Chapter 18

After watching Garp's dog-headed warship sail away,

Li Xiao dived into the forest behind Windmill Village!

For the next period of time,

Li Xiao planned to live temporarily in the mountains and forests!

Makino had asked him yesterday

if he wanted to stay temporarily at the tavern,

as there were still empty rooms in the tavern,

but Li Xiao refused.

In Li Xiao's view,

for cultivation,

it was more suitable to be in the mountains and forests!

On one hand, it was quieter and undisturbed,

and the concentration of spiritual energy was also higher,

and on the other hand, it was more convenient for him to practice sword techniques and magical spells.

Speaking of spiritual energy,

perhaps because the pirate world had never given birth to a cultivator,

therefore,

the spiritual energy in this world was exceptionally abundant,

and even in a bustling town, the concentration of spiritual energy was very high,

and it was ridiculously high in the mountains and forests!

The physical fitness of the creatures in this world was generally strong,

perhaps partly because of the abundant spiritual energy.

In short,

no matter what,

the fact that the spiritual energy in this world was so abundant

was a good thing for Li Xiao,

as it could greatly increase his cultivation speed!

Back when he was on the deserted island,

he was able to cultivate to the late stage of Refining Essence into Qi within a month,

although there was the help of elixirs,

the abundant spiritual energy of the world itself was also one of the indispensable factors!

Although Li Xiao was not a master of wilderness survival,

with his cultivation base and the Qingshuang Sword in hand,

building a simple wooden house was not a problem!

(Qingshuang Sword: ~~QAQ~~~ Why am I either used to kill pigs or chop trees? We are both magic treasures, so why is the difference between me and the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda so big! Sob sob!)

After several hours of tossing and turning,

Li Xiao finally built a wooden house that could barely shelter him from the wind and rain.

Li Xiao walked into the house,

found a spot to sit cross-legged,

and listed the rewards obtained from this check-in one by one,

preparing to organize them properly!

First is the Sumeru Ring!

Like the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda and the Qingshuang Sword,

this was also a magic treasure,

but the difference was,

this was a special storage magic treasure!

The interior of the Sumeru Ring had a huge space of 10x10x10,

and as Li Xiao's cultivation base grew,

its internal space could be further expanded!

As for where the limit was,

Li Xiao didn't know either.

For a storage magic treasure,

Li Xiao had been thinking about it day and night for a long time!

As a cultivator,

how could one not have a storage magic treasure?

In Li Xiao's impression,

a storage magic treasure should be standard equipment!

Without a storage magic treasure,

Li Xiao always felt that his identity as a cultivator was missing something,

and it wasn't complete at all!

Although the Sumeru Ring, as a storage magic treasure,

didn't improve Li Xiao's strength much,

its effects in other aspects were huge!

With the Sumeru Ring,

it would be much more convenient for Li Xiao to travel around in the future.

If he could have obtained the Sumeru Ring earlier,

Li Xiao wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble moving things around when he raided the Navy G-16 branch before,

he could have just waved his hand,

and collected everything into the Sumeru Ring!

Simple, fast, and efficient!

Speaking of which,

actually, regarding the relevant information about the Sumeru Ring,

Li Xiao already had a rough understanding yesterday.

Before Garp left,

Li Xiao had already transferred all the wealth that belonged to him on the ship into the Sumeru Ring!

Hmm,

in a sense,

Li Xiao was now a walking treasure!

His attractiveness to certain specific groups was +99999!

Like a certain little thief cat...

Compared to the Sumeru Ring,

the second reward obtained from the check-in was a real improvement in strength!

Not only that,

like the Sumeru Ring,

in Li Xiao's heart,

it also belonged to the standard equipment of a cultivator!

That was—the Sword Control Technique!

The Sword Control Technique rewarded by the system was not very profound,

it was just the most basic cultivation method of the Sword Control Technique,

but for the current Li Xiao, it was already enough!

Li Xiao had the Qingshuang Sword,

so he didn't need to worry about the most difficult problem of a spiritual sword!

Therefore,

this reward was quite compatible with Li Xiao,

greatly enriching Li Xiao's means of attack!

(Qingshuang Sword: (?≧?≦)? Is it time for me to turn things around~~)

Besides that,

the most critical thing was,

this basic Sword Control Technique included the means of flying on a sword!

This was the part that made Li Xiao the most excited!

As a young man from the Dragon Country on Blue Star,

who didn't have a dream of flying on a sword?

And for Li Xiao,

the practicality of flying on a sword was actually very strong!

Most of the pirate world was sea,

and most of the battles that broke out actually happened at sea,

and Li Xiao needed to go to various places to check in,

so naturally, he couldn't avoid sailing on the sea.

Once a battle broke out at sea,

other things were secondary,

the most critical thing was that the ship was very easy to damage!

And once the ship was damaged,

and there was no suitable place to land,

that would be troublesome!

Although Li Xiao could currently achieve short-term hovering by releasing spiritual power,

the consumption was too high,

and the practicality was not strong!

But flying on a sword was different!

Ever since he learned to fly on a sword,

Mom no longer has to worry about me falling into the water!

Of course,

after all is said and done,

the reason why flying on a sword made Li Xiao so excited

was mainly because of one word—cool!

After all,

there is a saying,

being strong is only temporary,

but being cool is a lifelong thing!

After a long time,

Li Xiao finally collected his wandering thoughts,

and turned his attention to the other two elixirs,

which were the Spirit-Gathering Pill and the One Yang Pill!

The Spirit-Gathering Pill was not a rare thing,

it could increase cultivation speed in a short time after consumption,

and it was in every check-in reward before,

Li Xiao even suspected that this thing was a guaranteed reward?

However,

although the value of the Spirit-Gathering Pill was not high,

it couldn't withstand the large amount given this time!

Two whole bottles!

One bottle was a whole hundred pills!

This was enough for Li Xiao to use for a long time!

If he used up all these two bottles of Spirit-Gathering Pills,

Li Xiao didn't know to what extent his cultivation base would improve!

This was also a major reason why he wanted to stay in Windmill Village to cultivate for a while!
