Chapter 688: Chapter 13: Creating the Pure Essence Space, The Effects of the Xuanhuang Analysis Technique! (14,000)_6

But now, it’s of utmost importance.

"Buzz~"

The Gathering Essence Dantian began to operate rapidly, and Zhao Xing continuously activated the Yuan Condensing Method from the "Earth Return" secret technique.

With the first breath, the tenth ’Earth Sand’ appeared.

Ten light spots spun in the Gathering Essence Dantian’s Qi Vortex, followed by the eleventh, the twelfth...

With ample preparation, Zhao Xing’s condensing speed was very fast.

Almost every second, a new ’Earth Sand’ appeared.

After two hours, over a thousand had appeared.

After one day, the light spots in the Dantian’s Qi Vortex exceeded 86,400!

"These are the basic components of Pure Essence Soil," Zhao Xing observed his Dantian internally.

At this moment, due to the numerous light spots, the Gathering Essence Qi Vortex no longer looked dim and had a nebula-like appearance.

"Continue."

Zhao Xing focused his mind and continued burning through his money.

Yes, now it was purely a money-burning moment!

Generally speaking, a newly appointed fifth-rank Minister of Agriculture could, through self-cultivation without using any resources, condense ten ’Pure Essence Sand’ particles a day.

Now, he could condense 86,400 particles in a day!

Zhao Xing’s current speed was 8,640 times that of a normal Minister of Agriculture’s cultivation!

At such an exaggerated disparity, Zhao Xing’s talent or lack thereof was no longer relevant.

It was purely burning money.

Due to the good performance of the Dragon Horse Guard, Zhao Xing’s income, including bonuses, honors, and the basic salary of a standard sixth-rank official, was about 950,000 Military Realm Points annually.

This already exceeded the majority of fifth-rank officials. Without greed or looting, one would need to save every penny for over a hundred years to afford a Guiyuan Array for cultivation like this.

Two days later, the amount of Pure Essence Sand, also known as Earth Sand, exceeded 170,000.

Three days later, it reached 260,000.

...

As days passed, by the solar term of Xiaoman half a month later, the Pure Essence Sand in Zhao Xing’s Dantian had exceeded 1,300,000 grains.

Breaking a million, the condensing speed slowed down.

"It’s almost reaching the limit," Zhao Xing thought, "For early fifth-grade, the Gathering Essence Dantian’s capacity is roughly limited to a million Pure Essence Sand crystals."

A million grains sounded like a lot, but it was still quite little, insufficient to form soil.

"This is because the understanding of my realm in the secret territory just reached the threshold, and I’m only at the early fifth-grade stage."

Zhao Xing shut down the seventh-rank Guiyuan Array to avoid wasting its effectiveness.

He then extended his hand.

Whoosh~

Two cabinets and ten chests opened.

In an instant, the chamber was filled with a fragrant aroma as various elixirs and fruits flew over.

"I eat!"

Zhao Xing opened his mouth and began devouring these combinations of Primordial Energy treasures.

The advancement within the fifth-grade Pure Origin Realm was relatively easy because it only required the accumulation of Primordial Energy.

Unlike the fourth-grade Primordial Soul Realm, which required refining the Seven Spirits of the physical body.

In the Pure Essence Realm, one could directly purchase resources from the Military Realm, bypassing the arduous cultivation process.

From the early fifth-grade, he advanced directly to the fifth-grade perfection.

"This is the ninth Gathering Essence combination of the Military Realm, valued at eight million points, with no side effects, and it’s not expensive either."

Actually, calling it "not expensive" was relative; if it were a typical sixth-rank civil official without honors, relying solely on the basic salary, it would take a century to save up eight million Military Realm points.

Otherwise, why would Song Shiyang from Nanyang County be so eager for promotion, trying to curry favor with Zhao Xing, a standard sixth-rank?

Because he lacked innate talent and was occupied with official duties, he had no time for self-cultivation?

Since he had no time, reaching the fourth-grade required either: having money to buy precious resources for self-cultivation up to the fourth-grade Primordial Soul Realm.

Doing so would mean that as long as the performance wasn’t too bad, since he was already a fourth-grade, the court would prioritize promoting him, as promoting someone who is already a fourth-grade reduced the country’s Qi Fortune.

But a standard fifth-rank official without corruption would struggle to save enough money for that.

Only the second option remained: promotion.

For one who could never achieve the fourth-grade in his lifetime, relying on promotions and the court’s Qi Fortune blessings could forcibly elevate his status.

Upon achieving the rank, one naturally entered the fourth-grade Primordial Soul Realm.

Once in the fourth-rank realm, he could hone his spells; when the spell level matched, he would have the true strength of a fourth-grade official.

In the Primordial Qi Era, most officials from humble backgrounds could only rely on promotions to advance their realms.

Detaching from official duties to cultivate and upgrading through self-cultivation was something only noble families and powerful families could afford, as they didn’t need to work or make a living, held titles and noble ranks, and had opened pathways for advancement with wealth accumulated over dozens of generations.

But ordinary officials couldn’t afford it; office hours weren’t meant for cultivation but for work. Completing tasks enabled the court to promote them, and then there would be no need for self-cultivation.

After consuming the ninth Gathering Essence combination for half a month, Zhao Xing advanced from early to perfection within the Pure Essence Realm.

By then, it was already Summer Solstice of the 29th year in the Jingxin Calendar.

"Earth Return Array, activate!"

Once again, Zhao Xing activated the seventh-rank array, and under the illumination of the elemental crystals, he resumed condensing Pure Essence Sand.

This time, the speed was even faster, increasing by over 200,000 grains a day.

Forty days later, the Pure Essence Sand in Zhao Xing’s body had surpassed the ’ten million’ mark.

At this point, the Qi Vortex in the Dantian gleamed with a starlight that looked exceptionally brilliant.

"The ten million Pure Essence Sand grains are enough for me to condense Pure Essence Soil."

"However, this is still just the beginning, covering an area of only ten square meters, with an energy level of merely one."

"First-grade Pure Essence Soil, ten square meters, can only nurture a few plant species; it can only support Floating. With it around, there’s no room for anything else."
