Chapter 21: Spiritual Essence Pool

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After helping his daughter wash up and change her clothes, the originally dirty little girl finally had a new look. 

Zhou Ji held his daughter in his arms. As he talked about last night’s incident, he tore off strips of tasteless roasted meat and fed them to his daughter. 

“… That’s why Xiao Rui is so amazing. She actually successfully entered the refinement stage last night.” Zhou Ji praised her while his tone was full of envy. 

What kind of luck was this? His daughter ran around on her own and fell into a pit. He didn’t expect the pit to be filled with rich spiritual essence. His daughter, who was bathing in the rich spiritual essence, immediately entered a meditative state. The cultivation technique she practiced before was also automatically activated, and then she inexplicably entered the Qi Refinement Realm? 

That place shouldn’t be far from here. 

Zhou Ji did not plan to directly go back to the floating shuttle to meet up at this time. He wanted to first find the spiritual essence treasure land that his daughter found last night. There were not many places like this in the wilderness. The small pond formed by the spiritual essence liquid was actually the smallest unit of spiritual essence gathering place. Many people who ran in the wilderness had this place as their ultimate goal. 

Hearing Zhou Ji praise her, Xiao Rui also beamed with joy, she reached out and grabbed the half-baked eagle wing in front of Zhou Ji. “Daddy, as a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, I want to eat by myself. You don’t have to feed me.” 

“Good, Xiao Rui is really amazing!” 

Zhou Ji smiled and agreed. He casually threw the half-eaten bone to Little White who was squatting at the side. This little guy was a great contributor. If it wasn’t for him last night, he wouldn’t have been able to find his daughter in time. 

After casually eating a few large pieces of meat, breakfast was done. It was still early, and his daughter was still fiddling with the remaining large wings. Zhou Ji finally remembered the spoils of war from last night. He took out three storage bags from his bosom. These three storage bags were all six cubic meters in size, there was plenty of space inside. After rummaging around, Zhou Ji obtained nearly five thousand spiritual crystals, some medicinal pills that could heal injuries and restore spiritual essence, as well as more than ten cultivation methods and spells that he had never seen before. 

Among them, what was worth paying attention to was the Body Cultivation Technique, Body Tempering Technique, and the Body Cultivation Foundation Establishment Secret Technique. These three cultivation methods allowed Zhou Ji to understand the cultivation method of Body Cultivation, allowing him to have a certain level of understanding in this aspect. 

Zhou Ji also found a cultivation technique from the storage bag of the great master, “Wind Fist Force”. Half of it recorded pictures of moves similar to those secret martial arts manuals from his previous life, while the other half recorded some ways to circulate spiritual essence. Zhou Ji was prepared to study this thing as well. His current physical fitness had already reached the stage of body cultivation and Foundation Establishment. He could even clash with the great master, who was at the peak of body cultivation and Foundation Establishment. It would be a pity if he didn’t properly develop it. 

The other treasures were the flying needle and the Instrument Control Spell that seemed to go with it. This flying needle was different from ordinary Instrument Control Spell pellets. There were obvious casting traces and lines that even Zhou Ji couldn’t understand. It was said that this Instrument Control Spell was practiced on a large scale in an extremely distant place, and its offensive power was formidable. 

The reason why it was said to be a set of spells was because the beginning of this weapon-controlling spell recorded how to refine a “magic weapon.”. 

Of course, Zhou Ji was not interested in these things. Each cultivator’s specific type of spell was different. For himself, at that time, he had practiced all the seven elemental spells of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder in one go. Only then did he realize that he was suitable for the two elements of Wind and Thunder. As for the Metal-type imperial artifact, that was what made his heart ache the most at that time. 

After Zhou Ji understood this world, he once wanted to become a “Sword Immortal” who used the sword to control the world’s end to kill enemies. However, he settled to use Wind and Thunder. 

Although he couldn’t use it, he could still leave it for his daughter to use. What if his daughter’s talent in Metal-type magic spells was extremely high? 

After casually tidying up, he used clear water to wash his daughter’s face again. Zhou Ji finally carried his daughter and set off. Little White hopped to the side and rushed to the front to wait for the two of them, after a while, he fell behind and sniffed around, raising his leg to leave a mark. Xiao Rui was naturally confused about finding the way, but with Little White around, Zhou Ji wasn’t afraid of not finding the place. 

“Daddy, where are we going?” 

“We’re going to the place where you went last night. It’s a piece of spiritual essence liquid, which is very helpful for cultivation.” 

“Oh…” 

Xiao Rui lowered her head and thought carefully, then she raised her head dejectedly. 

“But Xiao Rui forgot how to get there…” 

“It’s okay, I’ll ask Little White to take us there. It knows the way.” 

Zhou Ji rubbed his daughter’s head, his face full of affection. 

“Oh right, Xiao Rui, you’re already in the Cultivation Realm. Have you thought about what techniques you want to learn? Daddy has a lot of powerful techniques here.” 

“I. . .” 

The young girl fell into a dilemma of choice. 

Zhou Ji did not know if there was some kind of magical treasure in this world that could directly test this person’s affinity to the seven attributes. Therefore, he could only use the old method to teach Xiao Rui the basic techniques of each attribute, letting Xiao Rui experience it for herself. 

Along the way, Zhou Ji explained the contents of the techniques to his daughter word by word, and even personally demonstrated the aspects of wind and thunder. Meanwhile, his daughter listened attentively, carefully feeling the smooth circulation of spiritual essence. 

What surprised Zhou Ji was that this little guy seemed to have a good feeling about all the techniques of the seven elements, and every technique was circulating smoothly in her body. 

Could it be that my daughter is really a genius? 

Zhou Ji suppressed the corner of his mouth that was curled up due to his pride, and then he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. 

Not long after, Little White stopped in front of a large tree with luxuriant foliage. It wagged its tail and waited for Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji sensed it, but he didn’t find anything unusual. However, he noticed that this large tree was abnormally dense. 

Where Little White was standing was a tree root that was exposed. Zhou Ji, who was carrying his daughter, walked over and happened to see a one-meter-wide hole at the root. There were some tree tendrils hanging down to cover it. 

With a thought, a wind blade flew out and cut off the tree tendrils. There seemed to be a wind blowing out of the hole. The wind contained a rich spiritual essence that almost suffocated Zhou Ji. 

This was the place. 

After making sure that there was no danger, Zhou Ji carried his daughter and slid into the cave. Along the way, Zhou Ji’s feet soon touched the ground. This was an underground space, and the sound of water dripping could be heard slightly. With the support of night vision, he could clearly see the situation here. This was a cave that was more than ten meters square. He estimated that he should have come directly below the big tree. The surrounding walls were all thick and strong tree roots. 

In the middle of the cave was a shallow pool of water. It was about three to four meters in diameter and was filled with liquefied spiritual essence. In the middle of the pool, a few roots fell down and took root at the bottom of the pool. 

Little White followed in at this time. It sniffed around curiously. Before Zhou Ji could speak, it stuck out its tongue and licked a few mouthfuls of spiritual essence. Unexpectedly, just a few mouthfuls were enough for Little White to lose its balance beside the pool. It swayed left and right before falling to the side and falling asleep..
