Chapter 54 Breakthrough Again
Su Qingwu sensed this change and had no time to be surprised. He quickly circulated the spiritual power in his body, guiding the rich spiritual energy to gather in his dantian.
After about fifty breaths, everything returned to calm.
By responding in time, we can avoid the impact of excessively concentrated spiritual energy, which would cause damage to the meridians.
Recalling the previous changes, she was both surprised and happy.
"Su Wen, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a mutant spiritual plant."
The woman in white beside her nodded slightly and said thoughtfully:
"There must be a reason for the spiritual plant to mutate. Could it be because it has been constantly absorbing the vitality infusion before? Or is it affected by the vine of unknown grade?"
Su Qingwu had a smile on her face.
"Maybe it's a bit of both, but for me, it's a good thing."
The mutated spiritual plant just now greatly increased her spiritual power.
Maybe... once the remaining fifty-five spiritual plants are harvested, my cultivation will be able to break through again.
Thinking of this, Su Qingwu began to continue picking up the spiritual herbs.
As the spiritual plants were pulled out one by one, rich spiritual energy continued to flow into the meridians and slowly gathered in the dantian.
When the last mature Huiling Grass was harvested, the sixth cyclone in Dantian had begun to take shape.
Su Wen concentrated on sensing the state of the people around him, and immediately suggested:
"Qingwu, if possible, go back to the house first, and then take out a thousand spirit stones. I will set up a small spirit gathering formation to assist in breaking through the cultivation level."
"good."
Su Qingwu nodded in agreement, put the Huiling Grass into the storage bag, walked slowly into the house, waved his sleeves lightly, and a thousand spirit stones appeared on the wooden table beside him.
Upon seeing this, Su Wen immediately cast a spell, taking up the spirit stones from a distance and controlling them to arrange in an orderly manner.
A small spirit gathering array was formed in an instant.
Following her signal, Su Qingwu walked into the center of the formation, closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, silently recited the corresponding mantra, and quickly calmed his mind.
As time goes by, more and more spiritual energy is absorbed and gathered in the Dantian.
The sixth cyclone slowly condensed.
If you were watching from the outside, you could clearly see a layer of silky light-white aura lingering around the girl in black, adding a sense of mystery.
About a cup of tea later, the low-grade spirit stones that made up the spirit gathering array suddenly made a series of slight popping sounds.
Su Wen took a closer look and discovered that the originally extremely hard spiritual stones were now turning into powder in batches.
This is due to the depletion of spiritual energy.
Without the spirit stone, the spirit gathering array would naturally disappear slowly.
Almost at the same time, the pressure around Su Qingwu suddenly changed, and his cultivation level broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining in this instant!
After meditating for a while, she slowly opened her eyes, looked at the spirit stone fragments around her, recalled her previous experience of breaking through the realm, and sighed in her heart.
"It is said that the further you advance in your cultivation, the harder it is to break through. I didn't feel this before, but I just experienced it myself. If it weren't for this Spirit Gathering Formation, I wouldn't be able to break through the sixth level of Qi Refining at this moment."
This promotion seems smooth, but it is not.
In Dantian, the sixth cyclone showed two signs of instability during its gradual solidification process.
If there is not enough spiritual energy at that time, it will completely dissipate, and at that time, the realm impact will naturally be declared a failure.
This kind of situation has never been encountered in previous breakthroughs.
Su Qingwu explained this in detail. Su Wen was not surprised after hearing it. He just said in a gentle voice:
"Cultivators strive for immortality and fight against heaven for their lives. As they advance in their realm, the more resistance they encounter, the more obstacles they encounter. Only by overcoming all of these obstacles can they move towards success step by step."
Having said this, she hesitated for a moment and added another sentence.
"Your cultivation has progressed very quickly, so you don't need to worry too much about this matter."
Su Qingwu looked at the person beside him with a gentle gaze and nodded in response:
"I understand. I just spoke my mind. Strictly speaking, I am very lucky. Not long after I joined the sect, I unexpectedly obtained such a treasure. Later, I met you, Su Wen, who often guided me in my cultivation. If not for this, I am afraid I would still be at the first level of Qi Refining."
Su Wen smiled.
"Qingwu also helped me. Since I signed the soul contract with you, my soul is no longer weak, and my strength is recovering day by day."
Hearing her say this, Su Qingwu remembered something and asked softly:
"You mentioned before that if you can find a soul-nourishing tree, your strength will recover faster. Where can you find this soul-nourishing tree?"
"I don't know either." Su Wen shook his head and explained:
"The Soul-Nourishing Tree is something you can only encounter but not seek for. It is nowhere to be found. Whether you can encounter it depends entirely on luck. Qingwu, you don't need to worry about it. I don't have any obsession with this treasure. It would be best if I can encounter it. If not, that's okay."
Su Qingwu continued to ask:
"Besides the Soul-Nourishing Tree, are there any other treasures that can help you practice?"
Su Wen frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"I can't think of anything for now. I'll tell you when I meet you later."
In fact, there are many things that are beneficial to ghost cultivation, but each one is very valuable.
She didn't want to bring any burden to Qingwu, and the current situation was good enough.
Su Qingwu didn't know the inside story. When he heard Su Wen's words, he just smiled and agreed.
After spending many days together, she has come to regard Su Wen as her closest relative. If she encounters something that is beneficial to him in the future, she will do her best to get it for him.
......
The sect stipulates that all outer disciples who have spiritual plants planted in their spiritual fields must report to the steward's office once they are ripe and harvested, and they are not allowed to leave them without permission. Violators will be punished according to the sect's rules.
Although Su Qingwu only harvested fifty-six soul-returning herbs, he still had to go to Ming'an Temple.
When she passed by, the three deacons were all a little surprised.
Deacon Yang was the first to ask:
"Master Su, you just handed over the mission yesterday. What happened when you came here today?"
Su Qingwu bowed to each of the three and replied respectfully:
"The spiritual plants that the disciples planted in the courtyard were eaten by moles, and some were lost. Later, they were replanted, and now those spiritual plants have matured."
Upon hearing this, Du Xinzhi could hardly hide her surprise.
If she remembered correctly, it had been less than five months since the spiritual plants were planted?
Huiling grass matures once a year, how can it be harvested now?
Even if there were magic or fertilizer to speed up maturation, it shouldn't have grown this fast.
However, such matters involved personal secrets, and although she was curious, she did not ask too many questions.
The other two people had similar ideas.
The power of the deacons of Qianzhi Sect is relatively large. Regardless of whether they are from the outer sect or the inner sect, the good or bad character of the deacons will affect the sect to some extent.
Therefore, the assessment of deacons is particularly strict, and they must make a corresponding oath to heaven before taking office.
The three men had served as outer sect stewards for many years and were not treacherous people. Furthermore, they were bound by an oath and would not pry into the secrets of the disciples.
At this moment, Du Xinzhi took the storage bag from the girl, checked it with her consciousness, and said with a smile:
"Although they are all of perfect quality, since the quantity is small, I will count it as 30 Contribution Points. What do you think, Junior Brother Su?"
"Everything is up to Uncle Master to arrange. I have no opinion."
Mutated spiritual plants are very rare, and the three deacons did not notice it for a while.
Su Qingwu didn't care about this matter. There was only one plant anyway, and she had already gained great benefits when she harvested it, so she didn't mention it specifically.
