Cold Spirit City, Spirit Mine Mountain Range

After the new mine was loaded with a basket of spirit stones, the seven nights of carrying the weight followed the end of the return procession. At this moment, he was extremely prostration, his legs trembled slightly, his face was as pale as cold jade, sweat was like beads, his tongue was dry in his mouth, and his green lips were already chapped.

However, Nanaya, who had fallen at the end of the group, ignored his own poor physical condition, and his eyes scanned the movements of the overseers around him with alertness. In the narrow and winding mountain road, the slave caravan stretched for thousands of meters. These overseer soldiers who followed the slave procession, even if they had three heads and six arms, could not monitor such a long procession, let alone the seven nights that fell at the end of the procession.

After confirming that he was not being noticed, Qiye gently closed his eyes, concentrated on breathing, and the constant wheezing began to slowly become calm and even, gradually... The perception of physical pain and tiredness seems to be becoming more and more blurred. A strange state of mind of ignorance, desirelessness, and thoughtlessness quietly sprouted. Then Seven Nights began to try to stabilize his conscious mind in this strange state of mind, and a strange, electricity-like spiritual pulse in the spirit world bent and flashed from the pitch-black abyss, colliding with Seven Nights' consciousness and mind.

Suddenly, Qiye's eyes suddenly opened, and a white light the size of a pinpoint particle shone in the pitch-black pupils.

At this moment, Qiye felt that his perception began to become acute, the green insects hiding under the weeds on the edge of the cliff, the rustling of the leaves under the plank road, and the air flow of the fallen leaves overhead... Seven nights can be noticed. Suddenly, the vague pain that had accumulated in various parts of the body before erupted like an irrepressible lava, and the heart-rending and menacing pain almost made Seven Nights faint in an instant.

"Cocoa, evil!" Caught off guard, Qiye gritted his teeth as hard as he could, suppressing painful tears and roaring loudly so as not to attract the attention of the prison soldiers. Despite all his desperate efforts, the pain in Qiye's throat that could not be stopped was vague. The intense pain quickly flooded every drop of blood in his body and drained his strength, Nanaya's legs began to tremble and become limp, and the basket on his shoulders gradually felt heavier and heavier, pressing himself out of breath, and Nanaya realized that his body might have reached its limit.

Although his physical strength had been exhausted, he thought that he still had a basket of mineral spirit stones on his back. Qiye did not despair, since he laid the foundation of spiritual power, he had never tried to absorb the spiritual energy of the spirit stone. But right now, I'm afraid there is no other way to gain physical strength.

Now that we have come to this step today, there is no way back, either we must die or we will try, no matter what the outcome is, we can still give it a try! In a moment's time, just do it! Qiye raised his head and glanced around the front again to make sure that no one was paying attention to him. He began to slowly calm down, and his mind continued to probe the huge cyclone in the Mixed Yuan Refining Realm in his body.

At this moment, the cyclone was scattered like floating clouds, and the huge and flattened thin clouds were quietly suspended in the Mixed Yuan Refining Realm like a astrolabe. Gazing deeply, Nanaya felt that since a spiritual pulse in the depths of the spirit world established a connection with his mind, there seemed to be a subtle sense between himself and the cyclone: he had once looked at the cyclone in the abyss, as if he was just watching an objective scene. And now, when Seven Nights looks at the cyclone, it seems that the Chaos cyclone is also watching him. Such a switch between the two perspectives of things and me made Nanaya feel strange.

Time was pressing, and there was no time to figure out the reason, Qiye's mind began to urge the cyclone with all his might, and as a result, the layer of floating clouds and cyclones that seemed to be as thin as a light veil actually made Qiye feel as heavy and stable as Mount Tai. I had tried my best to urge it, but the cyclone was still immovable. Seven nights were unwilling to fail again and again, but the cyclone still showed no signs of turning.

After many times of all-out output to no avail, Qiye became a little anxious. His physical condition is urgent, and if he can't succeed at this juncture, then the only thing that awaits him is death.

Don't rush, don't rush.... Seven nights took a deep breath and kept admonishing themselves in their hearts. At the same time, forcibly press all impatience, worries and panic, and in the case of a worrying situation, you must not be upset.

Calm down, calm down, calm down... Phew!Seven Nights took a deep breath and prepared to start trying again......

At this moment, Qiye suddenly felt a chill in his vest: a cool and moist faint aura was pumped into the spiritual realm in the dantian, injected into the whirlpool and dissipated. The chaotic cyclone only turned slightly, and a gentle and full sense of power swept over, making Qiye's embarrassed and prostrated face rejoice.

A new vitality slowly nourished and flowed all over his body, looking at his hands full of strength, Qiye was suddenly stunned: just now, just now...? Although it is not clear what happened, but at this moment Qiye can't care so much, and the corners of his mouth can't help but be happy. As the power poured out from the depths of his body, the feeling of prostration, powerlessness, and hunger gradually lessened, and Nanaya felt that his strength was increasing at a perceptible rate.

The spiritual power is really extraordinary, and after a period of joy in my heart, when Qiye was about to greedily enjoy this constantly surging sense of power, this full feeling suddenly came to an abrupt end...

Eh!! Qiye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the basket of mineral spirit stones on his back could only extract a trace of spiritual energy, and the resources had been exhausted. It's just that this little aura is difficult to meet Qiye's needs for physical recovery, and the success just now is just Qiye's mistake, in fact, he hasn't really mastered how to absorb aura.

So, Seven Nights picked himself up again and hurried to keep up with the returning slave procession. On the way back, Seven Nights approached the other slave porters without moving, and while the overseer soldiers were not aware of the gap, they kept trying to absorb the aura. If you fail and wait for the opportunity to try again, Seven Nights believes that with the success of the first time, there will be a second and a third time...... And finally, for the umpteenth time.

After many repeated failures, Qiye gradually mastered some ways: that is, the mind in the mixed yuan refining realm and his own body consciousness are synchronously absorbed, simply put: the mind represents his inner world, and the body's consciousness is the external world, when the breath of the two worlds begins to become synchronized, it can urge the qi in his body to rotate, producing the effect of absorbing aura.

This discovery made the little Seven Nights surging in their hearts, and this was the first time that Seven Nights discovered the "secret" by relying on their persistent exploration and summary of failures again and again. It's just that Qiye didn't know at the moment, and this "secret" that he tried to discover was simply a basic skill known to other spiritual practitioners. This is because every junior cultivator will explain to them when they embark on the path of cultivation.

Relying on his own discovery and use of jerky aura absorption skills, Qiye continued to wait for opportunities to absorb the mineral spirit stones in the backmen of his fellow slaves on the return journey, but each basket of mineral spirit stones could only extract a trace of spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy fell into the body after the cyclone was as calm as dripping water like the sea. Qiye absorbed dozens of baskets of spiritual energy before and after, but the spirit world did not react at all, which made Qiye a little puzzled:

The sense of strength has not increased much compared to before, where has the absorbed spiritual power gone? Along the way, I have questioned one after another, but I have no time to take care of it, and I still keep absorbing the spiritual energy all the time, leaving no effort to absorb it, even if I don't know where the spiritual energy inhaled has gone, but it always belongs to my body, and there is always a chance to figure out in the future, and the most important thing to do at present is to do everything possible to obtain the spiritual energy. In such a focused and careful absorption of aura, the return journey made Qiye feel so short for the first time.

Damn! It's going to be over before you have enough to eat. After Qiye couldn't help but complain in his heart, he quickly reined in his mind and sank his breath into the Mixed Yuan Refining Realm. In the slave mine camp, there were still many spiritual officers who were strong for Qiye, and if they found out that they were cultivating spiritual power, they would be executed by Ling Chi. You also have to know how to wipe your mouth when you eat secretly, and you naturally understand this truth.

After a while, Qiye had already transformed his appearance into an ordinary boy who was still tired and dying.

The carrying team slowly marched towards the open space in the center of the mining camp, and hundreds of elevated large freight carriages were parked in the flat clearing, which were specially responsible for transporting the spiritual ore carried by these slave porters from the deep mountains out of the mountains and transporting them to the 'spiritual platform' built by the city lord for spiritual power refining. Seven nights lined up in order to pour the ore in the basket on their backs into the spacious cargo box of the elevated wagon, and then went to the account room next to him to receive the ration of his day's labor: a piece of raw and hard to gnaw chaff.

Looking at the cart full of mineral spirit stones, Qiye was extremely envious in his heart, if he could absorb so much spiritual energy, then his strength should be improved. After some beautiful imagination in his heart, Nanaya quickly regained his calm rationally. Now that he has mastered the way to gain power, one day, he must leave here alive! After re-strengthening his determination, Qiye retracted his gaze and calmly walked back to the camp.

Back in the tent, Qiye devoured the chaff bun in his hand in two bites, and then immediately lay down. I can't wait to start tonight's practice, tonight Qiye will practice "Shadow Step", although I have never been in contact with any guidance on the cultivation of exercises, so that Qiye is a little unfamiliar with the comprehension of the mantra in the cultivation, but with the spirit of continuous thought, trial and exploration, Qiye continues to refresh his ability to comprehend the mantra. The practice of body method has also changed from not knowing how to start at the beginning to initially mastering the practice method, and tirelessly deepening the comprehension.
