Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Sudden Change of the Jade Pendant

"Where is this?" Lin Xi exclaimed in surprise.

He was now in a closed room, not very large, about ten square meters, filled with a mist similar to the white mist hovering among mountains.

But this gas was clearly not mist; it felt to Lin Xi like something with its own spirituality, making him feel extremely comfortable.

Apart from these white gases, there was nothing else in the room.

No, this wasn’t a room.

Lin Xi’s alertness was extremely high; what he was stepping on wasn’t flooring but something slightly soft and elastic, with the same texture as the walls.

It seemed to be highly compressed from the white mist that drifted around the room, not the usual brick or cement steel structure.

A room compressed from mist?

This isn’t scientific!

Or rather, current technology can’t achieve this.

And he was just in his dormitory cultivating, how did he suddenly end up here?

Even if he had fallen asleep eventually, his instinctive alertness remained; as long as anyone got within a meter of him, even without any malicious intent, Lin Xi would wake up immediately, let alone someone taking him away entirely.

"Huh? It seems like my body has no weight!"

As soon as Lin Xi moved, he felt as if his entire body was about to float.

After silently sensing it again, Lin Xi found that his physical condition was surprisingly good, with his strength and reaction speed seemingly greatly enhanced.

"Uh, this is..."

Just then, when he touched his chin with his right hand, he found his fingers passed right through it.

Testing it again with his hands and body, he found he couldn’t touch anything; everything went straight through, as if his entire being wasn’t material.

Could it be a dream?

But how could it be so clear, so real, and he could completely feel his physical state?

Unable to figure it out for the time being, and not sensing any danger, Lin Xi decided to put it aside for now.

"This mist?" Lin Xi reached out his hand, and the almost solidified white mist passed through his palm, his body expressing a strong desire, "Could it be?"

A look of confusion was hard to conceal on Lin Xi’s face; he immediately closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and started to operate the Xuanyuan Shenlong technique to try it out.

The next moment, Lin Xi opened his eyes with a face full of ecstasy.

This white mist was actually Spiritual Qi!

Spiritual Qi, to people nowadays, is something no one believes exists.

In fact, the Spiritual Qi of this world had long since dried up.

Even though he and the old man lived deep in Yunlong Mountain, apart from that Secret Realm, they had practically never sensed Spiritual Qi anywhere else.

As for Huaxia or other parts of the world, he hadn’t heard anyone talk about it either.

If it weren’t for that Secret Realm and the Xuanyuan Shenlong technique, even Lin Xi wouldn’t have believed in the existence of something like Spiritual Qi.

Moreover, in this place similar to a room, the Spiritual Qi was so rich that even in the age before Spiritual Qi dried up, such a place would be hard to find.

Without time for more thought, Lin Xi calmed his mind and concentrated fully on training.

This opportunity was incomparable even to the Dragon Blood Stone, and he didn’t want to waste a single moment.

As he started to cultivate, strands of Spiritual Qi visible to the naked eye converged towards Lin Xi from all directions, entering his body through every inch of skin.

Lin Xi, who had just broken through to the late first stage of the Xuanyuan Shenlong technique using the Dragon Blood Stone, saw his cultivation speed soar again, and his strength steadily improved.

Before he made the breakthrough, his strength, by modern standards, classified him as a top-level King of Soldiers.

After breaking through from the mid to late first stage of the Xuanyuan Shenlong technique, his strength skyrocketed to the level of a Peak Soldier King.

This advancement, although seemingly small, was not to be underestimated. The higher one’s strength, the harder it is to advance, and the differences become more pronounced.

For instance, a normal Peak Soldier King could easily defeat five or six normal top-level Kings of Soldiers.

What was scarier was that Lin Xi’s strength was still steadily increasing.

He always thought that the old man’s strength as a Peak Soldier King was the human body’s ultimate limit.

But now it seemed he reached the Peak Soldier King level just by breaking through to the late first stage of the Xuanyuan Shenlong technique, and his strength continued to rise with his cultivation — that was truly astonishing.

Could there be levels beyond the Peak Soldier King?

However, he had never heard the old man mention this, and in his years of wandering internationally, he never encountered anyone beyond a top-level King of Soldiers or heard anyone say there were levels beyond a Peak Soldier King.

After all, to those international strongmen, a top-level King of Soldiers was already a legendary figure.

Then what level could the second stage of the Xuanyuan Shenlong technique achieve for him? Could the ancient myths of Huaxia really exist?

He was really looking forward to it!

Two hours later, Lin Xi opened his eyes, feeling as if his body was saturated and unable to absorb more of the room’s Spiritual Qi.

It was like the daily limit of how much a person could eat.

"It didn’t decrease at all!" The next moment, Lin Xi’s face turned greatly surprised.

During his cultivation, he felt he had absorbed quite a lot of Spiritual Qi; he estimated that at least half of the room’s Spiritual Qi should have been absorbed by now.

But he now discovered that the Spiritual Qi in the room was still as dense as before, as if he hadn’t absorbed any at all.

Could it be that what he absorbed was an illusion?

Thinking of this, Lin Xi tested his own strength again and found that he was indeed stronger than before, confirming it wasn’t an illusion.

"Or could it be that the Spiritual Qi here is so unimaginably dense that the part I absorbed was just a trivial portion overall?" Thinking this, Lin Xi couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

If that were the case, then his breakthrough problem was solved!

"But how do I get out?" Lin Xi wondered, knowing that being stuck here would be useless no matter how strong he became.

The next moment, the environment changed, and Lin Xi was back in his dormitory, lying safely in bed, still the only one in the room.

Lin Xi jumped out of bed, confirmed the surroundings again, and didn’t notice anything different from before.

No, it was getting dark.

Checking his phone, he found it was almost six o’clock?

The time he had just spent cultivating was two hours, which matched up exactly with the time he used for his previous breakthrough with the Dragon Blood Stone.

This meant that the time spent cultivating in the mysterious space did indeed exist.

"The Jade Pendant?"

Lin Xi felt a slight discomfort in his chest and found that the surface of the Jade Pendant had several cracks, with some fragments falling off.

Taking it out from around his neck, Lin Xi gently exerted some force, causing the fragments to fall away completely, revealing a brand-new Jade Pendant that appeared more humble and unadorned.

"Why is there Spiritual Qi on this?" Holding the Jade Pendant, Lin Xi could feel threads of Spiritual Qi emanating from it, entering his body.

It seemed to be continuously nourishing his body. Could the room have something to do with the Jade Pendant?

"Enter." With a sudden realization, Lin Xi jumped onto the bed and mused to himself.
