Xiang Yu opened his eyes within the vast expanse of his spiritual sea, his expression stern as he contemplated the countless battles he had fought in simulation. After reaching a hundred, he had simply lost track. The extensive time spent in battle simulations had pushed his mental endurance to its limits, though thankfully his elevated Mind level allowed him to withstand the strain without breaking.
A satisfied smile spread across his face. After countless iterations, he had finally progressed to the point where he could put up a respectable defense against the peak Core Formation Meiling. Victory still eluded him, but this wasn’t due to any inherent weakness on his part—it was merely a matter of technique mastery. Once he perfected one of his techniques or reached the Great Completion stage, the gap would narrow significantly.
With a thoughtful sigh, Xiang Yu decided it was time to return to his physical form. The soul infant remained perched atop his head, deeply immersed in its cultivation routine. With gentle movements, he carefully lifted the tiny being and placed it on the shimmering surface of the spiritual sea. The infant didn’t stir from its meditative trance, its small features locked in perfect concentration. After confirming the little one’s condition was stable, Xiang Yu withdrew his consciousness.
His eyes opened to the familiar surroundings of the spirit vein. Having acquired new professions in farming and medicine, he decided to dedicate this session to developing these skills. He approached his garden plot.
Though there wasn’t much maintenance required, he took the opportunity to expand the cultivated area significantly, planting additional seedlings in neat rows and irrigating the established plants. He also infused spiritual qi into the soil, enhancing its nurturing properties. Though just slightly since it already had adequate qi concentration.
After tending to his garden for some time, Xiang Yu’s thoughts turned to medicine. While he had several ideas in mind, he needed to consult with his martial aunt before proceeding further. For now, he would focus on a different project.
Leaving the spirit vein, Xiang Yu made his way to the animal pen where he’d been gradually assembling a collection of creatures. Over time, he had increased his menagerie to twenty boars, along with several vicuñas and other species. He transported the entire collection to the spirit vein, constructing separate enclosures for each animal type. The careful segregation would prevent unwanted interaction while allowing him to monitor each species independently.
With the animals settled, Xiang Yu proceeded to his planned experiment. Among the valuable resources Meiling had provided were several lightwell flowers. He refined these into seventh-grade healing pills.
Next came the challenging part—transforming some of the lightwell flowers into midnight flowers for crafting qi absorption pills. Activating his divine ability, he began the painstaking process of converting each blossom. The transformation drained his energy considerably, but fortunately, his soul infant’s diligent cultivation accelerated his recovery. As his strength returned, he would craft a pill, then move on to transforming another flower. Through this approach, he successfully produced fifteen qi absorption pills.
He decided to set aside five pills for Xiuying as he didn’t want the stress of refining qi absorption pills later without the infant restoring his energy. Xiang Yu reserved the remainder for his spirit beast creation project..
From the remaining ten pills, Xiang Yu carefully administered one to a female boar, ensuring that Zero would have a mate for reproduction. He remained uncertain whether offspring from a normal mother would inherit spirit beast characteristics, and preferred not to risk finding out through trial and error. Two more pills went to a male and female vicuña.
