Xia Ruofei stayed in the Ring-Tu space for more than ten days.
For the first seven or eight days, he was immersed in studying a large number of ancient books. The contents of these ancient books were all imprinted in his mind, so his learning speed was quite fast.
When he was hungry, he would eat some bread. When he was thirsty, he would directly drink the spirit pool water. When he felt sleepy, he would nap on the recliner for a while.
In fact, after Xia Ruofei entered the fourth level of Qi Refinement, even if he did not eat or sleep for a few days, it would not be a problem at all. It was more because of the biological clock that he had cultivated in the past.
Xia Ruofei also specially learned about the contents of mental strength.
It turned out that in the cultivation system, there were also people who specialized in mental strength. The levels of mental strength were divided into Spirit Formation, Spirit Palpitation, Spirit Yan, and Spirit Void. Each level was also divided into early, middle, and late stages, corresponding to Yellow, Mystic, Earth, Heaven, and Qi Refinement cultivators from the first to the tenth level.
Ever since Xia Ruofei obtained the Ring-Tu space, his mental strength had been constantly being tempered. Especially after he began to regularly consume the Spirit Nourishing Soup, his mental strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.
He compared it according to the standards of the ancient books and discovered that his mental strength had reached the late stage of Spirit Palpitation.
This was equivalent to a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refinement or a warrior at the late stage of Mystic.
This had already exceeded his cultivation system by two levels.
Of course, Xia Ruofei also clearly understood that his mental strength was only the accumulation of quantity. In terms of application, it was still quite extensive. After all, he had not learned systematically before and had to fumble around on his own.
This was like a child who had obtained a powerful submachine gun but could not even open the safety. This submachine gun was no different from a poker in the child's hands.
Fortunately, now that there were so many ancient books, many of which were related to mental strength, Xia Ruofei's shortcoming had been fixed.
In the past few days, he could be considered to have understood the mental strength system systematically. At the same time, he also learned a few small skills of mental strength application, mainly related to hypnosis.
Just as Xia Qing said, these little tricks tested the ability to control mental strength. Xia Ruofei didn't know the method before, but now that he found the right way, he learned it quite quickly.
In the last few days, Xia Ruofei mainly practiced the unlocking rune of the human-shaped jade talisman.
Xia Ruofei's efficiency in practice was much higher than before after mastering some techniques to use mental strength. His proficiency was constantly improving.
Now, he had a very high success rate when using his mental power to construct the rune. At most, there would be one or two small flaws in every ten attempts.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei asked Xia Qing to take out more than ten pieces of jade that he had stored in the space. He began to try to carve runes on the jade.
As a meeting gift for Tang Haoran, he naturally needed to do some carving. Xia Ruofei directly took out a military dagger. After imbuing it with qi, the dagger was like a treasured knife that could cut through iron like mud. It cut through the jade as easily as cutting through tofu.
Xia Ruofei focused all of his attention. This piece of jade that he had specially picked out had the best quality jade. Jade fragments flew in his hand, and in a short while, a leaf-shaped jade tablet appeared in his hand.
Xia Ruofei had consumed many petals of the Spirit Heart Flower. In addition, he also cultivated the Dao Arts. His mental power level had reached the late stage of Spiritual Palpitation. Therefore, although it was his first time carving jade, the results were very good.
The shape of this leaf looked natural. The emerald green leaf was vivid and lifelike, full of natural charm. It even gave people the illusion that this was a real leaf.
The shape of the leaf was also based on the leaves of the Spirit Heart Tree. It seemed to contain the principles of heaven and earth, which would slightly attract people's attention.
This was only Xia Ruofei's first time carving jade, but the work was quite stunning.
If it were to be taken out, even the work of some famous jade masters would pale in comparison to it.
After all, there weren't many people who could infuse their intent into jade works. Even if there were, their realm was much lower than Xia Ruofei's.
Compared to the works of those so-called masters that only had the shape but not the spirit, Xia Ruofei's jade leaf was more than one level higher.
After carving the jade leaf, Xia Ruofei put it to the side.
After all, it took a lot of effort to make this jade leaf. Xia Ruofei definitely wouldn't directly carve it if he wasn't confident.
There were still more than ten pieces of jade, so Xia Ruofei naturally had to practice first.
Xia Ruofei casually picked up a piece of jade.
Then he took a deep breath, and his finger quickly drew on the surface of the jade.
On the surface, the jade didn't seem to have changed at all, but Xia Ruofei's mental strength had quickly penetrated the jade, and then left a beacon according to the pattern of the rune.
At the same time, Xia Ruofei's True Qi also entered the jade, following the beacon left by his mental strength, and left a fine trace that couldn't be seen by the naked eye.
This was the internal trajectory of the rune.
This method of using mental strength to lead the way and inject True Qi into the rune was something that Xia Ruofei learned after studying the ancient records.
Without the knowledge in the ancient records, even if Xia Ruofei practiced this rune to the point that he knew it inside out, it would be very difficult to leave a trace inside the jade.
Xia Ruofei's rapidly moving finger suddenly stopped, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
At this time, a crack had appeared on the surface of the jade.
Although the effect of this method of inscribing runes was obvious, the difficulty of controlling it was also multiplied. After all, the construction of runes was a very complicated process, and during this process, Xia Ruofei not only had to control his mental strength, but also his True Qi.
Although the True Qi only needed to follow the beacon left by his mental strength to inscribe, if the strength of the True Qi was slightly different, it could lead to failure.
Just now, Xia Ruofei didn't control the strength of his True Qi, causing the jade to be unable to withstand the cracks on the surface.
If one looked at it with a high-powered magnifying glass, they would find that there were also many fine cracks inside the jade, and these cracks gradually extended to the surface.
This piece of jade was basically useless.
However, Xia Ruofei wasn't discouraged. This was his first time trying this method. If he succeeded on the first try, it would be good luck, and if he failed, it would be normal.
Xia Ruofei rested for a while, and then picked up the second piece of jade to inscribe.
Time passed little by little, and beside Xia Ruofei, there were six or seven pieces of jade with cracks.
But at the same time, he also placed three pieces of jade that were successfully inscribed on the other side.
And these three pieces were all concentrated in the last few times.
In other words, Xia Ruofei's success rate of inscribing this protective talisman had greatly increased.
Including the piece in his hand, Xia Ruofei still had four pieces of jade to practice on.
Xia Ruofei quickly finished inscribing the piece in his hand.
It was still a success.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei didn't intend to use the remaining three pieces of jade — in case he failed to inscribe the runes on the jade leaf, he would still have three spare raw materials.
He rested for a while, and after adjusting his mental strength and physical condition, he took the carved jade leaf and began to inscribe the runes.
Xia Ruofei was prepared for failure. After all, his previous success rate was only half.
But to his surprise, the inscribing this time was quite smooth. Maybe it was because the jade leaf's material was the best among all the jade materials, or maybe it was because Xia Ruofei adjusted his condition better. In short, it was very smooth from beginning to end, and he easily completed the inscribing of the runes.
Xia Ruofei poured a wisp of True Qi into the runes, and then penetrated his mental strength to check it. He found that the whole runes didn't have any flaws, and the True Qi slowly flowed inside, quite smoothly.
After seven or eight days of "cramming education", Xia Ruofei was no longer the cultivation rookie from before.
He was very clear that although this small piece of jade leaf looked like a relatively expensive jade product, once the wearer was in danger, it could erupt with a huge protective energy.
It was no exaggeration to say that even if it was a bullet attack, this piece of protective talisman could block it several times.
Speaking of which, this was simply a second life!
Xia Ruofei found a red string to tie the jade leaf, and then put it away.
There were still four pieces of successfully inscribed jade tablets. Although the material was slightly worse than the jade leaf, and they didn't have much of an appearance, their protective effect was almost the same.
Although Xia Ruofei had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, he didn't know how strong his body's protective ability was. After all, the people who wrote the ancient books of cultivation couldn't have predicted that there would be powerful firearms in the future, and certainly wouldn't have described this aspect.
Therefore, in line with the principle of not wasting anything, Xia Ruofei also hung one of the jade tablets on his body. Although there were almost no people who could hurt him now, it was always better to be safe than sorry, and it was always better to be prepared.
As for the remaining three jade tablets, Xia Ruofei temporarily left them in the space.
Now that he had the ability to inscribe protective talismans, he naturally wanted to prepare some for his family and friends. For example, Ling Qingxue, Lin Qiao, Huzi's mother, and so on, he definitely had to give them to them.
However, Xia Ruofei was prepared to find some jade materials of better quality, and then carefully carve them before inscribing the talismans.
These three jade tablets didn't look very good, so they could be used as backups.
Just as Xia Ruofei finished dealing with the matter of greeting gifts, Xia Qing came to the Archean Realm and respectfully said, "Master, it's already around seven in the morning in the outside world. You should return to the outside world."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay!"
He stretched his back, feeling that the past ten days in the Archean Realm were like a dream.
In the outside world, he had entered the space around nine in the evening. In total, less than ten hours had passed, but Xia Ruofei had already undergone a complete transformation.
Xia Ruofei didn't leave immediately. Instead, he went to the spirit pond and took a basin of water to wash his face. Then, he took out a razor and tidied up his appearance. He even used a military dagger to slightly trim his hair.
After all, he had spent more than ten days in the space. If he went out like this, it would be very difficult to explain how his hair had grown so much in one night. Furthermore, his beard was unshaven.
Xia Ruofei was very cautious about any details that could reveal the secrets of the space.
After dealing with his personal matters, Xia Ruofei left the space with a thought and put away the Spirit Map Scroll.
He hadn't had the time to take a bath last night, and he had stayed in the space for more than ten days. His body was almost rotten, so the moment he came out, he couldn't wait to rush into the bathroom and take a bath.
After changing into a clean set of clothes, Xia Ruofei raised his hand to look at his watch. It was exactly 7: 30 in the morning.
