However, in fact, restoring the fairy spirit was far from as simple as Xu Chunniang thought.
The immortal energy of Zhangwei Mountain is already thin, and with the obstruction of Qinggang stone, the amount of immortal energy that can be absorbed and stored in the body is very limited.
In particular, when she built the stone house, she only thought about improving its ability to resist cold and used double the amount of qinggang stone, but ignored this point.
After meditating for a whole day, feeling the almost unchanged spiritual energy in her body, Xu Chunniang opened her eyes and shook her head helplessly.
It seems that meditating in a stone house is not feasible.
If you want to restore your spiritual energy, you can only go outside the stone house.
Xu Chunniang pushed open the door and was blown in the face by a biting cold wind. She couldn't help but shiver and her body temperature dropped rapidly.
Without using any laws to protect herself, she intuitively felt for the first time how harsh the environment of Zhangwei Mountain was.
No wonder the other people she saw in the mountains always wore thick fur coats. The frost in the sky was really cold.
She still had some vital energy in her body to protect her, yet she still felt the cold was unbearable. If it were someone else, it would be even more painful.
It seems that her words of advice to Xiaobai were a bit too conservative. With Xiaobai's physique, he would most likely get frostbite if he was exposed to the wind outside the stone house for half an hour.
Xu Chunniang exhaled lightly, trying hard to ignore the discomfort in her body, feeling the immortal energy in the cold, and practicing the Tai Shang Xiaoyao Heart Sutra, carefully taking the immortal energy that was spreading around into her body.
As an ascender, after her ascension, she received a book on the common cultivation method in the fairy world from Chang Qing, called "Record of Ascension to Immortality".
The skills practiced before ascension are often no longer applicable in the fairy world, so all ascenders will get new training methods from the guiding fairy envoys after ascension.
Although the cultivation methods that the ascenders received from the guiding immortal envoys were not necessarily very powerful, for most of the ascenders who were short of money, this "Record of Ascension to Immortality" could be regarded as a solution to their urgent needs.
Moreover, this "Record of Ascension to Immortality" has an extremely significant advantage. The cultivation methods recorded in it are applicable to all races and can be practiced by people of all races.
However, the advantages of the Record of Ascension to Immortality are obvious, but its disadvantages are equally obvious. When practicing with this method, the speed of absorbing immortal energy is too slow.
Therefore, after accumulating enough immortal crystals, many immortals’ first priority is to buy a better set of skills to replace the Record of Ascension to Immortality.
However, this famous record of ascension to immortality is of no use to Xu Chunniang.
As early as when she just ascended, she discovered that new words appeared on the Tai Shang Xiao Yao Heart Sutra in her mind. She only needed to practice according to the new words.
Xu Chunniang followed the method described in the Tai Shang Xiao Yao Heart Sutra to sense the immortal energy around her and draw it into her body.
Fairy spirits are hard to capture, and the more anxious you are, the easier it is to disturb them.
Only by being patient and breathing in and out gradually can you absorb it smoothly.
When you are concentrating on cultivation, it is easy to forget the passage of time.
Two hours later, Xu Chunniang felt something was wrong and woke up from her practice. She found that her whole body was frozen and she was unconscious from the cold.
It turned out that she had stayed outside the stone house for too long and had suffered slight frostbite.
Xu Chunniang carefully activated the immortal energy in her body and created several laws to protect her body. She waited for a while, and after her body regained some consciousness, she tried to stand up and walked back to the stone house.
Xiaobai could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her expression, and came over to her with a look of worry on his face.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? You look so pale, like there's no blood in your face. Did you stay outside for too long and get frostbitten?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head and coughed a few times. "Yes, I'm a little cold, but I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while."
There was more worry on Xiaobai's face, and he couldn't help but blame himself.
"You were coughing, but you said you were fine. I was worried about disturbing your practice, so I didn't go out to call you. If I had known this, I should have called you earlier!
Oh, right, frostbite cream! Didn't Mr. Gong give us a bottle of frostbite cream? Sister, use that quickly, it should make you feel better after using it."
Xu Chunniang felt that she was not seriously injured. If the frostbite ointment was sold alone, it would cost ten immortal crystals. This minor injury on her body would heal in a few days and there was no need to apply any medicine.
But seeing that Xiaobai was very anxious, she still took out the frostbite ointment and applied it to the wound with her fingertips.
The frostbite ointment is indeed effective. As soon as I applied it, the pain was relieved a lot. It exudes a fragrance mixed with cedar and grass jelly, which makes people feel refreshed.
Xu Chunniang put away the remaining frostbite ointment and told Xiaobai not to be nervous. "Okay, the ointment has been applied. Now you should believe that I'm fine, right?"
Xiaobai was still a little scared. The frostbite on the sister's body was not serious because she did not stay outside for a long time. If she had stayed longer, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
He said seriously, "Sister, you must never do this again. You said that I should not stay outside for more than an hour, but you did not follow the rules and forgot the time when you started practicing.
I will have to take good care of you when you practice in the future!"
Xu Chunniang felt a little ashamed. She knew that she had made Xiaobai worry.
She rubbed Xiaobai's head and said, "I see. This time I miscalculated and thought I could stay outside for a while longer. I won't do that again in the future."
Xiaobai nodded, but his face did not look relaxed. He looked worried, as if he was worried about something.
"What's wrong? Are you bored staying in this stone house all day?"
Xiao Bai shook his head, hesitating to speak, "Sister, I think if you want to survive in Zhangwei Mountain, you can't avoid wearing fur coats. After all, the speed of recovering immortal energy in the stone house is too slow.
But we have too few immortal crystals, and we can’t even afford the most ordinary fur coat…”
At the end of his speech, Xiaobai's tone gradually became low.
He and his sister spent two full months building an airtight two-story stone house. As long as they stayed in the stone house and did not go out, they would not feel cold.
But they can't stay in the stone house forever, right
The fact that there is no way to replenish the spiritual energy in the stone house is already a problem.
"You're right. I've actually thought about this."
Without fur clothes, I can only practice outside for one hour at a time, which is too slow.
At this rate, even if she was practicing the Tai Shang Xiao Yao Heart Sutra, it would take at least several months to fully restore the spiritual energy in her body.
And Xiaobai couldn't leave the stone house for too long relying on his own strength.
Moreover, when she was practicing outside the stone house, she also needed a fur coat to keep warm.
So, the problem still lies with the fairy crystal.
"After a few days, when my frostbite has healed, I will go to Old Gong and borrow some more immortal crystals."
