Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

The little ghost beast squeaked and struggled desperately. If it could speak human language, it would have cried out, "Miss Ruler of Hell, please save me!" The Earth Goddess, who was preparing a meal, watched in astonishment. "Is this a joke? What's happening? Has Little Ruler of Hell actually learned to attack others with her spirit consciousness?!" Although it wasn't a real attack, being able to lift up the little ghost beast was still a form of attack.

The Earth Goddess muttered, "It's fake. It's all rumors. Get a hold of yourself..." However, she could guarantee that besides Lilly and the ghost beasts she had captured, there was no one else in her cave. All the ghost beasts were enclosed and couldn't break free from the Red Bracelet's confines. She hadn't touched the little ghost beast, and Lilly, who was in a state of enlightenment, hadn't moved either. So, besides her spirit consciousness, what else could it be? "No, | have to act quickly too." She felt a sense of urgency, sensing the danger of being surpassed at her age by a little girl.

Immediately, she raised her hand and stuffed one ghost beast after another into her mouth. "Spirit energy—I need spirit energy. | need to cultivate to get back to the top. | want to become powerful. Ah..." The little ghost beast was already scared to the point of almost fainting for the second time, and now it saw the Earth Goddess devouring the ghost beasts with a ferocious appetite. She swallowed the ghost beasts one after another without even spitting out their bones. "Sob... Could a little creature like me watch such an act of bloody violence?" Before the little ghost beast could recover from this "bloody violence," something unexpected happened.

Besides the Earth Goddess, there seemed to be an invisible entity next to her who was also devouring the ghost beasts...

The Earth Goddess was alarmed. "Didn't we agree that she'd hunt for me? Why is she stealing my food instead?" The little ghost beast was scared out of its wits. "Aaaaaah! There's a ghost!" Its eyes rolled back, but it wanted to faint but couldn't, so it punched itself.

Lilly was immersed in enlightenment. The moment she was able to lift the little ghost beast with her spirit consciousness, she finally understood. "So, this is how to attack with spirit consciousness!" In that instant, however, she also felt an unprecedented hunger. She had only saved a little bit of spirit energy after running the great circulatory cycles several times, and now it was instantly depleted.

She finally realized why her spirit energy was consumed so quickly when she was outside a few days ago. It turned out that mental power—or rather, spirit consciousness—also consumed spirit energy, and it was consumed even faster during a fight! She already needed a lot of spirit energy to use one of her supernatural powers, and now, there was her spirit consciousness, a big eater of spirit energy... Although it was brilliant, it could also be exhausting. She could instantly drain ten ghost cultivators to make up for the spirit energy consumed by both of her supernatural powers! She felt pitiful, realizing that she was still too weak. Despite having supernatural powers and spirit consciousness, her spirit energy couldn't keep up with them. To be precise, it was because the accumulation of her purple elixir field and her purple golden substance didn't have enough storing power...

She was too much of a rookie, and her purple golden substance was so weak. She needed an upgrade! If her purple golden substance could speak, it would have said, "So?" After realizing her shortcomings, Lilly was quickly overwhelmed with hunger. She had to replenish her spirit energy immediately, as even a second's delay would starve her to death! Even with her eyes closed during enlightenment, she instinctively sensed where there was spirit energy. She felt that there was a gathering of it nearby...

What she didn't know was that it was the compressed biscuits she had brought back.

Feeling famished, she subconsciously started eating them, taking one bite after another.

After being stunned for a moment, the Earth Goddess quickly rushed to grab some food. "She promised to give it to me, right? She promised to give it to me!" She used her grief and indignation as a source of strength and ate voraciously.

With that, they finished the biggest piece of compressed biscuits as fast as they could.

"Burp!" The Earth Goddess couldn't help but belch for eating too quickly.

Lilly, still with her eyes closed, felt much better. At least she no longer had the feeling of starving to death if she didn't eat for a second. However, she was still hungry, and if she wanted to continue expanding her spirit consciousness, she needed even more spirit energy...

Suddenly, Lilly recalled something. "Wait a minute! | have Azurite gemstones in my ring, and | have many of them!" She thought about that pile of Azurite gemstones... "But these were all money!" However, the enlightenment of her spirit consciousness seemed to be a hundred times more difficult than all his previous enlightenments. If she didn't seize this opportunity, what if she wouldn't have another chance in the future? She gritted her teeth and finally made a bold decision. She began absorbing spirit energy from the Azurite gemstones in her ring.

What no one saw was that the Azurite gemstones piled up in the ring were reduced to powder at an astonishing speed...

The spirit energy was completely absorbed, and the Azurite gemstones turned into a useless pile of powder.

Lilly still thought that it wasn't enough. She became anxious, unsure if it was because her spirit consciousness had just been developed or for other reasons. Cultivation suddenly became a bottomless pit.

She couldn't sense the spirit energy of the Azurite gemstones anymore. Curiosity flashed through her mind, but it was quickly overcome by the instinct to absorb spirit energy. She continued to absorb spirit energy from the Neon gemstones...

In less than two minutes, the Neon gemstones also turned into a pile of powder. However, perhaps due to their higher purity compared to that of the Azurite gemstones, there was only a tiny bit of powder left in their place.

Lilly felt that she had just unlocked her purple golden substance, but it was still not enough. Exasperated, she cursed inwardly, "What a spendthrift! What kind of rich people could afford to spend money like that?" She felt extremely heartbroken and pained.

"My money!" Anxious about her wealth, she subconsciously explored the ring with her spirit consciousness and saw the scene inside very clearly. Inadvertently, she discovered the new use of her spirit consciousness, but she didn't notice it. What she noticed was...

Her Azurite gemstones had disappeared, and so had his Neon gemstones. Now, only the immortality stones she had unearthed from the cave in Mount Cape remained...

Lilly's heart was filled with sorrow. She clenched her teeth and transformed her spiritual awareness into a small hand, carefully selecting the immortality stones. "This immortality stone has a hole in it. Let's use it first," she thought. "These immortality stones were dug from the ground and still have dirt on them... Let's use them first." She swiftly sorted through the immortality stones using her spiritual awareness. In less than half a minute, she gathered a small pile of flawed and impure immortality stones.

To be honest, she had more immortality stones than Azurite gemstones in her ring, but even after dividing this small pile of immortality stones, Lilly still felt as though it was draining her life force. She made up her mind and quickly absorbed the spiritual energy from the immortality stones, afraid that she would regret it later.

The immortality stones truly lived up to their name. As soon as she absorbed their energy, it transformed into spirit energy, surging and flowing through her meridians.

Finally, her dormant golden purple substance began to flow. It was no longer just a mere decoration.

As the purple golden substance flowed, Lilly suddenly felt a lightness in her mind. Her consciousness had never been so clear, and her understanding of The Order became incredibly profound as well. It was like solving a math problem; after feeling dizzy and overwhelmed at first, she suddenly consumed a bottle of divine medicine and instantly solved the problem.

"And they have this function, too?!" She once again marveled at the immortality stones. "It's truly remarkable..." However, when she saw the pile of immortality stones vanish into nothingness, leaving only a bit of dirt behind, her heart ached so much that she struggled to breathe. What comforted her was that as her mind relaxed, her spiritual awareness suddenly expanded to a range of 50 meters, as if propelled by a rocket! Because of this powerful spiritual awareness, Lilly suddenly exclaimed. She felt that something seemed to be flying towards her...
