Shen Yunhao thought Mei Yu'er had come to arrest him, but he didn't expect... judging from her words, she wanted to let him go?
"Tch! You think I'm like that crazy woman Nie Qingshuang, making some kind of agreement that I can't leave until I reach a certain level?"
Mei Yu'er gave a cold laugh.
"..."
Sure enough, any aggressive behavior was directed at Nie Qingshuang.
I don't know what triggered it...
But Shen Yunhao quickly clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Mei Yu'er thought for a moment and said, "Have you considered what problems exist in your current cultivation?"
"A question about spiritual practice?"
Shen Yunhao was slightly taken aback.
Over the years, he had been mainly guided by Zhu Li and Ning Yuyao in his cultivation. It was only when Mei Yu'er suddenly brought it up that he realized that his cultivation seemed to be in a state of "self-taught", and there might be many problems that he had not yet understood.
"This... I know very little, please enlighten me, Auntie..."
"So you're only thinking about those beauties outside, huh?" Mei Yu'er glared at him, annoyed. "I saw your fight with that kid from the Cao family. Normally, humans who haven't specially cultivated their physical bodies are at a significant disadvantage in close combat with demons, especially someone like Cao Lei who has suppressed his cultivation level, making his physical strength far exceed that of an ordinary Soul Condensation Realm cultivator..."
"You were indeed beaten quite badly at the beginning, but you actually became more and more courageous as the battle progressed, and later you held your own in head-on confrontations. I guess... you used some powerful technique?"
Facing Mei Yu'er, Shen Yunhao naturally had no need to hide anything, and nodded in reply, "This junior accidentally obtained a technique called the Seven Wounds Technique in a secret realm..."
After hearing about the effects of the Seven Injury Technique, Mei Yu'er was quite surprised and exclaimed, "In other words, you only need to go in and out of the secret realm for half a month, and you not only broke through from the Profound Soul Realm to the mid-stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, but you also gained quite a few magic weapons and techniques... What incredible luck you have..."
"..."
"This Seven Wounds Technique is based on one's own injuries, and over time it will probably cause irreversible negative effects on the body... However, you have the Vast Ocean Heart with you, which perfectly offsets this effect! Tsk tsk tsk, now I'm even a little envious of you!"
At this point, Mei Yu'er suddenly changed the subject, "However, you have many trump cards to use, but there is still a major problem... Haven't you noticed that your spiritual energy is being consumed very quickly?"
"!!!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because as soon as he did, Shen Yunhao immediately realized what was going on.
If his battle with Cao Lei continues, he will undoubtedly lose!
Not only because the Seven Injury Technique has a time limit, but also because once the time limit expires, Shen Yunhao, whose combat power has dropped, will definitely not be a match for Cao Lei.
The main reason is that... the spiritual energy of Shenyun Haoqi Mansion has been completely exhausted!
On the other hand, even though Cao Lei suffered a serious injury due to his weakness being exploited, his spiritual energy was still abundant.
Even with his cultivation level suppressed, Cao Lei's spiritual energy consumption was much better than Shen Yunhao's.
"This is because... your foundation is simply too weak!"
Mei Yu'er shook her head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are still using the same cultivation method you used when you were refining Qi!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao suddenly realized what was going on.
Guiyuan Breathing Technique!
This is something Ning Yuyao gave him from the very beginning, and he has been using it ever since, without any changes!
As mentioned in this book, the techniques used in the Qi Refining stage can still be used in the Body Refining stage because the Body Refining stage does not have high requirements for the absorption of spiritual energy, and it also requires time and effort to refine the power of the five elements.
Under these conditions, the Guiyuan Breathing Technique is perfectly adequate.
But once you enter the Soul Refining stage, things are completely different.
Whether it's regular cultivation or the use of spells, the requirements for spiritual energy are extremely high.
If he were to use his old cultivation methods, his weak Qi Palace would not be able to withstand the consumption of so many techniques and magic treasures. Without spiritual energy, even if a cultivator has many methods, it is just a facade!
"Young people are too ambitious and always forget that a solid foundation is the most important thing! You have received spiritual energy, and your cultivation has improved quickly, but your foundation is weak, and you will have big problems sooner or later!"
Shen Yunhao took a deep breath, bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "This junior has suddenly gained a lot of cultivation, and for a moment I became complacent. Aunt, you are knowledgeable and experienced, and I hope you can give me some guidance to help me get out of this predicament. This junior will listen attentively."
"Alright, stop flattering me!"
Mei Yu'er raised her hand and flipped it over, taking out a blue crystal scroll and tossing it toward Shen Yunhao.
Shen Yunhao took it and saw that there were no words engraved on it, and it could not be opened at all.
"This is the Vast Ocean Spirit Communication Technique, a cultivation method suitable for aquatic beings. However... since you possess the Heart of the Vast Ocean, you may also give it a try. The effects might be even better than your human cultivation methods!"
Vast and boundless spiritual communication technique?
"But Auntie, this..."
"This scroll is made of soul crystal and can only be viewed with soul power. You can take it now, but remember to return it to me later!"
"oh oh!"
Shen Yunhao's face lit up with joy, "Thank you so much, Auntie, for bestowing this teaching!"
“A high-level cultivation technique alone cannot solve your problem of weak spiritual energy!” Mei Yu’er’s next words dealt another blow to Shen Yunhao, “Without the baptism of some spiritual treasures, it will probably take a long time to replenish your spiritual energy deficiency, which will be quite time-consuming!”
"This... a rare and precious treasure? Auntie, are you referring to rare and precious materials? Could we go to Tianbao to purchase one..."
Mei Yu'er crossed her arms and pouted, "Such treasures are priceless and unavailable on the market. How could you possibly acquire them so easily? But..."
At this point, Mei Yu'er's lips curled into a slight smile, "I heard that there's some kind of spring in the Guanghan Palace, originally used to help those in the Profound Soul Realm break through to the Soul Condensation Realm, but since it's here, it can perfectly solve your problem of unstable spiritual energy..."
"You mean...the path to the underworld..."
"Hey, hey, hey, stop, stop!" Mei Yu'er immediately waved her hand. "I don't know what kind of spring it is. You don't need to tell me. Just go ask that crazy woman... But, given that woman's stinginess, there's no way she'd help you with this. It's really infuriating to compare people like that..."
"Aunt...Aunt..."
Before Shen Yunhao could say anything more, Mei Yu'er had already transformed into a streak of white light and sped off towards the seabed.
"You're really reckless, aren't you? That little girl knows nothing and you still dared to let her go into the sea alone... Get out of here already, I need to go back and deal with Bing'er's lung fog after picking up that girl! She can't even eat the meat that's practically in her mouth, she's really useless..."
"..."
Mei Yu'er disappeared, and Shen Yunhao remained silent.
What she just mentioned was naturally the Spirit Spring of Guanghan Palace, and... she might not believe it, but when Shen Yunhao wanted to break through to the Soul Condensation stage, Ning Yuyao even boasted that she would help Shen Yunhao obtain the qualification to access the Spirit Spring, which almost scared Shen Yunhao half to death.
Unexpectedly, this boomerang, after so long, has finally returned to me...
