The so-called lightning pearl was some sort of crystallized lightning essence, similar to Xiang Shaoyun's Yun Flame and yin devil wind. The Purple Lightning Pool was filled with extremely powerful lightning energy that even Soul Foundation Realm cultivators could use to cultivate. It also proved that the lightning power in the s.p.a.ce was at the Sovereign level.

Thus, a lightning pearl formed at a place like this was most likely of a higher grade than Xiang Shaoyun's Yun Flame and yin devil wind. That was how Money had grown so rapidly in less than a month. Xiang Shaoyun was envious, but he did not feel any malice. He treated Money as his brother, and to see a brother grow stronger was a joyful thing.

”Boss, let's continue cultivating here. I can sense that the pool still contains lightning energy of extreme purity. It's enough for us to keep growing,” proposed Money.

Xiang Shaoyun gave it some thought before saying, ”I'm not staying, but if you want to stay, I won't object.”

He had already reached his limit of how much lightning energy he could suppress within him. It was time to gather other energies and balance his nine energies before advancing.

”I'll go with you, boss. I'm afraid I will really get kidnapped. Humans are too evil!”

The smile vanished from Xiang Shaoyun's face as he was a human as well.

And thus, the two left the s.p.a.ce together. But before that, Money went back into Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea so others wouldn't notice him. After paying over 200,000 contribution points, Xiang Shaoyun went straight into the zone Vicious Steel Mist.

This independent s.p.a.ce was completely different from the s.p.a.ce containing the Purple Lightning Pool. It was actually an area filled with golden mountains. A large number of academy members could be seen mining for goldsteel stones in the area.

The goldsteel stones could be used as crafting materials, and those found here would be the best of the best, cla.s.sified as sovereign-grade materials. Furthermore, high quality spirit crystal veins could be found as well. In fact, there were rumors that there was also a saint gold crystal here.

The saint gold crystal was similar to the saint lightning crystal. Both were more than just regular spirit crystals, as they both contained pure and boundless energy. A single saint crystal was comparable to over 10,000 regular spirit crystals.

It was obvious how valuable a single saint crystal could be. More importantly, even when one offered 10,000 high-grade spirit crystals for a saint crystal, the holder of the saint crystal would still be unwilling to sell it. As for the big piece of saint lightning crystal Xiang Shaoyun had gotten from Money, it could be cut into about 30 crystals the size of a regular crystal.

That meant that the saint lightning crystal in his hand was worth about 300,000 spirit crystals. The goldsteel stone mines and the high-grade spirit crystal mines in the s.p.a.ce belonged to the academy. Thus, to take any of the mined ores required one to pay the equivalent amount of contribution points.

Additionally, there were also missions to be completed, namely mining or protecting the mines from being taken over by non-humans. A certain life form known as the goldmen resided here.

A goldman was an odd humanoid life form that was about twice as tall as a regular human and had a body of gold that contained boundless strength. They could directly consume metallic ores, goldsteel stones, and spirit crystals to grow.
