Boom boom boom…
Each planar world was pieced together to form a unified whole.
"Spirit, when I awaken, don't mention the past. Return my memories from when I was twenty. Just guide me, and let me experience things for myself. I'm too bored and lonely."
"Yes, Master."
………….
………….
Boom….
A youth emerged from the exploding rocks, appearing at the peak of Profound Dao Gate Mountain.
"Hmm… a young man born from stone, eh? It's fate… fate."
The image of an old man faded, gradually disappearing into darkness.
Gasp…
He jolted awake, finding himself in a room.
"Ah, you're awake."
He looked at the old man, feeling unfamiliar.
"My name is Xu Zhentian, Sect Master of Profound Dao Sect."
"Name?"
He wondered about his name.
*Your name is Yang Jie.*
"Yang Jie!!!"
"Oh, so your name is Yang Jie. Well, get some rest. See me tomorrow."
Creak….
The door closed, leaving him alone.
"Who's talking to me?"
*I am your Mind Spirit.*
"Mind Spirit?"
*Yes.*
Buzz….
"Aaaaa…"
Consciousness flooded his sea of consciousness, returning his memories from when he was twenty.
After he calmed down.
*Master, relax your divine sense.*
"Mhm."
Whoosh…..
Teleported into an inner space, he looked around in a daze, seeing only vast land and grass.
*This is an independent space you created. I am the consciousness you forged in the Netherworld. We are one; if you die, I die too. No one can enter here unless you wish it.*
"Mhm!"
*You don't need to speak; just think, and I will understand.*
*Mhm.*
*There are a few things I need to guide you on.*
*First, time here flows a hundred million times faster than outside. And the speed doubles when you reach a new cultivation realm, but this only affects plants, not living creatures. Take advantage of this: plants will grow quickly and won't die, only stopping at their peak growth. For any single plant species, you can grow a maximum of ten plants. These are the rules you established within this space.*
*Mhm, I understand.*
*Second, I can analyze, combine, and provide knowledge on anything you ask, thanks to the rule of temporal analysis of phenomena.*
*Finally, you can hide in here when you encounter powerful enemies. This is the most important thing. If you kick the bucket, I'm done for. I will watch over you.*
"I understand. What do I do now?"
*Getting rich is the starting point that makes everything easier.*
The Mind Spirit said.
*Right, right, get rich, but how?*
*Look for medicinal herbs, rare trees, precious flowers, and such.*
…. Creak….
He opened the door and stepped out to explore.
This place was a tall, cloud-shrouded mountain. Where he stood was a small room for miscellaneous disciples, surrounded by rows of green bamboo interspersed with other rooms.
People passing by looked at him with strange and envious eyes.
"Brother, may I ask something?"
The person looked at him with disdain. Without answering, they walked away. He felt extremely uncomfortable inside.
*This world is like that; only strength is respected.*
*The strong.*
At this moment, someone who had been observing him saw Yang Jie's intention to ask for information and immediately ran over.
"Little brother, I am Li Tong, nicknamed 'All-Knowing' by others. If you need any help, just call me. I'm in the room opposite yours."
"Thank you. Brother, could you tell me where to find medicinal herbs?"
"Medicinal herbs, you say? You exchange merit points for them at the Herb Hall."
"Oh, I see you're new. Let me help you understand the sect better."
Li Tong took out a jade slip and handed it to Yang Jie. When Yang Jie squeezed the jade slip, consciousness flooded his sea of consciousness, providing him with all the historical information and details.
"Many thanks, Brother. I will repay you in the future."
"It's nothing. Here are 100 spirit stones I'm giving you to buy things from other disciples who are selling them."
"You're truly kind to me, Brother. I'll return them later."
One more brother, one more source of strength. I'm off.
Whoosh….
Dương Khiết strolled through the exchange market.
"Master, buy some Tiên Linh Thảo."
"How do you know?"
"We are one."
"Uhm."
"Brother, may I ask how much the Tiên Linh Thảo costs?"
"20 spirit stones."
He immediately bought one.
"Sir, buy some more ginseng root."
"Brother, how much is the ginseng root?"
"50 spirit stones."
He bought it, then strolled around for another round. He also managed to acquire the Hấp Khí Công cultivation technique.
Returning to his room, he closed the door. He entered the space. He planted pears, ginseng, and Tiên Linh Thảo. He could visibly see them growing.
"You meditate. I will operate the cultivation technique to lay the foundation, then you can cultivate yourself."
"Uhm."
….
Swish… swish…
He immersed himself in cultivation. Two hours later, the Hấp Khí Công had reached Minor Accomplishment. Its power would grow with his cultivation realm. Now, his breath absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy.
Bang…
A sound rang out, confirming he had reached the first cultivation realm: Refinement Realm, First Layer.
He emerged; it was already midnight. He immediately fell asleep until morning.
