Chapter 1206: The Secrets of Cultivation

One had fallen, and another was severely injured and in recovery, so they were unavailable.

Amalia turned to the middle-aged cultivator, "And who might you be?"

"My name is Shao Jing. I’m also a cultivator, but my cultivation level is much lower than the two of you," the middle-aged cultivator replied humbly.

Before meeting Amalia and Kenny Lin, Shao Jing knew that there were cultivators in the universe more powerful than him, but their abilities were limited by boundaries.

After their appearance, he realized the infinite possibilities of the path of cultivation.

"What is an energy stone vein like?" Amalia asked.

Shao Jing immediately took out an energy stone and handed it to a nearby attendant, who then delivered it to Amalia.

"This is an energy stone."

Amalia recognized it instantly as a spirit stone, though its purity was not as high as that of the spirit stones from the Mystic Void Continent.

It still contained many impurities that could not be refined by machines.

However, the purity of this spirit stone was much higher than the ones circulating in the underground black market.

In her past life, Amalia had spent a long time searching for energy stones, but the purity of the ones she found was nowhere near as high as this, and their form was also quite different.

She tossed the energy stone back. "The members of the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth come to the Erythar Star System just to find these energy stones with the impurities, is that right?"

"Yes," Shao Jing replied, "but it is said that they have a better method to refine these energy stones, raising the purity of the spirit stones to over seventy percent. However, the energy stones are probably only one of their targets. They may have other purposes, but we don’t know what they are."

"Have you seen it?" Amalia stared at him.

Shao Jing nodded, "Yes, but it was at an auction years ago. Someone presented a piece with over seventy percent purity. The royal family later investigated and found it was made by a mysterious person. That person’s hand also bore the totem of the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth."

"What happened to that energy stone?" Amalia asked again.

"That energy stone was eventually bought by the royal family, and later, it was used by Prince Rasler," Shao Jing answered.

Amalia thought for a moment, then took out a spirit stone and tossed it to him. "Is this the same kind of energy stone with this level of purity?"

Shao Jing caught the spirit stone and immediately felt an incredibly pure energy emanating from it.

He had never seen an energy stone with such high purity—at least ninety-nine percent, possibly even one hundred percent.

"Is this an energy stone with one hundred percent purity?"

"Well, yes," Amalia said, "what I took out was just a low-grade spirit stone."

Shao Jing’s breath became heavier. "No, that energy stone was definitely not this pure."

Amalia understood.

The rules of this universe indeed seemed to restrict the rules of cultivation.

Energy stones could not achieve one hundred percent purity.

"You all absorb this kind of energy stone, and over time, you will accumulate more and more filth and impurities, making it harder to improve your cultivation. It’s better to use these impure energy stones sparingly," Amalia advised.

Shao Jing gave a bitter smile. "Without these energy stones, our cultivation cannot improve."

So even though they knew absorbing these energy stones would be detrimental, no one could control themselves.

"One last question—do you know where the headquarters of the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth is, or at least which star system they mainly operate in?" Amalia asked.

Sharif replied, "No one knows where the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth’s headquarters is, but the star system they mainly operate in is most likely the Pleiades Star System. If you want to know, when the envoy from the Pleiades Star System arrives in a few days, you might find out. However, regardless of whether the headquarters is in the Pleiades Star System, you’ll need to visit the Pleiades Star System yourself."

The Draconis Empire, or rather, the Erythar Star System, could never refuse an invitation from the Pleiades Star System.

Otherwise, given the Pleiades Star System’s position in the universe, they could easily isolate the Erythar Star System, and the chances of destruction for those who do not fit in would be as high as seventy percent, especially in these turbulent times.

Amalia glanced at Sharif.

Indeed, no matter where the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth’s headquarters was, she had already decided to visit the Pleiades Star System.

"Are you all done talking? I have a question," Kenny Lin spoke up when they fell silent.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Kenny," the Emperor said with great politeness.

"Since he can cultivate, why is it that in the entire Erythar Star System, the number of cultivators is so few?"

No one expected him to ask that question. Given humanity’s pursuit of power, it was natural they would have thought about it.

"Mr. Kenny, what you don’t know is that it’s not that we don’t want to cultivate, but that we can’t. Cultivation is not something everyone can do; it requires specific talent," the Emperor sighed and said.

How he wished he could cultivate; he thought about it every day.

"Oh?" Kenny Lin raised an eyebrow. "Then your talent must really be poor. Rafiq’s army of more than 300,000 soldiers can cultivate, but you can’t?"

At these words, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone stared at him in shock.

"You mean to say that Little Rafiq’s soldiers can cultivate? That’s impossible, right? We’ve tried promoting it before, but even tens of thousands of people didn’t produce a single cultivator," the Emperor said, breathing heavily.

"Because your method of cultivation is wrong," Amalia said.

She didn’t know how the cultivators in the Pleiades Star System practiced, but she knew that the method used by the cultivators in the Erythar Star System wasn’t the most common one.
