The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 165 Remnant Soul Transforms into Spirit
Even after her cultivation breakthrough, her body was still filled with a large amount of medicinal power and wood elemental power.

She took this opportunity to quickly refine the medicinal power.

Master's medicinal diet is extraordinary. It actually raised the strength of her meridians to the peak of Qi Refining and is still being nurtured and improved.

As a result, her physical defenses changed, and after reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining, they continued to improve.

"It will probably take three days to fully refine this medicinal power!"

"Then let's just go for it!"

She casually made a hand seal, and the boiling black tea beside her floated to her side.

Without hesitation, she drank the entire cup of tea in one gulp.

The impurities in her body had already been mostly removed in the Moon Cleansing Pool, but there were still some congenital residues. This tea not only slowly removed the impurities hidden in the dark, but also cleared away many distracting thoughts in her mind.

Gradually, a faint yellow impurity appeared on the surface of her skin; this was impurity from her bone marrow.

She cast a cleansing spell, and the yellow impurities on her skin disappeared.

An hour later, she finally used the remaining spiritual energy of the Jade Lamp Fruit Wood to completely consolidate her cultivation. Her dantian even had five more strands of spiritual energy than when she reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

After breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining, the amount of spiritual energy required for each breakthrough is more than ten strands more than when she was in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, which is more than forty strands. She can only improve by one strand at most in a day, and that is under the premise of cultivating with all her might.

The increase in spiritual power occurs when the dantian is filled with spiritual energy, and then increases by a wisp.

The amount of spiritual energy in each realm increases on top of the previous realm.

She needs to replenish her energy first before she can improve, which slows her down a bit. However, with the help of the pills, her spiritual energy recovery can be accelerated, resulting in an extremely fast cultivation speed.

"To break through to the ninth level, two mature Jade Lamp Fruits are required. One Jade Lamp Fruit can provide thirty strands of energy."

"We only have one Jade Lamp Fruit left. The other one can be replaced with a elixir."

It was only after this trip to the grotto that she realized the importance of cultivation. If it weren't for the suppression of her cultivation within the grotto, she would have likely faced countless crises.

That peak Qi Refining snake demon won't be killed so easily, and there are also those fallen Qi Refining cultivators.

In short, she was able to escape unscathed this time thanks to the restrictions placed on the cave.

Nothing gives her more peace of mind than improving her cultivation level.

Why was Master Shui Huanmeng in such a hurry to break through to the Nascent Soul stage? It was because she saw the sudden incident of demonic cultivators in the immortal city near the sect's territory. If she didn't improve her strength, she wouldn't be able to protect the sect and her disciples who were still inexperienced.

She then released the Yinshan Sparrow from the beast-taming bracelet her master had given her.

"It's much more comfortable inside than before?"

"There are absolutely no restrictions inside; I can fly freely and change size at will!" the Yinshan Sparrow described excitedly.

"We are now cultivating in Master's courtyard. You can go and play with Fire Feather Crane! But don't wander off while playing!"

"I understand, Master!"

Chen Jinshu then activated the formation, allowing the Yinshan Sparrow to fly out.

Only then did she take out the Azure Phoenix Pendant from her storage bag.

When the Yinshan Sparrow came out just now, she felt the movement emitted by this green jade pendant, which was obviously resonating with the bloodline in the Yinshan Sparrow's body.

To prevent the Yinshan Sparrow from being possessed by the remnant soul within the jade pendant, she had no choice but to release it.

The soul of a demon beast cannot possess a cultivator; at most, it can severely damage the cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness, but the demon beast's soul will also dissipate.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Chen Jinshu asked softly, pointing at the jade pendant.

However, the jade pendant remained silent for a long time.

After taking out the Pure Heart Lotus from his storage bag, Chen Jinshu immediately transformed one of its petals into white spiritual energy and sent it towards the jade pendant. The originally plain and unadorned Azure Phoenix Pendant finally burst into a dazzling azure light.

The remnant soul inside seemed to be absorbing the medicinal power to repair itself.

"Come out when it's been fixed."

Chen Jinshu was also treating her kindly this time because she had helped her and Yinshan Que in Tianyin Valley before.

In an instant, a tiny blue phoenix demon soul floated in front of her, only the size of a palm, its entire body extremely fragile.

"My remnant soul was severely injured earlier, and I was unable to speak. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for finding me the secret medicine to repair my remnant soul. However, the medicine's potency is still somewhat lacking. I can only maintain it for a quarter of an hour," the Azure Phoenix demon soul said in an extremely steady female voice.

"Are you a blue phoenix? How can you retain a trace of your soul after ten thousand years? Could it be that you also want to possess someone else's body?" Chen Jinshu asked suspiciously.

"Fellow Daoist, you jest! I am but a remnant soul, utterly incapable of wielding such power! I am only able to retain a remnant soul because of the Nirvana power of the Phoenix bloodline within me! But I cannot maintain this for long now, at most a hundred years or so, before it dissipates..."

"A century!"

"Fellow Daoist, don't think that a hundred years is a long time. For cultivators, it's just a blink of an eye."

Is there any way to remedy this?

"Yes! After a remnant soul is partially repaired, it can exist as a spirit within an object."

"A spirit weapon?" Chen Jinshu asked uncertainly.

"exactly!"

"Then why didn't you become the spirit of this jade pendant back then? Was there some concern?"

"Naturally, we haven't found a successor yet. If we become artifact spirits, we will be bound by them. How can we recreate the glory of our Azure Phoenix clan in the past?" Not long after the Azure Phoenix demon soul finished speaking, its ethereal body became even thinner.

Seeing this, Chen Jinshu refined another petal of the Pure Heart Lotus and threw it at the remnant soul.

After several dozen breaths, the remnant soul's condition improved somewhat.

"So you've found a successor now, haven't you? Has the Yinshan Sparrow received your inheritance?"

"Yes! However, its bloodline is still thin, and only a few of its inheritances can be uncovered!"

"In that case, you can become the spirit of the jade pendant!"

"But my remnant soul is not yet..."

Before Qingluan's remnant soul could finish speaking, Chen Jinshu refined all the remaining petals of the Pure Heart Lotus and then injected them into the remnant soul.

"Hurry and refine the medicinal power to restore your soul. Although this Pure Heart Lotus isn't enough to fully restore you, it can sustain you for a while. I'll wait until I find a restorative elixir!"

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

The remnant soul of the Azure Phoenix spoke to Chen Jinshu and then burrowed into the Azure Phoenix Jade Pendant.

Chen Jinshu's help to Qingluan's remnant soul was also driven by ulterior motives; after all, no one would help a stranger.

She needed guidance for the future growth of the Yinshan Sparrow, on how to evolve its bloodline and become the legendary Azure Phoenix.

Secondly, it was for her own sake. The Azure Phoenix Pendant had already recognized her as its master, and it bore her divine imprint and spiritual energy, making it unusable by others.

If this powerful artifact can give birth to a spirit, it will be easier to summon flocks of birds to fight enemies in the future. With the spirit summoning the flocks of birds, she can concentrate on dealing with powerful enemies.

This is yet another powerful trump card.

"I wonder how many spirit birds the Azure Phoenix Pendant can summon now?"

The Azure Phoenix Pendant in her hand should be the most precious treasure of the Azure Phoenix clan, but after countless millennia, its grade has dropped drastically. Now it is less than the fourth grade, only slightly higher than the protective jade pendant given to her by her master.
