CHAPTER 260: CHAPTER 260: SPIRITUAL SILK CLEANSING

Ji You was the first to ask a question, her eyes brightened immediately, she asked, "Aunt Zhang, you just mentioned that we should sort out our spiritual power, how should we sort it out?"

Yue Qiguang said, "But I’m so tired right now, I don’t have the energy to sort anything. A whole day of high-intensity training, a day of high-intensity competition, I don’t feel as exhausted as this time delivering piglets."

After Yue Qiguang finished speaking, the others also seemed like they had questions, but seeing that Aunt Zhang wanted to speak, they all stopped and listened attentively.

Aunt Zhang, a long-term staff member at Taoyuan Space Station and also a warrior, albeit a weaker one, whose expertise is in animal and plant breeding and usually handles the logistics work at the Space Station.

Aunt Zhang said, "Do you know? 10 years ago, Taoyuan Space Station didn’t have a Cultivation Center for animals and plants. All the greenery and active animals you see now didn’t exist back then. But nine years ago, the higher-ups proposed that all front-line space stations and bases should have a Cultivation Center. The reason for this is firstly to provide fresh food for the bases. Second, it’s to help warriors relieve stress. Third, many experiments have proven that interacting with animals and plants can regulate moods, soothe the spirit, and help sort out Spiritual Silk."

Hearing this, Ji You and the others widened their eyes.

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Of course, the effects of soothing the spirit and sorting Spiritual Silk, as I just mentioned, vary from person to person. Some people see obvious effects, others not so much, and some people don’t find it effective at all. You can try it when you go back, but don’t hold too much hope. Anyway, I am very grateful that you children could come and help take care of these animals and plants when I’m too busy."

Everyone felt a bit embarrassed after hearing this.

Blushing, Ji You said, "Aunt Zhang, this is something we can manage, please don’t praise us."

Chu Jiaojiao followed and said, "Right, right... we didn’t really help much."

Yue Qiguang mumbled, "It’s just assistance with deliveries; it’s a piece of cake."

Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan remained silent.

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Alright, you all go and rest now."

Everyone quickly took their leave.

As soon as the students left, Aunt Zhang immediately called Mu Jianling, the teacher, and said with a laugh, "Jianling, your students are very interesting."

Mu Jianling had already watched everything through the surveillance and, with a stern face, said, "Don’t fool my students. They might be naive and simple, but they’re not fools who will believe whatever you say."

Aunt Zhang laughed, "Come on, what do you mean by fooling? What I said is based on facts. At our Agricultural College, indeed, there are cases where the technology staff who have been researching animals and plants for years have greatly improved their Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate!"

Mu Jianling scoffed, "Oh! How many of them?"

Aunt Zhang’s mouth twitched, and she said, "But their Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate really is faster than the average person’s, even not slower than the warriors who have been constantly fighting on the frontline, or Mechanical Manufacturing Masters deeply engaged in mecha manufacturing technology. This is a fact. If we can allow the children to face less or even no warfare, effectively improving their Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate, why should we refuse? Why not treat it as an auxiliary method?"

Mu Jianling only scoffed, without a word.

Aunt Zhang clearly knew she couldn’t persuade Mu Jianling and said, "By the way, these students of yours, I see they have great potential for developing towards agriculture. After this special training ends, how about letting them all go to our Agricultural College for further studies? Having one more skill isn’t a bad thing."

Mu Jianling flatly refused, "Impossible."

Aunt Zhang and Mu Jianling are actually peers and acquaintances. Aunt Zhang was previously a mentor at Lanyue Star Agricultural College before volunteering to come to Taoyuan Space Station to help construct an effective ecological recycling system because the station needed people. She has rooted herself here for nine years now.

Aunt Zhang said, "I will discuss this matter with the old principal and seek his opinion."

Mu Jianling frowned and said, "Sorry, I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense. Goodbye."

Click—

The connection was cut off.

Aunt Zhang looked at the hanging-up screen, shaking her head: "Still so hot-tempered."

Ji You and the others did not know that after they left, the amiable-looking Aunt Zhang had another conversation with Teacher Mu Jianling; they also didn’t know that what Aunt Zhang had just said seemed to have a great element of bluffing.

Once everyone returned to the temporary dormitory area, they all calmed down and began to carefully comb through their own Spiritual Silks.

Ji You glanced at Chu Jiaojiao, then at Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Shen Changqing, noticing that their expressions were all very serious, as if they were suffering from constipation for many years, not relaxed at all.

Ji You: "???"

As someone who only has 6 Spiritual Silks and a mutation waste with a 100% Cleaning Rate of Spiritual Silks, she had no messy Spiritual Silks to clean at all, thus, she completely couldn’t understand the troubles of her few friends.

So, what exactly does cleaning Spiritual Silks entails?

Those messy, tangled up Spiritual Silks, what are they really like?

...

Ji You had countless questions, but unfortunately, she could not see other people’s Spiritual World, nor could she know how others do it.

Currently, Ji You, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan, the six of them, were staying in the same dormitory, each having their own rooms; however, the dormitory had a common large living room, which was very spacious. Sheng Qingyan had received some mission and had not yet returned, so the five of them, including Ji You, stayed in the living room, each in their spot, all with their eyes closed, not saying a word.

Ji You knew the difficulty of cleaning Spiritual Silks, therefore, she refrained from disturbing them and sat aside, silently observing.

At this moment, Yue Qiguang suddenly opened his eyes, joy uncontrollably evident in his gaze. He was about to shout out loud, but noticing that everyone else was silently combing through, he pursed his lips and then timely maintained his silence.

Ji You approached Yue Qiguang a bit, about 2 meters away, she slightly used her spiritual power to probe and found that Yue Qiguang’s spiritual power activity had increased compared to before, which indicated that he definitely had made some progress.

Ji You was about to ask him questions when she suddenly noticed that Chu Jiaojiao’s spiritual activity also abruptly rose. Ji You cautiously moved closer and silently felt it, discovering that Chu Jiaojiao was the same.

Chu Jiaojiao quickly opened her eyes, a smile appearing in her eyes...

Does that mean both of their Spiritual Silks had been cleaned up somewhat?

Very perceptive, Chu Jiaojiao closed her mouth, not expressing her joy.

Next were Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan.
