Cold Clouds

Jiu once thought that he had found a man with the combat power of the Mahayana stage, but in fact it was Lin Xiaoxiao who had found them. He hoped that at least no one would find out before they left the ruins... It would be terrible if they were discovered. It would be scary to have so many people in the Fusion stage present.

Lin Xiaoxiao was looking forward to it and squatted aside, waiting obediently for the ruins to be opened.

By eavesdropping on the conversations around her and some people's flattery and attempts to make friends with them, Lin Xiaoxiao roughly understood what this relic was.

To put it simply, it is the remains of a relatively large sect in the extremely cold desert, called "Dengtian Xianlou". The treasures and skills it has are at the lower first-rate level at best, but it is said that there is a key that can open up an independent space, so so many people came here.

Opening up an independent space consumes a lot of mental and spiritual energy, but the magical key can easily create an independent space without any additional effort. This is undoubtedly a coveted rare treasure, which has attracted various forces to covet it, and they all want to give it to the clan or keep it for their own use.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao was not very interested in this. In contrast, she hoped to acquire some advanced skills. At present, the only useful skills she had were the spear skills taught by Mu Yingxiao, the magic skills mastered by Li Tianyuan, and the "Three Swords of Golden Sun", and at most one "Law of Heaven, Earth, Modified". As for those taught by Ye Yuxie, most of them were transitional techniques, and now they were gradually unable to keep up with this iteration.

She took some skills with her so that she could keep up with the version updates. Although she could also stay in the Medicine King Valley and try to upgrade her skills on her own, she was not confident about this.

It would be better to take some ready-made ones first. Lin Xiaoxiao yawned and took some fruits out of the mustard bag to eat. According to the conversation of the people next to her, there was still some time before the ruins were opened, so she began to cultivate her mental strength.

Lin Xiaoxiao's current mental power actually has almost no content of her own, and she is simply relying on her old capital. However, if she continues like this, her original strengths will become weaker and weaker, so she plans to train her mental power from now on.

A large part of the inheritance of the Lord of Medicine King Valley will be left to the lower realm when he ascends. Although Lin Xiaoxiao's current mental power can be considered to sweep the same level, it is only at the level of half a step into the fusion stage. When she cultivates her own mental power, then it can be said to reach another level of horror.

Lin Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, leaned against Yunhe, squinted her eyes and concentrated on entering the spiritual world. None of the monsters next to her dared to step forward to offend him. After all, Jiu Zeng was watching not far away. No one had the confidence to take action under Jiu Zeng's nose. Besides, Lin Xiaoxiao still had the Mahayana "protector". If anyone took action just for the bulging mustard seed bags on Lin Xiaoxiao's body, wouldn't that be courting death?

But it doesn't matter if someone really makes a move. She gave the key to Medicine King Valley to Xiao Shitou, and if anyone makes a move, Xiao Shitou will take her back.

What? You asked how the little stone got up here? Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know. She just woke up and found it buried in the ground. Maybe it was because the little stone didn't have any intelligence and was not considered a living creature, so it was brought up here. When the Medicine King Valley was divided, it might have been accidentally included in the area.

Before Lin Xiaoxiao ascended to heaven, the little stone would have shrunk and burrowed into the ground to sleep. It was probably about to awaken its spiritual intelligence. Fortunately, it awakened slowly, otherwise it would have been impossible to bring it up.

Lin Xiaoxiao's consciousness blurred for a moment, and then gradually became clear. What appeared before her was a vast ocean, which was the embodiment of all her mental power.

Lin Xiaoxiao extracted a lake from it. Although it was not small, it was indeed not as impressive as the ocean in front of her. This was the share of mental power that she had truly cultivated herself, at the level of an ordinary Divine Transformation Stage.

The spiritual power of a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage is just a drop of water the size of a finger joint, the spiritual power of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage is a water ball one meter long and wide, the spiritual power of a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage is a water ball with a radius of five meters, the spiritual power of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage is a long river, the spiritual power of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage is a large lake, and the spiritual power of a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage who has ascended to heaven after experiencing a heavenly tribulation is generally a vast ocean, but it is much smaller than Lin Xiaoxiao's state.

But isn't her own portion a bit too mediocre? Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched. She thought it would be at least a pretty good level of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, but it turned out to be so mediocre... Well, she didn't practice her mental power every day, so this seemed to be a reasonable result.

Okay, it seems that we need to speed up the progress. Lin Xiaoxiao found several methods of cultivating spiritual power from Li Tianyuan's pile of magic skills, which included books on the four stages of entry, advancement, entry into the hall and perfection.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao had never received any systematic education in mental power, so she chose to start from the basics.

Lin Xiaoxiao took some time to master the books from entry level to advanced level, but after practicing, she found that the effects were not particularly obvious.

Yes, advanced books usually only cover up to the Nascent Soul stage. Her mental strength at the Spiritual Transformation stage cannot be developed by these books.

All right. Lin Xiaoxiao, who originally wanted to take a break, reluctantly opened those advanced books.

Uh... Entering an ancient battlefield and fighting with mental power? She couldn't use her nerves. Lin Xiaoxiao took a look at it and threw the book into a corner, deciding not to read it again.

The next book is... uh... putting yourself into a huge test of mental strength, rapid progress but great risk? There is no need to take this risk yet... Lin Xiaoxiao put the book back and kept it for later use.

There are two more books. One is to improve mental strength by enduring the burning of the fire of mental power, and the other is to enhance one's own absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through acupuncture points and transform the spiritual energy into mental power. The two do not conflict and can be practiced at the same time.

Everyone present looked at Lin Xiaoxiao who was practicing with her eyes closed. No one dared to disturb her. Even Ling Xun, who wanted to take action, just turned his head away and snorted coldly without looking at her. He probably thought that out of sight, out of mind, so just don't look.

Jiu Zeng watched with a curious look on his face. He sensed it briefly and found that Lin Xiaoxiao's spiritual power was different from that of ordinary people. It seemed that different spiritual powers were fused together, and the fusion was very good. What method did she use? It really made people curious... Could it be some secret technique of the Kunpeng clan?

Lin Xiaoxiao felt that she had been in the spiritual world for about two hours before she was awakened by Yunhe.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoxiao yawned, and when she opened her eyes she knew what was going on, because the light cage covering the ruins was dispersing, "Oh...?"

The ruins are opened.
