Chapter 348: Cave Abode, Small Spirit Gathering Formation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When he saw Jiang Ping call out his flying sword, he suddenly recalled senior brother Luo San’s warning, so he hurriedly waved his hand.
“Senior brother, there’s no need for that. I can fly by myself.”
As he spoke, he slightly revealed his core formation aura. When the latter heard this, he was stunned, and his expression seemed to be somewhat disappointed.
When Su Yi saw the other party’s subtle expression, his eyelids twitched.
Sure enough, as senior brother Luo San said, there was definitely something strong going on with riding on senior brother Jiang Ping’s flying sword.
After that, Jiang Ping seemed to have reacted and said in surprise, “Junior brother, you’ve formed your core?”
Su Yi nodded lightly and did not hide his realm. When the latter saw this, he sucked in a breath of cold air and muttered, “What kind of monster did Master take in this time?”
…
After familiarizing himself with some places on the Pill Cloud Peak with senior brother Jiang Ping, he chose a cave abode and settled down.
This was the treatment that belonged to Pill Cloud Peak disciples. Ordinary outer sect disciples did not have this kind of cave abode to live in. In other words, as long as one became one of the disciples of the four peaks, their status would be considered in the inner sect.
Of course, most of the disciples of the four peaks were chosen from the inner sect. If one wanted to enter the four peaks from the outer sect, one could only be like Su Yi and the others, surpassing ordinary people in the entrance assessment.
As for the outer sect disciples, most of them lived in a house they built themselves in the outer sect area, or in a small town that was specially built for the disciples of the Spirit Firmament Sect. Living there was very simple. They only needed ten spirit stones a day.
Similarly, the small town did not just provide lodging. There was also a trading center.
Some disciples who obtained some treasures from the wild that they did not want to give to the sect in exchange for contribution points would bring them to trade in the trading center. It was equivalent to a black market for the Spirit Firmament Sect.
However, Su Yi did not need to live there. He was a disciple of the Pill Cloud Peak and had his own cave abode.
At this moment, Su Yi was standing in front of a cave abode. The appearance outside this cave abode was exactly the same as that of the eldest senior brother. There was a restriction seal on the door that could only be opened after he identified himself as a disciple of the Pill Cloud Peak.
He walked forward and took out his Spirit Firmament Sect disciple token according to Jiang Pin’s instructions. Then, he gently touched the restriction seal.
Soon, as the token came into contact with it, the restriction seal on the door of the cave abode rippled visibly in his eyes. Then, a wisp of aura fused into it from Su Yi’s disciple token.
At this moment, this cave abode was finally Su Yi’s.
He pushed open the door of the cave abode and slowly walked in.
Although these cave abodes were set up in the mountain, they were not dark. He did not know where the source of light came from.
The absurd thing was that he could actually feel that the air inside this cave abode was much better than the air outside.
Of course, this was just Su Yi’s misconception. What was really happening was that the spiritual energy inside the cave abode was denser than the air outside, which was why the air was somewhat fresh.
This cave abode looked very spacious at first glance. He saw a gigantic pill furnace in the abode, as if it was a must-have fixture in the caves of the Pill Cloud Peak.
However, thinking about it, it made sense. Those who did not know how to refine pill would not be accepted by Master Xiao Qian, to begin with. He would probably not allow the other party to become a disciple of the Pill Cloud Peak.
However, there was no earth fire under this gigantic pill furnace. In other words, if one wanted to refine pills themselves, one had to condense their own pill fire?
On the walls on both sides of the pill furnace were rows of grooves. They should be used to store pill bottles.
However, for Su Yi, there was no need. His imprint space would expand a little every month. Right now, his imprint space was large enough to store the entire cave abode.
After walking past the pill furnace, there was the living area of the cultivators behind. There was a cultivation bed and a secret chamber sealed by a stone door.
Seeing this secret chamber, he curiously pushed open the stone door and walked in.
The inside was not as bright as the outside. Instead, it felt cozy. Under this secret chamber, there was a futon. There were some simple array patterns carved on the wall.
“This is the small spirit gathering array that senior brother Jiang mentioned, right?”
He looked at this secret chamber and suddenly thought of what Jiang Ping had told him before he left. There was a small spirit gathering array in the cave abode. Putting in spirit stones could speed up cultivation.
This was a benefit that only their Pill Cloud Peak had, and in the main peak, there were only three spirit gathering arrays.
Moreover, they were divided into three grades: first grade, second grade, and third grade.
These three kinds of spirit gathering arrays were provided for all Spirit Firmament Sect disciples to use. However, there was a condition to enter, which was to pay sect points or spirit stones.
What the Spirit Firmament Sect’s sect points were, let’s not talk about it for now. As for spirit stones, entering a grade 1 spirit gathering array required 100 low-grade spirit stones a day.
A grade 2 spirit gathering array required 1,000 spirit stones, and a grade 3 spirit gathering array required 10,000 spirit stones.
It could be seen that it was absolutely impossible to spend spirit stones to cultivate in the spirit gathering array for a long time.
Of course, those three spirit gathering arrays could not be compared to the small spirit gathering arrays in the Pill Cloud Peak.
For example, a grade 1 spirit gathering formation would increase cultivation by 50%.
A grade 2 spirit gathering formation would increase cultivation by 150%.
A grade 3 spirit gathering formation would be amazing, obtaining 300% of cultivation.
A grade 3 spirit gathering formation was indeed amazing, but the consumption of 10,000 low-grade spirit stones a day was something that only a disciple with a fortune could enter to cultivate.
Most disciples would occasionally spend their sect points to go to the grade 1 spirit gathering array to cultivate for eight to ten days.
Soon, Su Yi saw a groove in the secret room. It must be where one placed the spirit stones. Thinking of this, he took out a few low-grade spirit stones and put them in.
The small spirit gathering array was activated, and the patterns carved on the wall lit up. At the same time, a Dao sound notification sounded in Su Yi’s mind.
[Hint: You have entered the range of the spirit gathering array. Your cultivation has been increased by 5%.]
Seeing this, he was slightly stunned. Then, he shook his head and smiled. Even if it was only a 5% increase, it was still many times better than the other disciples.
What else could he ask for?
At this time, Little Xie appeared. She stretched her body and said contentedly.
“Wow– I can finally come out again.”
Looking at Little Xie who suddenly appeared, his eyes narrowed slightly. Then, he said to her slowly, as if he had made up his mind, “Little Xie.”
The latter turned around and asked Su Yi.
“What’s the matter, big bad guy? Did you encounter some problems and need my help again?”
However, Little Xie soon found that Su Yi’s expression was a little strange. This extremely serious expression made her heart beat fast, as if something was going to happen.
“Little Xie, I’m sorry.”
“Huh?”
Little Xie’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this. This tone, could it be that he was about to abandon her?
“Due to my selfishness, I have forced you to be restricted. You shouldn’t have been restricted. But now, I understand.”
“Big bad guy, you’re…”
Little Xie said slowly in a low voice, her little face turning pale, as if she had already foreseen Su Yi’s next words.
Was he about to say ‘you’re free’, or ‘you can go’? What was even more terrifying was if he said ‘I don’t need you anymore’.
At the thought of this, Little Xie was immediately distracted and turned into a puff of white smoke, returning to the imprinted space, leaving behind distressing words in the air of the cave abode.
“I don’t want to go!”
