Spirit Stone Exhaustion

As Ying'er left normally, Xiao Feng once again sat cross-legged on the bed, Spirit Energy circulating throughout his body.

The Hall of Supreme Bliss is not a place for him to retire; if he cannot improve his strength quickly, he might never leave this place in his lifetime.

As for Jing Shen, he needs to use Ru Xing's identity and will never be able to be himself again.

Some things can only be relied on oneself; relying on others is completely ineffective.

Just as he placed his hands on his knees, he heard a knocking sound at the door.

Xiao Feng looked at the door with a frustrated expression, feeling somewhat annoyed: "Not finished yet? Coming to me repeatedly, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

He stood up smoothly, the Spirit Energy in his body exerted to its limit.

Forming a claw with one hand, he used Spirit Energy to pull the door open from a distance, letting it swing wide.

"Come in."

Just as he finished speaking, he realized there was no one at the door.

"No one? Talking from a distance?"

He had never thought that these Beauties would be so afraid of him, not even daring to appear rashly, which was somewhat absurd.

He flicked his sleeve, and the door closed again. The Spirit Energy in his body quietly erupted and swept towards the door.

In no time, he detected a huge Spirit Energy fluctuation at the Great Hall entrance.

He quietly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with deep disbelief: "What exactly is going on?"

For the Beauties to gather at the Great Hall entrance, only Su Xueqing could have done it.

Thinking it over and over, he kept feeling that these Beauties were trying to trip him up.

The Spirit Energy in his body circulated to the extreme, and there was even a visible cyan Water Curtain above his head.

Gradually approaching those Beauties, he found them kneeling in unison at the Great Hall entrance, there were as many as six of them.

"Holy Maiden, we need to contribute a portion of the spiritual stones in our bodies to Xiao Feng, we wonder if you would agree?"

Their tone even carried a strong sense of pleading, clearly showing them begging Su Xueqing.

"Giving me spiritual stones? Could it be..."

These Beauties have been in the Hall of Supreme Bliss for a while. Knowing that Ying'er's inner evil desires were completely cleansed, they were inevitably jealous.

Without enough spiritual stones, Xiao Feng would definitely not cleanse the few remaining evil desires within them.

"Bang..."

While he was in a daze, the door was suddenly knocked open. The Holy Maiden's power forcefully struck out from inside the room, hitting these people heavily and sending them flying.

"Puff..."

Blood trickled down the corners of their mouths, clearly indicating that each of them had injuries of varying severity.

If they hadn't been the pillars of the major Sects before, this strike would have felt like the sky collapsing on them.

"Only I am worthy of using spiritual stones. You actually want to contribute spiritual stones to him?"

For some reason, the Holy Maiden always felt they had impure thoughts towards Xiao Feng and could not let them go.

At the entrance, the six of them exchanged glances, enduring the pain in their bodies as they knelt on the ground.

"We heard that Xiao Feng is cleansing the evil desires within you. If he doesn't have enough strength, he might die in front of us."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden's Spirit Energy in her hand subsided slightly, clearly falling into contemplation.

"This..."

She had not expected that these people's thoughts were ahead of hers, that they could even consider these things.

After a moment, the Holy Maiden's voice transmission reached their ears: "You are permitted to contribute spiritual stones to Xiao Feng, but I do not wish to see you attempt to escape."

Instantly, the six of them kowtowed in unison: "Even if you gave us more courage, we would not dare to easily escape. Please rest assured."

Having lived in the Hall of Supreme Bliss for so long, they were well aware of the treatment those who tried to escape received.

Moreover, they had no way to the Lower Realm; leaving rashly would only result in being captured back, which would be a huge blow to them.

Xiao Feng secretly listened to their words, his eyes filled with deep disbelief.

"These people were the pillars of the Sects in the Lower Realm, yet they can be so obedient?"

It seems the Hall of Supreme Bliss has completely worn away their personalities, leaving only obedience.

Recalling that those who disobeyed were thrown into the mines, living extremely miserable lives, he felt relieved.

After a moment, these few people walked towards Xiao Feng's room.

He gradually withdrew his Spirit Energy, pretending not to know anything, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Creak..."

The door was opened, and the six of them entered in unison, their eyes filled with anticipation.

The spatial rings in their hands glowed slightly, and the items stored inside naturally appeared out of nowhere, occupying more than half of the room.

Xiao Feng looked at the contents of the room with a shocked expression: "Spiritual stones? So many spiritual stones?"

He had never thought that these people could give him such a massive amount of spiritual stones.

"These things are all for you."

The few people were full of respect, waiting for Xiao Feng's words.

He understood that their actions were likely intended for him to focus on cultivation.

However, Xiao Feng was only willing to cleanse the Evil Qi within Ying'er, and was not willing to cleanse the Evil Qi within others.

"My Spirit Energy is insufficient. You should all disperse. If needed, I will contact you using voice transmission."

Seeing Xiao Feng's serious demeanor, the Beauties exchanged glances, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.

They were treated using the same method, yet the treatment they received was vastly different.

Seeing that the crowd had no intention of leaving, Xiao Feng walked up to them and snorted: "What? You wouldn't think that by giving me spiritual stones, I have to follow you, would you?"

As he said this, everyone shook their heads: "No, we don't have that idea. We'll leave now."

Having their little schemes exposed, these people had no face left. They backed out of the room, with no desire to stay.

"Bang..."

He violently swung his sleeve, and the door slammed shut.

The Cultivation Wood Staff and the Liuguang Sword spontaneously shot out from the void, saw the room full of spiritual stones, and landed among them.

They needed a massive amount of spiritual stones for repair, and having this room full of spiritual stones available was the best option for them to absorb completely.

He closed his eyes again; he didn't believe these two Spiritual Artifacts could absorb much Spirit Energy.

As the injuries in his body were gradually repaired, Xiao Feng quietly opened his eyes and found that a full seven days had passed.

Without Su Xueqing's nagging, he could quietly stay in the courtyard, not even needing to react.

Suddenly, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong. He abruptly looked towards the empty direction, his eyes wide: "Where are my spiritual stones?"

Seven days ago, the spiritual stones that were rich enough to rival a nation had disappeared. The large room didn't even have a single spiritual stone left.

Seeing that Xiao Feng noticed the spiritual stones in the room were gone, the Cultivation Wood Staff couldn't help but complain: "It's all the Liuguang Sword's fault, it ate too much."

"Nonsense."

Seeing that the artifact spirits in the Spiritual Artifacts were about to argue, Xiao Feng quickly stopped them: "It's just spiritual stones, there's no need to argue. I'll ask them for more."
