Chapter 27: Infinite Yuan Power

On the morning of May 3rd, it was the third day since Facing Facing Cang Luo was summoned to the Yuanwu Continent.

Facing Facing Cang Luo, who had slept restlessly, woke up early; the moment he opened his eyes, he saw Cang Feng still sitting by the bedside in the same posture he had maintained while cultivating last night.

Could Senior Brother Cang have been cultivating all night?

Facing Facing Cang Luo remembered that after circulating the Thunder Qi Art for seven cycles, he could no longer hold on and fell asleep.

Thinking of this, Facing Facing Cang Luo quickly checked his Yuan Wheel and found it still had only three rings.

"Surprisingly, there hasn't been a single change. Absorbing Yuan Power through normal cultivation methods is simply too slow. Even with an Earthling's physique, it isn't of much use. It seems I must obtain Yuan Stones sooner."

Facing Facing Cang Luo carefully got out of bed, picked up a wooden basin, and prepared to wash up, not wanting to wake Liu Xuande and Li Zhanxing, who were still fast asleep.

Behind the dormitory was a large vat for storing water. Although he didn't know where the water came from, having water was enough.

Facing Facing Cang Luo slowly opened the wooden door, afraid the creaking sound would wake them, yet he still woke one person.

"No need to worry; they should be waking up anyway," Cang Feng said with his eyes closed.

"Uh... has Senior Brother Cang been cultivating all night?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo was very curious about this, wondering how the other party managed to persist, going an entire night without sleep.

Facing Facing Cang Luo turned to look at Cang Feng and noticed a faint, dim light flickering beneath the clothes on his chest; the brightness was so low that it could only be detected because the room was relatively dark.

Was it a cultivation technique or some kind of treasure?

Although Facing Facing Cang Luo was curious, he wouldn't be so ignorant of human affairs as to foolishly ask.

Cang Feng nodded, stopped circulating his cultivation method, and the light spot on his chest vanished accordingly.

He opened his eyes and said, "My aptitude is ordinary; if I want to become stronger, I naturally must put in more effort."

"Senior Brother Cang is right; I must learn from you," Facing Facing Cang Luo said, shaking his head and sighing with many thoughts, realizing he still wasn't working hard enough.

"Hmm, go wash up. Later, we will all go to the Beast Mountain Forest together."

As he spoke, Cang Feng suddenly jumped off the bed, walked to Li Zhanxing's bedside, and kicked Li Zhanxing awake.

Startled, Li Zhanxing grabbed his wooden basin in a panic to wash up, and Liu Xuande was also awakened.

So brutal!

Seeing Cang Feng's method of waking people up, Facing Facing Cang Luo immediately broke out in a cold sweat, thinking this couldn't be the first time.

Half a ke later, the four had finished washing up; Facing Facing Cang Luo, Liu Xuande, and Li Zhanxing each took an iron sword and a backpack.

Cang Feng had empty hands, but no one objected, as he was the team leader and possessed the strongest strength, so he deserved such treatment.

The iron swords were merely ordinary iron swords, not rune weapons inscribed with magical arrays.

Facing Facing Cang Luo's sword originally belonged to Cang Feng, who said he didn't need it, so Facing Facing Cang Luo readily accepted it.

Inside the backpacks were some dried rations and water, along with several beast skins and hemp cloths for pitching tents.

With everything prepared, the four left the Profound Tianmen and rushed straight toward the Beast Mountain Forest.

While leaving the Outer Gate of the Profound Tianmen and passing through Profound Tianzhen, Facing Facing Cang Luo learned an interesting fact.

Profound Tianzhen was a town under the jurisdiction of the Profound Tianmen, with a population of several hundred thousand; the ten thousand menial disciples of the Profound Tianmen lived in Profound Tianzhen, and only those who became Martial Artists could enter the Outer Gate.

The so-called menial disciples were those aged fourteen to fifteen who had activated their Lower Dantian but had not yet condensed a Yuan Wheel; they were called Wu Tu.

On the Yuanwu Continent, humans had about a one percent chance of activating their Lower Dantian and becoming a Wu Tu upon turning fourteen.

Some of these Wu Tu would join a sect to become menial disciples.

Some would join the army, where they could learn the army's cultivation techniques and exchange military merit for cultivation resources.

Some would choose to become retainers for great families or wealthy households...

However, the probability of condensing a Yuan Wheel and becoming a Martial Artist was only about one-tenth; ninety percent of Wu Tu would have no connection to the Martial Dao.

That is to say, the ratio of ordinary people to Martial Artists on the Yuanwu Continent was approximately one thousand to one; only one Martial Artist could appear among a thousand people.

The Profound Tianmen recruits ten thousand Wu Tu every year, meaning ten thousand menial disciples; of course, it is not free, with an entrance fee of ten taels of silver.

These ten thousand menial disciples live in Profound Tianzhen; they must work while taking a medicinal soup provided by the Profound Tianmen to assist in condensing their Yuan Wheel over the course of a year.

The work content includes mining Yuan Stone mines, managing medicinal fields, orchards, vegetable gardens, and so on.

These are all assets of the Profound Tianmen, and the Profound Tianmen does not need to pay wages; providing food and lodging is sufficient.

Only when a menial disciple successfully condenses a Yuan Wheel and becomes an Outer Gate disciple can they stop working.

And menial disciples who have not condensed a Yuan Wheel after one year will be expelled from the Profound Tianmen and sent back to where they came from.

The above information was told to Facing Facing Cang Luo by Liu Xuande; Facing Facing Cang Luo heard it and felt there was no problem, but a single sentence from Cang Feng immediately made him understand the Profound Tianmen's tactics.

Cang Feng said meaningfully, "The medicinal soup provided by the Profound Tianmen to menial disciples must be taken continuously for eleven months to have hope of condensing a Yuan Wheel; of course, there are some who do it earlier, but the number is extremely small."

After hearing this, Facing Facing Cang Luo understood instantly, which was also the reason he found it interesting.

The reason menial disciples must take the medicinal soup continuously for eleven months to have hope of condensing a Yuan Wheel is that the Profound Tianmen wants this group of menial disciples to work for the sect for a year for free.

How much wealth could this group of free laborers create for the Profound Tianmen?

Not even counting the ten taels of silver entrance fee, ten thousand people amount to one hundred thousand taels of silver, or ten thousand low-grade Yuan Stones.

Facing Facing Cang Luo sighed with many thoughts, thinking of the profit-making methods of the Mission Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion, and suddenly realized the Profound Tianmen was just a company.

The Chief Supreme Elder is the Chairman, and the Sect Master is the CEO.

The Institutional Elders are the department heads, other Elders are senior executives, the Zhishi are middle management, and the disciples are employees...

The Beast Mountain Forest is located in the northeast of Tongzhou in the Chu Kingdom, one hundred and thirty-five li north of the Profound Tianmen.

The Beast Mountain Forest is vast, occupying nearly one-quarter of the area of Tongzhou.

It faces the sea to the east, and within it lies a mountain range running through the Beast Mountain Forest, called the Profound Yin Mountain Range.

The Profound Yin Mountain Range extends all the way to fifty li south of the Profound Tianmen; at the southernmost end of the mountain range lies a Yuan Stone mine, occupied by the Profound Tianmen and mined by the free laborers, the menial disciples.

Cang Feng led the three others, running wildly while circulating their movement techniques; euphemistically calling it cultivating movement techniques, they covered the one hundred and thirty-five li journey in less than two hours.

Moreover, they were not particularly tired; although stamina was consumed quite a bit, stamina could be converted from Yuan Power.

At this moment, Liu and Li sat on the ground, panting heavily as they recovered their Yuan Power and stamina; their Yuan Power was mostly depleted, and their stamina had reached rock bottom.

As for Facing Facing Cang Luo, his Yuan Power remained abundant, but his physical stamina was severely depleted; he was now sitting on the ground, slowly converting Yuan Power into stamina.

During the rest, Facing Facing Cang Luo saw a small village ahead.

To call it a village was an exaggeration; in truth, there were only some simple wooden huts and many tents, along with quite a few disciples of the Profound Tianmen moving about.

"What place is that ahead?" Facing Facing Cang Luo asked.

Li Zhanxing, sitting beside him and panting heavily, said weakly, "That is a campsite of the Profound Tianmen in the Beast Mountain Forest.

It is a place for sect disciples training in the Beast Mountain Forest to rest; there are dozens of such camps, big and small."

"I see. Let's go; I can't wait to find a beast to fight."

As he spoke, Facing Facing Cang Luo's stamina had already recovered; at this moment, he was full of energy, brimming with fighting spirit, and immensely excited.

Because he had just discovered that the satellite possessed an extremely perverted ability, which was the reason his Yuan Power could remain perpetually abundant.

Facing Facing Cang Luo discovered that while his Yuan Power was being consumed, it was immediately replenished.

Yes, it was "replenished."

It was not absorbed from the natural world, nor was it drawn from Yuan Stones.

This discovery left Facing Facing Cang Luo stunned; at first, he thought this was another golden finger.

Infinite Yuan Power!

It meant possessing infinite mana, allowing skills to be cast freely.

However, Facing Facing Cang Luo discovered that this Yuan Power did not appear out of nothing; he could vaguely feel that this Yuan Power was being transmitted to him by the satellite, which shared a mysterious connection with him.

While his Yuan Power was being consumed, the satellite would directly transmit Yuan Power into his Lower Dantian.

It was just that this passively recovered Yuan Power could not be used to condense the Yuan Wheel; only Yuan Power absorbed by circulating the mental cultivation method could be used to condense the Yuan Wheel.

Although it was a bit regrettable, Facing Facing Cang Luo was already extremely satisfied.

Why were Garen and Yasuo such seasoned veterans?

Because they had no mana bars!

Facing Facing Cang Luo guessed that the energy consumed by the satellite itself was actually not solar energy, but Yuan Power; the satellite could absorb Yuan Power in space.

He and the satellite shared a certain connection, and this connection allowed him to obtain and use certain functions of the satellite.

Such as connecting to the satellite's camera, such as controlling the satellite's laser cannon.

Such as connecting the mobile phone to the Earth's network, and the infinite Yuan Power discovered just now...

Having reached this conclusion, Facing Facing Cang Luo's mood could not calm down for a long time; at this moment, he was struggling to control his facial muscles, his tongue even bitten until it bled.

Do not laugh, absolutely do not laugh out loud, do not expose his greatest secret!

Now, Facing Facing Cang Luo very much wanted to find a beast to fight, to apply the infinite Yuan Power in actual combat, and to see how the infinite Yuan Power could be utilized in battle besides a war of attrition.

"Recovered so quickly?" Cang Feng looked curiously at Facing Facing Cang Luo and Li Zhanxing, who was still resting.

Facing Facing Cang Luo said calmly, "Mm, almost recovered."

Cang Feng nodded slightly and said, "Alright then, let's go; first, let's find a place at the camp to set up the tents."

Speaking thus, Cang Feng casually pulled up Facing Facing Cang Luo and Li Zhanxing, who were sitting on the ground resting.

Facing Facing Cang Luo thanked him, and then the four of them walked toward the nearby camp.

Set up camp first, then enter the Beast Mountain Forest.
