Chapter 30: Daily Practice

Today Uncle Lin delivered nine tied up Fire Kites for her "Fire Wheel Ring" practice.

"Thank you for trouble, Uncle Lin. Will it disturb your practice?"

"No, I'm in the late Jindan stage now. It's unlikely that I can advance to Yuanying without a great opportunity, so I have plenty of time. Yun Shang, you can come to me if you have anything."

"Uncle Lin, don't worry. Isn't Master trying to find a solution for you? When my cultivation level is higher in the future, maybe I can help you a little."

"Haha, then I'll wait. You have to practice well."

"Ok, I will."

While the nine Fire Kites in the space were still tied, Yun Shang raised her sword and slashed, and the ring-shaped skulls of the nine Fire Kites floated in the air. Yun Shang pinched her fingers and intertwined them. The nine ring-shaped skulls surrounded Yun Shang, emitting a faint red light.

While waiting, Yun Shang enter spiritual spring for healing in case.

After about a quarter of an hour, the nine ring-shaped skulls shattered one after another, revealing the slender blood marrow inside.

She guided the blood marrow into her body, and the powerful energy merged with her own fire spiritual power. Her body seemed to be torn apart, her skin was red, and she was steaming like a cooked shrimp.

Yun Shang felt her body getting hotter and hotter, as if she was soaking in magma, and the water from the spiritual spring suddenly enter her body to repair the injured veins.

Just like this, near the boundary of twelve hours, she finally succeeded in practicing the Fire Wheel Ring. Little did she know that under the interaction of blood marrow and spiritual water, her meridians had far surpassed those of ordinary cultivators.

Eager to see the power of the fire wheel ring. She mobilized the fire spirit power in her body, and her blood marrow formed a circle with the fire spirit power and wrapped around her body, forming a defense ring. The burning fire ring could be felt from a distance of several meters, and it was even stronger than the power of the secret technique. Just when she wanted to take back the fire wheel ring, the remaining blood marrow in her body actually rushed out of her body with the fire spirit power. Nine fire rings flew in the air, collided with each other, and gradually merged and intertwined to form a flower. The flower slowly fell in front of Yun Shang. It was a Lycoris radiata, the flower of the underworld.

　　She touched it slowly, but didn't feel any burning sensation. She could only temporarily withdraw her spiritual power. The red spider lily also disappeared from her sight.

Yun Shang condensed the fire spiritual power in his hands. A red spider lily appeared in his hands. The flower stem and petals were formed by the intertwining of blood and marrow, and the fire spiritual power was wrapped around the outside. This was completely different from the secret technique of the fire wheel ring he had obtained.

　　Yun Shang took out the jade slip of the Fire Wheel Ring and compared it with the spell, and found that the Fire Wheel Ring was just a random illusion created by the person who created the secret technique. Since the Fiery Kites were not easy to find and their numbers were rare, few people could practice it. As for why it turned into Lycoris radiata, the reason was unknown.

　　No matter what the reason, Yun Shang began to study this flower with great concentration. She threw the red spider lily into the air, injected spiritual power into it and activated the magic formula. The flower instantly grew more than ten times larger, surrounding Yun Shang inside.

　　Looking at the amazing defensive power, Yun Shang was extremely excited, thinking that she now had one more bargaining chip.

From then on she began her training mode. First she need to practice all of technique she had, then she activate formation in her cave and entered her space.

Thinking of technique, she remembered she had Wood-type Heart Method "Brahma Lotus Heart Sutra" that she never practice.

Afraid there's something wrong, she entered spiritual spring, and starting practice.

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she felt her consciousness being drawn into a void and changing realm.

  A thousand feet of golden light suddenly burst out from the white space, and countless scriptures composed of strange characters rose from all around her, constantly jumping and changing, and then they all made syllables she had never heard before, some crisp, some low, like the sound of an ancient temple bell, like a special sound, clear and majestic, shocking.

  These syllables invaded Yun Shang's soul domineeringly. She felt a headache, as if her soul was torn into pieces, and as if someone was gently soothing her... The two extreme feelings made her think that she had mistakenly entered the peak of bliss, first flying out of the nine heavens, and then falling fiercely from the top of the universe——

  "Puff——!"

  With her current shallow cultivation, she could not bear the power of this mysterious mental method at all. She spurted out a mouthful of blood, and even her eyes, ears and nose were not to be outdone. 

  The subcutaneous blood vessels also showed signs of rupture. One after another, the blood was blocked between the skin and flesh, forming strange red spots that looked extremely creepy.

  She could not bear such pain, her eyes went black, and she fainted——

When Yun Shang woke up, day and night passed, fortunately she has foresight already entered spiritual spring so that her body was healed quickly.

After a thorough examination, she found no injuries on her body, but her spirit was in a very weak state. She just need to rest later.

After feeling her spirit okay, she checked "Brahma Lotus Heart Sutra" in her mind, then she found there's no instruction for practicing at all. 

This practice is really mysterious, if not for buddhist practice and definitely not evil, she didn't dare to take the risk.

Yun Shang can only forget it for now, maybe it needs opportunity to practice.

Yun Shang' life on Yunhai Peak was busy and fulfilling.

Every morning, she would take the Ten Thousand Plants Collection given by Master and start running around the mountains, familiarizing herself with the various spiritual plants on Yunhai Peak and understanding their various functions. 

Different spiritual plants can produce different effects when used in combination, and the same spiritual plant can also have different effects in different specific environments.

Of course Yun Shang doesn't forget to take seeds of each spiritual herbs and fruits to enrich the variety in her space.

After that she continue practicing "Broke Moon Technique" swordsmanship and "Traceless Step" in her space. 

When she was tired she took out the meditation cushion and started meditating "Chaos Art" and "Divine Soul Art" until her spiritual energy full and not tired, then she will continue practice swordsmanship and step technique.

The meditation cushion was also given to Yun Shang by Qingmu Daojun. It was made of rattan woven from the ten thousand year old heart leaf philodendron. It could help people calm down and concentrate their energy, get rid of distracting thoughts, and quickly enter into practice.

There are spirit gathering arrays and isolation arrays engraved on the cushion, then later she dare to meditate and practice in just any place because of this.

Even though there is no danger on Yunhai Peak, she is afraid that someone or a monster might come and interrupt her practice.

The consequences of having your practice interrupted are very serious. At the very least, your tendons and veins will be damaged, and at worst, your cultivation level will decline.

Every night, she start sorting out the day's harvest, she will read Master's experience on formation, she also start making low-level formation plates. She then practicing "Fire Wheel Ring", she want to make this spell can be cast instantly. When her spiritual energy was depleted she will meditating until her spiritual energy full again.

Of course Yun Shang would take a break in between, make a pot of tea, set out a plate of spiritual fruits, and slowly taste them.

Occasionally, she would go to the foot of Yunhai Peak to hunt three or two monsters to satisfy her cravings and enjoy this rare quiet and leisurely time, and then she would start her night training.

When Yun Shang was practicing, because the spiritual energy was used for consciousness, soul, and cultivation, and it had to be constantly condensed and suppressed to widen her tendons and veins, her practice speed would much slower than others.

Fortunately she has cheating space that has time difference so the time she was practicing is the same as disciple with mutant spiritual roots.

Although at the surface her cultivation speed same with them, she felt that her spiritual awareness might be about one level higher than that of cultivators of the same level. For example, she was now at the level of Qi training, and her spiritual awareness strength might not be much different from that of a cultivator in the foundation building.

As for the strength of soul power, without a reference, she didn't know what stage she was in. However, practicing the "Divine Soul Art" would definitely not do any harm, and it might bring her unexpected surprises in the future. And her "Soul Transforming Technique" will be more perfect later.

On Yunhai Peak, Yun Shang practiced fulfillingly every day, and others also practiced on their respective peaks. The days slowly passed.
