Nascent Soul Rebirth: Starting as a Wizard

Step 4: Circulate the cultivation technique and refine it back to its original state.

He immediately followed the profound principles of the first chapter of the "Taihao Yangyuan Jing" to guide these mottled nascent spiritual energies to slowly circulate along specific meridian routes.

This top-level cultivation technique is now showing its value. It not only provides the optimal energy flow path, but its mental cultivation method also has the miraculous effect of harmonizing different spiritual energies and refining impurities.

Under the guidance of the cultivation technique, the spiritual energies of different attributes began to be sorted out and harmonized, and the violent conflicts were calmed down.

Impurities are gradually stripped away during operation and expelled from the body through the pores, transforming into almost invisible fine dirt.

Step 5: Violent extraction to condense the air vortex.

However, guiding absorption step by step is too slow!

A fierce glint flashed in Solo's eyes; he was no longer satisfied with a slow and steady approach.

His powerful spiritual sense erupted at full force, instantly connecting and amplifying all the pre-set "guiding pathways," forcibly distorting the local flow of spiritual energy in the central area above the cave.

It forms an invisible yet much more efficient funnel-shaped "spiritual consciousness vortex" centered around him!

"Buzz—!"

The cave seemed to tremble slightly! The glowing moss and fungi on the rock walls suddenly dimmed!

The rich spiritual energy in the air seemed to be violently stirred by an invisible giant hand, becoming restless and agitated.

Countless streams of spiritual energy were forcibly stripped and drawn from the rock walls, water, and air, surging wildly into the center of the vortex.

After being highly compressed, it transformed into a torrent of spiritual energy dozens of times thicker and more turbulent than naturally guided energy, which crashed down on Solo!

"boom!"

A larger amount of spiritual energy was forcibly injected into the body, and the impact increased sharply! The swelling and pain from the meridians became more intense, and the conflict between the four types of spiritual energy became more obvious, with various sensations such as cold, heat, stinging, and numbness intertwined.

Solo's body trembled slightly, but he remained as steady as a rock.

The powerful spiritual consciousness instantly split into countless streams, like the strictest overseers and the most skilled guides, precisely controlling the direction and speed of the torrent in the meridians, ensuring that it followed the route of the "Taihao Yangyuan Jing" while protecting the meridians from damage to the greatest extent possible.

If it weren't for the constant use of internal energy to unblock the meridians, this body, with its unruly nature, wouldn't have been able to withstand such an impact.

Spiritual energy refining efficiency skyrockets!

The mottled spiritual energy transformed by the spiritual root rapidly circulates, is tempered, and merges within the cultivation path.

Impurities are constantly being removed, properties are gradually being harmonized, and the product becomes increasingly pure and docile.

Finally, when this initially refined spiritual energy flowed back into the dantian, it had already shed most of its frenzy and impurities.

The first wisp of pure spiritual energy sank into the bottom of the dantian, like the first pebble thrown into a still lake.

Immediately afterwards, the second, the third... stream of refined spiritual energy flowed in.

They no longer disperse, but slowly gather and swirl in the dantian.

Time passed in silence and the surge of energy.

The spiritual energy within the cave was thinning at a visible rate, the luminous creatures were withering, the rock walls were losing their luster, and the "vitality" of the entire grotto was rapidly declining.

For a whole day and night, they frantically absorbed and refined the energy without sleep.

When the spiritual energy accumulated in the dantian reaches a certain critical point and spontaneously begins to slowly rotate around a core, forming a small but stable, self-operating "vortex"—

"Click..."

A soft, crisp sound, seemingly originating from the depths of his soul, rang out. Solo's aura suddenly shifted!

A faint yet vibrant aura, distinct from the internal energy of martial artists, the life seed of knights, and the spiritual runes of wizards, emanated from the air.

As more impurities are expelled from the pores, the skin subtly reveals a jade-like, understated luster.

The five senses instantly became exceptionally sharp, able to clearly capture the ripples and vibrations of water droplets falling in the distance, and even "see" the trajectory of dust particles suspended in the air.

The Qi Sea is newly formed, and the first layer of Qi Refining has been completed!

He slowly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance appearing briefly before returning to the calm of a deep pool.

Feeling the tiny, self-rotating vortex within his dantian, and the faint yet real spiritual energy flowing through his body, even with his mindset as a Nascent Soul cultivator from his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a slight ripple.

Embarking on the path of immortality once more, despite starting from humble beginnings, I have finally taken this crucial step.

However, as his gaze swept around, that slight ripple quickly turned into a deep, indifferent silence.

It was as if they were already used to this kind of scene.

The cave before us is completely unrecognizable.

The once hazy and dreamlike glimmer of light has almost completely died out, leaving only a few scattered points barely clinging to life. The rock face is dry and gray, with many tiny cracks appearing.

The spiritual energy in the air was so thin that it was no different from that in ordinary mountain forests outside, and even seemed somewhat "hollow" due to excessive extraction.

The pool below was still and lifeless, devoid of any spiritual activity.

The entire spiritual cave has suffered severe damage to its vital energy. The structure of the spiritual energy circulation has been violently destroyed and is on the verge of collapse. Even after a long period of time, it will be difficult to restore it to its former state.

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs..." Solo murmured to himself, his voice echoing in the silent cave, carrying a complex sigh.

For the sake of their own cultivation, they forcibly extracted the essence of this small spiritual cave, causing its spiritual energy to dissipate, and the creatures here (such as the luminous fungi and mosses) will wither away as a result.

What is the essential difference between such actions and those powerful Nascent Soul cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm back then, who, in their pursuit of ascension or longevity, did not hesitate to extract the last remaining dragon veins of the human realm, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to further deplete and all things to wither?

It's simply a matter of scale.

In the pursuit of transcendence and immortality, the plunder of the resources of heaven and earth seems to be an inescapable destiny.

As long as sages live on, great thieves will not cease; as long as cultivators continue to exist, heaven and earth may be harmed.

Despite their feelings of regret, they didn't stop taking action.

His gaze swept over a corner of the cave, where several plants grew that depended on the rich spiritual energy and moisture of the place for survival.

Three of the older, mature "Ghost Water Orchids" (which may have other names in this world, but have similar properties) have been eaten by the demonic serpent, leaving only their remnants.

Only one "Cold Mist Grass" survived, which was still a bit immature and lacked maturity.

Solo stepped forward, took out the dozen or so low-grade water and earth attribute magic crystals he had obtained from killing the demonic serpent, held several in each hand, and used the weak spiritual power he had just refined, combined with his spiritual sense, to forcibly activate the spiritual energy within the magic crystals!

"Buzz..." The magic crystal's light flickered, and the spiritual energy inside was roughly extracted, transforming into a mixed but substantial stream of spiritual energy, which, guided by Solo, was directly poured into the Frost Mist Grass!

This is an unorthodox method used in the cultivation world to accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs. It usually involves great losses and easily damages the medicinal properties, but Solo couldn't care less about that at the moment.

The Cold Mist Grass visibly plumps up, the cold mist patterns on the leaves become clearer and deeper, and its medicinal power rapidly rises to the mature standard.

Once all the magic crystals had turned into grayish-white powder, Solo immediately and carefully stored away the mature Frost Mist Grass.

Having done all this, he didn't linger. He took one last look at the now "dead" spiritual cave, then leaped into the deep pool once more.

His protective aura lit up, though it was much dimmer than when he came down, but it was enough to support him to rise quickly.

Our journey to the bottom of Moonlight Pool has now come to an end.

He took with him his nascent spiritual power, a spiritual herb that had been accelerated to maturity, and some magical beast materials.

What remains is a completely depleted spiritual cave and a sigh that drifts into the emptiness.

The journey is long, and this is just the beginning.
