Xu Chunniang sighed in her heart that this Hualong Pond was indeed a holy place for cultivation. If she could practice here every day, her cultivation would definitely advance by leaps and bounds.
But this is just wishful thinking.
This place is an important place of the sect. It requires 200,000 contribution points to use it for just three months. Ordinary people really can't afford it.
She put aside all distracting thoughts and sent out her spiritual sense to sense its strength.
After the third time of refining the soul with heavenly fire, the range of the spiritual consciousness was reduced while its strength was raised to another level.
Xu Chunniang did not hesitate much and prepared to refine her spirit again.
Every time one cultivates the spirit in the outside world, one would have to sleep for several days, and then have to recuperate for a period of time. The efficiency is extremely low.
The unique cultivation conditions of Hualongchi infinitely shorten the time for recuperation and make daily spiritual cultivation possible.
She retracted her consciousness into her soul and entangled with the little walnut again.
Little Walnut seemed surprised that she could recover so quickly. After a while, it separated three strands of heavenly fire.
Once the heavenly fire was released, the spiritual consciousness rushed over and enveloped it tightly.
Before long, the three strands of heavenly fire were completely consumed.
The small walnut trembled slightly, and separated out three new strands of heavenly fire again.
After that, Xu Chunniang stopped practicing and used heavenly fire to refine her spirit every day.
The amount of heavenly fire increased from three strands at the beginning, to a small ball, and finally to a large ball.
It was not until a month later that the jade talisman hanging around Xu Chunniang's neck kept flickering and turned into powder. She suddenly realized that three months had passed since she entered the Dragon Pond.
The sect leader once said that after the jade talisman becomes ineffective, one must leave the Dragon Pond as soon as possible, otherwise one will be killed by the restrictions within it.
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, hesitating whether to leave now.
After a month of refining her soul with the Heavenly Fire, the strength of her spiritual consciousness had reached a level that she had previously unimagined.
Corresponding to this is the ever-shrinking range of spiritual awareness.
Now she released all her spiritual consciousness, and only a palm-sized piece remained.
Seeing that she would be able to practice the first level of the soul-refining technique to perfection in just a little while, she gritted her teeth, took out another jade talisman, and activated it.
The moment the jade talisman was activated, the restrictions that were ready to move around suddenly calmed down, and it was so quiet that it seemed as if nothing had happened.
After Xu Chunniang had rested enough, she once again concentrated her consciousness into her soul and headed towards the little walnut.
Little Walnut cooperated very well and released a large amount of heavenly fire, which almost filled her entire soul, enveloped all her consciousness, and continued to burn it.
At the beginning of her soul refining, just a wisp of heavenly fire caused her unbearable pain.
But after dozens of times of refining her spirit, Xu Chunniang not only did not feel any pain, she even had a warm and comfortable feeling.
She touched the small walnut with her spiritual sense, "Give me more."
The small walnut shook slightly, continuously separating out the heavenly fire to replenish the consumption.
This process of refining the spirit lasted for several days. No matter how hard she tried to condense it, the strength of her spirit consciousness could no longer be increased. Only then did Xu Chunniang stop with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.
At this moment, the intensity of her spiritual consciousness reached a new high, as if it were real, extremely solid and powerful.
The range of his spiritual awareness shrank again, becoming only a ball the size of a spirit stone.
Xu Chunniang released her spiritual consciousness, which inadvertently touched the pool water, causing ripples.
She tried to control her spiritual consciousness, turning it into a thin line and slashing it towards the ground outside the pool.
Suddenly, a very deep and thin crack appeared on the ground.
She thought for a moment, then took out the white spear and threw it with all her strength. After the tip of the spear sunk into the ground a little, the gun body continued to vibrate.
There was a gleam of surprise in Xu Chunniang's eyes. This spiritual sense was sharp, even better than a first-grade spiritual weapon, and probably not inferior to a second-grade spiritual weapon.
Although only a little spiritual consciousness remains, this is exactly the result pursued by the Spirit Refining Technique.
The spiritual consciousness is constantly condensed and compressed to the extreme, and only then is the first level completed.
As for the second level of the Soul Refining Technique, it is about splitting.
Xu Chunniang did not hesitate much and directly began to practice the second level of the Soul Refining Technique.
As the technique was practiced, a sense of tearing arose from within the soul, as if the spirit was about to be torn directly in half.
Big beads of sweat rolled down her forehead and were then evaporated by the heat.
Although it was painful to have her soul torn apart, she had experienced pain ten times more severe than this when she was refining her soul before, so she didn't feel that much pain.
"Katcha."
An extremely subtle sound was heard, and the spiritual consciousness was split into two under the guidance of the technique.
However, this is just the beginning.
Afterwards, the spiritual consciousness split into four parts again, and then eight parts.
As the spiritual consciousness was split more and more, the feeling of soul being torn apart became stronger and stronger.
After being split into eight parts, it has almost reached its limit.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and frantically practiced the soul-splitting method, trying to split her consciousness again.
Every time the soul is split using the Soul-Splitting Technique, the upper limit of the spiritual awareness is doubled.
The more spiritual consciousness there are, the greater the benefits and the higher the growth potential.
The eight parts of spiritual consciousness shook slightly, and finally at a certain moment, they split into sixteen parts.
After the soul is separated into sixteen parts, no matter how the exercises are performed, it cannot be split any further.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes and released sixteen portions of her spiritual consciousness at once.
Her spiritual awareness was originally small, and it became even smaller after being divided into sixteen parts, each part not much bigger than a soybean.
Only by stretching it into thin threads can it be continuous.
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, very satisfied with the result.
After the second level of the Soul Refining Technique of splitting the soul, the third level of the Soul Refining Technique of nourishing the soul comes.
Through the method of nourishing the spirit, one can not only strengthen the spiritual consciousness and increase its coverage, but also nourish these sixteen spiritual consciousnesses at the same time.
Each of these sixteen spiritual consciousnesses can grow independently.
In time, Xu Chunniang's spiritual awareness will grow to sixteen times that of other cultivators of the same period.
The newly born spiritual consciousness will retain its existing strength.
Ordinary spiritual power techniques can at most increase spiritual power by two or three times.
The upper limit of the Soul Refining Technique far exceeds that of ordinary spiritual exercises, and is truly extraordinary.
Xu Chunniang felt even more grateful to Yue Yanru, who gave her the Soul Refining Technique.
The Soul Refining Technique that Master obtained was an incomplete version, consisting of only the first three levels.
The first three levels alone are so extraordinary, it is hard to imagine how amazing the following levels will be.
And what realm would the cultivator who created this method of refining the spirit be at
This thought flashed through Xu Chunniang's mind, and she couldn't help but sigh.
It is because of the countless talented practitioners throughout history who have come one after another that so many techniques and classics have been left behind.
As a latecomer, she is just walking on the road paved by her predecessors.
Xu Chunniang calmed her mind, rested for a few hours, and then took out a simple-shaped wooden bracelet.
This wooden bracelet was obtained from a small piece of soul-nourishing wood in the yellow sand desert of Xiaoze.
The third level of the art of refining the spirit is the method of nourishing the spirit.
This soul-nourishing tree is naturally a spirit-nourishing plant, and it is perfect for strengthening the essence and nourishing the spirit.
Xu Chunniang held the soul-nourishing wood in her hand, held her breath and concentrated, practicing the third level of the soul-refining technique.
