After successfully returning to the middle region, Han Shu immediately went to where Yueyin was by sensing her qi energy.

Han Shu then came to a place that was quite remote in the central region but crowded by cultivators there. They looked friendly smile with the burly man in the lead.

"It turns out he gathered these people together to work together. I think he's managed to put his trust in them."

Han Shu looked around the place to find Yueyin. Yueyin was mining with sweat soaking her face and body. He was mining while wiping away the sweat running down his face.

When he saw Han Shu, Yueyin instantly stopped mining."Sir, you're back. Welcome..." He approached Han Shu. Likewise with the burly man who came to him after realizing his arrival.

"Hey are you okay? How's it down there? Did you get any danger?" ask the burly man.

"Not really, I just met a herd of Earth Tigers."

"Oh them... They're not very strong. But, how do you know the name of the monster? No, forget it." The burly man suspected Han Shu.

"Yueyin, let's go back upstairs."

"You don't even thank me" said the burly man. However, Han Shu ignored.

"Okay, sir." replied Yueyin. Before leaving, he bid farewell to the cultivators there and also picked up the results of his mines today.

"Tomorrow don't forget to come to this place again." They looked very friendly to Yueyin.

A group of cultivators there were not plundered because they were protected by the burly man. They had a goal of coming out together from that place.

"By the way, if you need help, find me here" said the burly man.

Han Shu nodded then asked, "What's your name?"

"You can call me Jiang Li."

"I'll remember it." Han Shu then left with Yueyin who was walking beside him towards the upper region.

When they were about to leave, they met the man from the boss of the plunder group. He asked for Han Shu's proceeds according to the agreement.

The spiritual stone was useless to Han Shu so he gave it all to her. Although he had deliberately obtained a bit of high-tier spiritual stones that were worth their daily mines.

After the messenger received and left, Han Shu continued the journey of the upper region.

As was the case yesterday, the new cultivators felt exhausted but did not get any results. They could only obey their seniors.

"What am I supposed to do here if I'm just their slave. If only I could use my powers, I would kill them all." Many think so.

"Hey, where have you been! Where's your mine, you haven't given it to me!" He forced Han Shu to give away his mine.

"I've already given it to the other senior" Han Shu replied.

"Don't lie to me, give it to me! Before I lose the patience to kill you!" Although Han Shu was telling the truth, he did not believe it.

"Hm... Alright."

"Yueyin give me some of your spiritual stones, not too many. Just give it the equivalent you gave me yesterday." Han Shu sent Yueyin through telepathy.

Yueyin then obeyed Han Shu's orders and gave them to the senior.

"Oh, the spiritual stone is victorious. Apparently you're out of the middle region... Go there often and produce more of these spiritual stones." After getting it he immediately left.

Han Shu and Yueyin then went to where they were resting. When we get there...

"Sir, why are you holding back?" ask Yueyin. He held onto Han Shu's clothes from behind.

"You said I was holding back? Do you want me to handle them? I don't wanna do it. But just so you know, you can do it. This time don't rely on me too much." Han Shu wanted Yueyin to solve the problem to add to her experience.

"I don't know what to do..."

Yueyin thought hard about what she should do. Then he suddenly gained a bit of enlightenment, "Then teach me how to use my strength."

"Do you know now what to do? Then wake me up in the middle of the night, I'll teach you."

As Han Shu said, Yueyin woke Han Shu who was asleep in the middle of the night. As promised, Han Shu taught Yueyin until the morning.

The next morning...

"Do as I teach you. If you work hard at least you need a month to master it."

Time goes by so fast. A whole month had suddenly just passed by. During that one month, Yueyin was only mining spiritual stones in the upper region and at night he practiced.

As for Han Shu, every day went to the lower regions to explore and cultivate while increasing his spiritual power by absorbing high-tier spiritual stones.

After that one month, Yueyin was finally able to master and use her power. While Han Shu's cultivation development was quite slow. However, his spiritual power greatly increased.

"It's been a month that I've come here, but I haven't seen a single Blood Rat. I think I should explore deeper. But I'm still worried about going there. My strength is not enough."

"I'll be back. Yueyin should have mastered it. I wonder what he will do to fight that senior cultivator."
