From star gatherer to leader of humanity

At the moment the spaceship was struck, Xu Bai felt a numbing sensation that struck his very soul.

Then I felt my soul begin to burn, accompanied by a burning smell.

"I……"

Xu Bai dared not cry out in pain, nor did he dare stop to recuperate. He could only keep urging the spiritual power engine of the mining spaceship to escape this area as quickly as possible.

The magical mining spaceship's spiritual power engine was running at its maximum, consuming a large amount of Xu Bai's spiritual energy almost every second.

With Xu Bai's current dantian capacity, it can only support him for a maximum of 30 breaths, and the speed at which Xu Bai normally absorbs spiritual energy is far less than the speed at which he consumes it.

This forced Xu Bai to absorb excessive amounts of spiritual energy at the cost of damaging his meridians in order to maintain the consumption of the spiritual power engine.

Xu Bai was now consuming bottles of the Spirit Vein Pills that he usually couldn't bear to use. His spiritual veins were being protected by a gentle power, but it could only alleviate the pain in his spiritual veins to a certain extent.

"You only have one day. If you can hold on, you live; if you can't, you die!"

Xu Bai's eyes revealed a resolute determination as he stared intently ahead, rapidly maneuvering the spaceship.

Five hours later, just as Xu Bai was about to reach his limit, the magic weapon mining spaceship flew out of the thunderstorm area.

The Electric Glowing Serpent roared furiously at the mining ship at the edge of the thunderstorm area, but no matter what, its anger did not fly out of the thunderstorm area.

Xu Bai slumped in the control chair, listless and barely breathing.

Although the extremely unlucky attribute effect had not yet ended, Xu Bai had a feeling that his bad luck was over.

Using his last bit of strength, Xu Bai summoned the main soul and four secondary souls of the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Protect me~"

After Xu Bai finished speaking, he fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Bai didn't know how long he had slept. When he regained consciousness, he felt sore all over, as if his meridians had been filled with magma.

I felt my dantian, and it was completely empty, without a trace of spiritual energy.

Xu Bai picked up the last remaining spirit pearl scattered to the side, slowly absorbed the spiritual energy, and waved his hand to put the main soul and the four secondary souls into the Myriad Soul Banner.

"This kind of injury will take at least five days to recover."

Absorbing spiritual energy, the energy transformed into nourishing energy within the dantian, circulating throughout the body, slightly relieving the aches and burning pain in the meridians.

Five days later, feeling fully recovered, Xu Bai turned the Qi Circulation Disc again.

Perhaps because he had already experienced so much bad luck, Xu Bai was completely oblivious to this latest misfortune.

The pursuit by the Nascent Soul stage-level alien beasts, coupled with the presence of chaotic gravity, left Xu Bai completely unfazed.

Having endured another day of misfortune, Xu Bai turned the Qi Circulation Disc again, a faint sense of anticipation in his heart. As long as it wasn't absolutely the worst luck, he could accept it.

As Xu Bai's heart raced, the "Good Fortune" option stopped at the pointer.

Xu Bai's excitement faded slightly.

"That's acceptable too~"

In the lounge, Xu Bai washed his hands three times.

"Give me one... no, give me three good attributes!" Xu Bai took out the Myriad Soul Banner, one purple and two blue, with three attribute lights covering it.

This time, Xu Bai didn't close his eyes, because with good fortune coming his way, his attributes must be pretty good.

Under Xu Bai's expectant gaze, an attribute panel appeared before him.

Treasure Artifact: Myriad Soul Banner - Attributes: Soul Path Minor Realm [Absorbs souls within the Myriad Soul Banner, purifies resentment, and transforms them into soul cultivators who can cultivate within it.], Soul Transformation into Spiritual Weapon [Souls within the Myriad Soul Banner can transform into spiritual weapons to fight for their host (strength depends on the host's spiritual energy input)], Hundred Techniques of the Soul Path [Spells cast by souls within the Myriad Soul Banner are amplified in power.]

"That's a great combination!"

Xu Bai entered the Ten Thousand Soul Banner with his mind. He thought it was still a dark soul space, but he ended up in a world full of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

This world is beautiful and sunny. The vengeful spirits that were trapped in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner are now basking in the sun in the garden, and the resentment emanating from them is being slowly purified.

"Master, this special world... can actually purify vengeful spirits and solidify their souls. I even feel like I can cultivate within it!"

The main soul of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner knelt excitedly before Xu Bai, his voice filled with overwhelming emotion.

"They're just petty tricks."

"Come and test how powerful the newly revamped Ten Thousand Soul Banner is."

Xu Bai withdrew his thoughts and waved his hand to summon the main soul of the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Master, I haven't fully purified myself yet, and my strength hasn't increased."

"However, it is foreseeable that once the resentment in my body is completely purified and I become a soul cultivator, my strength will reach a new level."

At this moment, the main soul of the Myriad Soul Banner had completely solidified, and the aura emanating from it was still somewhat chilling.

"Furthermore, soul cultivators can use magic weapons to replace their master in controlling mining ships, but they need to consume spirit pearls when they are out in the field for a long time."

Xu Bai remained relatively calm upon hearing that soul cultivators could use magic weapons, but a look of joy appeared on his face when he heard that they could also control the magic weapon mining spaceship for him.

"Finally, I can escape the monotonous days of mining!"

"Go back quickly, purify the resentment in your body, and transform into a soul cultivator as soon as possible."

As Xu Bai spoke, he retrieved the main soul of the Myriad Souls Banner.

"With the 'Good Fortune' attribute, there are still more than 20 hours left. Don't waste it, let's mine the surrounding spirit mines first."

A month later, the spaceship, fully loaded with magical artifacts and mining equipment, returned to City Twenty-Five of Shattered Stars.

Looking at the list of spirit ore worth 500 million strands of spiritual energy, but only 225 million strands of spiritual energy after tax, the joy of the harvest faded from Xu Bai's face.

"From now on, mine less and cultivate more."

This tax rate led Xu Bai to decide that he would reduce his annual KPI for handing over spirit ore and spend more time on cultivation.

In the city of Shattered Star Twenty-Five, at night, Xu Bai sat on the balcony, eating barbecue skewers, drinking beer, and looking at the starry sky simulated by the array.

"If I have the chance in the future, I'll learn about formations too. I have a secret base, and I can't rely on others to set up and maintain the formations."

Just as Xu Bai was pondering, the doorbell rang.

This time, it was the beautiful butler robot who opened the door and invited Liu Ningsi to the balcony.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, please choose someone else. I really can't resist that kind of cultivation temptation." Xu Bai downed his beer in one gulp and looked at Liu Ningsi.

"500 strands of spiritual energy, not even once?"

"If you can resist the urge, fellow Daoist, after you advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, I can be your Daoist partner for a period of time," Liu Ningsi said, her face flushed and head bowed. Combined with the pink gauze dress she was wearing today, she appeared even more alluring than before.

"Forehead……"

"Why do you only recognize me, fellow Daoist?" Xu Bai paused slightly as he ate his skewers.

"It is truly difficult to find someone who matches my heart, and I cannot practice this kind of skill against my will."

"Fellow Daoist Xu." Liu Sining placed her delicate hand on her collar, intending to unbutton it.

"stop!"

"Although my will is not firm, my devotion to the Way is as solid as a rock!"

"Fellow Daoist Liu, what you're doing is going to corrupt my Dao heart."

Since reaching the Qi Refining stage, Xu Bai has been suppressing his desires, thus losing the slight chance of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.

With delicate hands, she loosened her gauze skirt, and it fell away.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I have a method that allows one to satisfy desires without losing one's virginity."

At this moment, Xu Bai was already dazzled by the pure white.
