Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Day one, Xu Zhangqing was stabilizing his cultivation realm.

Day two, he opened his Personal Space.

Day three, whether himself or the things inside, all went wild with excitement.

Seven days passed in a row, and his Spiritual Root, cultivation realm, and Spirit Plants were all undergoing changes.

The efficiency with which his Water-Wood Spiritual Root attracted and mobilized the surrounding Spiritual Energy increased by several times.

In terms of cultivation realm, quantitative change triggered qualitative transformation, and moreover, because of the Four Seasons Fruit's blessing effect, the gains were even more than imagined.

Xu Zhangqing was one hundred percent certain that after ten days, even if his own cultivation realm had not reached Golden Core Late Stage, it would at least be infinitely close.

No helping it, at a depth of five hundred meters, the Life Force was too dense.

Even if you swapped in another person, with the Four Seasons Fruit, Heaven-Defying Cultivation Method, Top-Grade Golden Core, and so on combined together, they would still have this kind of efficiency.

If swapped for a top-tier genius, they would likely be even faster.

As for the Spirit Plants inside the Personal Space, they had a bit of a "rain after long drought" feel.

After absorbing more and more Life Force, the first to metamorphose were the various Rare Spirit Plants, and the two with the greatest changes were these.

First, the Fuyan Fanzi Mother Rice.

Second, the Three Spirit Sacred Tree.

The Three Spirit Sacred Tree happened to match the Water-Wood Spiritual Root, so its growth speed was very fast.

Basically one height per day, growing continuously without stop.

And the Fuyan Fanzi Mother Rice was a bit outrageous, it actually started exploding with seeds.

The more Life Force it absorbed, the more rice seeds it dropped, and even more outrageous was that these seeds falling on the ground all grew continuously at a speed visible to the Naked Eye.

In just six days' time, centered on the Fuyan Fanzi Mother Rice, spreading outward over a kilometer, it had already become entirely their "Territory".

Other rice seeds, Spirit Plants, completely had no living space.

Any that were not the same variety were all squeezed out.

Forcing Xu Zhangqing to make a trip inside, moving all the remaining Spirit Rice and Spirit Plants to another Spirit Field, only then did things settle down.

Although the current situation was a bit off, one could also say it was abnormal.

But having changes is still better than having no changes, right?

What's more, these exploded seeds were all Rare Spirit Plants.

……

……

Outside, Mu Ning had been standing guard, after all she had to close the Life Pool.

As time passed day by day, for some unknown reason, she herself became increasingly weak.

At first it was still very normal, but the further it went the more she couldn't muster the strength, even starting to feel drowsy.

Bei Qingtang, returning after several days apart, took one look and was stunned on the spot: "What happened to you?"

Mu Ning glanced at the Life Pool behind her, shook her head and said: "I'm not sure either, I've never encountered this kind of situation before."

Bei Qingtang's willow brows furrowed: "If it really won't do, let's summon Sixth Junior Brother out early."

Mu Ning hurriedly waved her hand: "No, can't do that, what if he just happens to reach Foundation Establishment Perfection these few days?"

Bei Qingtang hesitated slightly: "But your current situation……"

Mu Ning gave a weak smile: "I'm fine, I can still persist a bit longer."

Bei Qingtang was very helpless: "You lot, each and every one, truly worry me to pieces."

Mu Ning was very curious: "What happened?"

Bei Qingtang said with annoyance: "Second Junior Brother perhaps worries Sixth Junior Brother will snatch Su Tiantian away, or marry into her family, so the two simply moved in together."

Mu Ning blanked for a moment: "What's wrong with moving in together?"

Bei Qingtang said with a slightly complex expression: "You're still young, you don't understand what it means."

Once they move in together, what should happen has definitely already happened.

With good luck, maybe after a while they'll be able to hold a child.

Yao Xianzi heard this news and flew into a rage, nearly attacking.

In just a few days, she stirred up the entire Qingmu Peak into chaos.

Even alarmed the Master who was in Seclusion, only after much coaxing did she calm down.

If Su Tiantian were just an ordinary Disciple, everyone would of course not care.

However, her mother is Qingmu Peak's Yao Xianzi.

Her father even gave his life for the Immortal Sect.

And on the Yao Yue Immortal Sect's side, they also have some connections.

Therefore, everyone knows clearly that no matter what, this matter must be given an explanation.

Otherwise, the relationship between the two sides won't just become strained, it could even tear apart at any moment.

Say a thousand things, ten thousand things, pulling Sixth Junior Brother to marry in, that's what Yao Xianzi would be happy with.

However, Second Junior Brother moving in with Su Tiantian, Yao Xianzi is not happy with.

Right now is precisely the Sect Master election stage, if the matter is blown up, not only will the Master's reputation be damaged, I'm afraid the entire Qingmu Peak will be affected.

Over the next three days, Bei Qingtang came to check on Mu Ning from time to time.

Although she grew weaker with each passing day, the little girl still persisted.

By the time Xu Zhangqing came out, it wasn't just Eldest Senior Sister and Mu Ning.

Even Third Senior Brother Qin Ye and Fourth Senior Brother Gu Qiao had come.

After all, even they didn't have the qualification to enter the Life Pool.

Someone who joined later had instead been the first to obtain Recognition.

No matter who it was, they would feel curious.

"What do you all think, how much can Sixth Junior Brother improve?"

"At least Foundation Establishment Perfection, right?"

"Maybe he's only a step away from Golden Core!"

"Man-grade Golden Core is no problem, Earth-grade Golden Core though..."

"Sixth Junior Brother never came to the Immortal Sect before, he's lacking in every aspect!"

Just as everyone was discussing heatedly.

On the other side, Mu Ning seemed to sense it and hurriedly called out: "He's out."

Not long after, with the sound of "tap tap tap" footsteps resounding, Xu Zhangqing, absent for ten days, carrying a dust-transcending temperament, walked out step by step.

Bei Qingtang hurriedly asked: "Sixth Junior Brother, how much did you improve?"

Xu Zhangqing saluted everyone with clasped hands and said with a light smile: "Thanks to Master, thanks to Senior Sister and Senior Brothers, I am now only a calamity away from Golden Core."

As these words came out, some were surprised, some breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the final result was about the same as they expected.

In the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage, the Life Pool's effect is very great.

Once one reaches Golden Core, even the Nascent Soul above, the effect becomes worse and worse.

Even to the end, it cannot raise one's cultivation realm, and can only be used to heal injuries.

Xu Zhangqing took everyone's reactions in his eyes, and secretly thought: "Things have come to this, dragging it out further has no meaning.

Once Master breaks through to Spirit Severing, he might very well see through my disguise."

Better to take this opportunity and find a chance to 'break through' to Golden Core.

This way, not only can he avoid more trouble.

The key is he can obtain a tilt of more resources from the Immortal Sect and Qingmu Peak.

No matter how you look at it, there are only benefits, not many drawbacks.

Mu Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, my persistence these many days wasn't in vain."

She swiftly closed the Life Pool's entrance.

Her originally weak body gradually began to recover.

Bei Qingtang was very satisfied with the result: "Good, later find a chance, let you smoothly pass the calamity in our Qingmu Peak."

Third Senior Brother Qin Ye asked with a hearty laugh: "Sixth Junior Brother, have you decided which kind of Golden Core?"

Man-grade Golden Core has low difficulty, only pity its potential is limited.

Earth-grade Golden Core has high difficulty, yet can awaken a divine ability, possessing a better future.

As for Heaven-grade Golden Core, forget it.

Not to mention the person before us, even the few of them, or the vast majority of cultivators in the entire Tianyuan Realm, almost none have the qualification.

Xu Zhangqing answered seriously: "I choose Earth-grade Golden Core, only this way can I walk farther!"
