Volume 1 Chapter 25: Xumi Space

  After making a bow to Fa Xiang, Gao Huan followed Yi Kong out of the courtyard. It wasn't until they had left the main hall of the White Tiger Hall that Gao Huan finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart. "Yi Kong Shixiong, where are we going?" Now that he was far away from Fa Xiang, Gao Huan also had the mind to chat with Yi Kong.

  From his appearance, he has a wide face and a big nose, with a sturdy build. Although his facial expression is serious, it doesn't have that kind of sternness or coldness, so he should be an easy person to talk to.

  As expected, Kong Hen patiently explained: "First, we'll go to Qilin Hall to collect your clothes and waist token, then head to Xuanwu Hall to pick up your medicinal pellets. Finally, we'll return to the inner courtyard of Baitu Hall to find you a room."

  Gao Huan cupped his hands and bowed, saying: "Then I'll have to trouble my senior brother." It's only polite to thank him for helping with these trivial matters. Moreover, Gao Huan was new to the White Tiger Hall and didn't know anyone, so he wanted to make friends as much as possible.

  One Void shook his head, "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning." One Void led Gao Huan to the Qilin Hall, Xuanwu Hall, Qinglong Hall, and only returned to the White Tiger Hall after making a round.

  After the conversation along the way, Gao Huan and Yikong also had a few points of familiarity. It can be seen that Yikong is very calm, serious in doing things, although not good at words, but also not a cold-blooded person.

  He pointed at a row of independent small courtyards and said: "The Master's disciples are the least, so there are many empty rooms here, you can choose freely."

  After inquiring about Yikong's opinion, Gaohuan chose a small courtyard next to Yikong's. The yard had three wooden rooms: a living room, a bedroom and an empty room. A 1-person-high blue brick wall surrounded the relatively closed space on all sides.

  The room was empty, but with a loud shout, Gao Huan led the way to the miscellaneous affairs house in the White Tiger Hall and took out many quilts, tables, chairs and other daily necessities. He also called three miscellaneous workers and worked hard for more than an hour before the room was set up.

  "This is a genuine disciple's bronze plaque, which can activate a small array in the courtyard. It doesn't have much use, but people without the bronze plaque entering will trigger a loud noise, serving as an alarm. As for meals, the miscellaneous servants will deliver them on time. If you have any preferences, you can also discuss with the kitchen staff." Yi Kong was very diligent in introducing various matters to Gao Huan.

  After finishing speaking, Kong again said: "Today we'll stop here, Younger Brother you first rest, if there's anything you don't understand you can come ask me."

  Jian Yi Kong was about to leave, when Gao Huan hastily said: "Brother Jian Yi Kong, today I'm troubling you to run around for me. These few pellets of Concentrated Yuan Dan are a small token of my appreciation. Don't decline."

  Kong was somewhat surprised and hadn't expected Gao Yun to give him anything. He declined, saying: "We're fellow disciples and brothers, it's only natural that we take care of each other. Younger brother, you don't have to do this."

  Gao Huan smiled and said sincerely, "Junior brother also has a small family to support. These few Cong Yuan Dan are nothing much, senior brother shouldn't mind the quantity." Yi Kong wanted to decline again, but Gao Huan said, "Is this thing worth declining so much? Senior brother is being too polite. Besides, junior brother still has many things he doesn't understand and needs to ask senior brother about. If senior brother refuses like this, how can junior brother have the face to trouble senior brother again?"

  One Void was persuaded by Gao Huan and couldn't refuse, so he accepted the bottle of Yuan Condensing Pill. Gao Huan escorted One Void to the door and saw him enter the neighboring courtyard before turning back to his own room.

  Just now, Yikong had refused very firmly, but after receiving the Ningyuan Dan, Yikong's expression also became somewhat softer. Although it was Faxiang who let Yikong come to help, Yikong helped with a willing heart for a long time. In the cold and unfeeling Honglian Temple, it was rare that Gaohuan was very grateful. Gaohuan returning the gift was a give-and-take, also allowing both parties' relationship to progress further.

  Now Gao Huan's family is rich, with two thousand taels of gold, and a five-element return-to-origin jade belt of the fourth rank. There are also some miscellaneous items obtained from Peng Xiu and others. Originally, there was also a four-rank mid-grade North Ming sword, but Gao Huan gave it to Fei Xue. Fei Xue is currently cultivating water-based magic, and the North Ming Sword suits her well.

  After becoming a true disciple, Gao Huan received ten top-grade Yuan Dan every month, ten taels of gold, as well as clothing, underwear, shoes and socks, and other miscellaneous supplies, with extremely generous treatment.

  Ten top-grade Yuan Condensation Pills were worth only ten taels of gold, which was nothing to Gao Huan, but for a first meeting with Kong Xuan, it was a decent gift.

  Back in his own room, Gao Huan let out a long sigh. It had been ten years since he came to this world, and for the first time, he had his own independent space. Without anyone else's gaze or threats, he could finally relax, and it felt great.

  Lying lazily in bed, Huan didn't know how long had passed when she heard someone knocking on the door. Opening it, she saw a servant delivering food. Inside the bamboo-woven lunchbox were four dishes and one soup, with staple foods including rice, pancakes, noodle soup, and buns. The ingredients used for these dishes had all been cultivated using special methods, not only delicious but also having extremely strong nourishing effects on the body.

  Facing these fragrant and delicious dishes, Gao Huan almost burst into tears. In comparison, the disciples who entered the room ate like pigs.

  After finishing the meal, throw the bowl and chopsticks into the food box and put it at the door. It will naturally be cleaned up by someone.

  Gao Huan turned around the empty courtyard a few times, suddenly thinking of the courtyard where Fa Xiang lived. Next to Fa Xiang, Gao Huan was so oppressed by Fa Xiang's aura that he couldn't even think straight.

  At this moment, I suddenly realized that the place where Fa Xiang lived was very luxurious. The Red Lotus Temple was built on water, and the ground was all paved with red wooden boards. Fa Xiang even raised a big tree in the courtyard. If I didn't see it wrong, that lush green tree should be a Bodhi tree. Legend has it that the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

  The Bodhi tree can only survive in a warm and humid environment, but the Red Lotus Temple's array can't adjust the temperature to meet the requirements for the Bodhi tree's survival. It's unknown how much effort will be spent just for this tree.

  Those fish in the pool don't know what's going on. But Fa Xiang is definitely not raised for fun, there must be some special magical place.

  Gao Huan thought for a while but couldn't get to the bottom of it, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore. The level of Dharma was too far away from him, even if he figured it out, what could he do about it anyway?

  After the food in his body was digested, Gao Huan sat on the bed and began his usual cultivation. But today was different from the past, as there was an additional Five Elements Return to Origin Jade Belt around Gao Huan's waist.

  The Five Elements Return to the Origin Jade Belt is five feet long and three inches wide, with a smooth and lustrous surface like jade, but it's soft as silk. When worn around the waist, there's no discomfort at all. Moreover, Gao Huan discovered that on the Five Elements Return to the Origin Jade Belt, there was a two-foot square Mustard Seed Space.

  A mysterious symbol that gathers the five elements, after injecting yuanqi, one can sense the Xumi space. Opening the space requires a stable input of yuanqi, which means it's almost impossible to use this space in battle.

  Although the two-foot space is small, it's enough to hold valuable items like dan medicine. This discovery made Gao Huan extremely delighted. Previously, Ren Yunfei didn't mention this at all.

  Normally, the spatial artifact for storing items should be at least fifth-grade or above. Although the Five Elements Return to Origin Jade Belt's space is small, it is still extremely valuable. With this storage artifact, the value of the Five Elements Return to Origin Jade Belt can be increased by another fold.

  However, the Xumi space is ultimately just an extra, and the most important thing about the Five Elements Return to Yuan Jade Belt is still being able to provide pure yuan energy, assisting in cultivation and combat.

  The high welcome of quieting the mind and cultivating one's nature, can sense the Five Elements Return to Origin Jade Belt at the waist automatically emitting and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Original Qi. The originally complex and chaotic Heaven and Earth Original Qi, after being transformed by the Five Elements Return to Origin Jade Belt, becomes simple and pure.

  With the help of the Five Elements Return to Origin Jade Belt, Gao Huan was like having five more acupoints that could breathe in the heavenly and earthly origin energy, increasing his absorption speed by more than double. The Five Elements Return to Origin Jade Belt's ability to groom the heavenly and earthly origin energy also saved Gao Huan a lot of time in purifying the origin energy.

  The most important thing is that the Wuxing Guiyuan Jade Belt inhales and exhales pure yuanqi like human breathing, never stopping. Wearing this jade belt, Gao Huan is equivalent to constantly operating the five orifices to cultivate.

  In battle, the Five Elements Return to Origin Jade Belt can provide an endless supply of pure yuan energy. Gao Huan already has enough explosive power, but because his cultivation is shallow, his yuan energy cannot support him for a long time in combat. The Five Elements Return to Origin Jade Belt makes up for Gao Huan's shortcomings just right.

  The Wuxing Return to Origin Jade Belt is so precious that its assistance in Yuan Qi has a great help for even the top six-stage experts.

  At dawn, Gao Huan woke up from his meditation, feeling refreshed and invigorated, with a clear mind and a comfortable body.

  One night of quiet meditation, Gao Huan also discovered that the Five Elements Return to Origin Jade Belt has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit. Normally, Gao Huan only had seven acupoints, and after a whole night of inhaling and exhaling yuan energy, he would be overjoyed but not satisfied, feeling extremely fatigued in his divine consciousness, and his body would also be extremely painful due to prolonged cultivation.

  With the Five Elements Return to Origin Jade Belt, it just so happens that it can help Gao Huan complete his overnight cultivation without feeling any fatigue or exhaustion.

  The subtlety of Wu Xing's return to the origin of the jade belt far surpasses Gao Huan's expectations.
