The moment Wang Chen stepped into the Cave Mansion, he instinctively drew in a deep breath.
He felt a faint, intoxicated buzz.
This high-level Qi Condensation Cave Mansion, only large enough for one person to cultivate in, was located on North Mountain in Myriad Cultivator City. Its rent was as high as one hundred and twenty Spirit Stones per twelve-hour day—equivalent to ten Spirit Stones per hour!
Even Wang Chen, who had earned quite a few Spirit Stones by selling Talismans, found the price painful.
But there was no helping it.
Myriad Cultivator City's grand formation not only suppressed cultivators' Mana, but also sealed off Heaven and Earth spiritual energy. Though the cultivation environment was not as terrible as that of the Mortal World, it was still several degrees worse than the Outer Region.
Only the thousands of Cave Mansions of varying sizes on North Mountain were exempt from the grand formation's restrictions.
Wang Chen had settled in Myriad Cultivator City for some time now. This was his first time renting a Cave Mansion on North Mountain, yet he had unexpectedly experienced "Spirit Intoxication."
The rent was indeed expensive, but the spiritual energy density here completely surpassed that of a Cave Mansion of the same grade in Yunyang City.
It was extremely suitable for Wang Chen, who had already reached peak Qi Condensation.
Time was precious. He immediately sealed the entrance and sat down on a meditation cushion.
He began cultivating the Five Elements Technique.
The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy filling the surrounding space was silently absorbed into Wang Chen's body. Driven by his cultivation technique, it gathered in his Dantian and was refined into pure Mana.
The condensed Mana then flowed upward through the eight extraordinary meridians, nourishing his five viscera and six bowels before reaching his limbs
