Refining Ruins Cauldron

A wisp of spiritual energy swept by, and Zi Yan instantly felt her mind become much clearer.

It was Wei Qianbo who naturally noticed his granddaughter's emotions.

"Yan'er, leave her to Grandpa."

Wei Qianbo did not speak, but transmitted his voice from a distance.

Upon hearing this, Ziyan nodded, her somewhat distorted expression returning to a gloomy one.

Wei Qianbo remained calm and composed, and no one knew what he was planning.

Beside her, Nalan Feixue put down her teacup, glanced at Gu Qingyun out of the corner of her eye, and looked back at him.

Mixed spiritual roots, or rather, five-element spiritual roots, may not be the useless spiritual roots that are rumored to exist at all.

As long as those with mixed spiritual roots can survive the early stages, their future potential will likely far exceed that of those with single spiritual roots.

Of course, this is just Nalan Feixue's speculation; we'll have to wait and see what happens.

If it's true, maybe my problem can be solved...

After leaving the arena, Gu Qingyun, as usual, found a secluded corner.

He quickly took a recovery pill to replenish the spiritual energy depleted in his body.

Burning Heaven consumes too much spiritual energy; even now, he has only recovered 70%.

With his eyes closed, Gu Qingyun savored the feeling of unleashing the Heaven-Burning Technique, simulating the state in his mind over and over again.

This was the second time he had used the Heaven-Burning Technique, and he had made great progress compared to the last time.

Even someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining would have no chance against that sword strike.

Even someone at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage would absolutely be unable to withstand a direct confrontation.

Unfortunately, it's still the same problem; it just takes time!

Heavenly-level cultivation techniques are incredibly powerful, but they also require a vast amount of spiritual energy to support them.

My current level is still quite weak.

If he were to encounter those exceptional talents from the outer sects, such as Ming Ji and Liu Wanqian, they would definitely not give him another chance to make a move.

Things have to change.

Either there are other auxiliary means, or we can think of other ways to delay the time.

His spiritual sense entered the Refining Ruins Cauldron again, and a familiar scene appeared.

And in the very center of the void, two orbs of light floated.

The Art of Spiritual Communication

Spirit Forging Technique

Both techniques were derived from a Yellow-Rank cultivation technique found on the body of that burly robber.

One is a method of attack, and the other is a cultivation technique, both based on spiritual consciousness.

Such techniques are extremely rare, even within the entire cultivation world.

Spiritual consciousness is mysterious and elusive to a cultivator.

You can't touch it, you can't grab it.

Similarly, it is much more difficult to cultivate.

Under normal circumstances, as one's spiritual realm increases, one's spiritual awareness will also grow.

However, if one understands the methods of cultivation, one can enhance one's spiritual awareness ahead of time.

The stronger one's spiritual awareness, the more refined and subtle one's control over spiritual power will be, thus unleashing greater power.

Moreover, spiritual awareness can enhance the five senses, and once it reaches a certain level, it can be projected outwards.

At that time, within a radius of a hundred miles, countless movements will not escape one's perception.

But that level was ultimately too far away for Gu Qingyun.

In addition, Gu Qingyun also obtained a lot of talismans from the robbers. He will deduce and refine them one by one, which will give him more trump cards.

Items refined and transformed by the Purple Qi of the Refining Cauldron are all, without exception, the finest in the world. Any one of them would be enough to drive cultivators into a frenzy of competition if placed in the outside world.

Naturally, Gu Qingyun didn't dare to make too much of a fuss.

It will not be used unless absolutely necessary.

"Both of these spiritual cultivation techniques are top-grade Heaven-rank techniques. With my current spiritual strength, it might not be easy for me to cultivate them."

Gu Qingyun smiled bitterly.

Although the Heavenly Rank is powerful, the difficulty of cultivating it is also extremely high.

As the foundation of spiritual awareness cultivation techniques, the "Spirit Forging Technique" naturally needs to be practiced in advance.

Once your spiritual consciousness reaches a certain level, combining it with the "Spiritual Communication Technique" will definitely produce unexpected results.

Both have nine levels and nine styles, and each breakthrough brings Gu Qingyun a qualitative leap.

In particular, the "Spirit Forging Technique" can even separate the spirit from the physical body and transform into the Three Pure Ones after being cultivated to perfection!

Just thinking about it made Gu Qingyun yearn for it.

"A Heavenly Rank cultivation technique, truly living up to its reputation."

As Gu Qingyun carefully studied the two cultivation manuals, he gradually became immersed in them.

The "Spiritual Communication Technique" directly targets the opponent's spiritual consciousness, rendering ordinary spiritual defenses completely useless.

If there are no other means, an attack on spiritual consciousness will at least cause the person to become disoriented and temporarily lose their senses. If the difference in spiritual consciousness is too great, it may even pierce through the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness, causing them to perish both physically and spiritually!

"If combined with other methods, this would be an absolute killer move, and it could also catch you off guard!"

Gu Qingyun thought of the Seven Star Sword Manual; wasn't this the best way to delay?

With the combination of the two, even if he is only at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, he is confident of victory, and not just a narrow one!

As Gu Qingyun studied the martial arts techniques, the martial arts competition on the arena continued.

One match after another, with wins and losses, and naturally, draws as well.

However, the shock of Gu Qingyun defeating his enemy with a single sword strike took root in everyone's hearts.

These competitions, in the end, still lacked something.

People would glance at the boy in the corner from time to time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, but Gu Qingyun was completely unaware and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

"Gu Qingyun of Tiandu Peak versus Liu Wanqian of Lingjian Peak!"

The news caused an uproar.

Both of them use swords, but the key is Liu Wanqian, who is truly the number one outer disciple of Lingjian Peak!

With his mastery of the Hunyuan Sword Technique, he has broken through formations and killed countless enemies, rarely suffering a defeat!

The last battle against Qian Tong of Cuiyu Peak is still unforgettable for everyone!

"Should we say Gu Qingyun is lucky or unlucky?"

"Three opponents, each stronger and more monstrous than the last!"

"Gu Qingyun's chances are slim this time. After winning two matches in a row, it's time for him to stop here!"

"good……"

This time, although everyone was saying it, their tone was not as certain as before.

All eyes were on the boy in the corner. Even though they were unwilling to admit it, they were all hoping in their hearts that another miracle might happen.

Finally, Gu Qingyun slowly opened his eyes, got up and walked towards the arena.

Step by step, the goal is to reach the center of the ring.

On the other side, the young man in blue robes did the same, his three-foot-long sword draped over his back, his gaze meeting Gu Qingyun's.

At this moment, it seemed as if one could see the glint of swords in the air, and everyone held their breath.

Which of these two sword cultivators is stronger?!

Just then, Liu Wanqian suddenly spoke up and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the referee elder.

"Elder, you are wise. Gu Qingyun has just been in battle, and his spiritual power has not yet fully recovered. How could I possibly take advantage of his weakened state?"

"This disciple proposes that the duel be postponed until tomorrow, until Gu Qingyun has fully recovered."

"This disciple will settle the score with him fairly and squarely!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Who would have thought that Liu Wanqian would make such a request on such an important arena as the outer sect competition?

The key point is that they're speaking up for the opponent!

"Has this guy gone mad?!"
