"I still need to continue trying for a while, it might take about a month or so, but I should probably be able to grasp the basics of the Spirit Ascension Method," Dugu Yan said.
She really didn't have much confidence.
It's not just a matter of operating like a fool, but manipulating the massive and complex operation of Soul Power within the body requires too much mental effort.
It's easy for things to go smoothly at first and then suddenly break down.
This is something that requires adaptation, continuous practice, and muscle memory to form, in order to 'relatively easily' operate this Spirit Ascension Method when absorbing Spirit Rings.
"Sister Yan, you just took the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, so it should be somewhat different from before. Perhaps you'll succeed in less than a month."
Not to mention the refining effect of the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone on Dugu Yan's Martial Spirit, just the feeling of cultivation after her heavily deeply wounded body was healed is completely different.
After taking the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, Dugu Yan gradually adapted to the ice and fire qi permeating the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, no longer needing Dugu Bo to disperse the ice and fire qi for her.
However, she still couldn't get too close to the spring, only able to stay on the periphery for a long time.
Nevertheless, even on the periphery, her cultivation efficiency far surpassed that in the outside world, slightly surpassing even the simulated cultivation environment of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
Of course, if she could transform this place into her simulated cultivation environment, her efficiency would increase even more.
Just like Su Wen, who originally only received the enhancement of the density and quality of heaven and earth energy here, now by visualizing this place, forming a unique simulated cultivation, he receives even greater blessings.
The visualization method, as Su Wen's visualization becomes richer and richer.
Even if not in the Mimetic Environment, the environment in the visualization method is enough to provide him with the feeling and effect of the Mimetic Environment for his cultivation.
And if he cultivates in the Mimetic Environment, the impact on Su Wen's cultivation speed is not significant, but it does enhance Su Wen's Spiritual Power cultivation.
The visualization method is constructed with Spiritual Power.
In fact, the principle is not difficult. The Mimetic Environment visualized is like a nurturing womb, under the nourishment of the real environment, the visualized objects are nourished by its similar qualities, thus slowly enhancing the Spiritual Power that constitutes the visualization.
Especially in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, under the environment of ice and fire, Su Wen's Spiritual Power is tempered more thoroughly, steadily enhancing his Spiritual Power while also making it resilient.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Xiaowen, the reason I asked you to come this time is about Rongrong's Spirit Ring," Ning Fengzhi said.
"What's wrong with Rongrong?"
"Rongrong's second Spirit Ring has exceeded its original limit in terms of years. Now, with the Third Spirit Ring, you understand her situation. How many years of Spirit Rings do you think she should absorb?"
Ning Fengzhi really wasn't very clear about this.
This kind of thing, you only know the corresponding years of Spirit Ring impact and the difficulty of absorbing rings across different realms through personal experience.
From childhood to adulthood, Ning Fengzhi's Spirit Rings have all been close to the limit years, with the third ring exceeding a thousand years, and the fourth ring approaching five thousand years.
Although one can speculate, it's ultimately not precise enough.
Su Wen indicated his uncertainty as well.
Jumping directly from a thousand years to over five thousand, Su Wen couldn't give a definitive judgment on the specific situation of the intermediate Spirit Rings either.
Of course, he has experienced the absorption of rings across realms, and he knows the pressure it puts on a Spirit Master when exceeding the limit during such absorption.
"Uncle Ning, Rongrong's foundation should be able to withstand a two-thousand-year-old Spirit Ring. With my Spirit Ascension Method, two thousand years old shouldn't be a problem, but I can't guarantee three thousand years old."
Ning Fengzhi nodded.
He also thought so.
"But Rongrong hasn't fully mastered the Spirit Ascension Method yet."
With low efficiency in Soul Power exploration, almost simultaneously incorporating the basics of the Spirit Ascension Method into her training program, Ning Rongrong's progress was still much slower than Dugu Yan's.
"In that case, let Rongrong continue her cultivation, and let her practice the Spirit Fusion Method on the side. Besides, I have a gift for Rongrong, which she can refine before absorbing the third ring. It will help her obtain a better Spirit Ring."
"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi was surprised, wondering what gift Su Wen was referring to.
He immediately had someone call Ning Rongrong over.
"Brother Xiaowen, you've come to see me!" Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Su Wen, and she hurried over to him.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi felt both gratified and slightly helpless.
"Rongrong, this time I've brought you a big treasure," Su Wen smiled, taking out the prepared Beautiful Silk Tulip from the storage spirit tool.
As Su Wen brought out the Beautiful Silk Tulip, the entire hall seemed to be drawn to its radiance.
The first impression Beautiful Silk Tulip gave was one of elegance and luxury.
Ning Fengzhi instinctively felt a sense of desire, and even Bone Douluo, at this moment, had a slight change in his expression, feeling the astonishing medicinal power of this herb, making them all faintly sense its surging potency.
Ning Rongrong let out a surprised "wow" as she looked at the Beautiful Silk Tulip, her eyes shimmering with light.
"I obtained this from Grandpa Dugu. This Beautiful Silk Tulip absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, drawing the radiance of the sun and moon. It suits your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda very well," Su Wen handed the Beautiful Silk Tulip to Ning Rongrong and instructed, "Rongrong, you need to ingest the essence of this Beautiful Silk Tulip by consuming its stigma, then use your Soul Power to circulate it throughout your body."
Ning Rongrong looked towards Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi didn't stop her from absorbing it either, nodding in agreement.
According to Su Wen, absorbing this Beautiful Silk Tulip would likely raise Ning Rongrong's Soul Power by at least six or seven levels. This was only the most basic effect; there would be more medicinal effects assimilating into her body, providing assistance for her future cultivation.
The medicinal quality of the Beautiful Silk Tulip reminded him of Chrysanthemum Douluo's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which had already reached a very high grade. Consuming such a rare treasure wouldn't cause any harm to the body.
Moreover, he also believed that Su Wen wouldn't let Rongrong absorb anything harmful to her body.
Following Su Wen's instructions, Ning Rongrong began to ingest the essence from the stigma of the Beautiful Silk Tulip, circulating her Soul Power to distribute it throughout her limbs and body.
During the absorption process, Ning Fengzhi took the opportunity to discuss theories on Martial Spirits with Su Wen.
Every discussion with Su Wen yielded insights for Ning Fengzhi. In his view, Su Wen's theoretical level had already surpassed his own.
And indeed it was so.
Su Wen had now shifted his focus to researching fields such as Spirit Skills, not just limited to Martial Spirits and the manipulation of Soul Power.
Ning Rongrong opened her eyes, feeling an unprecedented comfort.
Faintly, she felt that her Martial Spirit seemed different, and she released it.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in his daughter's hand, rubbed his eyes, counted several times carefully, then murmured, "Nine layers."
"Nine layers!" Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo, tired of listening to theories, immediately looked over when they saw Ning Rongrong finish absorbing the Beautiful Silk Tulip. They noticed the difference as they looked at the nine-layered pagoda in her hand.
