2587 Dirt Transformed into a Pearl!
It turned out that lives were worth so little in the Grotto Continent! It was a luxury just to be able to live comfortably.
The average lifespan of regular citizens in the Radiance Federation was more than 90 years.
Having lived all her life in the Radiance Federation, Chu Ci did not think 90 years was especially old.
But since coming to the Grotto Continent, she found out that the regular people only lived to around 23 years of age. Any older than that and they would be seen as having a long lifespan!
She would never have believed that such a world existed without witnessing it herself.
She finally knew what it meant when people said that reading always fell short of experience.
Chu Ci did not have Creation Master talent. Suddenly, she felt she should not return to the Advanced Spirit Qi Occupation University next semester.
It was important to Cold Moon that Chu Ci received an education and knew how to act in society. According to her plan, Chu Ci would be done with the university’s cultural classes in another six months.
At university, the most that Chu Ci would be able to learn was how to interact with others and how to assimilate into the university’s environment.
She would definitely be able to grow faster by training in the Grotto Continent than she would by enjoying her life in university for the next four years.
However, Chu Ci did not make the decision for herself now and intended to talk it over with Cold Moon when she returned to the Radiance Federation. She would tell Cold Moon about her thoughts and seek her opinion.
Chu Ci was extremely respectful of her master.
Unlike Lin Yuan, Chu Ci did not have a clear memory of their parents. She had been too young, and her memories of them were very blurry. She only knew how they looked like from the photographs she had seen.
As such, she only held them figuratively in her heart.
Lin Yuan had already guessed that the ground above the Grotto Continent would be very hard. Otherwise, there would have been cave-ins and sinkholes.
If cave-ins and sinkholes happened, the spirit qi professionals from the Grotto Continent would be able to reach the surface.
Lin Yuan felt that if the spirit qi professionals from the Grotto Continent were given the opportunity, they would definitely flee to the surface instead of continuing to suffer in a place devoid of sun.
The people in the Grotto Continent had very short lifespans. This was largely due to the lack of sun.
Even with access to sunlight, which aided body growth, they could still live to a minimum of 30 years while maintaining their current lifestyles and diets.
Lin Yuan did not come to the Grotto Continent to harvest resources. His goal was to find the Continent Vein Core.
Moreover, Wen Yu had only scouted the area above the Grotto Continent. She had not had the time to venture further.
They considered the possibility of a place with abundant resources on the other side of the Barren Sea.
However, one thing remained certain: this side of the Barren Sea harbored unique feys that couldn’t be found elsewhere.
At this point, the books from the abyssal and subterranean worlds had merged into complete tomes, which Lin Yuan needed to master.
From his prior experiments, Lin Yuan knew his rest period would range from a minimum of seven days to a maximum of two weeks.
This duration couldn’t be shortened. Lin Yuan opted to seize this time, while Tower Canon hadn’t yet acted, to take control of these tomes.
Once he controlled the tomes of the abyssal and subterranean worlds, he would shift his focus to the tome of the alien insect world.
“Wen Yu, I must enter seclusion underground for over a month. During this time, you will lead Dazzling Silver and the other four in scouting and managing the situation.
“I already told you about the Continent Vein Cores. Take the Abyss Red Lotus with you. It will help you to sense the location of the Continent Vein Cores. You can dig at whatever location you sense the Continent Vein Cores!”
