Refinement continued...
As time passed, and when her spirit energy was exhausted again, the essence of heaven and earth was still only a tenth of its original strength.
Qian Zi, who had completely lost her spirit energy, fainted once again.
Xiao Qianhan was still in her refining posture, but the amount of spirit energy being released from her hands was much less than before.
However, she did not stop.
In the next second, the blood in her body started to transform into spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy coming out from her hands became even larger.
The refining continued. Time no longer mattered to her. In her eyes, there was only the essence of heaven and earth, which was still floating in the air and had not completely refined itself.
At this moment, it was as if everything had returned to ancient times, and only she and that piece of essence of heaven and earth existed in this world. The two of them relied on the weak spirit power necklaces to undergo an extremely weak change.
After an unknown period of time, Xiao Qianhan felt that her skin was becoming dry and rough. It was as if her life was gradually leaving her.
However, she still had no intention of stopping. This was because a furry little claw had suddenly appeared behind her back. Even though it was very small, it was extremely strong. The moment the little claw pressed against her back, the spirit energy in her hands immediately recovered its initial strength, and the progress of refining the essence of heaven and earth also abruptly sped up.
Even her complexion seemed to have recovered a bit.
She slowly turned her head and smiled at Xiao Miao, who was behind her, and once again focused on refining the essence of heaven and earth!
Finally, after another two hours had passed, the essence of heaven and earth was completely refined and turned into a milky white liquid that floated in the air and freely changed its shape.
Seeing that, Xiao Qianhan's mouth revealed a satisfied smile. She had finally refined it!
"Meow." Behind him, Xiao Miao meowed, meaning 'I'm sleepy, I need to go back and sleep'.
Xiao Qianhan nodded, then disappeared in a flash of white.
Once again, he looked at the milky white liquid in the air and Xiao Qianhan took out the piece of metal.
Although refining the metal using essence of heaven and earth still required spirit energy, the amount of spirit energy needed to refine the essence of heaven and earth was not even worth mentioning. She could swallow a few pills without a problem.
Beat the iron while it's hot!
She directly fused the metal piece into the essence of heaven and earth's liquid.
In the next second, her face lit up.
The essence of heaven and earth that had just entered the liquid state quickly turned soft at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this rate, it wouldn't take long for the metal to melt completely. At that time, if he were to take out the broken sword and refine it together, he would definitely be able to perfectly restore the broken sword to its original state!
However, after yet another quarter-hour had passed, Xiao Qianhan frowned slightly.
Although the metal was softened very quickly, until now, there was no sign of it melting. Other than softening, there was not even any change in its previous shape!
Could it be that essence of heaven and earth was unable to refine the metal?
She stared at the liquid that was wrapped in metal and carefully probed with her senses.
As long as the metal piece melted, it would only take a few seconds for her to finish refining the broken sword.
However, if the metal was unable to melt, then everything was just talk.
After a long time, she retracted her spirit energy with a bitter expression on her face.
He was sure that essence of heaven and earth could refine the metal plate, but they were still missing something, so the metal plate did not change further. As for the missing item, she could faintly guess that it was some extremely scorching flame. This was because she could feel that what was missing was an extremely high temperature. This level of temperature was something that ordinary flames simply could not match. Even in her previous memories, she had never seen such a flame before. Of course, there were some legendary flames that she had never seen before, so she was naturally unable to estimate their temperature.
He could confirm that as long as there was sufficient temperature for the raging flames, the piece of metal would be completely refined!
However, where could he go to find those scorching flames that possessed an extremely high temperature?
Even without her spiritual energy, it would not change at all. As long as the flames appeared, she could continue refining the metal. This gave her quite a bit of time to find the flames. However, it was not clear how long this situation would last.
She placed the ball of milky white liquid in a safe place, and then, after settling Qian Zi down, she instructed the sword spirit not to disturb Qian Zi, and left the Thousand Cauldron Seal.
When she came out, she found that the night was almost over. The sky was slightly white, and it would soon be dawn.
Since she didn't have time to sleep, she decided to just sit down cross-legged to rest.
Refining it in one night not only depleted her spirit energy, but also burned a portion of her blood. Moreover, that process was irreversible. In other words, while blood could turn into spirit energy, it could not use spirit energy to create blood.
The lost blood could only slowly recover over time.
Fortunately, the strength of her soul far exceeded that of an ordinary person's, and her blood's recovery speed was also much faster than an ordinary person's. The blood he'd consumed last night would completely recover in less than a month or two.
In addition, a night of refining was not without benefits to her. Not only did she feel the method of refining the metal piece and completely exhaust her spiritual energy, but her meridians also expanded with pressure. At the same time, the output of spiritual energy was three times greater than before. This meant that the power of each of her moves had increased threefold.
Three times was not a simple superposition. If she had been able to pierce through the gray-robed man with a single sword strike, then not to mention three gray-robed men, even thirty of them would have been killed with a single sword strike.
Triple was an increase in strength, and it wasn't something that could be made up for by numbers.
This increase alone was enough to make her in a very good mood!
By the time the sun rose, the spiritual energy in her body had already recovered to fifty percent.
If nothing unexpected happened today, there would be many people challenging the Su Clan. She would be very busy.
Therefore, she didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she stayed in her room to recover her spiritual energy until the start of the conference.
The moment the door was pushed open, a pair of pitch-black eyes entered his sight. However, his black eyes were not filled with the gentleness of the past. Instead, they were filled with a deep seriousness. Under the seriousness, it was hard to conceal the worry on his face.
Xiao Qianhan smiled and said to Yun Mojin: "It's fine, I was focused on concocting pills last night, so I cultivated for a bit too long and forgot to control my spirit energy."
Yun Mojin didn't say a word. She just looked at Xiao Qianhan and her pair of black eyes seemed to be able to see through Xiao Qianhan.
Xiao Qianhan was not a match, after being stared at for a few seconds, she looked away guiltily, and walked out.
"In the future, don't be so reckless." Yun Mojin's mouth did not move.
