Chapter 944: Chapter 944: Oppression Too Harsh

Ling Xiao turned his head to look at the densely packed cave.

The entrance was small, the interior shallow, and it was filthy, almost all necessities of eating, drinking, and relieving oneself were conducted here.

It really was like managing livestock.

...

Ling Xiao and Leng Mei simply connected the two caves and then cleaned them up a bit to settle down.

No one cared about it.

It seemed that the management here and the leaders of the second encirclement cared more about the Heavenly Elemental Crystals, and they didn’t care about other things at all.

With no one interfering, Ling Xiao and Leng Mei were happy to enjoy their leisure.

The two took out bedding from their Storage Rings and arranged the cave a bit before learning the method to produce Heavenly Elemental Crystals from the walls.

It would truly be a pity not to try producing Heavenly Elemental Crystals while here.

However, a Martial Artist with One-line Heaven Cultivation could usually produce just one Heavenly Elemental Crystal in a month.

A Martial Artist from the Four Symbols Heavenly Realm could produce four Heavenly Elemental Crystals in a month.

Leng Mei was quite exceptional, managing to produce one Heavenly Elemental Crystal in three days.

Based on this calculation, she could probably produce about ten in a month, which was six more than a typical Martial Artist from the Four Symbols Heavenly Realm.

"Master, I wonder if what that person said a few days ago is true, can we really not use Heavenly Elemental Crystals here?"

Leng Mei asked.

"What he said was correct, I have already observed it, there is also a special Array Formation here, once a Heavenly Elemental Crystal is used, it will produce energy fluctuations, and the people outside will soon know."

Ling Xiao nodded.

"Do we have to hand over all the extra Heavenly Elemental Crystals? That’d be a pity."

Leng Mei was somewhat reluctant.

"Hehe, Leng Mei, you’ve been missing for so long, you probably don’t know that I’ve mastered the Method of Array Refinement. A few days ago, when we were cleaning up the cave, I already set up a small Array Formation here that can avoid detection, so both of us can use Heavenly Elemental Crystals here without any problem."

Ling Xiao laughed.

"You really are impressive, Master. Those people probably couldn’t even dream of this."

Leng Mei was genuinely very surprised and increasingly admired Ling Xiao.

"Master, I will definitely have six extra Heavenly Elemental Crystals a month, let’s use them all for you, you’re only at One-line Heaven Cultivation and can’t produce many Heavenly Elemental Crystals."

"Hehe."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao chuckled and opened his hand, revealing three Heavenly Elemental Crystals in his palm.

"Good heavens, Master! How did you do it? A Martial Artist with One-line Heaven Cultivation actually managed to produce three Heavenly Elemental Crystals in three days!"

Leng Mei couldn’t help but be amazed; Ling Xiao’s performance was truly shocking.

You see, a typical One-line Heaven Cultivation Martial Artist could only produce one Heavenly Elemental Crystal a month, and Ling Xiao’s production rate was thirty times theirs!

What terrifying Heavenly Origin Power he must possess.

"Hehe, it’s all trivial matters, let’s cultivate first, and once my cultivation rises to Taiji Heaven, we’ll go out and assess the situation."

Ling Xiao smiled, picking up a Heavenly Elemental Crystal to start cultivating.

Interestingly, even though the Heavenly Elemental Crystals were produced by the Martial Artists themselves, the Heavenly Origin Power contained within them was much more than the Heavenly Origin Power they could cultivate in the same amount of time.

Ling Xiao guessed this might be related to the special environment, causing the external Spiritual Qi to mix in and all condense into Heavenly Origin Power.

However, he wasn’t very clear on the specifics,

Fortunately, this issue was not urgent.

All he had to do now was focus on Cultivation.

On the other side, Leng Mei also began her Cultivation, and neither of them intended to keep the Heavenly Elemental Crystals, because Ling Xiao had a way out—he just needed to increase his Cultivation Level a bit more.

About one shichen later, Ling Xiao discovered that the Heavenly Origin Power had started to manifest in the second cauldron of his Nine Ding Heavenly Vein.

This was a sign that his Cultivation was about to break through to the early stage of Taiji Heaven.

By then, he had only used two Heavenly Elemental Crystals.

Leng Mei continued her Cultivation without stopping.

Ling Xiao had planned to continue Cultivating for a while, but suddenly heard a loud commotion outside.

He activated the Eye of the World to look.

He saw a group of people shouting something outside a nearby cave.

Inside the cave, there was a Martial Artist at the Late Stage of Trinity Heaven, his face full of despair and hopelessness.

"There’s still a long time left in this month. I’ve worked hard for so many days and only produced one Heavenly Elemental Crystal. If I give it to you, how am I to explain to the overseer? I don’t want to be punished; I never want to experience that hell-like feeling again."

"Cut the crap, don’t think we don’t know. You just tried to use the Heavenly Elemental Crystal for Cultivation, as energy fluctuations have already been emitted! Now that you’ve entertained such thoughts, you must hand over all the Heavenly Elemental Crystals, otherwise, you’ll still be punished!"

The speaker was that seemingly righteous middle-aged man from the other day; now, he looked just like a bandit.

Besides him, the Martial Artists who had reveled with him that day stood behind him. Together, their strength was formidable.

"You’re really bullying me too much. Although I had that thought, I ultimately didn’t use the Heavenly Elemental Crystal for Cultivation, which is not against the rules. Even the overseer hasn’t said anything."

"Bullying you? I’m targeting you, you fool. Let me tell you the truth, even the overseer manages you fools through us. We are the bosses here, we are the kings!"

The middle-aged man laughed heartily.

After speaking, he directly ordered his subordinates to snatch it.

Just one Heavenly Elemental Crystal was forcibly taken, and the Martial Artists within the cave wept loudly.

It wasn’t that he was weak.

But without being able to use Heavenly Elemental Crystals for Cultivation here, he could never increase his Cultivation and would thus forever remain a lowly underling, living a life of suppression.

Better to be dead.

Just as Ling Xiao was about to withdraw his gaze, the man actually pressed a hand to his own forehead, then wildly laughed and bade the world farewell.

"Sigh."

Ling Xiao sighed; the psychological strength of this Martial Artist seemed too weak.

It’s better to live miserably than to die; maybe a chance to escape would come at any time.

To die like this was truly not worth it.

This scene also reinforced Ling Xiao’s resolve.

Inciting a rebellion among the slaves here was definitely promising.

The boss of the second circle was the "Leach Lord," whose Martial Soul was a Terrifying Leech, and his Cultivation had reached the Pinnacle of the Four Symbols Heavenly Realm, just one step away from breaking into Wu Xinɡ Tian.

Thus, these days the Leach Lord hadn’t appeared, as he was in seclusion for Cultivation.

The slaves here both hated and feared this Leach Lord. Once Ling Xiao dealt with him, he would surely have everyone’s support.

So, in the following days, Ling Xiao did three things.

First, he used the Eye of the World to observe the Magic Arrays and Array Formations here, analyzing how to break them;

Second, he produced Heavenly Elemental Crystals;

Third, he enhanced his Cultivation.

The latter two tasks actually complemented each other greatly, as Heavenly Elemental Crystals significantly helped to increase Cultivation, which was an undeniable fact.
