Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Alone

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the shopkeeper returned with a tray, holding two storage bags.

”Mr. Tan, please check. These are two sets of top-grade Spirit Stones. And here are the Spirit Plants you requested.”

Tan Shaoting confirmed there were no issues.

”Shopkeeper, how much more do I need to pay in Spirit Stones?”

”Mr. Tan should give me 10,090 low-grade Spirit Stones. I’ll make the decision; just one thousand Spirit Stones will suffice.”

The main issue is that exchanging low-grade Spirit Stones for high-grade ones is a clearly defined ratio. However, because of the Thunder Spirit Stone, the full set of Five Elements Spirit Stones is priced lower. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be just an additional thousand Spirit Stones.

Tan Shaoting didn’t waste words. He handed the shopkeeper a storage bag and took the two storage bags.

”Shopkeeper, is there still no Heavenly Thunder Pearl?”

”Mr. Tan, that item needs to be requested from headquarters. I’ve already reported it, so just be patient.”

”Thank you, shopkeeper.”

After leaving the workshop, Tan Shaoting bought Spirit Rice and some seeds.

After returning to the rented courtyard, he began cultivating, waiting for the children to return.

Qi Yan and his siblings skillfully arrived at Wolf Tooth Mountain.

Actually, they mainly wanted to gather spirit plants and would practice fighting when they encountered demon beasts.

Thanks to Qi Hong’s affinity with spirit plants, finding them was really very simple.

”Big brother, now I feel that the demon beasts around here are getting fewer,” Qi Hong murmured.

”Second Brother, that’s because you’ve seen beast tides, so you feel there are fewer demon beasts here.”

”Is that so?”

Both the elder brother and younger sister nodded.

Qi Hong felt he asked a silly question and quickly changed the topic, ”Are we going deeper this time? There’s really nothing good in the outskirts anymore.”

”Second Brother, I’m afraid Dad will be angry.”

”We have a high-level Array Plate, and with our combined combat strength, we even have the potential to defeat a cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Qi Yan thought for a moment. They were really wasting time; they wouldn’t even bother with First-tier Demon Beasts, they were too weak.

”Alright, we’ll go deeper, but we must be careful.”

The three of them were nearly seven years old, appearing around eight or nine. The children were full of energy, eager for adventure.

They didn’t linger in the outskirts at all. They wouldn’t gather low-level spirit plants, not because they were being benevolent, but because they thought gathering low-level spirit plants was a waste of time.

In the evening, they set up a Third-tier Array, as there really was no need for a Fifth-tier one here—it would be too costly in Spirit Stones. So in Wolf Tooth Mountain, they mostly used Third-tier Arrays.

They all had food in their storage rings. Tan Shaoting had prepared a lot for them.

Even though they knew fasting was best, since they were still young and in their growth stage, they couldn’t have them fasting.

They had a nice habit of sleeping at night, even when outside, with one person standing watch.

Tonight it was Qi Wen’s turn to stand watch. She was studying the cultivation techniques in her storage ring. She felt that reaching the Seventh Layer would not be a problem at all.

Furthermore, this cultivation technique included some attack techniques.

She didn’t understand it. She had shown it to her father, who was also unsure, but she still practiced it. Sometimes she had an illusion that she could turn into water.

While her two brothers rested, she practiced again, and today her state was exceptionally good, experiencing a sense of Unity of Heaven and Man.

The Ice Handsome Man in the Upper Realm, who was practicing his sword, suddenly sensed something.

With one hand holding the sword, he waved the other, and it seemed a mirror appeared before him. The scene kept changing until it suddenly froze on Qi Wen.

He looked at the little girl practicing cultivation, frowning. She was indeed very young. Suddenly, with a point of his finger.

He saw the little girl’s body tremble, and sweat appeared on her forehead. However, he could see his own mark appearing on her forehead, which put his mind at ease.

Qi Wen felt as if something was constraining her, her forehead feeling especially hot. She felt very uneasy—could she be experiencing Qi deviation? But after just a few breaths, she felt a comfort throughout her body, even more pleasant than after advancing in level.

She thought it must be due to the cultivation technique, so she didn’t dwell on it and continued cultivating.

As dawn broke, Qi Yan and Qi Hong got up to cultivate as well.

After the siblings ate their fill, they put away the array plate and continued their journey.

In unfamiliar environments, Qi Hong led the way. He could communicate with the plants, so they weren’t worried about getting lost.

Now the demon beasts were already at the Third Rank. The siblings only engaged them if they met them head-on.

During the beast tide, they could handle Fourth-tier Demon Beasts alone, so it wasn’t much of a challenge now.

Suddenly, Qi Hong stopped. ”I sense something good. It’s just a bit far away.”

”How far is a bit far?” Qi Wen asked.

”I don’t know, but I’m sure we can find it.”

Qi Yan nodded, ”Let’s go; it’s not easy to come here. We shouldn’t miss this opportunity.”

With that, the siblings sped up, not engaging the demon beasts they encountered.

But by evening, they still hadn’t arrived.

”Big brother, Second Brother, we’re almost in the depths now. Could it be that the good thing Second Brother mentioned is at the very depths?”

Qi Yan also looked at Qi Hong, waiting for his answer.

”I really have no idea. But I feel we’re very close.”

”Aren’t we almost there? We’re nearly at the deepest point. If it’s not here, do we need to leave Wolf Tooth Mountain?”

Qi Hong felt a bit unsure when questioned. But his feeling was indeed like that.

”Today, let’s use the Fourth Order Array Plate; the demon beasts here are at a higher level, just in case something happens at night.”

Qi Hong and Qi Wen had no objections; today, Qi Yan was on night watch, and he was also practicing cultivation.

The Ice Handsome Man in the Upper Realm continued watching in the Water Mirror, also finding the two little boys interesting.

He could see their Spirit Roots, truly blessed by Heaven.

Unconsciously, his fingers performed calculations, his eyes narrowing. So they have such backgrounds, truly remarkable.

Given that, he decided to give them some protection as well.

Qi Yan, who was cultivating, felt the same discomfort as Qi Wen yesterday.

However, that discomfort quickly turned into an unprecedented comfortable feeling.

Even Qi Hong, who was sleeping, felt it, smiling in his dreams.

On the third day, the siblings went directly into the interior of Wolf Tooth Mountain.

Oh wow, the Spiritual Energy here was definitely denser than outside.

Qi Wen was the most sensitive to Spiritual Energy. ”Big brother, Second Brother, there are Spirit Veins below.”

Qi Hong was busy but heard his sister’s words, ”Even if they’re Wood Spirit Veins, we can’t extract them now.”
