Yang Ling thought it over, then immediately called over a group of supervisors and told them to have the miners permanently seal the entrance to Mine Tunnel 36.
The reason was simple: there were terrifying Mine Worms inside.
Seeing this, Gao Chen and the other two assumed Yang Ling was trying to conceal the existence of that Monster Spawn Point.
They were a little disappointed. Once the entrance was sealed, it would be difficult for them to sneak in and level up in the future.
From then on, Yang Ling spent two or three hours each day patrolling the ore veins or mine shafts.
Whenever the urge struck him, he would dig for a little while.
He spent the rest of his time cultivating the Vajra Mingwang Technique and Lingxu Step.
In just two days, Lingxu Step advanced to First Glimpse of the Door.
At that point, Yang Ling realized he had made a mistake.
"I shouldn't have used up those Spirit Nurturing Pills so carelessly..."
Yang Ling couldn't help shaking his head.
If he had saved at least two of them, he could have immediately advanced Lingxu Step to Mastery Through Practice.
That would have increased his Agility by a full 24 points.
"Next time I get Spirit Nurturing Pills, I should hold on to some for a while and see how things go before deciding what to do with them."
"For every Martial Skill, the Proficiency required for the first two levels is fixed: one hundred and one thousand. With a Spirit Nurturing Pill, you can master the first level quickly."
"No wonder a first-rate sect could make even the imperial court show them respect."
"With the same aptitude, one person might cultivate a first-rate Martial Skill, while another might practice an inferior skill like Black Tiger Fist."
