Chapter 276: The Spiritual Charm Appears, and the Path to Alchemy Begins
Yun Yao is on the long road of completing system tasks, firmly pursuing the dawn of strength promotion. Each task is a daunting hurdle, but also a solid step for her growth.
The trip to the valley filled with miasma is still vivid in my mind. In the valley, the poisonous miasma is like a ghost, so thick that it seems to be substantial, blocking the vision and making it difficult to breathe. And the monsters that live here are even more ferocious and exude a bloodthirsty breath. When Yun Yao stepped into it, she encountered a monster that looked like a giant tiger but had wings. Its fur was burning like flames, and there was a ferocious light flashing in its tiger eyes. A roar was like thunder, shaking the valley. Its wings flapped violently, and a gust of wind was rolled up, mixed with poisonous miasma, whistling towards Yun Yao like a sharp blade. Yun Yao's face was solemn, but she was not afraid. She quickly cast a purification spell. A soft blue light bloomed from her palm, spreading like ripples, and wherever it went, the poisonous miasma dissipated. At the same time, she was agile and cleverly avoided the monster's attack. Then she used a sharp wind blade spell, which streaked across the sky like silver lightning and slashed at the monster. The monster felt pain and became more violent. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a blazing flame. Yun Yao was not in a hurry and summoned a water curtain shield. The flames and the water curtain met, stirring up thick fog. After a hard and arduous struggle, Yun Yao finally found the right time and cast a powerful binding spell to temporarily trap the monster. Then she successfully found the special spiritual herb and successfully completed the task.
After this battle, Yun Yao gained a lot. Not only did she receive generous rewards from the system, including rare elixirs and unique spell manuals, but her own strength was also tempered and improved in actual combat. She became more and more proficient in controlling her spiritual power, and was able to mobilize it more accurately, making it as easy as using one's arms. In the days that followed, Yun Yao devoted herself to the new system tasks.
One of the tasks required her to go deep into the ancient spiritual mine cave to find spiritual crystals containing pure spiritual power. The spiritual mine cave was dark and damp, with strange lights flickering on the cave walls. From time to time, loose stones would fall, making chilling sounds. What's more terrifying is that there is a kind of shadow fox that can hide in the cave. They are agile and good at sneak attacks. Their sharp claws and strange shadow attacks are hard to defend against. Yun Yao explored the cave carefully, always alert to the movements around her. She released her spiritual power perception, like an invisible net, covering the surrounding space. Suddenly, a weak shadow wave came, and Yun Yao was instantly alert. She dodged to the side, and a black shadow brushed past her shoulder. She shot out a light blade with her backhand, hitting the cave wall, splashing a spark. Then, several foxes appeared from all directions and pounced on her. Yun Yao quickly formed a seal, chanted something, and cast a defensive formation. A transparent light shield enveloped her. The foxes kept attacking the light shield, making sharp cries. Yun Yao responded calmly. She found the right time to break the defensive formation, and at the same time cast a powerful attack spell "Spiritual Radiance Shock". A dazzling light rushed towards the foxes like a meteor, repelling them. After a hard fight, Yun Yao finally found the spirit crystal deep in the spirit mine cave.
In another mission, Yun Yao needs to climb the misty Lingxu Peak to collect the Lingxu flowers growing on the top of the peak. Lingxu Peak is steep and rugged, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and the climate in the mountain is changeable, sometimes with howling winds and sometimes with heavy snow. Yun Yao climbed up step by step in the bad weather. During the climb, she encountered the guardian beast of Lingxu Peak - a huge thunder eagle. The thunder eagle's feathers were as hard as steel and flashed with blue lightning. It circled in the sky, making deafening cries from time to time, and then swooped down at Yun Yao, with its claws carrying powerful lightning power, grabbing her head. Yun Yao quickly propped up the spiritual shield and cast the "wind walking technique" at the same time, dodging like a gust of wind. The thunder eagle missed the attack and became even more angry. It flapped its wings and triggered a thunderstorm. Yun Yao was trapped in the storm, with lightning and thunder all around her, and her body was constantly hit by lightning. But she gritted her teeth, concentrated her energy, gathered her spiritual power into her feet, stabilized her body, and then performed the "Thunder Control Technique" to compete with the lightning power of the Thunder Eagle. In the interval of the storm, Yun Yao seized the opportunity and performed the "Lingxu Finger", shooting a finger of powerful spiritual power at the Thunder Eagle. The Thunder Eagle was unable to dodge and was hit by the finger. It screamed and flew away. Yun Yao continued to climb and finally reached the top of Lingxu Peak and successfully collected the Lingxu Flower.
As these tasks were completed, Yun Yao's strength steadily improved. She learned many new spells and skills, such as the "Shadow Step" that could conceal her figure, the "Spiritual Healing Technique" that could heal injuries, and the "Spiritual Explosion Rune" that enhanced the power of attack. She also had a deeper understanding of cultivation, realizing that cultivation was not only the accumulation of spiritual power, but also a tempering of her own state of mind, will, and understanding of the natural world. She began to try to combine different spells and skills to create her own unique fighting style.
During the practice, Yun Yao found that her spiritual power had begun to undergo some subtle changes. The originally loose spiritual power gradually became condensed, as if it had an inner rhythm. She could feel that her spiritual power was slowly transforming towards the Judan realm. Whenever she circulated her spiritual power, a warm current would flow through her body, like a trickle of water converging into a river. Wherever this warm current passed, the meridians seemed to be constantly widened and strengthened, allowing her to accommodate more spiritual power.
Yun Yao knew that this was an important sign of a breakthrough to the Judan realm. She was full of expectations, and she practiced harder. Every morning, she came to the spiritual spring on the back mountain of the sect, meditated in the mist of spiritual energy, and felt the spiritual power between heaven and earth slowly flow into her body and blend with her own spiritual power. During the day, in addition to completing system tasks, she would compete with other disciples in the sect's martial arts field, test her practice results through actual combat, and further improve her combat skills. At night, when everything was silent, she practiced in seclusion in her residence, carefully studying the precious skills and secrets borrowed from the sect's Sutra Pavilion, trying to find more clues and methods about breaking through the Judan realm.
During this difficult journey of cultivation, Chu Mochen always stayed by Yun Yao's side. They often gathered in the corner of the sect's garden after cultivation to exchange their progress in cultivation. Chu Mochen would share his experience in practicing a certain technique and how to break through when facing a bottleneck in cultivation. Yun Yao would also show Chu Mochen the anecdotes and new magic skills she had learned while completing system tasks. They encouraged and supported each other, and with each other's company, the road of cultivation was no longer lonely. When Yun Yao encountered difficulties in cultivation and was depressed, Chu Mochen would always comfort her softly and give her strength and confidence with warm words. When Chu Mochen encountered a bottleneck in cultivation and fell into confusion, Yun Yao would also use her wisdom and unique insights to give him advice and help him find a breakthrough.
During a conversation, Chu Mochen looked at Yun Yao, his eyes full of concern and expectation. He said, "Yun Yao, I can feel that you are getting closer and closer to the Judan Realm. The change in your spiritual power now is the critical period for a breakthrough. I believe that with your talent and hard work, you will be able to successfully break through." Yun Yao nodded slightly, her eyes firm: "Chu Mochen, with your company and encouragement, I am more confident. However, the breakthrough to the Judan Realm is not easy. I still need to work hard and not slack off at all."
As the days passed, Yun Yao moved forward more and more firmly on the path of cultivation. She constantly challenged herself, broke through her limits, and sprinted towards the Judan Realm. And the relationship between her and Chu Mochen, through these exchanges and companionships, was like a thriving spiritual tree, with its roots becoming deeper and its branches becoming more luxuriant. Although they had never had a straightforward confession or confession, the affection had already been entangled in each other's hearts, becoming their most precious bond and reliance in this world of cultivation.
