Avenue Stowaway

In the open space in front of the Lingbao Hall, more than 20 people lined up in two rows, each sitting cross-legged on the ground, some with their eyes closed, some practicing. On the ground in front of these people was a piece of cloth, on which were placed some weapons and armor.

When Kong Fang arrived in front of Lingbao Hall with Sun Hao, he was shocked by the scene.

"There are people setting up stalls in front of Lingbao Hall?" Kong Fang looked at the twenty or so people in disbelief.

Although Kong Fang had been in the Qi Sect for quite some time, he was only familiar with the Tianchu Hall and the Huoyun Hall. As for the other halls, Kong Fang didn't know much, so this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

Sun Hao explained: "Most of these people are beginners who have been in the Qi Sect for many years. Their weapon refining abilities are neither good nor bad, and they cannot pass the assessment to become inner disciples, but they will not be expelled from the sect with their level. In order to embark on the path of cultivation, they collect some weapon refining materials by themselves, refine some weapons and armor, and give them to the Lingbao Hall in exchange for contribution points. The ones placed here are actually of too low a quality that the Lingbao Hall does not accept. However, there are often people who are short of money who come here to look for weapons and armor, and then they can get some contributions from the sect. When they accumulate 10,000 contribution points, they can exchange them for a one-star soul refining method."

Kong Fang's heart was suddenly touched. Although Kong Fang knew that his soul refining method was extremely precious, he never cared too much about it, after all, it was too easy to obtain. But at this moment, looking at these people who overcame all difficulties to embark on the path of cultivation, Kong Fang truly understood for the first time what he had.

"These are the people who have no regrets about embarking on the path of cultivation, even if they die." Kong Fang said silently in his heart. Looking at these people, Kong Fang couldn't help but think of what Sun Hao had said in Tianji Hall before - if I can refine an innate treasure, even if I die the next moment, I will be satisfied.

"Is this the will of the people in this world?" Kong Fang's eyes showed a trace of confusion. "They all have their own dreams and pursuits. Even if they know that the hope is slim, they never give up. Even if they spend their whole lives on it, they don't care. Then... what about me?" Kong Fang asked himself in his heart, "What am I pursuing? Am I just going to practice like this boringly until one day I am killed, or become a powerful person?"

Sun Hao, who was standing by, saw that Kong Fang looked strange and couldn't help shouting a few times, but Kong Fang didn't respond at all. Kong Fang was immersed in self-questioning, trying to figure out what he was pursuing.

"Junior Brother Kong, Junior Brother Kong..."

Sun Hao's voice seemed to come from the distant sky, somewhat undistinct and vague.

"Actually..." Kong Fang gradually came to his senses.

"I have always had a dream in my heart, which is to return to my original world, to that blue star. It may not be as wonderful or as vast as this world, but I have always missed that place in my heart. It's just that I am afraid that this is an unattainable dream, so I deliberately forget it and dare not face it. So I try to make myself a person of this world and integrate myself into this world. But in the end, I actually... still don't belong to this world."

"Junior Brother Kong." Sun Hao grabbed Kong Fang's body and shook it.

Kong Fang gradually came back to his senses and smiled at Sun Hao.

"What happened to you just now?" Sun Hao looked at Kong Fang with some concern.

"I just thought of something and was a little absent-minded for a moment." Kong Fang said with a smile. There was no sign of anything unusual about him at this moment. "Okay, let's go in." After saying that, Kong Fang walked first into the Lingbao Hall.

Sun Hao looked at Kong Fang's back in confusion, shook his head helplessly, and hurriedly chased after him.

Before entering the Lingbao Hall, Kong Fang looked back at the people in the open space and said firmly in his heart: "I also have a dream. I want to return to the land that gave birth to me and raised me, and take another look at the blue star. Even if it takes billions of years, I will have no regrets. So, I want to become stronger."

These words were engraved deeply in Kong Fang's heart like a vow, and he would never forget them.

Turning around, Kong Fang resolutely stepped into Lingbao Hall.

Kong Fang followed Sun Hao to a counter.

"Give me the jade slip that records the most precious treasures and rare materials." Sun Hao said to the waiter behind the counter.

The female servant behind the counter looked at Sun Hao and Kong Fang strangely, feeling a little puzzled. These two people didn't seem to be important people, so why would they ask for the jade slip that recorded the most precious treasure right away?

However, judging from the appearance of the two men, they should be inner hall disciples. The female servant did not dare to neglect them and quickly took out a jade slip from the corner of the counter and handed it to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao handed the jade slip to Kong Fang and said with a smile: "The detailed information of the innate treasure is recorded at the end, take a look."

Kong Fang nodded and held the jade slip in his hand.

Kong Fang, who has realized himself, has a completely different mentality than before. Before, he just wanted to live a good life, but now Kong Fang is eager to become stronger.

To become stronger, treasures are naturally indispensable. Kong Fang has even thought about this innate treasure that he has never seen before. Since it is the most precious treasure among innate treasures, it must be extremely extraordinary.

However, Kong Fang was a little confused. How could the leader of the Qi Sect allow the information about such a precious treasure to be recorded on a jade slip so that every disciple could view it?

Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Kong Fang's consciousness quickly entered the jade slip and directly checked the information recorded at the end.

"The Five Pole Differentiation Mirror is an innate treasure, a very magical treasure born between heaven and earth. It is said that there are only five Five Pole Differentiation Mirrors between heaven and earth, but they are scattered everywhere." Kong Fang quickly browsed the information in the jade slip, "The Five Pole Differentiation Mirror has no attacking ability, no defensive power. This innate treasure has only one function, and that is to cut out a clone. The clone cut out by the innate treasure Five Pole Differentiation Mirror is different from the clone refined by other methods. The clone cut out by the Five Pole Differentiation Mirror is connected to the life of the original body, and has the same consciousness. It is considered another self, and is equivalent to having an extra life."

Seeing this, Kong Fang felt eager. If he wanted to return to Earth, he had to keep getting stronger. The road ahead would surely be full of thorns and difficulties. If he could have one more life, his chances of success would undoubtedly be much greater.

Kong Fang hurriedly continued reading.

"However, the Five-Polarity Differentiation Mirror has a fatal flaw, that is, the power of this innate treasure is too strong. Using it to cut out a clone actually cuts off everything. Whether it is the soul or the talent, they will be separated from the original body and all returned to the clone."

"This..." Kong Fang was stunned. If both the talent and the soul were cut off, the original body would become a useless person. With such a result, it would be meaningless to use the Five-Polarity Splitting Mirror or not. After all, if there was an extra original body without talent and strength, it would be difficult for the original body to survive in this world once the clone got into trouble.

Feeling somewhat disappointed, Kong Fang took a look at the contribution points required to exchange for the Five-Polarity Differentiation Mirror. When he saw that only 10,000 contribution points were required, Kong Fang was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.

“Although this Five-Polar Differentiation Mirror is an innate treasure, its ability is too useless. No wonder it only requires 10,000 contribution points, which is equivalent to the contribution points for a one-star soul refining method.” Kong Fang shook his head slightly, and finally understood why the leader of the Qi Sect was so generous to make the information of this innate treasure public.

Suddenly, Kong Fang was startled. "Ten thousand contribution points are not too many, and I don't need to use contribution points to exchange for soul refining methods, cultivation techniques and formations. The only way I can use contribution points is to exchange for high-grade treasures or some good refining materials and precious materials. If there is a chance, I will get this Five-Polarity Differentiation Mirror. If I encounter danger, one more life will give me one more way to survive. Besides, this Five-Polarity Differentiation Mirror is an innate treasure. I can also take this opportunity to comprehend the difference between innate treasures and acquired treasures."

Kong Fang made a decision in his heart, which was to accumulate contributions in exchange for this innate treasure.
