From star gatherer to leader of humanity

"The Moon Spirit Clan and the Human Clan do not have much deep-seated hatred."

"From now on, you'll be with me, and I won't be too harsh on you. Cultivate diligently, and it's not impossible that I can help you advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in the future."

Xu Bai drew a sweet and big picture for Li Weiwei, and a hint of gratitude appeared in Li Weiwei's eyes.

Even the lower levels of the Moon Spirit Clan didn't have it easy. Although they had spiritual energy to cultivate, other resources were controlled by the major forces within the Moon Spirit Clan. In the past, if Livivi wanted to obtain even a little bit of resources, she had to spend endless and tedious time mining.

Since being captured and brought to this strange base, she has had more free time and cultivation resources, which is much better than being a star gatherer on that mobile spaceship.

"Vivi is willing to stay by Master's side forever." Vivi lowered her head, her face flushed pink.

"I'm going to cultivate. You don't need to come with me. Find a cultivation room and cultivate as well."

The cultivation ground where Xu Bai was located was very spacious, enough to accommodate ten people for cultivation.

After that, Xu Bai began his arduous cultivation again.

He cultivates spiritual energy techniques and, in his spare time, learns the art of weapon crafting.

On this day, Xu Bai, who was resting, suddenly sensed through the Ten Thousand Soul Banner that Xu Hun had returned to the base.

"Master, the transaction was successful, and the journey there and back went smoothly."

The hatch of a small probe spaceship slowly opened, and fourteen boxes of spirit stones appeared in front of Xu Bai.

"Well done!" Xu Bai excitedly opened all the spirit stone boxes, his eyes shining as he looked at the 14 spirit stones, pondering their uses.

"It's all what I should do," Xu Hun said respectfully.

"Yes, I need to train hard at the base for four months. While you're training, you can also help cultivate the four secondary souls and teach them how to operate the magic weapon mining spaceship."

"When the opportunity arises in the future, we'll get a few more mining ships. You can stay at home and let the four spirit companions go out to mine."

Xu Bai felt it was a waste to just let Xu Hun pilot the spaceship out to mine; he should stay home and cultivate, making his strength grow stronger.

Upon hearing Xu Bai's words, Xu Hun hesitated.

"Just say what you have to say," Xu Bai said, seeing Xu Hun's conflicted expression.

"Master, back then we emerged from that torturous hell, and it was only through our talent that we managed to compete for the main soul and secondary soul within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."

"Actually, other vengeful spirits who have been transformed into spiritual cultivators can also go mining. After they become spiritual cultivators, their previous consciousness and memories have been restored; what they lack is only cultivation aptitude."

After listening to Xu Hun's advice, Xu Bai realized that he had overlooked an important point, so he gently waved his hand and summoned ten ordinary spiritual cultivators from the Soul Path Small Realm of the Myriad Soul Banner, and transformed them into spiritual weapons.

"Greetings, Master." The ten Qi Refining stage spiritual soldiers bowed to Xu Bai.

After the six men and four women transformed into spirit soldiers, they were given armor and weapons, giving them the appearance of celestial soldiers and generals.

"From now on, you will follow Xu Hun's instructions," Xu Bai instructed.

"Yes, ma'am!"

After arranging everything, Xu Bai returned to his cultivation grounds with the spirit stones.

With these 14 spirit stones, Xu Bai's mind started to stir. His primary goal now was to cultivate and improve his realm. However, the only thing that could help his cultivation was the "spirited vitality" attribute on the treasure robe, which could increase his spiritual power by 8 to 12 times. This could be considered as indirectly increasing his cultivation speed.

"This base has at least a gold attribute bonus, so does that mean my current training ground can have a lower-level attribute bonus?"

"Let's narrow it down further. Would a regular reiki chamber work too?"

"The Twenty-Five Cities of Shattered Stars have portable spirit chambers equipped with array plates!"

Xu Bai's eyes lit up. He had seen portable spiritual energy chambers in the magic item shop. Most of them could be installed inside spaceships, allowing the operator to cultivate while mining. However, they were quite expensive, usually costing more than 100 million strands of spiritual energy.

"If your aptitude is lacking, the only way to become stronger is by spending money!"

Thinking of this, Xu Bai couldn't wait to go back to Shattered Star City to buy a portable spirit energy room with a spirit gathering array plate.

"The sooner we get it, the better. We'll set off after filling the base with spirit ore."

Unable to contain himself, Xu Bai immediately made arrangements.

Five days later, the magic weapon mining spaceship returned to Shattered Star City 20, handed over the spirit ore, and received 3 million strands of spiritual energy after tax.

After disembarking from the spaceship, Xu Bai excitedly headed to the largest magic weapon shop in Immortal Path Street.

"Produced by the Heavenly Craft Immortal Sect, the Tengyun Third Generation Portable Spirit Energy Chamber comes with an evolution and spirit gathering array plate. It can be deployed in the Shattered Star Sea, saving half of the spirit stones for cultivation. The basic version has 150 million strands of spirit energy, while the deluxe version has 200 million strands of spirit energy, plus a spirit gathering and purification array plate with an efficiency increase of 20%."

A woman dressed in palace attire introduced the portable spiritual energy chamber in front of Xu Bai.

"Is there anything better?" Xu Bai estimated that he would spend less than 300 million strands of spiritual energy to purchase a portable spiritual energy chamber.

"Yes, it does, but it costs tens of millions. The materials and array plate are both of the treasure level. You can get a loan to buy it, but you have to pay half of it upfront."

The woman in palace attire led Xu Bai to the top floor of the Dharma Treasure Hall.

A box about one meter square appeared in front of Xu Bai.

"The Immortal Spirit Type II Portable Spirit Chamber is also a product of the Heavenly Craft Immortal Sect. It is an old model from a thousand years ago, but it is durable."

"It has a built-in cultivation AI that can guide your cultivation based on a large database. It also has an outer camouflage system, which, combined with super titanium black iron alloy material, can defend against attacks from Foundation Establishment beasts."

"The inner layer is engraved with the Starlight Purification Array, the Warm Pulse Wood Spirit Array, and the Ice Heart Array. As long as one does not cultivate top-level techniques and has sufficient spiritual energy, one can cultivate to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage."

"The price is 1400 million strands of spiritual energy. If you want to take out a loan, you need to pay at least half down payment, with a monthly interest rate of 5% and a maximum loan term of 10 years."

The woman in the palace-style dress looked at Xu Bai expectantly, her heart beating slightly faster. If this deal went through, she could earn at least 50 strands of spiritual energy.

"Pack it up." Xu Bai looked at the portable spirit chamber that automatically unfolded and folded, and realized that spending a little more money was worthwhile.

If the spiritual energy on your personal terminal isn't enough, just use spirit stones to make up for it.

Xu Bai easily placed the one-meter-square Immortal Spirit Type II portable spirit chamber into his storage bag.

Xu Bai didn't even go home. He just sent a message to Xu Ai on his personal terminal and then piloted the magical mining spaceship towards the base.

After the spaceship arrived near the base, Xu Bai did not return. Instead, he traveled tens of thousands of miles away from the base and activated the Qi Circulation Disc.

Under Xu Bai's expectant gaze, the "Good Fortune" option on the fortune wheel came to a steady stop at the pointer.

"A good omen!"

Xu Bai quickly took out a portable spiritual energy chamber and 60,000 spirit stones from his storage bag.

The spirit stone was absorbed and transformed into six blue attribute spiritual lights within the dantian, which were then all attached to the portable spiritual energy chamber.
