## Chapter 152: Settling in at the Warehouse
The outskirts of Tower Enshrouded Town were dotted with numerous independent warehouses.
They were specifically prepared for guests arriving with large quantities of goods and caravans.
Captain Zhao led the two here so they could store the heavy luggage they were carrying.
Inside Warehouse Number Three.
"Esteemed sirs, this space is ample enough to store your luggage. Once you've settled in, I can continue to guide you to the hotels inside."
Captain Zhao was diligently serving the two, and Quanyi was deeply aware of it, though he didn't comment.
"No need, thank you, Captain Zhao. I noticed there's a lounge inside for resting. We plan to stay here directly. We won't trouble you any further."
Quanyi had discovered that the warehouse had a massive interior space, and there was a spacious area in front of the warehouse, perfect for him to move around and train.
He was here to cultivate, and staying in a hotel would only restrict his training.
"This, alright. Then please, esteemed sirs, make yourselves comfortable. I won't disturb you any further."
Captain Zhao hesitated for a moment, then turned and headed towards the door.
"Wait."
Quanyi suddenly called out to Captain Zhao.
Captain Zhao immediately turned around and asked, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"You forgot to collect the fee. How much does it cost to rent this place for a year?" Quanyi asked, somewhat speechlessly.
Captain Zhao gave an awkward smile, then said nervously,
"Oh, oh, oh, look at my memory. It costs ten Gold Soul Coins per month, so a year would be one hundred and twenty Gold Soul Coins."
Quanyi turned and took out a bag of Gold Soul Coins from his Blazing Sun Gauntlets, handing it to Captain Zhao.
"There are two hundred Gold Soul Coins in here. I'll reserve it for a year in advance, and the rest is your reward. You can keep it for yourself."
Seeing Quanyi say this, Captain Zhao immediately took the money bag, but a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
Then, he turned and quickly left.
"Xiao Yi, you did well just now. For people like that, it's best to just send them away with money. Remember not to engage in too much conversation."
Quan Li spoke, praising Quanyi's actions after he left.
Quanyi and Quan Li had observed Captain Zhao's various behaviors from afar.
There was no need to waste energy dealing with someone like Captain Zhao, who was a bit obsequious to his superiors and bullying to his subordinates, and who was derelict in his duties.
In that sense, Quanyi's handling of the situation was very much to Quan Li's liking.
Quan Li nodded with satisfaction, then said to Quanyi, "Alright, it seems I can leave with peace of mind. Remember to send letters every month, and if you encounter a strong enemy, be sure to turn around and run immediately."
Quan Li didn't plan to stay here. At his pace, he could be home in an hour or two.
Although he was a little reluctant, Quanyi didn't try to keep him. "Don't worry, I'll remember."
Quan Li was decisive. After putting down his luggage, he disappeared from Quanyi's sight.
Now alone, Quanyi put the smoked meat into the dry storage room.
Then, Quanyi began to survey his future residence.
The interior of the warehouse was very large and had some wooden plank beds.
There was even a space for washing up.
This was a space prepared for the servants and subordinates accompanying the caravans.
That night, after a simple wash, Quanyi rested for the night.
The next morning.
Quanyi began his training in the spacious area outside the warehouse.
This journey to obtain his fourth Soul Ring had been incredibly rewarding.
The Twenty Thousand Year Soul Ring and Twenty Thousand Year Soul Bone had brought tremendous changes to Quanyi.
But Quanyi couldn't bask in the joy of his gains; he had to adapt to his body's changes as quickly as possible.
Quanyi took out the Weighted Equipment he carried with him.
The original two thousand kilograms of weight, he couldn't even put on now.
Moreover, that amount of weight was completely insignificant to Quanyi now.
"I wonder if there are any blacksmiths here who can forge Iron Essence armor; otherwise, the training efficiency will be too low."
His body's immense strength put Quanyi in a state of blissful distress.
In the morning, after an hour of full-speed running, Quanyi ran at Soul Saint level speed on the spacious ground in front of the warehouse. The wind caused by his running blew the leaves off the trees.
Even the sturdy wooden warehouse was swaying in the strong wind.
Reluctantly, Quanyi stopped his morning workout.
"The commotion is too great; I must prepare Weighted Equipment that suits me as soon as possible."
The stronger his strength became, the higher the requirements for his training grounds, which is why many strong individuals choose to stay away from crowds and hide in the wild.
After finishing his morning training, Quanyi ate smoked Twenty Thousand Year Soul Beast Meat for breakfast.
After eating to seventy percent fullness, Quanyi immediately circulated his Soul Power to quickly digest and absorb, repeating the process.
Dozens of kilograms of Soul Beast Meat were eaten clean by Quanyi.
This was because Quanyi's body consumed relatively little. If Quanyi were to eat after completing extreme training, he could definitely eat several times that amount.
After breakfast, Quanyi went inside the warehouse.
He began his other training.
The mental cultivation method.
Which was the training of transforming strength into softness.
Quanyi stretched out his palm, and Soul Power gathered in his palm.
A dark red, hard film evenly covered his palm.
Ping!
He flicked it with his finger, and a hard metallic sound rang out.
At level forty-nine, Quanyi's 'hardness' far surpassed what it was before the breakthrough in all aspects, such as cohesion and the amount of Soul Power contained per unit.
In terms of hardness, it far exceeded Refined Iron and was about to reach the hardness of Iron Essence.
Originally, the most Spirit Power-consuming part was from the beginning to the moment of completion. After completion, the consumption of Spirit Power would drop significantly.
The stability of the Soul Power structure.
That was the secret of 'hardness'.
Now, what Quanyi had to do was abandon stability and return the Soul Power to an active state.
Quanyi's Spirit Power gradually relaxed from a state of exertion.
The smooth film began to vibrate violently. The solid structure, at the moment of dissolution, caused the stable Soul Power to rapidly detach from his palm.
The whole process was exceptionally swift.
By the time Quanyi quickly stopped the power drain, most of the Soul Power had rapidly dissipated.
The other half of the Soul Power that was barely left successfully transformed into a liquid state.
Quanyi's mind was now highly focused, all consciousness merged into one, and only then could he barely achieve this level.
The problem now was that Quanyi couldn't completely retain all of his Soul Power during the transformation. Another problem was that the remaining half was not enough to maintain the required half-hour.
An hour later.
Maintaining a tense state for a long time consumed too much Spirit Power.
He couldn't even wait for the Soul Power to dissipate on its own before it dissolved on its own due to a shortage of Spirit Power.
"Ugh~."
Quanyi painfully pressed his forehead, letting out a soft groan.
The state of having his mental power completely exhausted caused Quanyi to experience a splitting headache.
This was Quanyi's current limit.
Quanyi took out the wine gourd filled with Green Bamboo Brew from the Blazing Sun Heart.
He took a small sip.
The feeling of the scorching liquid entering his body was still something Quanyi couldn't get used to, but a cool sensation surged into his mind.
It alleviated Quanyi's splitting headache.
Although Quanyi's body had developed a certain resistance to Green Bamboo Brew, preventing it from rapidly amplifying his mental power.
It had a miraculous effect on restoring his mental power.
The consumption and restoration of mental power alternated at an astonishing rate under the effect of the Green Bamboo Brew.
At the same time, Quanyi's mental power also made considerable progress in the process.
