Ball Ball Cultivation

He practiced the exercises, absorbing spiritual energy and compressing spiritual power, repeating the cycle over and over. Over an untold amount of time, the spiritual fluid within his dantian became increasingly condensed, and his dantian slowly expanded due to the spiritual energy, yet there was no sign of a pill forming. This was when the benefits of physical training became apparent. His tendons and veins became strong, and his dantian barrier was solid, allowing him to continuously circulate the Qi. This retreat room was previously used by the Second Elder, a place for Nascent Soul cultivators to retreat. Imagine how rich the spiritual energy was! For Qiuqiu, who needed a large amount of spiritual energy to form a pill, it was just enough.

Fortunately, I set up three layers of spirit gathering array before the retreat. The ball, which was wrapped in spiritual energy like a cocoon, was still absorbing spiritual energy with all its might!

The ball, enveloped in layers of spiritual energy, was also feeling very uncomfortable. The chaotic spirit body absorbed spiritual energy too quickly, leaving it no time to refine it. This caused the spiritual energy to rush around, stretching its tendons and veins even wider. Some broke inch by inch and then recovered. The dantian was also expanded to a certain extent by the spiritual energy. Just when the ball could no longer hold on, a blue light flashed from its kidneys. This light restored the everted tendons and veins to their original state, completely calming the swollen dantian. Finally, it flowed into the semi-solid spiritual liquid that enveloped the dantian, slowly shrinking, and finally becoming a golden elixir with a blue glow. The body ushered in an indescribable sense of comfort! The spiritual energy from outside entered the body even more frantically, and the golden elixir slowly grew larger. The ball looked inward at the dantian and smiled happily, his mind slowly relaxing.

"You little girl, you haven't been home for so many days, and you still have your parents come to look for you. You are still angry with your father!"

"No, I was out collecting samples when my phone fell off a cliff, and I didn't get in touch with you in time."

Qiuqiu said a little embarrassedly.

Seeing that his daughter was safe, Xu Qingmei's father had no heart to blame her. He pulled Qiuqiu over and talked to her for a while. In addition to caring about her safety and expressing his longing for her, the most important thing was to ask her to plead for Qin Lan, saying that he was almost a sinner because his mother had a bad temper and he could not contact her.

The gathering mission was almost complete, and Qiuqiu returned home with her father, showered with love and affection. Qin Lan held Qiuqiu's hand and said, "Don't feel burdened. No one is forcing you to have a baby. Your grandfather and the ancestors are going out together, and maybe they can find a teleportation array to other cultivation realms. This way, you won't feel any pressure!"

When Qiuqiu heard the child, he was in a trance for a moment, and then his attention was attracted by his grandfather's whereabouts.

The days that followed were simple yet fulfilling. With nothing else to do, Qiuqiu planted herbs with his grandmother, easily explaining how to grow each one. He also discovered that his spiritual energy was particularly thin, and his cultivation was slow. This didn't seem right. On reflection, he realized his spiritual energy had been thin since childhood. Sometimes, he thought he could set up a high-level spirit gathering array. Many ideas flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp them.

After vacation, Qiuqiu returned to school to continue his graduate life. One day, Qiuqiu needed a plant sample, which was available in the local botanical garden. When he arrived, the warehouse keeper had not yet arrived. Qiuqiu walked back and forth in a quiet corner of the botanical garden waiting. He heard a child crying not far away. Qiuqiu followed the sound and saw a little boy of five or six years old. He had red lips and white teeth and was incredibly beautiful. He immediately went over, squatted down, took out a tissue to wipe his tears and asked, "Little boy, why are you crying? Is there anything I can help you with?"

The child sobbed in grievance, "My mother is missing. I miss her so much, wuwu..."

In an instant, the scene in front of him shattered, and Qiuqiu finally woke up from the illusion. He was forming a pill, and his sea of ​​consciousness expanded several times.

The golden elixir was round and smooth, the size of an egg, and golden in color. His sea of ​​consciousness also slowly expanded as he was overcoming the inner demon tribulation. Listening carefully, he could hear Xuan Shen's sobbing from outside the room, as well as the comforting voices of Bai Yi and Bai Er.

Qiuqiu shouted to the outside world: "Xuan Shen, don't cry, mother, I am in seclusion, Xuan Shen, Xuan Chen must listen to his brother and sister, I will come out soon."

Xuan Shen immediately wiped away his tears: "Mother, my little brother and I were very obedient and didn't cry. It was just that I had a dream that mother didn't want us anymore, so I cried a little. We will practice well."

Qiuqiu was silent in his heart: "Bai Yi, take care of your brothers and sisters to practice well, I want to go into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation. Don't worry, I have successfully formed a pill!"

Let’s not talk about the four little ones going back safely for now.

Qiuqiu was filled with emotion. He had spent over a year in the real world, and over a year here as well. Adding in the training accumulated during his Dan-forming stage, two years had already passed. Reality was the most terrifying inner demon. Real life, the real self, it was difficult for people to escape from their real lives. This was both a tribulation of the inner demon and a test of Dan-forming. It was the affection of family, the love of a mother, that awakened him. He had the courage to face his true self. His path was to protect those who loved him, and those he loved. A myriad of thoughts flooded his mind, his state of mind elevated significantly, his consciousness becoming more focused.

He needed to quickly consolidate his cultivation. The Golden Core Stage techniques had already emerged within his sea of ​​consciousness. To achieve a fetus, he needed to comprehend the meaning of wood. Everything else would progress gradually. Thanks to his unremitting efforts, his Star Body Refining Technique had reached the mid-third stage, a small step above his current cultivation level.

Half a year later, Qiuqiu finally came out of seclusion. His cultivation was basically stable, and the rest had to be consolidated through continuous fighting.

Bai Yi and Bai Er are both in the late stage of foundation building and have become much more stable. Xuan Chen and Xuan Shen have shed their childishness and have become smart and sensible.

It's worth mentioning that the projectable communication jade developed by Bai Yi and several elders is basically successful, but its stability is still a little lacking and the cost is too high. If it were a simple interstellar mobile phone, the cost would be less than one percent, so research is still ongoing!

In the evening, the family gathered for dinner, cooking together and happily enjoying the feast. They had a brief understanding of the past two years. When it came to Xuan Shen, he said distressedly, "My eldest brother said that only when this Wuxiang Liu develops spiritual intelligence will mother come out of seclusion. However, it still can't speak."

After saying that, he took out the gray vase from the space and muttered to the vase: "Xiao Xiangxiang, say something. If you don't speak, I will never talk to you again."

Qiuqiu and the others all looked over, studying it with great curiosity. They looked at each other, activated the formation, and returned to the space together. They called Huahua, Xiaohuang, Xiaozi, and Xiaojiuyou Momingshu over for a meeting.

In the middle is a willow in a gray vase. Due to its special living conditions, this willow grows only one circle every year and has become quite thick.

In addition to sharing their cultivation experiences and interesting life stories, everyone was discussing the Wuxiang Liu. Xiao Zi was the first to speak: "I also want to enter this vase. It feels very tempting to me."

The Nine Nether Demonic Tree also expressed a similar wish, and everyone was confused.

Xiao Huang was the most knowledgeable and said, "Huahua, isn't this Chaos Rock and Xirang, the best culture medium for spiritual plants, immortal plants, and even divine plants? It has a natural attraction to vegetation."

Huahua checked it out and said, "Yes, originally this Chaos Rock had lost its activity and couldn't transform Chaos Qi. It was Xuanshen who used the blood of a divine beast and signed a partnership contract. This was done in the space. I helped a lot. With the combined effects of Xirang and Wuxiangliu, its activity was slowly restored. Now it can also support the growth needs of this little willow branch. It will slowly recover after hundreds of years. This vase has a lot of space, Xiaozi and Xiaojiu can also squat in it to accelerate your growth."

Xuan Chen asked on behalf of Xiao Jiu, "Can't we go any faster? Xiao Jiu's injuries haven't healed yet. He said that if we enter now, he can recover in less than ten years."

Before anyone else could speak, a soft and sticky voice rang out in Xuan Shen's mind: "No, no!"

Xuan Shen was startled and asked sharply, "Who? What's that sound?"

Everyone looked at him, "Mom, there was a voice in my head that kept saying - No!"

Everyone took a look at it this time and asked, "Is it your Xiao Xiangxiang?"

Xuan Shen's mind rang out: "Not Xiao Xiangxiang, I'm not Xiao Xiangxiang, it's so ugly!"

"You refused to talk to me just because the name Xiao Xiangxiang was unpleasant. I always thought you had no intelligence. Mother has come out of seclusion and feels you are useless, so she gave the vase to Xiao Zi and Xiao Jiu."

"No, no, I'll be good, I'm your little Xiangxiang."

"When can you speak? When can you turn into a little doll, a little doll like Xiao Zi?"

"It will take a long time. I will work hard to grow up. Don't despise me. I will be very useful when I grow up. I will work for you obediently."

"That's pretty much it!"

After a crushing negotiation, Xuan Shen said happily, "Big brother is really amazing. He said that if Xiao Xiangxiang could speak, mother would come out of seclusion. He really didn't lie to me. Xiao Xiangxiang is very well behaved now and will work for me obediently in the future."

Qiuqiu just thought that the children had grown up, but now their funny nature is revealed again.

After some discussion, Qiuqiu asked Huahua, "Is there any way to speed up the restoration of the Chaos Rock Vase's activity?"

"Keep it by your side while you practice. It's best to practice your initial Tai Chi skills, which can generate a trace of Chaos Qi, which is the best nutrient for Chaos Rock."

"Okay, then I practice Tai Chi for an hour every morning. How long will it take for the results to show?"

"Applying this Chaos Energy to Chaos Rock is like a hungry person encountering delicious food. Once it's full, it will become active, which will have a certain impact on the Chaos Rock. I don't know if it's good or bad, but it may take as little as half a year or as long as a year. This rapid recovery is beneficial if the Chaos Rock was originally of good quality. However, if the Chaos Rock was originally of poor quality, it will be irreversibly damaged, and a slower recovery will be more stable."

Qiuqiu looked at Xuanshen and stroked his soft fur: "You decide for yourself. Xiaohui is your little friend now. Do you want mother to help you quickly restore Xiaohui's vitality? Mother will listen to you!"

The cute little son had a solemn expression on his face. "Mother, I want Xiao Hui to recover quickly. I believe it was originally a very pure, high-quality Chaos Rock. Xiao Hui, Xiao Tu, and Xiao Xiang Xiang have become one. I can sense their desire for Chaos Energy!"

"Okay, Mommy promises you. Tomorrow morning, you bring Xiao Hui to see me. You practice physical training while I practice Tai Chi!"

Xuan Shen: I’m so happy that I can see my mother every day.

Then Qiuqiu asked everyone about their next plans. Qiuqiu said that he needed to go out and gain some experience, and asked for everyone's opinions.

Bai Yi: "Mother, in half a year, the Duobao Pavilion's largest auction, held every hundred years, will be held at our headquarters. There are many rare and valuable items in it. Let's attend the auction before going out to train, shall we?"

Everyone looked at Qiuqiu with burning eyes, and Qiuqiu readily agreed that he could use half a year to brush up on his skills in alchemy, talisman making, and array formation. It just so happened that he also needed to earn some spirit stones. Alas, it's not easy to support a family!

"Bai Yi, do you still have points? Can you help me exchange some high-level pill recipes, talismans, and formation jade slips above level five? We can't just sit there and eat up all the money!"

"I have enough points. I've already collected some. Let's see if there's anything missing. I'll go and redeem them!"
