Chapter 53: Reforging the Spirit

Cold Spirit City, Spirit Mine Mountain Range

In the mine, seven nights are like monks sitting still, not moving. From time to time, a touch of lost folds faintly appeared between the eyebrows... A moment later, those bloodshot eyes slowly opened to reveal wordless disappointment.

"Failed again... Again. With a light sigh, Qiye was full of energy, and he was unwilling to fail to self-motivate.

It's been three days since I started trying to reforge the spirit. For three days, seven nights and one night were immersed in the spiritual realm, and the pale and bloodless cheeks seemed to tell the unremitting efforts of every moment of these days.

In three days, nearly 300 lower-grade spirit stones were consumed, and more than half of the hundreds of spirit stones in the Liubingwei Spirit Ring had been consumed before. And after consuming so many spirit stones and mental energy, Qiye also gradually improved a little in the process of recasting the spirit.

To reforge the spirit, you need to fuse it first: the spirit embryo. The spirit embryo is the product of the joint fusion of essence and blood, spiritual power, consciousness, and the laws of heaven and earth. These tangible and intangible material factors are not simply and rudely kneaded, but need to be mastered to master the delicate balance in order to achieve integration.

Although there was a great protector's guidance in advance, Qiye still seemed very clumsy when he first got started.

Before the embryonic body is fused and contracted to half, the balance is broken at the slightest abnormality, and the embryonic body is completely dissolved, and the previous efforts are lost... More than a dozen attempts in a row, and the results are still the same. After a dozen failures, Nanaya's face began to appear hemorrhagic and pale, accompanied by a trance. However, the defeat did not make Qiye retreat, but only aroused his determination not to admit defeat, and after taking a short rest, he devoured the dry food on his body, replenished his qi and blood, and then launched a ruthless attempt to sink into the spirit world again...

Two days later, Seven Nights had been able to compress the embryonic body fusion to three-quarters and become the size of an egg, but when the mind control was withdrawn, the compressed embryonic body would still expand and collapse. And as the volume of compression is smaller, the force generated by the expansion burst is also greater, which is a huge shock to both the mind and the spirit world.

"It turns out that it is such a dangerous thing to reforge the spirit..."After gradually figuring out the doorway, Seven Nights had a deep understanding. I am afraid that the slightest carelessness will lead to death or disability.

Because the spiritual power in the embryo body is compressed to a certain extent in the spirit realm and explodes, the instantaneous impact power can even completely destroy the nearby spirit stars. If it is compressed to the extreme, it is very likely that the entire spiritual realm will be destroyed if one is not careful. Once the spiritual realm is destroyed, it can no longer store and gather spiritual power, and it will be like a mortal, which is no different from a mortal for a spiritual cultivator!

Obviously, the Great Protector didn't mention anything about it before. Now Qiye has personally tried this trick, but he doesn't plan to stop there.

First, I don't want my efforts in the past three days to come to naught; second, I want to break the Great Protector's attempt to break the bad water in my stomach; and third, after three days of failure, I need to use success to dispel the shadow in my heart after gaining experience. For people who have failed countless times, it is too much to need success to save their self-confidence.

This is also the motivation for Qiye to know that it is powerful, but still determined to move forward!

'Phew!' spit out a bloody saliva, Qiye breathed a long sigh of relief, and continued to pick up a spirit stone and began to reabsorb it. It's been three days without sleep, and the seven nights are not only physically and mentally exhausted, but also have internal injuries after so many explosions in the body. Thinking of the large-scale attack of the surrounding princes' cities, and the possibility of rushing to this side of the Spirit Mine Mountain Range at any time, he felt that time was tight and urgent.

Gritting his teeth, putting aside the lost distractions, Seven Nights devoted himself to recasting the spirit...

In the spiritual realm, the abundant aura and blood slowly merge with each other under the guidance of the mind. This process of fusion is quite long and boring, like the interweaving of black and white.

Every trace of aura and blood slowly devoured under the action of the mind in a certain proportion, forming an unknown liquid with a pale golden color. After all the aura and blood have been fused and scattered in the spirit realm, they must carefully gather these fused golden liquids together.

In the vast spiritual realm, the golden liquid that gradually gathered was like a tumbling magma, constantly slowly shrinking, slowly letting go, and then shrinking again... Repeatedly, the air pressure instability generated during the compression process is relieved, so that when it is opened and closed, the volume of the fused golden liquid is gathered and compressed. When the liquid is compressed to the size of an egg, each time it is compressed, Qiye walks on thin ice and goes into respiratory arrest.

It seems that it has gone through a long ninety steps, and only the last ten steps of success are left, and the seven nights are tense and steady, even if the speed is slow, to ensure the success of every step!

"Gather!" he shouted intently, his mind pulling the void. Now every compression is considered a success, and with each successful step, I breathe a sigh of relief, and then adjust the state and start trying to succeed in the next step.

In this way, the camp is carried out step by step... In the blink of an eye, another two days passed, and the golden liquid needed to reforge the spirit was finally compressed to the size of a red date.

But this is only the 'polyembryo' in the process of completing the recasting of the spirit, and the next is the most critical 'condensation'!

The condensation embryo is the most transitional step in the process of recasting the spirit, and whether the spirit can be successfully formed or not, the condensation embryo directly determines the final success or failure. At the same time, the solidification embryo is also the most dangerous life and death in the whole recasting process. The long 'polyembryo' ahead is just a gentle foreshadowing, and the 'condensation' is like a turning ridge of a cliff. If you get through, then you are not far from success. If you fail, you will fall into the abyss and be shattered.

For countless years, many spiritualists whose spirits have been destroyed have chosen to give up recasting their spirits for fear of failing to condense their embryos and causing them to die, even though they know that having a spiritual spirit is of great benefit to the practice of the exercises, the speed of absorption of spiritual energy, and the subtle mastery of spiritual power release.

The shining golden embryo body looks like a round golden pill. But Qiye knew that there was a very terrifying balance of energy inside this 'Golden Pill', like a balloon filled with water, which only needed a slight prick from an external force to burst a piece.

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't dare to start easily. But so far, there is only one way to go to the dark. Seven nights spent a full five days, constantly exerting force slightly, repeatedly groping, testing the critical force value of the golden embryo, and finally found a delicate balance after a dozen failures.

And in these dozen failures, perhaps because of the double barrier effect formed by the Mixed Yuan Refining Realm and the Spirit Realm, he actually resisted the powerful impact of more than a dozen 'Embryo Body Spirit Explosions', so that the Spirit Realm would not collapse and blow himself up. Otherwise, if it is an ordinary spiritual cultivator, a single spiritual explosion is enough to destroy the spiritual wall membrane that is broken at the snap of a finger and devour oneself.

However, it was gratifying to resist the 'Embryo Body Spirit Explosion', but the three 'Star Clusters' in the Spirit Realm suffered from it, and the stars were dimmed and sparsely populated by the impact of the Spirit Explosion, and at least seven or eight thousand stars were lost in a rough count.

After all this effort, the corners of Qiye's mouth finally showed a pale and weak smile. When I woke up and looked at my physical condition, more than half of the blood in my body had been consumed, and all the organs in my body were shocked to the point of faint pain, countless dark injuries and tears, plus ten days of preoccupation took too much effort. At this moment, Qiye's mind was also muddy, buzzing, and accompanied by a feeling of flickering coldness and swelling, like the chaos before he died, it was extremely uncomfortable.

"It looks like it's time to rest for a while..."I took out a bottle of healing medicine, swallowed a few pills, and lay down on the stone platform with a sense of relief, unconsciously falling asleep. When I woke up again, it was noon the next day. After resting for seven nights, I felt that my whole body had recovered to seventy-seven or eighty-eight, so I cheered up and urgently prepared for the last step: condensation.

Gazing quietly, the golden ball of light the size of a jujube core in the spirit world was calmly suspended in the dark air, as if it were bright and dark. Swallowing slightly, Qiye began to inject his own mental power into the ball of light, and when the mental power just touched the slightly cool wall membrane of the ball of light, a spirit, the whole body was like a cold electric current passing through, and the whole person instantly felt a cold and moist illusion.

Cheering up the spirit, Seven Nights slowly manipulated his telekinesis, pushing the liquid in the ball of light to extend in five directions. In the previous dozen failures, Seven Nights summed up the key to this process: it must be slow, slow, slow!

Because the liquid wall membrane is too thin, even if the wall membrane is extended outward at the speed of a turtle, it can not withstand it, and can only slowly 'grow' outward at the speed of a snail;

Five different directions, requiring the same speed and the same force, this 'one heart and five uses' is really a huge test! This is also the reason why many people dare not try it easily....

Slowly... As the day passed, the round golden sphere flowed into the rudimentary form of a small human body, and then another day was spent enriching the details of the rudimentary form of the spirit: the fingers, the face, the nose, and the proportions of the torso.

Seven nights are slowly and methodically enriching the silhouettes of the characters, and by the early morning of the next day, after a day of perfection and enrichment, the spirit has begun to take on a human form. It is a spirit form that bears a striking resemblance to the appearance of the Seven Nights, but in a miniature version. When Seven Nights carefully completed the entire condensation process, the final finishing touches made him uneasy.

Now the spirit is no longer a stable compressed embryonic state, but has been shaped into a human form structure through the mental force, in which one's own mental power has been acting in the soul torso to keep its internal energy structure stable, but when the force is withdrawn after the final transformation of the person, can the spirit really take shape smoothly without collapsing and bursting?

Qiye couldn't help but have a big question in his heart...

It is as if after the construction of a beautiful palace, when the load-bearing auxiliary pillars are finally removed, the thought that the magnificent palace may collapse in an instant and become a ruin is a deep uneasiness and terrifying. After being silent for a long time, I finally felt ruthless in my heart: since I have failed in the end, why should I be so persistent!

After a turn of thought, Qiye took a deep breath and pulled back all the mental power in the spirit in one go. At the moment of retraction, the membrane of the spiritual body was like a soap bubble, 'flickering' and tender for a few times, and then gradually stabilized.

Looking at the fluctuations that seemed to be about to burst, Nanaya's heart rose to his throat. However, the expected instantaneous collapse did not occur, and the spirit body gradually stabilized. Seeing such a scene, the boulder hanging in my heart was finally put down, and I successfully pulled it! A great joy surged over...

However, it didn't take long for Nanaya to realize that something was wrong with the spirit body, and the stereotyped figure began to slowly become a little distorted, and as this distortion intensified, many details of the character began to blur, as if it were melting.

Qiye watched anxiously at the changes in the spirit body, and did not dare to intervene to stop it halfway until he knew the cause of the change. It didn't take long for the melting-like twisting to stop. At this moment, although the spirit body still maintains the appearance of the human body, the details of the human face, the number of fingers and other details have been completely dissolved, and the adhesion is not clear, like a person made of water, and it is impossible to distinguish clearly.

"What's going on?" his eyes stared at the very vague spirit, and his mind kept speculating about the cause of its success or failure.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect it, I really let your kid reforge it..."In the midst of seven nights of sorrow, a cold sneer, and in the chaotic heavenly wheel below the spirit world, the great protector finally couldn't help but let out a sound. Before this, he had been watching everything coldly, quite a good show, and then when he saw that the seven nights were gradually completed, he was a little disappointed, and the successful condensation of this spirit in front of him meant that some of his plans were completely frustrated.
