Xu Chunniang returned to the cave and immediately saw Xiaojuzi lying outside the cave basking in the sun.
This time when she went to the Western Regions, she did not bring Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai with her, but left them in Xiaowushan to guard the cave.
Before leaving, seeing that the spiritual energy in Xiaowushan was not abundant, she specially moved two spiritual veins out from the small world.
Seeing her come back, Little Orange was surprised and flew towards her excitedly.
Xu Chunniang smiled and picked up the small orange. It was much heavier in her hand than before.
She was a little surprised when she saw that Xiaojuzi had obviously gained some weight.
"What have you been eating while I've been away?"
Little Orange showed an expression of enjoyment and gestured for her to look into the distance.
Xu Chunniang turned her head and saw two female practitioners at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training riding paper cranes towards Xiaowushan.
There was a hint of surprise on her face. Xiaowushan was her place of seclusion and few people visited.
Currently, only Grandmaster Sheng knows the news of her return.
Could it be that Grandmaster Sheng informed Uncle Yue of her return, and these two Qi training disciples came here on Uncle Yue's orders
Just as Xu Chunniang was guessing, the two female cultivators arrived at Xiaowushan on paper cranes.
They put the paper cranes aside and walked straight in this direction.
When they came closer, they looked at the little orange in her arms with some surprise.
One of them even asked with envy, "May I ask what did you feed to Senior Linghu that made him value you so much?"
Xu Chunniang looked at Xiaojuzi with suspicion.
The little orange in his arms looked at the two female cultivators and raised his chin proudly.
The two understood each other and rushed to take out the prepared spiritual food from the storage bag and handed it to Xiaojuzi's mouth respectfully.
"Senior Linghu, this is the red flame fruit I prepared. It tastes sour and sweet. I guarantee it's the flavor you like."
"Senior Linghu, these are the spiritual chestnuts I planted myself. They are fragrant and crispy, and they are delicious."
Little Orange first tasted the spiritual chestnut, and then took a bite of the Red Flame Fruit. He narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, revealing a look of pleasure.
It also signaled to Xu Chunniang with its eyes, asking her to try some as well.
Xu Chunniang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Could it be that during the years when she was away, Xiaojuzi had been on the mountain being fed by the disciples
She finally understood how Xiaojuzi grew so fat.
The Red Flame Fruit and Spirit Chestnut are not valuable spiritual objects, they just taste good. However, for cultivators in the Qi training stage, they are rare items.
These two female disciples rode on paper cranes and came all the way to Xiaowushan. Could it be that they did so just to feed the little orange
Then Xiaojuzi collected the remaining Red Flame Fruits and Spirit Chestnuts and sent a divine thought towards the two of them.
"Tell me, is there anything that requires my help?"
Seeing that Xiaojuzi accepted the spiritual objects they brought, the two of them showed joy on their faces.
"The two of us plan to go to the Hundred Demons Mountain Range for training, but we don't want to team up with others. We beg Senior Linghu to help and escort us."
Little Orange nodded arrogantly and sent out a divine thought.
"Okay, let's stick to the old rules. I won't take action unless your lives are in danger. I like the Spirit Chestnut and Red Flame Fruit very much, so I'll accompany you for a few days."
The two were overjoyed and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Senior Linghu."
Seeing this scene, Xu Chunniang suddenly felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
It seems that Xiaojuzi has been doing well during the years when she was away.
After watching Xiaojuzi and the other two walk away, Xu Chunniang stepped into the cave and immediately saw Xiaobai who was practicing hard.
Xiaobai was also delighted to see her return safely, and he took out some spiritual fruits from his storage ring and asked her to taste them.
Needless to say, these spiritual fruits were most likely "tribute" from the sect's Qi training disciples.
Xu Chunniang picked up two spiritual fruits at random and tasted them. Although the spiritual energy in them was very little, they tasted really good.
Unlike Xiaojuzi who eats, drinks and plays every day, Xiaobai feels that his strength is too low. He has been practicing hard in the past few years, trying to catch up with Xiaojuzi.
After reminiscing about the past with Xiaobai, Xu Chunniang stepped into the training room, ready to refine the essence of the dragon vein.
The origin of the dragon vein contains amazing spiritual energy. As soon as she refined a strand of it, her cultivation began to loosen up.
When one’s cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, every bit of progress is extremely difficult to come by.
In addition to top-grade spirit stones and some precious spiritual medicines, only spiritual objects from heaven and earth such as the origin of dragon veins can improve one's cultivation.
Xu Chunniang refined the dragon vein's essence very slowly. Every time she refined a strand, in addition to a large amount of spiritual energy, she also absorbed a trace of Taoism.
The Taixu innate purple pill in her dantian became more and more mysterious after absorbing these Taoist essences.
Time passed quietly, and the small branch swallowed the dragon vein essence in just a few bites. It took Xu Chunniang three full years to refine them all for her own use.
After absorbing the essence of the dragon vein, her cultivation has now reached the seventh level of Nascent Soul!
In just three years, he had broken through three levels. If this news were to spread, it would probably cause a huge sensation.
Xu Chunniang opened her eyes, feeling the powerful cultivation in her body, her eyes were clear and flawless.
She could feel that after refining the essence of the dragon vein and absorbing its inner meaning, her connection with this world became closer and she had a deeper understanding of things.
The more profound your practice becomes, the more you will return to nature, seeing mountains as mountains and water as water.
Xu Chunniang stood up and stepped out of the cave. She raised her finger slightly, and a fine and dense spiritual rain began to fall from the sky.
As soon as she thought about it, the rain suddenly became heavier and extended to the entire Xiaowu Mountain.
Compared with the previous small-scale spiritual rain, the spiritual energy content in these spiritual rains remains unchanged, but the range is dozens of times larger.
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly and used her spiritual sense to compress the spiritual rain slightly. After a while, it condensed into spiritual dew.
These techniques may seem different, but their essence is the same, which is to transform spiritual energy into rain.
As long as you can understand the principles of the magic, you will be able to understand everything. The rest is to control the spiritual energy.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment, took out a blank jade slip, wrote down several improved small spells such as the Spirit Dew Technique, Spirit Soil Technique, Spirit Explosion Technique, etc., and gave them to Xiaojuzi who was hiding in the cave to watch the rain.
"Please go to the main peak and give these spells to Uncle Yue."
Seeing that the rain had stopped, Little Orange shook his tail, took the jade slip, and headed towards the main peak.
Xu Chunniang withdrew her gaze and did not return to the cave. Instead, she walked towards the location of the Xiaowushan spiritual vein.
Using the essence of dragon veins to practice, the speed was much faster than she had imagined.
Now that she has reached the seventh level of Nascent Soul, she plans to use the spiritual veins to continue her practice in seclusion and raise her cultivation to the ninth level of Nascent Soul in one fell swoop.
According to her estimation, she only needed to absorb one spiritual vein, and that should be enough.
Xu Chunniang escaped into the ground and sat cross-legged on the spiritual vein, with her spiritual consciousness covering the entire spiritual vein.
As the Supreme Free and Easy Heart Sutra was circulated, a huge amount of spiritual energy emerged from her spiritual veins and rushed into her body...
