"I still need to keep trying for a while. It will probably take about a month. I should, maybe, probably be able to get initiated into the Spirit Ascension Method," Dugu Yan said.
She really didn't have much confidence.
This wasn't just a matter of following simple instructions anymore. Manipulating spirit power to perform such a massive and complex circulation within the body required too much mental effort.
It was very easy for it to be smooth at the beginning, only to suddenly break off later.
This kind of thing required adaptation. It required constant cultivation to form muscle memory so that one could circulate this Spirit Ascension Method 'relatively easily' when absorbing a spirit ring.
"Sister Yan, you just consumed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. You should be somewhat different from before. Maybe you'll succeed in less than a month."
Leaving aside the cleansing effect of the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone on Dugu Yan's spirit, simply the feeling of cultivation after her riddled body was healed at a deep level was completely different.
Having consumed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Dugu Yan gradually adapted to the ice and fire energy permeating the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. She no longer needed Dugu Bo to dispel the energy for her.
However, she still couldn't get too close to the spring's eye and could only stay in the periphery for extended periods.
But even in the periphery, her cultivation efficiency far exceeded that of the outside world, even slightly superior to the mimicry cultivation environment of the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
Of course, if she could transform this place into her own mimicry cultivation environment, the efficiency would increase even further.
Just like Su Wen—originally, the boost he received here was only from the concentration and quality of the heaven and earth origin energy. Now, however, he visualized this place, forming a unique mimicry cultivation, gaining an even greater boost.
The Visualization Method, with Su Wen's visualization, had become richer and richer.
Even if he wasn't in a mimicry environment, the environment within his Visualization Method was enough to provide the feeling and effect of a mimicry environment for his cultivation.
And if he cultivated in a real mimicry environment, the impact on Su Wen's cultivation speed wouldn't be significant, but it would boost Su Wen's spiritual power cultivation.
The Visualization Method was constructed with spiritual power.
In fact, the principle wasn't difficult. The visualized mimicry environment was like an infant. Under the nourishment of the real environment outside, the visualized object was nourished by similar characteristics, thereby causing the spiritual power constituting the visualization to slowly improve.
Especially in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, under the ice and fire environment, the tempering of Su Wen's spiritual power was more thorough, making his spiritual power improve steadily while also becoming full of resilience.

"Little Wen, inviting you here this time is also regarding the matter of Rongrong's spirit ring," Ning Fengzhi said.
"What's wrong with Rongrong?"
"The age of Rongrong's second spirit ring exceeded the original limit. Now for the third spirit ring, you also understand her situation. How many years do you think the spirit ring she absorbs should be?"
Ning Fengzhi really wasn't very clear about this.
For this kind of thing, one would only know the corresponding spirit ring impact and the difficulty of cross-level absorption at different stages after experiencing it personally.
From childhood to adulthood, every one of Ning Fengzhi's spirit rings was close to the limit of its age. The third ring was just over a thousand years, and the fourth ring was close to five thousand years.
He didn't know exactly what the level of a two or three-thousand-year spirit ring was.
Although it could be inferred, it ultimately wasn't real enough.
Su Wen expressed that he didn't know either.
Jumping directly from just over a thousand years to more than five thousand years—Su Wen couldn't give a clear judgment on what the spirit rings in between were like.
Of course, he had experienced cross-level absorption for his third ring and knew the pressure on a Spirit Master from exceeding the age limit in that situation.
"Uncle Ning, Rongrong's own foundation should be able to withstand a two-thousand-year spirit ring. Plus my Spirit Ascension Method, two thousand years is no problem at all. I dare not say about three thousand years."
Ning Fengzhi nodded.
He thought so too.
"But right now, Rongrong hasn't fully mastered the Spirit Ascension Method yet."
With low spirit power, the efficiency of exploration was low. Starting to add the initiation of the Spirit Ascension Method into the cultivation project almost at the same time, Ning Rongrong's progress was still much worse than Dugu Yan's.
"Then let Rongrong continue to cultivate first, and cultivate the Spirit Ring Fusion Method along the way. In addition, I also have a gift for Rongrong. Letting her refine it before absorbing the third ring can also help her obtain a better spirit ring."
"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi was surprised, not knowing what the gift Su Wen mentioned was.
He immediately ordered someone to call Ning Rongrong over.
"Big Brother Wen, you came to see me!" Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing Su Wen, and she came up to him.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi was gratified but also slightly helpless.
"Rongrong, I brought you a big treasure this time," Su Wen laughed, taking out the prepared Beautiful Silk Tulip from his storage spirit tool.
As the Beautiful Silk Tulip was taken out by Su Wen, all the light in the entire hall seemed to be attracted by it instantly.
The first impression given by the Beautiful Silk Tulip was one of grace and luxury.
Ning Fengzhi instinctively felt a desire. Even the Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo's expressions changed slightly at this moment, feeling that the medicinal power of this herb was astonishing, making them faintly sense its surging medicinal properties.
Ning Rongrong let out a "Wow" of surprise, looking at this Beautiful Silk Tulip, her eyes twinkling with light.
"I got this from Grandpa Dugu. This Beautiful Silk Tulip absorbs the essence of heaven and earth and draws in the radiance of the sun and moon. It fits Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda very well." Su Wen handed the Beautiful Silk Tulip to Ning Rongrong and instructed, "Rongrong, suck the stamen of this Beautiful Silk Tulip, inhale the essence into your mouth, and then circulate your spirit power to move it throughout your body."
Ning Rongrong looked at Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi didn't stop her from absorbing it and nodded.
According to Su Wen, absorbing this Beautiful Silk Tulip would probably increase Ning Rongrong's spirit power by at least six or seven levels. And this was only the most superficial medicinal effect; more medicinal effects would integrate into her body, providing assistance for her future cultivation.
The quality of the Beautiful Silk Tulip's medicinal properties reminded him of菊 Douluo's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. It had reached an extremely high grade. Consuming such a treasure wouldn't cause damage to the body.
Moreover, he also believed that Su Wen wouldn't let Rongrong absorb anything detrimental to her body.
Ning Rongrong began to suck the essence from the stamen of the Beautiful Silk Tulip as Su Wen said, circulating her spirit power to send it into her limbs and bones.
During the absorption process, Ning Fengzhi also took the opportunity to discuss theories on spirits with Su Wen.
Every discussion with Su Wen allowed Ning Fengzhi to gain something. In his opinion, Su Wen's theoretical level had completely surpassed his.
And the fact was indeed so.
Su Wen had now turned to researching fields such as spirit skills, not just researching the two fields of spirits and spirit power circulation.
Ning Rongrong opened her eyes, feeling more comfortable than ever before.
Vaguely, she felt that her spirit seemed to be different, so she released it.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in his daughter's hand, rubbed his eyes, and counted carefully several times before murmuring: "Nine layers..."
"Nine layers!" Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo were getting annoyed listening to the theories. Seeing Ning Rongrong finish absorbing the Beautiful Silk Tulip at this moment, they looked over immediately. Seeing the nine-layer pagoda in her hand, they instantly discovered the difference.
