Returning to the stone room, Zhu Yao put in even more effort in her cultivation, as she constantly absorbed the spiritual energy from the purple lightning bolts. The purple lightning bolts slowly began to disappear as well, and when the two lightning bolts were completely consumed, Zhu Yao finally felt that familiar pain.
However, forming one's Azoth Core was different from building one's Foundation. Building one's Azoth Core only required one to break through the restriction on one's meridians, and expand the amount of spiritual energy one could absorb. However, forming one's Azoth Core required one to compress and store spiritual energy. This process required extreme care, as a slight mistake could possibly cause one's Dantian to shatter, and the formation of the Azoth Core would fail.
Zhu Yao inspected herself for a moment, and realized that the lightning spiritual energy in her body was already filled to the brim, and it was beginning to surge in all directions. If this continued, her meridians would definitely be torn apart. She could only endure the immense pain, and follow the method her master taught her, slowly guiding the spiritual energy into her Dantian, and then, compressing the lightning energy.
It sounded simple, but in reality, it was extremely difficult. She wasn't a compressor, and spiritual energy did not have a physical body in the first place, so how could it shrink just like that?
No matter how she guided it with her mental energy, the spiritual energy would always swell up when it was compressed on one side, and it was very hard to control. Unless there was some sort of energy that could make it circulate everywhere, and converge into a single point.
Zhu Yao pondered for a moment, and unknowingly, she thought of centrifugal force. If objects were to continuously circulate in the same direction, they would converge into a single point. Just like stirring water in the same direction, it would form a whirlpool with a single point as the main point. If she were to compress the spiritual energy around the point of the whirlpool, she would be able to roll it into a ball like a ball of fur?
When she thought of this method, she immediately circulated the spiritual energy in her Dantian, and towards a single direction, she began to circulate it at an extreme speed. As expected, at the center of the circulation, the pressure slowly compressed into a single point. That point was extremely small, but as more and more spiritual energy was drawn in, the point slowly began to expand as well, from a point to the size of a bean. However, the spiritual energy in her body had already been completely consumed.
She had no choice but to continue to crazily absorb spiritual energy. A large amount of spiritual energy entered her body, and was instantly absorbed by the whirlpool in her Dantian. The bean grew larger as well. And the remaining five purple lightning bolts in the stone room were rapidly disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye as well.
When Yu Yan entered, he just happened to see the last bolt of lightning disappearing. Hurriedly, he pulled out another three, and threw them up. Only then did he manage to prevent the spiritual energy from going berserk. Turning back to look at his disciple in the middle, she seemed to be surrounded by a large amount of Lightning Spiritual Energy. Furthermore, the Lightning Spiritual Energy seemed to have received some kind of command, revolving around her in a certain direction.
Although he knew that his disciple's affinity with lightning spiritual energy was extremely high, this was the first time he had seen such obedient lightning spiritual energy. It was as if everything was working according to her will.
After an unknown period of time, Zhu Yao felt that the pea in her body slowly turned into the size of a marble, and it could no longer move anymore. Only then did she stop.
Dan succeeded.
Only then did Zhu Yao heave a sigh of relief. Opening her eyes, she just happened to see Yu Yan who was sitting in front of her with a stern expression.
"Master? Will you come and protect me? "
"En!" Yu Yan responded. Reaching out a finger, he tapped on her forehead. "Relax, let me take a look at your Dantian."
A gust of refreshing energy charged straight into her Dantian. Zhu Yao instinctively wanted to stop it, but when she heard his words, she relaxed.
Yu Yan inspected her Dantian, and as expected, he saw a round and smooth silver Azoth Core floating on top of it. It was filled with spiritual energy, and there were strands of lightning surrounding it. Looking at the Azoth Core carefully, there were even streaks of purple patterns.
Yu Yan was even more astonished. Usually, Azoth Cores were rarely this round and smooth, and did not have any sharp edges at all. It had to be known that compressing spiritual energy was a very taxing and time-consuming task. It was impossible to do it flawlessly. Hence, every person's Azoth Core had a different shape, but in general, they all had sharp edges.
His disciple's … completely did not have any!
Yu Yan retracted his hand, and looked at Zhu Yao for a moment. He was getting more and more unable to understand this disciple of his.
"Master, master, how is it? How is it?" Although she had formed her Azoth Core, she still did not have any concept of it.
Yu Yan was silent for a moment, before nodding. "Not bad! Your Azoth Core is much more condensed than a normal person's. "
Hearing his praise, Zhu Yao completely entered into a smug mode. "Hahahaha, I knew it. Master, look, I have already formed my Azoth Core. Are there any rewards?"
Zhu Yao reached out her hand, and put on an expression that looked as though she was begging for praise and rewards.
Yu Yan was startled for a moment. Looking at her eyes that were about to emit out stars, he nodded. Forming a Azoth Core was indeed a reward. He then took out a bottle, and placed it in her palm.
Zhu Yao's eyes instantly shone a few degrees brighter. She immediately opened the bottle cap and looked inside. Her excited expression earlier, instantly darkened completely.
The hell, why is it candy!?
Raising her head, she looked at a certain master who had a calm expression. What should she do if she wanted to deceive her master and destroy her ancestors?
"Master …" Zhu Yao planned to discuss with her master about the education methods, but the moment she stood up, she suddenly stepped on something, and fell onto the ground with a plop.
Strangely, she glanced at her sleeves and trousers that suddenly grew longer, and realized something.
The hell! Why did she turn back into a child!?
— — — —
Because forming her Azoth Core used up all of the spiritual energy in Zhu Yao's body, she once again returned to her original appearance, the appearance of a seven year old child. That's right, she spent seven years before finally forming her Azoth Core.
Her master said that she had just formed her Azoth Core, and once her realm stabilized, this situation of turning into a child would no longer occur.
After forming her Azoth Core, there would be a Great Lightning Tribulation. As long as she left this place, the heavens and earth would sense it, and then, the Lightning Tribulation would descend. However, in her current situation, it was extremely dangerous to leave this place. Hence, the best solution was to first fully charge the stone room. No, wait, it was to recover her spiritual energy before leaving. There was an isolation formation here, so she would not be discovered by the Lightning Tribulation for now.
Hence, she had no choice but to continue meditating, and absorb spiritual energy. Raising her head, she glanced at the last bolt of purple lightning above her head, which had already lost a huge amount of weight. Zhu Yao jokingly said. "Don't be anxious, I'm going to eat you later."
When her words fell, the lightning which was still quietly emitting light by itself earlier, suddenly began to twist in a flirtatious manner, emitting out even louder crackling sounds. It had an excited look, as though it had taken drugs.
Zhu Yao was speechless. Why didn't she know that these lightning bolts had a masochistic attribute? They were still so excited when they heard that they were going to be eaten.
The more the lightning twisted, the happier it became. Zhu Yao decided to speed up, and eat it as soon as possible.
After spending another half a day, Zhu Yao's spiritual energy finally recovered, and her body was filled with energy as well … No, she had returned to the appearance of a young girl. However, she was still unable to completely absorb that bolt of lightning.
"Let's go!" Zhu Yao waved her hands, and left the stone room.
That bolt of lightning, had also turned into a series of twists and turns, shaking towards her. As though it was waving at her.
