Chapter 78: Abnormal Magical Technique
A liquid similar to raindrops appeared in the air, falling to the ground and quickly gathering at the spiritual spring due to the excessive concentration of spiritual qi, gradually liquefying. Due to the Gathering Spirit Array, the spiritual qi could not dissipate outside and condensed into droplets of spiritual liquid on the ground. This was the first time Mi Xiaojing had witnessed this phenomenon and he felt intoxicated by the sensation of every pore in his body breathing in the rich spiritual qi.
.
"This feels so comfortable..."
"Of course, this is Lingyu, condensed from spiritual rain. It is a raw material for alchemy and refining tools. It can be collected, but if you want to break through the bottleneck in your cultivation, you must consume a large amount of spiritual qi. You don't need to worry about collecting it for now."
"Wang Weijun, you can go cultivate. Let me know if you need anything..."
Wang Weijun retreated into the Mantra Banner and stopped talking. He had been diligently cultivating, hoping to one day break free and occupy Mi Xiaojing's body.
Mi Xiaojing sat in the Gathering Spirit Array and began to breathe in the spiritual qi that rushed into his body. After consuming a large amount of true qi during his fight with Tian Cang, he quickly replenished it with the abundant spiritual qi in just a few minutes.
After half an hour of cultivation, Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes and took out the only top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. He reviewed the process of his advancement and used the experience Wang Weijun had shared with him to avoid the pitfalls and enhance his foundation. He also knew some special methods to adjust his physical and mental state during foundation establishment, which were secret techniques that ordinary cultivators could not learn.
The Qianyuan Art was an ancient and superior cultivation technique that consumed a large amount of spiritual qi. Mi Xiaojing used to rely on Spirit Pills to substitute for spiritual qi, but now he had the Gathering Spirit Array which was much more efficient. The Foundation Establishment Pill melted in his mouth, and the massive spiritual power exploded in his abdomen. Mi Xiaojing felt his whole body trembling and quickly stabilized himself to officially break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
The Qianyuan Art quickly circulated, and the massive spiritual qi was rapidly converted into true qi. Mi Xiaojing felt like his whole body was expanding, and the true qi in his meridians directly surged like a needle. He focused all his attention on guiding the true qi, and the Qianyuan Art was incredibly smooth as long as there was enough spiritual qi. Soon, Mi Xiaojing sensed something was wrong. The Qianyuan Art required too much spiritual qi, even with the Gathering Spirit Array and the powerful spiritual qi from the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. It was terrifying that even with his preparation, using the Gathering Spirit Array and two Foundation Establishment Pills, it was still not enough. Mi Xiaojing was going crazy.In a moment of desperation, Mi Xiaojing took out a large number of Qi Refining Pills from his storage bag, all of which were high-quality. He secretly regretted not refining the Cultivating Essence Pills beforehand, as it would have solved his problem. Unfortunately, he had no time to collect materials and didn't have a higher-level Pill Furnace, so it was delayed.
If he had a few high-quality Cultivating Essence Pills, this situation wouldn't have been so dangerous!
Mi Xiaojing didn't eat the Qi Refining Pills one by one, but threw two or three of them into his mouth at once. These were high-quality pills, and luckily he had been cautious about the Heart Sect, so he didn't trade these pills away. If he had, he would probably have cried to death by the Spirit Spring.
Since the beginning of his Alchemy, Mi Xiaojing had refined a large number of high-quality Qi Refining Pills. He had been using them for cultivation, but not too many, so he still had a decent amount left.
In total, excluding the previously consumed Qi Refining Pills, Mi Xiaojing had more than twenty high-quality Qi Refining Pills left, which he swallowed all at once.
Even Wang Weijun was shocked. The Starry Sky Qianyuan Art was too overpowered. How could they cultivate in the future? It required so many pills to replenish Spiritual Qi. How much Spiritual Qi would be needed when they reached the Foundation Establishment stage?
After carefully recalling the content of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, Wang Weijun felt foolish. When he had obtained this superior cultivation technique, he had only memorized it and looked at the first part, which was the Qi Refining stage. Since it was not suitable, he had not studied it further. Now, he realized that the most difficult part of this technique was stepping from the Qi Refining stage into the Foundation Establishment stage.
This process required a massive amount of Spiritual Qi, but once Foundation Establishment was successful, Spiritual Qi was no longer the main issue. A small amount of Spiritual Qi could be used for cultivation, and the most significant need was absorbing starlight to form a unique Star Gang. This was the key, but it stopped 99.99% of cultivators.
Those who cultivated this technique needed not only an extremely high aptitude but also a strong comprehension. In addition, they needed a large amount of auxiliary support. This was a top-level sect technique for cultivating disciples. Rogue cultivators and small sect cultivators could not even complete the first step.
Mi Xiaojing had no idea about all this. All he knew was that this cultivation technique required a large amount of Spiritual Qi, but he didn't expect the demand to be so terrifying during the breakthrough.
The Spiritual Qi absorbed by the Gathering Spirit Array was not enough for Mi Xiaojing's consumption. He became a black hole, with countless Spiritual Qi pouring in. Once the Gathering Spirit Array could not absorb Spiritual Qi, it would directly consume Spirit Stones, and the thirty-six Spirit Stones began to release their own Spiritual Qi.
Fortunately, there was this Gathering Spirit Array. The Spiritual Qi released by the thirty-six Spirit Stones was massive and pure, barely allowing Mi Xiaojing to maintain himself. The real usefulness came from the Qi Refining Pills, which helped Mi Xiaojing break through.
At first, he threw a few Qi Refining Pills into his mouth, but by the end, when it was time to break through, Mi Xiaojing no longer distinguished between high-quality and mid-quality Qi Refining Pills, throwing them all into his mouth. He felt a sense of desperation in his heart, as it was too difficult.
Just one step away! Just one breath away!
