Chapter 53 - 53: A Great Opportunity
Ignoring the incident that just happened, the group continue moving, eventually reaching the jade door Wu Xiaotian saw from when he used his senses to survey the area.
Before they could even touch the door, it automatically opened, from behind it comes out a wave of bright light that prevents them from peering into what is inside for a while, until their eyes gradually adjusted to the brightness of the room behind the jade doors.
Entering inside, what greeted them is a vast valley filled with all sorts of spiritual herb, elevating the quality of the ambient spirit qi greatly. In the middle of the valley, a creek with an extremely clear and clean water is flowing freely, little aquatic creatures moving along its flow.
As they move their eyes around, they couldn't help but marvel not only at the beauty of the place, but also at its extreme suitability for cultivation, given the herbs that are just lying around along with the great amount of spirit qi, which is so abundant that visible strands of it are already forming all around, adding a more mystical feel to the place.
Exploring all around, they eventually found a building built inside one of the mountains, the entrance along with its entirety seemingly purely carved from the stones of the mountain, yet the
Meanwhile, feeling that this place is probably safe, Wu Xiaotian starts spreading his senses, trying to see what they missed.
As his senses expanded completely, he found out that this space seems to be an independent one, probably created by the celestial that created the secret realm, the total space around reaching a radius of around ten kilometers, completely circular with a spatial barrier completely locking the space in.
Among the things he found, the only seemingly man-made structure except for the building they're in are groups of cave abode equipped with a spirit gathering formation, ten of them on different mountain peaks equidistant with each other.
"Leng Yue is right, let's take a technique or cultivation manual that we want then take advantage of the spirit qi, I found a place that is suitable for doing so" Wu Xiaotian said, telling them about the cave abodes further exciting the four, which rushed toward the peaks separately before bidding each other farewell, agreeing to meet near the entrance once more after half a year.
Arriving in a cave abode, Wu Xiaotian immediately tries cultivating with the spirit gathering formation active, trying to see how it compares with the qi in the Infinite Qi Dimension.
'So this level of array formation can gather amount of energy that compares with the energy in the tenth layer already' Wu Xiaotian thought as he remembers how rich the energy in the tenth layer is. However, despite the comparison, he still thought that the energy within the Infinite Qi Dimension is better, whether in terms of quality or quantity.
In addition, the feel of the spirit qi is completely different, the qi in this independent space more like a soothing massage that's more suitable for healing, while the qi in the Infinite Qi Dimension is more like a hammer that constantly temper the body.
'Still good though, not to mention the spirit herbs in the field near the entrance, some of those are enough for me to refine some Whirlpool Pills' he thought to himself, his idea being taking a Whirlpool Pill that increase qi absorption rate, then entering the Infinite Qi Dimension to further increase his already absurd cultivation speed.
'No pain no gain I guess…' he said to himself as he imagined just how painful this process would be, as if being crushed in the sea of qi within the tenth layer is not painful enough.
Going near the entrance and getting the herbs he wants, he returns to his cave abode and started refining the Whirlpool Pills, the whole process only lasting ten minutes for each set of ingredients, the number of ingredients he gathered enough for thirty sets.
'I've managed to condense seven pills consistently for every set of ingredients, this should be enough for me to last for the half a year time period' he thought to himself as he decided picking up another sets of ingredients from the abundant field, spending the entire day to refine more pills to give the other four.
After finishing, he checked them using his senses finding out that they're already in deep meditation, seemingly benefitting hugely from the techniques that they are studying and interrupting a cultivator when they're in such state is an unspoken taboo in the cultivator world, as being interrupted in the middle of such meditations is enough to damage a cultivator severely.
'I'll just give it to them when they're done with meditation' he thought to himself as he goes back to the library, reading all of the techniques there as a way to pass time before the cooldown of the Infinite Qi System resets.
