If Liu Chengfeng could really be recruited by Xia Ruofei, his Qi Refining Level Seven cultivation alone would be much higher than Li Yifu's, not to mention other things.
Xia Ruofei's direct disciple Tang Haoran was still young and his cultivation was very low. Ling Qingxue and Song Wei's cultivation were only at the Qi Refining Stage 3. Even if they could break through to the Qi Refining Stage 4, there was still a big gap between them and Liu Chengfeng.
What's more, Liu Chengfeng was very familiar with the cultivation world and also had the identity of a disciple of the Fallen Leaves Sect. This would be very helpful for Xia Ruofei in the future.
If he could completely subdue Liu Chengfeng, it would be equivalent to planting a spy in the Fallen Leaves Sect. At a critical moment, he might be able to play an unexpected role.
Of course, the premise of all this was that he could completely subdue Liu Chengfeng. At present, there was no way to do so.
If Xia Ruofei was really a Nascent Soul cultivator, then it would be easy to deal with him. The problem was that his cultivation was only a little higher than Liu Chengfeng's. Liu Chengfeng already knew some of the secrets of the Ring-Tu space. Even if he didn't know that it was an independent small space, it was just an immortal's cave that was rich in Spiritual Qi. It was enough to shake the cultivation world. Therefore, Xia Ruofei couldn't risk sending Liu Chengfeng out at this time.
Of course, if Xia Ruofei was really a Nascent Soul cultivator, there would be no need to arrange any spies. He could destroy the Fallen Leaves Sect with a wave of his hand.
In short, Xia Ruofei didn't want to leave any hidden dangers. At the same time, he hoped to subdue Liu Chengfeng, so he didn't kill him on the spot. Instead, he put him in the Ring-Tu space.
But there was no way to do it now, so Xia Ruofei could only keep Liu Chengfeng in captivity.
In a flash, Xia Ruofei came to the large space cage that imprisoned the assassins and mercenaries.
He waved his hand and the two space cages disappeared.
Hundreds of people screamed as they fell from the sky.
Xia Ruofei easily used the invisible power of space to hold these people up just as they were about to fall to the ground.
Then, he casually displayed a method that looked like a miracle to these "foreigners" and easily dispelled their thoughts of resistance.
Even the unruly leader of the Maud mercenary corps, Douglas, was scared out of his wits by the methods displayed by Xia Ruofei, the "Eastern Immortal".
No matter how powerful the special forces were, could they fight against the "gods" who could fly in the sky and burrow into the ground?
Furthermore, after being locked up in the spatial cage for so many days, their willpower had long been worn down. In addition to Bao Guijun, Golden Fox Merendo, Viper Boak and the others' 'personal experiences', these assassins and mercenaries were quickly recruited.
On the other hand, Manzila, who was nicknamed Satan, did not play much of a role in the recruitment process.
This was because other than Boak, the other higher-ups of Maud didn't know his identity. Douglas only knew that his boss's nickname was Satan.
These assassins and mercenaries were also split up and assigned to various groups, and Bao Guijun and the others had many more people under them.
Xia Ruofei simply allowed them to add a leadership level and divided each group into three squads. He asked Bao Guijun and the other team leaders to choose three squad leaders to be in charge of one squad and assist them in managing it.
The squad leaders also enjoyed a certain amount of basic points bonus.
Bao Guijun and the others were naturally overjoyed. They had more soldiers under them, and they also had a certain amount of "human rights". Naturally, they could manage it more smoothly.
Apart from the lack of freedom, Bao Guijun, Qian Guiyou, and the others felt that this place was actually pretty good.
There was no harm without comparison.
Similarly, it was precisely because of the comparison that Bao Guijun and the others felt that they were at least better off than most of the captives, and their hearts immediately became much more balanced.
They even felt that it might not be a bad thing to be caught in Huaxia while carrying out a mission.
At the very least, they had a "head start" in terms of being free labor.
After quickly incorporating this group of captives, Xia Ruofei gave them an hour.
Dividing them into groups, registering them, arranging their dormitories, receiving labor tools and basic necessities, and so on, these tasks didn't need to be handled by Xia Ruofei. With Xia Qing in the Space, Bao Guijun and the others could carry out the specific tasks in an orderly manner.
Xia Ruofei left the Space and returned to the outside world. He rested for a while in his bedroom.
Before an hour had passed, or at most forty minutes, Xia Ruofei received a telepathic message from Xia Qing. This group of free laborers had been properly arranged.
With a thought, Xia Ruofei re-entered the Space.
Xia Ruofei stood in the void like a god descending from the heavens. His voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. "Today's labor is temporarily suspended. Everyone is to return to their rooms immediately. Until further notice, no one is to come out!"
In the Space, Xia Ruofei's words were unquestionable.
After the order was given, all the laborers were led by their newly appointed captains. They orderly withdrew from the paddy fields, herb gardens, and other places and returned to the temporary housing.
They didn't know what was going on and couldn't help but feel apprehensive. This was especially true for the laborers who had been living in the Space for a while. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
Xia Ruofei didn't explain too much. He directly reinforced the Space Cage that enveloped the temporary housing several times. Moreover, he shielded the Space Cage. The membrane of the Space Cage changed from transparent to milky white, completely isolating the inside from the outside world.
Following that, Xia Ruofei moved the Space Cage that imprisoned Liu Chengfeng to the side of the temporary housing. He also reinforced the Space Cage to a certain extent.
Xia Ruofei naturally did this in order to prepare the Ring-Tu space to absorb the World Stone.
This time, the World Stone was the size of a washbasin. After the Spirit Map Scroll completely absorbed it, there was a chance it could evolve again.
In order to prevent chaos during the space's upgrade process, Xia Ruofei recalled everyone to the prefab room in advance and specially reinforced the space cage.
Then Xia Ruofei called out Xia Qing and the Realm Raccoon Bai Qingqing. He told them that the Ring-Tu space would absorb the World Stone again and that it might cause the space to evolve. He told them to be quiet and pay close attention during this process.
He especially warned Bai Qingqing that she couldn't cause any trouble during this process, or else he wouldn't be polite to her.
Xia Ruofei also ordered Xia Qing to keep an eye on Bai Qingqing.
In the Ring-Tu space, Xia Qing had the highest authority aside from Xia Ruofei. He could also mobilize the invisible force of the space. If Bai Qingqing really caused trouble, Xia Qing could still subdue her.
Bai Qingqing protested a bit in dissatisfaction.
The main reason was because Xia Ruofei didn't give her any of the harvest this time.
Of course, this was also because Bai Qingqing didn't play any role in obtaining the World Stone. In addition, the World Stone he had obtained this time was one big piece. If it was cut into small pieces like before, then Xia Ruofei wouldn't mind giving Bai Qingqing a few pieces as long as he could ensure the space could be upgraded.
Bai Qingqing's protest was naturally ineffective.
After giving all the orders, Xia Ruofei left the space in a flash.
After returning to his bedroom in the courtyard house, Xia Ruofei used his mind to establish a connection with the Spirit Map Scroll. At the same time, he removed the protective shield around the Primordial Realm's gigantic World Stone and gave the Spirit Map's space an order to absorb the World Stone.
Xia Ruofei could feel that the entire space of the Spirit Map seemed to have a mind of its own. It was transmitting a joyous mood. Then, a suction force suddenly appeared, and the huge World Stone suddenly floated in the air.
The mysterious spatial energy inside the World Stone was quickly absorbed by the Spirit Map Scroll.
Xia Ruofei nervously watched the entire process and secretly prayed in his heart that the Ring-Tu space would be able to successfully upgrade.
Obtaining World Stones was something that could only be encountered by chance. If the space couldn't upgrade after absorbing all the World Stones, then who knew when the next World Stone would be.
And now that the Ring-Tu space had evolved to this extent, if it only relied on absorbing jade to replenish itself, then the demand would be enormous. Even though Xia Ruofei had plenty of money, there was a limit to the amount of jade on Earth. Just because you had money didn't mean you could buy enough jade.
What's more, buying jade on such a large scale without engaging in any jade business would definitely attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.
Therefore, after experiencing several upgrades, Xia Ruofei basically gave up on the idea of using jade to "feed" the Ring-Tu space.
That World Stone was very big. The Ring-Tu space absorbed it for a long time before its color faded slightly. At the same time, one or two fine cracks would occasionally appear on its surface.
Xia Ruofei had already experienced this process many times, so he knew very well that the mysterious energy contained in the World Stone was far from being completely absorbed.
He couldn't help but be filled with anticipation. The more "firm" the World Stone was, the higher the possibility of the Ring-Tu space upgrading after absorbing it.
The absorption process was rather long, but Xia Ruofei wasn't impatient at all. He even hoped that the process would take as long as possible.
After more than two hours, the washbasin-sized World Stone's color became fainter and fainter. There were more and more cracks, almost covering the entire surface of the World Stone.
Xia Ruofei knew that the energy contained in the World Stone was more or less depleted.
However, the Ring-Tu space still didn't show any signs of upgrading. Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
At this moment, the World Stone's surface was already grayish-white. Moreover, it would occasionally emit faint cracking sounds, accompanied by small pieces of stone being peeled off. It was obvious that its energy was about to be depleted.
Xia Ruofei anxiously sat on the bed in his bedroom. His mind maintained a connection with the space, sensing the situation in the space at all times.
His disappointment gradually grew.
Seeing that the World Stone was beginning to fall apart, Xia Ruofei secretly sighed. It seemed that his wish of upgrading the space this time might not be possible.
However, just as the World Stone completely fell apart into small pieces, the Ring-Tu space absorbed the last strand of energy from the World Stone. Immediately after, the entire space trembled slightly. Even Xia Ruofei's mind was shaken.
Xia Ruofei's mood was like a roller coaster. All his disappointment was swept away, and his face revealed a look of joy. He was all too familiar with this feeling. Every time the Ring-Tu space upgraded, he would experience a similar tremor. However, this time, the tremor seemed to be even more intense.
Xia Ruofei immediately felt that the entire Ring-Tu space seemed to be trembling slightly. Immediately, his mental connection with the Ring-Tu space was affected. Although it wasn't completely cut off, it was faintly discernible. He couldn't sense the situation in the space so clearly.
Xia Ruofei simply withdrew his thoughts and sat in his bedroom to wait.
While waiting, time always passed very slowly.
Xia Ruofei was both anxious and expectant. After a while, he couldn't help but use his mind to establish a connection with the Ring-Tu space. However, the upgrade process this time seemed to be especially long. After a full two hours, Xia Ruofei's mental connection with the space was still faintly discernible. This meant that the space was still in the process of upgrading.
Later, Wu Qiang went outside to call Xia Ruofei for dinner. However, the Spiritual Map Scroll couldn't be stored in the body during the upgrade process. Xia Ruofei naturally didn't feel at ease leaving the Spiritual Map Scroll in his bedroom. Therefore, he told Wu Qiang that he wasn't hungry and wouldn't eat dinner.
In fact, Xia Ruofei wasn't in the mood to eat either. All his thoughts were on the Ring-Tu space.
Xia Ruofei waited until around ten o'clock at night before he reestablished his mental connection with the Ring-Tu space.
This meant that the Spiritual Map Scroll had completed the upgrade process.
Calculating the time, this upgrade took six to seven hours. It was several times longer than the previous upgrade.
This caused Xia Ruofei to have even more expectations in his heart.
When he reestablished his mental connection with the Ring-Tu space, the first thing he felt was that the connection was much clearer than before.
It was as if a normal screen had suddenly been replaced with a 4K HD screen.
Before entering the space, Xia Ruofei first noticed a very obvious change.
Perhaps it was because the mental connection was closer, or perhaps it was because the Spiritual Map Scroll had changed after upgrading, but Xia Ruofei discovered that he seemed to be able to control the appearance of the Spiritual Map Scroll.
Naturally, no one would tell Xia Ruofei this, but he had this feeling.
Xia Ruofei immediately gave it a try.
Sure enough, with just a thought, the Spirit Map Scroll actually began to shrink in front of his eyes. In the blink of an eye, it went from a normal-sized ancient scroll to a pocket-sized scroll that was only a few centimeters long and could be held directly in the palm of his hand.
It had to be known that ever since Xia Ruofei obtained the Spiritual Map Scroll, the scroll had always had this simple appearance. Even if he was able to store the scroll in his body, he couldn't change the appearance of the scroll. Every time he took it out of his palm, the scroll would still look the same.
This change greatly increased Xia Ruofei's interest. He wasn't satisfied with just changing the size, so he began to try changing the Spiritual Map Scroll into other things.
