From star gatherer to leader of humanity

The disguised gate outside the base slowly opened, and the magical spaceship flew inside.

Xu Bai, who had burned out, sat slumped in the control chair, while the spaceship was controlled by Xu Ai and Hakimi to enter the base.

A glass of chilled juice was handed to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai, belatedly realizing what was happening, picked up the juice and took a sip before coming to his senses.

"How long did I eat in that mine?" Xu Baixian asked.

"Three minutes," Xu Ai said.

"Let's go see the harvest."

At this moment, Xu Bai felt as if his mental energy had been drained. He stood up, feeling weak and powerless all over.

When Xu Bai released all the spirit stone ore from the spaceship's storage compartment, it immediately formed a small mountain of spirit stone ore.

The largest piece of spirit stone ore was like a thick slab of rock, resembling a wall.

Xu Bai stroked the raw spirit stones with both hands, feeling his whole body filled with power again.

"Master, shall I help you take inventory?" Xu Ai said.

Come on, let's do it together!

The spirit stone ores came in various sizes, and Xu Bai patiently sorted them into categories, taking a whole day to complete the process.

"Master, the total value of these spirit stone ores is approximately 832 million spirit stones." Xu Ai's face lit up with excitement as she blinked at Xu Bai.

At this moment, Xu Bai was rapidly calculating in his mind.

"Eight gold, three purple, two blue."

Looking at his harvest, Xu Bai suddenly had a happy problem: his attribute level had increased, but he didn't have a magic weapon that could be attached to such a high attribute.

And most importantly, he has become an unregistered resident, and he doesn't know how to spend these spirit stones.

Seeing Xu Bai standing there for a long time, Xu Ai couldn't help but speak.

"Master, what's our next plan?"

Xu Bai snapped out of his daze and looked at the several neatly arranged piles of spirit stone ore in front of him.

"Let's calm down and improve our strength first, at least until we reach the higher levels of Qi Refining before heading to that coordinate."

"It's a pity I don't have any Foundation Establishment Pills, otherwise I would break through to the Foundation Establishment stage before going to that coordinate."

After Xu Bai put the spirit stone ore into his storage bag, he took out the magical flying ship from the magic treasure compartment, placed the Myriad Soul Banner on it, and then released Xu Hun and all the other soul cultivators, transforming them into spirit weapons.

At this moment, Xu Bai suddenly felt the need to add another attribute to the magic item slot.

"We pay our respects to our master." Xu Hun led his many spirit soldiers in bowing.

"Go do what you're supposed to do~"

There was a special restaurant inside the cultivation grounds, and Xu Bai asked Xu Ai to prepare a large table of dishes.

At this moment, Livi, who was still cultivating, seemed to smell the fragrance. She walked out of the cultivation room and came to the restaurant, where she saw Xu Bai.

"Master~" Livi bowed her head in greeting.

"Sit down and eat with us." Xu Bai picked up a pot of wine, poured himself a glass, and casually said to Li Weiwei.

"Master, I dare not."

Whether among humans or moon spirits, there is a hierarchy of superiors and inferiors.

Standing behind Xu Bai, Xu Ai looked at Li Weiwei, her eyes flashing with a torrent of data.

"Xu Ai, move a small table for Weiwei and serve her some dishes." Xu Bai said, looking at Li Weiwei's delicate face. He wasn't a bad person, but he wasn't exactly a saint either. When it was time, he would eat. He was already one of them, so he wouldn't be treated badly.

"it is good."

After Li Weiwei took her place, Xu Bai also asked Xu Ai to sit beside her.

"Let's toast to the complete success of this project!"

Xu Ai picked up an empty glass, and Li Weiwei, who was sitting at the small table, also picked up a wine glass, looking bewildered.

What plan? What success? I didn't help my master at all? Am I really a useless piece of trash?

After a satisfying meal, Xu Bai arrived at the base's council hall.

Xu Bai sat in the main seat, Xu Ai stood to the side, and Xu Hun, Xu Yi, Xu Er, Xu San, and Xu Si sat in the secondary seats below.

"I called you here mainly to talk about our future path and whether your previous master had any information about the traitors," Xu Bai explained the current situation.

"Master, I know a little about the traitors. I heard you say before that the first traitors were from sects whose ideals conflicted with those of the Thirty-Six Immortal Sects," Xu Hun said after recalling for a moment.

"What kind of philosophy is it?" Xu Bai asked curiously.

"That's unclear. After the previous owner escaped from the Demon Abyss Sect, he tried to contact the traitors, but couldn't find a way."

"My master once suspected that the trading point was set up by traitors, but he never had the chance to make contact with it."

After hearing Xu Hun's words, Xu Bai stroked his chin.

"I've checked those coordinates. They're in the deepest part of the Shattered Star Sea. It would take at least a year to get there from the base. Such a long distance, and being located in the deepest part of the Shattered Star Sea, must be extremely dangerous."

"This year, you all must do your best to improve your strength. There will be no limit to the supply of spiritual energy and spirit pearls you need."

"Xu Hun, are you able to advance to the Golden Core stage within this year?"

"Cultivating in the Soul Path Minor Realm requires at least the spiritual energy equivalent to 20 spirit stones, plus the souls of ten Golden Core stage star beasts. With such resources, I am confident that I can advance to the Golden Core stage within a year," Xu Hun said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, I will also help you improve in other areas." Xu Bai nodded.

As for the Myriad Souls Banner, I'm reluctant to use the gold attribute, but I can make use of the purple attribute.

Afterwards, they discussed the detailed plan for a while before leaving.

Inside the portable spiritual energy room, Xu Bai, who was preparing to cultivate, suddenly looked at Xu Ai as if he had just thought of something.

"After a while, the news should get back. I wonder how things are going with my family."

"We have already begun the operation as planned, and we are absolutely certain that we will be able to secretly deliver the message to the master's family before the message arrives."

"That's good."

After Xu Bai finished speaking, he put down the aptitude dice in his hand and prepared to cultivate.

After the homemade die spun around on the ground a few times, the superior quality die faced up.

"Huh? My luck has turned around!"

Xu Bai suddenly felt a clarity in his mind. Although he had some doubts, he didn't waste any time and began to cultivate.

In the following days, Xu Bai threw out a series of high-quality items, the lowest of which were mid-quality.

Furthermore, it was awarded a Spirit-grade aptitude in the middle of the month.

"Has this a change of fortune?"

In just one month, with the blessing of superior and spiritual qualities, he actually cultivated to the perfect third level of Qi Refining, and his dantian expanded to 12,000 strands of spiritual energy.

Ten thousand strands of spiritual energy coalesced into a ball in the dantian, while another two thousand strands of spiritual energy surrounded this ball.

"Is my luck improving, or is it that my previous bad luck has given me a boost in fortune?"

Xu Bai rolled the aptitude die again, and this time he got a Spirit Rank aptitude, once again hitting the mark on his first try.

In that instant, with the blessing of his spiritual aptitude, Xu Bai returned to the feeling of roaming freely in the Great Dao.

With his aptitude at the third level of Qi Refining perfected, he broke through smoothly, and his dantian expanded by another thousand strands.

After doing all this, only half a day had passed. In the following half day, Xu Bai imbued the Soul Absorption Technique, Soul Nourishment Technique, Soul Enlightenment Technique, and Soul Weapon Technique with blue attributes and began to cultivate them, transforming them into four exclusive spiritual books in his mind.

Soul Absorption Spell Jade Slip - Attributes: Loyalty!
