Inside the outer courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy at this moment.

Inside a bustling courtyard of the Weaponry Academy.

The old man, dressed in magnificent robes, was now filled with rage. Behind him, a long sword emitting deep red flames hummed. The disciples sitting below looked at each other, their faces filled with fear.

"Jing Lei is dead!" With a light tap, the old man shattered the table in front of him with immense Yuan energy.

The disciples below quickly knelt down. These disciples all wore the Sword Clan's badge on their chests. The old man was none other than Lin Jinglei's master, Jia Yan. He had previously tried to kill Qin Xin, but fortunately, with Rong Ling's help, Qin Xin was able to escape danger.

At the instant Lin Jinglei died, Jia Yan seemed to sense it as well, and thus let out this roar.

After venting their anger, the disciples who were kneeling below were all sent flying and fell to the ground.

The deans of the Beast Martial Academy and the Earth Martial Academy also noticed the changes in the Weapon Martial Academy and rushed over, fearing that Jia Yan's rage might cause the deaths of some disciples.

As the main leaders of the outer academy of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, the three of them would naturally be held responsible if any of their disciples died in the outer academy. They would be severely punished by the inner academy because they all had family backgrounds behind them. They would not lose their lives, but they could not bear the consequences of having their families removed from cooperation with the Eastern Wilderness Academy.

After sensing the presence of the other two deans, Jia Yan calmed down a bit.

"Investigate! Whoever killed Jing Lei, I will make them pay with their life!" Jia Yan's shout echoed throughout the entire Weapon Martial Academy, startling some disciples who were cultivating.

"Dean, a message has come from the inner courtyard."

A disciple with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and a pale face lay prostrate on the ground, seemingly injured by Jia Yan's rage, and spoke in a trembling voice.

Upon hearing this, Jia Yan raised an angry brow slightly, "What news!"

The disciple walked over tremblingly, handed a letter to Jia Yan, and then hurriedly retreated, kneeling on the ground.

"Lei Ge?" Upon seeing the seal on the envelope, Jia Yan murmured softly before taking out the letter inside.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Jia Yan's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he said, "Qin Xin!"

"Now I finally understand why the people from Zhongzhou are so determined to kill Qin Xin."

Upon reading the contents of the letter, Jia Yan's brows relaxed slightly. "They actually offended the Great Xia Dynasty! They're really courting death!"

"This time, even with Rong Ling present, I will still kill you."

Jia Yan's eyes revealed a fierce look, and then the entire outer courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

~~~~~~

Kunmen Main Peak.

Inside the cave at the foot of the mountain, the sun had already broken through the clouds, and the morning light bathed the earth.

Feeling the sunlight falling on his face, Qin Xin slowly opened his brown eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

After a night of cultivation, Qin Xin felt refreshed and invigorated.

This feeling was something I had never experienced before. It seemed to be because after entering the Qi Sea Realm, my meridians and acupoints merged, and the true qi in my body was activated to strengthen my flesh and blood.

After a night of cultivation, Qin Xin, who had already entered the first level of the Qi Sea Realm, had also stabilized his cultivation. Now, within his entire martial core, there was a Qi Sea Eye slowly circulating, stirring the surrounding true liquid as it circulated. With each rotation, the surrounding true energy would turn into drops of liquid and fall down, gathering into a pool of clear water.

Currently, the Qi Sea Eye within Qin Xinwu's Martial Pill is only one zhang in size. The blue and red Qi within it is mixed with wisps of purple, which cannot be detected unless one is very observant.

After entering the Qi Sea Realm, the size of the Qi Sea Eye also determines the martial artist's cultivation level. Every time the Qi Sea Eye increases by one zhang, one can enter the first level of the Qi Sea Realm. Only when the Qi Sea Eye becomes large enough to break through the Martial Core, condense the Yuan Power Seed, and construct the Yuan Mansion can one enter the Yuan Mansion Realm. At this time, the true qi in the martial artist's body will be completely transformed into Yuan Power.

Many martial artists regard the Yuanfu Realm as a dividing line in martial arts cultivation. Only by stepping into the Yuanfu Realm can a martial artist truly embark on the path of martial arts cultivation.

After a quick wash and brushing my teeth.

Looking at his somewhat resolute face in the bronze mirror, Qin Xin smiled slightly and changed into a clean black robe.

Upon entering the pavilion, Qin Xin overheard Ya Ru saying that she had taken Long Mu away early that morning.

Qin Xin was also somewhat troubled, but Huo Sheng entrusted the dragon wood to him, so he must know his character.

Qin Xin had no choice but to go with them.

As for comforting the two, Qin Xin wasn't too worried. After all, Long Mu had Huo Sheng behind him, and no one else in the inner courtyard would dare to provoke him. Huo Sheng was a seventh-grade alchemist, and Ya Ru was constantly being urged to cultivate by the Grand Elder Chong He. If they were together, they would surely turn the inner courtyard upside down.

After handing over some refined pills to Qin Xue, Qin Xin heard that Qin Xue wanted to recruit some alchemists to join the Kun Sect's main peak and would give them generous spiritual energy as a reward, so he naturally agreed.

Although the Kunmen Pill Shop is being suppressed by the so-called Pill Sect, it still attracts many disciples due to its low prices and cost-effectiveness. The demand for pills is increasing, and Qin Xin alone cannot produce so many pills.

Of course, because of the immense power of the Dan Sect, some alchemists would not choose to join the Kun Sect's main peak. Qin Xin naturally had Qin Xue spread the word that all alchemists who joined the Kun Sect's main peak would receive personal instruction from Qin Xin.

With the status of a guest elder of the Pill Tower in Dading City, and having passed the intermediate level of fourth-grade alchemist, he would naturally attract the attention of some alchemists with lower strength.

This is mainly due to their status and position. Ordinary third-grade alchemists are already very arrogant, and it is not easy to even meet one in the inner courtyard, let alone fourth-grade alchemists, who are extremely rare even in the entire alchemy sect.

After leaving the cave, Qin Xin strode towards Kunmen Square.

On one hand, Qin Xin wanted to enter the spiritual realm. He had sensed the aura of some strange fire here before, and Dan Qing had always suspected that this strange fire was suppressed under the inner courtyard. He also wanted to take this opportunity to find some information about this strange fire.

Secondly, Qin Xin also wanted to thank the Eighth Elder. He hadn't seen him on his previous visits to the Spirit Realm Pavilion, so he came this time hoping to bump into him.

As soon as Qin Xin stepped into the Spirit Realm Pavilion, he saw a familiar old man.

"You've come to see me, haven't you?" An aged voice suddenly reached Qin Xin's ears.

Before Qin Xin could answer, the Eighth Elder's aged voice came again, "Come here."
