This process lasted for two full hours, and Xu Chunniang drank up the entire bottle of spiritual dew.
She could clearly feel that the spiritual energy accumulated in her dantian was becoming increasingly abundant, almost about to break through some kind of barrier.
"Now!"
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, took the second bottle of spiritual dew, tilted her head back and drank most of it. After feeling that every part of her body was filled with spiritual energy, she closed her eyes, put aside all distracting thoughts, and focused on practicing the Xiaoyao Jue.
I don't know how long it took, but when Xu Chunniang absorbed all the spiritual power in her body, she heard a very slight vibration, as if something was breaking out of the ground.
The next second, a pure and powerful spiritual power gushed out from her dantian. As the technique was circulated, it flowed to all parts of her body, nourishing her meridians...
Xu Chunniang slowly opened her eyes, and after feeling her own spiritual energy, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes, "I've made a breakthrough, I've reached the third level of Qi training!"
Comparing the difference in spiritual power now and before, Xu Chunniang could feel that the spiritual energy in her body at this moment was almost twice as much as before!
When you reach the peak of the third level of Qi training in the future, your spiritual energy can be doubled from the current level!
"No wonder there are strict hierarchies among cultivators. Not many have the ability to fight across levels. The difference in spiritual energy between every two levels of Qi training is almost several times. The more spiritual energy you have, the more powerful the spells you can perform."
Feeling the unprecedented fullness of spiritual energy in her body, Xu Chunniang took a deep breath. This feeling of becoming stronger little by little was so addictive.
She took a moment to calm herself down, then drank the spiritual dew and began to consolidate her cultivation.
After the breakthrough, Xu Chunniang's demand for spiritual energy during cultivation increased. The spiritual energy contained in the spiritual dew was sufficient and still helpful to her, but the consumption of the spiritual dew was twice as much as before.
Originally, one and a half bottles of spiritual dew could support Xu Chunniang's practice for two days, but now she had absorbed the entire bottle of spiritual dew in just one day.
After drinking the spiritual dew, Xu Chunniang took out two bottles of "stock" from the storage bag. These were the spiritual dews she condensed a week ago. A quarter of their spiritual power had dissipated, leaving only about three quarters of the previous amount.
Xu Chunniang did not dislike it and started taking the two bottles of spiritual dew.
Not until all the spiritual dew was used up did her cultivation finally stabilize.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Among this batch of new disciples, she should be the first one to reach the third level of Qi training.
The cultivation level is sufficient for now, and every breakthrough requires time for the body to adapt to the cultivation level, which can make the foundation more solid.
Simply piling up various realms is nothing but castles in the air that cannot withstand the wind and rain.
According to the plan, the next step is to learn magic.
Xu Chunniang touched her storage bag and a jade slip appeared in her hand, which was the "Lingxu Step".
Rather than the earth-moistening technique which could only be used as an auxiliary, she planned to learn the Lingxu step first.
If she learns Lingxu Step well, she can use her footwork to escape even if she is defeated in a fight.
The cave was full of spiritual energy, but it was too small to be suitable for practicing footwork. Xu Chunniang left the cave and went to the forest where she had practiced the art of spring life.
"Transport the spiritual energy to your legs. Once the spiritual energy is full, you can start the footwork and perform the Lingxu Step. With one step, you can reach several feet away... This Lingxu Step doesn't look difficult. Let's give it a try first."
After Xu Chunniang memorized the techniques thoroughly, she put away the jade slip and began to practice.
As the Lingxu Step technique was in operation, the spiritual energy in the Dantian began to flow continuously to the legs. Soon, a sore and swollen feeling came from the legs.
Xu Chunniang felt the spiritual energy in her legs and said, "No, the spiritual energy is not enough!"
As more and more spiritual energy poured in, the soreness and swelling in the legs gradually faded away, and was replaced by an unbearable itchy and numb feeling. Xu Chunniang couldn't help but snorted and stopped the Lingyin Step.
This feeling of soreness and numbness is almost more unbearable than pain, and you can only wait for your body to adapt little by little.
After I stopped, the discomfort went away.
Only then did Xu Chunniang understand why the number of people who chose footwork was far less than those who chose bodywork. It turned out that footwork was not only more difficult to practice, but it was also very uncomfortable to practice.
Xu Chunniang did not choose the steady and cautious way of cultivation. When it comes to magic, she has always been bold and radical.
After a brief pause, she gritted her teeth and directly input several times more spiritual power into her legs.
Suddenly, Xu Chunniang's body began to tremble violently. The intense numbness and pain almost made her unable to stand. She held on to the tree beside her and barely managed to avoid falling down.
Xu Chunniang's lips trembled, and she spoke word by word through gritted teeth, "It's just this level, I can tolerate it."
After enduring the initial discomfort, my legs gradually adapted to the spiritual energy.
Xu Chunniang could feel that the feeling of discomfort was slowly fading away, and all the meridians in her legs were filled with spiritual energy.
The most obvious change is that the legs become light yet powerful, as if they can leap over mountains and rivers with just a slight leap!
She controlled her legs and took a step forward!
With this step, she was able to move two or three meters away. However, before she could be happy, she lost her balance and fell backwards.
Xu Chunniang fell backwards to the ground, grimacing in pain, "It seems that my body needs to slowly adapt before I can master this Lingxu Step. Let's do it again!"
She propped herself up, channeled spiritual energy into her legs, took another step forward, and as expected, fell down again.
Xu Chunniang stood up straight and gritted her teeth, "This is nothing, let's do it again!"
…
This practice lasted for a full four months.
At the beginning, whenever she took a step, she would lose balance and fall backwards. Later, when she could take a step of thirty or forty feet, her body finally flexibly kept up with her steps and she was able to adjust according to the changes in the environment.
I saw a green figure running at lightning speed in the forest. His steps seemed real and unreal, and his position changed unpredictably. He rushed towards the densely wooded area in the forest.
Wherever the figure passed, not a single leaf was touched, and it perfectly avoided all the trees.
After two incense sticks, Xu Chunniang stopped sweating. This was the limit of her Lingxu Step.
Because the spiritual energy in her body was exhausted, Xu Chunniang's face turned slightly pale, but her eyes were sparkling and shining.
I practiced for four full months, and I don't know how many times I fell and how many trees I knocked down, before I got to this point.
If Xu Chunniang uses her full strength to perform the Lingxu Step, the spiritual power in her body can last for the time of two incense sticks. If she is in actual combat and needs to use other spells, the time she can last will be even shorter.
However... the spiritual energy consumption of those who learn light body techniques is probably more than twice hers.
A smile appeared on Xu Chunniang's face. She had mastered the Lingxu footwork proficiently, so she was confident that she could dodge even if Qi Haozhi's flying sword was twice as fast.
"Right now, the only technique I haven't learned is the Earth Moistening Technique. But before that, let's see if I can make a breakthrough in the Spirit Explosion Technique."
Xu Chunniang took the spiritual dew and meditated on the spot. After recovering her spiritual power, she began to perform the spiritual explosion technique, condensing two streams of wood spiritual energy in one breath.
She wanted to try to split the two wood spiritual energies at the same time!
