Soon, eight months had quietly passed within the Spirit Time House. During this period, Xiao Tian focused intently on cultivation, finally succeeding in raising his spirit power from level sixty-six to an impressive level seventy.
According to his original cultivation speed, he could probably advance one level of spirit power every three months. However, due to the accelerating effect of the gravity zone within the Spirit Time House, this speed directly increased by one-third.
It must be said that such a rate of improvement was already extremely fast. Oh, right, the important contribution of the Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Method also played a role here.
Almost every night, after Xiao Tian and Zhu Zhuqing completed their normal cultivation, they would engage in about an hour of special cultivation.
In their words, the cultivation process itself was very dry and boring, so they had to use another method to make their minds and bodies happy.
Moreover, they would constantly change their methods of cultivation.
After all, time was plentiful in the Spirit Time House, so at Xiao Tian's strong insistence, Zhu Zhuqing also tried many different positions and movements.
Every position and movement was an extremely novel experience for both of them.
Zhu Zhuqing was naturally very shy at first, but under Xiao Tian's persistent coaxing and the drive of her own curiosity, she finally agreed.
However, it also needs to be noted that this special cultivation should not be overdone, otherwise, once engrossed in it, it could very likely have an adverse effect on the next day's cultivation state.
After all, their cultivation was not limited to spirit power cultivation; there was also corresponding martial skill cultivation.
Compared to Xiao Tian's four-level increase in spirit power, Zhu Zhuqing's improvement was clearly greater than his. Before entering the Spirit Time House, Zhu Zhuqing already possessed level fifty-five spirit power.
If following normal cultivation speed, with her talent combined with the Nine Nether Profound Underworld Skill, it would take a little over two months to advance one level of spirit power.
But with the addition of gravity, this time was directly shortened to one and a half months per level of spirit power.
The reason Zhu Zhuqing's current cultivation speed was faster than her speed of improvement in the original work (without gravity) during the five years after the Soul Master Competition was mainly because she spent all her time in the Spirit Time House on cultivation, except for eating and sleeping.
Therefore, around the fourth month in the Spirit Time House, Zhu Zhuqing successfully raised her spirit power to level sixty. And because Xiao Tian had not yet performed the method of condensing a Qi and Blood spirit ring at that time, he planned to let Zhu Zhuqing absorb another dark-attribute god-bestowed spirit ring.
However, Zhu Zhuqing refused.
She wanted to wait until Xiao Tian's experiment was over, and then she would also try to condense her own sixth spirit ring. Xiao Tian thought about it carefully and decided that was fine.
Anyway, even if she didn't absorb the sixth spirit ring, the accumulated spirit power from later cultivation would still remain in her body. Once the spirit ring was condensed later, this accumulated spirit power would burst forth all at once.
As for the decrease in cultivation speed due to not absorbing a spirit ring, that didn't matter either.
In their opinion, that slight decrease in cultivation speed was actually negligible. Moreover, Xiao Tian had another plan in mind. If his seventh Qi and Blood spirit ring truly condensed successfully in the end, he would actively shatter his first six spirit rings, imitating Tang San in the original work.
The lifespan of a Qi and Blood spirit ring would increase with one's strength, and it would also condense Spirit Abilities suitable for oneself based on one's subconscious thoughts, which was indeed very good.
The only drawback of a Qi and Blood spirit ring, perhaps, was that since this spirit ring was condensed from one's own qi and blood, it would not provide any increase in one's spirit power, just like Xiao Wu.
But Xiao Tian could completely accept this point. After all, he knew best which method would help him the most.
Among these first six spirit rings, two were hundred-thousand-year spirit rings bestowed upon him by Da Ming and Er Ming. But these two hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, to be honest, were not the most suitable for him.
Especially Da Ming's Spirit Ability that could increase attack speed. He now understood that as a sword cultivator, and since a sword was a weapon of slaughter, it should definitely focus on increasing attack power and sharpness.
As for attack speed, when one's strength increased, speed would naturally increase as well.
So, from his current perspective, this fourth Spirit Ability, Azure Swift Sword Dance, was not the most suitable Spirit Ability for him.
At this moment, by the waterfall.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, full of tension and a hint of anticipation, were fixed on Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian had finally reached level seventy; he was finally going to attempt to condense a Qi and Blood spirit ring.
Zhu Zhuqing sincerely hoped that Xiao Tian would succeed! At the same time, Ah Yin slowly emerged from Xiao Tian's mental space. She and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, both seeing deep worry in each other's eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing had completely forgotten about Ah Yin being there at first.
Only later did she remember that everything she and Xiao Tian had done must have been seen clearly by Ah Yin. When she first realized this, her face instantly turned beet red.
Since that was the case, she couldn't worry so much anymore. Anyway, they were both women. Xiao Tian didn't care about being seen naked, so why should she care?
As soon as this thought appeared, Zhu Zhuqing was startled by herself. What kind of outrageous thought was this?
But when she thought that Ah Yin might see and hear them doing 'that' kind of thing, she seemed to feel a tiny bit of excitement in her heart?
She found that after spending a long time with Xiao Tian, she seemed to be getting more and more perverted, approaching some of Xiao Tian's characteristics.
Xiao Tian's response to this: Don't slander me! You're lying, I'm not, I didn't!
Xiao Tian took a deep breath, reviewed the method for condensing a Qi and Blood spirit ring in his mind, and then took out the Qi and Blood Pill and Gathering Soul Pill.
This time he was condensing his seventh spirit ring, so he needed a relatively large amount of Qi and Blood Pills and Gathering Soul Pills, especially the Qi and Blood Pills.
However, the bottle of Qi and Blood Pills he had taken out now was specially marked by Yang Wudi as being of the highest quality among all Qi and Blood Pills.
This bottle contained ten Qi and Blood Pills, which were refined by Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo after they became proficient in the Qi and Blood Pill refining process, combining their efforts and using undiluted blood. Although there might be some loss during the process, if there were no accidents, just one of these Qi and Blood Pills should be enough to condense a Qi and Blood spirit ring of around seventy thousand years. (Equivalent to a thirty percent loss)
