#152 - Check in to the warehouse

Numerous independent warehouses existed on the outskirts of Towering Cloud Town.

They were specifically prepared for guests arriving with large goods and caravans.

Captain Zhao led the two of them here to store their heavy luggage.

Inside warehouse number three.

"Esteemed sirs, there is enough space here to store your luggage. After you've settled in, I can continue to lead you to the hotel inside."

Captain Zhao served them diligently, which Quan Yi deeply appreciated, but he didn't comment much.

"No, thank you, Captain Zhao. I see there's a lounge inside for people to rest, and we plan to stay here directly. We won't trouble you any further."

Quan Yi noticed that the interior of the warehouse was huge, and there was a spacious open area in front of the warehouse, perfect for him to move around and train.

He came here to cultivate, and staying in a hotel would only restrict his training.

"This, alright. Then please make yourselves at home, esteemed sirs. I won't disturb you any further."

Captain Zhao hesitated for a moment, then turned and headed towards the door.

"Wait."

"Oh, oh, oh, look at my memory. It costs ten gold spirit coins per month, so it's one hundred and twenty gold spirit coins per year."

Quan Yi turned around and took out a bag of gold spirit coins from the Scorching Sun Gauntlet, and handed it to Captain Zhao.

"There are two hundred gold spirit coins in here. I'll pre-pay for a year first, and the rest is your reward. You can keep it for yourself."

When Captain Zhao heard what Quan Yi said, he immediately took the money bag, but a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Then, he turned and quickly left.

"Little Yi, you did well just now. For people like that, it's best to just send them away with money. Remember not to have too much interaction."

Quan Li only praised Quan Yi's actions after seeing him leave.

Quan Yi and Quan Li had observed Captain Zhao's behavior from afar.

There was no need to waste energy dealing with someone like Captain Zhao, who was a bit obsequious to his superiors, bullying to his subordinates, and derelict in his duties.

In this sense, Quan Yi's handling method was very much to Quan Li's liking.

Quan Li nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Quan Yi, "Alright, it seems I can leave with peace of mind. Remember to send letters every month, and if you encounter a strong enemy, be sure to turn around and run away immediately."

Quan Li didn't plan to stay here long. At his pace, he could be home in an hour or two.

Although he was a little reluctant, Quan Yi didn't try to persuade him to stay. "Don't worry, I'll remember."

Quan Li was decisive and efficient. After putting down his luggage, he disappeared from Quan Yi's sight.

Quan Yi, now alone, put the smoked meat into the dry storage room.

Quan Yi began to survey his future residence.

The interior of the warehouse was very large, and there were some wooden plank beds.

There was even a washing area.

This was space prepared for the servants and subordinates accompanying the caravans.

That night, after a simple wash, Quan Yi rested for the night.

The next morning.

Quan Yi began his training in the spacious area outside the warehouse.

This journey to obtain the fourth spirit ring was incredibly fruitful.

A twenty-thousand-year spirit ring and a twenty-thousand-year spirit bone had brought tremendous changes to Quan Yi.

However, Quan Yi couldn't indulge in the joy of his gains. He had to adapt to the changes in his body as soon as possible.

Quan Yi took out his personal weighted equipment.

He couldn't even put on the original two-thousand-kilogram weights now.

Moreover, this weight was not enough for Quan Yi now.

"I wonder if there are any blacksmiths here who can forge iron essence armor, otherwise, the training efficiency will be too low."

The excessive strength of his body put Quan Yi in a state of happy烦恼.

In the morning, Quan Yi ran at full speed for an hour, running at the speed of a Spirit Saint on the spacious ground in front of the warehouse. The wind caused by the running blew the leaves down.

Even the sturdy wooden warehouse was swaying in the strong wind.

Helpless, Quan Yi stopped his morning training.

"The momentum is too great, suitable weights for me must be prepared as soon as possible."

The stronger his strength became, the higher the requirements for his training ground became. This was also why many strong people chose to stay away from the crowds and hide in the wilderness.

After finishing his morning鍛煉, Quan Yi ate smoked twenty-thousand-year spirit beast meat for breakfast.

He ate until he was seventy percent full, and Quan Yi immediately circulated his spirit power to quickly digest and absorb it, repeating this cycle.

Dozens of kilograms of spirit beast meat were eaten clean by Quan Yi.

This was still because Quan Yi's body consumed relatively little energy. If Quan Yi completed his limit training and then ate, he could definitely eat several times more.

After breakfast, Quan Yi came to the warehouse.

He began his other training.

Mental cultivation method.

That is, the training of transforming hardness into softness.

Quan Yi stretched out his palm, and spirit power condensed in his palm.

A dark red, hard film evenly covered the palm of his hand.

"Ping!"

When he flicked it with his finger, a hard metallic sound rang out.

At level forty-nine, Quan Yi's hardness, in terms of凝聚力, the amount of spirit power contained per unit, and other aspects, far exceeded that before the breakthrough.

Its hardness far surpassed fine iron, and was about to reach the hardness of iron essence.

Originally, the most spirit power-consuming part was from the beginning to the moment of complete凝結. After completion, the consumption of spirit power would drop significantly.

The stability of the spirit power structure.

Is the mystery of hardness.

Now, what Quan Yi had to do was to abandon stability and turn the spirit power back to an active state.

Quan Yi's mental power gradually relaxed from a forceful state.

The smooth film began to vibrate violently. At the moment the solid structure was released, the stable spirit power quickly detached from the palm of his hand.

The whole process was exceptionally fast.

When Quan Yi quickly stopped 脱力, most of the spirit power quickly dissipated.

The other half of the spirit power that was barely left successfully turned into a liquid state.

Quan Yi's mind was now highly concentrated, and all his consciousnesses were fused into one, and only then could he barely do this.

The problem now was that Quan Yi couldn't completely retain all of his spirit power during the transformation. The other problem was that the remaining half was not enough to maintain half the required time.

An hour later.

Maintaining a tense state for a long time consumed too much mental power.

He couldn't even wait for the spirit power to dissipate on its own, and it disbanded on its own due to the shortage of mental power.

"Ugh~."

Quan Yi painfully pressed his forehead and let out a slight groan.

The state of mental exhaustion caused Quan Yi to have a severe headache.

This was Quan Yi's current limit.

Quan Yi took out the gourd containing Green Bamboo Brew from the Heart of Scorching Sun.

He took a small sip.

The feeling of the hot liquid entering his body still couldn't let Quan Yi adapt, but a cool breath rushed into his mind.

Relieving Quan Yi's severe headache.

Although Quan Yi's body had developed a certain resistance to Green Bamboo Brew, which prevented it from quickly amplifying his mental power.

But it had a miraculous effect on restoring his mental power.

The consumption and recovery of mental power alternated at an alarming rate under the action of Green Bamboo Brew.

At the same time, Quan Yi's mental power also made considerable progress in this process.
