If other people knew that he used spiritual veins directly for cultivation, they would be absolutely stunned.
But for Xu Chunniang, who has already reached the seventh level of Nascent Soul cultivation, this is the fastest way for her to improve her cultivation.
When you reach the late Nascent Soul stage, if you use the ordinary practice method to improve your cultivation by two levels, it will take at least one hundred to eighty years.
Unless you have top-grade spirit stones or fourth-grade elixirs that can improve your cultivation, the time can be greatly shortened.
The heroic act of directly utilizing spiritual veins to practice can undoubtedly shorten the practice time to the extreme.
It was because Xu Chunniang had fished out six spiritual veins overseas that she could be so extravagant.
After absorbing this entire spiritual vein, Xu Chunniang's cultivation finally reached the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul.
Feeling more powerful than ever before, she glanced at the dried-up spiritual veins, then stood up and left deep underground.
After counting on her fingers, she realized that another six years had passed since she went underground to practice.
After nine years of secluded practice, her cultivation level leapt from the fourth level of Nascent Soul to the perfect Nascent Soul stage.
This rate of progress is terrifying, but the consumption is also horrific.
Xu Chunniang stretched and moved her arms and legs. Seeing a peach tree in full bloom at the foot of Xiaowu Mountain, she sat down under the tree and took out the jade slip that contained the teleportation array map to read it carefully.
"Is Senior Linghu in the mountains?"
A familiar voice was heard. Xu Chunniang looked over and raised her eyebrows slightly.
It turned out that the person who came was none other than Xu Wanran, who was somewhat related to Xu Chunniang.
Xu Wanran's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried.
She glanced back and forth across Xiaowushan, and when she saw the familiar figure under the peach tree, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Senior... Grandmaster Xu!"
Xu Wanran took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and bowed deeply.
She came to Xiaowushan because she was at her wit's end. Holding on to a glimmer of hope, she wanted to seek help from Senior Linghu.
But she didn't expect that when she came to Xiaowushan, she would meet Master Xu, with whom she had a close relationship.
Thinking of what she had heard from her uncle who was in charge of building the foundation of the sect about her relationship with Grandmaster Xu, Xu Wanran's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Master Xu might be able to help me with this matter.
Xu Chunniang put away the jade slip in her hand and glanced at her.
"It's been a long time since we last met. You have already reached the ninth level of Qi training. It seems that you have not slacked off in your practice over the years."
Xu Wanran bowed respectfully and replied.
"Since I entered Xiaoyao Sect, I have always kept in mind the teachings of my master and have not dared to slack off in my cultivation for even a single day, with the sole purpose of establishing my foundation as soon as possible."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, "It's really unfortunate that you came here today. Little Orange is not in the mountain. It must have gone down the mountain."
Xu Wanran hesitated for a moment, then bravely explained her purpose.
"I came here to ask Senior Linghu for a favor. Since Senior Linghu is not here, I beg Grandmaster Xu to help me."
As she spoke, her eyes became red and she knelt down directly.
Seeing her behavior, Xu Chunniang remained calm.
"Tell me first what trouble you have encountered."
"Many years ago, my parents came to Qingshan Town Market with the map that Grandmaster Xu left behind, and settled down there. It has been 24 years now."
Xu Wanran told the story slowly and it turned out that her parents missed her so much that they actually traveled thousands of miles to Qingshan Town Market.
There were originally quite a few mortals living in Qingshan Town. With Xu Wanran's care, her parents managed to settle down in Qingshan Town.
Xu Chunniang understood, "But something happened to your parents?"
Xu Wanran nodded with tears in her eyes, "My father was infected with a serious illness a few days ago. After I treated him with spiritual energy, he still didn't get better, but got worse.
I came here to ask Senior Linghu to give me some magical medicine to bless my father with good health."
Xu Chunniang sighed inwardly. It would have been fine if this matter had not been asked of her, but after all, it was she who brought Xu Wanran into the sect personally, so she might as well go with her.
She closed her eyes, and a phantom walked out of her body. It was the phantom of spiritual consciousness that Xu Chunniang comprehended after she broke through her cultivation level.
The effect of this spiritual shadow is somewhat similar to that of an incarnation.
However, the phantom of the spiritual consciousness can only exist for a few hours to several days, and its cultivation level is only at the foundation-building stage.
Seeing this scene, Xu Wanran's face showed surprise, and she had a deeper understanding of Master Xu's strength.
"Lead the way."
The spiritual shadow spoke in a faint voice, and her words and actions were no different from Xu Chunniang's real body.
As for Xu Chunniang's real body, she was still sitting under the peach tree and took out the jade slip she had just seen.
Xu Wanran calmed down, nodded, took the paper crane she was riding on, and flew towards the market town of Qingshan.
As for Xu Chunniang's spiritual shadow, it followed beside her and headed forward together.
Xu Wanran turned around and looked at "Master Xu". "Master, will you scare others with this look?"
It's no wonder Xu Wanran asked this question. It was a bit strange to suddenly see such a spiritual shadow floating in the air.
The spirit shadow shook his head, "It doesn't matter, other people can't see me."
Xu Wanran finally felt relieved and continued to fly towards the market town.
Seeing how skillfully she controlled the paper crane, Xu Chunniang was deeply moved.
When she was an outer disciple, paper cranes were only for inner disciples to use, and outer disciples had no access to them at all.
Now that the mountain gate has been reopened, the number of disciples has dropped more than ten times, and while the requirements are more stringent than before, the disciples' benefits have increased a lot.
After entering the market town of Qingshan, Xu Wanran put away the paper crane and walked towards an inconspicuous house.
"Master, this is where my parents live."
Xu Chunniang's spiritual shadow followed, and followed Xu Wanran into the yard and walked towards the inner room.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
A violent cough was heard, and then it was deliberately suppressed.
Xu Wanran showed a look of heartache on her face and pushed the door open and walked quickly into the room.
"Dad, I'm here to see you."
An old man with a pale face was lying on the bed. When he saw Xu Wanran, he forced himself to sit up.
"Ranran is here? Ahem... "
Seeing this, Xu Wanran quickly helped him up.
"Have you been feeling better these days? I asked the old man from the sect to come over and help you take care of your body."
The old man shook his head and disagreed, "My body is like this. Why do you have to delay your practice because of me and bother the elders in the sect?"
Xu Wanran showed an embarrassed look on her face.
"Dad, you have also seen the master I invited here. He is the one who led me into the sect when I was in my hometown.
But the ancestor used his magical powers, so you can't see her."
Upon hearing this, the old man stopped looking around and bowed respectfully towards the void.
"I am incompetent and have caused trouble for the ancestor."
Xu Chunniang waved her hand, and a gentle spiritual energy fell on the old man, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.
Xu Wanran carefully laid the old man down on the bed, then turned to look at the shadow of Xu Chunniang's spirit.
"Master, can you tell me how to cure my father's illness?"
Xu Chunniang sighed inwardly and shook her head.
"The life span is exhausted, the vitality is depleted, and there is no medicine to cure it."
