The Immortal Lingxian took out a thousand-grade pill and gave it to him. Her fingertips lightly brushed his lips, and Immortal Lord Luofan felt an intense fragrance, becoming deeply intoxicated and overjoyed.
"Idiot." Immortal Lingxian spat out two words from her cherry lips.
Immortal Lord Luofan was confused. "What?"
Immortal Lingxian retorted impatiently, "I said, idiot! Idiot! You actually dared to humiliate Princess Kunji for me, disregarding all consequences, even offending that fellow Emperor Shu?"
Immortal Lord Luofan shook his head. "No, let alone offending Princess Kunji and Emperor Shu for you, for you, I, Luofan, would not fear offending Emperor Hongxuan."
Immortal Lingxian had never seen such a foolish and stupid person until today. "You deserve to die! I'm leaving."
She paused again. "Get well soon. This immortal promises to fulfill one of your previously made conditions: to spend a day with you on a boat trip."
After Immortal Lingxian left, Immortal Lord Luofan was lost in thought for a long time, savoring the moment. "This is great! I've finally succeeded! Idiot... idiot... Hahaha... Even when she's angry, she's so beautiful."
...
That day, Ming Zhitian continued his chores as usual, following the instructions of his servants and stewards: sweeping the floor, washing the ground, watering flowers, cleaning ponds, and so on.
As he worked, Ming Zhitian asked a servant beside him, "Fellow immortal, I'd like to ask, where can I get spirit stones?"
The servant was first puzzled by Ming Zhitian's address to him, but still replied, "We don't have holidays or wages for working here year-round. But I can secretly tell you that on the back mountain of Immortal Lingxian's mansion, one or two spirit stones are often found. Someone must have dropped them. It's almost every day that we find some. I picked one up today, and I'm already very content. Perhaps it's luck. You can try your luck too, maybe you'll find one."
Ming Zhitian nodded. "Oh... Thanks."
After a day of hard work, Ming Zhitian felt less tired since he had started cultivating and had spiritual power. Under the cover of night, he secretly went to the back mountain.
He used the Candlelight Technique to illuminate his surroundings but found no spirit stones after searching for a while. He figured they must have all been picked up.
After walking a considerable distance and searching again, he confirmed there were none left. Just as he was about to turn back, the Emperor's Eye spotted a glowing spot.
Following the light, Ming Zhitian arrived before a large mountain. He unleashed a palm strike, breaking through a radiant light, and then struck upward to the left and right with another palm!
Rocks fell, revealing a piece of crystalline spirit stone!
It appeared to be a spirit stone vein! Because no one had mined it, it had accumulated over the years, causing the spirit stones to expand and break off into fragments, which were then scattered everywhere by wind and rain, leading to the occasional discovery of one or two.
This was also the reason that servant mentioned occasionally finding a spirit stone.
Without a second word, Ming Zhitian returned to get mining tools. Soon, he was ready, intending to mine this vast spirit stone vein in one go.
Half an hour later...
Several large piles had been mined. The problem was... this celestial realm seemed to have no need for storage bags, so there were none. Divine Emperor realm beings could store items from the void.
Ming Zhitian had not yet reached the Divine Emperor realm, so he had to absorb and refine the piles of spirit stones first.
After continuously absorbing and refining throughout the night, pile after pile of spirit stones turned to dust. Moreover, the celestial realm's spiritual energy was recovering vigorously. Ming Zhitian broke through from the second level of the Dharma Cultivation Pill Realm to the first level of the Transcendent Realm, then to the first level of the King's Field Realm, and finally achieved a breakthrough to the third level of the Dharma Cultivation Asura Realm! His Blood Demon broke through to the eighth level of the Divine Asura Realm!
