152: Immortal seedlings

"Alright, but you cannot wander around. The surroundings of the Spirit Pool World are very dangerous."

"Of course," Zheng Yi said. "I'm just strolling around the forest nearby, not going outside."

"Very well."

After bidding farewell to Wang Momo, Zheng Yi walked into the forest within the Spirit Pool World.

Having been in this world for ten years, he had been constantly Cultivating.

Although his Physical Body could endure it, how could an adult's spirit withstand such dry and boring Cultivation for so long?

Even though over the past ten years he had been in a daze, as if a layer of gauze had been placed over his spirit.

Through the vicissitudes of life and the passage of time, he actually did not have much realization, and thus passed it by silently.

The scenery of this Spirit Pool World was indeed pleasant, and from time to time, many wild grasses and fruits that he did not recognize grew there, looking very vibrant, but he did not dare to casually pick and eat them.

And what was strange was... why was there mist everywhere here?

In the forest, by the lakes, and even around the houses inside the Spirit Pool World, thick mists permeated, making it impossible for people to see the surrounding environment clearly at all.

After walking for a while, he looked back and found a few figures following him from afar.

It was Wang Momo.

It seemed that Wang Momo and the others were worried about his safety, which was why they followed him.

However, they weren't close, just hanging back far away.

Zheng Yi didn't mind it and continued to wander around to relax his mood.

He played in the forest for half a day, and then he found... he was lost!

Lost?!

Zheng Yi was in a trance, as if recalling that ten years ago when he entered this world, he accidentally absorbed that streak of white mist from the pile of clouds and mist.

A poor sense of direction?

The fate of a person with a poor sense of direction?

Took effect at this time?

"Huh? What is this thing?"

Right before Zheng Yi's eyes, a huge, dense fog suddenly appeared.

Looking up, it was at least a hundred meters away.

It was thicker than the dense fog inside the Spirit Pool World, and had a larger area.

He walked into the fog, where you literally couldn't see your fingers in front of your face.

"What a ghost place!"

"Could this be the boundary of the Spirit Pool World?"

With a flash of thought, Zheng Yi quickly retreated backwards.

He didn't want to waste the hard-earned Cultivation opportunity. The Spirit Pool World, this was a place to nurture Human Race Cultivators, and also the place with the most abundant Spiritual Qi in this world.

When he turned around, he found that the path he came by had disappeared!

"The fate of a person with a poor sense of direction?"

Zheng Yi smiled bitterly.

For the past ten years, he had lived within the Spirit Pool World.

Surrounded by peers or the other few nannies.

Wherever he went, someone accompanied him, so of course it was impossible for him to get lost.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the others, he got lost.

And it was in the fog deep within the forest. Although Wang Momo and the others were following him, he didn't know if they could keep up.

"What's done is done; since the people of the Spirit Pool World find out I'm missing, they will definitely come looking for me."

"Besides, Wang Momo is following closely behind, I won't get lost."

Zheng Yi shrugged and started wandering around aimlessly in the fog.

"Huh? What is that?"

In the distant fog, a huge dark shadow suddenly appeared.

Looking up, it was at least a hundred meters tall.

"City wall? Boundary? Or some kind of cliff?"

Just as he was about to step forward to check, his right hand was grabbed by someone!

"Zheng Yi!"

"Why did you run here?!"

"Hurry back with me!"

It was Wang Momo!

However, at this moment, Wang Momo's eyes were full of terror, and the corners of her mouth began to tremble.

She grabbed Zheng Yi tightly, not daring to move another step.

Her fingers exerted so much force that they almost pinched into Zheng Yi's Physical Body.

Beside her, there were two other nannies.

"Wang Momo, you're pinching me so hard it hurts."

Zheng Yi said helplessly: "Wang Momo, I got lost and simply don't know how to walk back."

"Good, good, good..."

Wang Momo said nervously: "It's good that you're lost, as long as you didn't come here on purpose."

"You shouldn't run around to a place like this. Hurry back with me..."

"Wang Momo, what kind of place is this? Why can't we go in?"

Zheng Yi asked strangely, looking into the distance again.

That dark shadow, which looked like a city wall or a cliff, stood there continuously, as if it had existed since ancient times.

In a trance, Zheng Yi seemed to see a figure slowly moving towards this side.

Someone?

Or... was his vision playing tricks on him?

"Zheng Yi, don't look around!"

Wang Momo grabbed Zheng Yi and turned his body around.

She swallowed hard and said: "Alright, Wang Momo will tell you, that place is the Forbidden Ground of the Spirit Pool World, a place strictly forbidden to enter by Immortal Sects and Holy Lands."

"I heard that inside there are Demons and Devils captured from the outside by Immortal Sects and Holy Lands, and suppressed here."

"As the Holy Land of the Human Race, the Spirit Pool World has the most abundant Spiritual Qi, which can just restrain the Demonic Qi and Devilish Qi of the Demons and Devils, do you understand?"

Wang Momo said: "You are still a child now, going to such a place will easily be affected by Demonic Qi and Devilish Qi, turning into a crazy monster that only knows how to kill. Obediently come back with Wang Momo and stay inside the Spirit Pool World."

"So that's how it is," Zheng Yi shrugged and said: "Alright then, Wang Momo, lead the way, I'm really afraid I'll get lost again."

"Good, good, good~"

Wang Momo led Zheng Yi and turned around to walk toward the Spirit Pool World at a very fast pace.

In the direction Zheng Yi couldn't see, the other two nannies subconsciously knelt on the ground, prostrating on all fours, trembling all over as they explained something.

" 𫐗 clever Misty lion locust 羝 ， 梻 cockroach rainbow agglomerate 瑡 hog Wu ！"

The two nannies hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, their foreheads bleeding, looking very miserable.

Soon.

The huge dark shadow in the distance disappeared, and these two nannies from Grade B No. 7 hurried back to the Spirit Pool World.

Because Zheng Yi got lost, they almost couldn't find him.

Some commotion occurred within the entire Grade B No. 7 Spirit Pool World. Many children who just made minor mistakes were criticized by the nannies, crying a few of them.

However, upon seeing the stern gazes of the three nannies, they didn't dare to speak again and obediently stayed inside the Spirit Pool World.

In the following days, Zheng Yi was strictly supervised by Wang Momo and stayed in the quiet room to Cultivate the Spirit Eating Art.

He didn't care much either.

Thinking that after turning twelve, upon entering an Immortal Sect or Holy Land, he would start another exciting life.

The Spirit Eating Art was just the most basic Cultivation Technique, only recording the method to convert Spiritual Qi into Dharmic power. There was no record at all regarding Spells, Divine Thought, or a series of contents on the hundred arts of cultivation.

It was as if the Spirit Eating Art was specially prepared for them, just to build a solid foundation.

In Zheng Yi's view, this was completely normal.

Children under twelve didn't understand anything at all. What if an accident happened once they mastered powerful Spells?

The current situation was best: gathering the children together, accumulating Dharmic power, and sending them out of the Spirit Pool World once they were sensible, to be taken away by people from other Immortal Sects and Holy Lands to learn other Spells and the hundred arts of cultivation.

It was just like... nine-year compulsory education?

Therefore.

In the days that followed, Zheng Yi Cultivated even harder.

But for some reason...

The trance-like Zheng Yi always felt something was wrong, but it was quickly replaced by confusion.

He watched 'himself' with his own eyes Cultivating diligently in the Spirit Pool World.

Eleven years old.

Zheng Yi Cultivated the Spirit Eating Art, advancing two stages in a row, breaking through to the Late Stage!

Twelve years old, the Spirit Eating Art broke through to the seventh level!

Not only that, he also became very familiar with the prettiest girls in the Spirit Pool World.

Guoruo, Xiaocao, Shuer, and the like all regarded him as their most important partner.

They even often slept together.

But unfortunately, Wang Momo watched very closely and absolutely forbade Zheng Yi from doing anything out of line.

With no other choice, he could only seize the time to Cultivate, imagining that after breaking through the tenth layer of Qi Refining, he would have an in-depth communication with the little girls.

After he broke through to the seventh level, all three nannies of the Grade B No. 7 Spirit Pool World arrived to celebrate for him!

Even.

Many other people appeared.

They all looked like young people, both male and female, as if they had suddenly appeared here.

They all stared at him intently, their eyes very excited, and praised him endlessly.

"Twelve years old in the Qi Refining Late Stage..."

"Almost an Immortal Seed..."

"I wonder whose hands it will fall into?"

According to what Wang Momo said, these people were all from outside Immortal Sects and Holy Lands.

Hearing that an Immortal Seed comparable to a Grade A Spirit Pool World had appeared in the Grade B No. 7 Spirit Pool World, they all came to watch.

In the end.

After competition among more than a dozen figures, only the final figure remained.

It was a young girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

With exquisite facial features and pitch-black pupils, she looked at Zheng Yi with great satisfaction.

"My name is Liu Linger," she said. "From now on, you are my person!"

"As soon as your twelfth birthday arrives, I will take you away from here!"

After saying this, Liu Linger left, surrounded by several guards.

Zheng Yi found it a bit strange.

Why did Liu Linger say he was her person instead of belonging to a certain Immortal Sect or Holy Land?

However, he didn't care much.

Perhaps.

This Liu Linger was a descendant of some big figure in the Immortal Sect or Holy Land, naturally rebellious and proud.

Doing some out-of-line things was quite normal.

Wang Momo also taught him: "Yi'er, these are all big figures, you must never offend them."

"Your future destination is decided by them!"

Zheng Yi expressed understanding, but felt even more curious about these people.

And he fantasized whether one day, he would also become a member of this group of people?

After Liu Linger left, Zheng Yi continued to Cultivate in the Spirit Pool World.

Thinking of breaking through to the ninth level of the Spirit Eating Art before his twelfth birthday!

According to what Wang Momo said.

Before the age of twelve, reaching the ninth level of the Spirit Eating Art had a huge probability of becoming an Immortal Seed.

And the tenth level would 100% become an Immortal Seed!

Unfortunately.

In the last days, no matter how hard Zheng Yi tried, he could not break through to the ninth level.

Between the seventh level and the ninth level, there seemed to be a Bottleneck blocking him tightly.

Finally.

On the day of his twelfth birthday, he was surrounded by several guards, put into a carriage, and left the Spirit Pool World.

Leaving at the same time were more than a dozen children.

Accompanying Zheng Yi, they headed together to the Immortal Sect where Liu Linger resided.

This was Zheng Yi's first time leaving the Spirit Pool World, wanting to see the scenery of the outside world, but he found that the carriage was sealed all around and could not be opened, obviously with a Restriction in place.

"I'm still only at the seventh level of Qi Refining now, I wonder if the Immortal Sect behind Liu Linger will despise me?"

Less than an hour passed, and the carriage stopped.

"We've arrived so fast?"

Zheng Yi was full of doubts. When the carriage door opened, he found himself in a palace.

Looking back, dense fog was far away, obviously the direction of the Spirit Pool World.

"So close? Could this be an imperial palace or branch palace of some Immortal Sect?"

Soon.

He saw Liu Linger.

Still with the appearance of a little girl carved out of pink and jade.

She smiled excitedly and said: "Father King once said that Human Race children at the age of twelve are born immaculate, and their physical bodies and divine souls are nourished by Spiritual Qi, making them the most tender and delicious."

"I must taste them carefully!"

Before Zheng Yi could react, he saw Liu Linger suddenly open her bloody mouth and bite off half of his body in one gulp!

In a trance, he also heard Liu Linger's crisp voice.

"Mhm, it really is delicious, and this is my first time eating a human..."
