With mutated beasts and monsters acting as free miners, Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye only needed to wait for the spirit stones to be transported out.
The guards cleaned up the open space and set up new tents according to their numbers and identities.
Wuying and Wuhen helped Xique and Bailu build a stove and prepare dinner.
Unable to contain their curiosity, Ji Fengming and Ji Fengyao were also excited about their impending wealth. The siblings hit it off immediately and, dragging Hei Xiao and Shang Xiye along, the four of them entered the mine.
The spiritual energy in the mine was very rich, which made Shang Xiye and Hei Xiao feel very comfortable. Even without actively activating the "Gathering Spirit Technique", their pores and meridians were greedily absorbing the spiritual energy in the air.
Ji Fengyao and Ji Fengming were even worse.
The brother and sister didn't have to do anything; the spiritual energy in the mine just kept pouring into their meridians!
Before long, Ji Fengming broke through from the seventh level of Spirit Gathering to the eighth level!
However, this is only the beginning. Soon, Ji Fengming's cultivation will advance to the ninth level!
"Holy crap! This is truly a blessed land! My cultivation is soaring, I'm about to reach the ninth level!" Ji Fengming exclaimed, and was about to sit cross-legged to meditate.
Ji Fengyao quickly stopped him: "Don't rush, brother. It's just that our constitutions are different. Just like a dried-up river, there is a natural period of replenishment. Let nature take its course and don't force it."
"There's another way to say that," Ji Fengming rubbed his nose, abandoning his idea of sitting down to meditate.
Ji Fengyao was the same. Moreover, she had fallen from the legendary twelfth realm. It was like a bucket with a small plank removed. Once the injury healed, the "plank" was replaced, and the bucket was filled with water again. There were no hidden dangers.
However, according to legend, the spiritual energy required for each advancement in the realm is the sum of all the previous realms.
Therefore, the commotion caused by Ji Fengyao was far less significant than that caused by Ji Fengming.
Before everyone could even rejoice at the place where the mutated beasts and monsters were mining, Ji Fengming exclaimed, "It's no use, little sister! We're halfway through the tenth rank, what rank is next again?"
Ji Fengyao was shocked, not expecting Ji Fengming to absorb spiritual energy at such an astonishing speed. She quickly said, "Normally, this is Foundation Establishment, but you must not casually attempt Foundation Establishment, as it relates to your life's achievements!"
"Then what should I do?" Ji Fengming was also anxious. These spiritual energies came uninvited and he had no control over them at all!
"Give me some," Black Owl said softly, holding Ji Fengming's hand. "Give me the excess; keep the rest to yourself and don't easily touch that bottleneck. Perhaps, if you suppress it to a certain level, you can also enter the legendary realm like Little Yao'er."
Ji Fengyao was greatly surprised: "Brother Xiao Chen, how do you know these things? This is the experience of powerful beings!"
“I…” Black Owl recalled those fragments of memory, his eyes darkened, and an innate frosty aura emanated from him: “It just came to mind suddenly, and I just blurted it out; perhaps, I was also a cultivator in my previous life.”
“Then you must have been a talentless cultivator in your past life, at least not as good as you are now,” Ji Fengming laughed.
Black Owl asked, puzzled, "Why?"
“Because you’re dead,” Ji Fengyao chimed in, jokingly adding, “Powerful cultivators rarely perish unless they are undergoing tribulation or in a world-shaking battle.”
Black Owl: "..."
Although he couldn't remember what level of cultivation he was at, it seemed pretty powerful.
Otherwise, the people in his memory wouldn't have been so respectful to him.
Xiao Yao'er once said that the rule in the cultivation world is that only strength is recognized, not status.
