Jian Cangqiong knows that if it were other cultivators at the Divine Infant Realm Early Stage, not to mention so many spirit stones, even a single high-grade spirit stone would be enough to make them overwhelmingly excited, let alone find it insufficient.

However, Jian Cangqiong clearly remembers when in the valley, Jiang Chen casually mentioned why not use supreme spirit stones for formation. Coupled with recent interactions, Jian Cangqiong is very sure that Jiang Chen is definitely someone who has seen the world.

It's likely that even Jiang Chen cannot imagine the things he has experienced.

As a result, when Jian Cangqiong talks with Jiang Chen, he no longer regards Jiang Chen as a junior he can crush with one finger but as a peer.

"Thank you, Director."

Jiang Chen did not decline, nor did his face show much excitement.

This scene made Jian Cangqiong feel he guessed correctly; these spirit stones mean little to Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen might have had more spirit stones in the past.

It turns out Jian Cangqiong was wrong. The reason Jiang Chen spoke like that in the valley is because he didn't really understand what supreme spirit stones meant. When he learned later, he didn't feel much because he was never short of 'money.'

And with his talent and cultivation progress, he hasn't reached the point where he needs to absorb spirit stones for rapid advancement.

Therefore, he doesn't have much demand for spirit stones and appears particularly indifferent.

If he knew the large sum he currently possesses is enough to make those at the Unity Realm Stage incredibly tempted, even causing the desire to kill and seize treasures.

Moreover, Jian Cangqiong has taken out these resources, amounting to eighty percent of Changlin Academy's reserves over the past century; he might not be so indifferent!

Hu Yiqiu saw Jiang Chen's calm demeanor and nodded in satisfaction.

Resources are good, but if a cultivator relies too heavily on resources for cultivation, it leads to a disadvantage!

After giving out the reward, Jian Cangqiong left Southern Maniac Mountain, and Hu Yiqiu did not disturb Jiang Chen any further.

Jiang Chen stored the spirit stones, took out five Five Elements Origin Beads, and some medium-grade and inferior spirit stones, setting up a small Five Elements Formation in the wooden house to start healing and cultivating.

...

Changlin Academy regained its peace once more.

"Haha! I did it!"

A joyous voice sounded from the waist of Southern Maniac Mountain.

Yun Tao stood above the river, looking at the equally-sized hundred leaves in his hand, overjoyed.

"Yun Tao, congratulations."

Jian Wuheng chuckled softly and congratulated.

"Heh, faster than you!"

Yun Tao provocatively glanced at Jian Wuheng.

Jian Wuheng smiled helplessly, glanced at Ouyang Ruoxue, who was walking on the river, and smirked: "Yun Tao, look at Ruo Xue, she's already training while walking, you only succeeded in a calm state, don't get overconfident! She's still just at the Divine Infant Realm Early Stage!"

"I..."

Yun Tao glanced at Ouyang Ruoxue, embarrassed, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.

Such training is very monotonous, not like meditative cultivation where time flies. Ouyang Ruoxue has been bitterly training on the river every day for two months since she came to Southern Maniac Mountain, a perseverance that is truly admirable.

"I feel this girl is taking Junior Brother as a target to chase!"

Yun Tao spoke softly.

"Senior Brother Jiang is also our target to chase, isn't he?"

Jian Wuheng smiled lightly, turning to glance toward the peak of Southern Maniac Mountain.

"I wouldn't chase that guy, he's abnormal, I'm normal, normal people can't really compare to him."

Yun Tao puckered his lips, also looking towards the peak of Southern Maniac Mountain, a warm look in his eyes.

"Yun Tao, the mission time is coming up, right?"

Jian Wuheng suddenly thought of something and spoke softly.

"Yes, we should depart tomorrow!"

Yun Tao nodded lightly, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "I wonder if Junior Brother can recover from his injuries tomorrow; Junior Brother's repeated integration of Dao Seeds has severely affected his Great Dao Foundation, making recovery quite difficult."

"Senior Brother, don't underestimate me, you once said I was a monster, can a monster be compared to ordinary people?"

A soft laugh echoed, Jiang Chen emerged from the woods.

"Junior Brother? Your injuries are healed?"

Yun Tao eagerly spoke, his figure flashed to Jiang Chen's side, while Jian Wuheng and Ouyang Ruoxue also flew over.

"All healed, thanks to the Five Elements Origin Beads gifted by the Director."

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

Jian Wuheng chuckled lightly: "That's a reward you deserve."

"Junior Brother, look."

After confirming Jiang Chen's recovery, Yun Tao couldn't wait to stretch his hand to Jiang Chen, showing off his training result.

Jiang Chen glanced at the leaves in Yun Tao's hand, smiling slightly: "Senior Brother, now you can train while cultivating, the foundation is set, simultaneous training and cultivation won't waste too much time."

"Good!"

Yun Tao responded and raised his eyebrows at Jian Wuheng.

Jian Wuheng directly ignored Yun Tao's provocation.

Ouyang Ruoxue slightly stunned, her expression changed slightly, nodded lightly.

"Ruo Xue, you're not suitable!"

Jiang Chen turned to Ouyang Ruoxue: "Senior Brother originally had a solid foundation, now training to this extent, simultaneous cultivation and training is no problem, while you..."

Jiang Chen continued seriously: "Your foundation is too unstable; you need to fully master your strength before further cultivation, otherwise, when your realm advances, uncontrolled power might occur again, so you need to complete all training projects before continuing to advance!"

"Okay!"

Ouyang Ruoxue bit her lip lightly, nodding slightly.

"Junior Brother, Ruo Xue has indeed been very diligent; let her rest and change the method, always doing one thing is too monotonous."

Yun Tao gently advised.

"A master leads the way, personal practice is the key. I've taught you the training methods, whether you train or not is your own matter, I won't force it."

Jiang Chen spoke calmly: "Senior Brother, diligence is the least worth mentioning quality. Every strong individual has a history of arduous cultivation; to surpass others, you must exert more effort! Talent determines your fast start, but suitable cultivation techniques and training methods, along with your effort, determine how high you can climb."

Yun Tao slightly dazed, his expression changed subtly, falling into contemplation.

Swoosh!

Ouyang Ruoxue said nothing, her figure flashed back onto the river, continuing her training.

Swoosh!

Meanwhile, a figure leaped out from the woods.

"Senior Yun, Senior Jian, Senior Jiang!"

Sun Zheqi clasped his fists towards the three.

Since the challenge competition, Sun Zheqi disappeared for a time, recently reappearing, frequently coming here to watch Yun Tao and the others train.
