177: The fire of true essence is simply burning!
Miao Qingsha indeed did not know that there was abnormal Spiritual Qi within her body.
Hearing Su Yang's words, she immediately frowned.
"How could there be someone else's Spiritual Qi in my body?"
"Impossible..."
Miao Qingsha stopped mid-sentence, seemingly having thought of something.
The resolute expression on her face also disappeared, as if she had recalled the origin of this Spiritual Qi.
However, Miao Qingsha had no intention of telling Su Yang why this abnormal Spiritual Qi appeared in her body.
Miao Qingsha said, "If you put it that way, I probably know why there's Spiritual Qi from others in my body, but the cause isn't important anymore. The most important thing now is, do you think this part of Spiritual Qi that doesn't belong to me is interfering with my advancement and Breakthrough?"
Su Yang nodded with great certainty: "Although this Spiritual Qi has almost merged with your own Spiritual Qi, showing no obvious difference, it is still Spiritual Qi from someone else, and it can never be completely transformed into your own True Essence. This results in a mass of unrefinable Spiritual Qi constantly occupying your body. In this situation, wanting to Breakthrough is basically impossible."
Miao Qingsha's expression visibly grew anxious.
She truly hadn't expected that the reason for her prolonged inability to Breakthrough lay in this.
Moreover, from Su Yang's tone, it seemed like a very serious matter.
Miao Qingsha asked nervously, "Then, do you mean I'll never have a chance to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul Late-Stage?"
Su Yang was silent for a moment.
He said in an uncertain tone, "It's not that there's no chance. The Spiritual Qi in your body is stronger than your own power, so with your own power, you cannot refine it into True Essence."
"But my cultivation method is special, and my Physique is special. Perhaps I have a way to refine this special Spiritual Qi in your body, but..."
Su Yang paused, his expression becoming serious: "But this process might be extremely painful for you. If you are determined to solve this problem, you must be prepared to endure the pain."
Upon hearing that there was a chance to resolve the trouble remaining in her body, Miao Qingsha immediately nodded without hesitation: "As long as there's a chance to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul Late-Stage, I can endure any amount of pain. What pain could be more despairing than being unable to Breakthrough indefinitely?!"
Since Miao Qingsha had said so, Su Yang naturally had no need to say anything more.
"Then prepare yourself."
After uttering these words, Su Yang immediately closed his eyes again, entering a state of Cultivation.
After experiencing the Yellow Springs Desert, Su Yang already possessed both an Innate Water Spiritual Root and an Innate Fire Spiritual Root; he could switch between them at will.
What he needed to do now was to use the Innate First-Grade Fire Spiritual Root, unlocked by his Innate Kidney Body, to purify the abnormal Spiritual Qi in her body.
Su Yang's kidneys emitted a dazzling red light, accompanied by a fierce Fire of True Essence.
Su Yang guided the Fire of True Essence into his Meridians, igniting the Spiritual Qi circulating within the Meridians, and simultaneously introduced the fiercely burning Fire of True Essence into Miao Qingsha's body through the Spiritual Root, their only connecting bridge.
As the Fire of True Essence entered Miao Qingsha's Meridians, the Spiritual Qi within her Meridians was immediately ignited completely.
"Mmm..."
Miao Qingsha groaned, her face instantly showing an expression of extreme pain. This pain even made her whole body tremble, and she subconsciously grabbed Su Yang's shoulder, drenched in sweat, with large beads of sweat rolling down her face.
Her cultivation base had already been completely suppressed by Su Yang, and at this moment, she was relying purely on her Nascent Soul Middle Stage physical quality to forcefully endure the fiercely burning Fire of True Essence within her body.
She didn't know if Su Yang's method would succeed, but she had no other retreat now, she could only trust Su Yang to help her solve this problem.
Su Yang kept his eyes closed, his concentration highly focused.
His cultivation base had already reached Nascent Soul Late-Stage Peak, and if it weren't for Crimson Phoenix, he would have already broken through to Soul Transformation Early Stage.
With his current cultivation base level, coupled with the Fire of True Essence ignited by his Innate Kidney Body, it was definitely not something Miao Qingsha could easily withstand.
If he didn't control it, Miao Qingsha might be refined by this Fire of True Essence from within her body.
He had to control the Fire of True Essence to a level where it could purify the Spiritual Qi from others in her body without causing too severe damage to her body.
This was a technical skill.
Su Yang had to be extremely careful.
The Spiritual Qi remaining in Miao Qingsha's body, although stronger than Miao Qingsha's own power, was still insignificant in front of the fiercely burning Fire of True Essence ignited by the Innate Kidney Body.
This Spiritual Qi tried to struggle, but facing the raging Fire of True Essence, resistance was meaningless, and struggling was futile.
This abnormal Spiritual Qi, which had resided in Miao Qingsha's body for many years, was quickly ignited and then disappeared.
Su Yang immediately shut down the Innate Kidney Body, the source of the fire, and then the Fire of True Essence in Miao Qingsha's body extinguished.
All of this happened in just a few breaths.
But these few breaths felt like years of torment to Miao Qingsha.
Although Su Yang had tried his best to keep the Fire of True Essence at a relatively weak level, it still caused significant damage to Miao Qingsha's body.
Her Meridians suffered severe internal burns.
This caused her body extreme pain.
Even though the Fire of True Essence had extinguished, the pain of the Meridians being burned from within did not lessen at all.
She had tried her best to anticipate all the pain she might endure, but she didn't expect it to be this severe.
Just then, Su Yang's voice appeared in her mind: "I have cleared the abnormal Spiritual Qi from your body. Logically, you should be able to Breakthrough now. However, your injuries are severe, and I need to help you heal first. Circulate Spiritual Qi along with my guidance; during this process, your internal injuries will naturally repair themselves."
Miao Qingsha nodded, enduring the pain to enter a Cultivation state, circulating Spiritual Qi along with Su Yang's guidance.
The Spiritual Qi she absorbed herself had limited healing effects on the internal burns of her Meridians. However, after circulating through Su Yang's body and returning, this Spiritual Qi immediately became different, having an extremely strong healing effect on the Meridian burns.
The Meridian burns were rapidly repaired in a short time, and the internal burns were healing and recovering at a visible speed.
Miao Qingsha's unbearable pain also rapidly decreased.
In less than a quarter of an hour.
Miao Qingsha felt that her internal burns had completely recovered.
Su Yang did not specifically stop, nor did Miao Qingsha stop to thank Su Yang, but continued to circulate the Spiritual Qi in her body according to Su Yang's guidance.
The Spiritual Mist in the cave, almost solidified, surged wildly into their bodies.
The Spiritual Qi outside the cave also gathered frantically towards this direction; whether they could successfully Breakthrough depended on this moment...
