Shen Yunhao pretended to be deep in thought: "Hmm... Although I didn't get the divine artifact, my cultivation level increased greatly, and I even made a friend. It was a huge win!"
Shuang'er was clearly taken aback, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes once more. She turned and walked towards the exit, saying without looking back, "Let's go. Everyone only has one chance for spiritual energy infusion. There's no point in staying here..."
Shen Yunhao stroked his chin and asked, "Miss Shuang'er, there's still a lot of spiritual energy here. Can others use it?"
Mo Yan glared at him, annoyed. "What? You want to call all your aunts and uncles over to wash them all? Aren't you going a bit too far?"
Shuang'er frowned, "Han Xiaozi's cultivation was quite impressive when he was alive, and there is indeed still a lot of spiritual energy left inside. Besides, I don't need it, so leaving it is a waste, but..."
After thinking for a moment, the woman shook her head and said, "I'm unlikely to be back here for a long time after this trip. If you want to perform the initiation ceremony for others, the altar runes cannot be activated without my presence..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao was not disappointed at all; instead, he showed a hint of joy.
"No need for later! It can be done right now!"
"Now? But I told you that everyone only has one chance to receive the empowerment. Even if you try again, your cultivation level won't improve..."
"It wasn't me, it was Zi'er...she desperately needs these!"
Both women were taken aback by these words.
Mo Yan, in particular, never expected that Shen Yunhao would suddenly suggest that she receive a spiritual energy infusion!
She was immediately dumbfounded. "Me? You brat, are you kidding me? I'm a genuine Void Realm expert..."
"I know you're weak!" Shen Yunhao pinched her mouth shut. "Isn't this helping you recover... Besides, you've been seriously injured this time, you should really need this spiritual energy!"
Only then did Mo Yan realize what was happening.
It turns out that Shen Yunhao was worried that he had lost half of his demon body in the Valley of Polar Stars and was in a weakened state due to a decline in his cultivation. He wanted to take this opportunity to help her recover some of her cultivation...
Thinking about it this way, it makes sense. Han Xiaozi was a great cultivator in the Spirit Void Realm when she was alive. This place contains her life's cultivation, and the total amount of spiritual energy is quite considerable. Even if it can't help her recover to her peak, returning to the Void Realm shouldn't be a big problem.
As for what Shen Yunhao absorbed, that was really just a drop in the ocean...
only……
Mo Yan pouted, "Even without this spiritual energy, I can recover given enough time. Why should I owe them another favor?"
The little brat clearly didn't want to accept Shuang'er's favor.
Meanwhile, Shuang'er looked at Mo Yan with a thoughtful expression.
"Have you considered... that since our location is uncertain this time, we might end up in the Tai Xuan Dao Sect's lair? If you don't have enough strength, do you really have a chance to escape if something unexpected happens?"
"..."
That's true.
Currently, the only known exit from the secret realm for the two of them leads to the Tai Xuan Dao Sect.
Although it was the territory of the righteous sects... Shen Yunhao was always a little uneasy about the name of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect.
Especially with Mo Yan on his person, that damned Thousand Crane Daoist will be a very unstable factor.
"Then let's not rush out. Let's stay here a little longer and go out after I've fully recovered..."
Just then, Shuang'er suddenly shook her head.
"Unlikely..."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Mo Yan frowned.
"Having been here for so long, haven't you noticed at all that it's impossible to cultivate or improve your cultivation level here?"
Both of them were stunned upon hearing this.
"No...that's not right. The spiritual energy here is so abundant, there's no reason why we can't cultivate here..."
"That's because of the rules here... The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here can only be used to restore your spiritual energy; it cannot be used for anything else. Simply put, you can only absorb as much as you use here!"
You can absorb as much as you need...
Shen Yunhao easily understood the meaning behind Shuang'er's words.
If we compare spiritual energy to a cultivator's mana bar, then casting a spell requires a certain number of mana points. These mana points don't disappear; instead, they are applied to this secret realm, which is equivalent to how much spiritual energy you "output" to this secret realm.
Therefore, the amount of spiritual energy you can absorb in this secret realm will generally maintain a balance...
To put it simply, it's a fantasy version of the law of conservation of energy!
Cultivation is simply the process of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one's own spiritual energy. Obviously, this method of "pure absorption" is not in line with the rules of this secret realm.
In other words, no matter how long a cultivator stays here, they cannot improve their cultivation level. The state you are in when you enter is the state you will inevitably be in when you leave...
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao immediately understood something.
No wonder time here is different from the outside world... According to Bai Xiaoruo, time flows much slower here than outside!
At the time, Shen Yunhao thought this was just a training ground with cheat codes; as long as he stayed here, he could gain more training time than outside...
Now that this rule is in place, it's clear that the world won't let you hide here and exploit bugs; the longer you stay here, the more time you waste!
No wonder the disciples of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect came only to obtain blue crystals, and none of them cultivated...
The blue crystals dropped by the crystal beasts should be the only spoils of war here.
"But Han Xiaozi's spiritual energy is different. It's like Han Xiaozi outputting spiritual energy to the secret realm, but he didn't take it back himself, so it can be absorbed by others..."
Shuang'er looked at Mo Yan expressionlessly and gave her a piece of "advice".
"If... you'll face danger if you go out, I suggest you absorb the spiritual energy here and restore yourself to your optimal state..."
"Damn it..."
Mo Yan gritted her teeth, somewhat unwilling.
Shen Yunhao clasped his hands in a fist salute to Shuang'er once again, "Then thank you very much, Miss Shuang'er. Consider this a favor I owe you. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, I will do my best!"
"Hey! I haven't even agreed to it myself... um..."
Mo Yan, whose mouth was sealed again: "..."
"It's nothing... Anyway, this spiritual energy is useless to me."
Shuang'er lowered her head, seemingly somewhat...unexpectedly happy about the sudden favor.
Mo Yan was eventually pushed onto the altar by Shen Yunhao. As the torrent of spiritual energy poured down, Mo Yan angrily closed her eyes and began to meditate.
She didn't know why, but she always felt something was off.
Unbeknownst to them, Shen Yunhao outside was smilingly asking Shuang'er, "Miss Shuang'er, I have to wait here for my brat to finish her seclusion. What about you? Are you in a hurry to leave? Why don't we go together then..."
Shuang'er turned her head away, her eyes clearly revealing a hint of helplessness.
"No...no rush..."
