I had already ascended to heaven when the spiritual energy began to recover?

Chapter 65 Jiang Xuelan

This remnant soul actually spoke on its own initiative.

This was unexpected by Bai Sheng.

This remnant soul could even ask questions, its level of consciousness far exceeding any other remnant soul he had ever seen!

"It's not your place to ask me."

"However, I can tell you that this is one of my cave dwellings."

Bai Sheng bounced back and forth between the narrow bone walls.

Of course, this was Bai Sheng trying to create a sense of oppression.

I just don't know if it will work.

"What's your name? Who are you?"

Hearing Bai Sheng ask this question.

The dark red mist stirred slightly.

It's like they're trying hard to remember something.

After a while,

Her voice then reappeared, intermittently.

"My name is... Jiang Xuelan. I am a Qi cultivator from the pre-Qin period, and I cultivate the Primordial Qi..."

Yeah, but I don't want to fight. I can't beat you right now.

I'd like to know what dynasty it is now?

Bai Sheng was slightly moved.

The term "Qi Refiner"

He had seen it in the Daoist scriptures, and it was mentioned briefly in the annotations.

It is said that Qi cultivators are a branch of the ancient Taoist lineage of cultivation.

Do not cultivate the Golden Elixir or the Primordial Spirit

Specializing in cultivating primordial Qi.

His lifespan far exceeds that of other cultivators of the same level.

The innate Daoist scriptures he had studied were the culmination of the knowledge of Qi cultivators.

The results are the result of iterative exploration.

If this woman is telling the truth,

Her soul has lived for at least two thousand years.

Bai Sheng was silent for a moment before asking, "You say you are a Qi cultivator from the pre-Qin period, then I ask you, how did you get imprisoned in this formation?"

at this time,

Jiang Xuelan heard that Bai Sheng had not done anything particularly demonic.

It was like grasping at something to rely on in the darkness:

"Well, I wasn't imprisoned here. I created the entire formation myself."

Bai Sheng's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Did you make it yourself?

This is completely contrary to his previous speculation.

He initially had a vague suspicion.

Previously, it was thought that she was a spirit of the formation that had been captured and sealed inside the formation by the builder.

After all, he was in a very passive position.

They look like they have a hard life.

But she claimed that she created the formation herself...

Why lock yourself inside?

Jiang Xuelan gave a soft, bitter smile.

Even in the pre-Qin period, although Qi cultivators had lifespans far exceeding those of ordinary people and even cultivators of the same level, they could not achieve immortality.

No matter how pure one's primordial energy is, the physical body will eventually decay.

I didn't want to die, so I spent a long time studying the classic texts of Qi cultivators throughout history, trying to find a way to bypass the limitations of the physical body.

Bai Sheng pondered to himself,

It seems that it wasn't just him doing research every day, but even during the period when the so-called spiritual energy hadn't yet depleted,

Qi practitioners are also figuring things out as they go.

Based on this small detail, Bai Sheng made further guesses.

Even during the pre-Qin period, no particularly powerful figures emerged.

Or it could be a powerful sect.

the reason is simple,

Most cultivators are in a confused exploratory phase.

This means that at that time, there was no established system of cultivation paths!

The remnant soul continued:

"Later, I saw a theory in an ancient scroll."

Using a formation in conjunction with the Corpse Dissolution Technique, the soul is sealed into the formation's core before the physical body decays.

The power of the array is used to nourish the soul in place of the physical body, allowing the soul to slumber within the array.

When the concentration of spiritual energy in the outside world returns to a certain level, the soul can be re-condensed and the physical body can be reshaped.

This is my understanding of rebirth through corpse dissection.

Bai Sheng listened to these words without showing any expression.

But my mind was already in turmoil.

Corpse Dissection Technique, Soul Sealing Array...

It seems this female Qi cultivator is quite adept at thinking and researching.

In today's terms, that would be at least a PhD level, right?

"Then why did something go wrong?" Bai Sheng's interest also grew.

To be honest, the allure of the path to immortality is too great.

Who doesn't want to live forever?

So many illustrious figures, emperors whose names have been etched in history,

Enjoying all the riches and honors, achieving both fame and success.

Even in the end, they still can't bear to leave this world and are still struggling.

Bai Sheng naturally wouldn't mind using the pitfalls Jiang Xuelan had already encountered to continue exploring.

Jiang Xuelan remained silent for a long time.

Bai Sheng thought she was trying to avoid the issue.

After a long pause, his voice betrayed a pent-up anger:

"The problem is with the concentration of spiritual energy! I calculated the spiritual energy requirements of this formation before setting it up."

It needs external spiritual energy to maintain a minimum concentration for the formation to continue operating.

When setting up the formation, the concentration of spiritual energy outside was sufficient.

But after I slept for hundreds of years, my spiritual energy began to dry up!

"I had even considered this possibility at the time, but I never expected it!"

This is not a temporary fluctuation, but a continuous depletion!

Hundreds of years, thousands of years! The spiritual energy has become thinner and thinner year by year.

The formation was operating more and more slowly, and my soul was becoming weaker and weaker within it.

By the time of the Ten Kingdoms' chaotic wars, I could no longer even maintain a complete consciousness; my soul began to disintegrate.

Bai Sheng kept an eye on the dark red ball of energy.

This time he saw it clearly.

Deep within that dark red mist, amidst the constantly churning fragments,

A tiny, extremely small point of purple light was flickering.

That's the core of Jiang Xuelan.

Jiang Xuelan continued,

"By the way, you still haven't told me what dynasty it is?"

"It's not a dynasty anymore! There are no emperors outside anymore. People don't cultivate immortality anymore; they've started cultivating technology."

"The spiritual energy has probably been depleted since you fell asleep, but it has recently started to recover."

Was your prolonged slumber due to this?

Jiang Xuelan said with barely suppressed anticipation, "No wonder I suddenly regained consciousness recently!"

"Is the concentration of spiritual energy almost restored to a level where I can rebuild my physical body?"

Bai Sheng thought for a moment; his system only showed a 15% recovery rate for spiritual energy.

It's probably far from what he envisioned.

The other party was clearly aware of this as well.

"Reconstructing the physical body takes time; it's not something that can be done overnight."

But as long as there is spiritual energy, I can slowly repair my soul.

Once the soul is fully repaired, a suitable physical body can be found!

"Senior, if you just want me to stay in your cave temporarily..."

Once the spiritual energy recovers somewhat, I will be able to repair my soul myself.

"When the time comes, let me out. I'll owe you a debt of karma, and I'll definitely repay it in the future!"

Bai Sheng stared at the flickering, dark red mist.

After a moment of silence,

Good guy,

This female ghost is really asking for an exorbitant amount.

They even discussed the terms of the deal with each other.

Shall we order some food now?

Perhaps I didn't put enough pressure on him?

How can one demonstrate such a lively mind?

This female ghost is quite adept at taking advantage of situations.

Just a moment ago, he was cowering in a corner, trembling with fear, but now he's starting to make deals with himself!

Bai Sheng pulled his right hand out of his pocket.

A flash of purple light appeared from the Soul-Capturing Spell, and a bolt of purple lightning shot out.

"what!"

The dark red mist suddenly shrank!
