The amount of True Qi I was able to bleed off of this one singular saint crystal was not small. Each time it passed through my disc, I would be bathed in an immense amount of True Qi. The amount slowly decreased over time. Though it wasn't a big difference. However, I noticed something else with this method. It felt like… this could be an excellent dual cultivation method. If I used this, I could break down any crystal or, for that matter… Hmm… I wonder… I'll have to try that some other time.
The Seniors were baffled at what they saw. At least at first. What changed their minds? Well, they all remembered how I killed a 1st order Saint Realm practically in one blow. Though it was really 2. However, I did technically defeat them in one. The second was just to finish him off.
"Senior Yuan Lao! He… My Junior brother is actually doing it! Isn't he amazing!" the most senior sister said.
"Oh! I just wanna hug him and kiss him. Come to senior sister, she will treat junior brother well." the least senior sister said, starting to run out.
"Woah there, Junior sister Xue, You wouldn't want to hurt Junior brother, would you?" The most senior brother said, getting in her way.
"No! I would never want to hurt my cute and cuddly junior brother." Senior sister Xue said, with a pouty face.
"Well if Junior sister Xue was to go and disturb him now, you might cause some hidden danger to happen. You wouldn't want that, would you?" the most senior brother said.
Senior sister Xue just stared piercingly at the most senior brother. She did this while pouting cutely. However, it was all for not. Most senior brother was firm in this. There would be nothing she could do.
I decided to activate my Heavenly Eye. I could tell almost instantly that all of my seniors minus Senior Yuan Lao were still heavily injured. It seems they were just putting on airs in front of their Junior. I decided to do something after figuring this information out. I focused hard and began splitting up the Qi into 8 other parts and then placed them around me. Closer to the ground.
"Senior brothers and sisters. It has been hard on you these past few days. Come rest and recover. This junior brother is healed. So let this junior brother return the favor." I said, with lightning crackling around me.
"Junior brother knows how to treat his beautiful sisters!" they all said sitting beneath the True Qi points I had designated.
The Senior brothers did the same with a bit of reluctance at first but when they saw just how fast the sisters were healing. Any sort of pride went out the window.
"Senior Yuan Lao, I must thank you for suggesting this. I can already see many good uses for it in the future." I said.
"Ahahaha, Disciple Wang An Leiji is one hell of a genius. Congratulations on discovering a dual cultivation method. As well as a way for you to utilize Saint Crystals. I'll give you some more. You can keep the space ring too." Senior Yuan Lao said, tossing over a space ring with thousands of saint crystals.
"Thank you so much senior! I won't forget this kindness." I said, seeing the gains were not small by any means.
"Alright. It seems they will be safe for now. I doubt that other one will come to seek trouble again. So I'll head back first, take care." Senior Yuan Lao said, moving to leave.
"Senior before you go please take this and pass it on to the sect in charge of that city half a day's flight away. I worry there may be some issues going on there." I said, forming a bead of light on my finger.
"You… you already have a Knowledge Sea! Holy Shit! I knew you were impressive but damn." Senior Yuan Leo said as he received the information realizing that one needs a Knowledge Sea and thus a Divine Soul in order to pass a great deal of information like that. "Achem… pardon. I'll be going now. I trust you will be well." he added, just before leaving.
Shortly after he left the saint crystal had been completely drained. In fact it had been completely used up. There wasn't even a shell of its former self left afterwards. The Senior brothers and sisters were able to quickly recover as a result of this and one even felt as though they could break through at any moment.
"Alright, Now that tragedy has struck we need to make a choice. Do we stay and continue hunting or leave and head home." The most senior brother said, now fully recovered.
"I wanna do what my Junior brother wants to do!" Senior Sister Xue said.
"I planned on hunting here for a few years. During which I would cultivate in peace. The Taboo brothers ruined most…" I said, stopping as I felt something resonate with me. "... of those plans." I added in a curious tone.
"Is something wrong Junior brother Leiji?" The most senior brother asked curiously.
"No, I just felt something resonate quite strongly with me coming from that direction. I think… that might just very well be the Thunder Temple." I said, focusing on that resonance and hard.
"Does Junior brother want to check it out?" The second most senior brother asked.
"I feel it doesn't matter if I want to or not. I feel as though this opportunity was made for me. Thus I must go. Senior Brothers and Sisters may come if you wish. But this Junior brother won't force you." I said, landing now that I was fully recovered, it was now time to go crazy with my new cultivation.
"Us Seniors will accompany Junior Brother!" the Sisters all said.
"Sisters! We just…" the third most senior brother started.
"What! Us sisters would have been violated if it wasn't for Junior Brother.And then all of us would have been dead. Do you want to ignore repaying this cutie?" the first most Senior sister said.
"Senior sister Xun is right! Hmpf…" Senior sister Xue said, crossing her arms and turning slightly to the side.
"Alright We should all go and see what this Thunder Temple has in store for us." The most Senior brother said.
"Kekeke, it seems even senior brother Xiang can't win against his fiance." the second most senior sister said.
"Junior Sister Xia! That's… not fair. No man could possibly say no to Sister Xun." Senior Brother Xiang said, embarrassed at the truth of the matter.
"Alright now that that's settled, let's go and explore. WOO HOO! I wonder how many monsters there are." I said, snickering at the thought of a swarm of thunder beasts.
