It was pitch dark inside the cave. Su Zi Mo did not know how deep it was, nor did he know if there were any monsters or not. He did not dare to go in, afraid that the beasts would devour him.

Meow …

He couldn't help but turn around abruptly, and discovered that there was a white kitten the size of a palm, with a hint of intelligence in its eyes, and it looked cute and adorable. However, there was an obvious wound on its body, which was shocking to behold.

"Pu ci …"

The cat's claws were very sharp, directly ripping apart Su Zi Mo's beast skin. His tender skin broke upon contact, and fresh blood flowed out.

"Ah …" I'm finished! " Su Zi Mo was greatly alarmed, his small hands frantically clawing, as if he wanted to send this spirit cat flying. However, the blood on the spirit cat had mysteriously disappeared the moment it touched her blood.

"Where are you? Don't scare me! Come out quickly, I'm not afraid of you! " Su Zi Mo was frightened out of his wits and sat on the ground.

"Master, don't be afraid, I'm a spirit pet, I'm already your spirit pet, I'm heavily injured right now and will need to rest for a few days before I appear, but your meridians are blocked by medicine and are unable to produce any spirit energy. I'll help you clean your meridians first, so that you can cultivate first."

A young and tender little girl's voice came from within Su Zi Mo's sea of consciousness. It sounded like it belonged to a five or six year old, and it sounded just like the soft chirping of an oriole.

"I have a spirit pet. I can cultivate now!" Su Zi Mo was overjoyed. He didn't even have the time to cry out before he felt a heart-wrenching pain in all his limbs and bones. With a groan, he fainted.

A stream of spirit power was like a small stream, but it was also incomparably sharp. It flowed into Su Zi Mo's blocked meridians, and all the impurities in his blocked meridians were turned into powder, which could be seen through his skin. His white skin was covered with dark impurities, and there was a horrible stench coming from it.

"Huh, Master's meridians are not ordinary impurities, but medicine, and it's a chronic poison that has a lot of side effects on the body. Who poisoned Master?" Yu Ling hid within Su Zi Mo's sea of consciousness, looking down at his limbs and bones, and couldn't help but speak to herself with a frown.

This was the place where spiritual energy was stored. The size of the Qi Sea determined the future of a cultivator, and the larger the Qi Sea, the greater the potential of the cultivator.

Her aurasea was completely clogged up and filled with impurities. It was almost congealing with her body, and she would need a lot of spiritual power to open it up.

"Sigh, since I have acknowledged you as my master, I might as well help you. At most, I will sleep for a few more days!" Otherwise, with such mediocre aptitude, how could he be worthy of the great Spirit Controlling Cat race? " Yu Ling twisted her body, and two beams of spirit power shot out of her eyes. She then rushed towards the Qi Sea at an unstoppable speed.

Although Su Zi Mo had already fainted, this kind of soul piercing pain was still tormenting her. When the three strands of Qi entered her Qi Sea, she clenched her fists tightly, her fingers almost digging into her flesh.

"Ah …" I'm in so much pain! It hurt! Am I dying? I want to go back to Earth, I miss my mom and dad … "Sob, sob, sob …" Su Zi Mo's eyes were tightly shut, but he could not stop his tears from pouring out.

"Master, go to sleep. Everything is just an illusion. When you wake up, everything will be fine." Yu Ling cat comforted Su Zi Mo's soul, letting her soul enter a deep sleep.

"Sigh, if not for the fact that I was injured by that bastard and desperately needed a host body to recuperate in, I wouldn't have chosen you as my master. Your body is too weak, but your soul is very powerful." Yu Ling sighed, her body on the verge of collapse. Being wounded by the Demon Lord Mu Yan, she could be considered quite strong by now.

The Qi Sea grew larger and larger. At this moment, the Qi Sea had expanded to more than twenty miles, just like a small universe. A small vortex of Qi began to form within the Qi Sea, stirring the Qi Sea and causing the body to involuntarily absorb the Qi from the Spirit Valley.

The spiritual energy in the spiritual valley was very dense, and even in winter, it was much denser than in other places. In that moment, Su Zi Mo felt as if he had turned into a black hole, and all the spiritual energy within a mile radius could not escape her control.

Before the cat could clean up the impurities in its dantian, Yu Ling fainted. In the end, it only had enough time to say, "Master, it's up to you now, but with your talent now, you can be considered a little genius. I hope you can keep me awake …"

Su Zi Mo's body was attracted by the Qi and slowly left the ground. He rushed into the valley, parallel to the sky, three to four meters above the ground. The Qi around his body almost condensed into liquid form, continuously rushing into the Qi Sea, turning into spirit liquid droplets.

However, her Qi Sea was too big, and her spirit power was at least twice as large as an ordinary first level Spirit Consolidating realm, so she hadn't been able to successfully advance to the Spirit Consolidating realm.

According to Su Zi Mo's knowledge, the Spirit Consolidating Realm is the threshold for cultivators. The next realm is the Spirit Returning Realm, then the Earth Spirit Realm, the Sky Spirit Realm, and the Spirit Sect's strongest is the Earth Spirit Realm.

Each realm was divided into six small realms. Each step took one level, and each time one stepped into a level, one's strength would increase tenfold. If one crossed a large realm, their strength would instantly increase by more than a hundred times.

Lingxiu was the eldest senior sister of Lady Ziyun, a person at the 2nd level of the Solidified Spirit realm, while Ling Yu and Ling Mo were only at the 1st level of the Solidified Spirit Realm. The three of them had poor aptitudes and their spirit pets were also very weak, so their status in the Spirit Sect was very low.

However, even if it was the first level of the Solidified Spirit Realm, in the eyes of the commoners, they would still be like fairies. A first level Solidified Spirit Realm cultivator could kill dozens of mortal men! However, once they ran out of spirit energy, they wouldn't even be able to match up to an ordinary peasant woman, because most cultivators' bodies were extremely fragile!

The Qi Sea started to clear out the remaining impurities in his body, starting from his Dantian and slowly spreading to his thigh.

Time passed by very quickly. As the sky gradually brightened, a red glow dispersed the white mist. Su Zi Mo had yet to awaken, but his body had already returned to the ground.

The amount of spirit power in his aura sea was already five times that of an ordinary person in the first level of the Spirit Consolidating Realm. At this moment, spirit power turned into a monstrous torrent that roiled through his limbs and bones, breaking through the shackles of the first level of the Spirit Consolidating Realm in an instant and successfully advancing to the Spirit Consolidating Realm.

"Ah …" So painful … So comfortable... "Ugh!" Su Zi Mo was in pain and happy at the same time. His eyebrows slightly raised as he woke up. Feeling the strong spiritual energy in his body, he sat up in surprise. However, the tip of his nose wrinkled as he waved his hands, "So smelly …"

There was a small stream in the Spirit Valley, and a hot spring was located in the upper reaches of the river. It was warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and Su Zi Mo was running like a feather with his spirit energy.

"Wuhahaha, I also have a spirit pet and can cultivate. Lingxiu, just you wait!" Su Zi Mo excitedly stripped himself of his clothes and rushed into the hot spring. The impurities on his body had been washed clean, exposing his baby-like skin, and could be broken with a flick of his fingers.
