The Spiritual Sea within Jiang Yuan was expanding at a rapid pace.
From its original size of thirteen zhang, it quickly swelled and enlarged, reaching fourteen zhang in a blink of an eye.
Waves surged, and the waves beat against the outer wall of this small world.
The area of the Spiritual Sea also expanded with each wave.
Fifteen zhang… fifteen and a half… sixteen zhang…
As time passed, the rate of expansion gradually came to a halt.
Jiang Yuan knew that his breakthrough was about to complete at this moment.
After a while, it finally stabilized at a size of sixteen and a half zhang.
Jiang Yuan felt his internal capacity increase nearly twofold and immediately showed a look of joy.
However, the thought of the resources needed to break through from the third to the fourth level doubling gave him a headache.
Right now he had only over ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones left.
Far from enough, it seemed he could only refine that half of the spiritual vein jade marrow.
Then, he slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at his Status Panel.

Then he saw Lu Qingshan in the courtyard.
He also glanced at Shu Xiaoxiao, who was still training, and was momentarily taken aback.
This little girl could practice non-stop for seven days. Her level of fanaticism was no less than mine!
Then he got up quietly and left his yard, heading to the front courtyard.
“I greet the Sect Leader!” Jiang Yuan saluted.
“No need for formalities!” Lu Qingshan smiled, then examined Jiang Yuan.
“I didn’t expect you to be this monstrous, breaking through in just seven days.”
“If you had enough resources, I imagine you would break through the Spiritual Sea Realm in a year or two.”
Jiang Yuan sighed faintly: “Even so, it will still take a year or two to breakthrough, and that’s assuming sufficient resources. Unfortunately, I don’t have that many resources.”
Thinking about this, Jiang Yuan felt a headache coming on.
Don’t consider that he only needed over thirty thousand spiritual stones to break through to level 3.
However, looking at the need of Spiritual Sea Realm, the resources needed for each breakthrough are doubled.
In this way, the amount of resources needed to break from the eighth to the ninth level of Spiritual Sea Realm is a massive figure.
He did a simple calculation and found that he needed more than 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones, in addition to the resources needed for the previous break through. This amount of spiritual stones would empty the reserves of a sect.
Perhaps this is the downside of having nine zhang nine right from the start of Spiritual Sea cultivation. With a naturally profound base, the resources needed for later breakthroughs would naturally rise with it.
However, the advantages brought along were also substantial, with spiritual power several times that of cultivators of the same realm.
The most crucial thing was, with a deeper foundation, he could go further in the future.
But it came back to that problem – the amount of resources needed is astronomical.
Lu Qingshan saw the look of worry on Jiang Yuan’s face, then he lightly said, “That’s not too much of a problem!”
Jiang Yuan’s eyes brightened instantly, looking at him he asked, “Does the Sect Leader have a solution?”
Lu Qingshan faintly smiled, “The profits from the spiritual stone vein have already been negotiated for 30% in your favor for the future!”
“Thank you, Sect Leader!” Jiang Yuan said joyously.
“There’s no need for thanks, you deserve it.”
Jiang Yuan asked, “Sect Leader, do you know how much a spiritual stone vein yields in a day?”
“Based on the output of the previous three spiritual stone veins, the annual production is around 200,000.”
“Why is the yield so low?” Jiang Yuan asked, revealing a long-held doubt.
Lu Qingshan immediately explained, “There are two reasons!”
“Firstly, for sustainable mining, it is necessary to ensure that the spiritual energy concentration of the spiritual stone vein is sufficient so that it can continuously gather spiritual energy to produce spiritual stones, thus ensuring that the spiritual stone reserves never run out. Otherwise, excessive mining may cause the whole vein to lose its regenerative ability in decades.”
“The second reason is that the spiritual stone is fragile and cannot be mined violently. Once its surface is damaged, the internal spiritual energy will leak out.”
“The combination of these two factors results in a low annual yield.”
After hearing Lu Qingshan’s explanation, Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought.
Having 30% of the yield allocated to him was indeed very generous.
However, for him, it had limited effect. With an output of just 60,000 spiritual stones a year, thinking of the resources he needed to breakthrough made his head ache.
He would need decades to accumulate enough for his Spiritual Sea Realm breakthrough just relying on the yield from this spiritual stone vein.
This pace was normal for others.
Even in the Qanyuan Kingdom, those below fifty who have broken through to the Spiritual Sea Realm are few and far between.
The ones on the Heavenly Ranking have only connected two bridges before fifty and have achieved the Divine Bridge Realm.
A series of thoughts flashed through Jiang Yuan’s mind.
Then he looked at Lu Qingshan and asked, “Sect Leader, would this be possible?”
“Advancing the twenty years worth of spiritual stone allocation to me now, and then I’ll return the 30% of the spiritual stone vein yield to the sect. Would this be possible?”
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, Lu Qingshan was taken aback.
“Are you in desperate need of cultivation resources?”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Yes, I would like to advance to the Divine Bridge Realm as soon as possible, so I urgently need resources.”
“If I have enough resources, I’m confident that I can reach the Divine Bridge Realm within a year or two.”
Lu Qingshan fell into silence, and after a while, he slowly said, “Even if I go out of my way, I can’t manage to advance twenty years worth for you.”
“The current situation among the Qanyuan Imperial Family and major sects is already in a precarious state.”
