Outside the Immortal Mansion, Fang Qingyuan slowly rose to his feet. By now, the Immortal Mansion had devoured a massive amount of the black soil, and the patch before him had shrunk considerably from its original size.
The spatial rifts, once hidden beneath the thick black clay, had now all been revealed. Only then did Fang Qingyuan realize that the two-foot-wide rift he had first discovered was not, in fact, the largest.
His cultivation had now broken through to the Fifth-Layer Golden Core, all thanks to the immense amount of black soil. However, the resources needed to advance from the Fifth-Layer to the Sixth-Layer Golden Core were even more astronomical. Fang Qingyuan estimated that even absorbing the black soil here for another two years might not be enough to meet the requirement.
Therefore, Fang Qingyuan decided to put a temporary halt to absorbing the black soil. It was time to start working on the mission Tu Wuzhao had given him.
