I am not sure if it really happened due to the immense pain I was feeling, but it felt like my dantian grew bigger every time he transferred qi into my body. While I did end up with an enormous dantian after entering the realm of core formation, I could not tell if it was because of Meng Xui Feng transferring qi to me or if it was due to my exceptional cultivation technique.

That day, after my breakthrough, I asked the system for my stats.

...

(Status!)

[Beep!]

[Name: Shang Shi | Age: 19 | Body: 36 | Mind: 1]

[Vitality: 35 | Strength: 33 | Agility 38 | Intelligence 35 | Dexterity: 37]

"These are my stats?" I mutter in surprise.

(Why is it so low?!) I ask the system in an angry tone.

(Show me my stats when I was in the realm of Meridian forming!) I demanded.

[Beep!]

[These are your stats when you had just entered the realm of Meridian Forming]

[Name: Shang Shi | Age: 17 | Body: 19 | Mind: 0]

[Vitality: 20 | Strength: 22 | Agility 21 | Intelligence 22 | Dexterity: 20]

(System, why are the increments of stats so low?) I ask curiously.

[Beep!]

[Host, no matter how much you refine, improve or practice, your body will forever be only made of flesh and blood. While a mortal will never reach the limits of the human body, a cultivator will eventually be hindered by the shackles of his mortal body as he inches closer towards immortality. The only way to escape the mortal body is to become a god and shed your mortal body.]

(What if I learn those body tampering methods? Will I be able to escape the shackles of a mortal body with the help of these techniques?)

[Beep!]

[Body tempering methods will allow you to get a stronger body as they are turning your flesh into something else with the help of qi. However, these bodies are still inferior to the body of a god and the time and resources spent on obtaining such a body will be wasted upon becoming a god.]

(Wait, My mind! My mind is finally one! Is it because I seem to have a 7th sense of everything around me right now?)

[Ding!]

[The host is correct. Mind is the range of your spiritual sense and the size of your domain.]

(Spiritual sense? Is it telekinesis or can I just somehow see everything that is around now in its range? Also what is a domain?)

[Beep!]

[Host, the system will not answer your questions about cultivation. Please ask the old man at your side instead.]

Chapter 102 – Leaving the Tunnel

I have spent over a year in the tunnel and we have finally completely mined out the entire spirit stone mine. It was only possible to mine out the entire mine because everyone spent the entire day mining stones.

Not only did their cultivation increase quickly due to the massive amount of spirit stones we had, but Meng Xui Feng also implemented several new rules to motivate them further. He said that everyone was only required to hand in fifty spirit stones a day, and the rest of the spirit stones that they mined out would be theirs to use for cultivation.

Meng Xui Feng also used the method which I had set up to organise group tournaments, creating an atmosphere of friendly competition. The prize was something that these people had never eaten before, which is the meat of spirit beasts and everyone trained hard to win.
