The heart formed from spiritual energy slowly fell onto Lu Ping's hand. The moment the heart made contact with Lu Ping's hand, a pure and abundant spiritual energy, far stronger than before, flowed through his hand and into his blood vessels. Lu Ping only needed to refine it slightly before it transformed into pure primary energy and flowed into his core space.
Lu Ping was shocked. This was the spiritual energy that he had subconsciously absorbed earlier. The primary energy transformed from the spiritual energy was like a raging wave that roared through Lu Ping's blood vessels. When it rushed into his core space, Lu Ping's entire body was shaken. If it weren't for the eight wyrms opening their mouths to absorb the primary energy, Lu Ping's body might have exploded the moment he came into contact with the spiritual energy heart.
Even so, Lu Ping immediately realized that this spiritual energy heart was definitely a rare treasure. If he could resolve the violent spiritual energy contained within it and slowly absorb it into his body, the boost to his cultivation would be no less than that of a large spirit vein.
Once he thought of this, he immediately took action. After confirming that there were no other dangers in his surroundings and that he still couldn't find an exit, Lu Ping simply sat cross-legged in the center of the cave mansion and began refining the spiritual energy heart.
Holding the spiritual energy heart in his hands, a purplish-blue light emerged from Lu Ping's hands. The light gradually spread to the spiritual energy heart before enveloping the entire heart.
The reason why he used his own primary energy to envelop the spiritual energy heart was because Lu Ping found that the condensed heart was slowly evaporating. Spiritual energy was constantly escaping from it. If he did not use his primary energy to envelop it, the spiritual energy would inevitably be wasted.
After Lu Ping's primary energy completely enveloped the entire spiritual energy heart, Lu Ping's face immediately turned red. Then, it became a purplish-blue colour, as if there was a deep sea rippling on his face.
Lu Ping operated the North Sea Wave Listening Technique to its limits. Even though Lu Ping could not be more careful and was only attempting to absorb a small portion of the spiritual energy from the spiritual energy heart, even this small portion of energy was enough for Lu Ping to display all of his abilities in order to transform the spiritual energy into his own.
This was only possible because Lu Ping had refined the Profound Heavy Water and Myriad Wonder Jade Nectar. If it was anyone else, in order to prevent the spiritual energy contained within the spiritual energy heart from exploding, they would have to place the spiritual energy heart beside their body to absorb the spiritual energy from afar.
Although this could weaken the impact of the spiritual energy contained within the heart, it would also cause a large amount of spiritual energy to dissipate and cause losses in the process of absorbing spiritual energy from afar because there was no primary energy to cover it.
This spiritual energy heart was only one foot in size, but the spiritual energy condensed within it had reached an astonishing density. Lu Ping's full strength in refining the primary energy in his body could create an extremely shocking scene of spiritual energy being absorbed and spat out. However, this scene was insignificant for this spiritual energy heart.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ping stopped operating the North Sea Wave Listening Technique. When he looked down, he found that the spiritual energy heart in his hands had only shrunk a little. The remaining heart was even more condensed, and the spiritual energy contained within it had already condensed into a solid form.
Lu Ping smiled bitterly. He had no choice but to calm down and continue refining. He would treat this as a closed-door training session!
However, Lu Ping could not help but wonder if this was the true secret of the place where spiritual energy gathered in the Sacred Lake. It was through the specially condensed spiritual energy that cultivators could refine and absorb to achieve the purpose of improving their cultivation. This was because Lu Ping could clearly feel that during the process of refining the spiritual energy heart, Lu Ping's cultivation was rapidly rising towards the door of the ninth stage of the Core Forging Realm.
The smaller the spiritual energy heart became, the more difficult it was to refine. When the entire heart became the size of a pill, Lu Ping's originally calm expression suddenly changed. After a while, it became a little strange, but there was a trace of joy mixed in with the strangeness.
At the core of this heart, there was a dark blue object constantly flowing. Lu Ping's bluish-purple primary energy continued to permeate this core pill. After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ping's face lit up. When he looked at the pill in his hand again, the dark blue object inside had disappeared.
In the core space of Lu Ping's heart, there was a dense cloud of red light surrounding the Golden Elixir. As the North Sea Wave Listening Technique that Lu Ping practiced was an extremely mysterious technique, this technique took into account the purity and richness of the primary energy. Therefore, every time the primary energy essence that was refined in the bloodline flowed into the core space, it would first gather around the Golden Elixir to form a dense cloud of red light.
Then, the cloud of red light would be continuously refined by the strange dragon on the surface of the Golden Elixir into the purer and more condensed primary energy essence. This would then be absorbed by the Golden Elixir and used to strengthen Lu Ping's foundation and as the foundation for improving his cultivation.
And at this moment, in this purple cloud of red light, there was a dark blue object rolling in the cloud of red light. This object was the one that had been in the core of the spiritual energy heart.
It was rumored that before Dharma adepts condensed their own special ability seed, they would first condense in the core space a rune that was condensed from this special ability. This rune was also known as a rune. In short, it was an extremely mysterious pattern.
And when a practitioner advanced to the Dharma stage, as the Dharma Power was born from the Golden Elixir, there would be a chance that this rune would be captured and refined by the newborn Dharma Power when it needed to absorb large amounts of spiritual energy. From there, the rune would condense into a special ability seed in the Dharma Power and become a special ability.
Of course, although it was extremely difficult to condense this type of special ability rune in the core space, but even if it was successfully condensed, when the practitioner advanced to the Dharma Power stage, it was rare for it to be captured and refined by the Dharma Power. Most of the runes would disintegrate when the Dharma Power was formed, turning into pure primary energy to nourish the newly formed Dharma Power.
Therefore, there were often some cultivators at the peak of the Core Forging stage who, before advancing to the Transcendence stage, would condense several great divine power runes in the space of their heart. Then, when they finally advanced to the Transcendence stage, it was a joyous matter to be able to coincidentally form a great divine power of their own.
However, Core Forging stage practitioners usually only had the opportunity to condense this type of rune in the cloud of red light after they advanced to the peak of the Core Forging stage and smelted the third type of spiritual energy. It was almost unheard of in the world of practice that anyone could condense a rune in the cloud of red light before achieving a high-grade Golden Elixir.
However, after Lu Ping absorbed the dark blue object in the spiritual energy heart, a dark blue rune actually formed in the cloud of red light in the core space.
Lu Ping could feel that this dark blue rune was different from the dark blue object in the spiritual energy heart. However, the formation of this rune was closely related to the dark blue object in the spiritual energy heart.
What made Lu Ping even more surprised was that the rune was not condensed by one of the great magical spells that Lu Ping had already mastered, but — — Water Manipulation Technique!
Although the Water Manipulation Technique was one of the 12 secret spells that Lu Ping cultivated in the North Sea Wave Listening Technique, the Water Manipulation Technique in Lu Ping's hands was no less powerful than a great magical spell. However, the Water Manipulation Technique itself was not a great magical spell. It was a type of spell that changed according to the depth of the cultivator's cultivation. It should be considered the most basic spell of the North Sea Twelve Orthodox Techniques and could be considered a kind of foundation for water element spells.
However, right now, in the cloud of red light in Lu Ping's core space, a Water Manipulation Technique had condensed and completely upgraded the Water Manipulation Technique to a great magical spell. This was something that Lu Ping did not expect.
After thinking about it, Lu Ping had once used the Water Manipulation Technique when he was resisting the spirit qi giant alligator's great magical spell. By competing with the giant alligator for control of the spiritual energy waves, the power of the giant alligator's spell was weakened.
Could it be because of this that the Water Manipulation Technique's rune condensed in the cloud of red light in the core space, causing the Water Manipulation Technique to upgrade to a great magical spell?
Although these were all Lu Ping's guesses, there was one thing that Lu Ping did not doubt. The condensation of the Dan Xia rune was definitely related to the blue object in the core of the spirit qi giant alligator's heart.
When Lu Ping finished refining the last trace of concentrated spiritual energy, there was no trace of the spirit qi heart in his hand. Lu Ping jumped up from the ground, and his whole body emitted a huge aura fluctuation. After a short moment, these fluctuations were completely restrained, and from the outside, he looked like an ordinary youth.
Feeling the vigorous true essence circulating in his body, Lu Ping secretly sighed in pity. He was only one step away, and Lu Ping's cultivation was still stuck at the peak of the eighth layer of Core Forging. In the end, he was unable to cross the hurdle of the ninth layer of Core Forging.
He had encountered a bottleneck!
If the spirit qi heart was just a little bigger, then perhaps he could have broken through the bottleneck of the ninth layer of Core Forging!
Lu Ping's face was full of regret. The bottleneck of the ninth layer of Core Forging wasn't so easy to break through. If he missed this opportunity, then it might be another eight to ten years later.
However, when Lu Ping thought about how refining the spirit qi heart had saved him at least ten years of cultivation, he couldn't help but sigh at his own greed.
Counting with his fingers, Lu Ping unexpectedly spent nearly a year refining the spirit qi heart. This caused Lu Ping to be greatly surprised. Although refining the spirit qi heart was difficult, in Lu Ping's opinion, it was only a matter of a few days. How did a year unknowingly pass by?
Looking up at the vast and boundless pitch-black sky, Lu Ping didn't know what to do for a while. Could it be that he would have to continue his seclusion until the river source closed?
Lu Ping looked around the cave mansion. Originally, the cave mansion was filled with rich spiritual energy, but now there was no trace of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy that had previously gathered to form the giant crocodile had also disappeared without a trace.
Just as Lu Ping was anxiously pacing around, a muffled sound suddenly came from the cave mansion. Lu Ping was startled, and when he turned to look, he saw that in the center of the cave mansion, a cave entrance had unknowingly appeared on the ground.
When Lu Ping looked from the side, he saw a spiral stone staircase leading downwards. From afar, he could still see a stone mansion below.
A wave of spiritual energy rushed out from the cave entrance and rushed towards Lu Ping. Lu Ping took a deep breath. The spiritual energy below was actually even more vigorous than when he first entered the cave mansion a year ago.
