Chapter 54: Ninth Level of Qi Training

In one year after day and night for alchemy and practicing without rest, she can feel she is ready for breakthrough.

After the purity of the ice and wood spiritual roots was raised to the maximum level, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy during meditation and cultivation was obviously much faster.

  In addition to the original accumulation, after only one hour, her cultivation broke through naturally and was promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The foundation is solid, and there is no need to continue to meditate to consolidate.

As for her spiritual beast, Xiao Hong now can boast that his control over fire is already at level of master. The subsequent alchemy process have a little to no more error again.

Because the magic weapon could not be refined for the time being, she looked at it for a while and then put it back into the space.

Before she focused on building a foundation and establishing a path, she needs to solve the matter of the Seven Emotions Yin Yang Secret first, or her ear will become callous hearing the urgent reminder from Peach Blossom Fairy every day.

Xia Jinxi waved her hand and lift the restrictions of her cave, walking to the cave on the mountainside, she remembered what her master said. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped onto the micro-transmission array in the cave. If there's one person she need to ask about the difficulty, it's certainly her master.

  A flash of light passed by, and the figure disappeared from the spot.

  When she appeared again, she was in front of Yunhua Yuanjun's cave.

  Perhaps sensing her disciple's arrival, the door of the cave was already open, and there were no restrictions.

  Xia Jinxi did not rush in. She first bowed to the door of the cave, and then respectfully said: "Master, Jinxi come here for consulting her worries about practice."

As soon as the words fell, a gentle voice came from inside, "Come in first"

Xia Jinxi responded respectfully and walked into the cave.

  The decoration inside the cave was simple and elegant. Yunhua Yuanjun sat cross-legged on the futon, and the aura of pure rhyme surrounded her body.

Before she said anything, Xia Jinxi kneel down with guilty look first "Master, Jinxi have done something wrong"

Yunhua Yuanjun's gentle face has a little suprise, not understanding, "You stand up first, and tell me the cause of this"

Xia Jinxi dare not disobey, and recite the story of her getting Seven Emotions Yin Yang Secret exercise, everything, excluding the space. In the end she said, "Master, I swear demonic oath what I tell is the truth. At that time I was naive and overestimate myself, but by the time I realized it, my spiritual roots already change and if I stop this exercise, it will lead to abolishment of my spiritual roots and crippled. Master, please forgive Jinxi."

Time stand still at this moment, when Xia Jinxi can't stand the silent pressure, Yunhua Yuanjun said, "Having said that, it seems you already made a decision on your heart. Please state your mind first"

Xia Jinxi startled by being seen through, but she was determined and stating her plan, "Master, even though this is a disaster for me but it also opportunity, what Jinxi need to avoid is to lose initiative in this, that's why Jinxi want to use 'Contract of Equivalent Price', exchanged with contribution points to make a deal with the other party. Give and take, it'll become ordinary transaction."

Contract of Equivalent Price is famous contract in the world of immortality, using heaven as a judge to conclude the fair trade and the initiator can state one of their condition, and if the opposite agree, they can't betrayed the condition, can be exchanged for 150 contribution points.

Yunhua Yuanjun chuckled gently, "I think I pick two interesting disciple, the oldest is the most worry-free and the youngest is the most worry-some.. 'just ordinary transaction'? It's really the refreshing way of saying it"

Xia Jinxi was at loss when her master laughing at her, unable to tell what master mean.

"It's interesting plan, but you overlook the most important thing, how can you find the peerless talented man who want to do the transaction? Literally, people like them will be supported by the powerful and not lack anything" Yunhua Yuanjun pointed.

"Oh, if it's that, Jinxi already find the loopholes in this. This condition of this exercise is man born as peerless talented man, so even if they are now useless even crippled, it's still counted", Xia Jinxi said proudly

"There really a loopholes. Then master will help you to perfect your plan. Master will go to Gua Peak to ask Peak Master Ouyang for divination for the people who'll do the transaction, there's six, right?"

Xia Jinxi didn't know why, when master Yunhua Yuanjun state the number of people, she blushed and say "Yes"

Yunhua Yuanjun chuckled again and asked her out, "Okay, master will do the preparation for you. For now you need to read classic to prepare establishing way"

When she come out, she was still in daze, she didn't expect it will be that smooth. She already prepared for the worst, like that her exercise be regarded as evil way and she'll be eliminated.

Xia Jinxi remembered the last word Yunhua Yuanjun said "Jinxi, the exercise is just a mean to obtain strength, as long as you don't do harm to the world and people, master will not care, so don't feel inferior and embarrassed. After this difficulty, you will earn the strength you want"

At that time, after hearing it she seems to want to cry as Master Yunhua Yuanjun is the only one she dares to confide on, she can only held her tears by biting her lips and bow her head deeply to her master and recite in her mind that she'll repay her master well, no matter how difficult it is.

Master is right, she will work harder.

  At this moment, the morning glow was rising outside. Xia Jinxi intended to go to Yuquan Hall to read the classics.

  After a cup of tea, Xia Jinxi came to the Jade Spring Hall. This hall had only one floor, but it occupied a large area.

  The door of the hall was wide open, but it was not unobstructed. There was a restriction in front of the door.

  She took out the lotus leaf jade pendant and was able to pass through immediately. She stepped into the hall, and a powerful divine sense swept over in an instant, disappearing in just a moment.

  Yunhua Yuanjun once mentioned that there was an elder named Wang in the Return to Void Stage in the Jade Spring Hall. Xia Jinxi guessed that the owner of this divine sense just now was this elder Wang.

  There were rows of rosewood shelves in the hall, and the end could not be seen with the naked eye.

  There were text labels engraved on the side of each row of wooden shelves.

  Xia Jinxi looked at the rows of killing swords, the extreme swords, the beast control, the reincarnation, the soul, and the piano.

  There are three thousand great ways, and each row of wooden shelves is exclusive to one of them.

Xia Jinxi went to the many wooden racks. When she was in Yanlan Cave Heaven, she heard from anecdotes mention the four paths established by the founder of the sect, and she was very interested in the soul path. It is still the same now.

  The wooden rack dedicated to the soul path is in the fifth row. There are not many jade slips displayed on it, a total of 32.

  It can be seen that there are very few cultivators who enter the soul path.

  She came to the side, picked up one of them, and explored the soul path of spiritual consciousness. When fighting against the enemy, she only use spiritual consciousness to attack and kill people invisibly.

  But this path has a disadvantage. If the strength of one's own spiritual consciousness is not as strong as the enemy's when attacking the enemy, it will be backfired. At the least, the spiritual consciousness will be damaged, and at the worst, it will become dementia or even die on the spot.

  For this reason, soul cultivators will basically use other methods to confirm before killing the enemy.

  If the enemy's spiritual consciousness is not as good as your own, then you can kill him with one strike; if the enemy's spiritual consciousness is stronger than your own, this method cannot be used.

  It is worth mentioning that because soul cultivators specialize in spiritual consciousness, their spiritual consciousness is much stronger than that of cultivators at the same level.

  Taking the foundation-building period as an example, the spiritual consciousness of soul cultivators in the early stage of foundation-building is almost comparable to that of ordinary cultivators in the late stage of foundation-building or even in the perfect stage of foundation-building.

  A few extremely powerful ones can even have spiritual consciousness stronger than that of cultivators in the early stage of golden elixir.

  Therefore, it is not difficult for soul cultivators to kill enemies across levels.

  In addition to these, the senior who left the jade slip also recorded some of his own insights when he entered the soul path.

  Xia Jinxi read it carefully, put the jade slip back in place, took out the second one and continued to check it.

  After two incense sticks, all 32 jade slips on the wooden rack of the soul path were checked. Xia Jinxi summarized several methods to enhance spiritual consciousness.

  First, take natural materials and treasures that can enhance spiritual consciousness. Before in Yanlan Cave Heaven, the two earth core fruits she ate had the effect of enhancing spiritual consciousness. In fact she collect it's seeds and already been planted in space, although it'll be a long time to produce fruit, but she'll have surplus of this fruit in the future.

  Secondly, practicing the seals that can enhance the consciousness, there are five types listed in the jade slips, all of which are available in all sects and can be exchanged with contribution points.

  Thirdly, when you are meditating and practicing, you can try to actively split the consciousness. Each time the consciousness is split, it will be slightly stronger than before after restoration.

  However, this method is extremely painful, and the pain of splitting the consciousness is unbearable. If you want to make a comparison, it is worse than the punishment of slow slicing.

  Among soul cultivators, unless they have great willpower, they will not try the third method.
