58: Chapter 58 Mid-Nascent Soul Stage

Bai Yuzhong really guessed right.

For these past five months, Zhao Yi really hadn't rested at all; he was either mining or on his way to mine.

His cultivation at the Nascent Soul Stage was completely different from the Golden Core Stage; he didn't need to worry about his Nascent Soul power running out.

Therefore, he swung his arms and dug with all his might.

Of course, the harvest was astonishing; in just five months, he had accumulated enough experience points for a Breakthrough to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage.

Courtyard No. 998873, which Zhao Yi had spent a huge sum to rent from the Cultivation Academy. The cost was one Low-Grade Spirit Stone per day, and Zhao Yi rented it for a hundred days, which was exactly one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.

After entering the courtyard, Zhao Yi didn't start to Cultivate, nor did he check the courtyard's Formation defenses; instead, he collapsed and fell asleep.

Working at sunrise and resting at sunset is the Dao of nature. Violating nature, even with the support of Nascent Soul power, made mental exhaustion unavoidable.

He slept for three days and three nights. Zhao Yi was well-rested, but the Great White Spirit Stone Mine was in an uproar.

Gao Ling stood to the side, shrinking her head. All those surrounding her were old monsters at the Soul Transformation Stage; she couldn't afford to offend any of them.

"Ding Gouba, are you still not dead yet, damn it?"

"Yellow Skin, if you haven't died, how could I die?"

...

These Spirit Transformation Cultivators clearly knew each other. They didn't come here for anyone else, but specifically for Zhao Yi.

"What do you all want?"

"Don't you know that this place belongs to the Cultivation Academy of the Immortal Dynasty?"

Three figures appeared in the arena, and Gao Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seniors, these are the Soul Transformation Elders of our academy. If you have any questions or things to say, you can ask them directly."

"Bai Dadong, the Cultivation Academy is doing well for itself now, actually letting a Nascent Soul True Monarch mine Spirit Stones. Tell us, what were you thinking?"

"Hmph!"

Bai Dadong snorted coldly. He wasn't going to take that bait, and he couldn't answer it anyway. Was he supposed to say that this Nascent Soul True Monarch had graduated from the Cultivation Academy with only Qi Refining Third Layer cultivation?

Would he, a Soul Transformation Elder of the Cultivation Academy, lose Face?

"Fine, fine!"

"I admit it, you guys made the right move. Tell us, what conditions do you want to release this True Lord Zhao?"

"What? Release what?"

Bai Dadong didn't react in time. Not only him, but the other two Soul Transformation Elders of the Cultivation Academy didn't react either.

"Grant True Lord Zhao freedom, so he can freely mine Spirit Stones in various Spirit Stone Mines."

Bai Dadong finally understood. Most of the Spirit Transformation Cultivators who came here had families or Sects that owned Spirit Stone Mines.

As for their goal, it was very obvious: they wanted to poach him.

"Fellow Daoists, he is just a Nascent Soul Cultivator. For you all, this shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Hehe!"

"Elder Bai, that's really difficult for us. For the Cultivation Academy, it shouldn't be difficult."

"So..."

"Could Elder Bai trouble yourself to Cultivate another one?"

"I..."

Bai Dadong was speechless. Was he being mocked?

"Heh! I can't argue with you all. However, I can tell you that Zhao Yi is a free man. The Cultivation Academy did not sign a contract with him."

"Really?"

The several Soul Transformation Cultivators grew anxious.

Divine Thought whistled out, clearly going straight to find Zhao Yi.

A moment later, the news that Zhao Yi was in seclusion arrived.

"What a pity, you all made a wasted trip."

"Hehe!"

"You say this kid, he is just a Death Cultivator, does he really think he can reach Soul Transformation?"

Bai Dadong's words drew a burst of hearty laughter, and the entire Great White Mountain peak was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the protagonist, Zhao Yi, finally woke up.

"Comfortable!"

"Time to prepare, Breakthrough to Mid Nascent Soul Stage, then go mine Spirit Stones again."

Outside the courtyard, snow was falling.

Another year had passed.

"I wonder if Hui Peng has found anyone..."

Looking at the courtyard, after a long while, Zhao Yi turned and entered the cultivation room.

"System, increase cultivation."

This courtyard was located on a Spiritual Vein not far from the Great White Spirit Stone Mine. Inside the courtyard, there was a cultivation room, a bedroom, and a reception hall.

It was unknown how many times better it was than the cultivation room at the Lesser Strange Spirit Stone Mine.

In the cultivation room, Zhao Yi took a deep breath and felt the scent of Spiritual Qi in his lungs.

"This is a true immortal mountain blessed land. Was that place at the Lesser Strange Spirit Stone Mine even meant for humans?"

He hadn't left the Lesser Strange Spirit Stone Mine for long, but Zhao Yi was actually starting to dislike it.

Just as Zhao Yi was complaining, explosive Spiritual Qi suddenly appeared in his body.

The massive Spiritual Qi even surged out from his seven orifices. From afar, it looked like he was a human incense burner.

Approximate, who was napping in the courtyard, ignored the walls of the cultivation room and the Formation, and walked directly to Zhao Yi's side.

Smelling the Spiritual Qi radiating from Zhao Yi, it seemed quite satisfied.

Then, it got down on all fours and laid down. Its slightly rising and falling abdomen had a rhythm exactly the same as Zhao Yi's breathing.

Zhao Yi looked fine on the outside, but things were clearly wrong inside his body.

Endless Spiritual Qi was continuously compressed into Nascent Soul power by the Azure Spirit Scripture. These Nascent Soul powers surged into the Dantian from all directions.

They drowned Zhao Yi's Nascent Soul.

Yes, the Nascent Soul, which was surrounded by Nascent Soul power, not only couldn't command this power like an arm, but instead felt like it was drowning.

That tiny Nascent Soul in the Dantian kept its mouth open, continuously swallowing the Nascent Soul power.

However, compared to the speed at which the Nascent Soul power was increasing, that swallowing speed was almost negligible.

"Damn it!"

"Is this Nascent Soul going to drown?"

Zhao Yi was pacing back and forth in a panic on the 'outside'.

"No, I seem to have forgotten something?"

"What am I doing?"

"Breakthrough to Mid Nascent Soul Stage, so why am I me? And why is the Nascent Soul the Nascent Soul?"

Watching the Nascent Soul about to be 'drowned', Zhao Yi always felt there was a flash of inspiration, but he just couldn't grasp it.

"What exactly is it?"

With this anxiety, the Spiritual Qi and Nascent Soul power in his body fluctuated.

Upon fluctuating, cold sweat broke out on Zhao Yi, because the Spiritual Qi in his body was still increasing. A small fluctuation was actually causing these forces to explode.

"It's over!?"

Zhao Yi closed his eyes, waiting for the Breakthrough to fail.

"Eh! What is this?"

"Dantian!!!"

Just as he relaxed, Zhao Yi realized his consciousness had actually entered the Nascent Soul.

Looking at his own little arms and legs, Zhao Yi found it very curious.

But soon, a dull feeling came, and Zhao Yi became drowsy.

"Mysterious Ice Reflecting the Dao, Ancient Concentrating Spirit."

"The Azure Spirit Scripture, inherits the marrow of 'Stillness', follows the guidance of the 'Heart', gathers the breath of heaven and earth, and transforms the spirit of all things."

"At the beginning, the heart is like newly frozen mysterious ice, all thoughts are silent, leaving only the true self spirit..."

The scriptures of the Azure Spirit Scripture flowed through Zhao Yi's heart at this moment. Countless scriptures flew out of the Nascent Soul, circled in the Dantian, and then turned into golden symbols that attached to the Nascent Soul.

Strange to say, the Nascent Soul, blessed by these golden symbols, seemed to have turned into a funnel.

Countless Nascent Soul powers surged in. The original fingernail-sized Nascent Soul grew crazily as if it had been inflated.

In twenty breaths of time, the original fingernail-sized Nascent Soul was already about the size of an ordinary infant.

Fifty breaths, Zhao Yi's Nascent Soul was already like a three or four-year-old child.

After a hundred breaths, Zhao Yi's Nascent Soul had turned into the appearance of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old.
