The white mare turned out to be more difficult than he thought, it immediately went berserk after realizing something had happened to its body. In the end, Qin Tian only managed to get 10 spiritual energy from it.
After that, Qin Tian immediately ran from the hall because when the mare white went berserk, the other horses also panicked.
After exiting the hall, he immediately ran up the stairs before running back to his room.
He only needed 40 more spiritual energy, so he could act more relaxed.
The ship was definitely not an ordinary place, when he returned to his room, he found the spiritual energy in his room was replenished.
Seeing that, he decided to continue cultivating in that room.
He immediately started cultivation and gained 20 more spiritual energies.
<Spiritual Energy: 80> (Note: 100 spiritual energies can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed at which spiritual energy converts to spiritual sources depends on the player's talent.)
"I just need twenty more." He said as he looked at his stats.
He then looked into his spiritual world which was gray in color. And he was immediately shocked when he saw what was in his spiritual world.
Spiritual energy is generally bright white, but the spiritual energy in the spiritual world is actually gray as well.
"Is that also primordial spiritual energy?"
Ding.
He suddenly received a message. It's still a message from Angela.
"Hey, where were you sent? I was sent to Fairy Heaven!"
Qin Tian was a little surprised when he saw Angela's message.
As the name suggests, Fairy Heaven is a heaven that is dominated by fairies. Most of the regions in that heaven were enormous forests. Apart from fairies, this heaven is also inhabited by other forest creatures such as dwarves, goblins, and many more.
It is said that it is the most beautiful heaven.
It's just that they are a little less welcoming to outsiders. The outsiders who come to that heaven can even be killed by them. Qin Tian himself had never gone to that heaven in his past life.
"Are you reincarnated as a fairy?" Qin Tian did not answer right away, on the contrary, he asked first.
"Yes," replied Angela.
"Good then." Qin Tian let out a sigh of relief.
He was worried that if Angela wasn't a fairy, her life there would definitely not be easy.
"I was sent to Nirvana Heaven, so we may not be able to meet for a while." He then answered Angela's first question.
"Humph, this game is really too broad and strange, I don't know how they made it. But have you seen it, the NPCs in this game are really too weird."
"I came along with several other players, one of the male players tried to seduce a female fairy with noble status."
"Do you know what happened after that? This is really absurd, the fairy suddenly got angry and asked the soldiers to catch the male player, and now he is locked in a prison."
"...."
Qin Tian didn't know what to say.
"Well, you'd better be careful that your character doesn't get killed." In the end, he could only say that.
While chatting with Angela, he waited for the spiritual energy in the room to replenish.
He gazed at the sea view beyond the ship and wondered when it would arrive on land. He also did not expect that he would be sent to a ship which limited his space.
"Mm."
He then stared at the bedroom door when he heard footsteps outside.
"Is that Yang Ming?"
Just as he was thinking, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.
After that, a tall and muscular man walked into the room.
"Yang Ming."
Seeing the friend from his reincarnation, Qin Tian didn't know how to act. Yang Ming had treated his reincarnation very well during this time, whenever his reincarnation was bullied, Yang Ming would definitely fight to protect him. And now he's even taking him to find someone who can cure his ailments.
Even though Qin Tian had a lot of life experience, he knew that it was not easy to find a good friend like Yang Ming.
"Yang Ming, why did you come back early?" Qin Tian then asked. He acted like his reincarnation. Because their relationship was so close, his reincarnation was always relaxed when he talked to Yang Ming. According to his reincarnation memories, Yang Ming should have been gone much longer than that.
After entering the room, Yang Ming walked over to him. He smiled slightly before speaking. "I have good news, the disease in your body may be cured."
"Oh?" Qin Tian was a little surprised even though he didn't need that anymore.
"Is there an expert who can cure me?" Qin Tian asked.
"No," Yang Ming shook his head.
He then approached Qin Tian. He took several breaths before speaking to explain.
"Someone just offered a spiritual dragon fruit to do something. Spiritual dragon fruit can help the ninth layer of Spiritual Apprentice break through to the Spiritual Warrior realm without the slightest side effect. As long as you consume it, there is a 70% chance of your illness being cured."
"Are you?"
"Yes, I plan to accept that person's request." Yang Ming nodded.
"What request is that person asking?" Qin Tian asked. He started staring at Yang Ming with suspicious eyes.
He naturally knew what spiritual dragon fruit was. To people who are still in the realm of Spiritual Apprentice, it is definitely one of the most valuable treasures. How could someone offer it as a gift for something trivial.
Doubt flashed across Yang Ming's face when he heard Qin Tian's question. He looked like he wanted to speak but he couldn't open his mouth.
"Sigh." Qin Tian sighed. He then patted Yang Ming's muscular shoulder. "Brother Yang, I'm fine. Don't do something that will risk your life only for me."
"They said I would be fine. At most I would just get hurt." Yang Ming was finally able to answer.
"Can you tell what task they asked for?"
"Mmm. They asked me to be fishing bait to catch wolf fish."
'....' Qin Tian
He didn't know how to react after he heard Yang Ming's answer.
"Brother Yang." He then pretended to be angry. "I know that you're not very smart, but you can't be a fool. You know, the world of cultivation requires not only strength but also a mind."
"Do you know what wolf fish are? They are fish that like to eat human flesh. Do you really believe what they say?"
"But you? This may be your only chance to cure your illness."
"Stop," Qin Tian raised his hand to stop Yang Ming from continuing to speak.
"You?" Yang Ming looked surprised by Qin Tian's attitude.
Qin Tian ignored Yang Ming's surprise. He then stood up and looked towards the ocean.
He took a deep breath before speaking. "Brother Yang, my illness may no longer exist."
Qin Tian is not a cold-hearted person who would abandon a friend who helped him a lot even though it was only a friend from his reincarnation.
He originally wanted to continue pretending he still had a disease, but seeing Yang Ming's attitude of being ready to do something dangerous so that his disease could be cured, he knew he couldn't keep quiet and pretend.
Fortunately he was the one who had reincarnated to Qin Tian in this world, if it was another player, they might not mind taking advantage of an NPC for their own benefit.
Behind Qin Tian, Yang Ming was immediately stunned when he heard Qin Tian's words. He might not believe what Qin Tian said, but Qin Tian's attitude as he spoke made Yang Ming wonder if he was still the young man he knew.
"Don't you believe what I'm saying?" Qin Tian stared at Yang Ming's expression.
"What happened to me may not be a disease, but something good that I didn't understand before. And I started to understand a moment ago." Of course, he was only making excuses to trick Yang Ming.
"But." Yang Ming opened his mouth but he was immediately stunned when he saw the action Qin Tian was taking.
Qin Tian suddenly turned towards him and sent his fist towards his face.
Yang Ming who was already in the third layer of Spiritual Apprentice naturally didn't feel threatened at Qin Tian's sudden attack. In his eyes, Qin Tian's movements were still very slow. However, when he saw Qin Tian's movements, he realized that Qin Tian was not like a sick person anymore.
Bam...
Qin Tian's fist finally hit his face.
Even though it was still far from injuring him, he still felt a little bit of pain when he was hit by Qin Tian's fist.
"Do you feel it, my body is not weak anymore like before."
"You don't understand what happened to my body, but if you don't try harder, maybe from tomorrow our position will change."
"You may no longer be able to protect me and there is a possibility that you will be protected by me." Qin Tian said with a confident smile.
"I, i, i..." Yang Ming finally could not help but stuttered. Obviously he was still in shock at Qin Tian's change of attitude.
"Go! I know you left early for me. It wouldn't be good if you left the meeting held by your sect envoy." Qin Tian then patted his shoulder.
Qin Tian was starting to worry if the atmosphere would become even more dramatic as he saw Yang Ming's eyes have started to turn red. He looked like he was going to cry.
Even though Qin Tian valued friendship, he didn't want to calm a man who was crying.
...
After Yang Ming left, Qin Tian immediately sat down on the bed.
The spiritual energy in the room had already recovered before Yang Ming came. Now he only needed to cultivate there once more and he could become a Spiritual Apprentice.
"Dragon spiritual fruit, eh. I hope you will keep the fruit until I finish cultivating."
He may have appreciated those who were nice to him, but he was never a saint. Just like other cultivators, he too could behave beyond morality when it came to things that would increase his strength.
He then closed his eyes and began to absorb the spiritual energy around him into his body.
It only took twenty seconds before he opened his eyes again.
<Spiritual Energy: 100> (Note: 100 spiritual energy can be converted into 1 spiritual source. The speed of converting spiritual energy to spiritual source depends on the player's talent.)
"Good, now I want to see how quickly the Primordial God Body converts 100 spiritual energies into a spiritual source."
Compared to absorbing spiritual energy, turning them into spiritual source was even more difficult.
"Legend has it that the Primordial God Body can instantly convert all the spiritual energy in the body into spiritual sources, I want to see if that is true."
Qin Tian actually didn't believe in the legend because it was completely beyond reason. Even the best Heavenly Body needs at least a few minutes to convert 100 spiritual energies into 1 spiritual source, but the legend of the Primordial God Body says that it can instantly convert all spiritual energy into spiritual sources. It wasn't just a hundred but all the spiritual energy in the body. Obviously there is a big difference between the two.
Qin Tian then closed his eyes, his consciousness entering his spiritual world.
Right now all of his spiritual energy was gathering in his spiritual world, and he then moved them to combine them all.
Qin Tian was still thinking about the legend of the Primordial God Body while he was doing that, but suddenly his eyes widened as he saw how the spiritual energy within his spiritual world was moving.
One of the things that makes it difficult to convert spiritual energy into a spiritual source is because when two spiritual energies are combined, there will be resistance from each of them. When trying to combine a hundred spiritual energies, their resistance was naturally much stronger. It will be the same for anyone regardless of whether they have heavenly bodies.
But at this time, Qin Tian found the spiritual energy within his spiritual world like a hundred splashes of water that fell on the same container. There was no resistance from them when they met, they immediately joined together like streams of water that had just met.
After they merged, they condensed immediately and that too was happening very quickly.
When Qin Tian looked at them one more time, the result of their fusion had already transformed into something that looked like a diamond, and it was also gray in color.
