After lunch, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei parted ways and went to cultivate separately.
Upon arriving at his cultivation cave, Xiao Feng quickly channeled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.
However, this time Xiao Feng noticed a change. This time, the spiritual energy in his body increased, as if something was wrong.
His cultivation speed had slowed down considerably, and after some thought, Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask the system for advice.
"System, what's going on? Why is my cultivation progressing so slowly?"
[System notification: The host has reached the Foundation Establishment stage. To increase cultivation speed, you need to use elixirs. The system has detected that the host possesses Foundation Establishment Pills. Do you wish to use them?]
Xiao Feng naturally wouldn't be polite. Although it was something his senior sister had given him, it would be foolish not to use something so useful.
"use!"
At Xiao Feng's command, the Foundation Establishment Pill shattered into powder and entered Xiao Feng's seven orifices. In an instant, Xiao Feng felt as if his body had become a black hole absorbing spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly transformed into five kinds of spiritual energy, which tempered Xiao Feng's physical body.
Xiao Feng immediately showed a look of surprise and took the opportunity to continue cultivating the Tide Technique.
This practice continued until evening.
After finishing his cultivation, Xiao Feng exhaled a long breath of stale air, feeling a qualitative change throughout his body.
Looking up, Xiao Feng saw a familiar figure.
Zhao Yuwei is here?
"Senior sister, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Yuwei then gave a strange look.
"When I was cultivating just now, I suddenly felt that the spiritual energy on this mountain peak had decreased sharply. I thought something was wrong here, so I came to check. So what exactly happened?"
Xiao Feng was a little embarrassed, so he directly explained his cultivation process.
"Senior sister, I don't know what's going on. After I connected with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and it entered my body, the spiritual energy automatically turned into five kinds of spiritual power. At the same time, it seems that I am also absorbing the five elements of heaven and earth!"
Hearing Xiao Feng's cryptic explanation, Zhao Yuwei couldn't help but show a shocked expression as he absorbed the five kinds of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
Is this the terror of mixed spiritual roots?
That doesn't seem right.
How can someone with mixed spiritual roots possess such abilities?
Gradually, Zhao Yuwei became more and more convinced of her own belief that Xiao Feng might truly possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Seeing Zhao Yuwei's excited expression, the system's voice involuntarily echoed in Xiao Feng's mind.
[Hehe, this is all thanks to me, host. Don't forget about picking up girls, bro!]
Xiao Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes and silently complained to himself.
Dream on!
"Senior sister, my five spiritual roots should all be equal. If that's the case, then maybe I can also cultivate the techniques from other peaks!"
"If possible, why don't we go to other mountains and see if there are any cultivation techniques that suit me?"
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Zhao Yuwei immediately wore a troubled expression, momentarily at a loss for how to broach the subject with him.
"Actually, the various cultivation techniques of the Spirit Sword Sect have always been kept secret, so junior brother, your senior sister may not be able to grant you this request!"
Xiao Feng frowned slightly. Was this still a unified sect? Why did it seem like the internal strife was more serious?
"The techniques in the library are all low-level. If you want to cultivate them, you'll have to rely on your luck to find better ones in the future!"
After hearing this, Xiao Feng pondered for a while. In fact, while he appeared to be thinking, he was still communicating with the system.
The system's response was unsurprising: it didn't offer any cultivation techniques...
Helpless, Xiao Feng could only silently console himself with a thought.
"It doesn't matter, Senior Sister. I still have time to practice. I can always ask Master for it when she comes back!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuwei nodded, but she had also made up her mind.
"Junior brother, how about this? I'll take you to the library again tomorrow, and we can finish quickly and pick out as many books as possible!"
Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask Zhao Yuwei.
"Senior sister, that's true, but do you still have any spirit stones on you? If not, there's nothing we can do even if we wanted to go!"
Zhao Yuwei wore an awkward expression. This couldn't be blamed on Xiao Feng. He had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage and hadn't reached the point where he could receive his monthly stipend yet, so naturally he could only rely on his senior sister.
"You don't need to worry about that, your senior sister will figure something out!"
On Green Pine Peak.
The news that Qingfeng cut down the bamboo and charged money quickly spread. When Wan Feiyu learned that this matter was only directed at Qingfeng, he instantly showed an angry expression and couldn't help but grit his teeth fiercely.
"What kind of logic is this? Is this what Zhao Yuwei told you?"
Wan Feiyu's eyes were bloodshot, while the servant disciple spoke timidly.
"Senior Brother, it was actually that new junior disciple from Qingfeng who said it, and he was the one who set up the fee schedule..."
Hearing these words, Wan Feiyu was furious. After all, he knew how important those bamboo groves were to his peak, as they were indispensable when refining pills.
The angrier he got, the more Wan Feiyu swept everything off his desk onto the floor.
Seeing this, the handyman disciple cautiously informed him.
"Senior Brother Wan, recently our Green Pine Peak has been consuming more and more Green Bamboo. If we collect one hundred low-grade spirit stones every hour, I'm afraid we simply won't be able to afford it!"
After a long silence, Wan Feiyu gritted his teeth and looked directly at the menial disciples in front of him.
"There are few people on Qingfeng Peak. From now on, you all spread out and secretly watch. I don't believe that the two of them can still see the entire mountain peak!"
The servant disciples nodded hurriedly upon hearing this. They were also somewhat resentful, since they were the ones doing the work, while Wan Feiyu was the one giving orders. This was clearly increasing their workload.
Even if he disagreed in his heart, he still had to do what his superiors told him to do, given his status as a menial disciple.
It was late at night.
On Qingfeng Mountain.
Xiao Feng quietly took out the "Five Elements Maze Formation" that he had brought from the library.
They quickly began to follow the instructions on the formation and set up a small, simple formation.
After entering the formation, Xiao Feng began to wander around in private. However, after taking two steps, Xiao Feng found that he had completely lost his sense of direction.
For a moment, Xiao Feng felt as if he were trapped in this formation.
"Master, help!"
[System notification: The core of the formation has been located for the host!]
