Chapter 4 Mysterious Space
A quarter of an hour later, Shi Yue landed near a green palace that was more than ten feet high.
On the plaque above the palace gate, three golden characters "Deacon Hall" were written in a flamboyant style. There was a glow on the surface of the plaque, which was a magical instrument.
The Deacon Hall has three floors. The first floor is where various chores in the sect are handled and where disciples in the Qi Refining stage are assigned to perform tasks. The second floor is where reward tasks are received and issued, and contribution points and spirit stones are earned. The third floor is where contribution points are exchanged for immortal cultivation resources. There are all kinds of immortal cultivation items such as magic instruments, elixirs, and talismans. As long as you have enough contribution points, you can exchange anything, including foundation-building pills.
The hall is half an acre in size. Behind a long bluestone counter stands a middle-aged man with a thin face. In front of him stand two disciples in the Qi Refining stage, listening respectfully to what the middle-aged man is saying.
"Okay, even if you barely completed this mission, the quality of the spiritual herbs you handed in is average, so five spiritual stones will be deducted. Do you have any objections?" the middle-aged man said lightly.
"No objection, no objection." Although the two Qi Refining disciples were very annoyed, they still forced a smile on their faces.
"Well, this is thirty spiritual stones," the middle-aged man nodded, took out thirty spiritual stones and put them on the counter.
The two Qi Refining disciples put away the spiritual stones and left quickly.
Seeing this, Shi Yue walked up quickly, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Deacon Wang."
"Hmph, don't try to get close to me, take out the things!" The middle-aged man snorted and said coldly.
"Things? Deacon Wang, you haven't assigned me this month's tasks yet!" Shi Yue was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"Who said I didn't assign you a task? I asked you to pick five ten-year-old red sandalwood flowers. Did you pick them?" The middle-aged man said with some displeasure.
"Pick five ten-year-old red sandalwood flowers? Wasn't this the task last month?" Shi Yue muttered to himself after hearing this.
The voice was not loud, but the middle-aged man still heard it. He raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes at Shi Yue, and said coldly:
"Did you sleep confused? Last month I asked you to pick ten ten-year-old moon-watching grasses. In two days, it will be the end of the month. If you haven't picked five ten-year-old red sandalwood flowers, don't even think about getting a spiritual stone."
After hearing this, Shi Yue frowned. He had clearly stayed in the mysterious space for ten days, so how come only one day has passed now? Could it be that the time in the mysterious space is ten times that of the outside world?
Thinking of this, Shi Yue's breathing became a little hurried. If he could enter and exit the mysterious space at will and practice in it, wouldn't his cultivation level improve rapidly?
After a little thought, Shi Yue turned around and walked out of the deacon hall, and flew back to his residence.
Shi Yue sat cross-legged on the stone bed, holding the blue bead in his hand and looking at it non-stop.
Since he had been in the inner space of the blue bead for ten days, only one day had passed in the outside world, Shi Yue was not afraid of being trapped inside.
After he put the earthen jar into the storage bag, he injected mana into the blue bead.
A dazzling blue light lit up immediately, forcing Shi Yue to close his eyes.
When Shi Yue opened his eyes, he found himself standing in front of a simple stone house. In front of the house was three acres of empty spiritual fields. He had entered the mysterious space again.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yue showed joy on his face. With this treasure, he might be able to enter the foundation-building stage in his lifetime.
Thinking of this, Shi Yue was about to sit cross-legged to practice. When his eyes passed over the empty spiritual fields in front of him, a bold idea came to his mind.
Since the time in this space passes ten times faster than that in the outside world, the spiritual grain here grows ten times faster than that in the outside world?
Shi Yue thought about it carefully and decided to give it a try.
He flipped his palm, and a silver hoe as tall as a person appeared in his hand. There was a spiritual light flowing on the surface of the hoe. It was a magic weapon.
The soil of the spiritual field is not ordinary soil. It is extremely hard. Ordinary hoes can't shovel it at all. Only magic weapons can shovel it.
Shi Yue raised his foot and walked into the spiritual field. He raised the hoe with both hands and dropped it hard.
With a "puff".
The silver hoe fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and a layer of purple-red soil was turned up.
Shi Yue took a deep breath, raised the hoe, and dropped it again...
Two hours later, he sat in front of the stone house, panting heavily, his face full of sweat.
He looked at the one acre of spiritual field he had turned over, and a smile appeared on his tired face.
After resting for a while, when Shi Yue felt that his physical strength had almost recovered, he took out a blue leather bag from the storage bag.
He opened the leather bag, took out a handful of small yellow particles, and evenly sprinkled them on the field. When the spiritual rice seeds were scattered all over the field, the leather bag became empty.
Shi Yue started to chant something, and a large amount of blue light appeared out of thin air around him.
After a while, Shi Yue stopped chanting and pointed his hand at the sky above the spiritual field.
The blue light around him seemed to be guided by something, and rushed to the sky above the spiritual field, gathering into a huge white cloud, covering the one-acre spiritual field where the seeds were scattered.
"Fall." Shi Yue shouted in a low voice, and a spell was cast on the white cloud.
After the white cloud rolled and surged, a little rain poured down from the white cloud, covering the entire acre of spiritual field.
An amazing scene appeared. As the rain continued to fall, green spiritual rice seedlings actually emerged from the spiritual field below. The seedlings stopped growing when they grew to more than a foot high.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yue nodded, and the spell was retracted. The rain stopped, and the white cloud also dissipated and disappeared.
Planting spiritual grains and spiritual medicines in the spiritual field of the sect requires rent and anti-theft. It is different here. Not only does it not require rent, but it also does not require anti-theft.
Shi Yue looked at the green spiritual rice seedlings in the spiritual field, and a sense of pride arose from his heart.
Spiritual fields will not lie. You get what you sow. As long as the rain is applied on time, one mu of spiritual rice should be able to harvest more than 100 kilograms of spiritual rice.
When Shi Yue thought of the mountains of spiritual rice, a smile appeared on his face.
"It would be great if I could go out. I can go to the Deacon Hall to buy other spiritual grain seeds for planting." Shi Yue looked at the two empty mu of spiritual fields and thought secretly in his heart.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he appeared in the stone house.
Looking at everything familiar in the house, Shi Yue's face showed ecstasy.
"Could it be that I can freely enter the inner space of the bead?" Shi Yue muttered to himself after calming down his mind.
He hesitated for a moment, injected mana into the blue bead, and a blue light flashed, and Shi Yue suddenly appeared in the mysterious space.
Shi Yue's expression moved, and the idea of going out flashed through his mind, and he returned to the stone house.
Shi Yue was so happy now. It seemed that his previous actions were correct. After dripping blood to recognize the master, he could freely enter and exit the inner space of the blue bead.
Shi Yue found that it was getting dark. At this time, the deacon hall was closed. He could only go there tomorrow.
He sat cross-legged on the stone bed, silently reciting the second level of the "Taixu Jue" practice formula, absorbing spiritual energy.
He was only at the second level of Qi Refining now, so there was no reason to slack off. Innate talent is insufficient, acquired diligence makes up for it, this is Shi Yue's motto.
