Once those people finished discussing enthusiastically and were considering selecting their own huts.

Liou Yuan had already chosen his dwelling.

It was the location closest to the mountain peak among these huts.

The closer to the peak, the nearer to the stars, and naturally, the stronger the star energy.

There are only four such high-altitude dwellings in total.

Liou Yuan occupied one, Fu Xueping and Xie Miaobo each took one.

The other one was occupied by a plump fellow, who was clever enough to sneak up the mountain while everyone else was absorbed in Fang Yu’s grand plan.

Due to the arrangement in Yanhe City, Liou Yuan and Xie Miaobo’s residences were less than twenty meters apart, making it convenient for them to move between each other.

Just as Fang Yu instructed before he left.

That night, some servant disciples entered this forested area where they were located.

While bringing food and clean water, they also brought their individual tokens, along with the cultivation resources Fang Yu mentioned.

Liou Yuan spent half a day cleaning up this hut and swiftly devoured the food brought by the servant disciples.

Sitting on the bed, rubbing his stomach, he sighed, "This bland soup and water, can my body really withstand this kind of diet?"

Ever since Liou Yuan broke through the second abode, his appetite increased significantly, eating as much as three grown men every day.

These meals were barely sufficient for an average disciple.

For him, however, they were far from enough.

"Never mind, after Qi Cultivation Third Layer, the need for food decreases, what’s left is merely the craving, I won’t starve!"

Liou Yuan lamented for a moment, then reached into his chest, and took out a black cloth bag.

He gently pulled the rope tied around the mouth of the bag.

A black iron token and a baby fist-sized, bright white stone fell into Liou Yuan’s hand from the bag.

The black iron token is naturally the Identity Token for Five Extremes Mountain Outer Sect disciples.

The token’s back has a mountain design from Five Extremes Mountain.

The front is engraved with Liou Yuan’s name.

In the future, when he’s outside, this token represents his identity, but within Five Extremes Mountain, it isn’t much used.

At most, it’s used to register merit points.

As for that bright white stone.

Liou Yuan weighed it in his hand, it’s almost as heavy as five ounces of silver, warm to the touch.

Up close, one can sense the dense star energy contained within the stone.

This is the cultivation resource given to them by Five Extremes Mountain monthly.

"Star Stone." Liou Yuan named it as such.

This item contains a certain amount of star energy, which can be directly absorbed by cultivators.

When held during cultivation, the Star Acupoint can automatically extract the star energy within.

It’s used as an auxiliary for cultivation.

Liou Yuan heard Mr. Ge mention before, even a thousand ounces of Snowflake Silver is hard to exchange for this Star Stone.

Other cultivators only use this Star Stone for cultivation during Evil Star shifts when they cannot absorb star energy.

Yet Five Extremes Mountain directly gives it to disciples to aid their cultivation.

Additionally, one piece is given monthly.

Two pieces are given monthly for Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.

Three pieces are given monthly for Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.

Five pieces are given monthly for Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.

Until one year elapses, then the distribution stops.

Liou Yuan didn’t know how many disciples Five Extremes Mountain intended to recruit this time, but from Xie Miaobo’s viewpoint, it was surely no less than a thousand.

The monthly consumption is terrifyingly high, showing Five Extremes Mountain’s wealth and extravagance.

Normally, Liou Yuan wouldn’t want to use this precious Star Stone.

But now is a special period.

The higher the cultivation, the greater the reward, everyone is using it, so he certainly has to use it too.

"Anyway, it’s distributed monthly." Liou Yuan weighed the Star Stone in his hand, then suddenly his ear twitched, listening quietly to the sounds coming from the nearby hut.

The wilderness was now completely silent.

Any slight noise felt especially abrupt.

Whoo, whoo, whoo!

From the hut belonging to Xie Miaobo came a deep rumbling sound akin to snoring.

That was Xie Miaobo practicing the D-class Breathing Skill "Boat Sailing in Water."

Liou Yuan had given it a matching nickname, Water Buffalo Breathing Skill, because his breathing was like a buffalo’s.

Liou Yuan recalled the words Xie Miaobo said to him in the afternoon.

"Now it’s an Evil Star shift, the star energy within Five Extremes Mountain is merely the star energy forcibly intercepted from last month through the Array."

"These energies diminish with use, it’s best for us to start using the Star Stones to aid our cultivation tonight."

"Otherwise, by month’s end when the star energy has been depleted, it would greatly affect the progress of our cultivation breakthrough."

Xie Miaobo was right.

But Liou Yuan was an exception.

No matter if the celestial stars were auspicious or evil, with the Fixed Star Compass, he could freely cultivate.

Therefore, he wasn’t in such a hurry.

After safely storing the Star Stone, he walked over to the window.

Through the window, he gazed up at the Ji Su stars.

His eyes opened and closed, and his sharp eyes already contained a hint of purple.

This purple trace, as Liou Yuan stared at the Ji Su Evil Star, tended to get denser.

Soon his eyes were filled with purple, radiating an enchanting aura.

This was the Talent Evil Eyes he obtained from the Alien Star Evil.

When Liou Yuan first acquired the Evil Eyes, he didn’t experience such changes.

After he killed Di Xi, the Evil Eyes started acting strangely.

This was something Liou Yuan only noticed on his journey, once he stared at celestial stars for a long time, the Evil Eyes would automatically activate.

The energy would then flow out.

That energy, undoubtedly similar to the Alien Star Evil’s methods, was of an offensive nature. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

As for how much power he could exert, Liou Yuan didn’t know, as he hadn’t tried it.

Of course, Liou Yuan could also actively activate his Evil Eyes, requiring Spiritual Power.
