why she was able to cultivate so quickly was most likely due to the blessing of the Tai Shang Xiao Yao Heart Sutra.
The quality of the cultivation method is directly related to the speed of cultivation, and is even closely related to the strength of the practitioner.
Because of the different techniques, the purity of the immortal energy obtained through cultivation is also different, and the power of the laws condensed is naturally uneven.
This is also the reason why many immortals are willing to risk their entire fortunes and spend huge sums of money to purchase better cultivation techniques. Many people will even give up their skills and start over after obtaining new techniques.
Xu Chunniang took out two hundred fairy crystals and gently flicked them to the designated position in the formation.
After increasing the input of fairy crystals, the surrounding fairy energy became more and more dense, and the speed of cultivation increased to three times as fast as before. Even this was already the limit of the middle-grade fairy platform.
This is too slow.
Xu Chunniang secretly felt lucky that she had chosen the middle-grade Ascension Platform instead of the lower-grade one at the beginning. Otherwise, judging from her current cultivation speed, it would be unknown whether the lower-grade Ascension Platform would be effective for her.
Fortunately, she only rented it for one month. After one month, she can rent a high-quality Ascension Platform again.
Xu Chunniang put aside all distracting thoughts and practiced without distraction. The formation continuously transformed the fairy crystals into fairy energy and sent it to her side.
The daily consumption was three hundred immortal crystals. After a month, Xu Chunniang had nine thousand less immortal crystals.
The Dao Fruit in her body finally grew by one tenth after absorbing a huge amount of immortal energy.
The light red mark on the top of the Dao Fruit also showed a tendency to darken, and it looked a little redder than before.
Xu Chunniang walked out of the middle-grade ascension platform, and the guard who had led the way for her earlier was already waiting outside.
Seeing her coming out, the guard smiled and asked, "Are you used to this mid-grade immortal platform?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head. "The speed at which the middle-grade Ascension Platform converts immortal crystals is still a little slow. I plan to try the upper-grade Ascension Platform."
The guard looked at her in surprise, and swallowed what he wanted to say. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there right away."
The guard led the way and took Xu Chunniang to a high-grade ascension platform. From the outside, there was no obvious difference between it and the previous mid-grade ascension platform.
"This is the top-grade Immortal Ascension Platform. One day of cultivation here is equivalent to one hundred to three hundred days of hard training in the outside world. Of course, cultivating here will consume more Immortal Crystals every day."
"Okay, I'll take this place. This is one month's rent."
The guard took the fairy crystal and hesitated to speak.
"Fairy, the training speed of the upper-grade immortal platform is undoubtedly very fast, but your body must be able to bear it. You have only been in the middle-grade immortal platform for a month. Can you adapt to such high-intensity training?"
Xu Chunniang smiled calmly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Hearing this, the guard had no choice but to hand Xu Chunniang a talisman and give her some instructions.
"If you encounter any problems during your cultivation, please inform me immediately. In the past, many immortals chose the best immortal platform in order to achieve quick results, but ended up going wrong and developing hidden diseases."
"I see. Thanks for the reminder."
Xu Chunniang thanked the guard earnestly, took the talisman, opened the door to the upper-grade ascension platform, and stepped inside.
As expected, the interior of the upper-grade Ascension Platform is also an independent small space, and it is much larger than the small space in the middle-grade Ascension Platform. It really is true that you get what you pay for.
Xu Chunniang took a look at the entire formation, took out a thousand fairy crystals and threw them to the designated location, then sat cross-legged at the center of the entire formation.
The speed at which the Top Grade Ascension Platform transformed immortal energy did not disappoint her. After only half an incense stick of time, the immortal energy around it increased at an extremely fast rate.
Feeling the rich immortal energy, Xu Chunniang couldn't wait to practice, guiding the immortal energy to flow towards the Dao fruit in her body...
