Time flies by like a white horse.
She had actually been in this underground palace for twenty-five years, the system told her.
It is said that time does not exist in cultivation. Twenty-five years passed as if everything happened just yesterday. She stood up, rubbed her muscles and bones, and stretched her body, her bones making crackling sounds.
Purple lightning occasionally swirled in her hair, and her skin looked whiter and more delicate than before.
After twenty-five years of continuous tempering, almost all impurities hidden in the bones have been removed.
"System, didn't the black dragon come back?" She looked at the black snake-shaped mark on her wrist, which had faded a lot. Since the system said it could help her remove the mark, she did not intend to cut it off completely.
If the mark were removed, the black dragon would immediately notice something was wrong.
[Host, that creature has never come back. You can rest assured. If it enters the palace, I will definitely notice it.]
It was not known whether the black dragon was too confident in its own strength or too disdainful of her, but in the entire twenty-five years, it had never returned to the palace to check.
This is a good thing, as it makes her escape plan more convenient.
During these twenty-five years, she had practiced her skills while never giving up on the idea of leaving this place. She had mastered the first move, "Dancing Lightning," and the second move, "Electric Net Cage," to such an extreme that she could even combine them with other techniques for even greater effectiveness.
Now when he uses these two moves, his spiritual power will not be drained out at once, but it will also consume nearly 60% of his spiritual power.
After tempering her body with lightning day and night, the true thunder power absorbed into her body has become the size of a little finger.
Don't underestimate the power of true thunder that is the size of your little finger. Even if the power of true thunder is as thin as a hair, once released, it can easily kill an early Nascent Soul cultivator.
She was absolutely sure that if she released all of this truth and intelligence, even a Yuan Yuan Great Perfection form would be easily killed by her.
The reason why she was able to condense so much true thunder power so quickly was all due to the "Purple Qi Chaos Art" she practiced, which enabled her to collect true thunder power twice as fast as before.
Leng Qingning also accidentally practiced this set of skills when the real thunder came, and was surprised to find that the power of the condensed real thunder was greater than before.
He dug out the Purple Qi Chaos Art that she had set aside for so long and practiced it again. He finally learned the second move - Ten Thousand Miles of Ice. This second move was finally a proper attacking technique.
Leng Qingning's strength has now reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and she can finally try to open the secret compartment on the wall.
She gripped the wire tightly and sent a powerful spiritual force into the wall. With a crisp sound, the seal on the wall was instantly broken. She pressed the wall and found a pure black box in the secret compartment.
In an instant, a strong thunder spiritual power rushed towards him, and he saw a purple bead with smooth purple light flashing on it from time to time. The thunder spiritual power in the surrounding heaven and earth boiled in an instant.
The moment Leng Qingning saw the bead, her breathing suddenly became rapid. It turned out to be a thunder spirit bead!
Presumably, the black dragon wanted her to practice the technique first, and then take over her body smoothly, and then absorb the Thunder Spirit Pearl, but it didn't expect that in the end it would be her who got the advantage.
Her current strength wasn't enough to completely break through the weak spot in the corner and escape. However, if she absorbed the Thunder Spirit Pearl, she would have an 80% chance of escaping.
In order to prevent the black dragon from suddenly attacking her, she first placed a formation at the door.
"System, if that big guy suddenly comes back to kill me, you must remind me, otherwise your lovely host will die miserably at his hands."
[Host, rest assured, I will definitely help you keep an eye on it and will never let you die tragically at the hands of this black dragon!]
With the system helping her watch the door, Leng Qingning finally sat cross-legged under the skylight with peace of mind, which was the place where the power of thunder was the strongest, and absorbed the Thunder Spirit Pearl.
The thunder attribute is indeed worthy of being the most violent spiritual power of all attributes. Compared to the gentle water spirit bead, as soon as she absorbed the thunder spirit bead, countless violent forces ran around in her body, shaking her blood and causing her meridians to surge, which was extremely uncomfortable.
When these spiritual powers poured into her body, some of them were actually absorbed by the power of true thunder, and the feeling of her veins about to break was relieved a lot.
The remaining time is to refine this Thunder Spirit Pearl and make it completely integrated with oneself.
——
In the blink of an eye, another five years passed. This was her 30th year of cultivation in the underground palace. The Thunder Spirit Pearl had been completely refined and merged with her.
Now, two spiritual beads, one purple and one blue, were hovering near her dantian.
I don’t know if it’s because of these two spirit beads, but she originally had five elements of spirit roots, but now she has six spirit roots.
That water spiritual root actually turned into a heavenly spiritual root.
Moreover, she actually had another natural spiritual root with the aptitude of a thunder spiritual root, and his strength had reached the late Nascent Soul stage. He only needed an opportunity to break through to the Out-of-Body stage.
It seems that this trip to the bottom of the sea was worth it, as she gained so much.
Now, what puzzled her most was the sudden appearance of the Thunder Spirit Root.
Nowadays, the spiritual energy on the continent is mottled, and the more spiritual roots one has, the harder it is to cultivate. Therefore, single-root cultivators are the most popular.
Logically speaking, if a normal person absorbs a spirit bead with different attributes from your own, it will only be converted into spiritual power to improve your cultivation, which is not of much use.
Therefore, if ordinary cultivators obtain spiritual beads of other attributes, they will give priority to auctioning them or donating them to their families and sects to maximize their own benefits.
But why did she unlock new spiritual roots?
"Tongzi, can you detect any difference in my body? Why do I suddenly have an extra thunder spirit root?"
[Host, there is a special energy in your body that blocks me, and I cannot detect any results. However, if you absorb the spirit beads outside of the five elements, it may bring you a big surprise.]
Leng Qingning had a vague guess in her mind, but if she wanted to confirm this guess, she had to obtain other mutated spirit beads.
After thirty years of constant hammering by her day and night, the cloth has now become as thin as a layer of paper.
[Host, this is bad! That guy is on his way back and will be back in the palace in less than half an hour!]
Hearing the anxious voice of the system, she immediately smashed the wall, quickly wiped off the black snake mark on her hand, slapped several acceleration talismans on her body, put on acceleration magic boots, turned into a stream of light and flew away.
