Upon hearing this, Xu Ning hurriedly looked up and imdiately saw that although the dark clouds in the sky were dissipating, at the last mont, they ford large characters before finally disappearing.
The Tribulation Cloud asked, "Rember?"
Xu Ning nodded. "I rember!"
Xu Ning possessed a photographic mory, so he morized the characters at a glance.
However, he didn't quite understand them and subconsciously turned back to ask, "What does it an?"
The Tribulation Cloud remained silent, seemingly afraid to speak, and flew straight down to Xu Ning's head, closing its eyes to rest.
Xu Ning frowned, roughly understanding the Tribulation Cloud's aning. It couldn't speak, seemingly because it was wary of sothing, and could only use the fleeting mont of the dissipating clouds to form characters to tell Xu Ning.
Xu Ning simply stopped asking and walked straight to the thatched hut under the cloud of tribulation. "Thatched hut, what's changed?"
The thatched hut imdiately replied, "Xu Ning, I can compress spiritual energy into spirit stones!"
Xu Ning asked, "How fast?"
The thatched hut said, "The speed depends on the size of my space. My current internal space is 42,000 cubic ters. Assuming one spirit stone requires 20 cubic ters of spiritual energy to compress, and after deducting storage space and the area you use, it's about 2,000 per day."
Xu Ning couldn't help but be surprised. "One spirit stone requires 20 cubic ters of spiritual energy? That ans the concentration of spirit stones is roughly 20 tis the concentration of air, right?"
The thatched hut said, "That also depends on the density of the concentration. So places have dense spiritual energy, so have sparse, and the concentration of spiritual energy in my internal space changes according to the amount of spiritual energy I store."
"I just calculated based on the current concentration of spiritual energy in the internal space. So in fact, the conversion rate between spiritual energy and spirit stones is even higher compared to the current situation in the cultivation world."
Xu Ning said, "In other words, as you store more and more spiritual energy, the speed at which spirit stones are compressed will be even higher, right?"
The thatched hut replied, "Yes!"
Xu Ning then began to calculate. More than two thousand a day, more than twenty thousand in ten days, sixty thousand a month, and three hundred and sixty thousand a year.
Thirty-six million in a hundred years, and three hundred and sixty million in a thousand years.
So theoretically, it would only take about three thousand years to upgrade to a spirit spring.
Of course, as the thatched hut's spiritual energy storage increased, plus subsequent upgrades, this ti would definitely be shortened.
Moreover, Xu Ning also had inco from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Currently, after deducting expenses, he had tens of millions of spirit stones in inco every hundred years.
Upgrading to a spirit spring was not far off.
At the sa ti, the spirit gathering array for the tribulation had also changed a lot. The speed of absorbing spiritual energy had increased again. In the future, it could be used in conjunction with the thatched hut to accumulate and compress spirit stones.

After packing his things and leaving behind his inheritance, Xu Ning headed towards the direction of the Azure Winter Mountains.
Next, of course, was to find a sect to hide in and slowly develop and plan.
With Xu Ning's current Foundation Establishnt cultivation, he could easily find a sect to hide in for five hundred years.
The reason he chose the Qingdong Mountain Range was, of course, because of its stability.
Other mountain ranges were prone to change, and so sects couldn't even last five hundred years.
Moreover, relatively speaking, the sects in the Qingdong Mountain Range were stable, and the spiritual energy inside was relatively rich, which would help with the accumulation and storage of resources in his thatched hut.
He arrived at a village outside the Qingdong Mountain Range and used the sa trick as before, transforming himself into a child and waiting for the sect to co and recruit disciples.
However, to Xu Ning's dismay, he waited in the village for five years without seeing anyone from the sect.
Helpless, Xu Ning changed his identity and went to another village to wait.
Another five years passed, and Xu Ning still hadn't seen anyone.
He changed his identity again and waited for another year, and finally, soone ca!
"Finally, I've waited for you! I'm so glad I didn't give up!" Xu Ning couldn't help but mutter to himself.
As usual, Xu Ning was recruited as a nial disciple.
The sect was called the Ancient Oriole Sect.
On the way to the sect, Xu Ning overheard the reason why he had waited so many years.
The main reason was that the villages outside the Qingdong Mountains had long been overrun by various sects. Previously, sect recruiters would go there every month.
Later, these places beca unpopular and were abandoned by disciples of other sects.
As a result, more than ten years had passed before the Ancient Oriole Sect's responsible cultivator finally rembered this area.
Xu Ning was speechless at this reason.
However, compared to going directly to the cultivation world, his thod was actually the best.
Mortals living in the cultivation world all had established backgrounds. Those with spiritual roots had already been recruited.
Entering through the mortal realm would easily arouse suspicion.
Therefore, entering through the mortal realm was the safest option, because it was common knowledge among cultivators that cultivators couldn't stay in the mortal realm for long. This effectively prevented most rogue cultivators from joining.
Therefore, disciples recruited from the mortal realm were the most trusted by the sects.
Upon arriving at the sect, Xu Ning was assigned to Flowing Cloud Peak, a peak reserved for Foundation Establishnt elders. His duties there were various chores.
After settling into his lodgings, Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, he could settle down. Now, he just needed to proceed step by step, gradually revealing his cultivation until he fully revealed his Foundation Establishnt cultivation and beca an elder. Then he could be assigned a peak and live peacefully for five hundred years.
"Let's start absorbing spiritual energy! But I'll go slowly for now!" Xu Ning said, rging his thatched hut into the servants' hut.
The hut said, "Xu Ning, you could actually set up a concealnt array to hide my absorption of spiritual energy."
Xu Ning replied, "I've considered that, but with so many people around, even a concealnt array would be too conspicuous. I'll set it up after I fully reveal my Foundation Establishnt cultivation and have my own peak."
For the next few months, Xu Ning imrsed himself completely in his role as a servant disciple.
His cultivation began to reveal itself over ti: three months, Qi Refining Level 1; six months, Qi Refining Level 2; and in the first year, Qi Refining Level 3.
In a year, Xu Ning had beco very popular among the various servants.
This was naturally due to Xu Ning's sociable nature. After all, in his eyes, these servant disciples were all potential spiritual roots for leveling up.
After a year of observation, Xu Ning had a general understanding of the situation at Flowing Cloud Peak.
The peak master of Flowing Cloud Peak was nad Gu Zhuoran, a mid-grade Foundation Establishnt cultivator with a high chance of reaching Core Formation.
Gu Zhuoran had four disciples. His eldest disciple had died many years ago. His second disciple was in seclusion year-round, and Xu Ning hadn't seen him in the year he'd been there.
His third disciple, An Lanxin, and his fourth disciple, Dang Xueqing, were two sisters who didn't get along and frequently fought each other.
Therefore, they divided all the nial disciples on Flowing Cloud Peak into two factions, which then engaged in open and covert struggles.
Xu Ning's cultivation was initially low, and neither faction looked down on him.
Xu Ning often secretly rejoiced, thinking, Let them fight! Let them fight! It would be best if they killed a few so I could send them away and acquire their spiritual roots faster.
However, on this day, Xu Ning returned to his thatched hut and was dumbfounded.
