Apart from the monthly inspections, Xu Chunniang devoted all her time to tempering her body.
The originally huge valley in front of him was reduced by one fifth and was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the third year of Xu Chunniang's tempering, the Black Soil Valley was only half its original size.
As the soil becomes more compact and hard, its color becomes lighter, showing a color between gray and black.
The terrain of the valley sank a lot again.
In the past few years, Xu Chunniang has never stopped tempering her body, and her physical strength is now at a higher level than before.
The purity of the spiritual roots was also purified again.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes and looked down at the valley.
Although the Black Soil Valley has shrunk by half, it is still quite large.
It seems that it will take a long time to completely solve the valley problem.
She closed her eyes and devoted herself once again to the practice of tempering and refining her body.
In a blink of an eye, more than five years have passed. This is the ninth year that Xu Chunniang has come to Yang County.
She stood up and looked around, and was satisfied to find that the area of the Black Soil Valley had further shrunk, to only one twentieth of its original size, less than the size of a house.
The soil around the Black Soil Valley has returned to its normal color.
However, it is not appropriate to call it the Black Soil Valley now. Around the eighth year, the color of the black soil gradually turned into gray soil. It is more appropriate to call it the Gray Soil Valley now.
Xu Chunniang sighed softly. After the black soil turned into gray soil, she clearly felt that the hot breath obtained from quenching was becoming less and less.
After the valley in front of him turned completely gray, the Spirit Dew Technique became completely ineffective. When it was sprinkled on the valley, no longer any hot aura emanated from it.
Even if I used the Spirit Rain Technique, I still couldn't do anything with the grey soil.
She guessed that the transformation of black soil into gray soil was equivalent to a certain metamorphosis. If she wanted to continue tempering it to obtain that scorching breath, it might not be possible with her current level of cultivation.
Fortunately, during these eight years, Xu Chunniang has been constantly tempering her body and has gained tremendous benefits. Not only has her physical strength reached an extremely astonishing level, but the purity of her spiritual roots has also been greatly improved.
Originally, her aptitude was very average, with three spiritual roots: water, wood, and earth.
Among them, the water spiritual root has the highest purity of sixty-five, followed by the wood spiritual root, which is only forty-five, and the earth spiritual root is the worst, which is only thirty-five.
But now, even though there has been no testing with professional spirit-testing tools, Xu Chunniang believes that the improvement in the purity of the spirit roots is definitely more than just a little bit.
After all, the higher the purity of the spiritual roots, the faster the speed of absorbing spiritual power.
While practicing, she could feel the changes.
As for her cultivation, Xu Chunniang has been busy tempering her body over the years and has not deliberately improved herself.
However, every time she absorbed the hot breath, she needed to guide it with spiritual energy. In fact, when she absorbed the hot breath, it was equivalent to practicing.
After many years, he unexpectedly reached the late stage of the ninth level of Qi training, not far from the great perfection of Qi training.
Xu Chunniang guessed that it was most likely because the purity of her spiritual roots had increased, so her cultivation speed had increased.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, after so many years of hard training, one could at most reach the middle stage of the ninth level of Qi training.
Since the Spirit Dew Technique has lost its effect and cannot quench the fire, there is no point in staying here.
Xu Chunniang looked at the gray soil in front of her, thoughtfully.
She originally thought that as long as she continued to quench the fire, she would be able to find the heavenly fire and solve the drought in Yang County, but now it seems that she thought the problem was too simple.
However, the ash and soil in front of me is not large, and I wonder if I can dig it out.
Xu Chunniang took out the flying sword and slashed towards the side of the ash, quickly hollowing out a circle around the ash.
After only digging about ten feet, the soil still looked deeply rooted.
Xu Chunniang gritted her teeth and continued to drive the flying sword to dig deeper.
After digging about three meters deep, we finally found the place where the ash and soil met.
She breathed a sigh of relief. If the dust was larger, she could take it out and take it away, but she didn't have enough storage space to hold it.
The gray soil in front of me was three meters high and about ten meters long. It didn't look like a valley, but rather like a big gray pillar.
Xu Chunniang tried to put it into her storage ring, but it only shook the pillar a little, causing it to change color slightly.
It seems that it is too heavy and the mental force cannot bring it in.
She walked forward, concentrated her energy into her dantian, and hugged the big pillar with both hands. At the same time, her mental power quickly circulated to communicate with the storage ring.
The large grey pillar trembled, but the chassis was stable and was not sucked in.
Xu Chunniang was so tired that she was sweating profusely, but she couldn't even make it move a little.
She stopped and gasped.
She was originally very strong, and after so many years of training her body with the hot breath, her strength became even greater.
But even with all his strength, he could only make the pillar tremble.
Xu Chunniang gritted her teeth and decided that she must take this big pillar away today.
Not to mention the heavenly fire that might be hidden in it, just the mysterious and hot aura that was enough to purify the spirit veins was enough for her to give up!
Xu Chunniang took out several stacks of talismans from her storage bag. They were all mid-grade golden armor talismans, giant strength talismans, blood-raising talismans and other talismans that could increase strength and blood.
These talismans were all refined by her in order to break through the shackles of mid-grade talismans when she was in the sect a few years ago.
Since it was refined, it has been kept at the bottom of the box. I didn't expect it to come in handy now.
Without caring about saving money, Xu Chunniang stuck hundreds of talismans on her body and activated them all at once.
Suddenly, layers of golden light emerged from her body, her blood and energy surged, and her strength increased dozens of times.
The pain in her limbs and meridians made Xu Chunniang's face turn pale. Even though her body was strong, she could not withstand the power of so many talismans.
She had to be quick, otherwise it wouldn't be long before the power of these talismans would cause her blood to explode!
She held the pillar with both hands without hesitation, gritted her teeth and supported it with all her strength.
Then, with the help of hundreds of talismans, she finally managed to shake the large gray pillar, lifted it a little, and successfully put it into the storage bag.
Xu Chunniang's mind relaxed, and she fell directly into the deep pit in front of her.
She remained calm, and lightly shook her whole body of spiritual power, shaking off all the talismans, leaving only two or three golden armor talismans to protect her, and then let her body fall downwards.
"Bang!"
Xu Chunniang fell to the bottom of the pit. She was protected by the golden armor technique and the height of three meters did not hurt her, but she was inevitably covered in dust.
She was so tired that she turned over and simply lay at the bottom of the pit without moving.
After resting for a while, Xu Chunniang opened her eyes and saw the small sky above.
The sky is clear and blue, as if it has the power to cleanse the soul.
She looked so dazed for a moment that she even forgot the pain in her body.
It was not until a white cloud floated by, covering up this small patch of sky, that she smiled slightly and said to herself, "Is this the perspective of a frog in a well?"
Although we are in a cramped and narrow mud bottom, we still have the right to look up to beauty and the lofty ambition to yearn for the sky.
After lying down until the pain in her body gradually subsided, Xu Chunniang slowly stood up. Without using the dust-cleansing technique, she brushed off the dirt on her body and then climbed out from the bottom of the pit.
After stepping out of the pit, the whole sky and earth opened up before her, and she felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
