Just when Sima You Yue was leading the people out to attack, Sima You Lin and the others had finished their closed door cultivation as well.
Sima You Lin was the first one to emerge. He had risen by three levels during these nine over months, to achieve the rank of fourth ranked spirit Saint.
Sima You Lan was around that level. She was still quite a distance and blocked from leaving fourth rank.
Sima You Yang had become a third ranked spirit saint.
The other Sima clansmen had also entered the ranks of spirit saint.
After they had fully absorbed all the spiritual qi in the cave, the few of them finally opened their eyes.
"I never thought that the spiritual qi here would be completely absorbed by us." Sima You Qing exclaimed.
"Not bad, everyone grew quite a bit stronger." Sima You Yang said with a smile.
"We've all entered the rank of spirit saint." Sima You Ming and the others were ecstatic as well. Their gains this round had been huge.
After asking the contracted beasts who were standing guard for them, they finally knew that they had actually been shut in here for over ten months.
"Over ten months." Sima You Lin's eyebrows raised slightly, "Never thought that we would actually take such a long time in closed door cultivation. Right now, there's only two more months left before we leave. We should look for You Yue and the others."
"Hey, there's a pile of bones over there." Sima You Qi called out.
Everyone looked over to where he was looking at. At the deepest part of the cave lay a white pile of bones, in whatever remained of the spirit qi lake. It was only because they had almost drained that lake dry that the pile of bones emerged.
"Could this be the one who had set up the array back then?" He asked with curiosity.
"This person must not have left the little world before it closed, for whatever reason, and finally died of old age here." Sima You Qing guessed.
"I don't think so." Sima You Ran said, "If he died of old age, he would not have created such a complex array so close by."
"The spiritual Qi seems to be coming here." Sima You Yang said.
Everyone immediately sensed their surroundings, and it was just as he said. The spiritual qi was gushing here.
"What could it be that's attracting the spiritual qi?" Sima You Qing was incredibly curious, "It couldn't be that the skeleton is the one attracting all the spiritual qi, right?"
"Rubbish! How could this be possible!" Sima You Yang rapped her lightly on her head.
"Looks like we've come across a treasure this time." Sima You Lin said as he walked over to the skeleton. He carefully lifted the already tattered strips of cloth, as a pearl the size of a fist appeared in front of everyone.
"What is this thing?" Sima You Ming asked what everyone was thinking.
"Not a clue. However, this has something to do with the spirit qi lake." Sima You Lin said.
"Looks like this pearl has some uses in attracting the spiritual qi. If we use this pearl to cultivate, our efforts in cultivating will definitely halve." Sima You Ran said.
"Hehe, once we get out of here and present this item to our clansmen to help in their cultivation, our clan will definitely outgrow the other clans." Sima You Yang said.
"Keep it away first. After we get out, we'll give it to Clan Leader." Sima You Lin said. "Right now, we'll go look for You Yue and the others."
"Okay."
