Chapter 59 Refining Starlight
Chapter 59 Refining Starlight
While Xiao Fan had another adventure, Zhang Yunlu was not idle either.
11:15 pm, in the lobby of the Foundation Building Comprehensive Service Center.
Zhang Yunlu sat upright, with several lines of golden text in front of her that only she could see.
[Name: Zhang Yunlu]
[Realm: Ninth Level of Qi Training]
[Current ranking: 9]
[Can enter the trial space]
After passing the first round of trials, she can enter the trial space at any time and no longer needs to wait passively at night as before.
Zhang Yunlu was not very satisfied with the ninth place.
She had entered this space before anyone else, so it can be said that she had an advantage over anyone else.
But once they started fighting, she discovered her weakness - she was unfamiliar with other types of practitioners.
Facing a physical cultivator whom she had never played against before, whose fighting style was different from that of a sword cultivator, she suffered from her lack of experience and did not make any adjustments to her fighting style.
As a result, she spent too much time and ranked ninth.
So after defeating her opponent, she tried to fight with various types of practitioners in the trial space.
But what she remembers most is the sword practitioner Wu Li who was at the eighth level of Qi training.
Although her realm was obviously lower than his, he had no power to resist her.
"The foundation of creation..."
"Look, Xiaolu, someone has finished the first step of the Mining Refining Method and has come out." Zhang Xiu said in amazement, "And he actually came out standing!"
The golden words in front of Zhang Yunlu's eyes disappeared, and she looked in the direction her brother had said.
He was a pale young man who walked unsteadily, being supported by someone. He looked very embarrassed, but everyone waiting in the hall looked at him with admiration.
After completing the practice of the mining and refining method, he was able to walk out standing. What a ruthless person!
Facing the gazes of the crowd, the man seemed to want to walk more decently, but just as he stood up a little straighter, he let out a scream and almost fell down. Fortunately, he was supported by the people around him.
"..."
Look at you, why are you pretending when you are fine?
The young man walked away with the help of people around him.
"Zhang Yunlu, Mining and Refining Practice Room No. 9." A cold and crisp mechanical voice rang out.
"Come on, Xiaolu." Zhang Xiu encouraged.
"Ah."
Nodding slightly, Zhang Yunlu stood up and walked inside.
Coming to the metal door at the corner, she took out the card, inserted it into a slot, and then injected a trace of spiritual power into the instrument placed aside.
"Certification passed, Zhang Yunlu, I wish you success in your practice of mining and refining." The cold mechanical voice gave an emotionless blessing.
snort~
The metal door slowly opened, and a uniformed staff member was already waiting inside.
"Please follow me. You have purchased the third-level nursing service. I will pay attention to your condition throughout the process." She said with a smile.
"Good work."
The staff is responsible for paying real-time attention to the condition of those practicing the mining and refining method, and will provide immediate rescue if anything goes wrong.
For people like Zhang Yunlu who have purchased nursing services, if they encounter situations such as vomiting blood due to pain, incontinence, etc., the staff will help you heal your injuries and clean up the dirt as soon as possible.
In ancient times, this process was called "protecting the Dao", and it usually occurred between teachers and students, fellow Taoists, or blood relatives. In addition to the above content, there is also an additional task of defending against foreign enemies.
Now there is no need to worry about the last item. I cannot say that the Sword Sect's Miscellaneous Affairs Hall is absolutely safe, but it is far from comparable to ordinary places.
As for those practitioners who have not purchased nursing services, the staff will carry you onto a stretcher after you are out of danger, and then send you to the lounge through the back door to be received by your family members or accompanying persons.
Following the staff, Zhang Yunlu finally came to a circular enclosed room.
It is surrounded by silver-gray walls, and there is a control console at the innermost side.
There was a cushion in the middle, and on the ground around it were winding bright lines, which were the lines of the formation. The room was a little cold.
Zhang Yunlu walked to the center and sat cross-legged on the cushion.
Buzz!
The ceiling above my head opened, and the starry sky looked like a piece of black velvet dotted with diamonds, deep and mysterious.
The staff member stood in front of the control console: "You can start now."
Hearing this, Zhang Yunlu closed his eyes and mobilized three-tenths of his spiritual power, and formed a "Fishing Star" seal with great skill.
The formation was also activated, and soon, light silver illusory threads appeared - starlight!
This step is something that everyone can do successfully, but the difficult part is what you do next.
She extended a ray of spiritual power, like small tentacles, gently wrapped around the hanging starlight thread.
But as soon as the power of the soul touched the starlight thread, a tide of severe pain spread throughout the body, and the brain felt like a saw was inserted into it, constantly cutting back and forth.
The spiritual power that a practitioner in the Qi training stage can call upon is limited, so there is only one chance.
Zhang Yunlu frowned slightly. For her, this kind of pain was still within the tolerable range.
Enduring the pain, she withdrew her spiritual power and absorbed the starlight into her body.
The silver threads around her seemed to be pulled slowly towards the Chengjiang acupoint and merged into it.
At this point, the "collection" is basically completed.
The starlight that falls into the body starts from the Chengjiang point and moves downward along the Renmai meridian, passing through the Xuanji, Zigong, Tanzhong and other acupoints, until it reaches the Qihai point.
This process is extremely painful, like a small knife cutting back and forth in the meridians, and the whole person seems to be split in two.
Even though Zhang Yunlu had to die many times every night and had a strong tolerance for pain, he still clenched his teeth and his lips turned white due to the pain.
After a long half minute, the starlight finally flowed into the Linghai through the Qihai acupoint and merged into the hexagonal crystal.
Call ~
Let out a sigh of relief.
'Lead' and 'collect', and it's done.
The next step is 'refining'!
This is the most painful step. 90% of practitioners cannot persist in this step. In mild cases, they may vomit blood, and in severe cases, they may even suffer from incontinence.
All in one go!
Zhang Yunlu did not pause for too long. He changed the seals of his hands and drew out a small wisp of starlight from the spiritual seal. After the starlight fell into the spiritual sea, it quickly merged with the spiritual power.
It's itchy, my whole body is itchy, and it's getting more and more itchy!
But soon, the itching turned into a stinging pain, and every part of the body was in pain. After a long time, the stinging pain slowly dissipated.
It doesn't hurt too much.
According to the description in the "Basic Extraction Method", the amount of extraction can be gradually increased, and the pain will increase accordingly, until it is unbearable, or until it is completely refined, but...
That's too slow!
Zhang Yunlu's hand seals changed again.
Click!
The hexagonal crystal storing the starlight shattered, and wisps of starlight scattered. Nine whirlpools appeared above the spiritual sea, sucking the starlight in.
"Nine-Qi Refining Method"!
In an instant, an indescribable pain spread to every corner of the body. Every inch of flesh and blood seemed to be cut open. Zhang Yunlu clenched her teeth and her face turned pale.
The severe pain almost made her faint, but Zhang Yunlu still managed to hold on to the last bit of clarity in her mind.
If you faint, all your efforts will be wasted!
The staff members who were observing nearby were somewhat surprised.
The mining and refining method used by this person is actually a very violent one, which is extremely dangerous.
And violent also means rapid.
Dozens of seconds later, Zhang Yunlu suddenly opened her eyes, but her body fell to one side due to exhaustion.
Upon seeing this, the staff quickly stepped forward and gently probed into her with a wisp of magical power to check her condition.
Soon, she smiled and said, "Congratulations, you succeeded!"
It's really amazing that she could endure such a violent mining method without making a sound during the whole process.
Please collect and read!!
To explain, building the foundation is related to some subsequent plots, so it is written in detail.
However, the next two stages will be briefly mentioned.
