Hundred Chains Star, Cloud Stone City.
"The Thirty-Six Immortal Sects have once again jointly issued a statement: Spiritual energy is a crucial foundation for maintaining the Tianxuan Star System. Illegal mining and absorption of spiritual energy are prohibited. Every wisp of spiritual energy in circulation must be legal and compliant."
"Ensuring that every civilian in the Tianxuan Star System can live in a healthy and stable environment, cultivate legally, and advance legally is the basic principle for every civilian in the Tianxuan Star System."
Tongtianyuan Residential Complex, 198th floor.
A cramped apartment of less than 50 square meters houses four people.
Xu Bai is practicing the sixth form of the "Eighteen Forms of Body Refinement," the Fierce Tiger Crouching, in the small living room.
[I hope readers remember our domain name, Taiwan Novel Network, which has a large library: ƚɯƙαɳ.ƈσɱ.com. It's super complete.]
Xu Bai, prostrate on the ground, adjusts his breathing and blood circulation while listening to the news broadcast by the projected images on the wall.
Having been in this world for sixteen years, watching the news on the projection screen always refreshes his worldview, no matter the time.
"Son, stop practicing. Your dad only has three thousand strands of spiritual energy a month; it's not enough to support your advancement to the Chain Qi stage." Xu Lang, smoking on the balcony, glanced back at his son in the living room, as if seeing his younger, more competitive self.
"You quit smoking! Our family has been tightening our belts for ten years to save up spiritual energy. How can we not let Xiaobai advance to the Chain Qi stage!"
In a corner of the living room, a middle-aged woman in white pajamas stood at the table, holding a talisman brush, calmly inscribing the most basic Qi-purifying talisman.
"Wife, I've even given up the Red Tower cigarettes with three strands of spiritual energy, switching to Lion King Mint with one strand. I still smoke a pack every five days. I can't lose this only hobby of mine."
Xu Lang said pitifully, stubbing out the half-smoked cigarette and carefully putting the remaining half into the cigarette case.
Zhang Wan, who was inscribing the talisman, glanced at Xu Lang and sighed softly.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry about me."
Xu Bai, having finished practicing the sixth form of Body Refinement, stood up and walked to the balcony, where the lingering smell of mint smoke still lingered, looking up at the sky.
In this city, hundreds of stories high-rises stood tall, and residents like them, on middle floors, could only see a sliver of sky through the gaps between the buildings.
The entire sky was controlled by the sixth-generation Lesser Heavenly Dao Array, absorbing any spiritual energy emitted from the planet.
Whenever a blue light flashed in the sky, it meant that a node of the Lesser Heavenly Dao Array had absorbed enough spiritual energy and was transmitting it to the central core.
Another blue light flashed across the sky, drawing away the spiritual energy belonging to this area.
Xu Lang looked at his son's gaze as he looked up at the sky, a hint of reluctance flashing deep in his eyes.
"Son, it's my fault for being useless. You're only of average talent. If you had enough spiritual energy to cultivate, you might have a chance to enter a joint high school founded by a branch of the Hundred Chains Sect." As Xu Lang spoke, he couldn't help but reach for the half-empty pack of cigarettes in his pocket, then put it down as if he remembered something.
"Just the 27th Middle School alone has 108,000 students in the third year of junior high, but less than 2,000 can go to high school."
"I'm not that outstanding, and you can't earn that much spiritual energy, so we're even."
Xu Bai took out the pack of cigarettes he had bought with his own savings from his pocket and quietly handed it to Xu Lang.
Seeing the cigarettes, Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, then quickly snatched them from Xu Bai's hand.
"You brat!"
Just as the father and son were enjoying this heartwarming moment, a young man in ancient robes flew past them on a sword.
The flying sword trailed a brilliant trail of flame in mid-air, like a rainbow, illuminating the dimly lit area amidst the towering buildings.
As the boy in the ancient robe flew past, a whooshing sound came from afar. A group of boys dressed in various ancient robes swept past the father and son, leaving rainbow-like trails of flame between the buildings.
Xu Lang glanced at Xu Bai.
"You've graduated from middle school. What are your plans for the future? Will you come with me to the factory, or go to a vocational school to learn a trade?"
"The money we've saved over the years can barely cover your initial expenses."
"It would be best if you learned talismans. That way, we can save on tutoring fees. Although your mother is an apprentice-level talisman master, her theoretical knowledge has already reached the level of a beginner talisman master." Xu Lang's words carried a hint of pride.
"Let's conserve our spiritual energy. Xiao Jun is still in elementary school. Judging by his intelligence, he should be better than me. Let's use the spiritual energy to nurture him properly."
"I've already signed up for the Hundred Chain Sect's Star Gathering Team. We'll be leaving in three days. It'll be six months of training before we start working, and the monthly salary will be at least five thousand spirit stones
." Xu Bai's gaze was fixed on the dissipating tail flames of the flying sword outside the balcony
. It was said that just activating it required several hundred strands of spiritual energy, and flying through the air once would cost at least several thousand strands. "Star Gathering Team, are you out of your mind!" Xu Lang exclaimed, startling Zhang Wan in the living room.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Wan walked over, still holding a talisman brush in her hand.
"Your son signed up for the Hundred Chains Sect's Star Gathering Team!"
"That's mining outside the Tai Xuan Star System, fraught with danger, and there are hostile alien races watching!" Xu Lang said anxiously.
"There's spiritual energy there to absorb, you can cultivate..."
"I don't want to be an ordinary person for the rest of my life."
Xu Bai's gaze was firm. He had already transmigrated; if he were to remain an ordinary person, wouldn't that be a waste of his time?
Although he had been in this world for sixteen years without any special advantages, and all the spiritual energy was still controlled by the Thirty-Six Immortal Sects, Xu Bai hadn't given up on cultivation.
Near the end of middle school, Xu Bai signed a contract with the Hundred Chains Sect's Star Gathering Team, who were recruiting employees at the school.
Although the area outside the Tai Xuan Star System was dangerous, the spiritual energy was uncontrolled, and some cultivation techniques that could be bought anywhere among humans could be practiced there.
Xu Bai's words silenced the couple. Just then, the door opened, and a ten-year-old child carrying a schoolbag skipped and hopped into the living room.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, are you planning to jump off the building? Take me with you, okay?!"
Before Xu Lang and Zhang Wan could speak, Xu Bai's hand had already slapped Xu Jun's face, the crisp sound echoing on the balcony.
"Wow..." Although Xu Bai hadn't used much force, Xu Jun immediately began his performance, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Stop saying such unlucky things~" Xu Bai returned to the living room and sat on the sofa, watching the news broadcast on the wall.
That night, after the family finished dinner, Zhang Wan sent Xu Jun back to his room.
The couple sat back at the dining table and looked at each other.
"Xiao Bai, we know we can't stop you."
"I was in the same boat back then, and ended up severely injured and unable to cultivate." Xu Lang took out a small bag of spirit stones and handed it to Xu Bai.
"This is ten thousand strands of spiritual energy. Use this time to cultivate in the spiritual energy room and improve your strength. You'll have more confidence when you join the Star Gathering Team."
"When you're out and about, safety is the most important thing."
"I don't ask you to become a noble, I only ask that you come back safely." Zhang Wan grasped Xu Bai's hand, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely come back once I've raised enough money for cultivation."
That night, Xu Bai returned to the room separated by a partition and took out the ten thousand strands of spiritual energy his parents had given him, which was equivalent to ten spirit stones.
"I've finally received spirit stones in my life."
The low-grade spirit stones were the size of dice, each containing a thousand strands of spiritual energy.
Xu Bai held the ten spirit stones in his hands, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
"Under the rule of the Thirty-Six Immortal Sects, without spiritual energy and without any cheat codes, I can only rely on myself to fight for it."
Before he could finish expressing his feelings, Xu Bai's eyes narrowed, and the ten spirit stones transformed into streams of light and merged into his body.
As this spiritual energy gathered in Xu Bai's dantian, a peculiar spiritual light appeared within it.
Sensing this light, Xu Bai felt a surge of indescribable emotion.
"Damn it, why didn't you come sooner!"
"All these years, you have no idea what kind of life I've lived here!"
"At the bottom of society, I didn't even dare eat much meat!" "
To gather enough spiritual energy for my brother and me to advance to the Qi Chain stage, my whole family scrimped and saved for over a decade. I studied like crazy at school, and because of my damned aptitude and stagnant cultivation, I couldn't even get into high school!"
Although Xu Bai's face showed pain, the mountain that had weighed on his heart for sixteen years quietly lessened considerably.
In this world ruled by the ultimate forms of the Thirty-Six Immortal Sects, the chances of the lower classes rising to power were extremely slim.
Moreover, these opportunities were either granted at birth or required a near-death experience, and even then, one had to bow down and serve as a lackey to powerful families to obtain them.
Xu Bai was neither of superior aptitude nor willing to serve as a lackey, so these past years had been extremely oppressive.
Because he understood that even if he risked his life, he would most likely only be able to cultivate to the Qi Chain Realm in this lifetime.
"Adding attributes to all things? Isn't that enchanting?"
"And there are different levels. The lowest level, gray attribute, requires ten thousand strands of spiritual energy."
"Gray, white, green, blue, purple, gold, orange, rainbow—this order of colors seems so familiar?"
"I wonder what attributes my ten thousand strands of spiritual energy will give me."
"I must choose this first item carefully." Xu Bai's gaze fell on the low-level terminal on his wrist, then he shook his head.
"I'll think about it after I join the Star Gathering Team."
Just as Xu Bai was about to go to sleep, Xu Jun's voice came from next door.
"Brother, what are you mumbling over there?"
"Go to sleep!"
Xu Bai said, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Three days later, in the waiting hall of a huge interstellar station.
The family looked at Xu Bai with reluctance.
"Xiao Bai, remember, no matter what, life is the most important thing. You must come back!"
Xu Lang looked at his eldest son with tears in his eyes.
Zhang Wan beside him was already crying.
"Mom and Dad, don't work too hard, wait for me to come back."
At this moment, the announcement in the waiting room sounded.
"Spaceship CU2048 bound for the Hundred Chain Sect Interstellar Station is beginning ticket checking. Passengers with tickets, please proceed to gate 48."
Upon hearing the announcement, the couple hugged Xu Bai tightly.
Reluctant to part, Xu Bai, carrying a large bag, walked towards gate 48, turning back every few steps.
After scanning his terminal, Xu Bai stepped onto the glass walkway in the air. A huge interstellar spaceship docking area covering tens of square kilometers appeared before him.
Looking at the interstellar spaceships through the glass, Xu Bai felt a sense of disconnect.
In the history class of the Thirty-Six Immortal Sects, there was a special explanation for the great explosion of modern technology.
Originally, the area ruled by the Thirty-Six Immortal Sects only had four inhabited planets in the same orbit. The mortal realm was, as Xu Bai had seen in cultivation novels, still in an era similar to a feudal dynasty. Only powerful cultivators could traverse the starry sky and travel between various inhabited planets.
This state continued until the invasion of the Spirit Science Clan.
The Thirty-Six Immortal Sects marveled that such weak individuals could traverse such distant star systems using technology.
The enslaved Spirit Science race also marveled that such a backward civilization could produce so many powerful beings.
It wasn't until the Thirty-Six Immortal Sects came into contact with the myriad races of the cosmos that the enslaved Spirit Science race realized their civilization had gone astray.
Xu Bai's spaceship was an ordinary civilian-class passenger ship, 280 meters long, with a top speed of 0.8 times the speed of light, requiring nearly a month's journey to the Hundred Chains Sect interstellar station.
After walking across the glass walkway and entering the spaceship, Xu Bai found his seat according to his booking information.
A cramped space, barely enough to sit, with no room to stretch his legs. Looking at this cabin, which could accommodate at least a thousand people, Xu Bai inexplicably thought of the best-selling products of the 18th century in his previous life.
A month later, the spaceship arrived outside the borders of the Thirty-Six Immortal Sects' human territory.
The moon-sized interstellar station stood silently in the universe.
The spaceship docked at the spaceport, and Xu Bai followed the flow of people to the Hundred Chains Star Interstellar Station.
Outside the spaceport, there were small spaceships waiting to recruit new members. Thousands of people were crammed into even smaller cabins. The spaceship took off and headed to the training department.
On the massive training ground for new recruits, tens of thousands of newcomers to the Star Gathering Team stood in rows of hundreds.
"Star Gathering Team, last year's new recruit mortality rate was 36%, 49,872 people. Of these, 30% died from spaceship malfunctions, 20% from accidents, 20% from space pirates, and the remaining 30% died from cultivation deviations."
A man exuding a powerful aura stood on the main platform of the training ground. He wasn't using a megaphone, yet his voice clearly reached the ears of tens of thousands of new recruits.
Hearing such a high mortality rate, the lined-up recruits immediately began to whisper among themselves.
"Silence!!"
A massive wave of pressure emanated from the man on the platform.
Instantly, thousands of timid recruits knelt on the ground in fear.
"Those who fall are eliminated. Hundred Chain Sect Star Gathering Team, don't be cowards!"
The personal terminals on the wrists of the fallen recruits lit up red.
Xu Bai looked at the frightened youths beside him, feeling that with such weak mental fortitude, they might as well go home and work in a factory tightening screws.
Thousands of guards expelled the newcomers whose personal terminals were glowing red from the training ground.
"The remaining newcomers shouldn't gloat. Anyone who doesn't reach the Qi Refining stage after six months of training will be eliminated!"
Xu Bai, standing in the group, frowned slightly, vaguely sensing a scheme involved.
"The training department has a spiritual energy cultivation room. If you don't have spiritual energy, don't worry, the Hundred Chains Sect can provide you with low-interest loans, a limit of 100,000 strands of spiritual energy, with an annual interest rate of 15%." "
After six months, you can operate small mining ships, form your own teams, and mine in the Shattered Star Sea."
"You should know that experienced miners in the Shattered Star Sea earn at least 10,000 strands of spiritual energy every month!"
Xu Bai, in the group, looked at the impassioned man, feeling that his words were full of trickery.
"100,000 strands of spiritual energy should be enough for me to reach the Qi Chain stage in half a year with some effort."
"At that time, I'll definitely need to rent a small mining ship, or buy one with a loan."
"Going to the Shattered Star Sea to mine will probably require joining those teams and paying tribute, and they'll definitely take a cut."
"And..."
After being instructed, Xu Bai and the other newcomers were taken to the training ground for intensive testing of the "Eighteen Forms of Body Refinement."
This was the most essential basic body refinement and foundation-building method condensed by the Thirty-Six Immortal Sects after countless revisions.
As long as one cultivates to the ninth form of Body Refinement, one can establish a foundation by absorbing spiritual energy.
Currently, Xu Bai has already cultivated to the sixth form, Fierce Tiger Crouching, and only needs the last three forms to absorb spiritual energy and advance to the Qi Chain stage.
However, cultivating these last three forms requires absorbing spiritual energy and combining it with forging blood and qi. Each of these last three forms requires at least 20,000 strands of spiritual energy.
"First Form: Spirit Ape Supports the Mountain"
Xu Bai circulated his entire body's qi and blood, as if carrying a giant boulder, raising his hands to the sky.
"Second Form: Azure Wolf Treads the Moon"
The posture changed, one foot stepping forward into the air, hands supporting him, back arched, like a giant wolf.
As the instructor called out the fifth form, some trainees could no longer hold on, their bodies swaying precariously.
"If you haven't even mastered the fifth form, get back to your hometown! Entering the factory is your only way out!"
"If you want to do this life-risking business, we'll see if you're qualified!" The instructor's stern voice rang in the trainees' ears.
The few new trainees who were swaying precariously circulated their qi and blood, trying to maintain the stability of the fifth form, the Bear Shaking the Ground.
"Sixth Form: Fierce Tiger Crouchs!"
Instantly, only nineteen of the new trainees in Xu Bai's squad had performed the form; the rest remained standing.
"Not bad, better than the previous batch of new trainees."
The instructor walked around the nineteen trainees, feeling each of their bones.
Xu Bai, in the Fierce Tiger Crouching form, only felt the instructor's hand circling his spine.
"Those of you nineteen who have reached the sixth form can freely practice in the spiritual energy room. You also need to dedicate three hours each day to the virtual training room for individual training on the mining spaceship. Only those who achieve a score of 70 or higher will be allowed to graduate."
"By the way, both the spiritual energy room and the spaceship virtual training room require payment of spiritual energy to use."
"Those without spiritual energy can apply for a loan from the financial sector."
Following the instructor's words, the nineteen finished their sixth form training, stood up, and headed towards the financial sector in the direction indicated by the instructor.
Meanwhile, the other teams, whose trainees had also completed their sixth training session, also began heading towards the financial sector in groups.
"My name is Zhou Qiang, brother, what's your name?" A tall, muscular young man approached Xu Bai, speaking in a familiar tone.
"Xu Bai," Xu Bai replied, his tone slightly distant.
"Brother, my brother is in the Star Gathering Team. He's a veteran there. He's formed a small gang of about a thousand people. They help each other out. Once you join, an elder will guide you, and you can get started very quickly."
Zhou Qiang leaned closer to Xu Bai and whispered, "The Star Gathering Team has over a hundred thousand people, and thousands of gangs and organizations of all sizes. A lone wolf can't survive in the Shattered Star Sea."
"I'm new here and don't know anything, Brother Zhou Qiang, please allow me to take a look first," Xu Bai politely declined.
"Alright, our Iron Ball Gang will only take 20% of the share. Let's add each other as friends first; more friends mean more opportunities," Zhou Qiang nodded, bumped hands with Xu Bai, and added him as a friend on the terminal.
The finance department occupied an entire floor of the training building, processing loans for each new student with extremely professional speed.
"A loan of 100,000 strands of spiritual energy for ten years, with equal principal and interest repayments each year. If you have no objections, please sign," the clerk glanced at Xu Bai and tossed out a contract on a light screen.
Xu Bai scanned the clause on the contract stipulating annual repayments of 25,000 strands of spiritual energy, sighed inwardly, and signed the contract directly, as he had no other choice.
After signing, the 100,000 strands of spiritual energy arrived in his account almost instantly.
The spiritual energy room was a 36-square-meter room, with one wall made entirely of mirrors.
"Although it's a loan, the spiritual energy is still sufficient."
"I'll try to advance to the Qi Chain Realm within five months. Joining the Star Gathering Team earlier will make things easier. I can also choose a better cultivation technique, and I should have about 10,000 points left."
"I wonder how much spiritual energy I'll need to buy the mining spaceship."
Xu Bai said, clapping his hands lightly. A mechanical voice sounded.
"Program activated, starting to replenish spiritual energy~"
A wisp of smoke-like spiritual energy began to replenish the spiritual energy chamber. Xu Bai then practiced the seventh form, Giant Rhinoceros Colliding with Stars, in front of the mirror. After
three hours of practice, Xu Bai absorbed 300 strands of spiritual energy to temper his Qi and blood, ensuring smooth Qi and blood flow in the first movement of the seventh form. Each of the "Eighteen Forms of Body Refinement" has nine movements.
"End of practice."
As soon as Xu Bai said this, the spiritual energy in the chamber was suddenly drained, leaving Xu Bai with a feeling of emptiness.
"Do you need nutrient solution to quickly replenish your Qi and blood after practice? One bottle costs 100 strands of spiritual energy." The mechanical voice sounded.
"No need."
Xu Bai unlocked the spiritual energy chamber and left.
The virtual arcade on the spaceship charged 30 strands of spiritual energy per hour, a price that made Xu Bai chuckle helplessly.
He only got 10 strands of spiritual energy per hour playing games in the virtual arcade, so this price was three times higher, yet essentially the same.
"So be it," he thought, "at least the Star Gathering Team's scam is relatively smaller."
When Xu Bai was in his final year of junior high, he began researching this information. From the vast amount of recruitment information for junior high graduates, he found the one with the smallest potential.
Moreover, every few years, one or two Foundation Establishment stage experts would emerge from the Star Gathering Team.
In the human world, the Foundation Establishment stage was considered a significant leap forward from the bottom.
In the virtual world, Xu Bai stood before an empty spaceport, a small, single-person mining spaceship, about thirty meters long, parked before him.
"Please take your positions, student, and begin the tutorial."
Xu Bai boarded the mining spaceship; the control room could only accommodate two people.
Sitting in the control seat, Xu Bai looked at the densely packed joysticks and control buttons, feeling an irrepressible excitement. Although it was a mining spaceship, it was still a spaceship, capable of flying in space.
"Tutorial Chapter One: Understanding Instrument Buttons, Joysticks..."
"What's before me..."
Time flew by, and five months passed.
During this time, Xu Bai lived a repetitive life, shuttling between the spiritual energy room, the spaceship's virtual control room, and the dormitory/canteen.
The wisp of elemental light in his dantian fueled Xu Bai's daily enthusiasm. He was always the first to arrive and the last to leave the spiritual energy cultivation area.
With such diligent practice, he finally reached the ninth form in the middle of the fifth month. He then used ten thousand strands of spiritual energy to purchase the cultivation technique he had long admired.
"The greatest characteristic of the *Spiritual Energy Technique* is that it has no particular characteristics. It is gentle and balanced, with a moderate amount of spiritual energy stored in the dantian. With each level of cultivation, the dantian expands by three hundred strands of spiritual energy, making it most suitable for those with less than strong aptitude. For those with lower-grade aptitude, it's the top choice without any pitfalls."
"Moreover, the spiritual energy in the dantian of the *Spiritual Energy Technique* is basically compatible with all spells, making it convenient to switch to other cultivation techniques later."
"The *Spiritual Energy Technique* is easy to cultivate; it only takes half a month to advance to the first level of Qi Refining."
For the next half month, Xu Bai resumed his diligent practice, opening all his meridians in the spiritual energy room, advancing to the first level of Qi Refining, and officially becoming a cultivator.
"Now that you've reached the first level of the Qi Chain system and your single-person mining spaceship control score is over 70, it's time to graduate early and get to work."
At the Hundred Chain Sect's interstellar station, in a spaceport specifically for docking mining ships, Xu Bai, having met all the requirements and completed the single-person mining spaceship assessment, was brought here.
"The Hummingbird-class mining spaceship is 32 meters long, 8.5 meters wide, and 6 meters high, with 80-degree light nickel alloy armor, a maximum cargo capacity of 3,000 tons, a top speed of 0.1 times the speed of light, an internal life support system, AI-assisted piloting, laser cutting, titanium alloy ore claws, a primary crusher, a primary smelting furnace…"
"Most importantly, it's also equipped with a spiritual energy engine, allowing it to be powered by its own spiritual energy in critical moments."
Although he was already very familiar with the single-person mining spaceships produced by the Hundred Chain Sect, Xu Bai couldn't help but listen again.
"A newly manufactured Hummingbird-class mining spaceship, costing 1.5 million strands of spiritual energy. A 60-year loan is available at 6% interest, with no repayments for the first ten years, and equal annual principal and interest payments for the next 50 years. If overdue for more than six months, you will be subject to all orders from the Hundred Chain Sect." "
If you think the new spaceship is too expensive, you can rent it for 100,000 spiritual energy per year, or buy a used one for 700,000 to 1,000,000 spiritual energy, no warranty." The salesperson introducing the spaceship smiled slightly. "
I want the new one, and I'll add a twin-barreled machine gun. How much spiritual energy do I need?" Xu Bai didn't think the Shattered Star Sea was just a mining area .
"The basic twin-barreled machine gun costs 50,000 strands of spiritual energy, the medium machine gun 80,000, and the heavy machine gun 120,000." The salesperson's face became even more enthusiastic.
"The heavy machine gun directly." A strange light flashed in Xu Bai's eyes.
"Okay, your heavy machine gun will be installed in one day. Just wait for notification on the terminal."
A contract appeared before Xu Bai, who readily signed his name.
The next day.
Xu Bai returned to the spaceport and saw his personal Hummingbird-class mining spaceship.
Although it was a small spaceship, it was a behemoth in Xu Bai's eyes.
The Hummingbird-class mining spaceship had a dark gray, matte, streamlined shape, measuring 32 meters long, 8.5 meters wide, and 6 meters high. A heavy twin-barreled machine gun was mounted on top, reflecting a cold light under the spaceport's lights.
"If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be comrades-in-arms for the next hundred years!" Xu Bai patted the hatch of the mining spaceship.
The attribute light from his dantian flowed along his hand and covered the surface of the spaceship.
Hummingbird-class Mining Spaceship - Attribute: Agility [Easy to control, speed +20%]
The attribute panel appeared before Xu Bai's eyes. Agility and the explanation following it were composed of gray text.
"This is 10,000 strands of spiritual energy!"
"I wonder if I can add more attributes."
Looking at the attribute, Xu Bai was secretly pleased. He wasn't worried at all about the 1.72 million strands of spiritual energy he owed.
