3152 How Wonderful
“It’s on the smaller side.” Feng Wu walked next to Elder Wu as if she was patrolling her own territory.
Elder Wu told Feng Wu, “It’s big enough. The first one is only 100 meters long. The Military Academy has been using this one for many years, but there are still 100 meters left.”
Feng Wu studied the unexploited section and realized there was only a thin layer of essence crystals. There wasn’t much left.
She put a hand on her stomach, her face turning pale.
Elder Wu asked in concern, “What’s wrong?”
Just then, they heard familiar footsteps outside. It was Elder Helian.
Seeing Feng Wu, Elder Helian went up to her in a hurry. “Kiddo, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Feng Wu smiled bitterly. “I’m starving.”
Elder Helian said, “That sounds so serious! What happened? Why are you suddenly unwell?”
Being a Semi-Divine medicine refiner, Feng Wu knew herself better than anyone else.
She couldn’t figure it out at first, but after analyzing herself for the past two days, she finally knew what was going on.
She said, “Ultimately, it’s because I made too many breakthroughs in such a short time. When I passed out from starvation, some of my hidden symptoms flared up.”
She rubbed her forehead. “I made too much progress in the past year.
“I started off as a Spiritual Master a year ago, and I’m a Level 5 Spiritual King now.
“My level has been rising, but I’ve been stretching out my spiritual essence.
“It’s like when a person grows too fast until their nutrition can’t keep up with that speed. In the end, something serious is bound to happen.
“My hunger for spiritual essence now is in response to my past deficiency.
“I simply need too much spiritual essence. It seems I’ll never be able to eat enough.”
Feng Wu raised her head to find everybody staring at her in astonishment, including Elder Helian, Elder Wu, and Yang Zhihu.
Even the elders who had been cultivating in the mine had stopped what they were doing, and were looking at her silently.
No one spoke, and the mine became dead silent.
She wasn’t showing off, which was even worse.
Feng Wu asked, “Are you alright?”
Elder Helian wanted to leave.
Was she even human?
How could she do all that?
These elders were already outstanding cultivators, but Feng Wu’s words were still such a hard blow to them, let alone other people.
Feng Wu said, “Hm…”
She wondered if she had said something wrong.
She said, “I’m so hungry…”
Elder Helian sighed. “Go ahead. You won this mine; you can have as much as you want.”
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
Elder Helian said, “That’s right. How many essence crystals can you use, anyway?”
He knew the monthly consumption of Spiritual Overlords. Feng Wu was only a Spiritual King, so how much could she need?
Elder Helian wasn’t worried at all.
“She can’t use more than a thousand,” thought Elder Helian.
But…
Crack…
When Feng Wu sat down with her legs crossed, the essence crystals within a meter of her began to crack, as if they were drained of energy.
Crack…
The range expanded to two meters around her, and the ground looked like a spiderweb now.
Crack…
…
Elder Helian’s face turned green.
The range had expanded to five meters.
He suddenly rose to his feet and couldn’t look away. As for Yang Zhihu…
