As Arjun was lost in his thoughts, he didn't forget his current objective. He came here to collect the Spirit Stone Mine. He devised the <<Heavenly Shrinking Void Technique>> and shrinked the size of the mine to a fist size. He collected it and went back to the place where Rick was collecting the Spirititual Vines.
As Arjun returned, Rick was already done with his collection. In fact, he was waiting for Arjun to come back. After returning as Arjun found Rick as he asked, "How was your collection?"
"It's gone well." , Rick replied.
Arjun asked, "How many Spiritual Vines have you found?"
Rick sighed. He then said, "Compared to the harvest we made in the Second Layer, it's pretty much low. In the second layer, we found 3500 Green Ranked Spiritual Vines. But in the Third Layer, I found only 320. The number is very low."
"The number might be low, but the quality is even rarer than the one we found in the second layer." , Arjun smiled as he said, "Don't forget. These are the Spiritual Vines that has a slight shade of laws! You should not expect anything much from it."
"That's right." , Rick smiled, "That's why, I didn't feel bad over the number. After all, the Laws are something that is completely out of our reach."
Arjun nodded his head. What Rick said was truly right. The concept of laws are not something that Arjun wanted to think about. After all, the qualifications to learn the Laws is to master all ten Grand Dao to supreme level. Arjun has only mastered the Dao of Fire. And that is also till the manifestation stage. He don't want to wreck his brains by thinking too much about the realms of Laws.
Arjun said, "I am planning to handover around 75% of today's harvest to Magmeel. Magmeel helped us a lot till now. And after learning from the Will of the Life Realm about the deeds Magmeel did for the Life Realm, I think this is the repayment we could do for him at least. What do you say?"
"Boss! Is there a need to ask?" , Rick smiled, "I would accept even if you say 90%. If you ask me, then I think that Lord Magmeel needs to reach the level that surpasses even his father. Only then, no one would try to mess around with him. We need to provide as much help for Lord Magmeel as possible."
"That's good to hear." , Arjun smiled.
"But I have a question." , Rick said.
"What is it?" , Arjun asked.
"You said that Lord Magmeel would be one of the ten candidates you have chosen for the cultivation system of Void." , Rick said, "If that's the case, then if you give it to Lord Magmeel, then Lord Magmeel has to start from the beginning. If that's the case, then all his current cultivation would go to waste. If that is the case, then isn't this indirectly mean that all the external support we provide would go to waste as well?"
"You are right." , Arjun said, "But Lord Magmeel is different. He is a damm supreme genius. And with the rich experience and knowledge he had in the world of cultivation, it won't be long before he catches up to us. As for Dao? It is the understanding of the essence of the nature of the ten natural elements. I think Magmeel already has it. There is no need for him to start from the scratch. And he don't even need any Spirit Stones. At least, not until he catches up to his current cultivation."
"But Lord Magmeel won't be receving the power anytime sooner." , Rick said, "After all, if he had to start from the beginning, then he will be weak. At that time, his brothers will take advantage of his situation and start a war. And Lord Magmeel knew that all his trustworthy allies would face the doom. If that's the case, then when exactly he will receive the power from you?"
"I don't know." , Arjun said, "It's all up to Magmeel. But as for his brothers, I think we need to take some responsibilities and step forward. But we don't have strength to fight against them. It all depends on we six. And with the addition of Ben and other five Dragon Slayers like us, I think its fair to say that, we have a big chance. But we need strength to stand against us."
Arjun continued, " The plan is a little tricky. We need to get strong as quickly as possible. Then we need to help Magmeel in the war. At that time, if it is possible then I will give the power of Void to Magmeel. Until he reaches his former power, we will deal with the War by ourself. When he joins us, he will regain his former cultivation base. Or maybe even higher."
"I understand." , Rick replied. He didn't have as much knowledge in Dao as Arjun did. But listening that the Dao is the understanding the essence of the ten natural elements, he felt as if some questions regarding Dao in his heart is now being solved. If he gets an opportunity, then he might reach the Manifestation Stage in the Dao of Wind.
Manifestation Stage!
For some unknown reasons, Rick was struck one step away from reaching the Manifestation Stage of the Dao of Wind. He didn't know where exactly he has gone wrong in his understanding. He tried his best. But he couldn't reach that level. But the small explaination from Arjun has opened a door in his mind.
Rick said, "Boss! I think I have suddenly realised where exactly I am going wrong in the Dao. Could we wait here alittle longer? I want to take this opportunity and master my Dao of Wind to the Manifestation Stage."
"Good." , Arjun was naturally happy as he said, "That's good to hear. Let's master a Dao then. This place is excellent for cultivation. And I want to take the advantage to make my breakthrough. As I told you that, I need to master a Dao to reach Level 12 from Level 10. I will try to master a Dao and I will try to make my breakthrough. Who knows? Maybe I will really reach Level 10!"
"Excellent!" , Rick was anturally delighted to hear Arjun. He sat cross legged and closed his eyes as he was immersed in his conscience. This time he will definitely master the Dao of Wind which he couldn't master.
As for Arjun, he took out a Green Ranked Spiritual Vine which he stored previously. He placed it on the ground. To master the Dao more effectively, he decided to depend on the Spiritual Vine. After placing the Spiritual Vine, the Spiritual Energy in the surrounding increased tenfolds. And their comprehension ability in the Dao has increased even higher.
