Chapter 132 Closed-Door Cultivation
Fairy Yaoguang did not refuse and immediately used her fingers as a brush and her spiritual power as ink.
Two intricate and mysterious array diagrams were drawn in the air, and their key points were explained in detail.
Qin Xiao focused his mind on memorizing, combining it with his own understanding of formations, and quickly deduced and optimized it in his mind.
After an incense stick has burned.
Qin Xiao nodded slightly: "It's feasible. The necessary materials are all stored in the palace's secret vault. Even if there are any shortages, the Mu family's merchant guild can quickly procure them. Let's begin preparations today, and it should be completed within three days."
Over the next three days, Qin Xiao personally coordinated the materials and began setting up a complex array in the underground meditation room and surrounding area of Yangxin Pavilion.
Based on the spiritual power of the five elements, a stable array is constructed.
Fairy Yaoguang assisted from the side, offering suggestions for adjustments from time to time.
The two worked together more and more seamlessly. Often, as soon as Qin Xiao made a move, Yao Guang would know his intention and would hand over the necessary spiritual materials or cast an auxiliary spell at the right time.
The process of setting up a formation is itself a kind of philosophical discussion and practice.
Fairy Yaoguang was deeply amazed by Qin Xiao's mastery of formations and spiritual power control.
Qin Xiao was deeply impressed by the ancient formations that Fairy Yaoguang knew.
Once the last rune of the array was completed, spiritual energy surged in from the array's core, flowing and circulating along the pre-set trajectory.
Inside the quiet room, the dome above transforms into a miniature, deep night sky, with twinkling stars appearing out of thin air and slowly rotating.
The cool moonlight seeped out, like gauze or mist, enveloping everything.
Beneath the power of the stars and moon, the spiritual light of the five elements, like the earth, carries and circulates, transforming the pure and cool essence of the stars and moon into a gentler spiritual energy that is easier to absorb.
The invisible spatial barrier from the outside completely conceals the atmosphere inside, and the flow of time also slows down slightly.
"It's done."
Qin Xiao was satisfied with the operation of the formation.
This array is not as large as the star arrays of the Xuanji Pavilion during its heyday.
However, it is more than enough for the two of them to cultivate in seclusion.
Even in certain details, his integration of the Five Elements and spatial concepts adds a unique touch.
Surrounded by the familiar starlight and moonlight and the novel flow of the five elements, Fairy Yaoguang felt her spiritual energy spontaneously activating, her mind and soul clear, and she felt extremely comfortable.
She looked at Qin Xiao, her beautiful eyes sparkling: "Your Majesty possesses extraordinary talent in the art of array formations. This array is unique, blending ancient and modern techniques, and is of great benefit to cultivation."
"It's thanks to the fairy's guidance."
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "The formation is complete, and we've both reached our peak condition. Let's begin our seclusion today."
Fairy Yaoguang gave a soft "hmm".
This time, no further words are needed.
Unlike the first time they practiced together, this time it was a true confirmation of the Great Dao and a deep complementarity.
The spiritual power of the Five Elements encompasses all things, evolves into earth, fire, wind, and water, and constructs a stable foundation.
The moon's radiance and the power of stars are clear, cold, and lofty, guiding the mysteries of the heavens and penetrating the changes of the void.
Two streams of spiritual energy circulated repeatedly within their meridians.
Qin Xiao felt that his five elements spiritual power had become more refined and transparent under the influence of the moonlight and star power.
I also gained a more intuitive understanding of the power of space.
Silver-gray spiritual energy surged within his dantian, showing a faint tendency to grow stronger.
Fairy Yaoguang felt the five elements' spiritual energy nourishing her body, which was somewhat "unaccustomed" to the changing times due to her slumber.
The stagnation caused by the difference between the practice method and the environment of later generations was quickly smoothed out.
Even the bottleneck that hadn't loosened up in a long time began to tremble slightly.
At the level of the soul, the integration is even deeper.
Within the great formation, starlight, moonlight, and five-colored spiritual light completely merged.
It transformed into a magnificent sea of light, like the beginning of chaos, engulfing the two figures.
Within the sea of light, two auras rose at an astonishing speed.
Qin Xiao's nascent soul figure shone even brighter with its five-colored radiance, and a faint silver-gray starlight appeared between its brows.
The occasional, unconscious waving of her little hand caused slight ripples in the surrounding space.
The golden core of Fairy Yaoguang gradually turned from its original moon-white color to be tinged with multicolored rosy light.
As it rotated, it seemed to be showing a faint tendency to transform into a Nascent Soul!
……
Just as Qin Xiao and Yao Guang were in seclusion.
The external environment is also developing steadily and rapidly.
Luo Qingluan and Yu Qingyi managed the inner palace and outer courtyard in an orderly manner.
The newly delivered resources were categorized and stored, with some used for cultivation within the harem and others handed over to the Mu Family Merchant Guild to be converted into cash or exchanged for what they needed.
After rigorous examination and observation, more than thirty women from the outer court were initially selected for inclusion in the "inner court preparation" program, who possessed both excellent character and aptitude.
Mu Ziyan, Li Anning, and others took turns teaching them basic skills and spells.
The rest will continue their studies at the Foreign Languages Institute, with adjustments made based on their progress.
As one of the earliest "seniors" to submit, and being from Xiliang and familiar with Northwest affairs, Wuya took the initiative to assume the responsibility of subsequent handover and liaison with Xiliang, Beirong and other countries, and did a very good job.
Yun Li and other outstanding women from the first batch of Xiliang women have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage in cultivation.
She began assisting in managing the lower-ranking disciples of the outer academy, becoming a new force in the harem.
Yu Fengling was indeed determined. Under Luo Qingluan's supervision and Yu Qingyi's occasional guidance, she cultivated with exceptional diligence. Her control over the three elements of spiritual power became increasingly exquisite, and she even faintly touched the threshold of the mid-stage of Core Formation.
Li Changle's fire magic has become even more ferocious and under precise control, and when combined with her sister Li Anning's wind magic, its power is greatly increased.
On this day, Yu Fengling was sparring with a "Gengjin Puppet" in the late Foundation Establishment stage at the martial arts arena.
The three forces transformed seamlessly, forcing the puppet to retreat step by step.
"Snap!"
The final, condensed golden sword beam seized an opening in the puppet, piercing through its chest armor and exposing its spiritual core.
"stop!"
Yu Qingyi gave a sharp shout.
Yu Fengling stopped in time, without damaging the precious puppet core.
She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, her peach blossom eyes filled with excitement: "It worked! Qingyi, how long did it take me this time?"
Yu Qingyi, who was watching from the sidelines, glanced at the hourglass beside her: "It's almost half again as fast as last time, not bad."
Upon receiving approval from her usually strict cousin, Yu Fengling immediately beamed with joy.
Just then, Mu Ziyan strode over from the direction of the alchemy room, holding a jade bottle in her hands, her face beaming with joy.
"Qingluan, Qingyi, I did it!"
She handed over the jade bottle. "This improved 'Spirit Nourishing Pill' has a 30% higher success rate, and its effects are gentler and longer-lasting. It's remarkably effective at nourishing the soul of Golden Core cultivators. I've tried it, and there were no side effects!"
Yu Fengling took it and poured out a pill.
The elixir was pale purple, with a hazy, divine light on its surface, and a delicate fragrance.
The smell of it refreshes the mind and spirit.
"Ziyan, you've worked hard."
As Yu Fengling spoke, she couldn't help but praise, "This pill is just right. After my husband and Sister Yaoguang come out of seclusion, they may be able to use it to consolidate the spiritual essence they have gained."
Yu Qingyi, standing to the side, said speechlessly, "My husband is already a Nascent Soul cultivator, and Sister Yaoguang is also a Nascent Soul cultivator, but she has only temporarily recovered to the Golden Core stage. This pill will be useless to them, won't it?"
"Then, my husband should see it too."
Yu Fengling said.
Mu Ziyan said modestly, "It still needs my husband's approval before it can be promoted."
