Chapter 964: Chapter 84: Return

“There’s a reaction!?”

Pei Laoliu’s face showed a hint of joy.

Zhang Xiaoman also perked up, using his Spiritual Vision to look in that direction.

The Spirit Testing Stele was still emitting a faint Dark Energy Fluctuation, and there was no change in Spiritual Energy around Li Qiang either, leaving people completely puzzled about the principle behind it.

Yan Jiantong had a complex expression on his face as he stared intently at the stele emitting a faint light, his body trembling slightly.

Li Mu, on the other hand, had an expression full of envy, almost writing those two words across his face.

Among those present, the most excited was, of course, Li Qiang.

The youth was the first in this world to follow behind Pei Laoliu, and from the moment he witnessed the other’s extraordinary methods, his heart was filled with yearning.

Later, after seeing so many incredible things with him, it only solidified his idea.

Especially with East Origin Village being massacred, losing his only kin, and bearing the burden of deep revenge.

Li Qiang had secretly vowed to learn well from Master Liu, and one day seek vengeance on that Prince.

Now, seeing himself pass the Spirit Testing Stele’s test, knowing he possessed the qualification for Cultivation, and could embark on the Path to Immortality, the joy in his heart was indescribable to others.

“Not bad, a Water Based Spiritual Root, just suitable for practicing our Tianyuan Sect’s Cultivation Technique, right Li Qiang? From now on, you will apprentice under Master Liu, follow him, and train diligently, do not be negligent.”

Zhang Xiaoman said as he looked at the ripple-like Spiritual Energy on the Spirit Testing Stele.

This kind of fluctuating Spiritual Energy indicated that the tester had a Water Element Spiritual Root, suitable for practicing water attribute Cultivation Techniques.

Li Qiang, being a clever child, immediately expressed his gratitude to Zhang Xiaoman upon hearing this, then turned to kneel before Pei Laoliu.

“Greetings, Master!”

Pei Laoliu smiled, stroking his beard, and said:

“Alright, you’re my first apprentice, follow my teachings properly from here on.”

“Look, keep this bottle of medicine liquid safe, drink it later to enhance your Constitution, consider it my gift to you as a new apprentice.”

Master Liu took a bottle of Sun Essence Potion out of his pocket, which was Zhang Xiaoman’s allocation for the day.

Seeing Li Qiang joyfully accept the golden Sun Essence, Zhang Xiaoman felt a bit helpless.

“Alas, it’s quite stingy of Master Liu, it’s also my fault for not providing better things, making it difficult for Master Liu to give worthy gifts due to his limited possessions.”

He thought to himself.

But this should only be temporary.

Now that Master Liu has become an elder of the Tianyuan Sect, and is also the only member of the Star Alliance residing in this world at the moment.

There are abundant resources on this vast Divine Ancient Star, with some Spirit Stones and Magic Treasures left in the sect.

All of which can be used and managed by Master Liu in the future, so he won’t have to worry about resources.

Then, Zhang Xiaoman turned his gaze to Yan Jiantong and Li Mu, saying:

“Although you two don’t have the qualification for Cultivation right now, you can stay in the outer sect of our Tianyuan Sect, live healthily in these mountains every day, and after a while, there’s still a chance you might open a spiritual acupoint and embark on the path of Cultivation.”

He wasn’t making this up, he read about it in a book from the Book Storage Building.

Even ordinary people without Spirit Roots have a small chance of awakening Cultivation Talent if they live and train in a place rich in Spiritual Energy for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiantong and Li Mu were overjoyed, quickly bowing to express that they would seize this last opportunity.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, having handled most of the matters concerning the Tianyuan Sect, it was time for him to leave.

Now Master Liu has three juniors here to command, so Zhang Xiaoman didn’t need to worry too much about him.

Not to mention, there’s still Jiu Jiu here.

With the little one around, there shouldn’t be much to worry about in terms of safety.

After explaining the detailed situation of the Tianyuan Sect to Master Liu,

Zhang Xiaoman copied a large number of Cultivation Technique Secret Books to him via the Star Network Terminal, helping him prioritize learning them, and then activated Unlimited Teleportation to return to Water Blue Star.

…

On Water Blue Star, at the Star Alliance’s base, it was still a busy scene.

The Awakeners were busy with their respective tasks.

For instance, rotating shifts at guarding the branch base, accelerating the growth of Spirit Plants in the medicine garden, and eliminating Alien Species based on the intelligence collected by the Canglan Department.

Those with no tasks at hand would relentlessly train their Dark Energy at the training grounds, working hard to improve their strength.

Aside from some researchers, medical staff, and intelligence personnel, most were craftsmen recruited by the organization.

These craftsmen were also too busy to rest lately.

Not only did they need to build the remaining six islands, but they also had to repair the damaged structures of the Moon Base, an enormous amount of work, even leaving no time for daily training.

Zhang Xiaoman planned to launch a new batch of craftsman expansion projects, assigning the task to Yang Yangyang to oversee.

He had two days before he could return from Guleng Star, at which point he needed to send a new Resident over.

Floating in the sky, looking at the busy base below, Zhang Xiaoman felt a sense of accomplishment.

Now the Star Alliance had become a large machine capable of self-operation, unlike before when the Star Lord had to personally take care of everything.
