Xiaobai put down the Sea Spirit Pearl in his claws with some frustration, and could only watch Xu Chunniang and Xiaojuzi's cultivation level expand rapidly like a balloon.
The spiritual energy contained in the Sea Spirit Pearl is pure and can be directly absorbed, making it a holy item for cultivation.
In just five days, Xu Chunniang and Xiaojuzi consumed more than a hundred sea spirit beads respectively, broke through two small realms, and were promoted to the third level of golden elixir one after another.
If these more than one hundred sea spirit beads were converted into top-grade spirit stones, they would be equivalent to forty or fifty top-grade spirit stones.
Theoretically speaking, if there are enough top-grade spirit stones, one can indeed raise one's cultivation to the highest level in a very short period of time.
However, top-grade spirit stones are rare and often only exist in spirit veins.
And the spiritual veins are controlled by various major forces, so there are even fewer top-grade spiritual stones circulating in the market.
Moreover, although the cultivation gained in this way saves a lot of time of hard practice, it requires a longer time to consolidate.
After being promoted to the third level of Golden Core, Little Orange decisively stopped absorbing the Sea Spirit Pearl.
Although continuing to absorb it could forcibly raise his cultivation to the fourth level of the Golden Core, the disadvantages of continuous breakthroughs in a short period of time were also obvious.
In mild cases, it will lead to unstable cultivation, and in severe cases, it may even shake the foundation, making future breakthroughs more difficult.
Feeling the abundant spiritual energy in her dantian and the purple elixir that had grown larger than before, Xu Chunniang thought for a moment, then grabbed a handful of sea spirit beads and continued to absorb them.
After she broke through the third level of the Golden Core, her cultivation remained solid.
The Tai Shang Xiao Yao Heart Sutra was very domineering when absorbing spiritual energy. The purple pill in the dantian shook slightly and easily absorbed the vast spiritual energy.
And after the promotion, I didn't feel any discomfort.
Now she and Xiaojuzi are in a small world. Even if they stop absorbing the Sea Spirit Pearl, the spiritual energy will not be wasted, but will spread everywhere in the small world.
But spiritual energy is easy to obtain, but sea spirit pearls are hard to find.
Normally it was difficult to get one Sea Spirit Pearl, but now there were hundreds of Sea Spirit Pearls in front of her, she couldn’t let their spiritual energy dissipate!
With this thought in mind, Xu Chunniang increased the speed of absorbing spiritual energy.
Looking inward, one can see that the purple pill in her dantian is slowly rotating, continuously drawing in spiritual energy from the outside world.
As the process progressed, her aura rose again, approaching the fourth level of Golden Core.
Just as she continued to absorb spiritual energy, the small branch that was originally lying lazily next to Zidan seemed to sense her thoughts and trembled slightly.
Suddenly, the remaining hundreds of sea spirit beads burst instantly, and a huge amount of spiritual energy was attracted and poured back towards the small branches frantically.
A huge amount of spiritual energy entered the small branch, but it disappeared without a trace like a drop in the ocean.
After the small branch absorbed all the spiritual energy in just three breaths, the tip of the bud trembled slightly and grew a little bigger.
As the tender green buds grew, a wisp of green air floated out from them.
As soon as this wisp of green air appeared, it brought out spiritual energy that was dozens of times purer than that of the Sea Spirit Pearl, and went towards the purple pill.
The purple pill that was originally rotating slowly suddenly shone brightly and swallowed the green air in one gulp.
After Zidan swallowed the green air, it instantly grew a little bigger.
As the purple pill grew, Xu Chunniang's cultivation level actually broke through the third level of the golden elixir and reached the fourth level of the golden elixir!
At the same time, the venomous snakes lurking deep in her spiritual veins, sensing the green energy, began to retreat as if they had encountered their nemesis.
In just a few breaths, the venom of these troublesome snakes was completely eliminated.
Her left forearm, which had been dyed dark green by snake venom, also returned to normal.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes with a look of surprise in them.
The Tai Shang Xiao Yao Sutra is truly miraculous. From the early stage of the Golden Elixir to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, there is no bottleneck at all!
After feeling the purple pill that had strengthened her body, she suppressed her excitement and observed the small branch that had returned to silence again.
The twig had a noble origin, and she had secretly guessed its specific effects.
At the moment, it seems that after absorbing spiritual energy, it can give back spiritual energy that is dozens of times purer, and can also make snake venom avoid it. It should be some kind of recovery treasure.
Originally, at Xu Chunniang's speed, it would take at least ten to twenty days to absorb all the Sea Spirit Pearls.
But it took only three breaths for the small branch to absorb all the spiritual energy in the Sea Spirit Pearl, and the tender buds on it only grew a little bigger.
This made her even more curious about the origin of the twig.
However, after the small branch emitted a ray of green air, it returned to silence.
He just leaned lazily around Zidan, returning to his previous state of being unable to move.
Xu Chunniang felt the powerful spiritual energy in her body and finally understood why Qiongqi risked his life to run to the palace of Mirage City to steal the Sea Spirit Pearl.
In just a few days, her cultivation level broke through three levels.
In the past, this would have been unimaginable.
After all, after reaching the Golden Core Stage, the amount of spiritual energy required for each breakthrough is enormous.
The Tai Shang Xiao Yao Heart Sutra and the Tai Xu Qi allowed Xu Chunniang's cultivation speed to far surpass that of other Jin Dan cultivators of the same period.
However, without the use of Sea Spirit Pearls and top-grade spirit stones, reaching the fourth level of Golden Core requires at least twenty years of sleepless and hard practice.
This shows how big the gap is between having resource support and just practicing hard.
Xu Chunniang put her thoughts aside, and with a flash of her body, she left the small world and reappeared in the water.
She went up and continued to move upwards.
When we arrived at the shallow sea area, we encountered more and more sea monsters.
Most of these sea monsters are in the Foundation Establishment Stage, with one or two Golden Core Stage sea monsters occasionally mixed in.
When they noticed Xu Chunniang's whereabouts, their eyes turned red and they rushed towards her with a desperate attitude.
Xu Chunniang frowned secretly as she dealt with the sea monsters that kept coming at her.
There's something wrong with these sea monsters.
In the past, when sea monsters in the foundation-building stage encountered her, they would have hidden far away from her, and would not have rushed towards her like they did now.
Moreover, sea monsters of different species will fight each other and hardly cooperate with each other.
Although these sea monsters before him were numerous and of different races, they rarely took a unified stance.
It is not easy to gather them together.
In this case, could it be that...
Recalling what Jin Liu of the Golden Snake Clan had said before, Xu Chunniang had a bad feeling in her heart.
Could it be that the nearby islands are suffering from a tide of sea monsters
After all, only when there is a tide of sea monsters will these sea monsters temporarily put aside the hatred between different races and unite to deal with human monks.
Seeing that more and more sea monsters were surrounding them, Xu Chunniang did not want to get entangled with them any longer, so she activated the Nine Steps of Freedom to escape.
Half an hour later, she left all the sea monsters behind, jumped out of the water, and looked into the distance.
After seeing the scene in the distance clearly, her heart sank.
