Fortunately, the tiny amount of spiritual energy in the mountain was almost sucked dry in just three days. If Ling Yan had sat down for ten days to half a month, Mount Fuji might have turned into a rocky mountain in a short period of time, but since then, after three days of Ling Yan's absorption, a large number of giant trees on the mountain began to wither. After that, the tall and straight bamboo forest around the foot of the mountain also began to decline year after year, almost disappearing, which caused the Japanese authorities to panic.

Fuji Mountain was a sacred symbol of Japan, one of the only three sites that symbolized nature, history and modernity. Even the Prime Minister had come to inspect the site and paid attention to it, but unfortunately, after eight years of investigation, the instruments worth hundreds of millions of yuan were still damaged and unable to find anything, so the Prime Minister had to give up. Fifty years passed before the natural collapse of Mount Fuji was stabilized and a turnaround occurred. Sadly, it took the Japanese several years to get Mount Fuji to apply for the World Heritage List, and after that, they were all wiped out by United Nations cultural workers.

Ling Yan opened his eyes and saw that the stone chamber was shrouded in clouds and mist. He grinned, as he had seen this when he was in seclusion at the peak of Mount Fuji.

In the past three days of meditation, Ling Yan felt something change within his body. The sphere hovering over his Mind Palace had grown larger than before, from the size of a finger to an inch in diameter. Its color had changed from a pure cyan to a dark cyan.

In the depths of his mind, there were three hazy little balls of mist swirling around the spirit source. The other two still looked as white as before, but the green ball appeared to be abnormal, and not only was it much more solid, its surface also had a faint green halo like the sun halo. The halo was very small, and was as thick as a match stick.

Ling Yan didn't know whether this feeling was good or bad, but he didn't dare to probe the situation of the core, afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would enter closed-door seclusion for a few hundred years. On Earth, Ling Yan didn't plan to go into seclusion. Even if he had to, he would do it after meeting his family on the Dense Cloud Star. Otherwise, who knew how long it would take for him to meet his parents and his unknown sister on Earth!

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Hu Qiang's call woke Ling Yan from his thoughts. Ling Yan turned around and smiled. "Why don't you cultivate for a while longer?" This is a rare opportunity. "

Hu Qiang held onto Ling Yan's arm and chuckled: "Are you afraid that you won't get the chance to stay by big brother's side? "Brother, I've decided. From now on, I'll follow you wherever you go, okay?" As she finished speaking, she raised her charming face and looked at Ling Yan with a pleading expression. However, Ling Yan did not see even the slightest trace of a pleading expression on her firm little face.

He couldn't help but laugh, "I will leave Earth for the depths of space in the future. You also want to go?"

Hu Qiang didn't say anything, she only stared at him, slightly nodding her head, her expression was as resolute as ever.

Ling Yan smiled, "You can't go because your cultivation is not high enough. "The pressure in the transfer array cannot be endured without a cultivation at the late stage of the Aurous Core stage. Your current cultivation is equivalent to the cultivation level of a cultivator at the Heart of Tranquil Stage.

Hu Qiang revealed a mischievous expression and said, "You don't have to worry about this big brother. All you have to say is whether or not you agree to let me follow you in the future."

Although she had a sweet smile on her face as she asked this, her eyes had already turned red. On Earth, aside from her master who was nowhere to be found, only two people could make Hu Qiang feel close to her for hundreds of years. Xiao Lixuan had been busy gathering herbs and refining pills all day, and if she wanted to see her, she would have to take the initiative to visit her. Sometimes, she would have to travel across mountains and rivers to reach Karakorum, but Hu Qiang could only watch blankly as Xiao Lixuan got busy.

It was only until she met Ling Yan that Ling Yan did not feel disgusted by Hu Qiang's arrogance. After the incident was over, he actually came to her door to treat her injury, and that easygoing nature of his left a deep impression on Hu Qiang. From Ling Yan's body, Hu Qiang felt the long-awaited love, thus she tried to get close to Ling Yan.

He patted her on the head and smiled as he promised, "Big brother promised to take you to the Sunset Star, but your body can't withstand the pressure of the transportation formation. I can protect you for a while, but I can't help you along the way!"

My cultivation base has already reached the late Nascent Soul stage, but after taking form, my cultivation regressed by a few levels. However, my body is still under a lot of pressure … Hehe, brother, because I'm a Demonic Cultivator, my body is always stronger than the other Cultivators of the same level, so it's not a problem, hehe.

Ling Yan smiled and said, "Alright, as long as any of you are willing to go with me to the Dense Cloud Star, I will bring you all if you meet the requirements." After all, there were too few physiques with the five elements. Once cultivators were born, in an Earth where spiritual energy was scarce, if one wanted to achieve something, they would have to think of other methods, such as passing through a transmission array to go to Sunset Star to cultivate after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage. Ling Yan decided to bring his four juniors along when he left.

Ling Yan glanced at Wu Qi and the rest, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground, and took out a Jade Eyelet. With a wave of his right hand, he placed it on Wu Qi's knee and walked to Hu Qiang's side and said: "Let's go! I'm afraid that they will have to wait until the spiritual energy in the cave is completely absorbed before they can wake up. "

Hu Qiang asked, "What did you put on Daoist Master Qing Feng's body?"

"A jade eye manual for recording words. I have set up a restriction on the true essence wall in the passageway. The jade eye manual contains the formula and method for entering and leaving."

The two of them followed the original route and arrived outside the mountain. It was early in the morning. The mountain was covered in clouds and steam. There was no one within ten feet of the mountain.

The two of them chatted and laughed on the wide mountainside, as if they were a couple visiting a famous mountain. Seeing the two halves of the mountain road littered with human waste, Ling Yan said, "Mount Fuji is a world-famous scenic area. It should be managed in an orderly manner, so why is there so much garbage?" Along the way to the mountainside, there was more and more garbage, from sparse to now all over the ground, especially at the mouth of some karst caves. The garbage was pushed and spread, directly affecting some of the tourist attractions on Mount Fuji and turning into a small stain.

Hu Rose laughed, "Every day, the number of tourists that come to Mount Fuji is calculated by ten thousand, so how can the number of garbage that is produced be reduced? Japanese authorities have been strengthening the environmental management of Mount Fuji since 1990, and the number of managers has been increasing from more than 50 to more than 1,000. However, they are still unable to stop the proliferation of garbage, because there are more and more tourists! "

Ling Yan laughed, "What's the use of just adding management staff if we don't manage it thoroughly? Even if we add another thousand people to the management, it will still be useless. "

"Young man, how can it be considered a fundamental administration?" A voice came from the side of the road.

The two of them stopped and turned around. On the side of the road stood an old man wearing a jacket. The old man had a bag in his left hand and a wooden stick with a one meter long hook on the tip in his right hand.

Because the old man was an ordinary person, he didn't pay any attention to him. In fact, the one who was squatting on the tree next to the old man and the one who was lying on the grass a few meters behind him were both people who had practiced martial arts. They both had calm auras, and their tendons and bones were several times tougher than those of ordinary people.

Ling Yan could tell from their auras that these two people were the old man's bodyguards. It was obvious that those who had personal guards with them were usually high up in the sky, but the old man was dressed like trash. Initially, Ling Yan was too lazy to bother with him, but the old man took the initiative to greet him, even speaking fluent Chinese, which piqued Ling Yan's interest.

Ling Yan smiled and said, "Old mister, you're Japanese?"

The old man nodded and said, "I've lived in China for more than ten years, so I can speak a few words about your language. Young people, welcome to visit Japan for sightseeing! "

Ling Yan also smiled politely, "Mount Fuji in Japan is one of the world's most famous scenic spots. It has a strange regional atmosphere, especially this mountain full of floral cherry blossoms, which makes people linger around. The scenery we admire has brought you quite a bit of trouble. Haha, old mister, please don't mind it!"

Although the old man in front of him had a kind expression, Ling Yan could see from the smile on his face the look of a vulture that had been cultivated through a long period of time. Although the old man concealed it well, he was of no use in front of Ling Yan. Ling Yan shook his head. This old man was not a good person. The Japanese were as black as crows.

The old man waved his hand and smiled, "Japan has always been a hospitable country. As long as you come here with sincerity, all of Japan's citizens will sincerely welcome you. We did a good job on that, hur hur! "

Hu Qiang interrupted and said, "Senior, you spoke Chinese so fluently and even used the ancient language of our country. You're much stronger than me. It seems that you've learned quite a lot in China!"

The old man's face stiffened as he laughed, "This old man has lived in your country for more than ten years and has been with your people day and night. Naturally, I know how to do that a little. Haha, I'm sorry for making fun of you."
