Activate acceleration.
The moment the ingot was deducted, the time acceleration feature was activated.
In an instant.
Xuanqing’s entire body seemed to transform into a water pump, bursting with strong suction force, causing the spiritual Qi in the Taoist temple to surge crazily into his body.
The reason for this phenomenon.
It was because after reaching this level of cultivation, even without actively doing so, the Qi Flower would automatically absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth spiritual Qi.
After activating time acceleration, it was equivalent to turning a whole month’s absorption into an instant, naturally creating a siphon effect.
However.
The more significant change, compared to the absorbed spiritual Qi.
It was the body’s interior.
Xuanqing discovered.
Inside his body, the ‘chunk of Chaos Energy’ wrapped by the Qi Flower was visibly decreasing at a rapid rate, being absorbed by his physical body.
On the other hand, the large mass of Chaos Energy had no reaction whatsoever.
After all.
This time acceleration could only work passively. Unless it’s combined with the hanging combination, the two could be used simultaneously; otherwise, the physical body could only passively strengthen as the time passes.
The reason why that ‘chunk’ of Chaos Energy could be rapidly absorbed.
It was because it was wrapped by the Qi Flower’s tremendous mana, and as time elapsed under such circumstances, it would naturally be refined into the physical body.
Of course.
If you’re not afraid of dying, you can also directly use the Qi Flower to wrap all the Chaos Energy, to see if you can withstand the violent backlash of the Chaos Energy.
[Beep! Time acceleration ends!]
Just as he was deep in thought, a prompt sounded in his mind.
“It’s over already?”
Xuanqing was slightly startled.
The ‘small chunk’ of Chaos Energy within his body had only been absorbed by about 20%, leaving a full 80% unrefined.
That is to say, to refine this entire chunk, it would take another four times for a total of half a year of acceleration?
With this thought in mind.
“Activate acceleration for 0.4 years.”
Xuanqing muttered under his breath, directing the acceleration target towards himself.
[Beep! -40 ingot]
In an instant.
An even stronger suction force, centered on the physical body, spread out in all directions, drawing all the surrounding spiritual Qi into the body.
In an instant.
All the spiritual Qi in the Taoist temple was depleted, and even before the Heaven and Earth spiritual Qi could replenish, it was absorbed again.
Seeing this scene.
Xuanqing slightly furrowed his brows.
For him now, absorbing this Heaven and Earth spiritual Qi could indeed enhance a bit of physical body strength, but compared to refining the Chaos Pills, it was nothing.
Instead, it was Black Wind Mountain, which had just become a cave heaven and blessed land, that was at risk of falling from its blessed status if such frantic absorption continued.
“Qi Flower… stop!”
Xuanqing manually shut off the Qi Flower’s automatic absorption of Heaven and Earth spiritual Qi, lest he damage his Daoist temple without enhancing his physical body much.
After all, the crucial part of condensing the Essence Flower was not the outside Heaven and Earth spiritual Qi, but the internal refinement of the Chaos Pills.
Afterward.
Xuanqing focused his attention on his body.
At the moment time acceleration was activated, that small chunk of Chaos Energy was being refined at an even more terrifying speed.
In just a short while.
The small piece of Chaos Energy torn from the Chaos Pill was completely refined by the Qi Flower, nourishing the physical body as nutrients.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing understood in his heart.
“That is to say, if I want to refine this small piece torn off using time acceleration, and with the passive method of refining, it will take six months to accelerate.”
At this moment.
He turned his gaze to the other side of his body, where the Chaos Pill had transformed into a large mass of Chaos Energy.
“A Chaos Pill transformed into Chaos Energy needs about two hundred tearings to be completely refined!”
Xuanqing calculated in his heart.
This meant that he needed to use a hundred years of time acceleration, and at the rate of a hundred ingots per year, a total of ten thousand ingots would be needed to refine one Chaos Pill quickly.
“Ten thousand ingots to refine one Chaos Pill, this consumption is indeed a bit large, but as long as it saves time, it wouldn’t matter!”
Xuanqing thought to himself.
If the acceleration was not applied, it would take more than six years even without taking into account the resting time to refine all remaining 75 Chaos Pills.
Perhaps for others, a mere six years would pass in a blink of an eye, but for him, from the start of his practice to now, it had only been a few years.
“Continue the practice!”
Xuanqing’s gaze glinted with intensity as he controlled the Qi Flower to tear off a small piece from the Chaos Energy once again.
At this moment.
Child Jin Ling and Yin Ling Tongzi were squatting on the ground, holding a small wooden stick in their hands, and playing excitedly with the ants carrying food.
They played and rested while waiting for the Chaos Energy in their Junior Xuanqing to erupt.
“It’s so boring.”
“Yeah, it would be great if Junior Xuanqing could refine faster.”
Just as the two child-like beings were chatting.
Suddenly.
A wave of fluctuation came, carrying the breath of awakening Chaos Energy.
“Hmm?”
The two child-like beings turned their heads, only to see their Junior Xuanqing with a pained expression, clearly indicating that the Chaos Energy in his body had erupted.
“What’s going on? Doesn’t it take him almost two hours each time to awaken and refine the mixed energy?”
Child Jin Ling muttered in confusion.
“Yeah, it’s strange.” Yin Ling Tongzi also grumbled with puzzlement, “But we have to calm this chaotic energy down first!”
Having said that.
“Pestle for Grinding Medicine!”
He then took out the pestle and aimed it at Xuanqing’s physical body, hammering it loudly.
In a matter of moments, the erupting Chaos Energy was suppressed.
After the job was done.
Yin Ling Tongzi quickly asked with curiosity: “Junior Xuanqing, you used to erupt every almost two hours, why did it happen so fast this time?”
Hearing this.
Xuanqing opened his eyes and considered his words for a moment before saying, “My two senior brothers, 1’11 need your help in a while. I’ve discovered a way to refine Chaos Energy quickly.”
“Hey, it’s no trouble at all, Junior Brother, just go ahead!”
Yin Ling Tongzi immediately smiled joyfully and casually spoke, without taking the matter to heart.
After all, with him and his big brother taking turns, how could they get tired?
Next to him, Child Jin Ling also had the same casual expression and waved his hand at Xuanqing, signaling him to continue practicing.
“In that case, let me continue then!”
Xuanqing’s lips curled into a slight smile.
The next moment.
He controlled the Qi Flower again, tearing another small piece from the massive Chaos Energy within his body.
“Activating half a year of time acceleration….”
