Refining Ruins Cauldron

After returning to the side courtyard, Gu Qingyun locked himself in his room and practiced the "Spiritual Communication Technique".

We must hurry and learn a few basic skills, as long as we can mobilize our spiritual awareness to unexpectedly interfere with our opponents.

Even a fleeting moment can create an opportunity for one to make a move.

That's enough!

The night was deep and quiet, and the moon shone brightly.

The secluded courtyard was peaceful, but then an uninvited guest arrived.

A graceful figure in purple quietly arrived and landed on the courtyard wall.

The person who arrived was none other than Ziyan.

Given her domineering nature, how could she possibly listen to Wei Qianbo and endure it again and again?

Ziyan wants Gu Qingyun dead, and she can't wait even a quarter of an hour!

Since no one else can touch Gu Qingyun, then I'll do it myself!

The Foundation Establishment cultivation gave Zi Yan immense confidence, and before taking action, she specifically sent Elder Huo Qian away, so everything was ready.

Now, even if he alerts others, no one here can rival him!

Of course, Ziyan didn't intend to kill Gu Qingyun just like that.

After all, Gu Qingyun's current talent is enough to make the sect take him seriously.

However, this doesn't mean she can't act secretly.

All we need to do is sow the seeds of disaster, and when the competition breaks out tomorrow, this lowly servant will die at the hands of his opponent in an instant!

On the fighting stage, life and death are preordained, and no one can say anything about it, much less associate it with themselves!

There are countless ways for a Foundation Establishment expert to trip up a Qi Refining cultivator without anyone noticing!

Soon, Zi Yan released her spiritual sense, quickly covering the entire side courtyard, searching for Gu Qingyun's whereabouts.

……

Inside the room, Gu Qingyun practiced the martial arts manual over and over again, tirelessly.

However, spiritual consciousness is ultimately too ethereal and elusive; in the initial stages of cultivation, it is difficult to form a scale like spiritual power.

The beginning is always the hardest, and Gu Qingyun knew this all too well.

He didn't intend to give up, and tried again and again until he saw a breakthrough.

If you fail, try again.

My head was throbbing, so I took a break and tried again next time!

Even though he was covered in sweat and his clothes were soaked, Gu Qingyun showed no intention of stopping.

Finally, the emperor pays off.

After countless attempts, the pathways of spiritual consciousness finally began to take shape.

However, the passage is as narrow as a thread, belonging to the lowest and most basic state.

Gu Qingyun was still very satisfied and overjoyed.

But it showed no sign of stopping, continuing to operate slowly according to the "Spirit Forging Technique".

Little by little, bit by bit, he slowly expanded his spiritual energy vortex until it reached the size of a bowl, and then slowly stopped.

Now, Gu Qingyun can extend his spiritual perception to a range of about thirty meters.

The sounds of the surrounding plants and wind were perfectly reproduced in his mind, crystal clear and incredibly detailed.

This feeling is even more precise than what the eyes can see.

"Is this what spiritual consciousness is?"

Overwhelmed by the experience, Gu Qingyun was awestruck.

In the past, he used his eyes to exert spiritual power. If he used his spiritual sense, the accuracy would be improved by at least 50%!

And this is just the beginning; once you get the hang of it, the results will likely be even better!

Every bit of spiritual power is used where it should be used.

Gu Qingyun simply cannot imagine the power that can be unleashed at this level!

Having achieved basic detection and perception, Gu Qingyun stopped practicing the "Spirit Forging Technique".

Cultivation requires a gradual approach; one cannot be impatient for quick results, for you cannot become fat in one bite.

He focused his attention on "The Art of Spiritual Communication".

If the "Spirit Forging Technique" is a cultivation method, then this "Spirit Communication Technique" is an attack method, a tool.

Being able to disrupt the opponent and catch them off guard is exactly what Gu Qingyun needs right now.

"Come on, let me see just how difficult it really is!"

Gu Qingyun took a deep breath, recalling the incantation of the "Spiritual Communication Technique," and carefully guided his spiritual consciousness to condense it according to the incantation.

The first technique of "The Art of Spiritual Communication": Condensing Needles.

In layman's terms, it means condensing one's spiritual consciousness into needles and using them as a means of attack.

Having gained experience in controlling spiritual consciousness, Gu Qingyun's success rate was significantly faster this time.

Soon, a silver needle as thin as a hair floated outside the center of the forehead.

It is ethereal and intangible; without spiritual awareness, it is impossible to perceive.

Gu Qingyun wiped the sweat from his forehead with a smile on his face.

Although the silver needles were far from meeting the standards, it was already quite an achievement that they could be condensed at all.

With a thought, the silver needle shot out with a whoosh, its target being the teapot on the table not far away.

The expected breakdown did not occur, but Gu Qingyun was not discouraged; instead, he was secretly delighted.

With his spiritual senses, he could clearly see that there was a shallow dent on the teapot.

To the naked eye, it's impossible to see anything.

But you should know that this is an attack method that can directly damage spiritual consciousness. The fact that it can affect physical objects proves that it has been effective!

It's just that my spiritual awareness is too weak right now, so its power is not strong.

Once it reaches a certain level, the power of the condensed needles will definitely be no less than that of spiritual power in combat!

"It's good, but the energy consumption is..."

Gu Qingyun couldn't help but smile wryly. After releasing the condensing needles, he could clearly feel a sense of fatigue.

The energy vortex in my sea of ​​consciousness was also nearly 30% depleted just now!

In other words, given Gu Qingyun's current state, he can only release the Condensing Needle three times at most.

"That's enough."

Gu Qingyun smiled contentedly.

In a duel between masters, things often turn in an instant. If you can give yourself three more chances, and still can't seize them, then accept it.

This tactic is more about buying time for the Seven Star Sword Technique; Gu Qingyun wouldn't be foolish enough to rely on spiritual sense to defeat his opponent.

Not at least not now.

However, before Gu Qingyun could relax, a strange and cold spiritual consciousness quietly appeared!

This spiritual consciousness is exceptionally vast, far exceeding my own!

However, the technique was somewhat rough, not as delicate and meticulous as Nalan Feixue's.

Foundation building realm? !

Gu Qingyun frowned and quickly activated the "Spirit Forging Technique" to protect his sea of ​​consciousness.

The entry of spiritual consciousness into the body is no small matter.

If the other party has ill intentions, the consequences could be disastrous.

With a Foundation Establishment cultivation level and hostile towards him, Gu Qingyun locked onto his opponent almost immediately.

But now is not the time to dwell on these things; Ziyan is clearly not here to offer comfort and concern!

The powerful spiritual energy was ruthless and aggressive, attempting to invade Gu Qingyun's sea of ​​consciousness.

Before cultivating the "Spirit Forging Technique," Gu Qingyun would have truly had no choice but to surrender.

After all, Foundation Establishment is no match for Qi Refining, especially in terms of spiritual awareness; he is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

However, things were different this time. The Spirit Forging Technique gave Gu Qingyun many defensive measures.

If the quantity is insufficient, the technique will make up for it. At this moment, his sea of ​​consciousness is protected tightly, like a sturdy tortoise shell.

No matter how fiercely the outside world attacked, Gu Qingyun's sea of ​​consciousness seemed to be teetering on the verge of being torn apart at any moment, but it never showed any signs of collapse.

"Hmph! Heaven hasn't forsaken me, Gu Qingyun. Since you're so eager for a duel, then let's begin!"

"Condensing needle!"

After being beaten for so long, it's time to fight back!
