While eating melons and cultivating immortality, I felt soft after picking up the magic weapon.

Chapter 157: Retreat and Advancement
There is no time to cultivate immortality.

Qu Xinyou really realized this when she started refining the water spirit.

Shui Ling's majestic water aura forced her to keep refining, refining, and refining.

Fortunately, she had already reached the second level of the Shengsheng Flow Skill. Otherwise, based on her previous refining speed, with a spiritual energy as rich as water spiritual energy, she would definitely be too late to refine it and be exploded by the spiritual energy.

This refining process took another four years.

Her cultivation level also advanced directly to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

It took four years to refine the water spirit, and another half a year to stabilize it.

[Congratulations to Youyou for reaching the ninth level of Qi refining! 】

Yaya also floated around Qu Xinyou with a look of joy on her face.

"Congratulations...lord...man..."

"Ok!"

Qu Xinyou opened her eyes with a look of surprise.

Unexpectedly, refining the water spirit would allow her to jump three small steps in a row.

She circulated her spiritual power, played the finger formulas, and chanted the oral formulas, and a water shield appeared in front of her eyes.

"Sure enough." Qu Xinyou smiled.

After refining the water spirit, it would be easier for her to use any spells related to water attributes.

Not only that, but the water quality also seems to have changed.

If the previous water shield was made of ordinary water, it would be easily broken.

After refining the water spirit, the water shield becomes much tougher. With the same amount, it can withstand twice as much force as the original water shield.

Moreover, during the last six months of stabilizing her cultivation, she also performed the second level of the Life-Transformation Skill, but she clearly felt that the speed of incorporating spiritual energy had become faster.

Her spiritual root value should have increased.

"It seems that water spirit can really increase the spiritual root value."

No wonder so many monks are so crazy about chasing these things that gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
If her spiritual root value can reach above five, then the speed of cultivation will be faster. Even the qualification of five spiritual roots is not a problem at all.

It's a pity that spiritual objects like water spirits are too rare.

Qu Xinyou first took out the Moon Shadow Flag and adjusted his cultivation to the sixth level of Qi Refining. After recovering his spiritual power, he stood up.

[What are you planning to do? Why don't you go out and tell Zhenren Ye the good news about the advancement? 】

"Not urgent."

She still had unfinished business.

The first was the formation inheritance. She hadn't finished copying it yet. She touched Yaya who came close to her and then started to copy the inheritance in her mind.

After spending a month to copy the remaining inheritance and put it into the Qiankun Yuan, Qu Xinyou glanced at the spiritual plants in the spiritual jade space.

Purple Golden Vine and Purple Cloud Root happen to be the last batch, and after they are formed, there will be nothing left to plant.

After four and a half years, the four 10-year-old nine-flowered jade grass has now become the 55-year-old. After another half year, it will be the 60-year-old.

It was nice, but sixty years was considered low, and she hoped to at least start with a thousand years.

In the future, it is also best to plant some spiritual plants in the spiritual jade space that are more valuable the older they are.

Now that she is no longer in urgent need of spiritual stones, there is no need to plant ordinary spiritual plants.

After finishing the calculation, Qu Xinyou took out the basic book on the Spiritual Snake Silk Winding Technique and formations.

Since the cultivation level has improved, the body training cannot naturally fall behind.

There are also formations.

Now that she has received the inheritance of the formation, she naturally has to work hard to study the formation.

So Qu Xinyou spent the remaining six months refining his body and studying formations, and by the way, he learned all the spells in the basic Qi refining spell book he bought before.

I also learned how to fly with a sword. After learning all these, I finished reading the thin book on formations and most of the thick one.

In fact, you can continue to retreat, but you have been in retreat for five years, and there are still many things outside that have not been resolved, so you should get out of the retreat first.

Qu Xinyou unlocked the restriction and left the cave, and found dozens of musical notes placed outside the cave.

She crushed one of them, the one sent by Master Ye Zhenren.

"Xinyou, come out of seclusion and come to Shishi's place."

I crushed a dozen more in succession, but they were all unknown to me, most of them were outer disciples.

Because of her dazzling performance in the competition five years ago and the things she did, the outer disciples spontaneously regarded her as their senior sister.

The contents of these dozen notes are that these outer disciples want to join Ling Juefeng and express that they want to follow her.

Among them are the disciples who entered the inner sect with her five years ago, as well as those who entered the inner sect from the outer sect at the ninth level of Qi Refining before, and those who entered the inner sect this year.

Qu Xinyou didn't care.

After all, she couldn't make the decision about Ling Juefeng, and Ye Lin didn't like to accept disciples, so she would definitely not allow these outer disciples to join Ling Juefeng.

Followed by Yun Wei, Zhao Xianming, Yuan Yuan, Hao Lian, Ruan Shanyin and Ye Congyuan, as well as Meng Biqing.

There are several pictures of Yunwei, all of which express her longing for her and the fact that she is also working hard in cultivation, and sooner or later her cultivation will surpass hers.

Yuan Yuan also left a few notes for her, and the contents were pretty much the same, just to complain and talk about recent events in the sect.

But most of the talk is that the Inner and Outer Discipline Peak has reached the point where fire and water are incompatible, and they will explode when they meet.

"Has it reached this point?" Qu Xinyou thought thoughtfully.

She remembered what Zhenren Ye said before.

In fact, the sect leader had long wanted to merge the inner and outer peaks into one, but he lacked an opportunity.

Opportunity...

It seems that if she wants to overthrow the Inner Discipline Peak, she must think of an opportunity or create an opportunity.

Even if Zhenren Ye went to Discipline Peak to warn them before, so that they would not dare to deal with her again, she would not let them go.

In other words, she planned to take down the Discipline Peak to give a big blow to the high-ranking inner disciples behind the Discipline Peak.

They need to know that she is not someone to be trifled with.

However, there is still not much information about this matter at present, so let’s put it aside for now.

There was nothing special in the notes that Zhao Xianming and Hao Lian gave her afterwards.

Hao Lian just congratulated her, and then explained that he had been busy with something before, so he didn't congratulate her immediately, and said he would come back to her when he was free.

After Ruan Shanyin learned that she was in seclusion, he asked her to go find her when she had time out of seclusion, or send someone to tell her that she had a thank-you gift for her.

Needless to say, Ye Congyuan simply asked her when she would be released from seclusion. After advancing to the seventh level of Qi Refining, he felt that he would definitely be able to defeat Qu Xinyou, so he wanted to fight her again to prove his strength.

"Junior Sister Qu, I heard from Junior Sister Yuan that you have entered the inner gate. Congratulations. If you are free..."

Well, this note comes from Meng Biqing.

When she is free, she would still like to meet these people, or send them a note to communicate with them and establish a relationship.

As for Zhao Xianming's, it's a bit interesting.

"Junior Sister Qu, I have met many outer disciples at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, as well as some inner disciples who respect Junior Sister Qu. They are all good ones that I think are pretty good. If Junior Sister Qu needs someone to do something, maybe they can use them. superior……"

[Pfft, this Zhao Xianming seems to have misunderstood Youyou’s intentions! Could it be that he thought you were going to establish some kind of organization? It made me laugh so hard hahahaha! 】

Qu Xinyou is thoughtful.

"Perhaps it is possible to establish a force of one's own..."

【Ga? ] Guagua’s smile stopped abruptly.

I have received a lot of rewards, comments and monthly votes recently, and I am very happy, so I plan to give it a try and update it tomorrow!

If the rewards, comments and monthly votes continue to increase in the future, I will continue to update, I love you~
