"It should be at the limit now."
As the people outside caves number one and two were discussing, they saw Master Yuxiao already bringing the Commerce Association entourage to the outside of cave number three.
Actually, according to the Face Reading Skill, Master Yuxiao had lost hope, and the reason for this gesture was merely for the reputation of the Commerce Association.
However, the crowd waited a day, and the swallowing sea absorption inside Li Ji’an’s cave continued without any sign of halting.
In the blink of an eye, the third day passed, and the fourth day arrived.
At this moment, the amount of Spiritual Qi being absorbed was already about to reach eighty percent of the cave’s total Spiritual Qi.
Almost equivalent to the total amount of Spiritual Qi in one and a half Biyun Sects.
"Can it still withstand this?"
"Could it be that we’ve all misjudged?"
"From that young friend’s Magical Power, it shouldn’t be so, unless he has practiced Body Refining?"
By this point, some began to feel doubtful.
Master Yuxiao brought the Commerce Association delegation and waited outside for a day, yet no Qi collapse occurred, and doubts began to arise.
On the fifth day,
Li Ji’an’s swallowing speed did not decrease, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he swallowed all the Spiritual Qi of the entire third Dao Field.
"What on earth is happening? How can he still bear it?"
"Apart from Celestial Spirit Roots and practiced Celestial Grade Cultivation Techniques, with exceedingly refined and pure Magical Power, how can ordinary cultivators bear the pressure of the entire Dao Field’s Spiritual Qi?"
"Could he be Second Tier Body Refining?"
"This is bad!" Seeing all the Qi above Li Ji’an’s cave absorbed into the cave, the surrounding Qi began to converge towards Li Ji’an’s cave.
Furthermore, due to the extreme suction power, it was not only drawing Qi from one direction but from all sides, causing the Qi around Dao Field one and two to simultaneously shift.
Most anxious was the delegation from the Taian Commerce Association outside cave number one.
Five days ago, Tu Yifei swallowed and almost exhausted the Qi in his cave, but the subsequent speed slowed down. Now, having just absorbed everything and prepared to seize outside Qi, he suddenly encounters this situation.
Moreover, Li Ji’an’s swallowing power has not shown signs of decline, and Tu Yifei clearly cannot compete with him, showing signs of retreat.
In this case, there remains a gap of half a Dao Field from Tu Yifei’s limit, which will reduce his hope for Golden Core breakthrough by at least fifty percent!
In contrast, Bai Cailin has already swallowed forty percent of her Dao Field’s Qi; the swallowing speed is very slow, and the normal limit is around fifty percent, so facing Li Ji’an’s swallowing power at the moment, she is completely unaffected.
"Stop now!" Gu Tianfeng could no longer endure, immediately shouted.
At the same time, he said to Steward Tong: "This child’s cave has already shown anomalies, and it’s affecting my Commerce Association’s Immortal Seedling’s Core Formation, must stop immediately!"
Steward Tong looked troubled: "President Gu, please calm down, Dao Field rules state that unless a Core Formation Cultivator’s accident is confirmed, the cave cannot be forcibly opened, influencing Core Formation."
"Absurd! It’s so obvious, don’t you understand that the kid’s situation has clearly shown issues in the third Dao Field; he’s already swallowed the Qi of an entire Dao Field into the cave in seven days, how can he withstand it?" President Gu was furious.
"But... there’s been no Qi collapse in his cave yet, which proves..." Steward Tong argued with reason.
"Proves what? This only proves he’s gritting his teeth, possibly enduring through sheer physique; I dare to assert that if more than another ten percent is swallowed, he might explode!" With each moment delayed, the Qi swallowed by Li Ji’an’s cave increases, significantly impacting Tu Yifei. If this keeps up, half a day later, there will be no Qi left around Tu Yifei’s cave to swallow, and he’ll have no choice but to enter the next phase, becoming increasingly agitated, Gu Tianfeng.
"Steward Tong, it’s obviously an abnormal situation this time, if you can’t decide, why not invite Alliance Leader Tong to come forward." President Bai wasn’t overly anxious but still cooperated with Gu Tianfeng.
Steward Tong gave a bitter smile, winked at the two and looked towards Master Yuxiao outside of cave number three.
Master Yuxiao stood aside, listening to the negotiation, face already somber.
No matter how poorly the Si Shui Commerce Association was, it shouldn’t be so disregarded.
Currently in the Dao Field, Core Formation is the Commerce Association’s Elder, yet the other side wants to forcefully open the cave to stop the Core Formation without discussing with her, the President, truly crossing the line.
Originally, she also felt Li Ji’an’s situation was bound to be doomed.
If they had come to her for discussion first, she might have given them a favor.
But now, she was resolute not to yield a single step!
