The building that was originally used as the project department building had now been turned into a comprehensive building by Xia Ruofei. Other than a portion of the floors being renovated into guest rooms of different grades, the other floors would be used as the operation center of the entire Peach Blossom Island in the future. All the relevant staff would work there.
However, due to the location of Peach Blossom Island, the ordinary staff of the secular world were as few as possible. This building was more than enough. The staff's dormitory could even be arranged in the guest rooms upstairs.
As for the name of the building, because the headquarters of the domestic company was called the Peach Blossom Building, Xia Ruofei did not prepare a name for it in order to give it a different treatment. He thought about it during his free time and decided to use a simple and impressive name — Flaming Yellow Building.
All the people of Huaxia were descendants of the Yellow Emperor. On this isolated island thousands of miles away from home, naming it Flaming Yellow Building could be considered a little homesickness.
At this moment, in the Flaming Yellow Building, Li Yifu, Song Wei, Ling Qingxue, and Zheng Yongshou, who had been taken in by Xia Ruofei as a soul slave, were not sleepy at all. Everyone was paying attention to the situation on the west side of the island.
While Xia Ruofei was absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy to build the Essence Energy vortex, the spiritual energy on Peach Blossom Island was also being consumed at an extremely fast rate. This was especially so in the Ring-Tu space, where the flow of time in the outside world was thirty times faster than in the outside world. Therefore, the spiritual energy consumed in the outside world in a minute was equivalent to the amount replenished in half an hour in the space.
As a result, the spiritual energy density within the array formation of Peach Blossom Island dropped at an extremely exaggerated rate. In just a minute or two, it was less than half of its original level.
It had to be known that the Great Void Mystic Clear Formation covered a very large area. Not only did it include the entire Peach Blossom Island, but it also included a portion of the sea outside the island. Although the spiritual energy density within such a large area was different from the distance of the array formation's core, overall, it was many times denser than outside the array formation. It could be said to be a paradise on earth. The total amount of spiritual energy that took such a long time to condense in such a large area was also an astonishing number.
In just a minute or two, more than half of such a huge amount of spiritual energy had been consumed. This completely exceeded the understanding of Li Yifu and the others. If Li Yifu and the others were to cultivate, they would not be able to absorb such a large amount of spiritual energy even in a year and a half.
Within the range of the grand formation, the drifting spiritual energy from the outside world would be absorbed at any time, purified and condensed, and constantly replenished. Therefore, in theory, even if there were over a hundred cultivators at the level of Li Yifu and Song Wei cultivating on the island at the same time, the grand formation would be able to maintain a dynamic balance of the total amount of spiritual energy.
........................
Fortunately, due to the difference in the flow of time, this whale-like absorption did not last for long. After a few minutes, when the spiritual energy density in the outside world had dropped to a level not much higher than the spiritual energy density outside the array formation, this terrifying absorption came to an abrupt end.
Of course, Xia Ruofei had not actually stopped cultivating at this time. It was just that he had completed the construction of the energy vortex and was only circulating his cultivation method to fill his dantian, so his cultivation speed had slowed down. The Ring-Tu space could also absorb energy from the chaotic space outside the membrane to maintain a steady increase in the amount of spiritual energy. Naturally, the lower-priority option was to stop absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world.
Li Yifu and the others breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were filled with anticipation. They believed that Xia Ruofei's seclusion should have ended. This' seclusion 'might have only lasted ten to twenty minutes, and this included the time Xia Ruofei spent setting up the array formation in the outside world. In reality, the time he spent in the Primordial Realm was less than ten to twenty minutes in the outside world.
Li Yifu and the others did not know about the existence of the Ring-Tu space. Unlike Li Yifu, Song Wei and Ling Qingxue knew that Xia Ruofei had array flags that could change the flow of time. Therefore, the two of them were not as surprised as Li Yifu about this whale-like absorption of spiritual energy. They also believed that Xia Ruofei had finished his seclusion, but they believed that Xia Ruofei had used a time array flag.
However, after waiting for a few more minutes, Li Yifu and the others finally sensed a familiar aura flying over from the west side of the island.
Everyone revealed a hint of joy. Then, they came out of their rooms at the same time, took the elevator downstairs, and gathered at the door to wait.
Sure enough, Xia Ruofei's figure soon appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone only felt their vision blur. Xia Ruofei, who was just a blurry figure a few hundred meters away, was already standing in front of everyone with a smile on his face.
This speed had already exceeded everyone's imagination.
Furthermore, Xia Ruofei did not deliberately conceal his cultivation. Li Yifu and the others were all cultivators. Zheng Yongshou, who had the highest cultivation, had even reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement. Therefore, they immediately felt a powerful aura oppressing them. At that moment, they even felt a little breathless.
Li Yifu and the others immediately came back to their senses, and everyone revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
Li Yifu was the first to say in a trembling voice, "Martial Granduncle! This disciple boldly asks … You … Have you broken through? "
Although Song Wei, Ling Qingxue, and Zheng Yongshou did not speak, their eyes were also full of expectation. The four of them eagerly looked at Xia Ruofei.
There was no doubt that Xia Ruofei was the backbone of everyone, and also the core competitiveness of the entire team. Xia Ruofei's cultivation being able to break through the Great Meridian Street was naturally a good thing for everyone to celebrate.
What's more, there was also Zheng Yongshou, who was absolutely loyal to Xia Ruofei.
With a gentle smile on his face, Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and said, "My luck is pretty good! I've already broken through to the early stage of the Gold Core Realm. When I was consolidating my cultivation just now, I absorbed a lot of Spirit Qi. I didn't scare everyone, did I? "
As soon as Xia Ruofei returned to the outside world, he had already felt that the concentration of Spirit Qi on Peach Blossom Island had dropped greatly. After thinking for a while, he had already guessed the reason.
In fact, this was also good. If he had only absorbed the Spirit Qi in the Ring-Tu space, there would have been no fluctuations in the Spirit Qi in the outside world, and he had already broken through to the early stage of the Gold Core Realm. Obviously, it was a bit too strange.
Now that the concentration of Spirit Qi in the outside world had dropped so much, it meant that there had been a lot of movements on the island when he had just broken through. Everything was more reasonable.
Although these people in front of him were absolutely trustworthy, the Ring-Tu space was always Xia Ruofei's core secret. If it was not necessary, he would never reveal it to anyone else.
Li Yifu said, "We have already guessed that Martial Granduncle is breaking through to the next realm, so the more Spirit Qi is absorbed, the more excited we are. This means that Martial Granduncle's strength will definitely be greatly improved after this breakthrough!"
Zheng Yongshou, who was standing to one side, also said with joy, "Mr. Xia! I remember that after my master converted all his Genuine Qi into Primordial Qi, he had been in seclusion for more than a year before he finally broke through to the early stage of the Gold Core Realm. I didn't expect you to complete it in just ten minutes. This is simply a miracle! "
Xia Ruofei was slightly stunned and asked, "Can the construction of the Primordial Qi vortex be done slowly?"
"Primordial Qi vortex?" Zheng Yongshou was a little puzzled when he heard this.
Only then did Xia Ruofei realize that for cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage like them, they probably didn't know much about the Gold Core Realm, nor did they know what the Primordial Qi vortex was, so he explained, "It's a breakthrough to the early stage of the Gold Core Realm. Can the breakthrough process be dragged out for more than a year? Shouldn't it be completed in one spurt of energy? "
Zheng Yongshou obviously only knew that Luo Qingfeng had been in seclusion for more than a year and had broken through to the early stage of the Gold Core Realm. He didn't know the details of the process, and he knew even less about the matter of cultivators building the Primordial Qi vortex, so he was also confused. With a confused expression, he said, "Mr. Xia, I'm not too sure about this … Before my master went into seclusion, he once said that he had successfully converted all the Genuine Qi in his body into Primordial Qi. This time, he was in seclusion and would only come out when he broke through to the early stage of the Gold Core Realm. Later, he spent more than a year in seclusion this time … "
Xia Ruofei nodded. It seemed that Zheng Yongshou didn't know much, and he also faintly felt that other cultivators wouldn't be able to build the Primordial Qi vortex like him. Otherwise, with the current cultivation environment on Earth, no one would be able to build it successfully. However, what he also didn't understand was that before the completion of the Primordial Qi vortex, the extremely serious sense of hunger in the Dantian and the feeling of absorbing any strand of free Primordial Qi in the body all the time should be very difficult for cultivators to bear, right? Even if they could bear it, wouldn't they be sucked dry after a long time?
Anyway, the second layer of the Tao Skill didn't say that the construction of the Primordial Qi vortex could be carried out step by step, so Xia Ruofei felt that his method should be more reliable, but it might not be suitable for the current cultivation environment on Earth.
Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment, and then said to Zheng Yongshou, "Yongshou, contact your master. If he doesn't have a lot of things on hand, ask him to come here. I have something to ask him."
It was naturally better to ask Luo Qingfeng directly about the Gold Core stage. Moreover, before Luo Qingfeng left last time, he said that there would be a cultivation auction in the near future, and it was rumored that there might be a storage ring. Xia Ruofei calculated that the time should be relatively close, so he simply decided to summon Luo Qingfeng.
"Okay, I'll contact my master right away!" Zheng Yongshou said respectfully.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, and then turned his gaze to Song Wei and Ling Qingxue.
The two of them were naturally very happy that Xia Ruofei could break through to the early stage of the Gold Core stage. However, compared to the breakthrough of cultivation, they were more happy that Xia Ruofei safely passed through the difficulties of breaking through to the next realm. If any accident happened during this breakthrough, they couldn't believe how they could bear it.
In fact, whether it was Song Wei or Ling Qingxue, they would rather Xia Ruofei be mediocre than have him be in any danger.
However, both of them knew that Xia Ruofei was destined not to be mediocre, and they absolutely couldn't drag Xia Ruofei down, so all their worries could only be hidden in their hearts.
When Xia Ruofei looked over, both of them showed a sweet smile and said in unison, "Congratulations on the breakthrough!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "It's just a matter of time. As long as you keep on cultivating, you're not far from the Gold Core stage. Yifu and Yongshou, stay on Peach Blossom Island and cultivate well. In the future, you will know that the Gold Core stage is nothing at all … "
Li Yifu and Zheng Yongshou both showed an excited expression and nodded heavily.
Xia Ruofei then said, "Don't just stand here. Let's go in and talk … Yifu, find a bigger room and prepare some food and wine. Today, we're going to celebrate!"
"Martial Uncle, I've already prepared everything!" Li Yifu said with a smile. "It's in the reception room on the third floor. It's spacious there!"
"Is that so? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! "Xia Ruofei said with a laugh.
The reception room on the third floor of the Yanhuang Building was originally designed to be a formal meeting place for some important visitors. The space was very spacious, but the main furnishings were a circle of very comfortable leather sofas.
Li Yifu knew that Xia Ruofei was going to return to Peach Blossom Island, so he and Zheng Yongshou had arranged a long table in the middle of the reception room in advance. They had also personally prepared a lot of food and wine. Now, there were no other staff on Peach Blossom Island, so everything had to be done by themselves.
However, as soon as Xia Ruofei got off the plane, he went straight to the core of the formation for closed-door cultivation, so this small welcome banquet was not used. Now, it could be changed to a celebration banquet.
Xia Ruofei and the others went to the reception room on the third floor together. Although Zheng Yongshou's cultivation was much higher than Li Yifu's, he knew that his status was definitely not as good as Li Yifu's, so he consciously took on the role of a waiter.
Soon, he served the cold dishes that had been prepared and was busy pouring wine for everyone. Just as he was about to heat up the dishes, Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Yongshou, don't be busy. Come and have a drink with us …"
When Zheng Yongshou heard this, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears. He quickly said, "Thank you, Mas … Mr. Xia!"
Because Song Wei and Ling Qingxue were present, Zheng Yongshou had to call Xia Ruofei "Mr. Xia". He was so excited that he almost blurted it out.
Xia Ruofei did not blame him. He just smiled gently and said, "Pour the wine yourself!"
"Yes!" Zheng Yongshou quickly poured wine into his own glass.
Xia Ruofei raised his glass and said, "Today, I finally broke through to the Gold Core stage. This is a day worth celebrating. Let's toast! In addition, everything on Peach Blossom Island will gradually get on the right track. Many ordinary people will come to the island to take on some basic work, including our own guards. So there are still a lot of things to do. I'll have to trouble you two, Yifu and Yongshou. "
"Master's Uncle, you're too kind. This is what we should do."
"Mr. Xia, it's my honor to serve you!"
Li Yifu and Zheng Yongshou said hurriedly.
