The chubby boy secretly glanced at Fei Rong, just as Fei Rong had also looked over. Their eyes met, and the chubby boy quickly dodged away and moved to the side.
They greeted each other, ate something, and then began their respective refining processes, still far from their goal.
Although the process was indeed very painful, they were not ordinary people. To achieve extraordinary success, one needs extraordinary willpower.
It takes the little fat guy and his friends about four hours to refine a bamboo, while it takes Sui Xin and Xi Yun about two hours each.
The main problem for the chubby guy and his friends is that they don't have suitable cultivation techniques. Even if they manage to trap the sword intent, it will take a long time to refine it, and their mental strength is not as good as Sui Xin's, so it will naturally take longer.
On the other hand, Xi Yun probably has the most martial arts techniques among those present. No one knows if it was left behind by that woman or what, but she has already learned more than ten kinds, and each one is extraordinary, completely incomparable to the Three Fist Techniques.
In addition, due to the baptism of chaotic energy, his physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, and both his Qi Sea and meridians are extremely resilient.
The second chapter of the Heavenly Maiden Scripture has also been unlocked. It is still an auxiliary type and can greatly enhance the skill, making it very practical.
...
As the sun rose in the east and set in the west, and it got completely dark, everyone finished their day's cultivation. They were all exhausted, as if their spirits had been completely drained.
However, the gains were not small either; the chubby boy and Fei Rong broke through to the third level of True Essence.
That sword intent contained a massive amount of spiritual energy, which could improve one's cultivation level while being refined, offering numerous benefits.
The others are close too; they should be able to break through in a few days.
There's still no sign of progress with Sui Xin. It seems that after advancing, the demand for spiritual energy has increased, and the spiritual energy beads obtained from Tianxu Mountain have almost been used up.
Sui Xin sighed. Breakthrough could only be achieved through his own slow accumulation. He didn't know how long it would take to break through this time.
In addition, the method of refining with mental energy is also very beneficial to mental energy. Although you may not feel it for a while, your mental energy will gradually increase slowly and steadily.
Seeing everyone exhausted and collapsed on the ground, Sui Xin suddenly remembered something, took out some purple pills from her storage bag, and distributed them to everyone. "These are first-tier Awakening Pills, which have the effect of refreshing the mind and helping everyone relieve mental fatigue."
Without saying much, the group swallowed the pills. Although the effects of the first-tier pills were not very noticeable to them, it was better than nothing.
"I only trained three sticks in one day, and I still have more than ten days of hardship to endure," the chubby boy complained. Even he was finding it hard to withstand the high-intensity training every day.
After more than ten hours of cultivation, the chubby boy and the others had refined three roots, while Sui Xin and Xi Yun had each refined six roots.
"That's true, but the gains were considerable," Lu Cheng said, still with that cold expression, which everyone was used to.
That's true.
Xi Yun leaned on Sui Xin's shoulder, looking somewhat exhausted, and remained silent.
Suddenly, Sui Xin trembled and immediately became alert.
The aftereffects are starting; it seems like it happened around this time yesterday too.
The two exchanged a glance. Upon closer inspection, Sui Xin's expression showed some struggle, but she managed to keep her composure so that the chubby boy and the others wouldn't notice.
They're already exhausted from their daily cultivation, and we don't want them to worry.
"Everyone, let's rest first. Suixin and I are going out for a bit," Xiyun said hastily, then pulled Suixin and ran towards the cave from last night.
No one was that suspicious; they just felt something was slightly off, but didn't think about it in depth.
Sui Xin stumbled along the way, and if Xi Yun hadn't been supporting her, she might have fallen.
A series of panting sounds rang out. Sui Xin tapped her head with one hand, while Xi Yun led her with the other, and they finally arrived at the cave.
Once there, Suixin could no longer hold back and began to wail in pain. She had thought she would gradually get used to the pain, but it seemed that wasn't the case; the pain persisted.
Xi Yun used spiritual energy threads to bind Sui Xin to prevent him from wandering around, while she hugged him from behind, her face full of worry.
Watching Sui Xin struggle and hearing his screams, Xi Yun couldn't stop the tears from flowing. She couldn't hold back any longer and raised her hand to use her sense-separation technique to help alleviate Sui Xin's pain.
Seeing Xi Yun's actions in a daze, Sui Xin regained some of her senses and quickly stopped her, saying with difficulty, "Yun'er, don't... I can... do it."
Afterward, he gradually calmed down at a visible speed, and his voice and struggles became less abrupt, but his violently trembling body indicated that the pain had not lessened.
He didn't want Xiyun to worry too much.
Moreover, in the process of tearing things apart, he seemed to find an inspiration, though he didn't know what that feeling was like.
If the primordial spirit was never actually torn apart, then where did the pain come from? What exactly are the so-called aftereffects?
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the primordial spirit was indeed growing at an extremely slow rate.
But didn't Elder Long say that damage to the primordial spirit is difficult to repair?
Or perhaps the Original Scripture truly can even repair the primordial spirit?
Regular cultivation can also increase mental strength or the amount of primordial spirit, but the severed part cannot be fully restored.
It's like a pond; even if you widen it, the higher ground will still be dry. But unlike a pond, as the total volume increases, the empty areas will also rise.
In other words, no matter how much his mental strength increases, that one-sixth will always be empty until it is repaired.
As for what exactly happened, Suixin doesn't know either. Maybe she can ask Elder Long when she has time.
