Ke Xiao didn't disturb Xia Li afterward. He took out a healing pill from his storage ring, swallowed it, then swapped in a healing technique and began treating his injuries.Nearly two hours later, Xia Li finally stood up from the floor and went to find Ke Xiao.In a room filled with holographic screens, Ke Xiao sat in a chair, staring at one screen and scrolling through sothing."Recovered? What's with the phase ring on your hand? I saw you pulling stuff out on the surveillance feed. That's not from this era, is it?""Wait... you have two?"Ke Xiao turned to look at the rings on Xia Li's hand. He wore one on his left index finger and one on his ring finger.One was the storage ring. The other was the mysterious dinsion-crossing ring."Got lucky and found two.""From that ruin, right? Looks like that's where your resources ca from too. Nice luck."Ke Xiao now had to admire Xia Li's fortune. When she'd sent him to blow up the mine, he'd happened to hit the shaft with a ruin, and he'd found treasures.But surviving disaster brings good fortune. For a mortal to survive a premature bomb detonation was already a sign of heaven's favor."I still have to thank you, Sis Ke. You're the one who assigned to Shaft Three.""As long as you know."Ke Xiao smiled but didn't press the advantage."Sis Ke, am I really that weak..."Xia Li still didn't know how many powerhouses existed on Earth. The one he'd encountered today had left him completely helpless.And what was worse...Before, facing Ke Xiao, his cultivation had been too low to sense anything. Now he could feel the powerful, pure spiritual energy within her.The Heaven Chip's assessnt of Ke Xiao's strength:Foundation Establishnt, but couldn't determine the exact level."You're not that weak. It mainly depends on what you're comparing to. He was fully chanized, specialized in firepower—a pure combat operative.""And you? You joined our organization. You're technical personnel. How strong did you expect to be?""Well..."Xia Li didn't know what to say."Earth has many cultivation traditions, each with different focuses. For example, sword Spirit Cores paired with sword Heaven Chips—with your seventh-level Qi Refining cultivation, you could use sword formations to kill him.""Martial Spirit Cores let you match chanized bodies with flesh and blood. Martial Heaven Chips can calculate blood and qi tides in real-ti, making every punch carry trendous force. You could punch through him.""The Eastern Islands' Yin-Yang Ninja Path may be a minor path, but it has its rits. Killing that chanized fighter would be just as easy.""As for the West... that's the true land of the chanized Path. You could control hundreds or thousands of drone bodies to form an army and crush him.""Is that what you want?"Ke Xiao asked Xia Li in return. Cultivation tradition was the path one should choose.Hearing about these branches, Xia Li couldn't help but feel excited. But he still didn't underestimate Hidden Wing.Because Earth's cultivation was about using technology to harness spiritual energy.Technology was the foundation of spiritual power."As for us... Divine Sense Hacking, Spirit Core interference, virus implantation. As long as the enemy has a Heaven Chip and Spirit Core, we have a natural advantage.""The Divine Sense Hacking you learned is just the basics. Your ntal power is too low. If it were sufficient, a single thought could paralyze their entire body."After Ke Xiao finished, Xia Li suddenly realized sothing.In the other world, cultivation traditions were mainly divided into three paths.Soul cultivation, body cultivation, qi cultivation.It seed Hidden Wing belonged to the soul cultivation path."I understand now. It's not that the road is too long—my legs are just too short."He hadn't even touched Hidden Wing's core yet. No...He hadn't even scratched the surface.

"Good that you understand. Any plans for what's next? Like how you're going to establish your foundation? You should be close.""What do you an 'how'?""Standard Foundation Establishnt—just break through when your realm is ready. Human-path Foundation Establishnt requires Empowernt Base Fluid, what ancient cultivators called Foundation Establishnt Pills.""Earth-path Foundation Establishnt requires refining at least one top-ten ranked Qi Refining spirit treasure.""Heaven-path Foundation Establishnt—after eting the above conditions, pay a large sum to connect to the Heavenly Dao Computer, letting it serve as your temporary Heaven Chip. The Heavenly Dao Computer will help you achieve Heaven-path Foundation Establishnt."Ke Xiao explained the different thods for achieving Foundation Establishnt at various strengths. The strongest was undoubtedly Heaven-path Foundation Establishnt.And it sounded...Not that difficult. Just needed enough spirit stones. Completely different difficulty from Heaven-path Foundation Establishnt on the other side.Over there, only those with transcendent talent could achieve it.One in ten thousand was a genius.One in ten thousand among geniuses was a prodigy.Only prodigies could achieve Heaven-path Foundation Establishnt—a one in a hundred million chance."I understand. I'll work hard."Xia Li thought he could absolutely aim for Heaven-path Foundation Establishnt."Human-path Foundation Establishnt would already be good for you. The base fluid is expensive, but our organization has it internally. Complete one D-rank mission or ten E-rank missions and you'll get one.""The difficulty of Earth-path Foundation Establishnt isn't anything else—top-ten natural spirit treasures are too rare, and competition is too fierce.""Heaven-path Foundation Establishnt seems like you just need to et Earth-path conditions, but it also requires sufficient ntal power. Otherwise, you can't handle the Heavenly Dao Computer's data flood, and your brain will instantly fry."After Ke Xiao finished, Xia Li felt sowhat discouraged, but still wasn't willing to give up.Top-ten spirit treasures—he should be able to get those in the other world.The key was how to improve ntal power."Sis Ke, how do I quickly improve ntal power?""Simple. Mining.""Mining? But I used to...""Not with your hands. With this."Ke Xiao pointed at her own head."I'll send you a special computation program later. When you have nothing to do, use your Heaven Chip to make your brain run data. If you're lucky and mine a data coin, one is worth a hundred spirit stones."Hearing this, Xia Li understood. So it was crypto mining—sothing that existed in the past. Not exactly new.He just hadn't expected the new era to still do this."So I really am fated for mining. Got rescued from a physical mining corporation by a digital mining organization, just to mine in a different way?"Xia Li was speechless."Mining isn't the point. Mine sothing and you make a little money. Don't mine anything and it doesn't matter. The main purpose is training ntal power. If we really wanted to mine, we'd use machines. Who specifically uses human brains?""Alright, got it."Xia Li nodded. Wasn't this just an alternative soul cultivation technique?"So how many spirit stones do you have left? Not going to buy a prosthetic arm from ?"Ke Xiao looked at Xia Li's empty right shoulder. His expression imdiately soured—he really didn't have many spirit stones left."Sis Ke, can I put it on credit?""Sure. Ten percent monthly interest, compounding.""That's loan sharking!"Xia Li thought he'd just given Ke Xiao ten spirit stones as a small tribute. Couldn't she just give him one for free?"Hehe, just ssing with you. Seeing as you'll probably have plenty of trouble ahead, co on. I'll hook you up with sothing fierce."
