Saving the White Moonlight Chapter 80

If they had not been in this time-rift training room, Yan Zhuguang might not have had the patience to explain so much to the system.
After obtaining the Wanfu Core Pearl, she began preparing to rebuild her spiritual root.
She took out the green jade pendant that held the hidden realm. Her fingertip tapped the pendant, and her whole person disappeared from the training room. The jade pendant floated faintly in the training room and began spinning.
Yan Zhuguang herself appeared in one part of the hidden realm. This was the place where the Blood Sacrifice Spirit Vine had swallowed that needle-leaf spiritual plant.
She stood on the square that had once been carved with a defensive formation.
“Why did Host choose this place?”
The system looked around. This place was the same as when they left before. Nothing had changed. The large pit left after the needle-leaf spiritual plant was swallowed was still there, and no other spiritual plant had moved in.
“There is no special meaning,” Yan Zhuguang said. “This place is just a little familiar, and the ground is relatively flat.”
“Oh…”
“Besides, this place has a defensive formation. I can make use of it.”
“Will Host face any danger while rebuilding the spiritual root?”
“There are countless demonic beasts in this hidden realm. Can you guarantee that no danger will suddenly appear? Naturally, it is best to prepare every defense.”
The system thought about it and agreed. Although this hidden realm was now inside the time-rift training room, the things inside it could still move, just like Host. If something came to disturb Host while she rebuilt her spiritual root, it would be dangerous.
Sigh. Cultivation was truly not easy.
Although there was no danger inside that training room, there was also no spiritual energy inside it, so there was no way to cultivate. Even if spirit stones could be used, if they were not calculated clearly and ran out at a key moment, would that not be fatal?
This hidden realm had been specially made to cultivate spiritual plants. The jade pendant would automatically absorb spiritual energy from outside and transform it into wood-element spiritual energy. The wood-element spiritual energy stored inside was very abundant, exactly the kind of environment Host needed.
Cultivating here with spirit stones as support meant that even if the spirit stones ran out, the spiritual energy in the hidden realm could hold things up for a while. Host would also have enough time to switch spirit stones. No matter what happened, there would be a way to handle it. This was full preparation.
After following Host for a long time, the system already understood many of Host’s thoughts.
Yan Zhuguang did not speak to the system again. The system obediently shut itself into its little space so it would not accidentally disturb Host.
She first threw the Blood Sacrifice Spirit Vine from her wrist outside the square and ordered it to move freely nearby as her first layer of protection.
After the Blood Sacrifice Spirit Vine landed, it changed back to its original size and twisted on the open ground outside the square. The green vine turned back toward Yan Zhuguang and reached in her direction, seeming a little reluctant and wanting to return. In the end, under Yan Zhuguang’s command, it obediently stayed outside.
After that, Yan Zhuguang was not stingy. She took out a large handful of mid-grade spirit stones and quickly arranged them, fully activating the square carved with a defensive formation. Three layers of defensive barriers firmly protected Yan Zhuguang inside. This was the second layer of protection.
With these two layers of protection, and with Yan Zhuguang being the master of the hidden realm, no uncontrollable situation should appear.
Then Yan Zhuguang began making arrangements before rebuilding her spiritual root.
The system saw Yan Zhuguang take out a large handful of wood spirit stones and arrange them into a round formation according to some pattern. At every spiritual energy node, Yan Zhuguang found a way to place dozens of wood spirit stones. It was as if wood spirit stones cost nothing.
Host was always very willing to spend when it came to her own cultivation.
After arranging a formation that gave even the system a headache to look at, Yan Zhuguang took out the Wanfu Core Pearl she had exchanged for with the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed. She removed the thin membrane on the pearl and ignored how her palm quickly turned black after touching the Wanfu Core Pearl. She began drawing something on it with crushed wood spirit stone powder.
The surface of the Wanfu Core Pearl was gradually covered by a layer of green spiritual light. Yan Zhuguang did not feel one layer was enough. Without minding the trouble, she layered more and more on top of it until she finally sealed the Wanfu Core Pearl inside a large sphere made of green spiritual light.
Yan Zhuguang opened her hand. The palm-sized green light sphere floated in the air. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and began adjusting her breathing, fully recovering from the energy she had just used.
After that, she hung the green light sphere in the center of the formation made of wood spirit stones and sat cross-legged below it. Her fingers flew as she formed layers of hand seals. When the hand seals stopped, the formation immediately activated.
Countless threads made of green light flew out from the green light sphere and the outer ring of the circular formation. They slowly connected, forming a small green-light tent centered on the green light sphere. After connecting with the green light sphere, the formation began spinning faster.
Before long, the green light sphere was slowly dyed black. That black color quickly spread along the connected threads of spiritual light toward the formation, slowly turning the countless wood spirit stones in the formation black too.
That was the wood-attribute poison spiritual energy inside the Wanfu Core Pearl. Yan Zhuguang used this formation to draw out that special poison spiritual energy and turn all the wood spirit stones she had set down into wood-attribute poison spirit stones.
This method was much more troublesome than using spirit grain insects. However, spirit grain insects could not withstand the Wanfu Core Pearl’s power, so Yan Zhuguang could only use this slower method.
Inside the training room, there was no sense of time passing. Yan Zhuguang soon transformed more than half of those wood spirit stones. She did not keep waiting. She circulated her dantian and began absorbing this unique poison spiritual energy.
Her hand seals changed nonstop. Yan Zhuguang used a secret method to guide the special spiritual energy passing through her wood spiritual root to rebuild it.
Even though she had already transformed four spiritual roots, when she truly began to completely transform her main spiritual root, the feeling was still unpleasant.
Yan Zhuguang endured the feeling as if countless thin needles were stabbing her. Since she had already begun, she simply pushed through and sped up the rebuilding.
The system hid in its space, watching Host’s face turn green, then white, then black. It was frightened. It had never seen someone so ruthless to herself. No wonder Host could be so powerful. There was a reason.
It held its breath. Although it could not see how Host’s spiritual root was being rebuilt, it could see that most of the black wood spirit stones outside had been absorbed by Yan Zhuguang until they turned into fine powder and disappeared.
The remaining smaller portion of poison spirit stones was also being absorbed quickly by Host. It looked as if the speed of poison spirit stone transformation would soon fail to keep up with Host’s absorption.
The system bit its small handkerchief and worried. If there was not enough poison spiritual energy, would Host be harmed?
It did not know whether it had any way to help…
Fortunately, Yan Zhuguang was always reliable. She did not face the awkward situation of running out of poison spirit stones. Before that happened, the speed at which she absorbed poison spiritual energy suddenly slowed.
Just as the poison spirit stones were nearly emptied, Yan Zhuguang’s absorption of poison spiritual energy also stopped completely.
Next, Yan Zhuguang continued using the special poison spiritual energy she had absorbed into her body to rebuild her spiritual root. The wood spirit stones left in the formation were also still slowly transforming into poison spirit stones.
In this strange training room, Yan Zhuguang’s sense of time became blurred. While she transformed her spiritual root, some strange demonic beasts did indeed come to attack.
Most of them stumbled in by mistake with muddled heads. Almost before they even hit the formation, they were dealt with by the bored Blood Sacrifice Spirit Vine. Bone, skin, and fur were all eaten clean, with nothing left behind.
Without outside interference, Yan Zhuguang’s transformation went very smoothly.
Including her previous life, this was almost her third time rebuilding a spiritual root. Although rebuilding the main spiritual root was a huge project, it could still be called familiar work. This time, Yan Zhuguang passed through the spiritual-root rebuild with almost no fright or danger.
After sitting for a long time, Yan Zhuguang let out a breath of turbid air and opened her eyes.
The system tested softly, “Host, did you succeed?”
Yan Zhuguang answered calmly, “Mm.”
“Wonderful!” The system was very happy for her. Host had finally fulfilled a wish. “What will Host do next?”
“Transform all the spiritual energy in my body into wood-attribute Five Poisons spiritual energy,” Yan Zhuguang said.
Right now, the spiritual energy in her body was still wood spiritual energy and four-attribute poison spiritual energy. She needed to transform all the spiritual energy in her body into wood-attribute Five Poisons spiritual energy.
This process was a little long. If not for the training room, Yan Zhuguang would have had to spend much more effort.
“Oh.”
Yan Zhuguang stood up, collected the successfully transformed poison spirit stones, took out new wood spirit stones, and put them into the formation. After that, she withdrew the defensive formation and left the square.
The moment she left, the Blood Sacrifice Spirit Vine quickly flew to her side and wrapped around her. Yan Zhuguang stroked the green vine. It seemed a good bit thicker. Who knew what strange things it had eaten during this period?
Fortunately, the Blood Sacrifice Spirit Vine had eaten everything clean. Otherwise, when she came out, the outside might have become a garbage pile.
She reopened the defensive formation and protected the formation that transformed poison spiritual energy inside it. Then she said, “Let us go. We will vent a little.” And clear out all the spiritual energy inside her body.
…
A hand landed on the green jade pendant and put it away.
“Are you leaving? Host does not plan to stay a little longer?”
Yan Zhuguang had already returned to the training room.
Transforming all the spiritual energy in her body into wood-attribute Five Poisons spiritual energy was only slow grinding work. In the training room, she could not feel time passing, and before she knew it, it was done.
After completing this, Yan Zhuguang left the hidden realm space.
“There is no need.”
The things she needed to do were already done. Staying in this training room would only be meaningless delay.
“After Host leaves, this training room will disappear,” the system reminded her again.
“Mm.”
Yan Zhuguang did not waver at all. With a thought, she left the training room.
Almost at the same time she left, a mysterious power suddenly descended above Qinggong Tower. It was as if endless power of heaven and earth pressed down, almost twisting the space above Qinggong Tower.
The people guarding outside the tower could not help raising their heads. “Lightning tribulation?”
“Someone inside the tower broke through to Golden Core?”
Yun Mixue also raised her head. She looked carefully at that lightning tribulation, and for some reason, she suddenly thought of the time at Yimiao Sect…
That heavenly lightning that had purified Zhuguang’s spiritual root into a single spiritual root had almost exactly the same aura as the lightning tribulation before her.
This was… Zhuguang undergoing tribulation.
Yun Mixue inexplicably had this thought. Her eyes looked toward that green treasure tower, as if passing through the magical treasure’s layers of restrictions and looking into the tower.
Yan Zhuguang had entered the training room from her own true intent space, and when she came out, she was still here. The endless whip shadows were striking at her from every direction.
Yan Zhuguang raised her head and glanced upward, as if seeing the lightning tribulation slowly forming above Qinggong Tower.
She had rebuilt her spiritual root, and the Heavenly Dao actually reacted again?
She casually blocked the flying whip shadows. The next moment, that true intent space was shattered by her.
Yan Zhuguang suddenly thought of those jade-white hands that had lifted her from the heavenly tribulation pit. She wondered whether Eldest Senior Sister would notice that this heavenly tribulation was different from others.
