"Let's do it here." Qing Xuanzi made a hand seal and released a beam of spiritual light, which immediately parted the mist to create a passage.
After the two landed, he set up a concealment array around them to ensure they would not be disturbed.
Rong Jiaojiao looked around curiously: "Master, it seems like someone has been here before."
She pointed to several shallow engravings on the rock face, which looked like remnants of some kind of rune.
After a careful examination, Qing Xuanzi frowned slightly: "These should be traces left by ancient cultivators, but they are very old, so there is no need to worry."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and took out a wooden house, placing it among the tangled roots of the banyan tree.
After putting Zi Ling into the small secret realm to let her cultivate properly, Rong Jiaojiao took out a futon and sat down with her master.
Rong Jiaojiao took out a pot of the spiritual essence liquid she had obtained and handed it to Qing Xuanzi, saying, "Master, yours is too little, I'll share some with you."
Qing Xuanzi shook his head and refused, his face full of heartache as he said, "Jiaojiao, I don't know if the many opportunities you have encountered are part of some arrangement by the Heavenly Dao."
"But the Nine Dragon Seal recognizes you as its master, and you will inevitably have to shoulder the responsibility of being the master of the Nine Dragon Seal in the future. Therefore, you must become stronger as soon as possible."
“Look, the other three seal holders each hold only one seal, but their cultivation is above yours. You, on the other hand, have already recognized four seals. So you must hurry up and cultivate.”
Seeing her worried expression, Rong Jiaojiao said, "Master, apart from Jun Yuangui, who I find somewhat unfathomable, neither Mo Bai nor Lin Xiaoman are my match."
Seeing his worried expression, she revealed to Qing Xuanzi, "Master, my spiritual power has already reached the mid-stage of the Earth Master realm, so I have some ability to protect myself."
Qing Xuanzi disagreed: "Jiaojiao, you're not enough. Have you forgotten how to use the divine sense to control the Nine Dragon Seal?"
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and said, "Master, I understand. I will not be careless and will definitely cultivate diligently."
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "I will use spirit stones to cultivate in the future. I will give you the spirit marrow liquid. This should be enough for you to cultivate to the peak of the Xuan Master realm. If you are lucky, you may be able to break through to the Earth Master realm."
"Master, no need."
Qing Xuanzi raised his hand to interrupt her: "Listen to your master. Only when you become strong can your master be at ease."
He was truly terrified by the demonic split soul, fearing that his disciple would lose his life if he encountered something so powerful.
Rong Jiaojiao's eyes were a little moist, and she rubbed her head against her master's arm, saying, "Thank you, Master."
Qing Xuanzi patted Rong Jiaojiao's head: "Alright, calm down and regulate your breathing. Once you're in a stable state, then take the Spirit Marrow Liquid."
Rong Jiaojiao gave a slightly nasal "Mmm" before sitting down properly.
After Rong Jiaojiao entered meditation, he set up a spirit-gathering array, placed high-grade spirit stones on it, and then sat cross-legged.
With a light tap of their fingertips, a tranquil array slowly formed around the two of them, isolating them from external noise.
Rong Jiaojiao's consciousness entered the small secret realm, allowing Yue Ling to circulate spiritual energy and cultivate in her place.
She first affixed a talisman to the divided soul before searching for the jade slip that Jun Yuangui had given her.
It really does contain the divine soul techniques, array formations, alchemy, and talisman inheritances that he mentioned.
Rong Jiaojiao put the other jade slips aside and did not rush to cultivate, but instead looked through the other inheritances first.
The array formation inheritance records many high-level array formations, and even some ancient restrictions;
The alchemy tradition explains in detail the properties and refining methods of various spiritual herbs, which are similar to the traditions in the alchemy furnace, only more comprehensive and detailed.
The inheritance of talismans broadened her horizons even more, including the method of refining the void "heavenly talisman" that can temporarily borrow the power of heaven and earth!
Finally, after carefully studying the "Divine Soul Technique," it was discovered that it was an extremely profound technique, specifically designed to temper the divine sense, and could even condense the divine sense into a physical form, integrating offense and defense.
If one cultivates to the highest level, their divine sense power can even transcend realms to kill their opponent!
"No wonder I always felt that Jun Yuangui was unfathomable... I didn't know his technique was so powerful." She exclaimed inwardly.
“These inheritances are all incredibly precious. How could Jun Yuangui just give them to me like this?” Rong Jiaojiao was filled with doubts, but she quickly composed herself.
Regardless, she decided to first cultivate the "Divine Soul Technique" to enhance her divine sense before researching other inheritances.
She believed that as long as she became strong, anyone who dared to scheme against her would be dealt with decisively.
Because the Soul Technique given to her by Jun Yuangui was completely different from the one she had previously obtained from the Soul Reaper, she had to start cultivating it from scratch.
If she had to start cultivating again, she would have to return to her sea of consciousness and would not be able to use the ten times speed in the secret realm. At this time, Rong Jiaojiao was very grateful that there was a small secret realm, which allowed her to lay a good foundation beforehand. Even if she started cultivating from scratch, it would save her a lot of time.
She began to study by probing the jade slip with her divine sense. The words in the jade slip transformed into streams of light and flowed into her sea of consciousness.
Her consciousness withdrew from the small secret realm and returned to her sea of consciousness.
The "Divine Soul Technique" is divided into nine levels: the first three are "Concentrating the Spirit," the middle three are "Transforming into Form," and the last three are "Understanding the Profound"...
She then dispelled the previous techniques, causing her originally solidified divine consciousness to dissolve into mist and fill her entire sea of consciousness.
Following the instructions of the technique, one should first gather one's divine sense inward. The divine sense power that was originally scattered in the sea of consciousness like mist began to slowly rotate, forming a tiny vortex.
As the vortex rotated, the scattered divine consciousness was gradually gathered and compressed.
Rong Jiaojiao felt a series of stinging pains in her sea of consciousness, as if countless tiny needles were pricking her.
This is the pain caused by the forced condensation of divine consciousness.
She gritted her teeth and persevered, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
"Divine consciousness is like sand; accumulating sand builds a tower..."
She silently recited the incantation, and the vortex gradually increased its rotation speed.
The originally loose spiritual consciousness began to become viscous, like a piece of iron being forged, with impurities being removed little by little.
After an unknown amount of time, a crystal-clear "water droplet" quietly formed at the center of the vortex in the sea of consciousness.
"It's done!"
Rong Jiaojiao was overjoyed.
This drop of "water" is the sign of successful completion of the first level of cultivation—"Divine Essence Liquid".
Although it was only a single drop, the divine power contained within it was several times stronger than in its previous scattered state!
She didn't stop, continuing to circulate her cultivation technique. This time, she wanted to continuously refine the "Divine Essence Liquid," making it even purer.
The vortex of divine consciousness continued to spin, and the newly condensed divine consciousness power continuously merged into that drop of "divine essence liquid".
The droplet gradually grew larger, from the size of a soybean to the size of a fingertip.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my mind!
Rong Jiaojiao let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning pale.
It turned out that she had acted too hastily and overcompressed her spiritual sense, causing the droplet to become unstable and almost disintegrate.
"We can't rush it..."
She took a deep breath, slowed down, and carefully controlled the input of her divine sense.
The droplet stabilized again, and its surface developed a faint sheen.
When the "Divine Essence Liquid" grew to the size of a fist, Rong Jiaojiao began the third step of her cultivation—solidifying her liquid divine consciousness.
