Quick Travel: Is it OK to recycle yourself?

Chapter 274: First Entry into the Immortal Cultivation World 19

The three elves surrounded Qu Nannan and stared at her, waiting to wake her up in time if anything unexpected happened.

In just a few breaths, Qu Nannan seemed to have successfully drawn the energy into her body. The energy around her was almost turning into a vortex. In an instant, the air in other places in the cave seemed to become a lot more turbid. This was a phenomenon caused by the spiritual energy being drained away.

The elf was a little anxious. Without spiritual energy, it would be easy to fail to draw the energy into the body. What should I do? How about using the spiritual stones I got today to resist?

Before the elf could go look for the spirit stones that had been collected today, they saw the small stone pillar that had previously hidden something slowly rising up. The three little men stood in front of Qu Nannan, not knowing why the stone pillar rose up automatically.

The stone pillar was much higher than the first time it rose. No one knew how deep it was, probably rising several dozen meters. The stone pillar brought out a lot of spiritual energy, and instantly the small cave was filled with spiritual energy, which was several times denser than at the beginning.

The three little ones stared at the scene in front of them in amazement. It turned out that they didn’t find all the treasures last time. The biggest treasure was still underground!

But now is not the time to care about these things. Nannan is the most important thing now.

Since this stone pillar was here to help, the three little ones no longer paid attention to it. They turned their heads to look at Qu Nannan. With the replenishment of spiritual energy, Qu Nannan's progress seemed to be much faster.

At first, he frowned as if in pain, and slowly, black liquid with a foul smell began to seep out of his body. The elf grabbed Xiaotao and Xiao who were about to rush over when they saw Qu Nannan bleeding.

"Don't hold us back. Can't you see that Nannan is injured? Hurry up and wake her up and find some medicine to heal her."

"Don't be impulsive. Nannan is using the opportunity to draw Qi into her body to cleanse her tendons and marrow. If she succeeds, it will be of great benefit to her future cultivation."

"Really? You didn't lie to us?"

"Nannan and I are one, how can I harm Nannan? Just watch carefully."

"But didn't Nannan already take the marrow cleansing pill? Why are there still so many impurities?"

"The Marrow Cleansing Pill can only remove impurities in the meridians. It is still a little inferior to the deeper levels. If Nannan operates well, it can become a pure and flawless physique. The cultivation of a flawless physique can improve by leaps and bounds."

"That's great. I hope Nannan can succeed."

"You guys look after Nannan. I remember there is a hot spring on the other side. I'll go get some water. Nannan will definitely want to take a bath when she wakes up." Xiaotao has always been the one doing the errands.

"Okay, use the jade bottle that Nannan gave you. It has a large space so you can get more hot spring water. I'll also dig a pool here to make a hot spring for Nannan so she doesn't have to fetch water every time she takes a bath."

"Oh, I know."

The three of them all had space devices. Qu Nannan had always been generous and would never be stingy with anything she had given to them.

The three little ones busily dug a hot spring pool for Qu Nannan and even built a simple shelter around it.

Just after finishing the work, he saw the vortex of spiritual energy above Qu Nannan's head pause rhythmically five times, followed by a larger inhalation, and then slowly calmed down.

"Nannan is about to wake up."

As soon as the elf finished speaking, Qu Nannan opened her eyes and almost vomited from the smell. She wiped the stuff covering her eyes and knew where the stench came from as soon as she looked at her hands.

"Nannan, go wash up quickly. We have prepared everything for you."

When Qu Nannan looked over, she saw a makeshift bathroom that was still steaming. She didn't say anything, for fear that the dirt on her face would fall into her mouth if she opened her mouth. She quickly moved her short legs and jumped into the hot spring pool.

The three of them are genderless, but they all know to respect other people's privacy, and they would definitely not stay with Qu Nannan at this time.

It took more than half an hour for Qu Nannan to come out refreshed. She looked taller and her skin was fairer. She no longer looked malnourished as she had when she first came.

"How long did it take me?"

"It only took you a few breaths to draw the energy into your body. It's only been two days now."

Qu Nannan's eyes lit up: "It seems that my spiritual root is very likely a chaotic spiritual root, otherwise I wouldn't be able to draw Qi into my body so quickly. I'm already at the fifth level of Qi Refining now."

He patted his rumbling stomach and said, "If I wasn't so hungry, I could continue. But I've already honed myself. I don't need to meditate all the time. I can practice with normal breathing, but it's just a little slower than meditation."

"I didn't expect the spiritual energy in this cave to be so rich. I thought it wasn't enough for me. I even felt sorry for the new spiritual stones I got."

Having said that, the three little ones turned around and looked at the tall stone pillar. Qu Nannan also followed the three little ones' gaze and saw that the small stone pillar, which was only one meter high before, was now dozens of meters high, and spiritual energy was constantly spewing out from the bottom of the stone pillar.

"What's going on?"

The three little ones shook their heads: "When you drained all the spiritual energy in this cave, this stone pillar rose up by itself and spewed out a lot of spiritual energy for you to practice."

Qu Nannan quickly ran to the stone pillar, squatted down and looked under it. It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything, but the closer she got, she could feel the rich spiritual energy gushing out even more.

Qu Nannan touched her chin and said, "Do you think there is a spiritual vein underground?"

The three little ones also came over and said, "How about we go down and take a look?"

"Let's wait and see. This place is so close to Jianmen. If there is a spiritual vein, how could it not be discovered?"

"Xiao Tao, take me to see where we came in." Qu Nannan didn't explain the reason, and Xiao Tao didn't ask. She just carried Qu Nannan and flew quickly towards the cave where they came in.

If Xiaotao had let go, she would have been very fast and would have reached the cave entrance in no time. Unfortunately, the cave entrance was no longer found. Qu Nannan searched for a long time in confusion, as if the cave entrance had never appeared.

She patted Xiao Tao and said, "I remember there is another cave entrance. We didn't have enough time to go there last time. Let's go and take a look now."

Xiaolai still needed to lead the way. They sped all the way and soon reached another exit. According to the terrain, this exit should be at a low place. Once they got out of the cave, Qu Nannan's guess was confirmed.

This should be a valley, and there is a small wooden house in the valley, and it is unknown whether anyone lives there. The four people walked over carefully and knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time.

Xiao reminded: "There is no one else here, and there are not many living things."
