Chapter 86: Ultra-Luxury Innate Powerhouse

"Did a dog come in?" The Great Elder's face immediately changed. "What exactly happened?"

Elder Zhu said, "It was a big yellow dog, brought in by Tang Cai and Tang Bao."

Tang Cai and Tang Bao were already terrified, and they quickly knelt down, recounting the events in detail.

After they finished, the Great Elder nodded and said, "It's very likely that it was this dog. This dog might be a demon or could have brought someone in with some kind of spatial treasure! Afterward, the dog disappeared, and the entire cart of Eye-Washing Spirit Liquid also went missing. This can all be verified! It must be so!"

"Damn, who could this person be?" The head manager asked through gritted teeth.

The Great Elder said, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly. Tang Cai and Tang Bao, you deserve to die! Now, draw a detailed picture of the dog, and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, you will surely die!"

After a while, the two, trembling with fear, drew the image of the big yellow dog and added, "This dog was very obedient, and its fur was shiny and very special."

"Hmm..." Upon hearing this, the head manager's face changed, suddenly thinking of something.

"Could it be that kid..." The head manager had a suspect in mind, but he didn't say it out loud because he still didn't fully believe it.

...

In the Star Absorption Stone space, a vast area like a square.

Red clouds rolled and churned, and in the distance, a giant ape sat on the ground, not daring to come closer. The Black Cloud Purple Ape had been tortured by the Jade Green Silk to the point of near death and now knew fear. It wanted to stop the Jade Green Silk from attacking it, but without any pants, it couldn't defend itself.

For it, not wearing underwear was fatal.

Ding Hao ignored the giant ape. This creature was both stupid and clumsy, and there was no need to raise it. He had only taken it in to avoid inquiries about the red silk, and he didn't plan to keep it long-term. He would find an opportunity to release it later.

In the red clouds, the Nine Servants were talking to Ding Hao.

"Master, you are now at the peak of innate power, and you can enter the realm of Qi Cultivation at any time."

"The spiritual energy in your Sea of Qi can, at best, be called internal energy!"

"True spiritual energy is the force of spiritual fluctuations! Only by entering the Qi Cultivation stage can you truly become a Xian Master, marking the beginning of your path to immortality!"

Ding Hao sat cross-legged. Although he still had some reservations about the Nine Servants, it was clear that their perspective was very high, and their help to Ding Hao was indeed significant.

"Indeed, I haven't yet embarked on the path to immortality. I'm still in the kindergarten stage," Ding Hao nodded.

The Nine Servants said, "The foundation is extremely important! The quality of the foundation determines the height of a building!"

Ding Hao asked, "How is my foundation now?"

The Nine Servants replied, "Your talent and recent development are good, but you still lack something!"

"Still lack something?" Ding Hao's expression changed, and he took out the testing jade charm given by Min Qingqiu, saying, "I know it's not perfect yet. My body, meridians, and spirit are all lacking and haven't reached their peak!"

"No, no, no," the Nine Servants shook their head, "Among the body, meridians, and spirit, the most important is the spirit! A Xian Master without a powerful soul can never become strong! But the body and meridians are not as important! Do you know that at the Golden Core stage or even the Nascent Soul stage, you can even leave your Golden Core or use your Nascent Soul to defeat enemies! The role of your body becomes much smaller, and you can spend time and resources to refine your immortal body! As for the meridians, they are just channels for transmitting and using spiritual energy. In the future, when your body is no longer useful, the meridians will be even less so!"

Ding Hao was taken aback. According to Min Zhengyuan's theory, the body, meridians, and spirit were extremely important. But in the eyes of the Nine Servants, these were nothing and would all be discarded in the future.

However, Ding Hao still trusted the Nine Servants because they had a higher perspective, while Min Zhengyuan was only at the Qi Cultivation stage, which couldn't compare to the Nine Servants.

"Then, what do you think is the most important?" Ding Hao asked.

The Nine Servants' answer was only two words: "Sea of Qi!"

"Indeed." Ding Hao nodded again, impressed by the Nine Servants' broad perspective.

The Nine Servants said, "As your cultivation improves, your Sea of Qi will become increasingly powerful! All your strength and future development come from here! If the human body is like a pill furnace, then the Sea of Qi is the furnace chamber where the most precious pills are produced! Your body is just a shell, which will be completely discarded in the future, but the Sea of Qi is the only thing that remains unchanged, even when you ascend to the immortal realm!"

"Indeed, that makes sense." Ding Hao listened with great interest and asked, "Then, how can I improve my Sea of Qi now?"

The Nine Servants said, "Your original core is very large, so your Sea of Qi far exceeds that of ordinary people. I want to help you create a perfect Sea of Qi!"

"Perfect Sea of Qi?"

"Exactly, a perfect Sea of Qi!" the Nine Servants said, "Don't think that just because your Sea of Qi is larger than others, you are something special! There are too many strong people in this world, and even more with excellent talent! Those with Dao bodies, Immortal bodies, and even Supreme bodies, their Sea of Qi and talent are a thousand or ten thousand times better than yours! A thousand small worlds make up a small thousand worlds, a thousand small thousand worlds make up a medium thousand worlds, and a thousand medium thousand worlds make up a large thousand worlds! The so-called Three Thousand Worlds are the large, medium, and small 'thousand' worlds, totaling a billion worlds! Think about how many incredible strong people there are. Your talent is nothing compared to them!"

Although the Nine Servants usually spoke in a gentle and refined manner, they could also use coarse language when excited.

However, Ding Hao was also shocked. With a billion worlds of various sizes, the number of people and races was unimaginable, and the number of geniuses was like a sea of cattle! In comparison, his talent was nothing.

The Nine States world was just one of the smallest small worlds among the layers of worlds!

Geniuses in small worlds, if placed in small thousand worlds, medium thousand worlds, large thousand worlds, or the Immortal Cultivation World, would be nothing!

Hearing this, Ding Hao's once enthusiastic heart calmed down, and he said, "The outside world is too vast and mysterious, making me feel truly insignificant. Nine Servants, tell me what to do now."

The Nine Servants said, "There is still a month before the imperial examination. I want to help you create a perfect Sea of Qi, bringing you to the highest state of innate power, which is the peak of the ancient era. You should know that the peak of innate power, including the ninth stage and the peak of innate power, is not the best state. This is the highest point ordinary people can reach, but you are meant to be a true top genius. You cannot be content with comparing yourself to ordinary people!"

Ding Hao was shocked and said, "Above the peak of innate power, there are still higher levels?"

"Exactly!" the Nine Servants said solemnly, "That is the peak of the ancient era, also known as the Supreme Innate or the Invincible Innate!"

"Supreme Innate! Invincible Innate! Peak of the ancient era!" Ding Hao almost fell to the ground, "Oh my, is it really that powerful!"

However, this was not all. The Nine Servants continued, "I have calculated the time, and it might be too late. Besides creating a perfect Sea of Qi and reaching the Supreme Innate, I have another idea. You have dual Immortal roots, each corresponding to a Sea of Qi. Your Star Absorption Immortal root is not being used at all, so I also want to help you create a dual Sea of Qi!"

"Supreme Innate, and a dual Sea of Qi!" Ding Hao almost fell to the ground, "Brother, this setup is too luxurious, too extravagant, it's insane!"

According to the Nine Servants, the most important aspect of a perfect Sea of Qi is not its size but its boundary! An ocean without a shore has no power, and a puddle on the ground is always powerless. Only when water is accumulated in a basin and then poured out does it have great power!

The reason people today cannot reach the peak of the ancient era is that they do not know how to refine the Iron Enclosure Mountain in the Sea of Qi!

"Refine the Iron Enclosure Mountain in the Sea of Qi?" Ding Hao asked curiously, "How do you refine it, with a cultivation technique or a refinement method?"

The Nine Servants said, "Beyond the world is the Iron Enclosure Mountain! The human body is a small world, so the area around the Sea of Qi can only be truly powerful by refining the Iron Enclosure Mountain! However, the Iron Enclosure Mountain in your body does not require materials but a special kind of spiritual energy!"

The spiritual energy the Nine Servants needed was not ordinary spiritual energy but certain high-quality spiritual woods. After Ding Hao and the Nine Servants studied and selected, the Nine Servants finally determined it to be the Gangti Bao Lian!

The Nine Servants said, "People only know to use the Gangti Bao Lian to refine their bodies, but in my view, this is foolish and a waste of a precious resource! The Immortal Gangti energy in the seeds of the Gangti Bao Lian is perfect for refining the Iron Enclosure Mountain in the Sea of Qi!"

"Gangti Bao Lian." Ding Hao could only smile bitterly.

The Gangti Bao Lian belonged to the Qian family's business, and this time, he couldn't steal it like he did with the Eye-Washing Tree Spring. This time, he had to buy it, and the cost would be enormous!

Does Ding Hao have money now?

Of course, he does. He had obtained nearly a hundred small gourds from the Tang family's business, all filled with Eye-Washing Tree Spring! These were all money, a huge fortune!

Even more valuable was the impurities in the spiritual energy he absorbed from the Eye-Washing Tree Spring, which were the essence of the Eye-Washing Tree Spring, in large quantities! Of course, when diluted with water, the effect might be weaker due to the loss of spiritual energy, but remember, the Tang family no longer produces Eye-Washing Tree Spring, so this diluted Eye-Washing Liquid still has a market!

With these as his capital, Ding Hao left Wuzhou again and headed to the Border Village.

Although he was already at the peak of innate power, he was still very cautious. He had already felt his insignificance, and in the outer realms, those Xian Masters could easily kill him at any time!

He had also offended many Xian Masters, so he had to be careful.

Upon arriving at the Border Village, he put on a black cloak, then found a place to put on the Secret Cloud Jing's human skin mask, and only then did he leave the Border Village.

After leaving the Border Village, he encountered a group of merchants, all of whom were at the middle to late stages of innate power. Ding Hao mixed in with them.

"Hey, did you hear? The Tang family's business has stopped selling Eye-Washing Spirit Liquid, and the price has skyrocketed. I want to stock up this time."

"I think you should be careful. If you buy at a high price and they suddenly start selling again, you'll be in big trouble."

"Pfft, I have the latest news. The Eye-Washing Tree Spring of the Tang family is sick!"

"Is that true..."

"I also heard that the Eye-Washing Spirit Liquid of the Tang family was robbed..."

Listening to the merchants' conversation, Ding Hao followed silently behind, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
