Mi Li sighed softly, "I know this item is extremely rare and most likely can't be found. I'll spend this time in seclusion researching it to see if there are any other ways to heal the injuries to my soul."
Hearing her downcast tone, Zu An was overwhelmed with emotion and blurted out, "Don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, I'll do my best to help you find it!"
Mi Li has helped him so much; the two are nominally master and disciple, but in reality, they are like siblings. How could he just sit idly by?
"Thank you so much." Mi Li smiled, her tone clearly indicating that she didn't quite believe Zu An could find this medicine. After all, such a thing was extremely rare, and even the emperor might not be able to find it.
Sensing the dismissive tone in her voice, Zu'an said nothing, but simply memorized the name of the Purple Frost Divine Milk.
"By the way, you seemed to be struggling with the breakthrough just now?" Mi Li's voice rang out again.
“That’s right, it seems we’ve been stuck in this realm for a long time now…” Zu’an told her about his problems with cultivation.
Mi Li replied, "Generally, cultivators accumulate vital energy little by little through years of cultivation. If they have formations and spirit stones to help them, the effect will be much better. You can use the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique to quickly absorb the cultivation of others to advance quickly, but I don't recommend you do that. That will make your foundation unstable. It's better to cultivate and temper your internal cultivation little by little on your own."
Zu An asked curiously, "The 'Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique' is a cultivation method on par with the 'Phoenix Nirvana Scripture,' so theoretically it shouldn't have such a big hidden danger, right?"
This isn't the Star Absorbing Technique, so how could it have such a big flaw?
Mi Li replied, “The universe has yin and yang, and everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The power of the Taotie Devouring Heaven Technique lies in its speed of mastery, but this speed can also lead to an unstable foundation. The reason why the Shang kings of all dynasties could cultivate this technique without any problems is that their improvement was gradual, and they had enough time to refine and absorb the power of others.”
"But you possess three extraordinary skills and have had one fortuitous encounter after another, so your cultivation speed has increased too fast. At such a young age, you are already close to the peak of the ninth rank. I'm afraid no one in history can compare to you. If your emperor hadn't thought that you had inherited Old Man Mi's cultivation and cut off your own foundation for future advancement, he probably would have killed you long ago out of fear."
Zu An felt a chill run down his spine. Now, besides Mi Li, only the Emperor knew his true cultivation level. Others had their own guesses about his cultivation, but because he had the "Mirror of Truth" and the sachet provided by Consort Bai to conceal it, their guesses were far from the truth.
"What should I do next? I can't just go and get beaten up, can I? With my current cultivation level, even if I go and get beaten up every day, my improvement will probably be very limited."
Mi Li replied, "Don't keep thinking that the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture improves cultivation by being beaten. That's just old man Mi's shallow understanding leading him astray. In the end, the improvement of the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture is achieved step by step by the cultivator constantly breaking through his own limits in battle. The more dangerous the battle, the more severe the injuries, and the stronger the cultivator becomes after recovery."
Zuan scoffed, "Isn't that still just getting beaten up..."
Mi Li: "..."
She ignored what the other person said and continued, "You will most likely encounter danger on your trip to Yunzhong County. That will be your opportunity to accumulate experience and improve. However, breaking through to the Grandmaster level is not so easy. It often requires the assistance of rare and precious treasures or the tempering of the body by the abundant spiritual energy of certain blessed lands and grotto-heavens. Those things are rare and hard to come by. I will explain them to you in detail when the time comes."
"So now I'm just refining my internal cultivation and building a solid foundation?" Zu An frowned slightly. In fact, he had tried to refine his cultivation during this period, but the progress was minimal. He was afraid that if he continued to practice, there would be no significant effect.
“I’m telling you this because I don’t want you to take shortcuts by relying on the ‘Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique’ to break through. In your current situation, it’s more suitable to temper your soul. Take this opportunity to temper your internal energy at the same time, and the effect should be better,” Mi Li replied.
Zuan was taken aback: "Isn't tempering the soul something that only Grandmasters can do? Am I too early for this?"
“With your current cultivation level, you won’t be at too much of a disadvantage against a low-level Grandmaster. The only thing you lack is the methods for cultivating your soul. Your circumstances are different from others. If it were other cultivators, their physical strength would easily collapse if they tried to temper their soul before a Grandmaster, but you don’t have this problem,” Mi Li explained.
Zuan was overjoyed: "Then I wonder how to temper one's soul."
“Meditate, relax your whole body, feel the energy of heaven and earth. First, imagine making your spiritual power materialize. Don’t use your eyes or your vital energy, but use your spiritual power to feel everything around you. Try to touch them. One day, when you can use your spiritual power to move some small objects slightly, you will have entered the first stage.” Mi Li explained as she spoke. “I will first teach you a mantra that can help you train your spiritual power. After you have entered the first stage, I will teach you the specific methods to temper your soul.”
"Thank you, Sister... Master!" Zu An was overjoyed. If spiritual power could be materialized, wouldn't he be able to touch many things remotely in the future?
As if guessing what he was thinking, Mi Li's warning voice came: "By the way, I have to remind you of something. At the beginning, your mental strength is still very weak. Do not try to touch living things. Otherwise, if the other party has any extreme reaction, at best your mental strength will be greatly damaged, and at worst you will become an idiot."
Zuan was shocked: "That terrifying?"
"Of course, one must not rush the cultivation of spiritual power, otherwise it is easy to perish both body and soul." Mi Li's voice gradually weakened again.
Zu An realized that the other party must have suffered a great deal of damage from being in a soul form and talking to him for so long. He hurriedly said, "By the way, I just remembered that I have cultivated the second half of the 'Primordial Chaos Scripture,' which can heal other people's injuries. I wonder if it can repair your damaged soul?"
