The lifeboat was already nearing the wooden raft.
Puyol and the other three had already recovered from the shock of Xia Ruofei's sudden disappearance. They waved excitedly at the people on the lifeboat.
Xia Ruofei was very satisfied with their performance.
Puyol looked very rough, but he was able to lead the entire survivor camp not only because he was strong, but also because he was a very smart person. As for the other three survivors, they would probably pretend that Xia Ruofei had never appeared in order to avoid more trouble.
Of course, even if they let it slip, they would still be in trouble. Xia Ruofei did not leave any traces behind, so there was no need to worry.
Xia Ruofei used his power of the will to detect that the lifeboat was approaching.
The lifeboat was smaller than the raft. The crew on the boat threw a rope onto the raft as it approached.
Puyol and the others quickly took the rope and tied the raft and the lifeboat together.
The crew asked a few simple questions. In fact, Puyol and the others had not had a proper haircut for many years, and their beards had not been shaved for a long time. Their clothes were ragged like savages, and there were no ships around at all. The possibility of them being pirates was very low.
After the routine questioning, the crew took Puyol and the others to the lifeboat.
Puyol let David and the other two get on the boat first. He went over to pick up little John and handed him to David on the lifeboat.
Apart from a tattered canvas bag that contained a few souvenirs, they did not take anything else from the raft. If they could return to civilized society, these things would basically be trash. No one would want them even if they were left on the side of the road.
The crew was slightly surprised to see a baby on the raft, but they did not ask. They just let Puyol untie the rope and throw it back to the lifeboat. Then, they reached out and pulled Puyol onto the boat. The lifeboat began to return to the large cruise ship.
As for the raft, it was naturally abandoned at sea.
Xia Ruofei's Spiritual Map Scroll was clipped to the bottom of the raft. He sensed that the lifeboat was getting farther and farther away until it left the range of his power of the will. Then, with a thought, he returned to the outside world from the space.
Xia Ruofei clung to the bottom of the raft with one hand and put the Spiritual Map Scroll into his body. Then, relying on his memory, he went to the other side of the raft. Using the supplies on the deck and the tent as cover, he threw the Spiritual Map Scroll into the tent.
Then, with a thought, he entered the space again and immediately came out again.
This way, he arrived at the tent without anyone noticing.
With the tent as cover, Xia Ruofei could easily observe the situation on the cruise ship in the distance through a small transparent window.
The lifeboat arrived below the cruise ship and was quickly hoisted up.
Puyol and the others were also taken to the cruise ship.
Xia Ruofei was finally relieved. As long as they were not so unlucky that the cruise ship encountered a shipwreck during the voyage, it was basically certain that they were rescued and could successfully return to civilization and reunite with their families.
As for how they would explain that they encountered a shipwreck in the Atlantic Ocean and then appeared in the Indian Ocean a few years later, this was not something Xia Ruofei could care about.
After all, in the long history of navigation and aviation, similar situations had happened before. Just the mysterious Bermuda Sea alone, who knew how many ships and planes had gone missing.
In history, there was once a plane that flew into a storm and disappeared. Everyone concluded that the plane had crashed and no one survived. However, many years later, the plane landed, and the people on the plane only felt that a few moments had passed.
There was also a rumor that a group of soldiers walked into a thick fog and disappeared without a trace. They also reappeared many years later. In their perception, they had only traveled for a short while in the thick fog.
Whether it was time travel or space travel, experts would always find various explanations, such as wormholes and the like.
In short, Xia Ruofei did not need to worry about what Puyol and the others were going to face next.
The cruise ship quickly weighed anchor and gradually disappeared from Xia Ruofei's sight with the sound of the steam whistle.
Xia Ruofei breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally resolved one thing.
He had always felt guilty for these survivors. After all, if he had not opened the enchantment formation, so many innocent survivors would not have died in the snake's stomach. This time, he could help Puyol and a few lucky people return to civilization, which could be considered as compensation.
Xia Ruofei was lying on the raft drifting with the waves. Under him was a soft sleeping bag. The tent was filled with the unique fragrance of a baby.
After resting for a while, he sat up and took out the Golden Elixir from the dimension.
After Puyol and the others left, on this vast sea, no one would disturb Xia Ruofei. He decided to absorb the Golden Elixir first.
As for why he chose to do it on this simple raft instead of the comfortable yacht, the reason was very simple. Xia Ruofei had put the yacht into the dimension in a critical moment last time. He felt that his mental power was a little weak, and he felt like his head was about to split open. He still had some lingering fear when he thought about it. He really did not want to experience it again.
Although he had to take the Azmu yacht to the outside world, or else there would be no way to return to land, he would drag it out as long as he could. After all, he was not in a hurry right now.
According to Xia Qing, he should be able to directly absorb the pure energy in the Golden Elixir.
Xia Ruofei adjusted his state and sat cross-legged in the tent on the raft. He held the Golden Elixir with both hands and silently operated the Dao Formula.
As soon as the Dao Formula began to operate, Xia Ruofei immediately felt a huge amount of energy pouring directly into his meridians.
If an ordinary cultivator cultivated between midnight and dawn, absorbing the barren Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth would be like an intermittent stream, then cultivating with spirit crystals would be like a wide river. If one used crystals, it would be like a surging river.
However, whether it was using spirit crystals or crystals, it paled in comparison to absorbing the Golden Elixir.
Absorbing the energy of the Gold Elixir gave Xia Ruofei the feeling that the energy was endless like the waves of the sea. It was also like a great river during a flood. There was no need for him to deliberately absorb it as it directly flowed into his body.
In terms of cultivation, Xia Ruofei had a very solid foundation. His meridians were also very wide and tough. However, when he absorbed the energy of the Golden Elixir this time, he faintly felt that his meridians were a little swollen, and even faintly painful.
This was obviously because the energy had reached the limit that his meridians could bear.
Xia Ruofei's heart shuddered, and he quickly slowed down the pace of absorption.
Even so, this cultivation speed was many times faster than when he usually used spirit crystals to cultivate.
Usually, after one circulation, the True Qi in his dantian would increase a little. Unless he deliberately probed, the total amount of True Qi would actually change very little.
But today was completely different.
Just one circulation according to the Dao Formula, Xia Ruofei clearly felt that his True Qi had increased by nearly 10%.
Xia Ruofei was shocked by the efficiency of the absorption.
This meant that there was basically no energy loss, and the amount of energy absorbed was the same as the amount of True Qi. It was a bit incredible.
Although the Spirit Qi in spirit crystals was very pure, there would always be some loss during cultivation, and a large amount of Spirit Qi could be transformed into a trace of True Qi.
The energy of the Golden Elixir was actually Spirit Qi, and it was even a level higher than True Qi. Therefore, after absorbing it, basically all of it could be transformed into True Qi.
In this way, how could the cultivation efficiency not be high?
Xia Ruofei had only cultivated for a short while, and he felt that the True Qi in his dantian had almost reached a state of saturation.
This meant that his cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Xia Ruofei did not stop, but continued to circulate the Dao Formula.
His dantian continued to produce True Qi, and because it had reached saturation, the True Qi in his dantian began to compress.
Without much effort, Xia Ruofei felt the Genuine Qi in his Dantian suddenly shrink inwards. His Dantian, which was already saturated, became empty again.
Although the amount of True Qi after compression seemed to have decreased, the energy contained in each strand of True Qi was several times more than before.
He felt refreshed, and his whole body felt like it was floating.
In just a short while, his cultivation had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
And he almost didn't feel the bottleneck, and the process of breaking through was smooth, without any obstacles at all. He naturally reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Xia Ruofei opened his eyes and looked at the Golden Elixir in his hand. It was only a circle less, and at most one-tenth of it had been consumed.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel a burst of joy. The energy of this Golden Elixir was really pure, and the cultivation effect was much better than he expected!
He even thought that if he had eight or ten Golden Elixirs in his hand, let alone breaking through to the Golden Elixir stage, even the Nascent Soul stage would not be a problem!
However, this was just a thought in his heart. Xia Ruofei also knew that this was not realistic at all.
On the one hand, the cultivation environment today was so bad. According to Daoist Bi Youzi, the masters above the Nascent Soul stage had even left the earth to look for opportunities, leaving behind only low-level cultivators. In such an environment, how many Golden Elixir stage cultivators could there be? How could there be so many Golden Elixirs waiting for Xia Ruofei to hunt?
On the other hand, even if there were so many Golden Elixir stage cultivators, would they be like this Purple Blood Spiritual Python, stupidly swallowing Xia Ruofei into its stomach, and then have its stomach cut open by Xia Ruofei? Under normal circumstances, Xia Ruofei was no match for the Golden Elixir stage cultivators. At that time, it would not be him hunting others' Golden Elixirs, but others who would rob him of his treasures.
In addition, Xia Ruofei was also very clear that cultivation was definitely not something that could be done in haste. Absorbing a Golden Elixir was nothing, but relying on absorbing Golden Elixirs to cultivate, the foundation was certainly not solid. Even if his cultivation was improved, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Xia Ruofei only slightly opened his eyes, and then immediately entered the state of cultivation. He slowly absorbed the energy of the Golden Elixir while consolidating his cultivation.
The wooden raft was still bobbing up and down with the waves, and time passed by minute by minute.
When Xia Ruofei began to cultivate, the sun had just risen from the surface of the sea. As the sun slowly moved to the middle of the sky, it slowly sank below the surface of the sea in the west. When night fell, Xia Ruofei still sat motionless in the tent.
The Golden Elixir in his hand had shrunk to the size of a tennis ball.
At this time, Xia Ruofei's body faintly emitted a fierce aura. For the entire day, Xia Ruofei had been absorbing the energy of the Golden Elixir to cultivate.
His cultivation had just advanced from the sixth layer to the seventh layer of Qi Refining, and in the afternoon, he broke through again. Again, he did not encounter any bottlenecks, and directly entered the eighth layer of Qi Refining.
He was probably the cultivator who stayed in the seventh layer of Qi Refining for the shortest time, not even a day's time.
After breaking through to the eighth layer of Qi Refining, the energy of the Golden Elixir was still not exhausted.
Therefore, after Xia Ruofei consolidated his cultivation, he continued to absorb the energy in one go.
Now, he could basically confirm one thing, and that was that this Purple Blood Spiritual Python had absorbed the moonlight for more than a thousand years to cultivate. Although its cultivation was still in the Golden Elixir stage, it was definitely at the peak of the Golden Elixir stage.
Because if it had just entered the Golden Elixir stage, it would only be one level higher than the ninth layer of Qi Refining. Although there was a difference of one level, it was impossible for the Golden Elixir to contain so much energy.
While cultivating, Xia Ruofei did not feel the passage of time at all.
When he had absorbed all the energy of the Golden Elixir, he discovered that the sky was already filled with stars.
He turned his hand, and took out his phone from the Space Mountain Sea Mirror to look at the time, and found that it was already eight o 'clock in the evening.
At the same time, Xia Ruofei also felt his cultivation.
The eighth layer of Qi Refining, and his dantian was basically full, in other words, he was not far from breaking through to the ninth layer of Qi Refining.
If the energy contained in the Golden Elixir increased by 10%, Xia Ruofei felt that he could certainly reach the ninth layer of Qi Refining in one go.
However, people should not be so greedy. Being able to directly cultivate from the sixth layer of Qi Refining to the peak of the eighth layer of Qi Refining in one day was already a great opportunity. It was absolutely something that could only be encountered and not sought.
After not eating or drinking for a day, Xia Ruofei was still very excited.
The feeling of absorbing energy like a whale, and the feeling of his cultivation rising at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye was really wonderful.
As long as his cultivation improved by one more step, he would reach the ninth layer of Qi Refining.
This was also the last level of Qi Refining.
Once he reached the ninth layer of Qi Refining, he was not far from condensing the Golden Elixir.
Xia Ruofei still remembered Bi Youzi's words. If he wanted to completely refine the wooden tablet, he must reach the Nascent Soul stage.
He had not even condensed the Golden Elixir, so how could he talk about the Nascent Soul stage?
Therefore, Xia Ruofei suddenly felt that there was still a long way to go.
However, he had already cultivated for a day, so he was not in a hurry to continue using spirit crystals or yuan crystals to cultivate. Instead, with a thought, he took out the Spiritual Map Scroll.
There were still 25 World Stones stored in the space! It was time to let the Spiritual Map Scroll absorb them all!
