Thunder exploded, and a terrifying black wind appeared from time to time, wreaking havoc in the area like a demon.

However, no matter how terrifying the area was, the place where Jiang Ming stood seemed to be detached from the outside world and was not affected at all.

He could not sense any restrictive powers or arrays here. However, the wind and lightning seemed to just bypass this area.

“This doesn’t seem like a man-made place. There’s a high chance that it’s natural.”

Jiang Ming could not help but sigh with emotion. Who would have thought that there would be such a lively place in the Black Wind Demonic Abyss?

“And looking at this place, it seems that no one has ever been here before.”

Jiang Ming walked around the grass for a moment, picked up a few stalks, and chewed them. Finally, he came to the clear spring water in the center and tried to drink a mouthful.

It was a pity that there were not any poisonous mushrooms here.

“Everything seems to contain extremely pure spiritual energy and some kind of power that can replenish vitality. These could be invaluable to cultivators with damaged spiritual cores.” Jiang Ming shook his head. “Unfortunately, it’s not of much use to me. I’ll take some before I leave. It’s not a bad idea to sell them for a good price.”

After making sure that everything was safe, Jiang Ming let the white ball out of the spirit beast bag.

As soon as the little thing jumped onto the grass, it widened its eyes in shock and rolled around on the ground in excitement.

As the white ball rolled around, its little mouth was nibbling on the grass, looking extremely satisfied.

When it accidentally fell into the spring water in the center of the space, it chirped a few times before floating up to the surface. Its little face was very shocked.

The white ball pointed at the spring water impatiently, as if it had discovered something new, and asked Jiang Ming for credit.

Jiang Ming smiled. It seemed that the things that could speed up the growth of the white ball were the spiritual grass and spiritual spring. The spiritual spring was obviously more precious.

Looking at the white ball making a fuss in the water, Jiang Ming suddenly thought of something.

“Those green jade lotus seeds have been cultivated in Xiaoqian Mountain for more than thirty years and have undergone three transformations. Although I’ve sold some, I still have about a hundred of them. Why don’t I plant some here?”

If no one was able to discover this place, he might be able to reap some unexpected rewards after a few decades.

“Even if someone is lucky enough to find this place, it doesn’t matter. It’s just a loss of some lotus seeds,” Jiang Ming muttered to himself. However, he estimated that the possibility of this was frighteningly small.

There were probably not many cultivators in the Feather Kingdom who could come to this place. Moreover, the depths of the Black Wind Demonic Abyss were deathly silent, which greatly limited perception. If it was not for the white ball’s instincts, Jiang Ming would not have discovered this place at all.

He no longer thought about it. He immediately took out a dozen lotus seeds from his storage ring and planted them in the depths of the spring.

The green jade lotus seed would grow when it came into contact with water, so there was no need to take care of it.

“Next, I’ll cultivate for some time and consolidate my cultivation before leaving!”

He had originally planned to find a place to consolidate his cultivation after leaving the Black Wind Demonic Abyss. Now that he had found this rare oasis, he would do that here.

While the wind and lightning were raging in the outside area, Jiang Ming and the white ball started their wonderful days in this oasis.

Time passed by slowly. The white ball ate the spiritual grass and other herbs and bathed in spiritual spring water every day. It became thicker and more solid and thick. Its facial features gradually developed completely. The speed of its little feet on the ground also became faster.

Jiang Ming practiced the Burning Spirit Scripture every day, and his cultivation was also rapidly condensing and gradually stabilizing in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. From time to time, he would comprehend many other cultivation techniques and spells in his hands to improve his combat power.

Time flew by, and two years passed.

More than a dozen green lotuses swayed in the spring water, and Jiang Ming finally ended his training.

“It’s almost time, we should go!” Jiang Ming looked at the white ball floating in the spring and smiled.

The white ball was floating in the water. When it heard this, it immediately stood up, its eyes full of reluctance.

“We’ll bring some herbs and spring water with us. You can eat and drink along the way. If you run out of food and water in the future, we can come back again.” Jiang Ming could not help but shake his head and smile.

The white ball raised its arms high.

Then, Jiang Ming immediately took out his flying sword and jade bottle to collect the spiritual herbs and spring water. However, this time he did not take everything. He only took the leaves of the spiritual herbs, leaving all the roots, and took only a few gallons of the spring water.

Jiang Ming had a full harvest. He put the white ball into the spirit beast bag and took out the Air-Frozen Bead again.
