In the camp.

It began to quiet down.

Li Qian was seated cross-legged beside a bonfire, the warmth from the flames dispelling the chill.

The others had already hidden inside the wooden houses to rest.

On the rack above the bonfire hung a piece of meat, charred golden brown.

Li Qian took out a small knife made from animal bone and cut a small slice of the roasted meat, putting it into his mouth and gently chewing. Although it was a bit tough, it was cooked and tasted much better than raw.

Moreover, eating the cooked meat wouldn’t cause stomach cramps and severe pain.

According to Tuo Ba, this was because things in this realm contained substances that the ordinary Primordial Embryo body could not withstand. By cooking, such substances could be removed, though some Spiritual Energy would be lost. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Besides... the absorption rate of Spiritual Energy by the Primordial Embryo was originally low.

Losing this part wasn’t much of a matter.

After eating a piece of meat, he picked up a wooden bowl and drank a sip of water.

This water came from the oasis and had also been boiled.

Having experienced so much in the desert, Li Qian knew how precious a stable settlement with ample food and water was.

He glanced at his bandaged right arm, the bones shattered and muscles a mess, still in immense pain.

But it was nothing.

Once the Void State ended, the injuries would disappear.

A long time later, Li Qian felt his stomach getting full from eating and drinking.

At this moment, a figure walked out from the wooden house, slender with four arms, and its head devoid of hair but covered with a layer of keratin.

This person was called Xu Ao.

Also from the Longevity Realm.

Among the dozen or so people in the oasis, all were humanoid... they just had some distinct physical features.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, may I know from which dynasty of the Longevity Realm are you?"

Xu Ao sat down beside him, smiling.

"The Eternal Dynasty."

Li Qian naturally wouldn’t tell the truth.

His knowledge about the Longevity Realm also came from that mysterious creature.

Only knowing about the Eternal Dynasty.

That was enough.

"Tsk tsk, from the Eternal Dynasty."

Xu Ao gave a strange laugh.

Li Qian, however, detected a special intention in Xu Ao’s tone, his mind stirred—could it be that Xu Ao came from a force hostile to the Eternal Dynasty?

"Daoist Qian Yuan, since we both come from the Longevity Realm, we’re like fellow countrymen. We should get closer in the future, so we can rely on each other."

Xu Ao spoke softly.

"What Daoist Xu Ao said is right."

Li Qian nodded: "I wonder, is there any way to cultivate in this Void State?"

This was what he most wanted to know.

"Hey, there’s no way to cultivate. Even if you cultivate, except for Spiritual Energy, you can’t bring anything back."

Xu Ao shook his head, "However, the most basic Body Refinement martial techniques can have some practical effects on increasing strength."

"Daoist Xu Ao, I have a doubt, it seems that the creatures of this world are not particularly strong?"

Li Qian asked further.

Those wild beasts clearly weren’t very strong, they could all be killed by these Refinement Returners.

Normally, the creatures of a higher-order world should be far superior to these Refinement Returners in every aspect.

"Who told you that the creatures of this world must be stronger than us? We just haven’t adapted to this world yet. Once we reach Returning to Void Perfection, and our bodies fully transform... advancing in life level, we will definitely have a place in this world."

Xu Ao hehe laughed.

Li Qian was thoughtful.

After daybreak, the temperature rose.

Li Qian didn’t end his Void State.

Moreover, he had a feeling that as long as he wished, he could end the Void State at any time and return to the real world.

Subsequently, Li Qian came to know quite a bit about the oasis.

The area wasn’t particularly large, just over a hundred mu, with various trees and vegetation growing... the very center had a clear small lake, a precious water source in the desert.

The camp was located some distance from the lake.

Mainly considering safety.

The lake was a water source for many desert creatures, so it often attracted animals... they definitely couldn’t hold out in defense.

The entire layout of the camp was very conducive to defense, which was also the main reason why the camp had been able to exist for so many years.

Due to the injury to his arm, Li Qian wasn’t preparing to build his own wooden house yet, but he had already chosen a location.

On the outer periphery.

This way, if the camp was attacked, his wooden house would bear the brunt.

However, being a newcomer, it was quite reasonable and normal.

Two days later.

The second batch of people returned from their Void State.

Tuo Ba briefly introduced the second batch of people to Li Qian.

Li Qian found that among this second batch, there was a person from the Human Clan called Xiang Liu, but from what he heard from others, this person was solitary and not sociable, and even towards Li Qian, a fellow Human Clan, Xiang Liu was very cold.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, remember the time node for ending the Void State, try not to miss it."

Before ending the Void State, the rugged Tuo Ba reminded.

"Alright."

Li Qian nodded and then took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and a moment later he opened his eyes, already back inside the underground palace.

Instantly, he felt a surging heat welling up from his abdomen, sweeping through his body, plunging him into intense pain.

But he gritted his teeth and endured it, vibrating the Chen Bell in his mind, ringing it to alleviate... gradually refining this Spiritual Energy.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, letting out a breath.

He summoned the system to check the latest information.
