After my grandmother called me home in my dream, my spiritual energy revived

Chapter 242 Unclaimed Spiritual Object
While the whole country was cheering for the victory of the Chinese team, Song Miaozhu called back her little paper servant and began a new round of cultivation.

Song Miaozhu used to worry about not having enough firepower because she had never created a dangerous spirit creature that could directly attack the enemy. After watching this match, she was completely at ease.

The results of the Global Cultivator Competition have proven that, compared to a spirit's ability, its strength is the true key to victory.

When Master Le Pengkun's Spirit-Breaking Tang Sword clashed with the Japanese contestant's Blood-Weeping Samurai Sword, the latter's blade was directly chipped and bent.

The rattan-woven spirit beasts from India were no match for Master He Zhen's tiger and bear embroidered fan spirit beasts, which clashed with the beast spirits several times.

Even the American contestants' piercing glasses couldn't see through the little paper servants hidden among them, much less the paper mist veil of Xiaozhushan.

Even the strongest attack unleashed by the contestant with the highest cultivation level, controlled by her spirit creature, couldn't break through Song Miaozhu's paper-cloth spirit armor's defense.

No wonder, the Spirits Bureau previously classified spiritual objects according to their strength, based on the cultivation level of cultivators.

When faced with overwhelming power, even the abilities of spirit creatures become less important.

The abilities of spirit objects vary from person to person and cannot be controlled, but the strength of a spirit object is in the hands of each spirit object maker.

The creator of a spirit object can use their own spiritual power to nurture it and enhance its strength.

A purchased spirit animal remains exactly as it was when it was purchased; it cannot be nurtured at all.

Song Miaozhu finally realized that it was fine to get other people's magical items to have fun with, but she should focus on making her own magical items.

If you lack ability, make up for it with strength. No matter how good a spirit creature is, it needs sufficient spiritual power to be raised well. No amount of scheming and trickery can compare to real hard power.

As long as she maintains her cultivation advantage, then apart from engaging in a war of attrition to exhaust all her spiritual power and reserves, her pursuers will be unable to defeat her no matter what.

Now she has the safest cultivation environment. The top cultivators from all countries cannot break into her little bamboo mountain. She can cultivate in peace and study the "Paper Effigy Secret Technique".

What level other cultivators have reached or what rare spiritual objects they have mastered is of little significance to her. It is enough for her to send a few paper servants to keep an eye on outside news so that she doesn't truly become out of touch with society.

Just as Song Miaozhu was immersed in making paper offerings and focused on accumulating spiritual power, hoping to take another step closer to the perfection of the Yellow Spirit Rank, the little paper servant under the old locust tree contacted her.

Since the arrival of the spiritual energy tide, Song Miaozhu has frequently gone to Xiaolijiang to check on the condition of the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros.

The results showed that it was indeed absorbing the free spiritual energy points in the air, and the spiritual light was becoming stronger and stronger, showing a tendency to transform into a spiritual object.

However, even during the spiritual energy tide, not much spiritual energy dissipates into the Xiaolijiang section of the river.

In Song Miaozhu's eyes, the speed at which it transformed into a spiritual being was a bit too slow.

To facilitate observation of its condition and accelerate its transformation, Song Miaozhu dug it out of the river and had the paper soldiers secretly transport it back to Xiaozhushan, placing it under the old locust tree on the original site of the old house. She also sent a small paper servant to specifically observe its condition.

Her spirit dwelling is on the old locust tree, where she usually practices her spiritual cultivation by making paper offerings.

During the spiritual energy tide, the spiritual energy at Xiaozhushan is the most concentrated. The water-suppressing stone rhinoceros gets far more spiritual energy here than it does at the bottom of Xiaolijiang River.

In the images transmitted by the little paper servant, the spiritual light on the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros was already approaching saturation, suggesting that it was about to transform into a spiritual being.

Upon receiving the news, Song Miaozhu immediately left the spirit house and took out the Spirit Appraisal Mirror to examine her reflection. This Spirit Appraisal Mirror was no longer the original one; it was a Blue Spirit Rank Spirit Appraisal Mirror that she had exchanged with Master Yang Shuqin last year using a Blue Spirit Rank Spirit Gathering Lucky Baby that she had carefully cultivated and which had a higher efficiency in gathering spiritual energy. Originally, it was a mirror that Master Yang Shuqin kept for her own use, but she was willing to trade it away in order to catch up with the cultivation levels of other elite masters.

This spirit-identifying bronze mirror can not only identify spirit objects in more detail, but also other items, including this water-suppressing stone rhinoceros, which cannot yet be considered a spirit object.

When the mirror was used to examine the object, the identification result appeared on the mirror.

The previous assessment results were all "an unclaimed spiritual object undergoing transformation", but the current assessment result has changed to: "an unclaimed spiritual object about to successfully transform".

In less than a minute, the text flashed by and changed to "A newly transformed, ownerless spirit that has given birth to a soul..."

"What is a spirit?" Just as Song Miaozhu was wondering, the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros suddenly came to life.

The simple sculpture's eyes rolled, its bulky body twisted, and its head looked left and right. As if it had suddenly found a goal, it kicked off and ran down the mountain.

Song Miaozhu kindly let it bask in spiritual energy for so long, but it ignored her completely.

Fortunately, she had previously tried to infuse her spiritual energy into the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros, but failed in her attempts to establish a spiritual connection with it. She was prepared for it to turn its back on her.

The moment it moved its hooves, she immediately scattered a handful of five-colored paper figures.

The paper figure landed and transformed into a strong and mighty paper soldier, which immediately grabbed the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros.

The water-suppressing stone rhinoceros looks heavy, but having just transformed into a spiritual creature, its power is far inferior to the paper soldiers that Song Miaozhu has carefully cultivated for so many years.

A single paper soldier firmly controlled it.

The remaining paper soldiers surrounded it, blocking its path.

Enraged, the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros spewed out a stream of water that shot straight at the paper soldiers.

Although the paper soldiers are made of paper, they are not afraid of water or fire.

The water jet from the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros had plenty of initial force but lacked staying power. The paper soldiers remained unmoved, and even their paper armor was not touched.

The water-suppressing stone rhinoceros, finding it useless, roared in anger, then squatted down with its head down, emitting a low groan. There were fluctuations of spiritual energy, but no specific effect could be seen.

Just as the paper soldiers had subdued the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros, Song Miaozhu finished reading the latest appraisal results on the spirit-appraising bronze mirror.

"...A spiritless creature that has been born with a soul can absorb unclaimed spiritual energy and use it for its own purposes. It is skilled in using water-based magic and can establish a connection with water veins within a certain range, controlling the water within them."

Seeing the current state of the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros, he immediately realized something was wrong and hurriedly ordered the paper soldiers: "Interrupt its spellcasting!"

Although we don't know exactly how powerful it is, Xiaolijiang is nearby. If it establishes contact with us and causes flooding, that would be terrible.

The paper soldiers were of one mind with her. Before she could finish speaking, the soldiers, who had only been controlling the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros to keep it from running around, immediately started punching and kicking it.

When the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros was kicked away, the fluctuations of its spiritual energy were interrupted, and its spellcasting was broken.
