Chapter 61: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road As the protective shields pile up layer by layer,...
As the protective shields were stacked layer by layer, the spiritual power in Wei Mubai's body surged out like a tide, and the condensation of each ray of light consumed a huge amount of spiritual power.
His face grew paler and paler, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, but his eyes remained firm and never wavered.
He was concentrating his attention, fearing any negligence. If he relaxed even a little, the cold and gloomy energy would take the opportunity to enter and cause immeasurable harm to Xu Huinai.
As time went by, Wei Mubai's spiritual power was almost exhausted.
He felt as if his body was being drained away, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain.
However, he couldn't give up. He gritted his teeth and tried hard to maintain the stability of the protective shield.
He also tried to draw spiritual power from the surrounding natural environment, but the existence of the Yin-Yang reversal array made this process extremely difficult.
He had to be careful to avoid the distorted spiritual power so as not to cause harm to himself and Xu Hui.
Despite this, he still did not give up, constantly adjusting his breathing and the flow of spiritual power, trying to find a glimmer of hope within the limit.
Finally, when he had almost exhausted all his spiritual energy, he suddenly felt that the power in Xu Hui's body that resonated with nature was gradually increasing.
This power not only stabilized the protective shield, but also began to nourish his exhausted body.
A warm feeling surged in Wei Mubai's heart. This was Xu Hui protecting him in her own way.
Yes, Xu Hui felt that he was protecting her. While struggling to maintain the small circulation of the Qi, she drew out a bit of spiritual power and fed it back to Wei Mubai through the spiritual power shield around her body.
This process was extremely difficult. I tried it over and over again, and several times I broke my meridians due to improper control.
Fortunately, these spiritual powers contained vitality, and they quickly repaired her meridians and spiritual palace, and became stronger and stronger than before.
So she consciously allowed a little bit of spiritual power to impact her meridians, repairing them after they were broken.
Over and over again, her spiritual veins became stronger and more resilient. Although she suffered terribly in the middle, she also gained great benefits.
Moreover, the protective shield was successfully strengthened, giving back to Wei Mubai!
She was surrounded by layer upon layer of light, forming an indestructible protective layer that completely isolated her from the cold and gloomy aura released by the destructive blood bamboo.
Even though she was in the center of the storm, she could feel the power in her body that resonated with nature surging, as if some mission was calling her.
Xu Hui took a deep breath, closed her eyes and concentrated, putting all her attention into the perception of the surrounding environment.
Her soul seemed to be closely connected with every inch of land and every plant in the Jade Pool. She could feel the desire for growth of the "Immortal Stone Bamboos" and could also perceive the twisted and powerful vitality of the "Blood Bamboo of Destruction".
Suddenly, an unprecedented warm power surged within her body. It was the potential of her innate affinity for plants that was stimulated by the extreme crisis.
This force affects the surrounding plants in an indescribable way.
The "Immortal Carnation" seemed to have received some kind of divine revelation. Under Xu Hui's guidance, it quickly absorbed the spiritual power in the air, grew and matured quickly, and the spiritual stone crystallized into a seed, completing its transformation.
Half of the sky of the entire Biluo Yaochi was filled with this vibrant atmosphere.
On the other side, the "Blood Bamboo of Destruction" is also maturing in a twisted and unique way under the impetus of the Yin-Yang reversal formation.
Their color gradually deepened from the original dark red to a deep blood black, and a strong cold aura emanated from the branches and leaves.
However, under Xu Hui's indirect influence, these blood bamboos did not completely get out of control.
Their growth seemed to be guided by some kind of force. Although they still emitted an aura of destruction, that force was cleverly confined within themselves and did not spread further to the entire Biluo Yaochi.
As time goes by, the blood bamboos gradually mature, but they do not produce seeds like carnations. Instead, they become tougher and more difficult to destroy.
Finally, Xu Hui slowly opened her eyes, fell from mid-air, and was hugged by Wei Mubai, standing steadily on the sword.
Looking at this strange scene, yin and yang flow, the vitality stone bamboo and the destructive blood bamboo coexist harmoniously, balanced and orderly.
Xu Hui felt a great sense of accomplishment. Yes, it was all her credit. She had preserved the reproduction of the Longevity Carnation and also controlled the destructive aura of the Blood Bamboo.
However, all the seeds of the Carnation of Longevity have matured and can no longer be transformed back into the original spirit stone crystals, which means that their purpose of picking carnations on this trip has failed!
"What should I do?" Xu Hui touched her nose embarrassedly and spread her hands helplessly to Wei Mubai.
She really didn't mean it, but as long as there was a dianthus that was not mature, the formation would not be able to stop.
Wei Mubai had already thought about this problem, and he calmed her anxiety in a steady voice, "I'll go collect the blood bamboo later, and you collect the pink bamboo seeds. Take half of them, and plant the remaining half in the ground."
"Let them grow again?" Xu Hui understood that Biluo Yaochi was the only blessed place in the world of cultivation where carnations could grow. It would be really bad to pull them all out, as it would go against the will of heaven.
Although it was not her who did it, if all the seeds were taken away, then she would have to bear the consequences.
But the problem is, "The spiritual power in the spiritual field is almost exhausted," she said distressedly.
Just now, the growth of both the stone bamboo and the blood bamboo was almost crazy. The spiritual power of the spiritual field really couldn't support it. It was almost turned into a completely barren land.
With this little spiritual power, no new carnations can be produced!
"I know," Wei Mubai lowered his head, his voice as calm as water, without any trace of embarrassment, "The Yin-Yang Reversal Formation can turn Yang into Yin, and naturally it can turn Yin into Yang!"
Xu Hui looked up suddenly, "Is this possible?"
Wei Mubai nodded slightly, "In the array formation inheritance of Kuining Zunfa, there is such a transformation method, but..."
"What?" Xu Hui was puzzled.
"Reversing yin and yang requires enormous spiritual support. I may have to rely on you for protection from now on," he said lightly.
Xu Hui instantly understood that there was nothing simple about Venerable Quinine’s formation.
No matter how talented Wei Mubai is, he is only at the Jindan stage and his spiritual power is limited. It is estimated that if he wants to achieve this, he will need to consume a terrifying amount of spiritual power.
Since he didn't have any spiritual power himself, he could only use spirit stones and elixirs to replenish his spiritual power.
However, a smile appeared in Xu Hui's eyes, "No need, I can draw the spiritual power and vitality from the air to help you."
When the carnation matures, it crystallizes into seeds, the bamboo body turns into jade, and a large amount of spiritual power and vitality escapes, all in the air.
She had just touched the threshold of the second level of plant affinity and could utilize the spiritual power and vitality in the air. Although she was not skilled, she could help Wei Mubai in this situation.
So what happened just now was not without benefits. It helped her develop an affinity for plants and even more powerful abilities.
Wei Mubai was stunned when he heard this, "You are indeed gifted."
"This is all thanks to you," Xu Hui replied with a smile.
If he hadn't helped me block the evil spirit, things wouldn't be so simple?
She might turn into a monster that is neither human nor ghost because she absorbs too much negative energy.
Now that they had a solution, the two of them took action immediately.
Wei Mubai went to collect blood bamboo first. This thing does not grow naturally and is rare to find in a thousand years. It also contains pure yin energy and can be used in many situations, so the more the better.
Dianthus seeds are also very rare. In fact, compared with dianthus, the vitality contained in the seeds is purer and their medicinal effect is stronger.
However, the seeds will disappear into the ground the moment they are formed, making them difficult to find. It is not as convenient to collect carnations.
However, due to the Yin-Yang formation, it was controlled at the moment of full maturity, so it was still hanging on the jade bamboo.
Xu Hui stopped after collecting tens of thousands of them. This was enough. One thousand of them could be used for planting, and the rest could be used as medicine, which could be used for a long time.
She used her spiritual power to attack the remaining seeds, and the jade bamboos fell down one by one. The seeds fell to the ground and turned into light and entered the soil.
By the time all the seeds fell to the ground, Wei Mubai had collected enough.
He was light and graceful, floating in the air, with a faint glow surrounding him, like a star descending to the earth. His hands formed seals quickly, and each spell was precise and accurate, hitting every node of the formation.
Xu Hui followed closely behind, her face solemn and focused. She raised her hands gently, her fingertips flashing with soft light, drawing spiritual power and vitality from the air.
She closed her eyes and concentrated, as if she was in tune with Wei Mubai's thoughts. She turned her strength into a trickle, which was continuously transported into Wei Mubai's body, providing him with indispensable assistance.
Under Wei Mubai's control, the Yin-Yang Reversal Formation began to show amazing changes.
The originally stable nodes were reconstructed one by one, and the light shuttled through the magic circle, sometimes colliding violently and bursting out dazzling light; sometimes blending gently, like a long stream of water.
This is not just a change in the magic circle, but also a redistribution and balance of the yin and yang forces between heaven and earth.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Wei Mubai's forehead, but his expression remained unchanged, and each spell he cast became more precise and powerful.
As time went by, the light in the magic circle gradually became harmonious and unified. Under the guidance of the magic circle, the power of yin and yang completed a magnificent reversal from yang to yin and then from yin to yang.
During the entire process, the light emitted by the magic circle became stronger and stronger, and finally converged into a dazzling beam of light, shooting straight into the sky, illuminating the entire world.
After the formation was successful, the thick yin energy contained in the blood-destructive bamboo was continuously drawn out under the guidance of the formation, as if attracted by an invisible vortex, and turned into thin streams that passed through the air and finally gathered in the spiritual field.
The moment these negative energies entered the spiritual field, they were purified by a mysterious force and transformed into pure and abundant spiritual power.
The spiritual field seemed to have finally received a downpour after a long drought, greedily absorbing the spiritual power. The originally slightly dry soil gradually became moist and fertile, and the spiritual power surged through it, forming layers of fine spiritual power mist that enveloped the entire spiritual field.
The spiritual power became more and more abundant, even overflowing from the ridges of the fields, turning into a trickle, flowing on every inch of land in the Biluo Yaochi.
These spiritual powers not only nourish the land, but also stimulate the dormant vitality.
Those carnation seeds scattered in the soil felt the call of spiritual power and broke through the soil one after another, revealing tender green buds.
These new carnations, nourished by spiritual power, are growing at an astonishing speed.
Soon they spread throughout the entire Biluo Yaochi again. Although the number was not as large as before, the greenness and vitality were exactly the same as before.
At the same time, the blood bamboos of destruction that once spread throughout the Biluo Yaochi quickly lost their former ferocity and terror after losing the support of Yin Qi.
The branches and leaves began to wither, the trunks became fragile, and eventually turned into ashes in a breeze and disappeared without a trace.
Xu Hui was delighted and pointed to a certain spot, saying, "Look, that dianthus is almost ripe."
Wei Mubai looked at it carefully and breathed a sigh of relief, "Please."
Xu Hui nodded and rushed over immediately. When the spirit stone crystals matured, she quickly collected them and sent them to Wei Mubai, who stored them in the forbidden space.
The two cooperated well and quickly picked dozens of plants. Xu Hui handed the spoils over again, but found something was wrong. She turned around and saw that Wei Mubai had completely fainted and fell on the magic sword.
She was stunned and quickly put the carnation into the jade box. She rushed over to support him and was about to input spiritual power into him when she heard two very familiar voices.
“Finally got in!”
"Um!"
She felt a chill all over her body. It was Yi Qingxue and that demon boy!
