The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

As the rewards were distributed, Duan Yu felt much more relaxed.

Putting everything else aside, at least he won't have to worry about this for the next month.

However, he also knew that relying on himself was not a long-term solution, since he needed a full 10 spirit stones a month, and that was even with everyone being paid double wages.

It's important to know that in the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce, the salary increases more than double with each level advancement. For example, a level 3 employee receives 50 low-grade spirit stones, while a level 2 employee receives 150 spirit stones.

Therefore, if calculated in this way, it would normally require at least 20 spirit stones.

But after thinking it over, there really is no other way but to seize power!

Suddenly he thought of Lu Changfeng. This guy had saved the business from disaster many times. If he could find him, he would definitely have a way to solve the problem.

But he had previously harmed him, even planning to kill him to silence him, and had even lost an arm for it, so there was absolutely no way this guy would help him.

He has a better chance of finding Su Ziyuan than Lu Changfeng.

So he immediately rejected the idea.

He soon noticed something: it seemed that all he had been thinking about all this time was seizing power, but he actually had another path to take, which was to obtain the contract for the psionic furniture!

If I can find a way to get this, there might be a chance that my hanging will be loosened!

But how can I get it?

As he was pondering this, Lu Changfeng returned to his office and was surprised to find that his resource list was changing.

The dragon-shaped stalactite that was originally in the resource section is growing rapidly.

Ten years, a hundred years, and finally the number settled on a thousand years.

Lu Changfeng was completely dumbfounded when he saw this.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

"In an instant, the dragon-shaped stalactite transformed from a ten-year-old formation into a thousand-year-old dragon-shaped stalactite!"

You should know that you've only had the dragon-shaped stalactite for two years. Even with the 20x growth speed boost from the secondary resource slot, it would only be around 50 years old. Logically, even with the help of a cheat code, it would need to grow for another three years to become a hundred-year-old dragon-shaped stalactite.

But what happened now? In just a short while, it turned into a thousand-year-old stalactite, and it doesn't even look like an ordinary thousand-year-old stalactite, but rather a two-thousand-year-old stalactite.

He quickly realized something.

"By the way, the change happened in August last year, but this year it happened in June, and isn't it June now?"

"So, in that case, the reason the dragon-shaped stalactite became like this is because of changes in the heavens and earth?"

Because there wasn't much of a commotion on the day of the great change in the world last year, he didn't think much of it. He didn't expect that this year, which seemed quiet, would turn out to be a big one.

After calculating the multiplier based on the resource list, it was quickly concluded that today's events caused the spirit creature to grow by a hundred years.

Lu Changfeng's eyes lit up immediately.

"If a spirit creature grows a hundred years in a single day, wouldn't that mean that many new spirit creatures have appeared just today?"

Fortunately, I still had two empty resource slots. If I hadn't found them, it would have been fine, but now that I've found them first, I'm bound to do a thorough search.

Thinking of this, he immediately told Li Bing and left the mall, then began his treasure hunt with the Ancestral Vein Stone Scale in his arms.

Almost as soon as it was taken out, the ancestral stone scales sensed it.

Following their senses, they soon found a mushroom hidden in a crevice of a fallen tree trunk.

Although he didn't recognize the mushroom, what could he do when he had a cheat code?

[Ding! Breathing Wood Mushroom detected. Transplant now?]

"no!"

He then picked the jade and put it into the jade box he carried with him.

After doing all this, he hummed a little tune and began searching for the next spiritual object.

This is the spirit object identification tool he developed using the resource bar. However, it was a last resort. Logically speaking, since his mother was an alchemist, he should know a little about spirit plants.

But what can I do when my mother is only a first-level alchemist? She doesn't recognize higher-level spiritual herbs, let alone me.

Take this Green Wood Mushroom, for example. He had only heard about it by chance, and it seemed to be a spiritual plant used to refine Foundation Establishment pills. Before that, he had never even seen it in person, let alone recognized it on the spot.

Fortunately, I have a cheat code, so at least I won't make a mistake.

However, there's no need to put this in the resource bar, as his resource bar can't hold these ordinary spiritual plants.

Then he began searching again along the stone slabs.

However, all I got were ordinary spiritual plants; there were none of the good stuff that could be added to my resource list.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. Since there wasn't anything good to be found on the surface, why not look underground? Wasn't the dragon-shaped stalactite from ten years ago found underground?

Without hesitation, he immediately used the ancestral vein stone scales to dive underground.

In just two hours, he found something good.

Looking at the small puddle in the cave in front of him, Lu Changfeng gasped.

"Hiss... this... this... could this be the legendary Spirit Pool?"

At this moment, he felt that even the tiny puddle in front of him, no bigger than the palm of his hand, made him a little tongue-tied.

This small puddle may seem insignificant, but any cultivator present can sense just how surging the spiritual energy gushing from it is.

In the past, this small puddle alone could have been considered a treasure trove for a Foundation Establishment family, easily accommodating two or three Foundation Establishment cultivators to cultivate here.

Moreover, the water in this puddle is also very useful. It can restore some spiritual artifacts that have lost their spiritual power, and it can also be used to heal injuries. As long as there is enough water in the pool, even a severed arm like Duan Yu's can be regenerated by soaking in it.

Most importantly, like dragon-shaped stalactites, the older these stones are, the better their effect.

"Hehehe, I've finally found something good! I'll put it away!"

Immediately, the words "[Centennial Spirit Pool]" appeared in the second slot of the resource panel.

"Great, great, let's do it again!"

He soon found the third thing worth acquiring.

Not far away, below the waterfall, a round object about one meter in size with a natural Tai Chi pattern on its surface caught his attention.

At this moment, the ancestral stone scales were constantly flashing towards this stone, and the light on them was brighter than ever before.

This piqued Lu Changfeng's curiosity. What was it that made this stone surpass even the dragon-shaped stalactite and the hundred-year-old spirit pool?

Although the natural Tai Chi pattern on it does look a bit magical, there are many magical things in the cultivation world. But since we've encountered it, let's get closer and let the Golden Finger see what it is first.

However, just as he arrived at the foot of the waterfall, two other auras descended, their targets aimed directly at the Taiji Stone.

Now things have really gotten complicated; the Tai Chi Stone has suddenly become a three-way struggle.
