The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries

Shi Jian claimed the red packet, and some Spirit Medicine and the Stone Talisman appeared within his perception. These Spirit Medicine were all for Mental Energy, sent by Lin Dong along with the Stone Talisman.

Shi Jian looked at the Spirit Medicine with some surprise. Was this something Lin Dong would do? This guy actually had a subtle side to his rough actions.

Shi Jian smiled, then extracted the Stone Talisman. The Stone Talisman appeared in Shi Jian's hand, and he channeled his Mental Energy into it. He quickly sensed a mysterious Mental Space within the Stone Talisman.

Shi Jian expanded his Mental Energy and soon discovered two giant crystal grinding discs slowly rotating in a void space! At the very center of the grinding discs, a special fluctuation slowly spread out.

This was the Mental Grinding Disc inside the Stone Talisman. One only needed to sit at the junction of the crystal grinding discs, and the discs would crush one's Mental Energy, then restore it, repeating this cycle. It could rapidly enhance one's Mental Energy!

This Cultivation method was fast, but its difficulty was also quite high. The excruciating pain of Mental Energy being crushed was not something everyone could endure. If one couldn't hold on, it might even damage the original Soul, leaving some after-effects!

After a moment of hesitation, Shi Jian directly rushed into the disc of light at the junction of the two giant grinding discs. In an instant, an irresistible immense force enveloped him.

Under this power, Shi Jian immediately lost control of his Physical Body. Then, his Physical Body began to crumble inch by inch. An indescribable agony invaded him.

The two crystal grinding discs rotated slowly at a constant speed, and Shi Jian's Physical Body was easily crushed like an ant under these crystal grinding discs! Visible cracks spread across every part of his Physical Body.

"F*ck…" Shi Jian couldn't help but curse. He knew Cultivating with this thing would be painful. But he hadn't expected it to be this painful. Lin Dong was truly a ruthless person to make this a part of his daily Cultivation.

For a moment, Shi Jian even thought about giving up. However, he then reconsidered. While this thing was painful, its effects were genuinely powerful!

Shi Jian could clearly feel specks of light energy emerging from the crystal grinding discs, repairing his Soul. His Mental Energy was getting stronger little by little.

Feeling the progress, Shi Jian gritted his teeth and persevered. He naturally wouldn't endure meaningless pain, but this kind of pain where he could constantly feel his progress… Could come even more fiercely.

Pale white light surged, and the terrifying power of the crystal grinding discs poured onto Shi Jian. His Mental Energy was crushed by the grinding discs again and again, then reformed.

Shi Jian's Mental Energy also increased little by little, and at the same time, his will continuously grew stronger! After dozens of times, Shi Jian finally felt a sense of weakness at the Soul level.

Shi Jian quickly exited the crystal grinding discs. He opened his eyes, and his entire being exuded a sense of fatigue and weakness. However, his Mental Energy was much stronger and more solidified than before.

Shi Jian quickly took some Spirit Medicine for nourishing Mental Energy, and only then did he feel his Mental Energy replenished! Cultivating in the Stone Talisman Space caused no damage to the Physical Body, but it was a tremendous drain on Mental Energy. No wonder Lin Dong told him to prepare Mental Energy Spirit Medicine.

(Stone Talisman inclusion progress: 50%)

A message flashed before his eyes. The Library of the Heavens was including the Stone Talisman. Shi Jian's mouth curved into a smile.

Once the Library of the Heavens finished including the Stone Talisman, he could use the Library of the Heavens to temper his Mental Energy. The Library of the Heavens could include all things, including but not limited to Cultivation Techniques, Divine Abilities, Physiques, Magic Treasures… And Shi Jian could load these items.

If the Stone Talisman was included, he could directly load the Stone Talisman. At that time, he could return this Stone Talisman to Lin Dong.

Shi Jian had never used the Library of the Heavens' function to include Physiques and Magic Treasures before. Mainly because there were no treasures worth including.

There were a bunch of powerful Cultivation Techniques in the group, but very few valuable treasures. Only the "Stone Talisman" and the "Yellow Springs Diagram" could be considered precious. He was currently including the Stone Talisman, and the Yellow Springs Diagram's effect was greatly reduced without Yan, so it wasn't necessarily essential to include.

During the previous gathering, Shi Jian had tried to include "Fang Han"! After all, this guy was the artifact spirit of the Gate of Eternal Life. It would be awesome if he could directly include the Gate of Eternal Life. Unfortunately, the Library of the Heavens did not respond. Perhaps it was because Fang Han was currently a person.

After checking the Library of the Heavens' inclusion progress, Shi Jian didn't pay it any more attention. Instead, he opened the chat group…

"…Speaking of which, isn't the chat group also an item?"

"I wonder if it can be included?" Just as he opened the chat group, Shi Jian suddenly had a good idea. He tried to use the Library of the Heavens' inclusion function to include the chat group. The next moment, he was stunned!

(Heavens Chat Group inclusion progress: 0.00…1%)

This is possible? Shi Jian was stunned! The Library of the Heavens could actually include the Heavens Chat Group? Although the progress was infinitesimally small, with a long string of zeros, it indeed indicated a possibility.

"I wonder what effect it will have after including the chat group?" Shi Jian was somewhat expectant. However, looking at the progress bar with a long string of zeros, he felt a bit of despair. This progress bar would probably take forever.

Shi Jian shook his head, no longer bothering with the Library of the Heavens, and instead looked at the chat group! A long string of messages had already scrolled through the chat group. And there were also several red packets sent to him.

[Xiao Yan: Shi Jian? Why haven't you been active for so long? I almost thought you were dead… The Spirit Medicine you sent me last time were amazing. Yao Lao has completely recovered thanks to them… Thank you!]

[Xiao Yan: He also refined some Medicinal Pills for Mental Energy. I'll send you some!]

[Fang Han: You want to improve your Mental Energy? I also have some Medicinal Pills here…]

Seeing the conversation between Lin Dong and Shi Jian, everyone knew that Shi Jian needed Mental Energy Spirit Medicine and Medicinal Pills, so they all sent him red packets related to that!

Shi Jian smiled slightly as he looked at these red packets. As expected of his bros, they were supportive!

[Shi Jian: I was in seclusion breaking through my Realm earlier, entering a state similar to Epiphany, so I didn't notice the situation in the group!]

Shi Jian mentioned his previous seclusion Cultivation.

[Fang Han: So it was a breakthrough. No wonder you weren't active!]

Fang Han had also learned some modern language from Xiao Yan and the others. He knew about being active and lurking.

[Xiao Yan: When I absorb the Heavenly Flame, it also takes many days…]

[Yang Qi: It's still fine now; our Realms are still low, so even a breakthrough doesn't take much time. But in the future, when our Realms are high, breaking through a single Realm might require hundreds or thousands of years of seclusion!]

[Lin Dong: Exactly, great Cultivators go into seclusion for decades or hundreds of years at a time…]

A group of people started discussing issues related to seclusion. Suddenly, a message caught everyone's attention.

[Meng Qi: Brothers, this is bad. I'm about to enter the Reincarnation Space!]
