Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 11 Cultivation
But He Jiaxiu persisted and chased after her, saying, "I can invade your territory."

Ning Fusang ignored her and left the square directly.

Ning Fusang wouldn't believe a single word He Jiaxiu said; she was just making fun of herself.

To be honest, Ning Fusang really didn't want to run into her.

For example, just now, as soon as she appeared, she damaged the Xuan Tie sword that she had finally managed to seize, preventing her from continuing to practice swordsmanship.

The Southern Star Sword Sect has a Sword Repository Pavilion, which contains the transformations of Mount Sumeru and the vastness of heaven and earth. It houses the swords of predecessors and also collects the newly forged spiritual swords.

The Hidden Sword Pavilion is the place that all disciples of the Southern Star Sword Sect dream of visiting, but only inner disciples can go in and choose a spirit sword that belongs to them.

Outer disciples all use the sect's Xuan Tie swords, but they can also buy a spirit sword themselves with spirit stones, like He Jiaxiu did.

However, I would rather Japan be poor than have such an idea.

She still preferred to go to the Hidden Sword Pavilion to find a sword.

Suddenly, beautiful seven-stringed zither music drifted from the mountains, and Ning Fusang realized that she had unknowingly walked into the Listening Hall.

She stood outside and listened for a while, not intending to go in. After all, the class had already started.

In addition to the two main courses of swordsmanship and cultivation, the Southern Star Sword Sect also offers many other courses, such as literacy, the five tones and six musical scales, geography of spiritual energy, biographies of past sages, and so on, too numerous to count.

However, these courses are not scheduled in a fixed way; it all depends on whether the elders in the sect are willing to teach. Sometimes, they might give a class on a whim, and sometimes, after that class, there might not be any more.

Ning Fusang enjoyed listening to the elders' lectures to broaden her horizons. She would often attend classes on literacy to learn about ancient scripts, the scripts of the demon race, and the scripts of other ethnic groups.

Ning Fusang also enjoyed listening to the lectures on Zhongling Geography.

The entire Zhongling World is divided into five major states: in addition to Beiyuling State, where they are located, there is Yangchi State in the west, Yaoming State in the east, Chunhe State in the south, and Zhongmiaoxing State in the center of the four states.

The five continents are located in different places, and their customs and traditions are also very different.

Located in the northern part of Yuling Prefecture, it experiences snowfall in two of the four seasons, with the best weather occurring only in summer and autumn.

Due to its geographical location, Yuling Prefecture is not wealthy. It mainly produces ice-attribute spiritual plants and beasts, and its alchemy level is far lower than that of the other four prefectures.

However, Yuling Prefecture is rich in minerals, and these ores are highly sought after by weapon refiners, with many being sold every year.

Almost all sects control mineral veins, large or small. As far as Ning Fusang knows, the Southern Star Sword Sect has six mineral veins in the open.

In reality, Ning Fusang, being only an outer disciple, would never know how many resources the Southern Star Sword Sect actually controlled.

After returning to Wuyuan, Ning Fusang closed the door and began cultivating.

At the bottom of the cabinet were futons for disciples to meditate and cultivate. Ning Fusang sat upright on the futon and began to absorb spiritual energy according to the most common cultivation method.

This is the "Spirit Refining Technique" that her master taught her when she joined the sect three years ago. According to the technique, one can compress the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into colorless spiritual power.

During cultivation, one must maintain a tranquil mind, free from distractions, and without a single thought arising. Only then can one be undisturbed by the seven emotions and six desires, allowing spiritual energy to gather like water in the dantian and sea of ​​qi.

The finest spiritual energy, unblemished by any impurities, gathers in the dantian, remaining ever still and clear, like a calm lake or a bright mirror, reflecting the universe clearly and all things with clarity.

Different cultivation methods result in varying speeds and effects in refining spiritual energy into spiritual power. The "Spirit Refining Technique" is a technique uniformly taught to outer disciples by the Southern Star Sword Sect. Although it is common, its simplicity makes it easy for most people to learn.

Once you enter the inner sect, especially if you can become a disciple of an elder, you will naturally receive superior cultivation methods, and your efficiency in refining spiritual energy will be greatly improved.

Besides, another way is to buy cultivation techniques from outside and not use the cultivation method of the Southern Star Sword Sect's "Refining Spirit Technique".

Many outer sect disciples, hoping to improve their cultivation and achieve a good ranking in the outer sect competition, would actively save spirit stones to buy cultivation techniques. However, the cultivation techniques available outside were varied and of different quality, and were not necessarily better than the "Spirit Refining Technique." Ning Fusang still preferred to trust the judgment of such a large sect as the Southern Star Sword Sect.

As she circulated the Spirit Refining Technique, spiritual energy was drawn into her body, condensing into water droplets that dripped into a clear spring-like pool of water that already existed in her dantian.

Ning Fusang had become very proficient in the "Spirit Refining Technique," and his speed in refining spiritual energy was getting faster and faster.

A quarter of an hour later, it seemed as if an invisible barrier had been broken through. The surface of the clear spring water, where spiritual energy had gathered, dropped slightly, but the entire spring was widened by several inches.

Ning Fusang opened her eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

She has broken through to the peak of another realm.

Every subtle movement within the Wuyuan Garden was perfectly clear to her senses.

For example, Ruan San Niang returned.

Ning Fusang opened the east window and saw a figure in a blue jacket and white skirt walking towards her, carrying a bundle.

She was also holding a few sprigs of red plum blossoms in her arms.

Ning Fusang broke through to the peak of the first realm again and paused her cultivation. She sat by the window, resting her chin on her hand, observing Ruan Sanniang.

Ruan San Niang kept her head down until she was about to enter her room when she noticed Ning Fusang watching her. She felt inexplicably nervous and stopped at the doorway, asking:

"Senior Sister Ning, is there something you need?"

Ning Fusang shook his head.

Ruan San Niang hesitated before entering the house. A moment later, she put down her bundle and came out, walking to Ning Fusang's window.

"Senior Sister Ning, here are a few sprigs of red plum blossoms for you. You can put them in a vase."

This was given to her by Xu Jianjia and Xiao Qiu when she met them on the road.

Wuyuan is remote and there are no plum trees planted there, but putting a couple of branches in the house can add some color.

"Oh, thank you." Ning Fusang said politely.

The fragrance of the winter plum blossoms was delicate and elegant. She took the red plum blossom, turned around and put it in the white jade vase next to her, then continued to rest her chin on her hand, as if she was in a daze.

Ruan San Niang and she didn't have much to talk about. Ruan San Niang's gaze wandered uncomfortably until she saw the package of pastries on the table.

She pointed and asked, "Senior Sister Ning, don't you like this pastry?"

Ning Fusang glanced at her, reached out and took the spirit cake, pushed it in front of Ruan Sanniang, and gestured for her to take it.

Consider it a return gift from her to herself for giving him plum blossoms.

Ruan San Niang quickly waved her hand: "Senior Sister Ning, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."

She just started a conversation because the atmosphere was too awkward. Although she really missed the taste of the pastries, she didn't mean to take advantage of anyone.

Ning Fusang stuffed the pastries directly into Ruan Sanniang's arms: "Here you go."

This kind of pastry actually contains very little spiritual energy; it only serves to fill the stomach for people like Ruan San Niang who have just entered the temple.

Once she has guided the spirit into her body, eating these pastries will be no different from eating ordinary human pastries.
