Their faces didn’t look very good.
At this mont, thinking that Chu Ning was finding it difficult to accept the recent news, there was a slight sigh.
Then, reaching out to pat Chu Ning, he said:
"Don’t think too much about it, since you’re here, you might as well settle in. I think, Junior Brother, with so luck, you and I might gain so Spirit Charm here."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning smiled at Zhuang Yunde.
"Senior Brother is right; we should maintain an optimistic outlook."
On Zhuang Yunde’s round face, a smile also appeared.
"Exactly, you might have been forcibly conscripted by the Sect, but I ca voluntarily at the ti.
Even though I’m not clear on the specifics, I was prepared to face risks; this path was chosen by myself."
Chu Ning nodded, rembering how Zhuang Yunde did say at the ti that he had the opportunity to refuse but still chose to participate.
However, like him, Zhuang Yunde practiced a Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique, and even if he had not participated last ti,
he would definitely have been forcibly conscripted by the Sect this ti.
"Junior Brother Chu, since you’ve just arrived, they surely won’t let you drive the array so easily; they would let you adapt for a while.
Moreover, the Spirit Charm just erupted over three months ago, so there shouldn’t be another eruption for a long period afterward.
You should focus on your cultivation here. The Spiritual Qi is abundant and there’s no danger. In terms of cultivation, this is a great place."
Saying this, Zhuang Yunde smiled again and said:
"Additionally, the Senior Brothers who ca earlier set up Spirit Fields not far away for living purposes.
We can plant so Spirit Rice and won’t have to worry about hunger.
Plus, the Spirit Beast Room houses Spirit Chickens and Spirit Pigs, bred by other brothers in more distant areas.
If it weren’t for the potential dangers of driving the array, the cultivation environnt here would be even better than that of the Sect.
Additionally, for us from the Spirit Plant Room, we have certain advantages. The Elixirs and Magical Artifacts cannot be refined here."
At this mont, Zhuang Yunde said a few unexpected words to Chu Ning.
He had only noticed these huts earlier and hadn’t paid attention to these things.
Yet thinking about it, it made sense since everyone hadn’t been staying here just for a day or two.
Moreover, they were all Qi Refining stage disciples, unable to fast and definitely couldn’t have that many Grain Avoidance Pills on them.
Yet Chu Ning, back with Gu Xiaoqing, had bought many Grain Avoidance Pills.
These should sustain for quite so ti.
After chatting for a while longer, Zhuang Yunde took his leave and turned to another place.
It’s unclear whether he went to see others or went to pick up more disciples.
After Zhuang Yunde left, Chu Ning continued to build up his clay and straw hut.
In half a day’s ti, Chu Ning completed the construction of the house.
Then, he began setting up beds and other furnishings.
Coincidentally, in his new courtyard in the Outer Sect, Chu Ning had only a bare bed, without any other items.
Later, Chu Ning had specifically bought so room essentials at the Market and stored them in his Storage Bag intending to bring them back to the Sect eventually.
However, the Sect’s conscription was so abrupt this ti that even though Chu Ning stayed at his courtyard for a few hours, he hadn’t taken these items out.
Now, they ca in handy.
After sowhat arranging the setup, the straw hut was finally taking shape.
Sitting in his house, Chu Ning started to organize the pieces of news he had received and pondered his current circumstances.
Cultivation might face certain setbacks.
Without the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill, although he had brought nurous Spiritual Essence Pills and Grain Avoidance Pills, taking one every day would only last a few months.
If necessary, he would have to rely on Spirit Stones, yet he was unsure how long he would remain within the Spirit Realm.
For the Body Refinent spiritual dicines and Spirit Fruits, he currently only had the most recent harvest of Golden Orchid Fruit, with about two hundred pieces remaining.
As for the Refining Spirit Technique, it could only be improved by consuming Divine Sense through Talisman Making.
But there likely wasn’t anywhere to trade these Talismans here.
Everyone was focused on operating the arrays in the Spirit Realm, making the use of Talismans impractical.
Furthermore, it was uncertain how this array operation would be arranged and whether ti could be assured.
As for departing, there seed to be only two possibilities.
To obtain Spirit Seeds, or wait until the Spirit Charm erupts to absorb a wisp of Spirit Charm.
Recalling Zhuang Yunde’s words about Spirit Charm erupting every three to five years, and with one just having occurred three months prior, Chu Ning’s brows slightly furrowed.
Could it be true that he’d have to stay here for three to five years? That would be too long.
Not to ntion, at his current cultivation pace, reaching the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining wouldn’t take too long.
And if he achieved Qi Refining Perfection, reaching the breakthrough level, it should take less than a year.
At that point, the next phase of cultivation would be a major issue; he couldn’t possibly stay stagnant at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.
At this point, Chu Ning could only cling to hope.
The sudden and atypical intake of nurous Wood Attribute Cultivation disciples by the Sect indicated a larger plan, potentially preventing long-term stasis for everyone involved.
After going through these matters in his mind, roughly organizing them,
Chu Ning stepped out of his house, casually wandering and observing the newly built housing area.
In fact, many were doing the sa, hoping to spot familiar faces.
As he wandered, Chu Ning indeed spotted many acquaintances like Mu Ling; her house was already built, with a quite forward number.
It seed she hadn’t delayed at all on her way here.
Chu Ning also noticed the sowhat notable faces he’d seen at the training ground, with several Qi Refining Perfection cultivators all present.
After a bit more wandering, Chu Ning eventually encountered Tan Zhang and Lin Lan.
Their housing numbers were in the seven hundreds, indicating they arrived earlier than Chu Ning.
Familiar with Tan Zhang, Chu Ning greeted him, then casually walked ahead a little more before turning back.
Upon returning, Chu Ning saw Tan Zhang and Lin Lan strolling around.
Their path, toward the later numbers, indicated they were searching for soone.
Chu Ning vaguely guessed they might be looking for him.
However, Chu Ning naturally refrained from addressing this directly.
Two more days passed, marking exactly one month since Chu Ning and others had entered the Spirit Realm.
That morning, after getting up, Chu Ning sensed sothing and pulled out his Guiding Needle.
Sure enough, the needle showed no indication, as if before entering the Spirit Realm.
It was clear the Elder wasn’t lying when saying the guidance would disappear if not reaching the Array Formation Land within a month.
While contemplating this, soone ca to inform all the new entries to the Spirit Realm to gather.
