Xu Chunniang thought about it, found a few questions that she was unsure about, and took this opportunity to ask them.
Yue Yanru answered them one by one, often in just a few words, he could get to the essence of the matter and make people suddenly enlightened.
The question-and-answer session came to an end only after Xu Chunniang racked her brains and could no longer think of any questions.
"It's your turn to come this time. First, I want to check your progress in cultivation. Second, I want to tell you something. The five major sects help each other, but there are also many fights in private."
Having said this, Yue Yanru paused slightly before continuing.
"Every thirty years, the five major sects would send out their newly promoted foundation-building disciples to compete. The competition involved not only the strength and reputation of each sect, but also tangible interests, especially the ownership of the spirit stone veins.
Sects that rank higher in the competition will have more say and choices, while those that rank lower will have a harder time…”
After listening to her master's words, Xu Chunniang understood the importance of this competition.
It can be said that this competition between the newly promoted foundation-building disciples of the five major sects is related to the development of the sects in the next thirty years.
"You mean, you want me to participate in this fight?"
"As a member of the Xiaoyao Sect, we should stand up when the sect needs us. If we can achieve good results, the sect will not lose any rewards. But if you don't want to, I won't force you."
"The disciple is willing to go."
Xu Chunniang made her position clear without much thought.
"Since I established my foundation, I have not had a formal fight with anyone. I just want to see the demeanor of the talented disciples from other sects."
This fight involves the interests of the sects. It is not difficult to imagine that each sect will send out its most powerful disciples.
Fighting head-on with these people can better test what you have learned.
Although he had already expected Xu Chunniang to agree to this, Yue Yanru was still very pleased after hearing it with his own ears.
"Since you are sure you want to participate, I will report your name to the sect. Once your life is officially guaranteed, you must participate except for force majeure."
Xu Chunniang nodded seriously, "I just don't know how long it will take before this competition officially begins? I hope my disciples can prepare early."
It would take at least three months to make her spiritual weapons.
If you don't have enough time, you can only go to Duobao Pavilion to find a few suitable items to use first.
"There are still three years until this competition officially begins. You don't have to be too stressed, just do your best."
Hearing this, Xu Chunniang breathed a sigh of relief.
If she still had three years, there would be a lot she could do.
After finishing learning the few books of magic that I just got, I can also finish reading the jade slips of formations in my hand.
"Since you have agreed to fight, I will not keep you any longer. If you encounter difficulties in your practice, you can come to Qianji Palace to find me."
Xu Chunniang nodded, bowed, left Qianji Hall, and returned to the cave.
She felt a sense of urgency in her heart. She only had three years before she would have to fight against the most powerful foundation-building disciples of the five major sects.
Although her master told her not to be too stressed, she didn't want to lose.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then walked into the training room alone and took out the jade slip with "Water Mist Barrier" written on it.
"Water mist barrier, use water spirit to create spirit mist, and at the same time attach your spiritual consciousness to the spirit mist. It creates a vast white fog, which can be used to prevent others from spying and condense a water mist barrier."
It is not difficult to understand that this water mist barrier is used as an auxiliary technique.
After Xu Chunniang finished reading this article on magic, she began to try it.
Spiritual energy turns into mist!
She controlled the water spirit to transform into water mist and succeeded on the first try.
It's just that the fog is too thin and will disperse with the wind.
Next, the spiritual energy turns into mist!
A large amount of water spirit energy continuously transformed into water mist, which was so thick that it almost turned into water.
Xu Chunniang put away her skills, used her spiritual energy to evaporate the moisture from her body, and started a new attempt again.
After several days of practice, she could finally easily create a suitable spiritual mist.
As she cast the spell, white mist began to emerge from her body and birds rose up, making her figure unclear.
After Xu Chunniang stopped casting the spell, the white mist remained condensed and did not dissipate for a long time.
"Finally succeeded. Next, I will try to attach my spiritual consciousness to the white mist."
She held her breath and concentrated her mind, gently dropping her consciousness onto the white mist.
Who would have thought that as soon as the spiritual consciousness came into contact with the white mist, it dissipated immediately.
This happened several times in a row.
Xu Chunniang frowned and stopped practicing, then took out the jade slip and checked it repeatedly.
"The method is correct, but what's the problem? Could it be that my spiritual consciousness has been tempered several times and its strength is too high, and the spiritual mist can't bear it?"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible.
Every time the spiritual consciousness falls on the white fog, it will dissipate. We have to think of a way.
Xu Chunniang seemed to be thinking about something. After releasing a white mist again, she did not rush to attach her spiritual consciousness to it. Instead, she let her spiritual consciousness disperse and turn into countless thin threads.
After the spiritual consciousness turned into thin threads, its intensity did not decrease, but the number within a certain range was reduced by 99%.
After her spiritual awareness was refined to the extreme, she carefully attached it to the white mist.
Success!
This time, the white mist withstood the spiritual consciousness in a filamentous state and did not dissipate again.
Xu Chunniang's heart moved, and she wanted to try out the power of the water mist barrier.
She hid her consciousness in the white mist and controlled the white mist to float outside along the stone door of the training room, enveloping Xiaobai and Xiaojuzi in the white mist.
"Squeak, squeak?"
Xiaobai fell into the water mist and lost his way.
With its seventh level of Qi training, it is simply unable to break through this layer of fog.
“Ouch, ouch!”
Just when Xiaobai was at a loss, Xiaojuzi growled twice and waved his front paws to easily tear open the water mist barrier.
After it tore through the fog, it saw Xiaobai's helpless look, a hint of mockery appeared in its eyes, and it leaned over and opened its mouth to grab it.
It’s strange to say, Xiaobai was originally quite afraid of Xiaojuzi, but now facing this cold white fog, it feels quite safe staying in Xiaojuzi’s mouth.
Xu Chunniang's spiritual consciousness turned into a thread, attached to the white mist. Wherever the mist went, her spiritual consciousness was there, so she did not miss the scene between Xiaobai and Xiaojuzi.
The two of them get along pretty well.
However, this water mist barrier claims to be as powerful as a second-order maze-type formation, but it was easily torn apart by Little Orange, which seems to be a bit unworthy of its reputation.
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment, then controlled the remaining white mist and gathered around Xiaojuzi.
Coming again
Looking at the strange white fog that had returned, Little Orange let out a disdainful breath and simply used his claws to disperse all the white fog.
