In a short while, the misty aura on the futon completely disappeared into Qin Xue's body.

A phoenix cry rang out, echoing throughout the cultivation room.

The immense spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly stopped, and then surged into Qin Xue's dantian. The sound of the phoenix's cry came from Qin Xue's martial spirit.

"Martial Spirit Advancement!"

Qin Xin was very familiar with this scene. His martial spirit had advanced twice, and now Qin Xue seemed to have gained something in this futon, which caused her martial spirit to advance.

"This little girl is quite lucky; she actually obtained this Phoenix Spirit Energy. Her future is limitless." Qian Qianyan said.

Danqing's melodious voice echoed in Qin Xin's heart.

"What is Phoenix Spirit Qi?" Qin Xin asked, puzzled.

"This Phoenix Spirit Energy originates from the ancient divine beast, the Phoenix. Legend has it that the Phoenix lives on Mount Danxue and possesses immortality, hence it is also known as the 'Phoenix of Immortality.'"

Martial artists in this world cultivate primarily through martial spirits. The types of martial spirits are incredibly diverse, but their essence still lies within this vast continent, bound by the laws of heaven. Under certain special circumstances, martial spirits can advance, like Qin Xue's, and may also undergo mutations, but all of these will make the martial artist even stronger.

Hearing what Danqing said, Qin Xin was also touched. He longed to see those ancient divine beasts with his own eyes, and even fantasized about taking them as his mounts. A smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Of course, Danqing sensed the change in Qin Xin's expression and guessed some of Qin Xin's thoughts. After a few words of criticism, she extinguished Qin Xin's unrealistic fantasy.

At this moment, Qin Xue, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, had absorbed all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around her.

"Clang clang." A sound like the twang of a flute rang out above Qin Xue's head.

The Fire Spirit Cloud Sparrow above Qin Xue's head excitedly flapped its wings. Originally, there were only four feathers on its head that shimmered with blue light, but now a fifth one had grown. Moreover, the feathers on its body that originally glowed red were now faintly shrouded in a layer of colorful light, and its tail had grown dazzling fiery red tail feathers. The shape was perfect, and flames rose from its claws.

As the advanced Fire Spirit Cloud Sparrow returned to her dantian, Qin Xue's beautiful eyes trembled slightly.

Suddenly opening her eyes, Qin Xue's face was full of joy. The advancement of her Martial Spirit had also allowed her to successfully enter the third level of the Innate Realm.

"Congratulations, junior sister, on your extraordinary encounter!"

Mao Ruijin was also delighted that Qin Xue had such a wonderful encounter and went up to celebrate. The two best friends were still discussing how Qin Xue's skin seemed to be even whiter and more delicate now.

Qin Xin couldn't help but glance at her. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the phoenix spirit energy, but Qin Xue's entire demeanor had changed drastically. With her long, beautiful legs accentuating her figure, she exuded an arrogant beauty that made people hesitant to approach her.

"I have some bad news," Qin Xue said, her joy fading as she frowned.

"It seems like something is being suppressed here."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xin suddenly thought of the human skeletons and the animal skeletons he had never seen before in the passage, and a chill ran through him.

"Did you learn that from that fortuitous encounter?" Mao Ruijin asked.

"Yes," Qin Xue replied calmly.

"In that case, we should leave quickly; there's nothing good left here."

Qin Xin thought for a moment and decided it would be best to leave first, as he felt somewhat uncomfortable in this palace.

The three exchanged a glance and prepared to leave the cultivation room. Qin Xin did not forget to put the futon into his Qiankun bag.

But this scene was witnessed by a young man. He stepped into the training room and saw the three people looking somewhat surprised. Then, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Qin Xin, hand over what you've put in your Qiankun bag." The voice came in a sinister tone.

This person was Qin Qianbei. After entering the palace gate, he encountered many mutated monsters. With a group of martial artists clearing the way, he finally stepped into the passage leading to the cultivation room. When he saw that Qin Xin and the other two had already arrived, he felt a little angry.

"Isn't it first come, first served when it comes to treasures?" Qin Xin naturally wouldn't hand over what he had already obtained; he wanted to take the futon back and study it carefully.

"In that case, you may all die here."

Qin Qianbei smiled mysteriously; he had no intention of letting Qin Xin and the others go.

True Qi erupted instantly, and a Crimson Water Scorpion figure formed behind Qin Qianbei. The atmosphere in the entire training room instantly turned cold. The pressure from the Martial Spirit made Qin Xin feel uneasy. This Crimson Water Scorpion was Qin Qianbei's Martial Spirit, a six-star Martial Spirit.

"I've long wanted to taste what human flesh with improved martial arts bones tastes like, and now I have two beauties by my side, hehe~hehe~."

Qin Qianbei stuck out his scarlet tongue and looked at Qin Xue and Mao Ruijin beside Qin Xin with a possessive look in his eyes.

"Do you intend to become an enemy of my Eastern Wilderness Academy?!"

Mao Ruijin took a step forward, the Fire-Mixed Silk Silk swaying behind her, emitting a whistling sound as her true energy rubbed against each other.

"If I die here, who outside will even know?"

Qin Qianbei's eyes narrowed, revealing murderous intent, and black energy swirled in his palm.

"Netherworld Palm!"

Qin Qianbei lightly stepped on the ground, and the blue bricks in the cultivation room instantly shattered. His hands, radiating black light, slammed directly towards Mao Ruijin, displaying the full strength of a ninth-level Innate Realm cultivator.

In Qin Qianbei's view, among the three people in front of him, the one who posed the greatest threat to him was Mao Ruijin, who was at the eighth level of the Innate Realm. If he could capture Mao Ruijin, then Qin Xin and the other two would be at his mercy.

"Fire Spirit Bind! Tear!"

Mao Ruijin gave a soft shout, and the Mixed Fire Silk swirled out, immediately wrapping around Qin Qianbei's hands that emitted black light. The clash between the two different spiritual energies produced a crackling sound as their true energy collided.

Qin Xue also stepped forward to help, and behind her, the Fire Spirit Cloud Sparrow flapped its wings, sending out several streams of fire feathers.

"Wings of Blazing Fire!"

Just as those streaks of fiery light were about to get close, Qin Qianbei's true energy surged, directly breaking free from the bindings of the Chaotic Fire Silk. With a single, light wave of his palm, he completely neutralized the martial arts technique displayed by Qin Xin, proving that the difference of six minor realms was simply insurmountable.

"Stop resisting! If you two kill Qin Xin, perhaps I'll consider treating you well and taking you as concubines." Qin Qianbei squinted at the two women, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, but was wiped back by his scarlet tongue.

"You pervert! Stop dreaming!"

Qin Xue scolded in a delicate voice, the flames on her body intensified, and she was about to enter a state of rage. Her face began to turn cold. Qin Xin had seen her like this before during the clan competition.

"Oh! I like this temper!" Qin Qianbei chuckled.

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's see who's the best, men!"

Mao Ruijin also had a fiery temper, and directly used the Fire-Mixed Silk to attack Qin Qianbei.

At this moment, anger rose in Qin Xin's heart; he didn't want to die here.

"Teacher, I'll be troubling you with this next step."

Qin Xin said this softly to himself, then closed his eyes and calmed his mind.

"What's wrong? Are you closing your eyes and waiting to die? Hahahaha..."

Qin Qianbei's arrogant words echoed throughout the training room!
