Chapter 382: Interruption

His jaw was a bit sore. Hed had his mouth open for the last hour with his mouth pressed up against the side of a large gourd. The wood-like texture wasnt unpleasant, but his huge fangs were extended and folded over the edge of the Storage Gourd. Guan Zhenyan had visited him and forced another new poison into his body, merging it with the one already there. It took Sage the rest of that day and night to recover from the pain and after a bit of exercise to deal with the lingering effects he had started to produce poison. It was an uncomfortable task, but it was a lucrative source of income. With Guan Zhenyan still preventing him from walking into the city on his own, he had to take advantage of every money earning opportunity he had.

After collecting venom for an hour and a half, Sage finally pulled his mouth off the Storage Gourd and stretched his jaw muscles. Even as flexible and high ranking as he was, it was still uncomfortable to maintain the same position for so long. His huge cobra body rolled and undulated, slithering him around the room for a few laps to stretch out. Then he activated the Human Seal and returned to a more manageable size. Putting away the Storage Gourd he was finally ready to put his Spirit Cultivation into practice. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

The first step was the most difficult, just like it had been a shock to first form the island in his consciousness, reshaping it took a strenuous effort. The feeling was somewhere between getting adjusted by a chiropractor and having braces put in, except inside his brain. In short, not a fun time. Even so, compared to the weekly poisoning, it was childs play. Soon enough, the island in the center of his Spiritual Sea was now a perfectly round circle as large as he could get it. Since he already had a whole map drawn out of what he wanted his own Infinite Immaterial Seat to look like, it was far easier to create than he thought it would be. After following the method of manipulating Spirit Power laid out in the technique, it was really just a matter of time. He focused his Spirit Power and very slowly it condensed a sort of solid matter from out of the air inside his Spiritual Sea. At first, a piece the size of a tiny grain of sand took him nearly a minute to form. He kept with it, and as his skill with the technique grew, so did his speed. The little specks of matter combined together effortlessly and he used them to build the walls of his maze, starting first with a giant outer wall at the border of the island. After a few days, he could form a brick sized piece of matter in a minute, but at that point he had to suffer through another round of poisoning.

Sage kept at it and within a few weeks his speed was many times faster than before, forming a brick sized piece in only a few seconds. Hed made good progress, having laid out a basic outline for the maze, but at only a couple bricks tall. His training was suddenly interrupted.

Hey Kid. Come out. Its time to build our new money factory.

With another Heavenly Treasure in his hands, Sage didnt waste any time. Before Guan Zhenyan posed extra conditions or took it back, he quickly spilled some blood upon it and drew it into his Dantian. It entered the Life Nebula and rapidly zipped through the empty space until it touched down on the surface of the Inner World. It passed through the ground like it wasnt there and entered his Inner Core. It passed through that glowing wall and flew over to where the other Heavenly Materials were rotating around the Seed of Life sapling.

Just like the last few Heavenly Materials, when Sage started to meld with it, the Green Lifewaters will didnt fight against him. Instead it accepted him wholeheartedly. Almost immediately its power swirled into the Inner World and started to mix with the water that was powered by the Eye of the World. It wanted to have an equal distribution with the Eye of the World, but as the first one there, the Eye of the World remained dominant. Sage realized he had control over things, but he didnt butt in yet, instead just observing for a while. Then he withdrew his consciousness and smiled at Guan Zhenyan, A success.

Of course. If it wasnt, youd be a real disgrace as a holder of the Seed of Life.

Then the man pulled out a Storage Ring and tossed it out. Sage caught it in mid-air and was astounded by the mountains of resources inside. Guan Zhenyan spoke before he could ask, Lets start the mental link again, Ill guide you. It will be much faster than letting you stumble around and not set up the growing conditions properly. Dont object, each of those plants has its own ideal conditions for growing. Just think of it as a free bonus lesson.

When he put it like that, Sage didnt really have a reason not to agree. His consciousness sank into his Inner Core and connected with the small flower growing there next to the tiny tree of life. As before, he felt Guan Zhenyans presence, just like the man was looming over his shoulder. Then he flew up and out of the Inner Core again to overlook the Inner World. He pointed out Ruanfus settlement, the Hoplite Villages, and also the whole continent where insects ruled. Guan Zhenyan gave him a mental nod, Not too terrible really. Those Hoplites, as you call them, arent too terrible of an idea, but theyre unfinished products in my eyes. Move all those Hoplites into one spot for now, you can use them as your groundskeepers later, but they need to get out of the way for now.
