Mingyue sat quietly for a moment.
"I know, Vesa. I will strengthen my foundation," she said.
"But I will need many mana crystals for it. I doubt I can use Qi to strengthen my internal organs.
I will need to find something to exchange for them. Hmm, maybe I could catch some more spirit beasts for him."
She sighed. She knew this problem could wait.
For now, she needed to recover and set up the anchor for the secret realm.
She looked at the sphere floating in the air.
"Vesa, let's start," Mingyue said.
Information flowed into her mind.
Her qi moved on its own toward the sphere and wrapped around it, adjusting the shape and pattern based on Vesa's instructions.
The lines on the surface of the sphere lit up. The air around it started to tremble.
A loud boom followed.
Qi exploded from the sphere and rushed through the entire qi mine, filling it with bright light.
When the light faded, a shimmering portal to the secret realm hung in the air.
