From star gatherer to leader of humanity

Liu Ningsi stood at the door, took a deep look at Xu Bai on the balcony, and then turned and left.

The beautiful robot butler closed the door.

Xu Bai continued to eat skewers and drink beer on the balcony.

"I know many other methods like the one you mentioned, but so what? No one can disturb my resolve."

Xu Bai stayed on the balcony drinking and eating skewers until late at night before going back to his bedroom to sleep.

The next day.

Just as Xu Bai was about to go to Immortal Path Street to see what magical artifacts he could wear, his personal terminal suddenly received a loan notification.

"Four months later, the loan for the 9 million strands of spiritual energy magic treasure mining spaceship."

"..."

Xu Bai lost interest in the magic weapon instantly, hailed a service vehicle, and headed to the spaceport.

After the energy tank, ammunition tank, and nutrient tank were replenished, Xu Bai took off immediately.

Upon entering the Shattered Star Sea, the magical mining spaceship transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the base.

Four days later, an invisible stream of light arrived at this sea of ​​shattered stars, revealing the magical mining spaceship.

Inside the base, Xu Bai directly docked the magical mining spaceship inside, and had the mining robots begin to move the spiritual ore piled up inside.

As soon as Xu Bai entered the most luxurious residence in the base, he felt a pure spiritual energy.

"You know how to enjoy yourself." Xu Bai said, waving his hand to summon the main soul of the Myriad Soul Banner.

"How's the conversion going?"

Xu Bai sensed a trace of pure soul power emanating from the main soul of the Myriad Soul Banner; it was a soul power without any impurities.

"Master, I have begun cultivating the techniques bestowed upon me by the Soul Dao Minor Realm. In at most another month, I will be able to recover to my peak strength," the main soul of the Myriad Soul Banner said respectfully.

At this moment, the main spirit of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was burly and 3 meters tall, wearing a set of azure armor, giving people a sense of solidity like a mountain.

"Did you have a name before?" Xu Bai suddenly had a thought.

These words seemed to awaken a long-forgotten memory in the main soul, a memory that was both sweet and fearful. In the end, the body couldn't help but tremble.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget the past. If you follow me from now on, I will never treat you badly."

"From now on, you will be called Xu Hun, and you will be in charge of the Soul Path Minor Realm for me," Xu Bai said solemnly.

"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Master!" Xu Hun bowed again.

"Go and cultivate, then lead your men and get these trivial matters done for me as soon as possible."

After collecting Xu Hun into the Myriad Souls Banner, Xu Bai began cultivating in Zhou Hu's training room.

Now, his white ink robe has the attribute of being full of vitality. No matter where he goes, his mental power can be increased by 8 to 12 times, so he no longer needs to stay in the spaceship to cultivate by relying on the attribute.

Before starting his cultivation, Xu Bai took out the jade slip containing the "Spiritual Qi Technique" and placed it between his eyebrows.

The image of that venerable old man reappeared in Xu Bai's mind.

"Not bad, your progress is faster than I expected. At your current pace, I can teach you some of the cultivation methods of the Spiritual Qi Technique." After saying this, the old man with the air of a sage began to teach Xu Bai the cultivation methods of the Spiritual Qi Technique.

It took Xu Bai a whole day to barely digest the cultivation method of the "Spiritual Qi Technique".

"Although you are not as talented, your heart is determined to pursue the Dao. Although the Spiritual Qi Technique is difficult for you, listen to my explanations and you will be able to master it in the future."

Feeling pleased with the praise, Xu Bai began cultivating the "Spiritual Qi Technique" in a cheerful mood.

Another day passed, and before his meridians and mental energy reached their limits, Xu Bai stopped cultivating.

"This time during cultivation, my dantian actually expanded by 30 strands of spiritual energy. Not bad!"

"Practice twenty times a month, and you can reach the peak of the first level of Qi Refining in four months. Then you can spend more time to overcome the bottleneck."

After finishing his cultivation, Xu Bai didn't rest. After recovering a bit of his spiritual power, he began to use it to inscribe the basic runes needed for refining weapons.

"If I stop mining in the future and want to get spirit stones, I'll have to start from this unorthodox method."

"With this cheat code in hand, I'll cultivate pills, artifacts, talismans, and formations!"

Using spiritual power as a guide, Xu Bai quickly inscribed a basic mental energy rune in the void with his mental power.

After that, the second basic rune was immediately engraved.

Xu Bai spent a month in arduous training.

Inside the ecological chamber of the base, Xu Bai held a cucumber in his hand, looked at the vibrant scene inside, and took a bite of the cucumber.

"Master, should we adjust the ecological chamber? Since you'll be living alone from now on, I suggest planting medicinal herbs in 70% of the space."

"Use the remaining 30% to plant some spiritual vegetables and grains, enough for the master's daily needs," Xu Hun suggested from behind.

"Sure, when I return to Shattered Star City, I'll see if I can buy some medicinal herb seeds," Xu Bai said casually.

"It's in the warehouse; it was left by the previous owner."

"That makes things easier~"

Stepping out of the ecological warehouse, Xu Bai looked at his base, which belonged to him alone, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind: he wanted to try to add attributes to this base.

Xu Bai squatted down, placed one hand on the alloy floor of the base, and took out 1000 spirit stones from his storage bag with the other hand, which turned into green attribute spiritual light.

When Xu Bai tried to activate the green attribute spiritual light in his dantian, it remained completely still, and an explanation appeared in his mind.

"Large objects must at least have the gold attribute!"

"One million spirit stones! Forget it, I'll wait for another opportunity!"

Xu Bai took a stroll around the base to clear his head before piloting his fully loaded mining spaceship back to Shattered Star City 25.

He still needs to pay off his loan within four months this year.

Therefore, Xu Bai plans to go back twice within four months to gather enough spiritual energy to repay the loan in batches.

In the twenty-five cities of Shattered Star, the fully loaded spaceships unloaded their cargo and docked at the public spaceport.

Xu Bai looked at the spirit ore, which was worth 6.7 million strands of spiritual energy, but in the end only 3,015,000 strands of spiritual energy were given to him, and he felt dissatisfied.

But there was nothing we could do.

On the food street, Xu Bai sat in a noodle shop, eating noodles while watching the passersby through the window.

Xu Bai felt that he couldn't stay in the base to cultivate all the time. He needed to go back to Shattered Star City occasionally to see people, otherwise his cosmic claustrophobia would worsen and he would easily become unstable.

Just as Xu Bai was eating noodles and watching the passersby, he suddenly sensed something unusual in the sky; a five-colored light swept across his face.

Xu Bai looked up and discovered that it was a spaceship that was a hundred meters long, luxuriously decorated, and coated with a rainbow color.

"The guild leader is back. Our Shattered Star City is going to be lively now."

The noodle shop owner stood not far away, watching the rainbow-colored spaceship in the sky.

"Boss, tell me, what's all the fuss about?" Xu Bai asked curiously while eating noodles. Judging from the rainbow paint job, he knew without a doubt that it belonged to the leader of the Kao Shan Gang.

"Our gang leader has three good qualities: First, he loves to fight. No matter what level his opponent is at, as long as it's an exciting battle, he enjoys watching it."

"The second thing he likes is rare items. As long as there is something precious that catches his eye, he will definitely buy it at a price higher than the market price."

"The third best person is extremely fond of those with high comprehension and combat talent, and is very generous in recommending them."
