Xu Chunniang was very sure that twenty-one days ago, she had moved the large gray pillar into the walnut world.
But now, such a big pillar disappeared out of thin air for no apparent reason.
She looked towards the place where the large gray pillar had been placed previously. The ground there had sunk slightly, proving that the large pillar had once existed.
The entire walnut world seemed to be a little bigger than before, and the gray haze that shrouded the sky had also dissipated a lot.
An astonishing guess arose in Xu Chunniang's heart. Could it be that the big gray pillar was absorbed by this walnut world
She released her spiritual consciousness and explored the surroundings.
The spiritual power in the walnut world is as poor as ever and has not changed much.
She moved her consciousness downward, probing into the ground, and a familiar heat wave came over her.
Xu Chunniang suddenly felt like she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had been flipping through ancient books in the Sutra Library for a long time, but couldn't find a way to deal with the big grey pillar.
As a result, the Walnut World absorbed it silently!
Xu Chunniang left the walnut world and entered a state of meditation. In her soul, she saw the true form of the walnut world, an ordinary little walnut.
She continued to ask, "You ate it all and left nothing for me?"
The little walnut was motionless, looking like a dead object.
However, Xu Chunniang was not deceived by its appearance, but instead looked thoughtful.
Since this walnut is an "immortal seed" and can actively absorb heavenly fire, it may actually have some kind of consciousness.
She asked tentatively, "Even if you ate the Heavenly Fire, you wouldn't absorb it so quickly, right? I felt the scorching breath of the Heavenly Fire earlier."
The little walnut still didn't move, as if it had already consumed all the heavenly fire.
Xu Chunniang hesitated for a moment, then her spiritual consciousness wrapped around the small walnut, trying to see if she could force out some of the heavenly fire.
Since soft tactics don’t work, we have to resort to hard tactics.
Her spiritual consciousness continued to flow towards the small walnut, entering it unimpeded, looking for traces of the heavenly fire.
Just when she noticed something strange, the little walnut shook slightly, and then a wisp of heavenly fire was peeled off from it, lingering on the walnut.
As soon as the heavenly fire appeared, its scorching temperature could not be ignored.
Xu Chunniang's consciousness continued to melt under the burning of the heavenly fire.
"ah!"
She cried out in pain, sweat pouring down her body. The pain that penetrated deep into her soul almost made her feel as if time had stopped.
Enduring the severe pain, she practiced the Soul Refining Technique with difficulty, absorbing and recasting the shattered consciousness bit by bit.
Until she could no longer hold on, she withdrew all her remaining consciousness, and the severe pain of her soul being burned slowly eased a little.
The heavenly fire kept moving over the small walnut, as if mocking Xu Chunniang's unbearable behavior.
Then, with a "whoosh", it sank back into the walnut and disappeared without a trace.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes and quietly felt the changes in her consciousness.
Although a lot of the spiritual consciousness had been dissolved, the remaining spiritual consciousness after being burned by the heavenly fire was nearly twice as condensed.
Although the pain of using heavenly fire to forge spiritual consciousness is extremely unbearable, the effect is absolutely amazing!
Xu Chunniang's eyes lit up.
The walnut world is bound to her soul. It absorbs the heavenly fire, which makes it convenient for her to use the heavenly fire to condense her spiritual consciousness.
Thinking about it carefully, this little walnut absorbed the heavenly fire by accident, which actually solved a difficult problem for her.
After all, she was originally almost helpless with the big gray pillar.
A look of determination appeared on Xu Chunniang's face, and her spiritual consciousness once again entangled with the little walnut in her soul.
"It's still the same as before, one ray of heavenly fire, no more."
As if he didn't expect she would dare to come, the little walnut shook slightly, and then a ray of heavenly fire appeared again.
She took a deep breath, and her consciousness rushed towards the heavenly fire like a moth to a flame.
The heavenly fire was only a faint wisp, and after being absorbed by the Walnut World, its power was greatly reduced.
But even so, the burning pain coming from her spiritual consciousness made Xu Chunniang's face look a little hideous.
“Hiss… It hurts!”
She kept crying out in pain, but her consciousness showed no sign of retreating. She continued to pounce towards the heavenly fire, while rapidly practicing the Soul Refining Technique to constantly reshape her consciousness that was being burned.
Now that you have decided to do it, you must try your best!
Under the continuous impact of spiritual consciousness, finally, this faint wisp of heavenly fire became dimmer and smaller.
Finally, it was completely extinguished and disappeared.
It took a full hour for Xu Chunniang to come to her senses. She was sweating as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
She fell on the ground in an ungraceful manner, with a look of relief in her eyes.
Fortunately, she exerted all her energy and threw all her consciousness towards the heavenly fire with a desperate attitude, so she was able to condense her consciousness in the shortest time possible.
The benefit of doing this is not only improving efficiency, but also minimizing the pain time.
If you burn your spiritual consciousness bit by bit because you are afraid of pain, it will only prolong the process of condensing your spiritual consciousness infinitely.
After lying there for an unknown amount of time, Xu Chunniang felt that she had regained some strength and tried to release all her consciousness.
Originally, her spiritual sense could cover an area of three meters square, but now, the area covered by her spiritual sense is half less than before.
Correspondingly, the condensed strength of spiritual consciousness doubled in a short period of time.
Xu Chunniang could not hide her excitement, this art of refining spirits was truly a divine art!
Although the process of calcining and refining spiritual consciousness is extremely painful, the effect is indeed very powerful.
Just the burning of a wisp of Heavenly Fire can produce such an effect. If she were to use Heavenly Fire to burn every day, the strength of her spiritual consciousness would definitely rise to an unimaginable height.
However, when she thought of the pain that struck her soul when she was concentrating her spiritual consciousness, her eyelids trembled slightly.
After what happened today, she didn't even want to practice sword-controlling skills tomorrow, let alone continue to condense her spiritual consciousness.
Let’s relax for a few days before continuing. Now Xu Chunniang just wants to lie down and have a good sleep.
After all, condensing spiritual consciousness is not only extremely painful, it also consumes a lot of energy on the body and spiritual consciousness.
Xu Chunniang slept for several days.
When she woke up again, it was three days later.
After getting enough sleep, she felt full of energy and her mind was clearer.
"I actually slept for so long. It seems that this soul-refining technique really consumes a lot of energy. So, it seems that there is no need to be too diligent in practicing this technique. If your body can't handle it, it will be harmful to your health in the long run."
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.
The art of refining the spirit is indeed mysterious, but one cannot become fat in one bite, and everything has to be done step by step.
She stood up and left the room, heading towards the training ground, ready to continue practicing swordsmanship.
When she arrived at the place she usually visited, Xu Chunniang was about to take out her flying sword, but she felt a strong gaze falling on her.
She looked in the direction of the gaze and was met with a cold gaze.
