How did an ordinary Spirit farr rise to prominence in Serenity Peak?
Aksai's mortal wealth, amassed during his tenure as a Spirit farr in his original world, remained largely untapped until now.
He still had the ingots of gold and silver given to him by his poor Spirit farr father.
With the ability to procure even more mortal currency from his ho world by trading cultivation resources with Spirit cultivators, Aksai found himself with a substantial fortune at his disposal.
Within the realm of Spirit cultivation, mortal money held little sway.
Spirit stones were considered as the preferred currency for transactions among Spirit cultivators. Those who engaged in dealings with Aksai using mortal currency considered themselves fortunate, albeit privately regarding him as naive.
However, Aksai didn't care. He was rely offering them the waste products from Everwood farm anyway. He was basically earning gold and silver for the trash he generated inside the isolated domain.
Due to the regional turmoil, Aksai made only two occasional visits to his ho world in the past six months, primarily to exchange cultivation resources for mortal wealth before promptly departing. He didn't even stay long enough to know about the conflicts happening all over the five-kingdoms subcontinent.
Aksai got mini mountains of gold and silver for a bunch of Spirit cultivation resources. He then brought all that mortal wealth to the second world he had unlocked for himself.
By leveraging his connections with Spirit cultivators in his ho realm, Aksai swiftly ascended to prominence in Martial World Sharang, becoming one of Serenity Peak's wealthiest young masters practically overnight.
Upon settling in Serenity Peak, Aksai indulged in extravagant spending, acquiring various unique resources that captured the attention of the city's martial elders.
Fortunately, Sharang posed no significant threats to Aksai. Even the city's martial elders paled in comparison to Spirit Refiners of the 7th or 8th stage. Plus, the martial artists couldn't do many things that the Spirit cultivators could do using their mysterious Spirit spells.
As such those who tried to rob Aksai for his wealth ended up becoming the "guinea pigs" for his Spirit bloodline experints.

Aksai's individual power as a Spirit cultivator wasn't the only reason behind his confidence to act however he wanted in Sharang.
Unlike the Dadangar Cultivation World, Aksai faced no real threat in the second world. The Martial Arists didn't have Spirit Sense. Plus, there was no existence of detection-type Array Formations. As such. Aksai possessed the ability to vanish from Sharang at will without letting anyone know, rendering himself virtually untouchable.
As for how he could use the sa teleportation ability in the second world? It was easy to understand.
Aksai's natal treasure was a lot more useful than he had initially given it credit for. Spirit farming land in the isolated twilight domain was only its most basic function.
Upon entering Martial World Sharang, Aksai discovered a new function of his natal treasure, the Myriad Worlds Painting.
After using the barrier-bypass talisman on the fog-like barrier to enter Martial World Sharang, Aksai had unlocked a feature akin to "location save points" within the painting.
The first saved location point remained fixed at the Everwood farm, serving as a permanent anchor within the Myriad Worlds Painting.
The second saved location point resided in the Dadangar five-kingdoms subcontinent, situated at a secluded place outside Purple River Gate city.
Lastly, the third saved location point marked his current abode in Martial World Sharang – Everwood Palace in Serenity Peak City.
Aksai could seamlessly use the Everwood farm as a transit point to teleport between the two worlds, eliminating the need for his barrier-bypass talisman to return.
Remarkably, there was no ti dilation observed between the two worlds. This ant that ti spent in Sharang held equal value to that in Dadangar. Four days in Dadangar equated to four days in Sharang.
However, it was worth noting that Dadangar and Sharang operated on completely opposite day and night cycles. Whenever it was dayti in Sharang, it would be nightti in Dadangar, and vice versa.

Everwood Palace. Serenity Peak City. Kowaal kingdom. Martial World Sharang.
Aksai's not-so-humble abode stood as a testant to his wealth in Martial World Sharang.
This spacious white palace radiated a sophisticated aura. With its luxurious yet elegant architecture, it drew the attention of passersby and ignited curiosity among the city's inhabitants.
Within the palace walls, lush gardens blood with vibrant flowers and exotic plants. Ornate corridors led to spacious chambers that featured elegant furnishings.
From the grand halls where lavish banquets could be held to the serene courtyards where monts of quiet reflection could be savored, Everwood Palace was a stark contrast to Aksai's dilapidated farmhouse in Lakir estate.
While the cultivators in the Wuyum and Ragui counties were living a life of misery, there was one particular fellow among them who was having the best ti of his life.
Aksai still practiced his Stellar Greenwood Tantra as well as the Qi Fusion Arts. but when he wasn't doing his routines, he was busy taking things easy. Thanks to the servants he had hired, he could save a lot of ti for himself anyway. How else was he supposed to use the saved ti if not for so entertainnt?
Surrounded by an entourage of loyal servants, Aksai's days were filled with lavish feasts, captivating entertainnt, and ticulous care for his "every" need.
His maids, dressed in silken robes and adorned with jewels, catered to his every whim, serving him an array of delectable dishes fit for a prince. From succulent ats and exotic fruits to delicately crafted desserts, Aksai savored each mouthful as he lounged in the comfort of his palace chambers. At night tis, he "savored" the maids themselves, finally becoming an experienced man in all aspects.
Almost every evening, the halls of Everwood Palace would co alive with music and dance, as Aksai's maids perford graceful routines and lodious songs to entertain their master.
srized by their skill and beauty, Aksai would watch with delight.
A team of diligent servants tended to the affairs of the palace, ensuring that every corner was kept immaculate. From polishing silverware to tending to the lush gardens, they worked tirelessly to maintain the splendor of Everwood Palace.
In the backyard, mortal farrs toiled under the sun, working in shifts to tend to Aksai's farmlands within the palace walls. With skilled hands and unwavering dedication, they nurtured the Spirit crops that they could only describe as mysterious.
Aksai had provided all the instructions to the mortal farrs regarding so of his Spirit plants that needed marginal care. He would let them take care of the hard work while he cast so Spirit spells from ti to ti when nobody was around to keep the quality of the Spirit plants intact.
Outside the palace gates, capable martial artists stood guard, their watchful eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of danger. Ard and vigilant, they protected Everwood Palace from all directions, ensuring the safety and security of their master and his domain.
From a humble Spirit farr struggling to make ends et, to a wealthy and influential figure in the bustling city of Serenity Peak, Aksai's journey had been nothing short of remarkable.

Although Aksai had spent lavishly since becoming a permanent resident of Serenity Peak, he had yet to make any significant moves.
He decided to wait a few months before progressing with his experints on his Spirit bloodline. Additionally, he sought to acquire powerful martial arts for himself.
Aksai was a very careful man even though Martial World Sharang was not particularly challenging for a Spirit cultivator like him. He always made a point not to underestimate his potential opponents.
Once confident in his establishnt within Serenity Peak, Aksai finally decided to proceed with his plans.
On this particular day, while Aksai was goofing around with a group of maids in the courtyard, his head maid, Zinnia Jolen, approached him with a respectful salute before speaking in a careful tone.
"Young Master Aksai, I have brought several martial artist masters who are willing to teach you the core martial arts of their respective schools for the right price," she said, her gaze intent.
Upon hearing Zinnia's words, Aksai's jovial deanor shifted abruptly to seriousness. It was as if he had transford into a different person in an instant.
"I see. Excellent work, Zini dear," he said with a nod of approval to Zinnia.
"Let them in," he instructed the martial artist guards standing behind her, their heads lowered in submission.
