Jiang Ning put away his phone and thought of Xue Yuantong's face, he couldn't help but smile.
Just now, with the help of the swarming spiritual energy from heaven and earth, he achieved a wave of empowerment and broke through the fourth level of Qi training.
Those eye-catching cyan light pillars and roulette wheels disappeared.
It was shorter than he expected.
Feeling the full spiritual power in his body, Jiang Ning was quite satisfied. The rewards from the fourth level of Qi training were quite generous.
As a watershed in the Qi training period, breaking through the fourth level of Qi training can greatly improve mana, spiritual consciousness, five senses, and physical fitness.
Based on Jiang Ning's past experience, with the power of the fourth level of Qi training, the number of secret techniques that can be performed has increased again.
Especially, "the art of observing Qi".
This is a spell that Jiang Ning attaches great importance to.
Observing qi, observing qi, and observing the qi movement of the world, this is a magic that can only be controlled by the foundation-building realm.
However, if you have the assistance of the Spirit Gathering Formation, you can use the fourth level of Qi training to display the technique of observing Qi and observe the Qi movements of spiritual objects in the world.
Between heaven and earth, there are many derived spiritual beings, which are very likely to exist even in the real world, such as the 'empty crystal thread', a derivative of space.
Just one piece of 'empty crystal silk' can be refined into a storage ring.
Before reaching the foundation-building realm, there is no qualitative change in mana and spiritual consciousness, and the 'empty crystal thread' cannot be seen at all, let alone captured.
Ordinary monks in the foundation-building realm cannot obtain it, but Jiang Ning's control over magic power is so exquisite that as long as he uses a large formation as a supplement, he can perform the 'Qi Observation Technique' and then use secret techniques to complete the collection.
The ‘empty crystal silk’ is just an incidental thing.
Jiang Ning's core goal is to obtain the "Taiyi Cloud Essence".
From beginning to end, he never forgot Xue Yuantong's illness, blood cancer.
The cause of this disease is unknown. It is caused by many factors, even genetic factors. Although Jiang Ning usually puts some elixirs in the food that Xue Yuantong eats to nurse her body back to health, he is not sure whether Xue Yuantong died during her senior year of high school.
Will make the same mistakes again.
Although immortal cultivators have vast supernatural powers, they are not omnipotent. They still have physical problems such as baldness, and they rely on Evergreen Liquid to solve the problem.
Not to mention blood cancer, which involves deeper diseases.
If Jiang Ning himself suffers from this disease, after he breaks through the foundation building, his condition will be cured, but it is Xue Yuantong who is sick.
He didn't know what Xue Yuantong's spiritual roots were like, but Jiang Ning didn't want to let Xue Yuantong come into contact with cultivating immortals for the time being. The time was not coming.
He had already decided that he would keep Xue Yuantong safe.
Jiang Ning occasionally worries that his interference has disrupted the future and caused Xue Yuantong to fall ill in advance.
If Xue Yuantong really fell ill early, Jiang Ning would do his best to maintain her life with elixirs.
But that's just maintenance. No matter how optimistic you are, if you know that you have leukemia, a disease with a high mortality rate and extremely painful symptoms, you may not be able to smile.
With Jiang Ning's financial resources, he can indeed find a matching bone marrow for Xue Yuantong, but what if Xue Yuantong's bone marrow type is quite rare?
So Jiang Ning decided to look for the spiritual creature derived from heaven and earth - 'Taiyi Cloud Marrow'.
Avoid any surprises.
After taking it into hand, it can be tempered by spiritual fire and then introduced into the human body to replace her marrow and fundamentally prevent the occurrence of blood cancer.
Moreover, Taiyi Cloud Marrow, as a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, is of great benefit to the human body, including prolonging life.
'The earlier we obtain Taiyi Cloud Marrow, the earlier we can avoid Xue Yuantong's accident.'
'Even if you bear the risk of the spiritual formation being exposed, so what?'
Jiang Ning looked determined. He stepped down and his spiritual energy gathered on the small spiritual formation on the ground.
He used the Small Spirit Array as a dial and moved the Spirit Gathering Array. Vast and surging spiritual energy covered it and poured in. The spiritual light condensed and penetrated into the overwhelming spiritual energy.
Finally, it turned into a huge transparent prism as thin as a cicada's wing, as if it could break at the touch of a touch, with waves of aura flowing on its surface.
The prism was like a lens. Jiang Ning stood in front of the lens. The opposite side of the lens was clearly the brick-red wall of the villa. However, what he saw through the lens was a colorful halo, as if he was in another world.
Those haloes are not substance, but channels of energy emitted by various things.
He manipulated the small array, controlled the movement of the prism, observed and inquired about the surroundings, and kept scanning until he saw a dark qi machine.
That was the 'Kongxuan Crystal'. Jiang Ning wrote down its coordinates and then continued to search. What he was looking for was the 'Taiyi Cloud Marrow'.
Until noon, Jiang Ning was exhausted and still couldn't find it.
He took a Qi Gathering Pill and sat cross-legged on the terrace to meditate and recover.
"It is rumored that Taiyi Cloud Marrow is a spiritual creature derived from Yun Duo. Do we have to go to heaven to find it?" Jiang Ning thought.
"I haven't reached the level of foundation building yet, so it's a little difficult to go to heaven."
"That's all, the base of the spirit boat has been refined. Let's try it for now."
Jiang Ning's consciousness passed through the villa. There was a two-meter-long wooden board in the basement. In other words, there was already the prototype of a 'boat'. It would be more appropriate to call it a 'spiritual wooden board'.
He fired a stream of spiritual power, guided by his spiritual consciousness, and went around into the basement, carrying the wooden board over.
The green silk wood was divided into seventeen layers by sword energy, smoked and dried with spiritual fire, tempered, and refined with 'broken silver sand' and 'wisteria slime', and it has become extremely light.
At the same time, because Bilon wood is inherently hard, after being made in this way, its hardness and toughness are comparable to spring steel.
After Jiang Ning input his spiritual power, the spiritual board levitated slightly, almost hovering in the air without any shaking.
Because of this, Jiang Ning engraved a formation for transmitting spiritual power into it, so that it can accommodate a certain amount of spiritual power.
Jiang Ning swallowed another Qi Gathering Pill and continued to pump spiritual energy into it. At this time, he missed the days when there was no shortage of spiritual stones. At that time, he only needed to stuff the spiritual stones into the spiritual boat to ensure flight.
Jiang Ning did not rely on the spiritual stone, but relied on herself to fill the spiritual board with spiritual power.
When he regained his spiritual power, he performed a Qi Concealment Technique on himself and hid it together with the spiritual board.
Activating the 'Qi Observation Technique', controlling the prism to ascend to the sky, Jiang Ning then drove the spirit board to fly towards the sky.
The spirit boat has not yet taken shape, and its flying speed is very slow, about ten meters per second, as it slowly lifts into the air.
As we get further and further away from the ground, the temperature drops. With Jiang Ning's physical condition, there is no need to worry.
When they flew to an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, the temperature had already reached minus 10 degrees Celsius. Jiang Ning continued upward until he reached more than 3,000 meters, and the temperature reached minus 20 degrees Celsius.
A spectacular sea of clouds appeared in front of him, with layers of clouds and mist surging like waves and waterfalls, magnificent and boundless.
Jiang Ning had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery. There was only a weak connection between the prism formed by the 'Qi Observation Technique' and the spiritual power drawn by the spiritual power array below.
If it rose any higher, he was afraid that it would be broken directly. Without any further delay, he controlled the prism to explore the clouds.
Jiang Ning continued to scan, and finally saw a lightning-like qi machine between the clouds.
He pinched a spell and grabbed it at that location. The lightning bolt as big as the mouth of a spoon was caught in the palm of his hand.
Jiang Ning swept his consciousness and determined that this was the 'Taiyi Cloud Marrow'.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, Xue Yuantong was saved.
Throughout the afternoon, Jiang Ning went to heaven and earth to collect the 'Taiyi Cloud Marrow' to replenish his magic power.
As the sun set, he finally collected enough. After returning, he could use the spiritual fire to quench it and use it to replace Xue Yuantong's marrow.
On the last trip, at an altitude of three thousand meters, Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on the 'Spiritual Wooden Board'. He used the 'Qi Observation Technique' to rarely appreciate everything around him.
The prism kept moving, silky and smooth, but suddenly it slid, and Jiang Ning frowned.
He clicked on the prism, let it swim backwards, and looked at an area in the north again. That area was only about one meter square.
This time, Jiang Ning could see very clearly that the Qi here was not colorful, but pure black, which was an extremely black color.
Jiang Ning's expression was moved, which meant that there was no Qi of any object in this area, and it was a complete vacancy.
It's like being deprived of something.
"There are no immortal cultivators in the present world." Jiang Ning was extremely certain. He possessed the extremely rare Heavenly Spiritual Root, and with the help of the memory of True Monarch Nascent Soul, he was able to practice cultivation in a world lacking in spiritual power.
Apart from him, there will never be any more immortal cultivators. At this time, as the 'Nascent Soul True Lord', he made a judgment.
"But why is this scene so familiar?" Jiang Ning looked confused.
