Chapter 363 I'm fucking eating!
The next morning, when Orange and Keke woke up, they found that Lin You had disappeared, and the original open-pit gold mine had been dug into a large hole.

"He...he went into the mountains?"

Keke was dumbfounded.

Orange nodded: "It seems he's really obsessed with the metal elements here; it must be a huge boost to his power, right? But speaking of which, his soul power level is indeed quite low, only level thirty-five, right? If a soul master with that kind of talent were here, he could probably reach level sixty just by taking pills."

Keke nodded in deep agreement. The profession of Soul Master already kills countless brain cells every day by studying Soul Tools and Core Magic Arrays. And then there's the hard work of cultivating at night. It's so troublesome.

If it weren't for the fact that they needed to properly manage this large amount of Yuan energy through cultivation, otherwise they would easily explode and die, and without enough soul power, they wouldn't even be able to inscribe the core formation, they wouldn't bother to cultivate. It would be such a waste of an entire night. If they could use it for research, how much better would that be?

However, what Keke didn't know was that things really did turn out like this ten thousand years later. But then, Soul Masters gained another profession: Blacksmith. Haha, you didn't expect that, did you? Even in the interstellar age, they still need to forge iron. And that chaotic cloak technique from twenty thousand years ago is still shining here.

Back to the present, Lin You, who was being cared for by the two women, was currently cultivating slowly in a place where it was pitch black.

In fact, just yesterday, Lin You had already gone deep into the mountain and found the main gold vein.

He placed his hands on the rock wall and began to absorb large amounts of gold element energy from the surrounding area.

As the absorption continued, he could feel his soul power steadily increasing.

At the same time, all the metal-type soul beasts in the entire mountain range seemed to sense something and moved away from the area where Lin You was.

They could sense a powerful being devouring the energy source they depended on for survival, but this very aura prevented them from getting close.

three days later.

When Lin You emerged from the mountain, a satisfied smile was on his face.

Just like seeing a blue-eyed white dragon/electronic dragon/galactic-eyed photon dragon/conquering dragon with dragon cancer, it's satisfying, how should I put it, satisfying.

"You're back!"

Coco's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise, "How does it feel?"

"The power of this gold mine is so busy, it's really giving me a blast!"

As Lin You spoke, he couldn't help but want to rub his temples.

"I've absorbed almost all of the gold element energy from this mountain, but it's not enough, hehehe."

Ju Zi glanced at Lin You, who was making a strange laugh, and wondered if he had some kind of heavy metal poisoning and his brain had finally gone mad, but she still handed him a glass of water: "Has your soul power increased?"

"It has improved somewhat, but it is still far from enough."

Lin You took a sip of water and turned his gaze to another mountain peak in the distance. "I need more gold element energy."

"Holy crap, you're not planning to drain the entire Jingyang Mountain Range dry, are you? If so, I'll have to report you to the Sun Moon Empire and have you arrested for environmental damage and ecological destruction. You'd better bribe me quickly, or I won't be able to handle this," Keke asked half-jokingly.

Lin You smiled slightly: "That's not the case. It's just selectively absorbing the gold element. I don't need the other elements for the time being, so I'll keep them."

In reality, he secretly thought: "When I awaken some metallic elements like iron, chromium, or manganese, I'll come here for a feast. I'll eat the distant ones first, then the nearby ones. Even a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow."

Wait, if I really want to indulge in a big meal, there seems to be a better place?

He thought of a place.

deep sea.

Just thinking about the endless water resources there, which are pure combinations of hydrogen and oxygen, and more importantly, that eating too much of it won't damage the ecological environment—I'm kidding! In such a vast area, what difference would it make if the sea level dropped by a millimeter or two?

Over the next few days, Lin You began to explore the surrounding mountains one by one, and at each place, he would go deep into the mountain to absorb the gold element energy within.

Orange and Coco followed behind him, responsible for guarding and taking care of daily needs.

On the seventh day, as agreed, Ju Zi contacted the academy and applied for an additional seven days. After hearing that Lin You was undergoing special training, Xuan Ziwen not only approved the extension but also specifically instructed them to take good care of Lin You.

"Teacher Xuan seems to value you a lot. Indeed, comparisons are odious. Why didn't I receive this treatment back then? He even told me to come back soon so I wouldn't get kidnapped outside," Orange joked, then told Lin You the results of the communication.

"He said you can take as much time as you need, as long as it's safe."

Lin You nodded: "That's good. I feel like it will take a few more days."

Ten days later, when Lin You emerged from a mountain peak again, his aura was noticeably more solid.

Orange and Coco could even sense a faint metallic sheen emanating from him.

It's almost gilded, practically a Buddha.

"How much has your soul power increased?" Orange couldn't help but ask.

"I've leveled up from level 35 to 36, almost level 37," Lin You replied softly. "This is faster than I expected."

Keke's eyes widened in surprise: "You've leveled up more than one level in such a short time? You know, it usually takes at least three months for a Soul Master to go from level 35 to level 36!"

Lin You smiled but remained silent.

In fact, the reason his cultivation speed is so fast is mainly because he has an extremely high affinity for the metal element, coupled with the fact that the environment here is particularly suitable for him. Ordinary soul masters could not achieve such results even if they cultivated here.

On the fourteenth day, after Lin You absorbed the gold element energy from the last mountain peak, his soul power finally stabilized at level thirty-seven.

Although he only improved by two levels, this was an extremely impressive improvement for him, who had already reached a bottleneck.

"It seems we can head back now," Lin You said to Ju Zi and Ke Ke, who had been waiting for a long time. "Thank you for your company these past few days."

"Don't mention it." Orange smiled and shook her head. "We've learned a lot from witnessing your cultivation process."

See, that's what high emotional intelligence looks like.

If it were Keke, she would definitely say: "I've been traveling and having a great time these past few days."

Lin You looked at the undulating mountains in the distance, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful light.

These mountains are not ordinary mountains, but treasure troves rich in metallic elements. He only ate some of the outer small mountains, none of which were more than 100 meters high. The main ridge in the center was more than 2,000 meters high, and the nearby auxiliary peaks were also more than 1,000 meters high. There was definitely a lot to eat.

He would definitely come again if given the chance.

"Let's go back to the academy."

Lin You packed his belongings and set off on his return journey with the two women.

When they left the Jingyang Mountains, the metal-type soul beasts that had been frightened away by Lin You slowly returned to their territory.

However, these spirit beasts discovered that some of the energy they relied on for survival was no longer as abundant.

But somehow, they discovered that the entire surrounding area had been turned to gold.

Lin You: The gold element has not left you, but has accompanied you in a different way.

He was certainly not the kind of person who would drain a pond to catch all the fish. Although he had consumed the gold mine, he also used all his gold elemental power to infect as many nearby areas as possible. Over the past fourteen days, he had continuously depleted his soul power and replenished it to continue the cycle, which led to the shocking scene before him.

If he didn't have to rely on self-production and sales to generate no soul power, he could probably dominate his own destiny using this method alone, becoming a Soul Emperor one day and reaching his limit the next.

But that's okay, because there are still many things to eat and many places to go in this world.

If he were to visit the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, wow, that would be incredibly exciting!
