C17 Ling residence's eldest young master
Some of the servants' faces twitched — this young master was truly talented. He had become so powerful, but why was his brain still so stupid?
The dignified eldest young master of the Ling Residence actually did not allow servants to bring buckets to bathe and change clothes. He actually came to the pond to bathe in broad daylight. Moreover, he hadn't ordered the servants to prepare some clothes for him in advance, so now that he had attracted so many people to watch, it was rather embarrassing …
No matter how good one's martial arts was, one's brain was still insufficient. Several servants were muttering in their hearts, but none of them dared to show it on the surface.
Several men rushed to Alec's room, racing to get his clothes.
Alec was now the number one young man in the clan. Even though the servants were complaining in their hearts, they did not dare to show it on the surface. He even wanted to show his face in front of Alec, hoping for the appreciation of the winner.
After changing his clothes, Alec ignored the servants and ran into the room. Those stinking, sticky substances on his body just now should be the impurities that the cells remove. He urgently wanted to know, after refining his body, what effect it would have on his body.
As he closed the door, Alec started to observe. The skin on his arms and body was as smooth as jade without the slightest blemish, giving off a gentle luster similar to jade.
Alec now felt full of energy, full of strength!
Raising his fist high in the air, Alec used forty percent of his strength to smash into the heavy table made of crystalline steel.
Crystal steel wood was a type of wood that originated from the depths of the Kunrin Mountains. It was known for being as hard as iron and as sturdy as iron. Therefore, some aristocratic families often used it to make furniture.
Things made from crystal steel would not rot for hundreds or even thousands of years. From this, it could be seen how solid and sturdy it was.
Alec lightly punched it, and it broke into pieces and fell to the ground with a "Pfft, pfft, pfft!" sound.
Like an ordinary piece of wood, Alec looked at his hands with glee. Not bad, not bad at all! I did not suffer for such a long time in vain!
Alec knew that according to the material and thickness of this table, cultivators below the seventh level of the Spirit Condensation realm would have to use all of their strength, including their spiritual power, to completely shatter this table. Only cultivators at the ninth level of the Acupoint Charging Realm or higher could completely destroy it without the aid of spiritual energy.
Alec had only used 40% of his power, and he hadn't poured even the slightest bit of his spiritual force into his body. With just the physical strength in his body, he was already comparable to a Acupoint Charging Stage Nine or higher cultivator.
If he used all his strength, even a Acupoint Charging Stage Level 9 cultivator's physique would be incomparable to his.
Alec nodded with satisfaction and laughed. He still looked thin, but only he knew how much power was hidden beneath his thin body.
On the path of cultivation, raising one's cultivation was very important, but the strength of their physique was also very important.
Alec's tough body played an important role in the fight against the Golden Horned Purple Winged Python, Bai Jingping, and Hu Yingliang.
In the battle with Bai Jingping, Alec had used the dodging talisman to block the full-powered attack of an Acupoint Charging Stage Level 8 cultivator. If it were a normal Acupoint Charging Stage Level 2 cultivator, they would have already died from their injuries.
However, Alec's body was extremely strong, far beyond what ordinary cultivators could compare to. After resisting this move, he only suffered some serious injuries and didn't fall to the ground. This way, he would be able to launch a powerful attack on Hu Yingliang, who was at the eighth layer of Qi Condensation.
However, Alec's body was now even stronger. If he used his current strength and spiritual power to resist Hu Yingliang's attack, Alec believed that he would be able to withstand the attack even without the dodging talisman. Even if they were slightly injured, it would still be much lighter than last time.
Alec didn't expect his body to be so tough after being in the cauldron for such a long time.
Even so, for the time being, Alec did not want to go back in. The torture he was going through inside was unimaginable and extremely painful!
Alec was still scared, and his whole body was still aching. If he had not been mentally prepared and hastily entered, not only would he no longer have the effect of refining his body, but he would also be in pain.
Alec now understood why there was no time limit for this skill.
How long did he stay in the cauldron this time? It felt like hundreds, tens of thousands of years. Perhaps it was out of vanity, Alec wondered. Because under such painful circumstances, the longer one was able to endure, the stronger one's willpower would be.
"Master, you stayed in the cauldron for a total of twenty minutes." Fantasy flew out from the cauldron, reminding him in time with understanding.
"What?" It's only been twenty minutes! " Alec's eyes widened in disbelief. In his mind, perhaps hundreds of years or even tens of thousands of years were too exaggerated, but a few days and nights were enough.
But now, this hallucination told him that he only spent 20 minutes inside …
Alec now knew what it was like to live through the years.
It was just a short twenty minutes, yet his body had undergone such rapid changes. It was truly amazing. The body tempering technique of the Universe Mother Cauldron was indeed a good thing. It wasn't in vain that he suffered so much.
Alec sat cross-legged on the bed. He would not enter the Mother Cauldron to refine his body for a short period of time, so he decided to continue cultivating his spirit energy and absorb all the effects of the rank 4 elixir he had taken last time.
However, the moment he started meditating, Alec was shocked to discover that his body was completely empty, no longer possessing the medicinal powers of a Tier 4 spiritual herb!
Three days, he actually only used three days to completely absorb the medicinal strength of a Grade 4 Elixir! This speed could only be described as terrifying. Alec was surprised. Under normal circumstances, this would take twenty days to a month.
"Master, it's not three days, it's forty minutes." Huan Huan wagged his snow-white tail, reminding them in a considerate manner from the side.
Forty minutes...
Alec was stunned.
Good boy, today's scare came one after another!
Looking at Alec's expression, Fantasy smiled mischievously.
After a while, Alec finally came back to his senses. He gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "Alright, I'm a country bumpkin. I've never seen anything like this before."
"Heh heh." The two small red claws of the illusion covered its mouth as it gloated while laughing.
In fact, it was not just Alec. If it was anyone else in the Mystical Continent, they would not have been able to accept it – in a short twenty minutes, their physique would be so strong. In a short forty minutes, as a cultivator at the second level of the Acupoint Charging Stage, he had used up all the medicinal effects of the Tier 4 Elixir.
All of this would be unthinkable.
Thankfully, Alec was able to accept this fact, and now he had completely accepted it.
Calming his mind and restraining his energy, Alec began to meditate and cultivate.
After this rapid cleaning and metabolism, the energy in the cells is extremely scarce. With the help of the broken Baihui Acupuncture Point, Alec continuously absorbed the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Once the Yuan Qi entered his body, it was immediately crazily swallowed by the surrounding cells, as if it was thirsting for food. The land that seemed to have been arid for a long time greedily absorbed this sweet rain. The cells that were originally shriveled and scarce gradually began to fill up …
While Alec was focused on his cultivation, the mine that he had found in the Kunrin Mountain Range was almost ready to be mined after a period of intense preparation.
The exact type of ore would soon be revealed.
Before one could mine a vein, a rather complicated preparatory work was needed.
For example, the mine that Alec had discovered was located in the Kunrin Mountains. The first thing he had to do was to open up a path, allowing large and small vehicles and tools to pass through.
Secondly, it was located in the mountain range where magical beasts roamed rampant. It required a special squad to clean up the nearby magical beasts.
Once again, when they arrived at the hill where the Heartless Grass was, they would have to place an account with An Peng. Then, they would choose the most suitable location and dig their way into the ground, carrying out fortifications so as to facilitate future mining.
After twenty days of intense preparation, everything was finally ready for mining.
Vidala was excited. It had been five or six times since the fortifications had been inspected, and this vein was of great importance to the Vidara family.
Because of Alec, the family had grown in power, and the Vidara family had been ostracized. Their business had suffered some setbacks, and Alec's family was slowly surpassing the Vidara family.
Vidala was extremely anxious. This vein might become an important weight in turning the situation around.
Although the Alec and Vidara families would split the profits evenly after the mining, the huge share of a single vein was several times more than the profits of the family business.
Now, although the Alec family was earning more and more money every day than the Vidara family, Vidala believed that if the mine ever came into being, it would change the Vidara family's disadvantage and greatly weaken the Alec family's advantage.
Not only that, but with the money, the Vidara family could expand all kinds of businesses and increase the Vidara family's total income. There were still two ways to determine who was the boss of Qingfeng Town.
Therefore, this vein would become a crucial factor for the Vidara Family to overtake Alec's family, and once again become the main force of Qingfeng Town. The Vidara family was not nervous.
The Li family's Li Zhenting and Vidala's thoughts were exactly the opposite. Although the Zhang and Li Family belonged to the alliance, they only belonged to the discord between their hearts.
Now that the Vidara family was able to reap such huge benefits, Li Zhenting was not only unhappy, but also very jealous.
This was because once the Vidara Family truly had this mine, they would definitely be in the limelight. In the future, their strength would far surpass that of the current Li family. The Four Great Families divided Qingfeng Town evenly. This was what Li Zhenting wanted to see. He didn't want the Aleck Family and the Vidara Family to become independent and leave the Li Family far behind. He didn't want the Li family to leave the stage of Qingfeng Town and completely become a vassal force.
Li Zhenting hoped that this time's mining would produce the most useless ore. This way, no one would gain any benefits, and it would still be the situation where the four families mutually restricted each other. Although the Alec family had temporarily gained some momentum, in the end, it was only for a short period of time, and not necessarily for a long period of time.
In contrast to Li Zhentai, Mu Xiao Ran from the Mu Family didn't have much of an opinion on this matter. He was still as carefree and carefree as ever.
However, it would be a lie to say that they didn't envy the Alec and Vedara families the slightest bit. However, the reason why Mu Xiaoran was so free and at ease was because her thoughts were different from Li Zhentian's.
From his point of view, since this mine had already appeared, it didn't belong to the Mu Clan. It would eventually belong to another clan. It would be better to let the Alec family have it than any other family.
If the Vidara Family and the Li Family obtained it, they would definitely go back and devour the Mu Family. But if the Alec Family obtained it, with their many years of friendship, at least he wouldn't harm them.
Therefore, with this thought in mind, the Mu Family was very calm. He had given the Aleck family a lot of help while the vein was being mined.
