After an unknown number of days of experiments, Huo Hai had gradually used up all the wine in his hands. It could not really be called using it up; he had merely converted all the fine wine once, and it was no longer of much use to the Wine Insects.
One corner of the Inner Space was now piled full of Spirit Energy Crystals. Through Huo Hai's experiments, he had found that whether they were eaten, absorbed while held in the hand, or directly broken down and absorbed within the Inner Space, the effect was the same.
Absorbing even a little would advance his cultivation by a little. With the time needed to absorb and refine spirit energy eliminated, the time spent using Spirit Energy Crystals to raise one's strength could practically be ignored. Without a bottleneck, absorbing large quantities of Spirit Energy Crystals could quickly bring one to the limit their cultivation could reach. It was just a pity there were not enough Spirit Energy Crystals.
What a pity. To refine everything completely, I'll probably need more than a million Spirit Jade. Huo Hai silently calculated. The Spirit Energy Crystals condensed from a million Spirit Jade could allow him to rapidly finish fusing his spirit energy.
It also took time for Spirit-Gathering Insects to devour Spirit Jade. Fortunately, the first Spirit-Gathering Insects to evolve had already appeared. With Huo Hai's help, the strongest had barely reached the level of the Spirit General Realm. Both their speed and quality in condensing Spirit Energy Crystals had improved considerably.
Moreover, the spirit energy consumed in the process had been reduced greatly. Huo Hai had gradually found a way to make this Spirit General Realm Spirit-Gathering Insect reproduce rapidly. The offspring of a Spirit General Realm Spirit-Gathering Insect could all reach the Spirit
