Spirit Enhancement Pills were quite common in my previous life, and almost every cultivator carried some. The spiritual energy in a Spirit Enhancement Pill was not much, but it was extremely useful in and after battles. Of course, cultivators could also absorb the spiritual energy in Spirit Enhancement Pills to accelerate their cultivation.
The reason why Luo Lingxing never told Han Junzhan these things was twofold. Firstly, he didn’t have many Spirit Enhancement Pills left, so he could only save them for emergencies. Secondly, they could usually absorb Power of Faith, and there were no natural enemies here, so their cultivation didn’t need to be forced to grow faster with Spirit Enhancement Pills. They could proceed steadily and surely.
He had just taken out a pill to replenish Han Junzhan’s spiritual energy because it was Han Junzhan’s first time using spiritual energy in battle, and he had accidentally overused it. The feeling of exhausting spiritual energy was very unpleasant, so he took out a pill to help Han Junzhan replenish some spiritual energy and make him feel better.
Han Junzhan didn’t ask any further questions. Just by hearing the name, he knew it belonged to Luoluo from his previous life, and it must have been quite precious. After all, he had never seen Luoluo use it before, but this time he was using it for him, which made him feel sweet inside. There was no need to press for details. Luoluo would explain it to him when he wanted to, and if he didn’t want to, he didn’t have to say anything.
“Let’s find a place to rest, and you can recover your spiritual energy,” Luo Lingxing said.
Han Junzhan has just finished a battle, and his spiritual energy has been completely drained. He needed to rest and recover. After a battle, the spiritual energy would become more condensed and more powerful.
They were currently on a flat area in the forest with limited cover, and they could encounter large wild animals at any time. In that case, only Luo Lingxing would be able to fight, which would be quite dangerous.
Luo Lingxing released his divine sense to search for a good place to hide nearby, preferably in a mountain cave, where he could avoid encountering large wild beasts. Caves were also the most common resting place for people who were training in the outside world.
It seemed that fate always favored Luo Lingxing, for he soon found a suitable place for him.
“There’s a mountain peak ten miles to the west. Let’s go there,” Luo Lingxing said to Han Junzhan.
Then, the two of them headed towards the mountain peak. On a planet with such a pristine ecosystem, as long as there were mountains, there must be natural caves on them. Han Junzhan could then absorb the Power of Faith there to restore his strength.
Moreover, many rare and precious materials grew in dangerous places on mountain peaks. In the past, they only thought about cultivating when they came here, but never thought about whether there were any treasures here. Now they could explore.
However, Luo Lingxing didn’t hold out much hope for it, since this planet had no spiritual energy at all, and cultivating spiritual plants was harder than climbing to heaven.
Since Han Junzhan didn’t have much spiritual energy, the two of them didn’t plan to slowly walk there. Instead, they took out their mechas and drove them quickly towards the mountain.
The mecha was naturally much faster than a human, and it arrived at the foot of the mountain in just a few minutes. Han Junzhan then piloted the mecha to continue climbing the mountain until they found a natural cave halfway up the mountain. Only then did they put the mecha away, and the two of them carefully entered the cave.
Luo Lingxing sent out his divine senses to investigate whether there were any other creatures in the cave. He found that the cave was not large and there were no large wild animals, so he decided to use the cave as their lodging for the next few days.
“You stay here and recover your spiritual energy. I’ll go out and check the surroundings,” Luo Lingxing said to Han Junzhan.
However, Han Junzhan grabbed Luo Lingxing’s hand and said disapprovingly, “I’ll go with you.”
How could he possibly let Luoluo go out and face danger alone? Even though he knew Luoluo’s strength, this was a matter of principle, and he would never compromise.
“What you need most right now is to restore your spiritual energy. I can protect myself,” Luo Lingxing said, turning his head.
Although the cave was currently safe, the outside world was not so safe. If there were any dangerous creatures nearby, they could be trapped inside the cave, which would be even more dangerous. However, Han Junzhan insisted on not compromising. He could agree to anything else with Luoluo and compromise with him, but he would never compromise on matters concerning Luoluo’s safety.
“I’m worried about you going alone. If you insist on going, I have to go with you. We can use the mecha,” Han Junzhan said.
Seeing Han Junzhan’s resolute expression, Luo Lingxing knew he wouldn’t compromise, so he had no choice but to compromise himself.
“Alright, I won’t go out. You should quickly absorb the Power of Faith to recover,” Luo Lingxing said, then sat down next to Han Junzhan, indicating that he wouldn’t go out.
Even if he didn’t go out, he could observe the surroundings at any time. His divine sense now had a wider range, so he could still explore the surroundings. It was just that he felt tired after using his divine sense.
However, given the current situation, this was clearly the only option.
Seeing that Luo Lingxing finally no longer wanted to go out alone, Han Junzhan closed his eyes with peace of mind and began to absorb the surrounding Power of Faith.
Luo Lingxing released his divine sense, carefully probing the surrounding situation.
The mountain wasn’t high, and the vegetation wasn’t as lush as in the forest. There were also far fewer animals than in the forest. Occasionally, one or two small, defenseless animals could be seen grazing. Not a single large wild beast was seen. This made Luo Lingxing breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she became suspicious of the surrounding environment. However, the most important thing now was to let Han Junzhan recover his spiritual energy. As for these somewhat strange environments, it wouldn’t be too late to explore them after he recovered his spiritual energy. Luo Lingxing sat attentively beside Han Junzhan, protecting him and waiting for him to recover his spiritual energy.
The surrounding Power of Faith continuously surged towards Han Junzhan’s body, tightly enveloping him. From a distance, he looked like a large, white-glowing cocoon.
Luo Lingxing had always known that Han Junzhan was very popular, but he never expected him to be this popular. When Han Junzhan mobilized his Power of Faith, he had an almost inexhaustible supply of Power of Faith to mobilize and absorb.
And so, one continued to cultivate and recover within the cocoon, while the other sat by his side protecting him, staying there all night long.
As dawn broke, Han Junzhan finally awoke from his meditation. At this moment, his spiritual energy had not only recovered but was even greater than before. Moreover, he could clearly feel that his spiritual energy had become more condensed, and when using the same spiritual technique, its power this time was definitely greater than before.
However, Han Junzhan was not happy about these things, because he noticed that Luo Lingxing had been sitting next to him watching him, as if he hadn’t slept all night, and he couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
“It’s late, why don’t you get some sleep?” Han Junzhan hurriedly pulled Luo Lingxing into his arms, scolding him with heartache.
“Are you fully recovered now?” Luo Lingxing asked.
Although there were few animals around and no large wild beasts were spotted yet, who knew what might happen at night? Under such circumstances, how could he possibly sleep?
Moreover, not sleeping for one night will not have much of an impact on a cultivator.
“Yes, I feel a little better than before,” Han Junzhan replied.
“Let’s go out and see what’s around us,” Luo Lingxing said. He had wanted to go and see yesterday, but because he was worried about Han Junzhan, he had stayed by his side the whole time.
Han Junzhan hurriedly pulled Luo Lingxing, who was trying to get up, and forcibly held him in his arms, saying in a way that left no room for refusal, “You should sleep for a while. It’s not dawn yet. Go out later.”
“I’m fine. I won’t be hurt even if I don’t sleep all night.”
Luo Lingxing originally wanted to answer like that, but seeing Han Junzhan’s expression of unyielding refusal and heartache, he said nothing. He obediently found a comfortable position in Han Junzhan’s arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.
This time it was Han Junzhan’s turn to watch over Luo Lingxing. Looking at the sleeping person in his arms, he never felt annoyed by seeing his face. On the contrary, he liked him more and more.
Han Junzhan stretched out his slender fingers and gently stroked Luo Lingxing’s fair cheek. The smooth touch made him reluctant to let go. If he wasn’t worried about disturbing Luo Lingxing’s sleep, he wouldn’t have wanted to “tear” his hand off.
After sleeping for about three hours, it was already bright outside. Luo Lingxing slowly woke up, looked around in a daze, and then remembered that they were in a cave.
Actually, Luo Lingxing only planned to take a short nap before getting up, but Han Junzhan’s embrace was so warm and comforting that he accidentally fell asleep.
“Are you hungry? Eat something.” Han Junzhan took out some breakfast items suitable for breakfast from his space button and handed them to Luo Lingxing.
After having breakfast, the two left the cave, intending to look around for anything useful.
They were now halfway up the mountain, and on a relatively flat slope, whereas good things usually grow on cliffs and steep slopes, so the two decided to continue climbing.
Mountains were generally home to resilient plants, and as the ancients said, “Those who live by the mountain live off the mountain.” This showed that the resources on the mountain were quite abundant.
It could even support an entire village near the mountain, which showed how rich the species are on the mountain. Moreover, it was a pristine mountain range that had never been developed or mined, so the species should be even richer.
“There are very few plant species here,” Han Junzhan said with a slight frown. Moreover, the plants were sparse and did not resemble a primeval mountain range at all. Instead, they looked like a mountain range that had been mined and even damaged by humans.
Luo Lingxing had already discovered this situation yesterday. Something was definitely amiss, so the two decided to go further up to investigate.
