Chapter 573: Stay

After the two children in the space told each other about their experiences, they suddenly felt sympathetic towards each other.

Xiao Ling said, “Little Master, I see that your cultivation hasn’t reached the first level of the Qi cultivating stage yet. Your soul is so powerful. Your cultivation speed should be very fast.”

Xiao Tong rolled his eyes and said somewhat speechlessly, “But we’re in a normal world. Without Qi, how can I cultivate?”

Xiao Ling, “…”

“On the day my father got into a car accident, I noticed that my mother and father’s bodies had spiritual energy fluctuations. In addition, the food that my family ate seemed to have spiritual energy. I guessed that my mother had a cultivation space on her.”

At this time, Xiao Ling was full of doubt as he asked, “But little master, you’ve been entering this space and being fed food with spiritual energy since you were born.”

Xiao Tong said with a sad smile, “Sigh. I’m only a few months old. My mother and grandmother would not give me anything except breast milk and some water. When I was three months old, even though I resisted breast milk, they were worried that I would be malnourished, so they fed me breast milk and some milk powder at the same time. It wasn’t until five months later that I was given some liquid food.

“The food didn’t contain enough essence for me to cultivate. That’s why even though I’m already six months old, I haven’t even entered the first level of the Qi refining stage yet.”

Xiao Ling thought for a moment and realized that it seemed to make sense.

At this point, Xiao Tong’s face became serious. “Recently, the things that mother planted are getting more and more attention. It will definitely attract some people who have evil and greedy intentions. Mom, Grandma, and everyone else may be in danger.

“Therefore, I have to get stronger. I need to cultivate faster so that I can protect their safety.”

Xiao Ling was a relic spirit. Ever since he gained sentience, he stayed in the farming space. No one ever told him about the dangers outside the space. Earlier, he instinctively guarded Xiao Lingyu because he was worried about her safety. Therefore, when he heard his little master say these things, he was immediately shocked.

Xiao Ling said in disbelief, “Will Master be in danger? Why? Isn’t the things that master grows very ordinary? The immortals would barely care about these things.”

“…” Xiao Tong had the urge to roll his eyes again. He said speechlessly, “I really don’t want what to say. Yes, the things here wouldn’t get the attention of any immortals.

“But can you remember what kind of world we’re in? This is an ordinary world, with no Qi. So the common food has no Qi in them. However, the things grown here contain Qi and are highly beneficial for the human body. These are great attractions for people with greed in their hearts.”

Xiao Ling asked in confusion, “But those people can’t even get into the space inside the jade pendant. Why would they go after Master?”

“That’s because you can’t imagine how greedy human beings are!” Xiao Tong said.

Xiao Tong had only lived for five years in his previous life, but he had lived for thousands of years in the cultivation world. The people in the cultivation world were humans too, but they were even more ruthless.

In their eyes, there was no so-called kinship, friendship, and love, only cultivation and killing to steal treasures.

However, Xiao Tong was very glad that such a thing did not happen to him in the Heavenly Gate Sect. Everyone, from the patriarch to his junior apprentice-nephew, loved him very much. They even gave him all kinds of treasures. No one robbed him.

However, just because something like this didn’t happen to him didn’t mean that it wouldn’t happen to others.

He had once seen a disciple of the sect kill his senior brother in order to steal his treasure. Therefore, when Xiao Tong returned to the modern world, he understood the darkness inside human hearts.

Moreover, in the past few months, he had been using his spiritual sense to observe the village. He had overheard some people talking bad things about his mother.

Of course, the vast majority of people in the village were simple and kind. However, no matter where they were, there would be a few people who’d spoil the harmony.

When Xiao Tong had the ability, he would definitely teach these people a good lesson.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to cultivate. Once he was powerful enough, he could better protect the Xiao Family.

Xiao Tong saw that Xiao Ling was still a little confused. He waved his small hand and said, “Forget it. I can’t explain it to you now. You will naturally understand it in the future.

“The most important thing you need to do now is to help me raise my cultivation level. Only then can I protect mom and your master from danger.”

Xiao Tong often thought that if he had a certain level of cultivation when the car accident happened, that man would definitely have been saved. Thankfully, his spiritual energy was slowly recovering. Otherwise, his mother might lose the happiness that she had fought so hard to find. If that happened, Xiao Tong might really destroy the world.

Xiao Ling asked innocently, “Then, Little Master, how do you want me to help you? Oh, right, there’s spiritual energy here, and you can use it as you please! When your cultivation reaches ascension, you can bring me back to the Heavenly World. I’ll recover then.”

They were in a normal world, and there was no spiritual energy to replenish the energy in the farming space. Therefore, the amount of energy would decrease every time it was used.

Of course, the exhaustion wasn’t that serious if it was just for farming. It could last for tens of thousands of years.

However, it was a different story for cultivation. Cultivating required a huge amount of spiritual energy.

For a person with the average talent to enter the first level of the Qi refining stage, the amount of spiritual energy needed would be equivalent to the energy required to plant 1000 years of crops.

However, for a person with extremely high talent, the amount of spiritual energy required would be slightly less.

Based on Xiao Tong’s talent, the amount of spiritual energy required to enter the first level of the Qi refining stage would be equivalent to the energy exhausted after 500 years of farming. Furthermore, as his cultivation level increased, he would require more energy.

Eventually, Xiao Tong would exhaust the energy inside the farming space. However, Xiao Ling was willing to cooperate because the goal was to protect Xiao Lingyu.

Xiao Ling asked very seriously and sincerely, “Little master, how do you need me to help you?”

Xiao Tong said directly, “I need more time to cultivate in your space. Before this, mom would only let me stay in here for a while before hauling me out. I didn’t even have the chance to cultivate. So I need you to try your best to let my mother keep me in the space.”

Xiao Ling was full of doubts as he asked, “But little master, how can I do that?”

Xiao Tong huffed, “You can do the same thing you did today. You said you want to play with me. Coupled with my cooperation, I think my mother will definitely not refuse.”

Xiao Ling said in confusion, “But little master, you can tell master yourself. Master loves you so much. Once you say it, Master will definitely keep you in the space.”

“…” Xiao Tong rolled his eyes and said, “Are you really that naive? Can’t you see how old I am?

“I’m only six months! According to this world’s rules, I’m still too young to speak! So, do you think I can tell mom what I need?”

Xiao Ling, “…” Fine, he was wrong.

He had forgotten that they were in a normal world, and there were many natural rules that he was not familiar with.

“But you’re different. You look like you’re three or four years old, and you can speak fluently. And you’re the only one here, so you’re the only one who can help me.” Xiao Tong said.

Xiao Ling thought for a moment and said, “Okay!”
