Chapter 1069: I Have Plenty More

I Have Plenty More . . .

When Cha Eun Xiao took a sweeping look around, what met his eyes was unmistakably the fourth layer of the Mountain of All Medicines.

It was an exact replica.

But where was Wood Space?

Losing Wood Space was not an option.

The fourth layer of the Mountain of All Medicines was undeniably more extensive than Wood Space, but the latter housed invaluable treasures like the Tree of Cultivating Tea, the Regeneration Lotus, and especially the lotuses that were yet to mature. Cha Eun Xiao had exerted considerable effort to collect all those lotuses and had stored them in Wood Space. He had never anticipated that the fourth layer would entirely migrate into Boundless Space.

A series of incredulous thoughts raced through his mind:

- Was he being mocked?

- Being duped was one thing, but losing the Tree and lotuses was another. The losses would far outweigh any gains. novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

- After an exhaustive search, he finally located Wood Space tucked away in a corner.

Compared to the fourth layer of the Mountain of All Medicines, Wood Space appeared minuscule.

In reality, Wood Space had been completely absorbed by the fourth layer.

Cha Eun Xiao couldn't help but marvel at the astonishing turn of events:

- Wood Space, a unique entity, had been absorbed by another space.

- Astonishingly, the other eight spaces remained unaffected.

- This implied the existence of a power potent enough to separate Wood Space from the Nine Spaces.

- The Mountain of All Medicines had effectively replaced Wood Space, transforming into an expanded "Neo-Wood Space."

- The new Wood Space retained all the qualities of the old one.

Cha Eun Xiao accepted this reality, albeit with some bewilderment. Moreover, when he accessed Wood Space, he noticed a change. The energetic purple qi that once belonged to the Mountain of All Medicines now flowed throughout Boundless Space. The liquid purple qi present in normal form surged into Wood Space like a torrent.

The two streams of identical, albeit differently manifested purple qi collided, creating a tumultuous storm complete with thunderclaps and bolts of lightning. These lightning flashes resembled silver serpents undulating in the air and persisted for an extended period.

It became evident to Cha Eun Xiao that the two streams of purple qi were counteracting and blending harmoniously. The new spiritual qi produced from this collision exhibited greater purity and density compared to the previous state.

He deduced, "The key must lie within the Mountain of All Medicines. But finding it will require patience and a gradual approach."

As his mentality shifted, the entire new Wood Space—the fourth layer of the Mountain of All Medicines—began to transform as well. All the medicinal plants were partitioned into distinct sections of land. Once everything was in order, Cha Eun Xiao left with the sensation that he had reached the pinnacle of level nine.

All that remained was an opportune moment to break through the Dream Origin Stage's limit and ascend to the Dao Origin Stage.

Beside him, Han Bingxue appeared somewhat bored. He had not anticipated Cha Eun Xiao would plunge into meditation so abruptly without prior notice.

Nevertheless, meditating was a better choice than falling asleep again. After all, should Cha Eun Xiao doze off, Han Bingxue might find himself obliged to take him to the doctor.

When Cha Eun Xiao emerged from his meditation, Han Bingxue began to voice his complaints, "Boss, you can't do this to me… Uh?"

Before he could complete his sentence, he noticed several jade bottles placed before him.

"What are these?" Han Bingxue inquired.

Although he might have appeared somewhat simple when accompanying Cha Eun Xiao, he was, in fact, a formidable level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator, well-versed in the intricacies of power, perspectives, and experience. With a mere glance at the bottles, he deduced that whatever lay inside must be extraordinary.

"They contain Supreme Dan Beads," Cha Eun Xiao responded matter-of-factly. "Specifically, Heaven Climbing Dan. Consume one, and it will add a hundred years' worth of cultivation to you. You can take several of them, and the efficacy won't diminish."

Han Bingxue's eyes nearly bulged out as he exclaimed, "Ah?"

"There are one hundred of these in each bottle," Cha Eun Xiao stated nonchalantly. "When you've fully absorbed them, you should ascend to the peak of level nine in the Dao Origin Stage. I hope you can achieve even greater heights."

Han Bingxue was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Where did he acquire them?" he wondered.

After a long pause, Han Bingxue, his face a mixture of disbelief and wry amusement, inquired, "Supreme-level Heaven Climbing Dan? Multiple can be taken simultaneously, and the efficacy won't diminish? ... Please, don't act so casually. Of course, the efficacy won't diminish. It's Supreme-level Heaven Climbing Dan! Can't you grasp the gravity of the situation? I'm terrified. I'm stunned. I'm shocked. Don't you understand?"

Cha Eun Xiao sighed and responded, "I don't want to be so nonchalant about it. The situation is what it is, and I suppose I should maintain a composed demeanor. It's in our best interest."

His calm demeanor was merely a facade, though. In truth, he had an abundance of these dan beads in his Boundless Space, with thousands in his possession. More were produced every day.

He genuinely had no inclination to feign surprise and utter phrases like "What a marvelous treasure," or "How precious." For him, these were trifling matters. There was no way he could muster the enthusiasm to extol their value.

"One dan bead adds a hundred years of cultivation... with minimal reduction in efficacy after taking more," Cha Eun Xiao clarified. "Still, it's a benefit for you."

"A benefit...," Han Bingxue rolled his eyes. "Boss, please, don't downplay this. It's much more than just a benefit. It's a blessing from the heavens!"

"Just accept them," Cha Eun Xiao casually waved his hand. "I have plenty more. One hundred dan beads, one bottle. What's the big deal? Ten thousand years of cultivation? No problem."

He was never one to be stingy with his own people, especially his brothers.

"No problem? You have plenty more? Are you serious? How could you have so many?" Han Bingxue regarded Cha Eun Xiao with skepticism.

Cha Eun Xiao then extended his hand, revealing a stack of jade bottles. Arching an eyebrow, he remarked, "I do have plenty more."
