Suddenly, a ray of pure soul power emerged from the Soul-Nourishing Tree and entered her body, then sank into her soul.
At the same time, the surrounding spiritual power is directly absorbed into the primordial spirit as the soul refining technique is practiced.
Soul power and spiritual power are intertwined in the primordial spirit, constantly nourishing and strengthening the primordial spirit and spiritual consciousness.
As time passed, the soul power in the soul-nourishing wood continued to decrease, and the color of the wooden bracelet also changed from dark to lighter.
In fact, due to the excessive loss of soul power, several cracks appeared on it.
It was not until one day more than two months later, when the soul power in the soul-nourishing tree was completely depleted and turned into powder and dissipated in the world, that Xu Chunniang stopped with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.
She opened her eyes and felt her mind was clear.
This is the feeling that only occurs when the soul becomes powerful enough.
Xu Chunniang released her spiritual consciousness, instantly covering the entire Dragon Transformation Pond.
But when she continued to release it, her consciousness seemed to be firmly blocked by an invisible barrier and bounced back.
What blocks the spiritual sense from spying is the forbidden formation.
Xu Chunniang looked normal. This time, she only extended a part of her spiritual awareness, which was able to easily cover the entire Dragon Transformation Pond.
This spiritual consciousness alone is no weaker than that of a cultivator at the second level of foundation building.
If she uses all her spiritual sense, the coverage area will be sixteen times that of before.
This is the power of the art of refining the soul.
You should know that the range of a foundation-building cultivator's spiritual awareness is only two meters square, and every time he breaks through a level, his spiritual awareness only increases by about one tenth.
If a cultivator does not practice spiritual cultivation until his foundation is complete, his spiritual consciousness will only double.
However, this soul refining technique splits the original soul, and each part has excellent growth potential, far exceeding that of the cultivators of the same level.
Xu Chunniang let out a sigh of relief. Just a small piece of soul-nourishing wood was able to nourish the spiritual consciousness to such a level. It was worthy of being a fourth-level spiritual object.
The art of refining the spirit has been practiced to this point, and it is almost complete.
Unless one can find a spiritual object like the Soul-Nourishing Wood and refine and absorb it, the spiritual consciousness can only grow slowly as the level of cultivation increases.
Xu Chunniang withdrew her spiritual consciousness, used her true energy to drive the operation of Xiaoyao Jue, and continued to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
Soul-nourishing spiritual objects are hard to come by, and it is already extremely lucky to be able to obtain a soul-nourishing wood. You should just practice with your feet on the ground.
During the remaining time, Xu Chunniang practiced day and night, and finally when the three-month period was about to expire, she improved her cultivation to the middle stage of the second level of foundation building.
She opened her eyes, took a deep breath of spiritual energy, and couldn't help muttering to herself.
"This Hualong Pond is truly a treasure land. Even if I lie here for a few years without resting, my cultivation will automatically increase. I wonder why there is so much spiritual energy here."
Xu Chunniang extended her spiritual sense and carefully explored the surroundings, trying to find out the reason why the Hualong Pond was so full of spiritual energy.
However, there were restrictions everywhere around the Dragon Pond, and her consciousness was rudely bounced back.
Even the bottom of the pool is covered with various restrictions to prevent any form of prying eyes.
Xu Chunniang was not surprised at all.
It would be strange if there were no restrictions protecting such an important area of the sect.
Seeing that the jade talisman on her chest was flickering again and that its spiritual energy was about to be exhausted, Xu Chunniang walked out of the Hualong Pond without much hesitation.
Leaving the Hualong Pond, not far away is the slightly dilapidated Seven Star Tower.
After so many years, although the restrictions on the Seven Star Tower are still preserved, its spiritual light has become much dimmer.
Xu Chunniang's heart moved slightly. This Seven Star Tower was the trial site of Nameless Peak. Although the rewards inside had long been taken away, it was not a bad idea to use the trials inside to test what she had learned.
It just so happened that after she established her foundation, she hadn't had the chance to take action yet, so she didn't know how strong she was.
According to the instructions on the stone tablet next to the Seven Star Tower, the difficulty of the trials within it will be adjusted according to the cultivation level of those who enter the tower.
In addition, the Seven Star Tower cannot be entered casually. Qi training disciples who want to enter must pay 100 spirit stones.
As for the disciples who are at the foundation-building stage, they must pay one thousand spirit stones before they can start the trial.
Xu Chunniang understood that so many spirit stones were needed just to start the trial, and there was no reward for passing the trial.
No wonder after the decline of Nameless Peak, few people visit the Seven Star Tower.
She took out a thousand spirit stones and placed them on the stone platform. With a flash of inspiration, the spirit stones disappeared, and were replaced by a small token.
With this order, you can enter the Seven Star Tower. When in danger, just crush the order and you will be teleported out.
Xu Chunniang took the token and kept it close to her body, then walked towards the Seven Star Tower and stepped into the first floor.
The Seven Star Tower does not look big from the outside, but once you step inside you will find that it is very spacious and is an independent space.
After she entered, a bronze man at the second level of foundation building emerged from the formation and walked towards where she was.
Xu Chunniang thought thoughtfully. It seemed that the first level of the trial was to defeat the bronze man in order to pass.
While she was looking at the bronze man, he had already launched the attack.
It paused, burst out at astonishing speed, and rushed towards Xu Chunniang.
Due to the extremely fast speed, even afterimages appeared.
“So fast!”
Xu Chunniang's face changed slightly and she quickly dodged the attack.
The bronze man's moves were faster than the last, and each one was aimed precisely at the fatal spot, making it impossible to defend against.
Seeing that she couldn't dodge, she took out her small round shield without hesitation and used it to block in front of her.
“Bang!”
The bronze man punched hard on the small round shield, and the huge metal collision sound was deafening.
Under this punch, the small round shield was dented a little.
The bronze man punched again, with such absolute force that even the small round shield could not withstand it, and it became dented again.
While Xu Chunniang put away the small round shield, she clenched the white spear in her right hand and stabbed the bronze man fiercely.
However, the bronze man was extremely hard and seamlessly integrated without any flaws. Even with the full force of the white spear, it was unable to do anything to it.
She put away her spear, flew into the air with her sword, and cast a series of fireballs at the bronze man.
Fire overcomes metal, so perhaps this bronze man is afraid of fire.
Several fireballs fell on the bronze man, but failed to stop him at all.
Obviously this temperature is not enough to melt it.
Xu Chunniang gave up the fire attack and cast five water binding spells in succession towards the bronze man, trying to trap it.
But the bronze man was indestructible and easily punctured the water ball.
Afterwards, she tried many other spells, such as lightning spell, ice blade, etc., but none of them could do anything to the bronze man.
Even spiritual attacks are ineffective against this bronze man.
Although the bronze man in front of him also has the cultivation level of the second level of Foundation Establishment, it has strength, speed and defense, and is extremely difficult to deal with.
Weiyi’s weakness is that he cannot wield a sword.
Xu Chunniang stood on the flying sword, confronting the bronze man on the ground, and the two were stuck in a stalemate.
She frowned slightly, as what she saw before her was only the first floor of the Seven Star Tower.
The first level is so difficult, the subsequent trials will probably be even more difficult.
No matter what, we must first find a way to defeat this bronze man, otherwise these thousand spirit stones would be wasted.
Since this bronze man is immune to magical and spiritual attacks, it is better to use physical cultivation techniques to deal with it.
