Chapter 289 - Xiaoning’s Path
By the time Su Zimo returned to Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop, it was already late at night.
Landing softly in the courtyard, his ears quivered and he listened intently, vaguely hearing two stable streams of breathing emanating from Nian Qi’s room.
In the darkness, a black figure that resembled a ghost walked over silently – it was Night Spirit.
Su Zimo relaxed slightly and calmed down.
As long as Night Spirit was around, it meant that Night Spirit and Xiaoning were safe.
They must have already slept.
Xiaoning had experienced many things today.
Initially, she was able to create a perfect Spirit Regeneration Elixir during her elixir competition with He Xing, but she was met with an ambush and her elixir formation failed.
Even if an elixir as such only existed in the illusory tales of the legends, she wanted to give it a shot for that sliver of hope in her heart.
Suddenly, Su Zimo realized something.
It was not a coincidence that Xiaoning had such achievements in elixir refinement.
Her persistence was not something that everyone possessed.
After a moment, Su Zimo asked, “What is up with that Elixir Furnace?”
Xiaoning stood up and took out the exquisite and old Elixir Furnace, placing it on the table. “I came across it on a small store in Yongxing City. Back then, I didn’t think much about it, only that it looked rather ancient and there was nothing special about it.”
“However, when I picked it up, I felt a strange feeling in my heart. That’s why I bought it but He Xing of True Fire Elixir Workshop happened to see it.”
Su Zimo looked at the Elixir Furnace thoughtfully.
Xiaoning continued, “Later on, I realized the difference after I started refining elixirs with this Elixir Furnace.”
“As long as I carry this Elixir Furnace with me, I’ll be extremely focused when I refine elixirs. If nothing major happens, it will be extremely difficult for me to be distracted!”
Suddenly, Su Zimo was enlightened.
It was no wonder that Xiaoning was in a perfect state of focus during the elixir competition the previous day. So, it was also in part thanks to this mysterious Elixir Furnace.
“Put it away.”
Su Zimo instructed, “Don’t give this Elixir Furnace to anyone no matter what. Keep it for yourself! I have a feeling that this Elixir Furnace has an impressive background.”
It was an inanimate object but it could affect one’s mental state.
Even Su Zimo would not be able to forge an Elixir Furnace as such.
“Yes!”
Xiaoning nodded.
Su Zimo pondered for a moment before saying, “From today onwards, you can cultivate here at my place. You can head back when it’s time for the sect competition.”
Many things had happened yesterday and Su Zimo would be worried if Xiaoning continued to stay in Azure Frost Elixir Workshop.
Furthermore, he was intending to make use of this final month to help Xiaoning raise her cultivation realm.
She had a pseudo spirit root and her cultivation speed was the slowest.
Therefore, Su Zimo made some supplementary array formations for Xiaoning to help her absorb spirit qi better. He only used superior-grade spirit stones for the formations!
Usually, only Golden Cores would be the ones to cultivate with superior-grade spirit stones.
However, Su Zimo’s plan was simple – he would just splurge on superior-grade spirit stones.
After all, the one thing he did not lack right now was spirit stones.
