Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 285 Bai Ni Mansion
The former site of Shuixiaohai.

Ning Fusang stood on the seabed, with bubbles and small columns of water bubbling out.

A school of orange, arrow-shaped fish swam past her.

"Is this your old cave dwelling?" she asked Bai Ni.

Bai Ni landed on the ground, raised her sleeve and waved, opening the stone door to the cave. "Come in."

Thick seaweed grows at the entrance of the cave, swaying wildly in the wind. Inside, there is a barrier that prevents water from flowing in.

Bai Ni's cave looks ordinary from the outside, but once you go inside, it's a completely different world, a vast space that resembles an underwater palace.

But along the way, there were still many dilapidated places, and even remains.

Bai Ni kicked a skull on the road and said angrily, "A bunch of robbers, while I was away, they tried to come in and loot my treasures, and they've ruined my cave like this."

This was her carefully decorated cave dwelling, and the residence where she lived the longest.

When human cultivators discovered that there were merfolk in the Water Silk Sea, they came into the sea and captured the merfolk on a large scale.

Bai Ni, outnumbered and outmatched, avoided their attack and left the Water Silk Sea. She guessed that it was that group of humans who, after searching the merfolk's territory, discovered her cave and tried every means to enter and loot its treasures.

When she returned to the Water Silk Sea, it was now.

Bai Ni wasn't swept directly back to the Water Silk Sea by the turbulent currents; she woke up in the Salt Sea, thousands of miles away.

The reason she woke up early was that the salt sea was irritating her wounds, causing her pain. Later, she discovered Changman and followed it to the bay village.

Bai Ni thought that she and Chang Man had met by chance. In fact, Ning Fusang had asked Chang Man to find her. However, Bai Ni couldn't understand Chang Man's babbling, so she misunderstood it.

When Changman found Bai Ni, he banged on the door outside her cave.

If Bai Ni hadn't gone out to check early, her door would probably be ruined.

Ning Fusang knew who Bai Ni was referring to as the "robber," but she didn't respond, letting Bai Ni vent her frustrations.

“My mansion used to be draped with silk curtains, the lamp stands were inlaid with luminous pearls, and the screens were made of coral from the seabed. Now it’s so empty. How can I not be angry?”

Ning Fusang hummed in agreement, and seeing Bai Ni holding a long spear and sweeping away the tattered veil, she sighed, "It has indeed been a long time since I've returned."

“There used to be a hot spring here, but it’s dried up now.” She raised her finger, and clear water gushed out of the pool. Changman immediately swam into it.

Bai Ni turned her head and said, "Yao Ling, you can stay in this main hall."

"The injuries from the Dragon Transformation Pool won't heal so easily. At least seventy or eighty percent of your spiritual power will be restored before we head to the Termite Pass."

Bai Ni also gave her two boxes of ointment. Ning Fusang used a bamboo stick to apply some to Changman, indicating that it should not stay in the water.

Instead of sitting on the bed, she took a futon, placed it on the floor, and sat down cross-legged, surrounded by piles of spirit stones.

The spirit stones shone brightly, making the entire palace exceptionally beautiful. Ning Fusang sat in the middle of the pile of spirit stones, which resembled mountain peaks surrounding her.

Looking inward at his dantian, he found his qi sea severely depleted. The "Ten Thousand Year Lotus" appeared withered and devoid of any spiritual energy, with a silkworm spirit lying there, half-dead.

Until a wisp of spiritual energy transformed into rainwater, fell into the sea of ​​qi, and hit the silkworm spirit, it stirred slightly.

Within the Qi Sea, like rain after a long drought, the vital energy gradually recovers.

"Fu... Fusang?"

The silkworm spirit opened its eyes, its breath faint, and through its blurred vision, it saw a light rain falling.

"Thank goodness, you're alright..." The silkworm spirit and Ning Fusang had a contract, sharing life and death. Ning Fusang's injuries were too severe, and the silkworm spirit would also suffer a backlash. It thought it was going to die. The explosion at the Dragon Transformation Pool was not the only reason for Ning Fusang's serious injuries. After she fell into a coma, the underwater currents also damaged her body.

Fortunately, she still had a dragon scale on her body, which protected her heart meridian. She was not eaten by the sea monster thanks to the Dragon Bone Sword.

A flying sword refined into a natal sword will automatically protect its master unless its sword spirit is erased. Just like the flying sword of the young man from Xuanpu Mountain.

The spiritual energy within the spirit stone circulated throughout her body with her breathing, forming vortexes that expanded endlessly, compressing the spiritual energy into clear spiritual power.

Some of the spiritual energy sank into the dantian, while some was used to repair the meridians.

Ning Fusang frowned slightly and continued to circulate his energy.

The volume of spiritual energy is much larger than that of spiritual power. The dantian cannot store too much of it, which will cause a feeling of bloating. The process of spiritual refinement by cultivators is to compress spiritual energy from a gaseous state into a liquid state.

There are two ways to refine spiritual energy. One is the common compression method, which liquefies spiritual energy by increasing pressure. This method is also the mainstream cultivation method.

Another approach is to lower the temperature. Any gas, including spiritual energy, can be liquefied if the temperature is lowered sufficiently.

However, this method of cooling down the body internally can be quite harmful, so very few people practice it this way.

Cultivators in the world of spiritual energy, unless they have special circumstances or special physical constitutions, all adopt the cultivation method of compressing spiritual energy.

The more tightly the spiritual energy is compressed, the purer it becomes, as commonly referred to.

Although this makes cultivation slower, it will be more solid and helpful for breaking through the barriers of cultivation realm.

The spirit stones annihilated at a moderate pace, turning into ordinary stones, some of which were even too brittle and turned directly into dust.

The banners spun around, and the spiritual energy within them continuously dissipated.

In the underwater palace, there was no distinction between day and night. Ning Fusang remained in this posture for an unknown period of time.

Only after there was no more spiritual energy for her to absorb in the room did she slowly open her eyes and look at her arm. The wounds from the Dragon Transformation Pool had faded a little.

Five hundred thousand spirit stones, all used up.

Because Ning Fusang didn't use all the spirit stones to restore her spiritual power, but instead used a large amount of spiritual energy to repair her damaged meridians, her spiritual power has only recovered to about 70-80%.

Changman squeezed in through the crack in the door, seizing any opportunity.

It must have gone out to hunt for food; bits of meat were still stuck to its fins, which it couldn't shake off. It was flipping over and rubbing against the coral screen.

Ning Fusang got up, stretched his limbs, left the main hall, and wandered around.

Bai Ni's mansion was modeled after a human palace and included a garden planted with century-old flowering trees. Several trees were broken, but their vitality had not been extinguished; they continued to grow upwards in a strange manner.

Ning Fusang closed his eyes to sense Bai Ni's location, then quickly withdrew his divine sense.

Bai Ni is still in seclusion.

The long barbarian whimpered softly and caught up with us at some point. It charged at the flowering tree, its horns slashing vertically like knives, and the tree fell down, crashing onto the roof tiles.

"Changman!"

Bai Ni's angry voice rang out as she appeared in the garden, "Incorrigible!"

Previously in the Snow Coral Sea, it frequently rammed into Ayanami Island, causing trouble. Now, in its own mansion, it has rammed into her flowering trees and even crushed the roof tiles.

Changman spun around once, and with a "bang," the glazed tile fell to the ground, and a few beads bounced out and rolled to Ning Fusang's feet.
