    • Chapter 10: Cultivating Basic Spells, Bottleneck in Realm Advancement

      Chapter 10: Cultivating Basic Spells, Bottleneck in Realm Advancement Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Deep within the mine. In one of the forked passages, Yu Xian sat cross-legged, holding a spirit stone in each hand, cultivating without any reservation. With over 300 spirit stones now in his possession, Yu Xian finally felt rich. His cultivation became bold and unrestrained, expanding his qi sea and condensing spiritual energy. In just three short days, his qi sea had expanded again, reaching a width of one foot and five inches. At the same time, the density of his qi sea had noticeably…
    • Chapter 11: Getting Rich by Exchanging Spirit Stones, Buying Pills for Cultivation Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Xu Haoming's eyes lit up along with the radiant glow. It really was Blazing Sun Essence Jade! A tier-three material! No need for secondary refinement, no need for processing—it could directly be used to forge tier-three magical artifacts! In fact, at the Blacksmith Pavilion, you'd normally need at least 300 pieces of Blazing Sun Essence Stones, plus a fair amount of manual labor, to refine a single Blazing Sun Crystal that barely matched the quality of this Essence Jade. The Blazing Sun Essence Jade…
    • Chapter 8: Spirit Stones for a Talisman Treasure, Killing Zhao Mulin in the Mine Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Twelve Radiant Sun Spirit Stones shimmered brilliantly. The burly man picked one up, examined it carefully, then smiled in delight, "Nice, nice—all top-grade." After appraising them, the man waved his hand and stored all twelve stones, then looked at Yu Xian and said with a grin, "Give me your storage pouch, I'll transfer 144 low-grade spirit stones to you." "I don't have a storage pouch," Yu Xian shook his head. "No storage pouch?" The man frowned. "Then how are you going to carry 144 low-grade…
    • Chapter 9: Harvest from the Storage Bag, Competition for Management Begins

      Chapter 9: Harvest from the Storage Bag, Competition for Management Begins Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks The blazing sun spirit stones in the storage bag were mostly collected monthly from the disciples, or exchanged with spirit stones. Suddenly seeing such a "large fortune" made Yu Xian's heart stir with excitement. But he quickly calmed himself. Zhao Mulin's death wasn't a big deal within the sect, but the incident concerning the Bai Kuang Mine was no small matter. Especially since he had lost the storage bag, which contained over a month's worth of mined ore handed in by the disciples. With this…
    • Chapter 7: Practicing Spells with Cunning, Trading in the Forging Hall for Spirit Stones Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks As dusk approached, Yu Xian dragged his exhausted body out of the mine tunnel. He carefully wrapped and hid four blazing sun essence stones inside his clothes—no one would notice. All around him, other mining disciples emerged too—some with joy on their faces, others looking dejected or furious. Some gathered in small groups, familiar with each other. Others, like Yu Xian, were alone. Some disciples headed straight to the steward's residence to exchange their findings for spirit stones. Others…
    • Chapter 5: Spirit Root Testing at White Cloud Sect, Forced into the Hundred Mines Division Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Yu Xian immediately raised both hands high, imitating the formal apprentice salute that the village's only scholar had taught the children. He bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple thanks Senior for the guidance!" "Rise." Elder Quan casually waved his hand. Whoosh! Snow and wind scattered as a slender, canoe-like object about two zhang long suddenly appeared in the courtyard, floating in mid-air and glowing with a faint tricolored light. "Get on." Elder Quan stepped into the air and arrived at the…

      Chapter 6: Unprovoked Targeting, the Jade Pendant’s Power Awakens in the Mine Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Sitting on the wooden bed, Yu Xian calmed his mind and regulated his breath for a while. He casually opened the bundle beside him. Inside were two sets of clean clothes — the standard outer sect attire of the White Cloud Sect. There were also four books, titled: White Cloud Qi Cultivation Method Ten Basic Spells Compendium of a Hundred Ores Miscellaneous Talks of the Spirit Realm Two bottles accompanied them, labeled Fasting Pills and Spirit Water Pills. Looking at the two types of pills, Yu Xian…
    • Chapter 4: New Year’s Eve in the Snow, the Immortal of Baiyun Guides the Way

      Chapter 4: New Year’s Eve in the Snow, the Immortal of Baiyun Guides the Way Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Spiritual energy converged in Yu Xian's dantian, condensing from the size of a grain of rice, to a soybean, to a peanut, to a pea, then to the size of an egg, and finally a goose egg! Yet Yu Xian's expression remained unchanged—calm and composed. Beads of sweat began to form on his forehead. Opening the Qi Sea in the dantian was a painful process. But pain was the least of the challenges. The real difficulty was controlling the spiritual energy—compressing it without letting it go berserk! So…
    • Chapter 2 – One Year of Cultivation Complete, Preparing to Condense Qi in the Back Mountain Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks The moon hung bright in a sparse sky; no one knew when the heavy rain had stopped. Was it a dream? Xiao Xian suddenly pulled open his shirt with force. In the center of his chest, a very small elm tree-shaped mark glowed faintly. Not a dream! Xiao Xian jumped off the tree stump and began digging frantically at the spot his "mother" had pointed out. The rain- and blood-soaked mud quickly gave way. About a foot deep, a jade slip suddenly appeared! "Basic Elm Heart Qi Refining Method" The jade slip…
    • Chapter 3 Turning the Tables on the Evil Cultivator – Yu Xian on the Verge of a Breakthrough Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Footsteps grew clearer, finally reaching the entrance of the cave. A shadow cast itself faintly into the cave through the dim light. The person clearly sensed something. He didn't enter right away but instead stood at the entrance for a moment, and then a wary voice rang out: "Who's inside?" It was the voice of a grown man. Yu Xian tensed up, his breath gathering, but he didn't respond. "This cave is my residence. If you're a hunter from Dayushu Village or Shihe Village and happened upon this place…
