Inside the cave abode, Four identical figures sat cross-legged facing one another atop White Jade Meditation Cushions.
Between them, Glowing patterns interwove across the ground, forming a profound formation.
Atop the formation diagram, Lay a heap of high-grade Spirit Stones.
A rough count
Put their number at well over a hundred!
Yet none of the four figures paid the slightest attention to the pile of high-grade Spirit Stones before them.
Their eyes were tightly closed, Their focus wholly concentrated, As they devoted every shred of mind and energy to cultivation!
They remained utterly undisturbed by the outside world.
At the same time, As the four cultivation arts circulated, The formation above the pile of Spirit Stones began to operate.
Dazzling radiance flickered and flowed without end. The spiritual qi within the once crystalline Spirit Stones was continuously drawn out and refined, transforming into streams of incomparably pure mana that surged into the bodies of the four figures like a raging flood.
The vast mana was almost tangible, blazing with brilliant light as it linked the four figures together!
The rushing, boiling mana continuously circulated back and forth among the four of them, To the point that it even formed an enormous vortex in the air!
The surrounding space
Twisted visibly beneath the effects of this immense power!
Layer upon layer of visible spatial ripples spread outward.
Drawn by that powerful mana, even the surrounding space seemed to have been turned into a vortex!
Yet at this moment, Not one of the four figures paid any heed to what was happening around them.
All of them had wholeheartedly immersed their consciousness within their bodies, Rapidly digesting the immense mana gained from refining that pure spiritual qi, Branding it all with their own marks
And turning it into their own power!
Thus,
