After the energy is transformed, it can only be used to cultivate the Energy Control Technique. Other techniques, even minor spells, cannot be cultivated. This is the most frustrating thing for Ye Shang. Many convenient minor spells cannot be used. Otherwise, why would she have several robes to wear in rotation and have to rely on the storage wardrobe in her spatial ring for automatic cleaning?
Ye Shang said with some melancholy, "If this were on another continent, it might not be a problem, but it's not possible now."
Qingli said, "Perhaps there will be an opportunity in the future."
Ye Shang responded with a "Mm".
The two have somewhat similar personalities, but they don't get along awkwardly; on the contrary, they get along exceptionally well.

Outside, Song Wenwen twirled a strand of hair at the end of her head with her fingertips, gazing at the sea as she said, "I wonder what the base's future plans will be after we go back this time."
Zhuo Xia didn't know much. Most of the policies were issued directly by the leaders occasionally, but most of them came from the headquarters. She said, "We just need to follow the steps of those in power. There's no use worrying so much."
Meng Qiulan doesn't have so many worries. For her, the biggest problem now is Ye Shang, who is such a creditor. When she goes back, she needs to get more energy stones from the family to keep on hand, so that she won't see useful things but be unable to buy them.
Although they mostly bought them from Ye Shang, it's because only she could get them so easily.
"What are you worried about? Even if the sky falls, there's someone taller to hold it up. We just need to stand at our posts."
That's right. She has now found a job under Ye Shang. There is no salary, but the hours are flexible. The only condition is that if the human base is in danger, she needs to help. The benefit is that if Ye Shang has anything valuable, he will consider selling it to her first.
For some reason, Meng Qiulan always felt that she was at a disadvantage, but she also felt that it was a good condition, because many clansmen and other disciples were away from home all year round and were not as useful as the things she had brought back before.
Zhuo Xia smiled gently, "That's not wrong."
She is in her thirties this year. Although she is still unmarried, she has a gentle appearance and has always been likable. In the early days of the apocalypse, she was often the one to deal with people with superpowers.
Fortunately, she was among the first batch of awakened superhumans and had always lived a good life. She often went on missions with the captain, and as long as the captain was there, the lives of their small team were basically guaranteed. In this post-apocalyptic world, women were almost like commodities, not very precious, but they could be used for exchange in many places.
Without the ability to protect themselves, they might not have even been able to enter the base in the early stages of the apocalypse, let alone be selected to join the search team at that time.
"If only things could go back to normal in the future." Song Wenwen rested her chin on her hand. Although she looked glamorous and sometimes gave off a cheerful vibe, she always exuded a melancholy when she was quiet.
Almost all of her family members died in the apocalypse. The only remaining relative also lost their mission that year. She had no relatives in this world. She even thought that she might as well die too. After all, what use is it to leave her all alone?
Meng Qiulan didn't quite understand their feelings. She hadn't experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse. Her family was powerful, and their unique cultivation methods made them special in the apocalypse, preventing them from mutating into zombies or awakening superpowers. Although she was born out of wedlock, her mother was still alive.
"I've heard that ancient creatures sometimes appear in the sea."
Song Wenwen rolled her eyes at her, "Forget it, those creatures probably only appear in the deep sea, it's unlikely here."
Zhuo Xia felt a bit out of place with them and didn't quite understand what they were saying. A question mark popped into her head: "What creature?"
Song Wenwen explained to her, "She probably meant mermaids, but that's impossible in reality."
After understanding what she meant, Zhuo Xia also said, "Read less miscellaneous books; these are all fabrications by humans."
Not far away, Chang Lin and Liang You were studying the method of drawing talismans. Chang Lin was very interested, but Liang You, not wanting to hurt his feelings, took out a lot of discarded talismans and explained the principles to him.
Hearing the girls' conversation, Liang You said, "That's not necessarily true. We already have zombies, and mermaids are just merfolk, right? Maybe they'll appear too?"
Chang Lin pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses with his long, slender fingers: "Brother You is right."
Changlin spends all his time studying with him now, and is also very interested in Liang You's esoteric arts, so he agrees with him when he speaks.
He Shengyou carried Chen Zui leisurely around the boat, calling it a patrol.
Hearing their discussion, He Shengyou felt that he had a lot to say, because he was now neither human nor object.
He opened his lion's mouth and said, "Although I am human, I can transform into a lion, and my life will not be affected."
Sitting on his back, Chen Zui nodded seriously: "I think it's possible that mermaids might actually appear in the future."
He still really likes cartoons, and now he can use his personal computer to find resources and watch them occasionally.
The group continued chatting carefree, speaking freely, fantasizing about the future, and even imagining legendary creatures.
Little did they know, perhaps in the not-too-distant future, all of these things might actually happen one by one.
Until around midnight
In the pitch-black night, a creature that did not belong to the ocean appeared in the sea.
This is a very strange-looking creature, as big as a mountain, shaped like a whale, but with its head covered in horns and even four limbs.
The ship sailing on the sea was suddenly pulled and spun around at high speed by this giant monster.
Everyone who should have been resting or on duty was suddenly thrown out of their cabins by the sudden movement.
The boat was rocking back and forth, and even Chen Zui, with his small frame, could hardly keep his balance. He clung tightly to the edge of the door, and the waves crashed onto the boat, soaking him completely.
A blurry figure appeared in his eyes. No, he couldn't see who it was yet. He shouted, "Sister, brother-in-law, Lion Brother!"
He Shengyou arrived the fastest, his clothes also soaked and clung to his body. He grabbed Chen Zui with one hand, and the two of them gripped the door frame tightly. He shouted loudly, "Enemy attack! But it doesn't seem to be human!"
The rocking of the boat and the sound of the seawater crashing against it made communication difficult for them.
He Shengyou immediately sounded the alarm, and the other two superhumans who had been patrolling with him in shifts also promptly reported to their superiors.
Han Yi usually stays with the captain and others, which makes it easier for him to direct operations, and he doesn't go out much.
