When system cheat becomes rampant!

"So that's how it is."

Xiang Beifei nodded and asked, "Then can the breath soil be nourished and propagated using spiritual power?"

"The breath soil can be induced to grow, but the speed is extremely slow! If one were to use spiritual power to nourish the breath soil, with just this inch of land, with my cultivation, it would take ten thousand years to see if I could nurture even an inch. The time is too lengthy and not worth the effort, so basically no one does this kind of thankless task. So to answer your question differently——"

He Yunfang regretfully told Xiang Beifei, "The breath soil is virtually impossible to induce growth!"

"Huh?"

Xiang Beifei's eyes widened again!

"Ah! It's hard to believe, right? What can you do, the land that you see everywhere in the Great Desolate Realm is so precious here. If the breath soil could be nurtured, it wouldn't be fought over by thousands of people anymore; the land would be everywhere here, right?"

He Yunfang had already anticipated seeing Xiang Beifei's shocked expression.

——This young man must be terrified by the situation in the Edge Corner Airspace. Speaking of which, wouldn't anyone coming over from the Great Desolate Realm be shocked upon hearing about this?

To He Yunfang, the Edge Corner Airspace is the true society; the Great Desolate Realm is just child's play. Any young newcomer here has to go through a certain amount of social reality harshness in the Edge Corner Airspace to grow up.

He needs to understand the rules here, otherwise, he will suffer.

However, the shock in Xiang Beifei's mind was: So... people here can't induce the growth of breath soil?

——But I can! I can produce so much, so much, so much...

Xiang Beifei's mind was filled with those cute little grains of sand!

For the first time, he realized how special the breath soil was!

Breath soil was the second ability he unlocked on the Spirit Gathering Book. In the past, every time he used it, it was just to block attacks or release smoke bombs to confuse opponents. Later, he induced growth so much that he eventually didn't bother anymore and just stored them in the Spirit Gathering Book.

Who would have thought these stiff little guys would be so useful!

He felt as if he had found the pathway to wealth here.

He Yunfang looked at the small island beneath their feet and said, "You should have seen Ying Changhong and me fighting just now, right? Then you should understand why we value such a small island so much."

"Understood." Xiang Beifei replied.

This small island isn't actually that large, roughly thirty meters long, five meters wide, with an average thickness of less than a meter, and it's not very regular in shape either.

If converted to lengths where all dimensions are ten feet, it's probably around five feet of land at most.

Though it wouldn't buy a spiritual power crystal of the Immortal Realm, it's still a considerable fortune!

He truly understood what "an inch of land is worth an inch of gold" means.

He thought only the skyrocketing housing prices of Jiuzhou matched the phrase "an inch of land is worth an inch of gold," but the land here is even more precious. Even an expert in the Immortal Realm would have headaches over land in the Edge Corner Airspace.

He Yunfang hesitated for a moment, then said frankly, "This piece of land is yours. You saved my life, which is much more important than this land. From now on, you'll need this land to start from scratch in the Edge Corner Airspace."

Start from scratch?

Sorry, I came with a golden key.

Not interested in this little bit of land.

Xiang Beifei smiled and said, "How about this, Daoist He, I'll not take this land. I'll first rest at your place, stay for a while, learn more about the situation, consider it as the cost of learning."

Compared to his endless breath soil, this small island was insignificant, and he didn't care for it at all.

"You're not taking it?" He Yunfang was stunned, "Did you not hear the value of this land? This is not the kind of land you see everywhere in the Great Desolate Realm. It's breath soil land! Do I need to emphasize again what breath soil is?"

"Hahaha! Daoist He, money is just an external possession; making a friend is also excellent." Xiang Beifei said cheerfully.

"You still don't understand... in the Edge Corner Airspace, you can't be so generous randomly. In the future, when you understand the importance of land, you'll regret this."

Although He Yunfang valued this land, he also understood that Xiang Beifei had saved his life. It was necessary to make these reminders clear.

Feeling it was inappropriate to push further, Xiang Beifei said, "Then how about this! We share it equally, and since I'm unfamiliar with the rules here, consider it making a friend. Please take care of me in the future."

"This... that will do."

He Yunfang accepted the suggestion and didn't insist further, for land was indeed something one couldn't ignore lightly, not even he could.

"This piece of land can't be taken directly yet; it's an abandoned island that needs the branding within to be refined away." He Yunfang began to deal with this land.

"What does abandoned island mean?"

"The Edge Corner Airspace is vast, much larger than the Great Desolate Realm you came from, but due to the problem of void power, everyone needs a piece of breath soil as their base. So, land disputes are common. Killing and seizing land for breath soil is a frequent occurrence."

"After acquiring breath soil, it's usually connected through a formation and refined into one's possession. If someone sets their sights on it, a battle is inevitable.

The power of the Immortal Realm is very strong. Once a battle occurs, it won't destroy the breath soil, but will shatter the formation on the breath soil, causing the land to split apart. Sometimes, carelessly, a small piece of land gets swept 108,000 miles away by the wave of spiritual power."

"This piece of land, judging by the remaining formation marks on it, looks like it was part of someone's or a sect's territory destroyed in battle, causing it to drift in the void until we discovered it. To control this land, the previous owner's spiritual imprint must first be erased, and then your spiritual imprint introduced."

He Yunfang busied himself around the land, concerned Xiang Beifei wouldn't understand, and added, "I'll teach you how to imprint your spiritual power on the breath soil to control it. This is very important, and you need to learn it."

"Alright, I'll count on you, Daoist He."

Xiang Beifei nodded seriously.

Honestly, controlling breath soil seemed exceedingly easy in Xiang Beifei's view. But he didn't reveal his ability, preferring to let He Yunfang handle it while he pretended to be an innocent novice on the side.

The breath soil's power here wasn't particularly strong, at least not compared to when Xiang Beifei first arrived, passing through that piece of Kongcheng.

"I remember when I came; that desert was also breath soil. Doesn't anyone powerful go there to transport it?" Xiang Beifei asked.

He Yunfang shook his head, "It's not that simple! That breath soil is claimed by someone, and it's said there's a dead city there. Any attempt to refine the breath soil results in being drawn into the dead city, and there's no return. That place is very eerie. Even those of us born in the Edge Corner Airspace didn't dare cross that desert casually, needing to rely on a cultivator's body from the other side to pass, but the risks are high, and generally, no one would attempt it.

We mostly stick to finding unclaimed land or searching for breath soil containing ancient relics, hoping to get lucky. But finding it isn't easy either, as those powerful legacies are hidden and sometimes pass right by you without noticing its existence."

Xiang Beifei nodded thoughtfully.

But he wasn't concerned; coming to such a strange place, he needed to observe carefully first.

Of course, given his current ability to control breath soil, there was little to worry about.

He Yunfang, as if recalling something, paused his work and advised, "After I teach you to take possession of these lands, remember this principle! Do not flaunt your wealth; avoid exposing that you possess such a large piece. Just cut a small piece as a transport tool.

As for the excess, find a way to hide it, preferably by inscribing invisible formations on the breath soil to keep it undiscovered, otherwise, greedy people will target your land. That's very important! If you haven't joined a faction or sect, you must remember this!"

He Yunfang emphasized survival experience in this place to Xiang Beifei.

"I understand. Thank you for informing me, Daoist."

Xiang Beifei nodded seriously.

Although frankly.

He wasn't concerned about these things at all since he already owned thousands of lis of homeland and didn't even care. He'd just break apart anyone who tried to take his land by unraveling their spiritual power markings, then take it all with him!

When it comes to controlling breath soil, he hasn't feared anyone!
