Chapter 7: Divine Void Godstone
While they were discussing this matter, a White robed man suddenly appeared inside the room. The white-robed man's face was grave as he soul-searched Li Chen and Fang Min. The white-robed man was one of the most powerful figures in the Immemorial Dragon Sect - an elder in charge of security and intelligence.
Lin Xiaowen watched from the inside, his expression calm and unreadable. He had long anticipated that someone would investigate the spatial anomaly, and had taken precautions to protect himself and Fang Min.
As the white-robed man grabbed Li Chen, Fang Min's heart skipped a beat. He knew that if the elder found out about the black stone that he had obtained, it would mean trouble for him and Li Chen. But he remained composed, watching as the elder soul searched Li Chen without finding anything.
The elder then turned to Fang Min, and Lin Xiaowen's heart rate increased. He knew that Fang Min's weak cultivation and frail body made him vulnerable to a soul search. But before the elder could delve too deeply, Lin Xiaowen raised his hand and sent a flurry of false memories to the elder's divine sense.
The elder's expression changed as he read the false memories, but then he relaxed and left. Lin Xiaowen let out a sigh of relief, grateful that his plan had worked.
"Immortal Ascension Realm Elder..." Lin Xiaowen finally relaxed. Immortal Ascension Realm was the third realm after finishing the origin reversal."
Lin Xiaowen let out a breath he didn't know he was holding as he saw the Immortal Ascension Realm Elder leave the room. The Immortal Ascension Realm was the third realm that one could reach after completing the Origin Reversal, which was a significant milestone in a cultivator's journey. The fact that an Immortal Ascension Realm Elder had personally investigated the disturbance was a testament to the seriousness of the situation.
Lin Xiaowen turned his attention back to Fang Min, who was still lying on the ground, recovering from the effects of the Soul Search. He couldn't afford to waste any more time, so he began to focus on cultivating his spiritual energy.
"I lost all the energy I gathered while I was in a coma and the energy I saved up after waking up. But this Black Stone should be worth it." Lin Xiaowen thought.
Meanwhile, Li Chen was still unconscious on the other side of the room. Fang Min sighed, knowing that he would have to wait until Li Chen regained consciousness before he could explain everything that had happened.
Fang Min asked Lin Xiaowen curiously, "Hey, Lin Xiaowen, what kind of abilities does this Black Stone have?"
"Fang Min, the name 'Black Stone' sounds a bit dull. How about we call it the 'Divine Void Godstone'? This treasure has the ability to manipulate time and space. It can open a separate space within itself and can slow down time inside it. Imagine that you are inside the Divine Void Godstone." Lin Xiaowen said.
"Okay," Fang Min replied, intrigued.
"When you step into the Divine Void Godstone, time slows down to a twenty-fourth of the outside world's time. So if you spend a day inside the Godstone, only an hour will have passed outside. It's like a separate world, where you can train for a longer time without wasting your real-world time. This can be extremely useful for cultivating or even escaping danger." Lin Xiaowen explained.
"That's amazing!" Fang Min exclaimed. "What else can it do?"
"The Divine Void Godstone can also open a separate space within itself. This space can be used to store objects or even people. However, the space is limited, so you can't store too much in it." Lin Xiaowen continued.
"Now try going in." Lin Xiaowen calmly said.
Fang Min closed his eyes and focused on his Qi, then slowly entered the Divine Void Godstone. As soon as he entered, he felt a strange sensation, as if time and space were distorted.
Fang Min's eyes widened in surprise as he realized that he was no longer in the same place where he was. Instead, he found himself in a completely different space. The Divine Void Godstone had transported him to what appeared to be an endless plain, stretching as far as his eyes could see. The sky above him was a bright shade of blue, and he noticed a massive tree standing nearby.
Fang Min tried to move, and he noticed that his body felt lighter and his movements were smoother. It was as if the time inside the Divine Void Godstone was indeed slower.
"This is incredible." Fang Min muttered to himself as he took in his surroundings.
Suddenly, he heard a voice in his mind. It was Lin Xiaowen's voice.
"Fang Min, can you hear me?"
"Yes, senior." Fang Min replied.
"This is the Divine Void Godstone's inner space. You can cultivate here without any disturbances from the outside world. Time flows slower here, giving you more time to cultivate. You can spend one day inside the Godstone, and only an hour will have passed outside." Lin Xiaowen explained.
Fang Min nodded as he took in the information. He was amazed by the power of this treasure. It was undoubtedly one of the most valuable treasures he had ever seen.
With a smile on his face, Fang Min took a deep breath and began to cultivate. The slower flow of time allowed him to concentrate better, and he made remarkable progress in just a few hours.
As he continued to cultivate, he realized that the Divine Void Godstone was not just a treasure, but a powerful tool that could help him reach new heights in his cultivation.
"Wow, this is amazing!" Fang Min exclaimed, realizing the incredible power of the Divine Void Godstone."
Inside the Divine Void Godstone, Fang Min sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate. He could feel that the Qi in the space was much denser than outside, and the flow of Qi was much smoother.
As he began to circulate his Qi, he could feel his body becoming lighter, as if he was shedding his mortal body and ascending to a higher realm. He could feel his Qi condensing at an incredibly fast rate, and he knew that he was making rapid progress in his cultivation.
The outside world seemed to fade away as he focused on his cultivation. Time passed differently inside the Divine Void Godstone, and he was unsure of how much time had passed. But he knew that he was making a rapid progress.
As he continued to cultivate, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his body. It was as if a floodgate had been opened, and his Qi began to surge forward uncontrollably.
He quickly opened his eyes and looked at his body, and he saw that his Qi had reached the peak of Qi Condensation Stage 4 and was about to break through to Qi Condensation Stage 5.
Fang Min knew that this was a critical moment, and he focused all his attention on breaking through. He closed his eyes again and continued to circulate his Qi, pouring all his energy into the breakthrough.
Finally, with a loud boom, his Qi exploded, and he broke through to the Qi Condensation Stage 5. His body trembled, and his aura increased like crazy.
"14 days have passed, congratulations on your breakthrough. I purposely left your body outside and only let your Soul in, so you don't have to worry about Li Chen finding out. " Lin Xiaowen said with a smile.
Fang Min was surprised to hear that 14 days had passed in the Divine Void Godstone. He quickly checked his cultivation and realized that he had broken through to the fifth level of Qi Condensation!
"Thank you so much, Senior Lin Xiaowen. With your help, I was able to make a breakthrough much faster." Fang Min exclaimed with gratitude.
"It was nothing. The Divine Void Godstone is a precious treasure, but it's useless if it's not used properly. You have a lot of potential, and I believe that you will be able to reach greater heights in your cultivation. But the matter of me being stuck on the Green God Ring, I can temporarily leave, but the consequences are too much and it's not worth it unless you are about to die. "My cultivation technique has a unique feature, It can protect my soul even if my physical body is destroyed. That's why I was able to stay in the Green God Ring all this time. " Lin Xiaowen replied with a smile.
Fang Min bowed respectfully to Lin Xiaowen and expressed his gratitude once again. He didn't want to ask too many questions. Everyone had secrets. He then opened his eyes and found himself back in his physical body.
Feeling energized and refreshed, Fang Min quickly got up from his bed and checked his surroundings. Everything was just as he left it, and there was no sign that 14 days had passed in the outside world. Only 14 hours have passed.
"Fang Min, you are finally awake!" Li Chen exclaimed with relief as Fang Min opened his eyes.
Fang Min groaned as he tried to sit up, feeling a dull ache throughout his body. "Li Chen, what happened?" he asked, pretending to be oblivious.
"Oh Fang Min, the entire Immemorial Dragon Sect trembled, even the elders flew out. Or so did I hear," Li Chen replied, his voice tinged with worry. "But don't worry, we are not injured."
Fang Min furrowed his brows in confusion. "What caused such a commotion?"
Li Chen answered "Honestly, I don't know... The elders are still investigating this matter. I heard from Hua Mei that even one of the elders came to our Purple Division and questioned every disciple."
Li Chen continued "But because there was such a commotion, the higher-ups halved the price of every pill below Foundation Establishment as an apology!"
"Ah, that's good news! We should stock up on pills while they're cheap," Fang Min exclaimed.
"Definitely. We need to focus on our cultivation and make the most of this opportunity," Li Chen agreed.
Fang Min nodded, grateful for the chance to improve his cultivation. As he lay in his bed, he thought about his recent breakthrough and the time he spent inside the Divine Void Godstone. He was amazed at the power of the treasure and grateful to Lin Xiaowen for allowing him to use it.
But he also knew he couldn't rely solely on treasures to advance his cultivation. He needed to put in the hard work and dedication required to truly reach the top. The half-price pills were a great opportunity, but he needed to cultivate diligently every day to make the most of them.
As he got up from his bed, Fang Min felt a renewed sense of determination. He was going to work harder than ever before to reach his goals and become the strongest cultivator in the Immemorial Dragon Sect. Another week passed and the time for the next monthly payment has come.
"Senior Hua Mei, we are here to collect our monthly allowance," Li Chen and Fang Min greeted Hua Mei with a bow.
Hua Mei reached for a bag and tossed it towards them. "Here are 30 Spiritual Stones. Take it," He said in a cold tone.
Fang Min quickly caught the bag and counted the contents to make sure they had received the correct amount. He couldn't help but feel disappointed at the meager allowance. "Thank you, Senior," he said, trying to mask his disappointment. Both of them had 45 Spirit Stones right now.
Hua Mei raised an eyebrow and glanced at Fang Min, seemingly aware of his thoughts. "Don't be too concerned about the monthly stipend. Your cultivation level is still too low to appreciate the value of a Spiritual Stone. What you should focus on is your cultivation and becoming stronger," He advised.
Fang Min and Li Chen nodded in agreement, knowing that Hua Mei was right. They knew that in the world of cultivation, strength was everything. With a deep sense of determination, they left the Purple Division. They went to the Alchemy Hall. The Alchemy Hall was located next to the Purple Division Building, so they quickly arrived.
Fang Min and Li Chen walked towards the building. As they approached, they could see the sign with the words "Alchemy Hall" written in bold letters.
The building was grand and well-maintained, with large windows allowing sunlight to filter into the spacious hall. Inside, they saw rows of shelves stacked with various herbs, roots, and plants. A few alchemists were busy preparing pills and potions.
They approached a counter where an elderly alchemist was seated. "Excuse me, we would like to purchase some pills," Li Chen said.
The alchemist looked up and asked, "What kind of pills are you looking for?"
"We need some pills for cultivating Qi," Fang Min replied.
The alchemist stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before responding, "I have some Qi-boosting pills, but they're a bit pricey. Are you sure you can afford them?"
Fang Min and Li Chen exchanged a glance before nodding in unison. "We'll take them."
The alchemist retrieved a small wooden box from a shelf behind him and opened it. Inside were a dozen small, round pills, each emitting a faint glow. "These are my best Qi-boosting pills," he said.
"How much do they cost?" Li Chen asked.
"25 Spirit Stones per pill," the alchemist replied.
Fang Min and Li Chen exchanged a glance, and Li Chen said, "We'll each take one pill, please."
The alchemist counted out two pills and placed them in a small bag. "Thank you for your business," he said as he handed them the bag.
Fang Min inspected the pills closely, nodding in approval. "Thank you," he said, handing over a small pouch of Spirit Stones. "What kind of other pills do you have?" Fang Min asked.
The alchemist turned around to face Fang Min and Li Chen. "I have a variety of pills here," he said, gesturing to the many shelves filled with different vials and containers. "I have pills for enhancing physical strength, pills for increasing your mental focus, and even pills that can heal injuries quickly."
Fang Min's eyes widened in amazement. He had never seen so many different kinds of pills in one place before. But they only had 20 spirit stones left.
After purchasing the pills, Fang Min and Li Chen left the Alchemy Hall with their newly acquired pills. They returned to the Purple Division and entered closed-door cultivation. Fang Min ate the pill and entered the Divine Void Godstone with his soul again.
