At this moment, everyone felt a pang of sorrow.
Qin Ning sighed and slowly walked towards the lake.
At this moment, Ye Yuanjuan followed Qin Ning’s gaze towards the lake and suddenly noticed streams of light condensing, shimmering with a smooth, jade-like luster.
“This is…”
A hint of surprise flickered across Ye Yuanjuan’s face.
“Golden Flame Jade Seeds!”
Qin Ning had already entered the lake. He gently waved his palm, causing the water droplets to roll around like jade spirit pills.
“Golden Flame Jade Seeds, what are those?”
This was the first time Ye Yuanjuan had heard of such a thing.
Qin Ning gradually gathered the Golden Flame Jade Seeds into his palm.
“They’re good stuff!”
Qin Ning replied seriously, “If you are a mortal, eating these Golden Flame Jade Seeds can turn you into a Spirit Body martial artist, with extremely rapid cultivation; if you are an Emperor Body, eating one of these can make you like a Divine Body, accelerating your cultivation.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yuanjuan was suddenly shocked.
Divine Body…! If characters with such special physiques truly existed, wouldn’t it be reasonable for them to advance three realms in a single day?
“Of course, only for a short time!”
However, Qin Ning suddenly smiled.
“How short is ‘short time’?”
A genius would remember in just a second.
“Probably about a month!”
Qin Ning smiled, put away the Golden Flame Jade Seeds, and said, “This is the essence of earth fire. Earth fire is originally a spiritual object born from the concentrated spiritual energy of heaven and earth, containing the most fundamental aura of heaven and earth.”
Hearing him say this, Ye Yuanjuan nodded.
After putting away each Golden Flame Jade Seed, Qin Ning walked up to Ye Yuanjuan, gently took her beautiful hand, and a Golden Flame Jade Seed suddenly appeared.
“Absorb it carefully. With a month’s time, I won’t just help you enter the Spirit Platform realm this time. With the effects of the Golden Flame Jade Seeds, plus the lotus seed from before, within a month, based on your Emperor Body cultivation progress, you should at least reach the fifth layer of the Spirit Platform realm.”
As he spoke, Ye Yuanjuan nodded slightly, but her cheeks flushed.
It seemed that being Qin Ning’s maid wasn’t so bad after all.
At least, up until now, by Qin Ning’s side, all the treasures she had encountered were top-tier existences in heaven and earth.
There were even things she had never heard of.
Compared to before, her strength had increased by more than ten times.
“Are you feeling lucky now that you’ve become my maid?”
Qin Ning smiled, “Are you perhaps longing to warm my bed?”
His words made Ye Yuanjuan’s face flush even redder, giving people the feeling of a cherry that made everyone drool, wanting nothing more than to take a bite.
The two stood in the cave, reluctant to leave.
Ye Yuanjuan felt puzzled, “What are we still waiting for here?”
“Waiting for something good!”
Qin Ning smiled and replied, “Back then, in District Thirty-Six, the Tian Shen Academy’s dormitory area was the best. Why was that?”
“Because this place seems to contain an extremely high concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy.”
As soon as Ye Yuanjuan finished speaking, she saw Qin Ning’s eyes freeze.
“You mean, this place is the key?”
“That’s right!”
Qin Ning nodded, “This place is indeed the most crucial spot.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ning sat down cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.
At the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, nine massive spirit seas within his body condensed at the ninth aperture, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper his physique.
Now, Qin Ning began to prepare to enter the Spirit Platform Realm.
Time gradually passed, and the moon rose high.
At this moment, in District Thirty-Six, Qin Hai, Lu Xuan, Zhang Xiaoshuai, and Xun Yu were sitting in the courtyard.
Under the bright moon hanging in the sky, the four sat facing each other.
Zhang Xiaoshuai couldn't help but sigh, "The flowers are blooming, and the moon is full, but it's a pity we're in this gloomy place!"
"Did you guys notice? Earlier, I went to check around, and all the plants and flowers were withered. Tell me, could it be due to rampant demons?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Lu Xuan chuckled and scolded, "We are martial artists, are we really afraid of these things?"
"I am afraid!"
Zhang Xiaoshuai grimaced, "Sigh, I really didn't expect that the boss, who has been wise his whole life, would actually enjoy playing such stimulating games in a strange place like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Qin Hai, Lu Xuan, and Xun Yu suddenly became strange.
"Speaking of which, it's already midnight. Even if the boss has a strong body and abundant energy, how can Ye Yuanyuan's body endure it?"
The three glanced at Zhang Xiaoshuai, then shook their heads, speechless. One by one, they left, each returning to their own room.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go, I'm scared alone!"
Zhang Xiaoshuai looked around. The thought that only a few of them lived in the vast District Thirty-Six made his body tremble uncontrollably.
At the same time, inside the cave, Qin Ning and Ye Yuanyuan were still cultivating.
But gradually, Ye Yuanyuan felt that the surging spiritual energy in her body seemed to be increasing by more than just a single fold at this moment.
In surprise, Ye Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide, only to see that the spiritual energy on the clear water in the lake was slowly appearing in liquid form.
"This is..."
"A spirit vein!"
Qin Ning calmly said, "In heaven and earth, there have always been many strange places, just like the human body, which has Spirit Bodies, Saint Bodies, King Bodies, Emperor Bodies, Imperial Bodies, and Divine Bodies.
The distribution of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth also has strange places."
"This place is a terrestrial spirit vein!"
A terrestrial spirit vein!
Joy also appeared in Ye Yuanyuan's usually clear eyes.
Terrestrial spirit veins have always been places rich in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, many times more effective than Spirit Gathering Arrays.
Moreover, it is said that there are even celestial spirit veins with extreme concentrations. If one cultivates around a celestial spirit vein, their strength will increase by leaps and bounds.
"How do you know there's a terrestrial spirit vein here?"
Ye Yuanyuan was astonished.
Qin Ning hadn't left earlier, obviously because he knew the secret of this place.
"Me?"
Qin Ning stood up, patted his sleeves, and smiled, "Just a guess!"
A guess?
Only a ghost would believe that!
"Alright, let's go!"
Qin Ning waved his hand, "Logically, after tens of thousands of years, this terrestrial spirit vein should have been completely depleted. However, due to the existence of the subterranean fire restraining the speed of spiritual energy dissipation, it will now gush out like a geyser.
By then, the entire District Thirty-Six will become a sacred land for cultivation."
"It will be extremely beneficial for us to cultivate here!"
Qin Ning continued to walk ahead, his hands clasped behind his back, at ease and unhurried.
Ye Yuanyuan finally understood.
No wonder Qin Ning asked about District Thirty-Six and then immediately chose this place.
This guy had planned everything out in advance.
However, once
