Even so, how to refine it seems to be a new problem, since the spiritual energy has already been depleted.
"Let's do it. We still need to build a house for Yun'er," Sui Xin thought to himself. As if he had made up his mind, golden flames emerged from his Qi Sea, instantly engulfing the sword intent, including the primordial spirit.
Sui Xin was also burning up and shivering, her face was pale, and her brows were furrowed tightly.
If he hadn't been mentally prepared beforehand, he felt he would have screamed out loud.
However, it happened much faster than expected. Within a few breaths, the sword intent lost its sharpness and turned into a stream of air that entered the dantian.
This is why it can increase attack power. Under the influence of a large amount of sword intent, spiritual energy will take on a sharp edge, affecting cultivators imperceptibly.
"Phew," he exhaled and opened his eyes.
The chubby kids are still trying, but their expressions don't seem optimistic.
Looking further to the side, I saw that Xi Yun was also trying, but she seemed to be under no pressure. There was no pain on her face, and her surface glowed with a light, ethereal quality, as if she were out of place with her surroundings.
This was the first time he had seen Xi Yun's cultivation since she reached the Divine Realm, and he was momentarily stunned, staring intently.
The current Xi Yun is completely different from before. She has an unfathomable and mysterious aura, like a fairy descending to earth, untouched by the world's dust.
After a while, Xi Yun opened her eyes. She seemed to be in a good mood, as the process of refining the sword intent was much simpler than she had imagined.
I don't know what that gas inside my body is, but it seems quite useful.
Xi Yun turned her head and found Sui Xin staring at her, so she immediately got up and walked towards him.
There weren't many bamboo trees, only one every four or five meters, and the two of them were some distance apart.
"How are you feeling?" Sui Xin asked softly as Xi Yun walked over.
"It's alright," Xi Yun said as she sat down by Sui Xin. "It doesn't seem too difficult, it's just quite time-consuming."
"That's good," Sui Xin said with a smile.
They arrived at the Sword Sect in the afternoon, made some quick arrangements, and then began their cultivation.
It's almost evening now.
It took Sui Xin almost three hours to refine just that one bamboo, and Xi Yun was about the same, just a little faster than Sui Xin.
Although she didn't experience much pain, it still took her a considerable amount of time.
Bamboo is very ordinary; apart from being a bit tougher, it's no different from any other pillar in the world.
Building a bamboo house would require about thirty or forty bamboo poles, and at this rate, it would be difficult to complete in less than ten days.
Thinking about this, Sui Xin felt that things were going too slowly; spending every day in the wilderness wasn't a solution.
Then he started calculating how long it would take him to finish if he exerted his maximum effort.
Just one per hour.
If we use the True Phoenix Technique to refine it directly from the beginning, we might be able to refine one in less than an hour. Let's calculate based on that speed first.
There are seven of them in total. Each person has thirty bamboos, which is 210 bamboos. If Xi Yun and the little fat boy could also refine some, let's say 100 bamboos. If they don't eat, drink, or rest, it would only take about four days.
It seems alright.
As he stroked his chin, pondering, his spiritual energy gradually recovered, and his spirit also returned to normal.
"Yun'er, I'll refine a few more," Sui Xin said.
"Hmm, don't be too reckless," Xi Yun cautioned, afraid he might do something rash.
He nodded casually, walked to another bamboo stalk, sat down, and began refining it.
Xi Yun wasn't idle either; she sat down not far from Sui Xin and picked one out as well.
As the sword intent entered his body, a familiar sense of devastation washed over him. Sui Xin appeared to offer no resistance, letting it run rampant; in reality, he was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the sword intent to reach his Qi Sea so he could capture it directly with his Yuan Shen Net.
Only there could he be most confident, since it was the source of his power.
Before long, the sword intent arrived at the Qi Sea. Before it could fly far, a thin thread grabbed its tail, then a second, a third... more than ten golden threads tightly wrapped around it, like a small golden cocoon.
Even so, the sword intent did not surrender, continuing to pierce the golden thread.
Perhaps because the sword intent had not yet been exhausted, even Sui Xin was hurt by the stabs, as if someone was constantly stabbing his primordial spirit with considerable force.
There was no time to worry about anything else now, so they started burning it directly. Flames rose from below, covering the sword intent and the threads of the primordial spirit.
Even though he had already experienced it twice, Sui Xin still felt terrible. He kept cheering himself up and praying that his sword intent would be burned away in the next moment.
The gold thread sizzled as if it were cracking, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing wrong with it.
Fifteen minutes, half an hour, an hour, and finally it dissipated.
He collapsed to the ground, his eyes lifeless.
I thought to myself that I would never do that again; the pain was simply unbearable.
It's almost eight o'clock now. Sui Xin took out his token, wanting to inform Elder Long that he probably wouldn't be going to see him for the next few days.
A drop of blood was placed on it, but nothing happened.
Well, he can't worry about that now. Maybe he's busy.
As night fell, the temperature gradually dropped. For some reason, the surrounding air seemed to be filled with a bone-chilling cold, yet my palms remained warm.
Unable to figure it out, he glanced at Xiyun and the chubby boy, but continued anyway.
...
Inside the bamboo house, Jianjun was dumbfounded, sitting on the bed, showing no intention of sleeping.
"What's going on with that kid?" Jian Jun wondered to himself, wondering what Sui Xin had done to refine it so quickly.
Originally, he planned that this mission would last about a month, giving them a chance to experience the unique aspects of the Sword Sect before proceeding with other missions.
