Chapter 276: Companion Spirit Cultivation

The entrance to the spiritual cultivation secret realm looks like an ordinary cave, about 3 meters in diameter, pitch black, and can only be entered with the guide key. The secret realm has its own spatial laws, and they will enter an independent space that matches their own spiritual attributes.

After Ning Xuan entered the secret realm, she immediately felt the pure fire energy. The external energy resonated with the blood in her body. Her companion spirit automatically left her body and turned into a three-meter-long Vermillion Bird. Ning Xuan felt her vision turn and sensed her body, only to find that she was inside the Vermillion Bird. Her body was curled up in the Vermillion Bird's abdomen, but her consciousness could roam freely inside the Vermillion Bird's body.

Is this what it means to merge with a companion spirit?

With the help of Suzaku's vision, she could see the trajectory of the fire element in the psychic space. She didn't have to do anything, and countless fire elements rushed towards Suzaku and poured into her body, surrounding Suzaku like the moon surrounded by stars.

Zhuque's consciousness suddenly awakened deep in her blood. When she opened her ten fingers and grasped the void, the violent fire energy turned into golden red threads that wrapped around her fingers. She heard a clear and long cry in the sky that was in sync with her heartbeat.

"rise--!"

The solid ground beneath her feet exploded, and the girl turned into a red meteor, tearing open the space.

The wings of the Vermillion Bird suddenly spread out behind her, with flame patterns flowing on each feather, and the strong wind it stirred up caused vibrations in the space.

"So this is the fire of the Vermillion Bird, the Fire of Separation." Ning Xuan turned her wrist (claw), and what was leaping in her palm was not a flame, but a ball of brilliant golden light. When she threw the ball of brilliant golden light towards the sea of clouds in front of her, the thick clouds were instantly evaporated.

Ning Xuan took a running start and felt her body flying up like an arrow. Feeling like she was speeding at lightning speed, Ning Xuan quickly mastered the flying method of Suzaku.

One of Suzaku's skills is high-speed flight.

Ning Xuan sensed Zhuque's body, flying freely in this vast space. After flying at high speed for more than ten minutes, a huge volcano appeared in front of Ning Xuan, and she could hear the roar of magma surging deep in the earth's veins.

Hot magma was constantly spewing out from the bottom of the volcano, and magma puppets crawled out one after another from the magma. There was the breath of fire spirit in those puppets.

Ning Xuan sensed the breath of the Flame Spirit and immediately swooped down, twisting the flame into a long whip and lashing it at the magma puppet. With a crisp sound, the sparks exploded into strings of flames, but the magma puppet remained intact.

After several attempts, Ning Xuan finally found the correct way to attack. She gave up controlling the flames and used magic to attack. She raised her hand and swung her claws at the magma puppet. With a bang, the magma puppet suddenly split into two halves. A wisp of golden-red flame spirit flew out of the magma puppet and merged into the body of Suzaku.

After that wisp of golden-red flame spirit entered Suzaku's body, Ning Xuan could sense the blood energy in Suzaku's body flashing, and Suzaku's flame spirit was strengthened.

"The two hundred and thirty-ninth." Ning Xuan stepped on the boiling basalt, concentrating on splitting one magma puppet after another. Every time she split a magma puppet, a wisp of golden-red flame spirit flew into her body. As she split more and more magma puppets, the number of magma puppets crawling out of the magma pool decreased, and the time intervals between them became longer and longer.

When Ning Xuan realized that her spiritual consciousness was a little tired, she acted decisively, flapped her wings, flew out of the volcano, and returned to the vast plains.

Ning Xuan returned her consciousness to her body, closed her eyes and meditated, mobilizing the blood energy in her body and practicing the "Spirit Induction Sutra". It was a little sluggish at first, but soon, the surging fire energy was injected into Ning Xuan's body, and her body turned into a sea of fire. The pain of the burning meridians made her look miserable.

The clear sound of birdsong circled above her head. The fiery red Vermilion Bird's body changed from big to small, from solid to virtual, and finally merged into Ning Xuan's body.

After Suzaku merged into Ning Xuan's body, the burning pain eased a lot. Ning Xuan touched the flame mark between her eyebrows, where the burning temperature remained.

"Congratulations, Master, you have mastered the correct way to cultivate a companion spirit. No wonder your strength has increased so quickly. Not only do you have strong genetic bloodline talents, but you are also very good at understanding the path of cultivation." Yu Mingche's voice suddenly sounded in Ning Xuan's ears.

His tone revealed genuine emotion and undisguised praise, which made Ning Xuan blush a little.

"Where are you? Didn't they say that everyone would enter an independent space? How did you find mine?" Ning Xuan asked curiously.

"This is a unique ability possessed by my companion spirit, the nine-tailed fox. It's not easy to explain. However, the reason I was able to find you so quickly is because your companion spirit is too powerful. When the Vermillion Bird appeared, the energy flow of the entire spiritual secret realm was affected, so I was able to find you quickly." Yu Mingche explained.

"Then where are you now? Can you enter my space?" Ning Xuan asked.

"I'm in another space. It's not impossible for me to enter your space. However, crossing the space requires a lot of energy. There is no need to cross the space unless it is absolutely necessary." Yu Mingche responded.

"Oh, then you don't have to worry about me. Since you are here, you should practice well." Ning Xuan said to Yu Mingche.

"Okay, Master, I wish you all the best." After saying this, Yu Mingche's voice gradually faded away.

Yu Mingche was very familiar with the secret realm of spiritual cultivation. Although he had left, he was still able to pay attention to the situation here.

After Yu Mingche left, Ning Xuan took out a few bottles of potions to restore mental and physical strength from the space button. After drinking the potions, she continued to practice.

When Ning Xuan's body separated from Zhuque's body, some of the newly acquired fire energy in Zhuque's body was injected into Ning Xuan's body. When Ning Xuan was practicing in human form, her most important task was to refine this part of fire energy and introduce the refined pure energy into various parts of the body to enhance the body's strength and various attributes.

As her practice deepened, Ning Xuan could feel that her body became lighter, her meridians became wider and stronger, her vision became clearer, her perception became more sensitive, and the power that burst out of her muscles became more powerful and exciting.

On the ninth day of cultivation, the companion spirit Suzaku finished her cultivation and merged into Ning Xuan's body again. Ning Xuan combined her understanding of Suzaku's flight over the past few days and controlled the flame energy to condense a pair of flame wings about 3 meters long at her shoulder blades.

Ning Xuan's mind moved, and the pair of wings flapped up and down, carrying her off the ground. She had flown with the body of the Vermillion Bird so many times, but for the first time, she flew with her own body.
