Putting everything else aside, Li Xingkong directly reached out and took the bead that sealed the concept of Traversal.
Once he got the bead, the world around Li Xingkong spun around him instantly, and he was pulled out of the treasure vault.
"You can find me on the third floor for any future quests or to exchange for magical artifacts."
The waiter nodded at Li Xingkong, but ignored what was in his hand.
If one doesn't even have this much self-control, how can one hold a position in this steward's office?
Li Xingkong was overjoyed to have obtained the Concept Bead. He only caught the gist of what the attendant said and nodded habitually.
At this moment, what could be more important to Li Xingkong than studying this concept?
He was completely absorbed in this tiny bead, his eyes unable to see anything else.
The waiter had seen many people like Li Xingkong; it was a kind of fanaticism unique to scholars.
Although the Era of Chaos is the domain of battle maniacs, it is also the best place for endless scholars to conduct research.
Li Xingkong couldn't remember how he got out of the building; he only remembered following Yisu and the others forward.
When Li Xingkong snapped out of his research, he found himself sitting in a living room. Looking around, he realized he had arrived at the cave dwelling of Yisu and his group.
Although the Era of Chaos was plagued by constant warfare, there was still enough space within the area Fallout from the Jade Void Base for disciples to carve out cave dwellings and rest temporarily.
The cave dwelling wasn't large, with only a few rooms set aside for living and cultivation. For Yisu and the other two, this size of cave dwelling was sufficient for their daily rest.
After all, they spent most of their time fighting outside, and resting in this cave was an occasional occurrence.
However, with Li Xingkong added, the size becomes somewhat limited, especially since Li Xingkong also needs to study concepts.
This thing is very dangerous; it requires a sufficiently large space to study it.
"Senior, you've recovered?"
A door opened, and Fufu came out of her room. It looked like she was going to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Seeing that Li Xingkong had recovered, she greeted him politely.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Li Xingkong reached out and clenched the beads in his hand, feeling somewhat emotional.
He couldn't remember the last time he was so engrossed, but after seeing this bead, he lost his composure once again.
"It's nothing, just a small favor."
"If you don't mind that our cave is small, you are welcome to stay for a few more days."
Fufu brought some food from the kitchen and shared some with Li Xingkong.
The packaging of this snack is quite futuristic; it looks like a snack from Fufu's era.
I took a bite and it was surprisingly good.
"Though the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs."
"By the way, are there any special rules or customs associated with the creation of this cave?"
Li Xingkong asked.
"To open a cave dwelling, you need to complete the corresponding tasks and obtain the opening permit. As for how large the cave dwelling can be, that depends on the individual's skill. We pooled up quite a bit of contribution to invite a fellow Daoist who is proficient in earth element to open a cave dwelling of this size for us."
Speaking of this, Fufu was still a little jealous. They fought to the death for such a small contribution, while these guys who opened up the caves could take half of it with just a wave of their hands.
"Can't we create our own cave dwelling?"
Li Xingkong didn't think it was that difficult to open up a cave dwelling.
"That won't do. We need to find coordinates, create a cave space, calculate the stability of the space, and set up formations and such. The few of us can't do that."
Fufu listed a whole bunch of things, as if opening up a cave dwelling was indeed very difficult.
"Isn't this something anyone can do..."
Although Li Xingkong didn't say it aloud, he did indeed mutter a complaint in his mind.
These are all basic skills for cultivators.
"Putting aside other things, when it comes to space, it's something that ordinary cultivators would find very difficult to handle."
Fufu reached out and took a few more bags from the refrigerator.
Li Xingkong was a little curious. Was there something difficult about it?
" Fufu, tell me the truth, how much do you really understand about space and time?"
"Spatial space—I can tear open spatial rifts to move around in small worlds, but not in the Primordial World. As for time, hehe, I only came to the battlefield through an item from the Empire; I know absolutely nothing about it."
Fufu said as he ate.
"That shouldn't be possible, how can someone Nascent Soul?"
Li Xingkong felt as if he were looking at an illiterate person.
"Why shouldn't we see them? Those powerful techniques and items are all in the hands of a few people. How could we possibly see them! This Era of Chaos is much better; you can exchange anything for contributions."
"Uh... okay."
Li Xingkong almost asked the same question as Qian Lao.
"Even someone who's not very bright can't learn calculus, right?"
Resources and experience determine an individual's judgment ability, and this is no joke.
"Etc..."
What did Li Xingkong think of?
" Fufu, you can at least create something from nothing, right?"
He saw Fufu taking food from the kitchen and initially thought it was for the sake of ritual, but after exchanging a few words with her, he realized that might not be the case.
"A creation of nothingness... what is that?"
"Energy is conserved! Aren't you from the future?!"
Li Xingkong gave an example, pointing with his hand, and a mountain of snacks appeared in front of him, which were the snacks that Fufu had just brought.
"Um!!"
Li Xingkong clearly saw that her eyes widened several times over, almost popping out of their sockets.
"How did you do that! You didn't even have a blueprint!"
Fufu was stunned.
In her view, without a blueprint, it is impossible to create anything, especially snacks like these. She bought the blueprints in her time; they didn't exist in this Primordial World.
This was the first time she had ever seen Li Xingkong such abilities.
"Okay, I understand."
Li Xingkong patted his head.
Although they are all disciples of the Jade Void Sect, the training and treatment they receive are quite different.
Not everyone has access to a free pool of cultivation techniques provided by the system, nor do all cultivators possess such broad knowledge.
Li Xingkong felt that cultivators like Fufu were born to come to this battlefield and fight.
What I learned had absolutely no theoretical basis; it was just copying what I learned, as long as it worked.
While they may possess a keen sense of combat and a strong ability to fight to the death, they know very little about the principles, advancement, and the underlying aspects of cultivation.
"Um... could you teach me this?"
Fufu stared longingly at the pile of snacks. If she could learn how to make them, she wouldn't have to spend so much time and effort on food.
Li Xingkong glanced at her.
"Won't you get tired of eating just this one kind?"
"No, of course not, I could eat this for hundreds of years and never get tired of it."
This child is really lacking in material resources.
Li Xingkong looked around and took a tablecloth from the cave.
He raised his hand and refined it for a while, then engraved several layers of magic arrays on it, and the tablecloth immediately changed its appearance.
"Hey, here, take this magic item: Gourmet Tablecloth. Just look at it and think of the things you've eaten, and the tablecloth will be generated instantly."
It's no exaggeration to say that Li Xingkong could now easily craft and play with even the exaggerated yet interesting rule-based gadgets from Doraemon.
