He first used a hoe to remove the weeds growing in front of the yard, then rolled up his sleeves, took out a rag, and began to wipe the door and windows of the Censorate.
The man wiped it while muttering to himself.
"Compared to previous years, this year's harvest is finally a little more, all thanks to the immortal master's rainmaking. Some people say that the immortal master is a liar who can't do what he promised, but I believe that the immortal master is not that kind of person. Although I don't know where the immortal master has gone, I believe that you will definitely come back."
Seeing that the door and windows were wiped clean and spotless, the man finally smiled.
He put away the dirty rag, picked up the hoe, and left with satisfaction.
At this time, a full year had passed since Xu Chunniang agreed to the people's request.
Throughout this year, she has been repeating one thing.
Use the Spirit Dew Technique to quench the fire and absorb the scorching hot breath.
After a year, the results are already evident, and the changes brought about by the hot breath are extremely astonishing.
This change is not only reflected in the level of body strengthening and removal of impurities from the body, but also penetrates deeply into the spiritual veins.
After being washed by the hot breath thousands of times, the spiritual vein was expanded and some impurities in the spiritual vein were also cleansed away.
After absorbing all the hot energy in her body once again, Xu Chunniang opened her eyes and saw a flash of light.
She could clearly feel the clarity and transparency coming from her spiritual veins, as well as the smoothness of the operation of her skills.
Although she did not use any professional spirit-detecting tools, Xu Chunniang vaguely realized that the reason she had such a feeling was probably because of the hot breath, which was tempering and purifying her spirit veins at the same time as tempering her body.
The purity of her spiritual veins increased, and correspondingly, the purity of the spiritual energy in her body increased.
I just don't know how much the purity of the spiritual roots has been refined in this year.
Xu Chunniang looked at the ground with a fiery gaze mixed with unspeakable shock.
What kind of good fortune did that meteorite from outer space bring to form the black soil valley we have today
Just by quenching it with the Spirit Dew Technique, one can obtain this mysterious and incomparable hot aura. I wonder how amazing the spirit object itself is.
However, since the spiritual creature has merged with the valley in front of us, this hot breath must be related to the spiritual creature.
Compared with the same year, the valley in front of us has shrunk by one-fifth, and the terrain of the valley has sunk accordingly.
The part exposed outside is a little lighter in color than before, giving it a harder feel.
This was indeed the case. Not long ago, Xu Chunniang tried to chop the ground with her flying sword. However, the ground that was easily corroded by the Spirit Dew Technique was not even left with a shallow scratch after her full-strength attack.
On the contrary, the flying sword's blade was slightly bent due to excessive force, which made her feel distressed and she dared not try again.
Xu Chunniang stood up and stopped tempering herself to absorb the hot breath. Instead, she returned to the cave and began to prepare for a breakthrough.
A year ago, her cultivation had reached the late eighth level of Qi training.
During this year, he continuously absorbed the hot aura, removing the dross and retaining the essence. Although his cultivation level did not improve, his purity and concentration had reached a higher level.
There is no bottleneck between the eighth and ninth levels of Qi training. Xu Chunniang feels as if she is on the threshold of the ninth level of Qi training and can take the final step at any time.
After returning to the cave, Xu Chunniang took out two thousand spirit stones and arranged them in the spirit gathering formation.
The spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin. In order to ensure that there is sufficient spiritual energy when breaking through, enough spiritual stones must be used to support it.
Xu Chunniang calculated that she would only need 1,600 spirit stones to break through to the ninth level of Qi training. The remaining 400 spirit stones could be used to consolidate her cultivation after the breakthrough.
To be on the safe side, she added another two thousand spirit stones.
Compared to a year ago, the meridians in her body have been expanded and purified a lot, and the spiritual energy required for a breakthrough in cultivation will probably also increase a lot.
Anyway, there will be some unused spirit stones left, so it is always better to put some more, in case there is not enough spiritual energy and the spiritual soil is damaged because the spiritual energy is completely absorbed.
After the spiritual energy in the spiritual soil is absorbed, it can slowly recover under the spirit gathering formation.
But if you use too much force and absorb all the spiritual energy in the spiritual soil, the spiritual soil will be completely destroyed.
It takes more time to create a piece of spiritual soil in the secular world than in a sect.
Xu Chunniang still has many years to live in the mortal world, and there will be many places where she will need spiritual soil. There is no need to use it all up now.
After placing the spirit stones, she sat cross-legged in the top-grade spirit gathering formation and began to practice the Xiaoyao Jue.
The skill circulated freely in the spiritual veins without any stagnation, and completed a full cycle smoothly.
Xu Chunniang closed her eyes and said nothing, silently speeding up the practice of her martial arts. The thick spiritual mist in her dantian increased more and more, almost turning into liquid and dripping.
As the top-grade spirit gathering array was put into operation, thousands of spirit stones shattered directly, and a large amount of spiritual energy was absorbed and flowed into her body.
Under the impact of this spiritual energy, her aura gradually rose, but it seemed that she was still a little short of the ninth level of Qi training.
She took a deep breath and activated the spirit gathering array once again, causing a thousand spirit stones to shatter and transform into majestic spiritual energy.
Just when all the spiritual energy was absorbed by Xu Chunniang, her cultivation finally reached the ninth level of Qi training.
The Dantian expanded by more than twice, and the spiritual mist that was so thick that it almost turned into spiritual liquid became thin again.
Xu Chunniang still did not stop meditating, but the speed at which she absorbed spiritual energy gradually slowed down.
These spiritual energies no longer simply flow into the dantian, but flow through the limbs and bones as the exercises are practiced, making the spiritual energy that had become somewhat restless after the breakthrough become more condensed.
A few days later, Xu Chunniang finally opened her eyes and stopped meditating.
At this point, his cultivation had already been completely consolidated at the ninth level of Qi training.
She smiled slightly. She had been practicing Taoism for more than seventeen years since she entered Xiaoyao Sect. This speed of practice was rare, not to mention in the outer sect, even in the inner sect.
Xu Chunniang stood up and walked towards Yang County.
During this year, every month, she would take the time to patrol Yang County to prevent the appearance of evil cultivators or dangerous creatures.
Now is the time for inspection again.
Yang County was still the same as before with people's livelihood in decline. After this round, there were no evil cultivators or dangerous creatures, but there were still many poor and destitute people.
She sighed inwardly, it seemed that the only way to solve the problem at its root was to seize the time and deal with the matter of the sky fire in the valley as soon as possible.
Xu Chunniang's face was slightly gloomy. After finishing her inspection, she walked towards the shrunken valley.
I don’t know if it was because of a breakthrough in my cultivation, or because I used the hot breath to temper my body, but when I absorbed the hot breath again, my efficiency was actually faster than before.
Anyway, it's a good thing.
If this strange valley is dealt with as soon as possible, it will not only be able to absorb a large amount of hot air and gain great benefits, but it will also be able to solve the problems that have plagued Yang County for hundreds of years.
In the boring tempering day after day, Xu Chunniang absorbed more and more hot breath.
Her body and spiritual veins were constantly being refined and purified at a slow but steady pace.
In the long run, that hot breath will definitely bring great surprises.
