Xue Huan naturally wouldn't refuse.
She also needed the help of the earth-walking talisman to walk freely among the rocks, but Xuan Ling could sink directly into the ground without the help of any external objects.
The Earth talisman is naturally far inferior to the Five Elements Beads, but in front of Xuan Ling, she didn't want to take out the Five Elements Beads to attract his attention.
After following the small stone down for about ten minutes, a sparkling purple star stone mine appeared before her.
There are holes in the vein, some large and some small, and the walls of the holes are inlaid with exposed purple star stones, which are extremely shining. Even though it is located deep in the mountains, it does not seem dim at all. Instead, it seems as if countless lights are lit.
Xue Huan felt like she had walked into a fairy tale world filled with purple stars.
Purple Star Stone itself has the function of calming the mind, and when so many of them are gathered together, the effect is even more significant. Xue Huan felt that her heart had become quieter than ever before, and her mind became clear and bright in an instant.
She subconsciously sat down cross-legged and began to practice.
In this state, her cultivation became more natural and smooth than ever before, and a large amount of spiritual energy rushed towards her.
However, her refining speed could not keep up for a while, so the spiritual energy condensed around her body, forming a spiritual energy cocoon that wrapped her up.
Little Stone tilted his head, a little confused.
Xuan Ling set up a barrier for Xue Huan to prevent her cultivation from being disturbed, and then took Xiao Shitou to mine purple star stones in the mine.
He remembered that the little girl had told him that her storage bag was filled with delicious food, and when she finished her training, he would exchange those purple star stones with her.
Although Xue Huan needs to practice the "Nirvana Sutra" nine times for each realm, it is obviously much more troublesome than other cultivators who only need to practice a realm once and then advance to the next realm after perfection.
But there is one advantage, that is, she will not encounter any bottlenecks in practicing this technique. As long as she accumulates enough spiritual power, she will naturally reach the next stage.
Although others only need to practice once, they may get stuck when they encounter a bottleneck.
In comparison, she still prefers the technique she practices.
The piece of jade that Xuan Ling had fed her before had not yet fully exerted its medicinal effect, and part of it had settled in her body. Now, under her refining, that part of the medicinal effect was fully exerted, transformed into spiritual power, and flowed into her dantian.
Xue Huan's level continued to rise, from the first level to the second level... until the ninth level, the great perfection, when the medicinal power was completely refined.
A new round of training began. Her level of cultivation improved from perfect foundation building to the initial stage of foundation building. Although her realm had regressed, the spiritual power in her dantian continued to increase, and her meridians were also widened through repeated training.
In the end, Xue Huan's realm stopped at the second level of foundation building in the third round.
By the time she opened her eyes and finished her training, half a month had passed.
The cave where she was was still sparkling with stars, even brighter than before, because Xuan Ling and Xiao Shitou had worked together to dig up all the purple star stones from other places and piled them up into several small hills.
Moreover, the pieces dug by both of them were of the best quality and required almost no processing. They were beautiful and shining enough in themselves.
If these purple star stones were taken out, I'm afraid they would cause the female cultivators to scramble for them.
"Put these stones away and let's go up."
Xue Huan was surprised: "You mean all these Purple Star Stones belong to me? You don't want them?"
Xuan Ling tucked his hands into his wide sleeves and leaned lazily against the cave wall. His blood-red eyes reflected countless stars, shining brightly, more dazzling and charming than the most translucent purple star stone.
"What do I need those broken rocks for? Come on, I'm hungry. Didn't you say you'd make me more delicious food once we get out of the valley?"
Xue Huan held his forehead with his hand. It seemed that these beautiful and valuable gems were just broken stones in his eyes. However, it was understandable. After all, although he could transform into a human, he was essentially a monster, and his aesthetic taste was fundamentally different from that of humans.
Since he doesn't want it, she won't be polite.
Xue Huan waved her hand, and the pile of purple star stones on the ground disappeared. She waved her hand again, and another pile disappeared.
As for the remaining minerals in the veins that have not been mined, let them continue to grow in the mountains. We can't mine them all at once.
The three of them did not return to the top of the mountain, but went straight out of the mountain and had a sumptuous picnic in a flat and open area.
After eating, he came out of the mountain and headed towards Lingyao City.
Just as Xue Huan was about to take out the dragon boat, Xuan Ling transformed back into his original form—a winged black tiger that was at least 20 to 30 meters long. Although it was covered in black fur, it exuded an indescribable majesty and dominance. "Get in."
Since Xuan Ling was willing to give her a ride, she wouldn't hesitate.
He carried me out while I was unconscious. I don’t know what it feels like to sit on the back of a monster.
Xue Huan stuffed the small stone into the treasure bag, climbed onto Xuan Ling's back, sat close to his neck, and grabbed the long hair on his back, afraid that he would fall if he was not stable.
But it turned out that she was worrying too much, because he flew very steadily and not very fast, and the wind blowing from all sides did not cause her any trouble at all.
After all, the spiritual world is not very big, and Xuan Ling only flew for four or five minutes. Before Xue Huan could enjoy the ride to her heart's content, they arrived above Lingyao City.
Flying over Lingyao City is prohibited unless it is an emergency or you have special privileges.
Xuan Ling was obviously not among them. He even couldn't let others discover him, so he used illusion.
He landed in a forest outside the city. Xue Huan reluctantly let go of his fluffy, soft fur and slid off him. "Thank you."
Xuan Ling did not transform into a human form, but folded his wings, turned into a normal-sized black cat, and jumped into her arms.
Xue Huan was startled and caught him in a panic.
"Let's go into the city."
"Will you come into town with me?"
"What else?" Xuan Ling's blood-red eyes, which seemed round and round after he turned into a cat, glanced at her sideways, as if he thought she was asking a nonsense question.
Xue Huan: “…”
She had thought they would go their separate ways after coming out of the valley.
But it’s not bad to have this big guy around.
"Are you planning to stay with me after we get into the city?" Xue Huan stroked him quietly. Since he had already come to her arms, how could she let him go?
Oh, this feeling is really intoxicating.
Xuan Ling narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, and even a gurgling sound escaped from his throat, "Well, I haven't eaten enough of the food you cooked."
This means that he won't leave until he gets tired of the food she cooks.
Xue Huan was of course welcome to it, but, "Then I have to make three rules with you."
"you say."
"First, you can't just change back to your original form and scare others."
"OK."
"Second, you can't hurt people at will."
"No problem." As long as no one bothers him, he doesn't bother with those humans.
"Third, if I encounter a strong enemy, I hope you can help me."
"Of course."
"Well, it's settled then."
Xue Huan held the cat and the little stone man and walked towards the city gate a few hundred meters away.
