All the men and women who were bathing in the spiritual rain had their eyes closed, enjoying the peace
of the moment.
Alex could understand why they had to take off their clothes now because they wanted their bodies to
absorb more of the spiritual essence. They wanted all the skin on their bodies to be exposed to the
spiritual rain, and wearing clothes would significantly reduce the effect.
However, compared to actual cultivators, their method could only be said to be wasteful.
They didnât have any foundation base in cultivation and didnât know how to absorb the essence
properly. The amount of essence that was passively absorbed through their skins was minimal. Most of
the essence from the spiritual rain scattered and drifted out of the palace, entering various parts of the
island. However, because of the force field around the island, it didnât drift over the seas.
Alex and the others retreated quietly and walked deeper into the palace. No one had noticed their
presence.
âWhatâs a spiritual vein?â Grant asked.
âYouâll know when you see it,â Alex replied because he had never seen one himself.
The entire palace had also been placed under layers upon layers of restriction formations and arrays.
For example, there was no magic formation other than the formation for the spiritual rain in the
outermost hall. Still, if one walked about a hundred meters from the hall, there was a formation that
restricted entry. Those who didnât understand the formation would try to break through it with brute
force.
âAlex, do you know about formations?â Yuno asked calmly as she glanced at Alex.
When Phoebe called his name, it was purely playful and in jest. However, when Yuno called his name,
it sounded completely different. It was like an old queen summoning a small eunuch to her side.
This made Alexâs heart break.
He nodded. âNo problem.â
The levels of these restriction formations were average, and he could easily crack the principle of the
formation using his Third Eye. After the formation was broken, he could enter the place as though it
was the back garden of his own home. It didnât take long before they reached the deepest part of the
palace and found the spiritual vein Yuno had talked about.
âHuh? Whereâs Grant?â Alex turned around and suddenly found that Grant had disappeared.
âThat guy is too useless. He took the wrong path somewhere in the middle and got caught by the
formation,â Yuno said. âDonât bother about him for now. We can fish him out later. Anyway, heâs just an
ordinary person, so it isnât like he would be of much help.â
Alex nodded.
The spiritual vein in front of them was in the depths of the palace under a small pool of water.
Above the water were carved beams and painted walls, and there were also twelve human-shaped
stone sculptures.
It wasnât a meaningless decoration, as every stone sculpture made up part of the formation. The
spiritual rain sprayed in the hall was inseparable from these stone sculptures. Each stone sculpture
held a container in its hands, and inside them was the highest concentration of essence.
âInside these containers is where the spiritual liquid is stored. The essence has been concentrated and
condensed into liquid form, and with the help of these formations, the spiritual essence in the liquid is
diluted. It will then shower those people outside with the spiritual essence.â
Yuno could tell it all with just a glance, the principle of the formation. âThis is a reward issued by the
sect to its disciples. Itâs a pity that those common people outside donât know how to utilize it properly.
Alex, absorb all the essence from within these containers, and if there is excess, find something to
store it in.â
After she said that, she added, âWith your capabilities right now, drinking one is the limit!â
Alex had already intended to absorb it since earlier on, but he still made a point to ask politely, âDonât
you want it?â
Yuno shook her head. âMy physical body right now is fragile, and it wonât be able to endure the effect
from such a high concentration of essence. The moment I drink it, this body will be useless.â
Alex didnât talk any more nonsense after that, and he grabbed a container directly and took a sip.
Immediately, a huge stream of earth energy surged into his body, spreading out through his limbs⦠It
was refreshing, as though all the pores in his body had relaxed, absorbing all the energy frantically. The
Force that was inside his body also automatically rose and started working.
He immediately took a second sip, then third⦠The entire container filled with essence had been
emptied into his stomach. This was a tremendous amount of energy in there.
Alex also felt that downing one container was already his limit with his capabilities. There was a burning
sensation in all the meridians within his body. If he were to drink anymore, he was worried that his
meridians would burst, and he would die.
