"This porcelain bottle contains ten Grade One Magic Explosion Pills."
Nodding, Lin Xiaofei smiled and handed over two large porcelain bottles, saying...
He earned 210 low-grade spirit stones in one go. This was the first time he had ever earned spirit stones, and he was very happy.
"I want ten Magic Explosion Pills."
Upon hearing this, Su Hongyan said.
Although she was curious about the Magic Explosion Pill, she still needed to try it herself to see how effective it was. If it worked well, she would buy more.
Soon, Zhou Chengwu also purchased fifteen Magic Explosion Pills.
After the quick transaction, Lin Xiaofei calculated that he had earned approximately 460 spirit stones.
Before long, Steward Wang from the Red Tea Manor led Wang Qingliang, Zhu Dali, Hong Tongzi, and the others over.
"Mr. Jiang, everyone's here now, shouldn't you fulfill your promise?"
Looking at everyone and seeing that everyone had arrived, Su Hongyan stood up and said.
"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Su to be in such a hurry."
As he spoke, Jiang He smiled slightly and said,
Butler Wang, bring up the prepared spiritual tea.
Butler Wang nodded, walked to a large room on one side of the courtyard, entered the room, and came out with ten exquisite little cloth bags.
Soon, everyone received a delicate little cloth bag, which meant they received two ounces of Golden Spirit Tea.
Seeing everyone's happy faces, Jiang He felt it was about time and then spoke:
Alright, now that everyone has received part of their reward, let's go to the back mountain of the manor.
"Old Jiang, didn't you ask us to protect you in the manor? Why are we going to the back mountain?"
Zhou Chengwu asked hurriedly.
"To break through a realm, one naturally needs to go to a place with a high concentration of spiritual energy. Although the concentration of spiritual energy in my manor is decent, there is a place with an even higher concentration of spiritual energy on the back mountain of the manor."
"If I were to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage there, the results would be even better."
As he spoke, the old man from the river led the way.
Jiang He was preparing to break through the local area, and there were still seven miles to go before reaching the red tea plantation. Therefore, everyone used their lightness skills together, leaping lightly onto the trees and grass, and quickly heading towards the back mountain.
Half an hour later, the old man Jianghe suddenly stopped.
"Old Jiang, have we arrived?"
Seeing Jiang He looking around curiously, Zhang Wude asked him a question.
Here, the surrounding area is a dense forest, with a light mist drifting among the branches and leaves.
Everyone took a breath and immediately felt that the concentration of spiritual energy here was twice that at the foot of the mountain. It would be a really good place to cultivate or break through to a higher realm.
"We're almost there. However, as you can all feel, the concentration of spiritual energy here is quite high, which often attracts wild beasts and strange creatures from other mountains and forests."
As he spoke, the old man pointed to the ground nearby and said, "
Look, those are the footprints left by a strange beast.
Before I attempt to break through to a higher realm, I hope everyone will patrol this area, within a five-mile radius, and eliminate any strange beasts within to avoid disturbing my breakthrough.
As Jiang He spoke, he chose a direction and stepped into the forest to eliminate the strange beasts.
The others exchanged glances and each chose a direction to enter the woods.
Seeing everyone enter the dense forest, Lin Xiaofei thought to himself:
This old man from the river is truly cautious; after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he still has to clear out the nearby strange beasts and wild animals.
From this, he also realized how difficult it is for rogue cultivators to cultivate, and how they must be vigilant in every little thing. This must be the reason why Elder Jianghe was able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Lin Xiaofei chose a direction and entered the forest to search for traces of wild animals and strange beasts.
Along the way, he discovered some wild herbs, which he casually dug up and planted directly in his spatial bead.
After searching for half an hour in the misty woods, everyone finally reunited.
Before everyone's eyes was a man-made cave, surrounded by piles of stones, clearly showing signs of human intervention.
"This place is the only one among the surrounding mountains where it is relatively easy to gather the spiritual energy that is floating in the air."
Therefore, seven years ago, I had someone transform this place into a cultivation cave and set up a low-level spirit-gathering array inside.
The old man looked at everyone and said smugly.
"Old Jiang, I didn't know you were a formation master!"
Su Hongyan made a joke.
"I am not a formation master, nor can I set up formations. This spirit gathering formation was set up by a cultivator from the government at great expense."
Jiang He shook his head and said.
"Old Jiang is really generous."
The land near this cave seems to have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy; if it were to remain for another thirty years or so, it would surely become a low-level spiritual land.
Su Hongyan said.
Jiang He nodded, smiled, and said:
Yes, in another thirty years or so, this place will indeed become a low-level spiritual land.
If I can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, then I will be able to use the low-level spiritual land that forms here in the future.
Otherwise, who knows who it will be left to in the future?
He knew that he had at most seventeen or eighteen years left to live. If he entered the Foundation Establishment stage, his lifespan would increase by at least one hundred and fifty years. In that case, this place would still belong to him.
Lin Xiaofei stood aside and listened, gaining some knowledge in the process.
A light mist drifted through the dense forest nearby. Lin Xiaofei used his Illusionary Eye Technique to see the spiritual energy floating in the air gradually converging here, making the concentration of spiritual energy in a certain area even higher.
"Alright, I'm going to enter the cave to break through my cultivation level. As for the rest, I'd like to ask all of you fellow Daoists to wait outside the cave and protect me."
With that, the old man Jianghe walked towards the entrance of the cave.
The others nodded, exchanged glances, and stood at a certain distance from each other near the cave to prevent any strange beasts or other creatures from getting close.
“Look, there seem to be quite a few people approaching from the woods over there.”
Lin Xiaofei used his Illusionary Eye Technique, looked around, frowned slightly, and said.
He saw a large group of people in the distance, about four or five kilometers from the forest. They were all armed and gradually approaching, clearly looking for something.
In an instant, everyone looked toward the group of people in the distant woods.
"Today is the day Elder Jiang is preparing for his breakthrough, so why are so many people approaching? And judging from their appearance, they don't seem to have any good intentions."
Seeing a large group of people approaching from afar, Zhu Dali frowned and said loudly.
