Chapter 129: checking the anamoly
"Am I hallucinating?" David couldn\'t stop himself from questioning his senses.
After all, how could there be anyone else inside his Spiritual Space? Such a thing had never happened before.
But he also couldn\'t afford to dismiss the feeling that he felt a moment ago. If he couldn\'t even trust his own feelings and perception, whom was he going to trust?
David\'s thoughts moved like electricity as he went through numerous possibilities in his head.
In the next moment, his body disappeared from the spiritual space.
His disappearance seemed to have no effect on the Spiritual Space as it was just like before, cold and devoid of all life.
However, at this time, a pair of reptilian eyes were staring at the spot where David\'s illusory body had been standing a moment ago.
"Hey! Are you even listening?" Mary said in a slightly annoyed voice.
David had suddenly stopped responding to her words and was looking at the air with a dazed look in his eyes.
"Ah! Sorry, I was just busy looking at my spiritual space," David said.
"By the way, Mary, can anyone else enter our Spiritual Space?"
The next moment, he asked her the question that was on his mind. Mary should definitely know something about the strange occurrence.
Feeling the seriousness in his voice, Mary fell silent and raised her beautiful eyebrows, signaling him to continue speaking.
Without hesitating, David explained everything to her at great length.
After hearing David\'s words, Mary spoke in a calm voice. "So it is like this."
"For now, your Spiritual Space is too fragile; it\'s impossible for anyone to enter inside."
"But it\'s not impossible either; somebody could sneak in their spiritual form."
At her explanation, David\'s face turned grave, and he turned to her again with a hopeful look in his eyes.
If she was aware of the problem, she might also have the solution.
Seeing David\'s puppy-like eyes, a beautiful smile that could even make the dead cultivators walk again appeared on Mary\'s face.
"Don\'t worry, we are in a high-level world. There would be many ways to examine the Spiritual Space for any presence," Mary patiently explained.
"Alright!" After hearing her words, he immediately sent his consciousness toward the half-closed eyes on his palm, and in a moment, he was in the dark space of Green Heaven Web again.
Without wasting any time, he typed in the query and searched.
In an instant, hundreds of items that satisfied his search result appeared in front of him.
The list seemed endless.
Not intending to waste even a single second, David filtered them based on the rates received.
And immediately, the long list disappeared, leaving only two or three items behind.
One technique and two pills.
David first took a look at the technique as it was a better alternative compared to one-time consumables such as pills.
[Nine Star Heaven Locking formation
Rating - 4.7
Price - 10 Million low-grade spirit stones
Sales - 100 million]
However, David immediately rejected it for now. It was helpful in stopping unknown entities from entering your spiritual space; it didn\'t provide any remedies for David\'s problem.
Swiftly, David moved on to the next item on the list.
[All Cleansing Foundation Pill
Rating - 4.8
Price - one million low spirit stones
Sales - 200 million]
David\'s eyes immediately flashed with joy once he read the pill\'s description.
The pill was guaranteed to help in identifying foreign presence.
Not daring to waste any more time, David immediately purchased one and settled the bill.
A moment later, a pill glowing with white light appeared in the dark space.
This was undoubtedly the All Cleansing Foundation Pill.
David immediately grabbed the pill with his palm and disappeared and appeared inside his Spiritual Space in the next moment.
Along with David, the pill also appeared.
Following the instructions, David threw the pill into the mana sea.
However, before the pill could even touch his mana sea, it started to expand like a balloon.
And barely in five minutes, the pill multiplied in size.
Becoming almost as big as an adult cow.
And before David could even react, it exploded, filling the entire spiritual space with white-colored smoke.
David, however, wasn\'t surprised as all of it was written in the description.
As long as the smoke color doesn\'t change, there should be no issue.
David patiently waited, and soon half an hour passed.
But the smoke remained completely white without any changes.
Signifying that there was no one inside David\'s spiritual space.
"Weird!" David muttered in a low voice while surrounded by the white smoke.
However, he decided to wait for some more time.
After one more hour, the white smoke completely disappeared, leaving no trace behind.
If the reviews and description of the pill were to be believed, there was nothing wrong with David\'s spiritual space.
Hesitating for a moment, David paid the spiritual stones to the bank, and a status report appeared in front of his eyes.

Everything was fine and dandy.
"Then where was the problem?" David pondered with a lost expression on his face.
However, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a notification.
[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.
Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow; therefore, his soul was captured. You now have the following options. Keep in mind that you can only choose one.
1 - Extract Client\'s Crystallization of Life (Autobiography, Grade - Uncommon)
2 - Extract Jack\'s memories from his birth till his death.
3 - Any item that client owned in his lifetime.
