Chapter 51: Refining the Jade Mirror
After an incense stick of time, Su Qingwu finished his meal and returned to the bluestone courtyard on Cuimu Peak.
Su Wen saw that she looked a little serious, so he immediately put away his smile, floated to her side, and asked in a gentle voice:
"Qingwu, what happened?"
"It's nothing. I just heard that a fellow disciple had died, and I remembered that I was also weak, so I felt bad. Don't worry, I have figured it out along the way. I will work harder in the future and will not complain about the fate."
Hearing this, Su Wen felt a little relieved.
"It's good that you can figure it out. You can stay in the sect for the next few days. How about we take this opportunity to refine the Jade Purity Mirror?"
Su Qingwu was a little hesitant.
"You once said that it would take at least five days to refine this treasure, and by then the spiritual plants in the courtyard would be unable to be taken care of..."
Su Wen smiled again.
"Just the one outside can be handed over to me. Just get some spiritual spring water in advance and keep it in the courtyard. It was because there were two places at the beginning, and it was inconvenient for me to go there."
Hearing this, Su Qingwu nodded and said:
"If that's the case, then there's no problem. I'll go to the Duobao Palace later and exchange for a few top-grade fasting pills."
......
The best fasting pill, one pill costs 35 contribution points. Compared with the healing blood coagulation pill, its value is slightly lower. After taking it, it can keep you from being hungry for nine days.
If you only want to offer sacrifice to the Jade Purity Mirror, you can exchange one.
However, in order to prepare for future emergencies, Su Qingwu went to the Duobao Hall on Lingyue Peak and exchanged a total of six coins.
On her way back, she encountered two disciples who were arguing over something and blocked her way. She swiftly took a detour and avoided unnecessary trouble.
......
After three sticks of incense, we arrived at the bluestone courtyard on Cuimu Peak.
Su Qingwu ran back and forth between the courtyard and the spiritual spring well dozens of times, filled a large water storage tank that already existed in the house, and then put down the bamboo bucket.
"This spiritual spring water is enough to sustain six days of irrigation. I'll trouble you to ask for it when the time comes."
The woman in white beside him took over the conversation with a smile.
"They are all small matters. They are not a big deal at all."
Su Qingwu took out a top-grade Qigong pill and swallowed it. After a moment, he nodded and said, "I'm ready. I can start the magic weapon sacrifice right away."
After she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves and took out the Yuqing Mirror.
Su Wen spoke at the right time: "Because your current cultivation is insufficient, I will help you appropriately during the ritual. Don't resist my soul power at that time, otherwise it will directly lead to the failure of the ritual."
Su Qingwu looked slightly embarrassed and solemnly agreed to this request.
Su Wen continued:
"During the refining period, it is very likely that the spiritual power will not be able to be maintained, so for the sake of insurance, you can use low-grade spiritual stones to set up a small spiritual gathering array to ensure that the spiritual power is continuously replenished."
"I wonder how many spiritual stones it will take?"
"One thousand will do."
Su Qingwu had previously traded the Lingxiao Resurrection Technique with his fellow disciples and received a lot of spirit stones, so he could naturally come up with a thousand.
He just waved his sleeve lightly, and a corresponding number of spirit stones appeared on the side.
Su Wen pinched his hands together and used the art of protecting things. He first lifted the spirit stones into the air, then controlled them to arrange in an orderly manner and drop them to the ground. A small spirit gathering formation was quickly formed.
Su Qingwu was in the middle of it, feeling the rich spiritual energy blowing towards her face, and felt a little surprised.
After a moment, she adjusted her mindset and released her spiritual consciousness, shrouding the palm-sized antique bronze mirror suspended in mid-air.
The Jade Purity Mirror is a top-grade space magic weapon that contains twelve prohibitions.
There is nothing of this caliber or rank in this world that can match it.
If Su Wen had not stayed in the mirror for many years and had not refined this treasure in her previous life and knew it very well, she would not have been sure to help.
Seeing Qingwu begin the ritual, she immediately cast a spell and used her own soul power to help...
......
From morning till night, five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the wooden house, the spiritual spring water that was originally full in the tank has been reduced to a mere smidgen.
Every day at sunrise and sunset, Su Wen would devote a bit of his mind to watering the spiritual plants in the courtyard.
On the fifth night, the Jade Mirror that had been suspended in the air suddenly emitted a blinding green light, instantly enveloping the black-clad girl who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed.
Su Wen looked at this scene and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
After five consecutive days, day and night, the treasure sacrifice was finally successful!
The dazzling green light slowly dissipated, Su Qingwu opened his bright eyes, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
The successful refining of this treasure means that one can enter and exit the inner space freely.
She thought about it and disappeared on the spot with Su Wen.
The next moment, the two of them appeared in an unfamiliar world.
The spiritual energy blowing towards him was more concentrated than that in the spirit gathering array, but all he could see was overgrown weeds.
Su Wen explained softly:
"After my death, the space inside this mirror returned to its original state. I don't know why this happened. Perhaps it's because the mark of recognition disappeared, and the treasure erased all traces of my existence."
Su Qingwu was a little surprised.
"During these years, you lived in the Jade Mirror..."
Su Wen rarely gave a bitter smile.
"After I died, my soul was attracted by this treasure and was able to enter the space, but I couldn't change a single plant or tree here."
"That's right. Now we start all over again. I believe things will get better and better in the future."
Because Wen was unable to do anything, all the weeding and reclamation of the spiritual fields had to be done by Su Qingwu alone.
Looking at the endless, vibrant weeds, an idea came to her mind. She immediately made hand gestures and performed the Lingxiao Resurrection Technique.
A moment later, green light balls emerged from the air.
Su Wen looked at this scene and guessed what she was going to do.
The next moment, the green light ball disappeared along with the two people.
Su Qingwu left the space and quickly came to the courtyard, controlling the light ball to sink into as many spiritual plants as possible.
After doing this, return to space again...
With such frequent trips back and forth, the vitality of the many spiritual plants in the courtyard became more and more vigorous.
Until a certain point, it exceeds the critical point, and the excessive vitality is directly transformed into another form, accelerating the growth of the spiritual plants.
Su Qingwu naturally discovered this and was quite surprised.
However, Su Wen's reaction was more intense, somewhat incredulous.
"Qingwu, I am very sure that Lingxiao Resurrection Technique does not accelerate the growth of spiritual plants. Under normal circumstances, when the vitality of spiritual plants reaches a certain level, they will completely stop growing and will not change like this."
"But the fact is..."
Halfway through the conversation, Su Qingwu heard Lingzhi's thoughts.
"That new companion is really amazing. Without him, we wouldn't be able to absorb this excessive vitality~"
"Yes, yes. I originally thought that life would be difficult with it around. I never thought it would be like this~"
"But... growing too fast is not a good thing for us. Don't forget that once we mature, our consciousness will dissipate~"
"Ah, this day will come sooner or later. The days repeat themselves every day. So be it. It doesn't matter if it comes earlier or later. As long as I can have a better place in my next life, that's enough~"
"I'm so jealous of my new companion. I hope I can be as strong as him in my next life~"
......
At this point, Su Qingwu clearly understood that the accelerated growth of the spiritual plants was all due to the unknown spiritual seed.
Perhaps due to the constant infusion of vitality, the vine, which was originally only an inch long, has grown a lot taller, and branches and leaves have begun to emerge all around it.
After observing for a long time, nothing else was found.
Just as she was about to return to the space, the disciple ID card hanging on her waist suddenly lit up with a white light.
Then, a line of words that seemed to be made of mist slowly appeared in front of me...
