In the short time that I was gone, Xiao Feng had already mastered the basics of the Tide Technique.
"Looks like we really did find a treasure, Junior Brother. How do you have so many secrets?"
Xiao Feng smiled somewhat embarrassedly. Although he didn't know the operating rules of this world, the rules of cultivation were the same. With the foundation laid in the previous worlds, it was naturally very easy for him.
Without hesitation, Zhao Yuwei took out a brocade box and then continued speaking.
"With such skill, you haven't forgotten the huge price your senior sister paid!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but frown and ask.
"Senior sister, what do you mean by that?"
Zhao Yuwei spoke with a smile.
"The meaning is simple: I got you some Foundation Establishment Pills, but..."
Zhao Yuwei recounted everything that had just happened with indignation.
Xiao Feng's eyes blazed with fury, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and speak to Zhao Yuwei.
"Senior sister, don't worry. I will definitely find ways to earn more spirit stones in the future, so that we can buy whatever we want on our peak!"
Seeing Xiao Feng's innocent expression, Zhao Yuwei just gave a wry smile and offered no explanation.
"Senior sister, why do you look like that?"
Xiao Feng, on the contrary, began to ask probing questions, while Zhao Yuwei sighed bitterly before speaking to Xiao Feng.
"Junior brother, my master and I are both sword cultivators in Qingfeng, and we sword cultivators are the poorest of all cultivators!"
Xiao Feng was somewhat puzzled.
"Senior sister, what do you mean by that?"
"It's already very difficult for a sword cultivator to find a suitable weapon. The price of such weapons is extremely high, and generally no one would choose to become a sword cultivator!"
“Any cultivator who specializes in alchemy, weapon crafting, or talisman making has abundant resources. Only we sword cultivators suffer the most. In our entire lives, it's already a miracle if we can find a perfect weapon!”
Zhao Yuwei is right. Sword cultivators are indeed among the poorest cultivators. Even those cultivators who specialize in physical techniques can amass a fortune of spirit stones without using weapons.
Only sword cultivators cannot do this. They frantically hoard large amounts of spirit stones, and once they set their sights on a weapon, they spend it all, sometimes even selling themselves to buy it.
Seeing Zhao Yuwei's sorrowful appearance, Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had a Heavenly Spiritual Root. If that were the case, continuing to be a sword cultivator wouldn't seem to bring any benefits.
However, Xiao Feng didn't intend to think too much about it at the moment. After all, sword cultivators also had their advantages, at least in terms of attack power, they were incredibly strong.
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Feng finally spoke to Zhao Yuwei in front of him.
"Senior sister, I haven't even broken through to the first level of weapon refining yet. It's too early to be thinking about cultivation categories. Let's wait until I break through!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuwei shook her head. After all, she had witnessed Xiao Feng's talent firsthand; with such terrifying talent, breaking through to the Qi Refining stage would be a piece of cake.
Zhao Yuwei simply couldn't understand why someone with only a mixed spiritual root could have such a terrifying cultivation speed. Could it be...?
Zhao Yuwei dared not think any further. After all, the difference between the mixed spiritual root and the celestial spiritual root was only one word, and that was a genius that had not appeared for thousands of years.
"Alright, continue your cultivation. Anyway, Master won't be back for a while, so I'll guide you in the meantime!"
"By the way, tomorrow I'll take you to the library to find some martial arts techniques that suit you, and we can also test your spiritual energy there!"
Zhao Yuwei still had some doubts in her heart. After all, with such a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy just now, it was impossible for Xiao Feng's level to be only at the first stage of Qi Refining.
Or is this the predicament of having mixed spiritual roots? After absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, there is no way to improve one's cultivation level?
The secrets surrounding Xiao Feng are incredibly mysterious, and Zhao Yuwei can't help but want to explore them.
When Xiao Feng heard about the strength test, he frowned in confusion and couldn't help but speak up.
"It's just a test of strength, why do we have to go to the library? Isn't that overshadowing the main purpose?"
Xiao Feng felt that, in principle, each mountain peak should have a magical artifact to test the strength of its own disciples. If there wasn't even that, how could a single peak be opened?
Seeing Xiao Feng's puzzled expression, Zhao Yuwei felt even more bitter. Qingfeng was all about poverty, so much so that they didn't even have spirit stones to test the strength of their disciples.
"Junior brother, to be honest, we're quite poor here, so if you want to test your strength, you'll have to go to the library!"
Xiao Feng pursed his lips helplessly. It seemed he really had to take making money seriously. After all, he couldn't just stay here and cultivate. If he reached a certain level and was about to reach the critical point, he would need a lot of spirit stones to support him.
I'm afraid I don't even have cultivation resources!
Xiao Feng secretly made up his mind that he couldn't let Qingfeng continue to be so poor!
The system seemed to have sensed Xiao Feng's thoughts and immediately sent out a voice.
[System notification: The system has detected that the host is currently facing difficulties. A new task has been issued. Please check your inbox!]
Xiao Feng rarely heard his system speak so seriously. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but open the mission interface.
[System task: When the host's strength reaches the peak of Qi Refining, the host will be rewarded with a Spirit Testing Stone and a large number of low-grade spirit stones!]
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's appetite was whetted; it was truly a case of what he wished for coming true.
System! Reliable!
That's right!
With a small goal in mind, Xiao Feng worked even harder, and his absorption of spiritual energy became faster and faster. In a short time, the spiritual energy in the entire Qingfeng Jing Chamber was almost completely drained.
Seeing Xiao Feng's terrifying energy expenditure, Zhao Yuwei couldn't help but swallow hard. This junior brother was truly terrifying.
Early the next morning.
After a night of cultivation, Xiao Feng felt refreshed and invigorated. Just then, Zhao Yuwei arrived at Xiao Feng's residence.
"Junior brother, did you cultivate all night yesterday?"
Xiao Feng nodded slightly.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister? Is something the problem?"
"Such stubborn training may improve your strength in a short time, but it will also damage your mental strength. You need to be careful to rest!"
Xiao Feng nodded blankly, but the system's voice directly entered his mind.
[Rest? No need! The host's mental energy has already been replenished!]
In an instant, Xiao Feng felt his mind become incredibly clear, and his whole being was noticeably revitalized. He even couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
