Xu Xiaoxiao's Immortal Cultivation Life (Transmigration)

Chapter 29 Cultivating the Spirit Array 2

Li Changchun and Xu Xiaoxiao searched the mountains and forests for spiritual objects that could stabilize the array's core.

Xu Xiaoxiao felt anxious and confused. She thought, "What does this spirit creature look like? Can we find it in time? If we can't find it, Lingxu City will be in danger."

Her eyes searched continuously among the grass and trees.

Suddenly, Xu Xiaoxiao spotted a spiritual herb shimmering with a faint light. She exclaimed in delight, "Master, do you think that spiritual herb is the one we're looking for?"

He then ran over to check.

Li Changchun grabbed her arm and said cautiously, "Don't be impulsive. There are many spiritual creatures in this mountain, but some of them may have dangerous restrictions. Let's observe them carefully first."

He wasn't sure if the herb was suitable, but his years of experience in cultivating immortality made him hesitant to act rashly.

The two cautiously approached the spirit herb. Li Changchun released a wisp of spiritual power to probe it, and saw a faint green halo around the spirit herb, showing no signs of attack.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "This spiritual herb should be harmless, but it's still uncertain whether it will be helpful in stabilizing the array's core."

Xu smiled and said anxiously, "Master, why don't we take it back and try it first? It's better than searching blindly."

She was filled with hope that this magical herb could be the key to solving the problem.

After thinking for a moment, Li Changchun nodded: "Alright, let's take it back for research first. If it's not, we'll continue our search."

Back near the Great Power's cave, they placed the spiritual herbs at the core of the array and began attempting to rebuild the spiritual array.

Xu Xiaoxiao stared nervously at the spirit array, silently praying, "It must succeed."

However, although the spirit herbs stabilized the array's core somewhat after the spiritual energy was injected, the overall operation of the spirit array was still not smooth.

Xu Xiaoxiao sighed in disappointment: "Master, it still doesn't work, what should we do?"

Li Changchun frowned, pondering other solutions. He said, "Perhaps we need to adjust the structure of the spirit array to better suit the spiritual power characteristics of this spiritual herb. Xiaoxiao, let's re-examine the spirit array diagram and see where to start adjusting it."

Xu Xiaoxiao rallied her spirits and replied, "Okay, Master, I refuse to believe we can't solve this problem."

The two buried themselves in the spirit array diagram, carefully analyzing every detail, trying to find a way to break through the predicament. Both of them held a firm belief in protecting Lingxu City and were unwilling to give up easily.

Li Changchun and Xu Xiaoxiao studied the spirit array diagram for a long time. Li Changchun was the first to discover a clue. He pointed to a pattern on the diagram and said, "Xiaoxiao, look here. If we change the spiritual energy guiding path in this part, it might be able to better integrate with the spiritual energy of the spirit herb." His eyes revealed a hint of excitement and hope.

Xu Xiaoxiao leaned forward to examine it closely, and suddenly understood. At the same time, she was a little annoyed that she hadn't noticed it before. She thought to herself, "My master is indeed my master. He has so much more experience than me. I need to study harder."

He said, "Master, you're right, let's try it right away."

So the two began to adjust the spirit array according to the new approach.

During the adjustment process, Xu Xiaoxiao was fully focused, carefully changing the direction of the array patterns while precisely controlling the injection of spiritual energy.

She silently vowed to herself, "We must succeed this time. Lingxu City is still waiting for us."

As the last rune was completed and spiritual energy was slowly injected, the spirit array began to operate steadily and orderly, emitting a soft light.

Xu Xiaoxiao jumped up excitedly: "Master, we did it!"

Li Changchun also showed a relieved smile: "We finally succeeded, but this is only the first step. Next, we will face the guardian beast, whose strength should not be underestimated. We still need to prepare well."

Behind his smile lay a hint of worry, unsure of what dangers he might encounter when facing the guardian beast.

Xu Xiaoxiao clenched her fists: "Master, no matter how powerful the guardian beast is, we cannot back down. With the spirit array, we have a certain chance of winning."

Her eyes were filled with determination and fearlessness, and her sense of mission grew stronger.

After a short rest, they set off towards the location of the Heart of the Spirit.

Along the way, Xu Xiaoxiao felt both nervous and excited. She imagined what the guardian beast looked like and thought about how to use the spirit array to deal with it.

Li Changchun was silently calculating various possible situations and corresponding strategies. He knew that this trip was full of unknown dangers, but for the sake of Lingxu City, he could only forge ahead.

After Li Changchun and his apprentice finished crafting the spirit array, they bid farewell to the owner of the cave.

"The younger generation is truly formidable," the old man remarked as he watched them descend the mountain.

As the two approached the hidden location of the Spiritual Source Heart, the surrounding air grew increasingly heavy, faintly radiating a powerful pressure.

Xu Xiaoxiao could clearly hear her heart pounding. Her heart was filled with tension and unease as she thought to herself, "This guardian beast's aura is so powerful, can we handle it?"

But she quickly reaffirmed her belief: "No matter what, I cannot back down. The safety of Lingxu City rests entirely on this."

Suddenly, a deep roar came, followed by a huge guardian beast resembling a Qilin emerging from the mist.

It radiated a dazzling golden light, and its eyes, like burning flames, stared intently at Li Changchun and Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao instinctively hid behind Li Changchun, who calmly protected her behind him and whispered, "Don't be afraid. Set up the spirit array as we practiced before."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, and the two quickly got to work, their hand seals constantly changing as streams of spiritual energy flowed into the ground. The spiritual array instantly unfolded, and light shot into the sky, forming barriers.

Seeing this, the Qilin guardian beast charged at them angrily, and with a swipe of its huge claw, a golden light shot towards the spirit array.

The spirit array shook violently, and Xu Xiaoxiao cried out nervously, "Master, it's so powerful!"

While stabilizing the spirit array, Li Changchun said, "Don't panic, the spirit array can temporarily trap it. We'll look for an opportunity to rush towards the Heart of the Spirit Source."

However, the Qilin guardian beast continued to attack, and the light of the spirit array gradually dimmed.

Xu Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious. Looking at the crumbling spirit array, she made a bold decision.

She said to Li Changchun, "Master, I'll distract it, and you can take the opportunity to go to the Heart of the Spiritual Source."

Li Changchun's eyes widened: "No, that's too dangerous!"

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes were firm: "Master, there's no time to hesitate. This is our only chance. I'll be careful."

Having said that, she disregarded Li Changchun's obstruction and resolutely rushed out of the spirit array, brandishing her long sword to attract the attention of the Qilin guardian beast.

Attracted by Xu Xiaoxiao's provocation, the Qilin guardian beast turned around and pounced on her.

While nimbly dodging the Qilin's attacks, Xu Xiaoxiao kept an eye on Li Changchun's actions, silently praying, "Master, you must succeed."

Although she was afraid, she was determined to fight with all her might for the sake of Lingxu City and to live up to her master's teachings. Perhaps it was because she ate that spiritual fruit that her spiritual energy replenishment was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators.

Li Changchun watched Xu Xiaoxiao navigate the danger, his heart filled with worry and reluctance, but he knew he couldn't hesitate at this moment.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Qilin was lured away, he quickly rushed towards the Heart of Spiritual Origin.

As Xu Xiaoxiao fought and retreated, she gradually became exhausted. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and her breathing became rapid.

"Hold on, I can't give up."

She gritted her teeth, her longsword flashing in the air as she tried to block the Qilin's attack.

The Qilin seemed to sense Li Changchun's intention. It roared angrily, its light intensified, and it stomped its foot, sending a powerful shockwave towards Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao was unable to dodge in time and was knocked to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Just as the Qilin was about to deliver the fatal blow to Xu Xiaoxiao, Li Changchun shouted from the Heart of the Spiritual Source: "Beast, stop hurting people!"

He successfully found a way to purify the Heart of Spiritual Origin. With a spell in his hand, he drew upon the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and the Heart of Spiritual Origin released a powerful purifying force that enveloped the Qilin.

Sensing this power, the Qilin turned around and pounced on Li Changchun again.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao endured the pain and got up, rushing forward again to entangle with the Qilin.

"Master, finish the purification quickly!" she shouted, her mind filled with only one belief: to buy time for her master.

Li Changchun accelerated, fusing his own spiritual power with the power of the Spiritual Source Heart to form a huge purifying light ball, which he then vigorously pushed towards the Qilin.

The Qilin was struck by the ball of light, letting out a painful howl, and the evil aura on its body gradually dissipated.
