193: Xiao Hei's location, the location of the Million Yuan Stone!

"In half a month at most, this old man will be able to reshape his Primordial Spirit and restore his cultivation!"

Hearing Second Master Sun's words, Mo Fan felt relieved.

As expected of a Medicinal Pill that only a King-grade Alchemist can refine.

Second Master Sun, whose Primordial Spirit had been withered for over twenty years, actually began to reconsolidate his Primordial Spirit Light and reshape his Primordial Spirit at this moment.

Furthermore, it would take at most half a month for his Primordial Spirit to be successfully reshaped, allowing him to resume his Cultivate.

It was also worth mentioning that although Second Master Sun had been stagnant all these years, he had never given up on the martial dao.

Now, having experienced the ups and downs, his understanding of the martial dao had become even more profound.

Though he currently kept his spirit restrained, his resilience was much stronger than it had been twenty years ago.

Mo Fan believed that as soon as Second Master Sun restored his cultivation, he would immediately reach the threshold and begin to charge toward the Supreme Realm.

Of course, it was still too early to say whether he would succeed or not.

After all, as of now, there were no more than ten Supreme experts in the entire Human Race.

One could only say that the naturally gifted Second Master Sun had a very high chance of becoming a Supreme once his Primordial Spirit was restored.

"Two or three months at most.

"In two or three months, the result—success or failure—will be known."

Leaving the Sun Residence, Mo Fan went to the city area to restock some supplies, filling up his somewhat empty system space.

Originally, he had planned to stay for lunch at Second Master Sun's house.

But a small interlude occurred in the middle, scaring him into running away immediately.

"Second Master Sun actually wanted to restore the marriage contract from back then. That's terrifying!"

When Second Master Sun brought up the idea, Mo Fan was so startled that he quickly stated he was still young and needed to focus on the martial dao, not considering such things for the time being... Returning to Chixia Peak, Mo Fan devoted himself to cultivating the Golden Body Art, pondering over Magic Arrays, Fields, and the dao of alchemy day and night, using every minute and second to improve himself.

Naturally, while working hard, he also waited for Little Black to adapt to the Heavenly Dao and locate Spirit Stones for him.

To become stronger quickly, he still had to rely on adding attribute points.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

As dawn broke, Mo Fan climbed out of bed with a joyful look on his face.

"Very good, I've dealt with the Red-Clothed Female Ghost once again. I can add points now!"

Clenching his fists, Mo Fan got up quickly and washed up.

He didn't rush to add points, but instead faced the rising sun to Cultivate the Golden Body Art.

A quarter of an hour later, Mo Fan regained his inner calm, focused his mind to connect to the virtual panel, and checked his attribute information.

Locking his gaze on the plus sign behind the cultivation column, Mo Fan took a deep breath and chose to add points.

In an instant, violent and mysterious information surged out from an unknown space, pouring down like a waterfall.

Mo Fan felt his brain roar as if immortal music was lingering in his ears, or like a great bell ringing, jolting him awake.

Then, the momentum of heaven and earth surged from the unknown space, flowing into his glabella to resonate with his spirit.

Mo Fan took a deep breath and sensed it carefully.

As time passed, Mo Fan's understanding of the momentum of heaven and earth grew deeper.

At the same time, his martial dao foundation embryo became increasingly solid, connecting with the body's hidden treasures to stimulate mysterious power, while also nourishing his Soul and increasing his spirit, which in turn fed back into his body, significantly enhancing his life potential.

Rumble!

His cultivation aura rose rapidly like a flood breaking through a dam.

Half an hour later, Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes.

Focusing his mind, he sensed the changes in his body, took a deep breath, and checked his attribute information.

[Name: Mo Fan (+)]

[Cultivation: Ninth Heavens Mandate (+)]

[...] (Click to expand)

[Available attribute points: 1 million]

His cultivation had successfully broken through to the Ninth Heavens Mandate.

The available attribute points decreased by one million, leaving the final one million.

"The attribute points are almost used up again, how miserable—" Mo Fan sighed helplessly.

He moved his gaze to the plus sign behind the name column, focused his mind slightly, and a prompt box popped up.

[Name: Mo Fan (+) (1 million / 10 million)]

"I wonder what effect adding points to the name column will actually have—"

Mo Fan became curious once again.

A single point addition required 10 million attribute points.

With such a terrifying consumption, he could reasonably make a guess.

Adding points to the name column would most likely result in unexpected benefits.

Originally, Mo Fan had expected to make a fortune in the Military Camp to achieve Spirit Stone freedom, while also adding a point to the name column to satisfy his curiosity.

Unfortunately, the Military Camp was also a pitfall; there weren't many Spirit Stones left at all, wasting his over two million military merits.

"I just want to earn some Spirit Stones, why is it so hard?" Mo Fan looked at the sky speechlessly.

"Now it's up to Little Black!

"I hope it adapts to the New World soon and locks onto a massive amount of Spirit Stones, making me rich in one go and achieving Spirit Stone freedom!

"Calculating the time, it should be about ready!"

However, the moment this thought arose in Mo Fan's mind, a black shadow swished inside.

"Meow meow meow, good news, good news meow!" Little Black shouted excitedly while running.

Seeing this, Mo Fan's eyes lit up.

Speak of the devil?

Could it be that Little Black had already adapted to the New World?

Taking a deep breath, Mo Fan asked with an expectant look, "What good news?"

"I've become a Pond Master!" Little Black rolled on the ground excitedly.

"Hall Master? What's that?" Mo Fan was dazed and felt a bit like hitting the cat.

What on earth was a Hall Master?

"It's Pond Master meow! From now on, the fish in the Spirit Spring are all under This Cat's management meow, hahaha!" Little Black laughed exaggeratedly, overjoyed.

"Uh? So that's what you meant?"

Mo Fan's face darkened as he continued:

"So, Senior Sister gave you the fish pond—bah, gave you the Spirit Spring to manage?"

"Yes meow, she saw that This Cat is cute and the fish listen to This Cat, so she let me be the Pond Master. From now on, the Spirit Spring is under This Cat's control, and I can eat the fish whenever I want, hahaha!"

Mo Fan rolled his eyes.

He didn't know how the black cat had gotten so close to Senior Sister Chen Sirou.

Last time he was at the Spirit Spring, he saw the two of them together.

One was meowing.

The other was eating dried small fish while chatting away to herself.

And just like that, they could actually communicate normally!

Absurd, simply too absurd!

Now it's even better; Chen Sirou actually handed the Spirit Spring over to Little Black!

Does this girl not know what it means to 'guard the granary and steal the grain'?

Isn't she afraid Little Black will ruin all her fish?

As if seeing through Mo Fan's thoughts, Little Black huffed:

"This Cat doesn't eat much, just two Spirit Fish a day, three at most, and I don't eat any of the shrimp, crabs, or other creatures at all.

"Under This Cat's pursuit, those Spirit Fish swim back and forth and get exercise, so their meat will naturally be more delicious. Hiring This Cat to manage the Spirit Spring is a great deal meow!"

Hearing this, Mo Fan couldn't help but be stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, it was true!

This fellow didn't want a salary.

Two or three fish a day really wasn't much.

But because it was constantly teasing and chasing the Spirit Fish in the Spirit Spring, it really was possible for the fish meat to become more delicious.

Where else could one find such a good breeder?

For Chen Sirou, this deal was not a loss no matter how she calculated it.

"As expected of the foodie Senior Sister, she really doesn't compromise when it comes to eating," Mo Fan lamented.

But soon, he froze, frowned, and stared at Little Black, saying:

"So the good news you mentioned is just this?"

"Doesn't this count as good news meow?" Little Black was taken aback. "From now on, This Cat can catch and eat fish openly meow, no need to sneak around anymore~"

"Dammit, it's just eating a fish. I thought you had already adapted to the New World. I got happy for nothing."

Mo Fan rolled his eyes at it and looked at the sky speechlessly, thinking this fellow was unreliable.

"Eh, how did you know This Cat has already adapted to the New World?" Little Black looked at Mo Fan in surprise.

"What did you say?" Mo Fan was stunned and quickly lowered his head, thinking he had misheard.

"You guessed right, This Cat has indeed adapted to the New World, hehe," Little Black chuckled.

"When did you adapt?" Mo Fan asked instinctively.

"Just half an hour ago. Isn't it impressive meow? To adapt to the new Heavenly Dao in such a short time, This Cat is truly a Genius!" Little Black looked proud.

"Hiss—" Mo Fan took a deep breath and gave a thumbs up. "Impressive, impressive! As expected of the Universe's strongest cat!"

"Hehe, in the future, by coordinating with Equality for All Beings, This Cat can even briefly take action without being discovered by the new Heavenly Dao. The world is vast, and I can go anywhere~"

Little Black jumped onto the dining table, pulled the Grilled Fish Mo Fan had placed on the plate toward itself, and began to eat with a look of enjoyment.

"Meow-wu, so fragrant! One can never get tired of Grilled Fish!"

Mo Fan completely ignored its foodie appearance and asked with some surprise:

"Coordinating with Equality for All Beings, how long can you fight without being discovered by the New World?"

"One breath!" Little Black said proudly.

"Hiss—" Mo Fan took a deep breath. "So you're a one-second man, my apologies!"

Little Black glared at Mo Fan and huffed: "After digesting that demon core, This Cat's cultivation has recovered to the Supreme Middle Stage.

"As long as I go all out, in a battle between those at this level, let alone one breath, even a tenth or a hundredth of a breath can determine the outcome."

"That makes sense." Mo Fan nodded in agreement.

Of course, that wasn't what he was concerned about.

Taking a breath, Mo Fan suppressed his inner excitement and asked casually:

"So, are you now able to perceive the location of Spirit Stones from a long distance?"

"Of course meow! As long as the quantity of Spirit Stones is large enough and the gathered energy is significant, This Cat can perceive them no matter which corner of the Blue Star they are in!" the black cat said quickly while eating the fish.

Hearing this, Mo Fan nodded and sat down, taking out the exquisite breakfast he had cooked yesterday from the system space and beginning to eat with Little Black.

As he ate, he said, "Then hurry up and eat. Once you're done, help me locate the position of the Origin Stones."

"No problem, meow. As soon as This Cat finishes this Grilled Fish, I'll lock it down for you. It's a piece of cake!" Little Black munched noisily on the Spirit Fish.

"This is so delicious, meow. You're the best pooper scooper at cooking that This Cat has ever met." The black cat had a look of pure enjoyment.

"pooper scooper?" Mo Fan was taken aback. "That term existed in your era too?"

"No, meow. This Cat learned it from your daughter and thought it suited you quite well," Little Black said.

Mo Fan: "?"

"Suits my foot! You're not allowed to call me that from now on, or no more Grilled Fish for you."

"Alright, meow. I get it, meow. I won't call you pooper scooper anymore, meow!" Hearing that there might be no more Grilled Fish, Little Black hurriedly nodded in promise.

Crunch, crunch—

After finishing the meat, Little Black started gnawing on the bones. They were crunchy and crisp; even Mo Fan thought it looked appetizing.

"Do you only like eating Grilled Fish? Actually, there are other ways to cook fish that are delicious too—braised, steamed, deep-fried, fish with pickled cabbage, chopped chili fish head, and so on. They all taste great. Don't you want to try them?" Mo Fan asked.

"No, meow. This Cat only eats Grilled Fish. Grilled Fish is the most fragrant; I won't eat anything else." Little Black shook his head in refusal.

"Fair enough." Mo Fan nodded and concentrated on his meal, asking no more.

Soon, the entire fish, including the bones, was devoured by Little Black.

"I'm so full, meow—" It patted its round little belly with a satisfied look and lay motionless on the table.

Seeing this, Mo Fan quickly finished the rest of his breakfast in a few bites.

After a quick cleanup, Mo Fan nudged the motionless Little Black:

"Wake up. Now that you're full, it's time to work," Mo Fan urged.

"Wait for This Cat for two more minutes—" Little Black said lazily while patting his belly.

Mo Fan: "..."

Whatever, I've waited this long anyway.

Waiting a bit longer won't hurt.

Fortunately, Little Black was reliable.

Two minutes meant exactly two minutes.

Two minutes later, Little Black was fully revived and leaped from the dining table onto Mo Fan's shoulder with a swish.

"Is it starting?" Mo Fan began to feel expectant.

"Yes, This Cat is starting now!"

Little Black concentrated, his eyes half-closed, as he activated his innate Divine Ability and began to sense seriously.

Soon, the previously hidden tattered kasaya slowly emerged, wrapping tightly around Little Black and emitting traces of a mysterious aura.

In that instant, even though Little Black was right before his eyes, Mo Fan had the illusion that he couldn't see him.

He clearly sensed that his own eyes seemed to be trying to deceive him.

In addition, his brain began to feed back some ambiguous information, trying to make him perceive Little Black, along with Equality for All Beings, as a mere illusion.

"Hiss, is it really this miraculous?" Mo Fan found it unbelievable.

If his will hadn't been so firm, he might have truly doubted whether Little Black and Equality for All Beings were real.

No wonder it could evade the detection of the "New World."

Besides that, Equality for All Beings could also pull enemies down to the same level as oneself.

Of course, this skill had its limits; it only worked on beings up to one major Realm higher than oneself.

If the difference in strength was too vast, Equality for All Beings was helpless.

But even so, it was terrifying.

If Mo Fan took another step forward and reached a Breakthrough to the Returning to Origin stage, and then used Equality for All Beings to shroud himself, he might be able to directly solo a Supreme!

"Terrifying indeed!" Mo Fan sighed with emotion.

If I had such a means.

Where in this vast world could I not go?

I'd be practically invincible!

Unfortunately, Little Black couldn't leave Equality for All Beings.

And Mo Fan couldn't use this thing.

Time passed minute by minute.

After a full hour, Little Black finally opened his eyes slowly.

"How is it? What did you sense? Is there anywhere with a particularly large number of Origin Stones?"

To this, Little Black concentrated and deliberated for a moment, organizing his thoughts before speaking:

"With This Cat's sensing ability, as long as more than a thousand Origin Stones are gathered together, I can sense their approximate location."

Pausing, Little Black continued, "Including Yuxu Academy, and making no distinction between small spaces and the current world, there are six locations where more than a thousand Origin Stones are gathered."

"Only six?" Mo Fan was dumbfounded.

This was far fewer than he had imagined.

To this, Little Black shook his head and said:

"Six locations is already quite good.

"After all, they are products of our era; it's already very difficult for them to have been preserved, meow.

"Aside from our Pojun City, there are probably no more than three factions that could preserve Origin Stones under the World-Ending Calamity."

"I see." Mo Fan realized.

Under the World-Ending Calamity, all things perished, the extraordinary vanished, and the world returned to the Dharma Ending Age.

Preserving Origin Stones was clearly no simple task.

Little Black stretched out a paw to scratch his back but found he was too fat to reach. He gave up in frustration and turned to Mo Fan for help.

"Mo Fan pooper—er, Comrade Mo Fan, help This Cat scratch?"

Mo Fan gave him a sidelong glance, picked him up from his shoulder, and began massaging him with all ten fingers.

"Meow-wu, so comfortable~" Little Black stretched his limbs with a blissful expression.

"Keep talking," Mo Fan reminded him.

"Okay, meow," Little Black nodded and continued.

"In This Cat's perception, excluding your Yuxu Academy, among these locations, only two have a large amount of Origin Stones.

"The other three don't have many Spirit Stones.

"One location has a number of Origin Stones comparable to your Yuxu Academy.

"The other two have fewer Origin Stones than Yuxu Academy, probably less than twenty thousand."

"Where are they? Are they far?" Mo Fan asked.

"Some are far and some are near. The closest is a few thousand kilometers away, while the farthest is nearly a million kilometers from us," Little Black said truthfully.

"A million kilometers?" Mo Fan was stunned. "That far?"

A million kilometers away would naturally not be within the Human Race territory anymore.

It would be either in the Demon Race or the Yao Race.

"Can demons and yao also absorb Origin Stones to Cultivate?" Mo Fan was puzzled.

"No, meow. The physical structure of the Demon and Fiend Races is different from the Human Race, and their cultivation systems are also very different.

"The Demon Race relies on devouring special substances to improve themselves, while the Yao Race relies on Bloodline purification and Bloodline atavism.

"So whether it's the Yao Race or the Demon Race, they cannot absorb Origin Stones to Cultivate," Little Black said.

As if remembering something, Little Black added, "The batch of Origin Stones a million kilometers away is also the largest, dozens or even a hundred times more than the reserves in Yuxu Academy—"

"Hiss!" Hearing this, Mo Fan couldn't help but gasp.

"Doesn't that mean there are over a million Origin Stones?

"Why would the demons and yao store so many Origin Stones?" While shocked, Mo Fan was also somewhat confused.

"They were probably moved there from other places and might have other uses, such as maintaining a Magic Array or constructing basic Field points.

"After all, in our era, the human, demon, and devil three races had lived in harmony for thousands of years. It's not strange for there to be Magic Arrays and Field points in the Yao Race territory."

"So as for what these Origin Stones are specifically used for, This Cat doesn't know either." Little Black spread his paws.

"I see." Mo Fan was lost in thought, his mind racing.

If that batch of Origin Stones was collected and preserved by the demons and yao of Little Black's era using special methods...

Then now, that batch of Origin Stones is very likely in a desolate place without any powerful demons or yao guarding it.

In that case, if he were to sneak over and take that batch of Origin Stones without anyone knowing, wouldn't he strike it rich?

Converted, that would be over a hundred million attribute points. He could even extravagantly add points ten times in the name column!

Of course, Mo Fan wasn't blinded by these hundred million attribute points.

He took a deep breath to calm his emotions, set Little Black down, and walked toward the exit of the Immortal Cave while deep in thought, instructing:

"Little Black, wait for me in the Immortal Cave for a bit. I'll be right back."

"Okay, meow. This Cat happens to want to lie down for a while. I'll go release the fish later," Little Black said lazily.

Mo Fan: "..."

As expected of a Nine-Lived Spirit Cat, he found a job just after integrating into the New World.

Leaving the Immortal Cave, Mo Fan turned into a streak of light and flew toward the inner court Library Pavilion.

The Library Pavilion was somewhat different from the Scripture Hall.

The Scripture Hall housed Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.

The Library Pavilion housed books and information on humanities, science, and technology.

Showing his Identity Token, Mo Fan walked directly into the Library Pavilion and began to swim in the vast ocean of knowledge.

A few minutes later, he found what he wanted and turned to leave... A short while later, Mo Fan returned to the Immortal Cave.

He gathered his thoughts, then found an open area and spread a map, six meters wide and four meters long, which he had brought back from the Library Pavilion, onto the ground.

Then, he turned to look at Little Black: "Little Black, come here. Locate the approximate position of the million Origin Stones again and mark it on the map!"

"Meow meow meow? Such a big map?" Little Black was surprised.

"Can you find the corresponding area on the map based on the position you sensed?" Mo Fan asked.

"Of course. Give This Cat a few minutes to get familiar with it, and it'll be about done!" Little Black said confidently.
