Their spirit-storing beads were all crafted by Gu Xiaochui.
However, he doesn't have a spatial spiritual root, so he needs Rong Zi's help during the refining process.
The spirit-storing beads that the master and apprentice crafted together contained far more concentrated spiritual energy than ordinary spirit-storing beads.
After giving the spirit pearls to Ling Mo, Rong Zi distributed the remaining spirit pearls to his other disciples.
"Alright, now we can go in."
They arrived at the edge of the large pit.
The closer they got to the crater, the denser the chaotic energy became, and the stronger its suppression of them became.
Despite being protected by Rong Zi's blood, the disciples were still feeling extremely uncomfortable due to the oppressive chaotic energy.
Even Rong Zi found it hard to bear.
Looking at the bottomless pit, Yun Jing held Rong Zi's hand tightly and said, "We don't know how deep this pit is, and we can't fly on our swords now, how are we going to get down?"
Despite his physical discomfort, Rong Zi snapped his fingers.
"Isn't there Xiaobai here?"
Little White had already flown to them on its own.
The fan suddenly grew larger, floated above the pit opening, and shook itself at everyone, saying, "Come on up."
Rong Zi and the others carefully jumped onto Xiao Bai's back and sat down.
Because Xiaobai had too many records of throwing people away, Rong Zi, after sitting down, still wasn't at ease and tied them all together around the waist with a rope.
Next, she set up a small protective magic circle around them.
With this double protection in place, Rong Zi patted Xiao Bai's fan and said, "Alright, you can go now."
Little White began to descend slowly.
As they descended deeper, the chaotic energy below became increasingly dense.
The chaotic energy surging everywhere was like sharp blades, slicing wildly through their bodies.
Qi Yufei was trembling all over from the pain.
"Ouch...why does this hurt so much?"
He looked at the others in the dim light and asked haltingly, "Are you... are you in pain?"
Yun Jing was in so much pain that she shrank into Rong Zi's arms.
Gu Xiaochui trembled even more than Qi Yufei, replying with a series of sobs, "What do you think?"
Ling Mo and Xi Ling'er are in slightly better condition.
They are both quite tolerant.
Qi Yufei called out to Rong Zi, "Master..."
Rong Zi was also feeling very bad.
Although she possesses a Chaos Spiritual Root, this is her first time encountering Chaos Qi, and her body is not yet able to adapt to such a high concentration of Chaos Qi so quickly.
Rong Zi slowly exhaled and asked, "Have your spiritual veins been affected?"
All the apprentices shook their heads.
Qi Yufei replied, "No, it's just that my whole body aches."
"That's alright, just bear with it and it will pass. As long as we can all persevere, we'll definitely reap considerable rewards after we get out this time."
Rong Zi looked at Gu Xiaochui as she spoke, "Especially you, if possible, you should try to cultivate both of your spiritual roots to the highest level."
Among her five apprentices, Gu Xiaochui's talent is not particularly outstanding.
However, if he can cultivate both of his spiritual roots to the highest level, he will become the only person in the cultivation world with dual top-grade spiritual roots.
By then, his talent will far surpass those so-called geniuses.
Upon hearing this, a determined glint flashed in Gu Xiaochui's eyes.
He nodded and replied, "I will."
During the conversation, Xiaobai finally landed on the ground.
After placing everyone on the ground, it announced, "We've arrived."
The light at the bottom of the pit was extremely dim.
They couldn't even see each other's faces clearly.
Before starting his cultivation, Rong Zi gave him a word of advice.
"While we are cultivating, Xiaobai will stay here. If any of you really can't hold on any longer, you can ask it to send you out."
"Can't hold on? Don't worry, Master, that's impossible." Qi Yufei patted his chest despite the pain and said through gritted teeth, "This little bit of pain is nothing. We can definitely hold on until the end."
Gu Xiaochui nudged him with her elbow.
"Shall we have a match?"
Qi Yufei was taken aback. "What are we competing in?"
Gu Xiaochui: "Let's see who can last the longest."
"Sure, what's the stakes?" Qi Yufei thought of a way to play and suggested enthusiastically, "How about we take this opportunity to rearrange the order?"
Xi Ling'er curiously joined in, "Sorting? Sorting what order?"
Qi Yufei: "Of course, it's based on our ranking. Whoever lasts until the end will be the senior brother, and so on. The first one who can't hold on will be the fifth brother. How about that?"
Yun, the current senior disciple, Jing: "..."
Does their ranking have to be so arbitrary?
As the youngest in the rankings, Xi Ling'er naturally wholeheartedly agreed to the bet.
Her eyes sparkled as she said, "So, does that mean I also have a chance to become your senior sister?"
Qi Yufei remained noncommittal, saying, "The prerequisite is that you can hold on until the very end."
Xi Ling'er immediately perked up.
Even the pain in her body had lessened considerably, and she rolled up her sleeves, looking eager to try it out.
"Then let's go."
Rong Zi originally wanted to say something, but seeing that they were all full of energy and unwilling to fall behind, she let them be.
If this method can motivate them to cultivate, then that would be quite good.
Yun Jing tugged at Rong Zi's sleeve and asked, "Master, aren't you going to say something?"
As the eldest disciple, he naturally didn't want to participate in this competition.
