Ye Tian hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "Since that's the case, I'll accept it."
The plane would take several hours to reach the provincial capital, so he held the Chaos Spirit Stone in both hands, absorbing its spiritual energy. Strands of spiritual energy entered his body through his hands and then into his meridians.
Ye Tian currently knew of twelve spiritual acupoints and began searching for the location of the tenth. He had a general idea of its position, but finding it still required some time.
About an hour later, the spiritual energy found an entrance. Due to the Human Immortal Tribulation, the previously solid and difficult-to-break spiritual acupoint wall had become very thin. Now, with a surge of spiritual energy, it was broken through in less than ten minutes.
A loud noise, like thunder, erupted from his body, startling Wu Zongnian. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Fairy Yue Hua replied, "No need to panic, Young Master is opening a new spiritual acupoint."
The spiritual energy from the Chaos Spirit Stone flowed into Ye Tian's body and then into the tenth spiritual acupoint. As the tenth spiritual acupoint opened, the other nine spiritual acupoints resonated in unison, as if welcoming the appearance of a superior. It was clear that the tenth spiritual acupoint would be the primary focus in the future, with the other nine serving as auxiliaries, and they had reached an agreement.
The spiritual energy was completely absorbed, and the translucent stone turned grayish-white and became heavy.
Ye Tian dropped the stone, feeling his body had recovered somewhat. He could now exert about ten percent of his strength.
Seeing him open his eyes, Fairy Yue Hua asked, "How do you feel, Young Master?"
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Old Li was right. If it were in the past, it would have taken me at least half a month to open this tenth spiritual acupoint."
Li Xuangui said, "The tenth spiritual acupoint, even I envy you."
Ye Tian replied, "Before the final step, I need to open more divine acupoints."
Finally, the plane landed in the provincial capital.
Ye Tian invited the group to the large mansion. It was early morning, and Wu Zongnian went to sleep first. Ye Tian then chatted with Fairy Yue Hua for a while.
This Fairy Yue Hua's original name was Su Lingxi, a disciple of the Lingyue Sect. This sect did not have many members, but their cultivation was very high. The one who injured her during her breakthrough was her junior sister, known as Fairy Yuya.
Ye Tian asked, "Fairy, have you met other Earth Immortals?"
Su Lingxi replied, "I know some, but we rarely meet. Earth Immortals are extremely wary of each other, and even those who are familiar rarely interact. If it's an unfamiliar Earth Immortal, the strong will hunt the weak, and it's full of bloodshed."
Ye Tian asked, "Have you fought with other Earth Immortals?"
Fairy Yue Hua sighed softly, "I was once chased, and the person's cultivation was higher than mine. Fortunately, I had some hidden means and managed to kill them."
Ye Tian remarked, "It seems cultivation is truly not easy. There are always people stronger than you, and you have to guard against others."
Fairy Yue Hua asked, "Young Master, when can my injuries be healed?"
Ye Tian replied, "No rush. You'll come back to Haicheng with me later. To heal your injuries, we'll need some things from there."
Fairy Yue Hua nodded and said, "Thank you, Young Master."
Ye Tian let her rest first, while he returned to the backyard to practice.
At this moment, Li Xuangui asked, "What, are you guarding against her?"
Ye Tian replied, "Old Li, what if I heal her, and she refines you? Wouldn't you suffer a great loss?"
Li Xuangui snorted coldly, "Don't worry, my realm is higher than hers, she wouldn't dare."
Ye Tian said, "Let's put this aside for now. I'll observe her further."
Li Xuangui replied, "That's fine, you decide. By the way, the Chaos Spirit Stone she gave you earlier is a legendary item. The fact that Fairy Yue Hua could produce such an item indicates her origin is quite astonishing."
Ye Tian was taken aback. "Astonishing origin? What do you mean?"
Li Xuangui explained, "I heard my master mention the Chaos Spirit Stone. This item is only found in Kunlun. She is very likely related to Kunlun."
"Kunlun? Mount Kunlun?"
Li Xuangui said, "Kunlun is a blessed land, a grotto-heaven. I haven't been there anyway. It's said there are powerful cultivators there with extremely high cultivation. This place is very mysterious, and anyone associated with it is definitely not simple. However, you've also gained a great advantage; the value of this Chaos Spirit Stone is immeasurable."
