Outside the Spirit Forging Tower, Qin Xin and his group of six were waiting for the tower gate to open.

The moment the gates of the Spirit Forging Tower opened, a surging crowd rushed in, and the six of them stumbled and staggered in the crush.

Because the Spirit Forging Tower is of great help to martial artists' cultivation, it is always packed every day, and occasionally many students from the inner academy come to cultivate.

After entering the Spirit Forging Tower, Jin Yuanbao and Qin Xin separated to cultivate. They glanced at the four people who had closed their eyes to resist the spiritual energy tide. Before entering the Spirit Forging Tower, Qin Xin and Jin Yuanbao had told them about the situation they would encounter when entering the tower for the first time, and also taught them how to resolve the spiritual energy tide and control the circulation of true qi. Therefore, although they faced constant impacts from the spiritual energy tide, they were able to cope with it calmly.

After waiting for five minutes, without the help of the elders, Shangguan Lingdie and the others woke up one after another, excitedly sensing the changes in their bodies.

"If I cultivate in this Spirit Forging Tower for a year, I think I can reach the Enlightenment Realm!"

Shangguan Lingdie said excitedly.

"That being said, staying there for too long can harm your health."

Jin Yuanbao walked to Shangguan Lingdie's side and reminded her.

Qin Xin turned his face away as he watched the subtle movements between the two. The other four smiled strangely, clearly used to such scenes.

"You all go find the cultivation rooms to cultivate, I'll go to the third floor."

Qin Xin waved goodbye to the group and headed to the next floor.

~~~~~~

Inside a relatively small cultivation room on the third floor of the Spirit Forging Tower, Qin Xin sat cross-legged on a Heavenly Phoenix Futon, his mind and body completely calmed, feeling the constant impact of the spiritual energy tides within his body.

Because of the previous incident, there was no one in Zhan Qingqi's cultivation room, but Qin Xin still chose to change to another one. Qin Xin understood the principle that women should not be provoked.

As wave after wave of spiritual energy surged in, Wu Ling appeared somewhat exhausted during the rapid depletion of his true energy. His meridians and bones also felt slightly swollen and painful. Qin Xin understood that this phenomenon was because his meridians, bones, muscles, and even cells were slowly evolving under the impact of this spiritual energy tide.

After taking a Qi-restoring pill, Qin Xin continued to grit his teeth and endure the onslaught of spiritual energy until he felt a sharp pain in his meridians and bones. However, this also made him realize that this method of cultivation had accelerated his body's evolution.

After refining a surge of spiritual energy, Qin Xin controlled it to circulate through his meridians and eventually flow into his martial core. The martial core's true energy, both blue and red, surged, and its light increased slightly. With each repetition, the true energy within the martial core became even purer.

However, after a long period of cultivation, Qin Xin felt restless and unable to concentrate. This caused the true energy in his martial core to become somewhat chaotic as his martial spirit circulated.

Without hesitation, Qin Xin swallowed a Heart Nourishing Pill. As the medicine took effect, a cool sensation swept over his entire body. He felt as if his mind and spirit were being cleansed, and the side effects of the spiritual energy tide also dissipated in an instant.

"If this is the true form of the Holy Soul Water, then its benefits to cultivation are... well, you know..."

Qin Xin thought to himself.

From Danqing's words, Qin Xin learned that the Sacred Soul Water in the Spirit Forging Tower was not its original form, but only a part of it. The entire Spirit Forging Tower was like an array, which contained all the energy emitted by the Sacred Soul Water and channeled it into all the cultivation rooms through the array. Therefore, the closer one got to the bottom, the better the effect of the spiritual energy tide.

By casting aside all distracting thoughts, Qin Xin continuously transformed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into a tide of spiritual power. He then controlled his martial spirit to refine the incoming tide of spiritual power, which flowed through his meridians and bones before finally entering his martial core, forming a perfect cycle.

In just a few days, the true energy in Qin Xin's body became more abundant and pure, and his aura also became stronger. The fifth main meridian also reached a critical point. If Qin Xin had not been suppressing the true energy in his body, the fifth main meridian would probably have been broken open long ago. Qin Xin's purpose in doing this was mainly to accumulate more true energy, so that the broken main meridian would be stronger and have a higher capacity for true energy.

"It's time!"

Sensing that he could no longer suppress his true energy, Qin Xin's eyes flickered slightly, and his true energy suddenly surged around him, quickly receding into his martial core.

"open!"

Qin Xin gave a soft shout, and his powerful true energy surged directly into the fifth main meridian.

"Screech!"

Pain swept through his entire body in an instant, but Qin Xin gritted his teeth and persevered, feeling the barrier of this fifth main meridian constantly thinning under the impact.

"Pop!"

A muffled thud came from Qin Xin's body, and he was jolted awake.

A moment later, Qin Xin's eyes twitched slightly, and when he suddenly opened them, his pupils flashed with a blue-red light, followed by a smile spreading across his face.

"Now, wielding the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern, I fear not even a martial artist at the third level of the Awakening Realm."

Clenching his fist, Qin Xin felt the immense true energy of the fifth level of the Innate Realm within his body and murmured confidently.

Qin Xin doesn't yet know how to master the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern he unexpectedly obtained. For now, he simply pours his true energy into it to unleash its powerful strength. However, this external power is short-lived, and once it disappears, the resulting side effects leave Qin Xin extremely weak. Therefore, Qin Xin is unwilling to use the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern unless absolutely necessary.

Containing his joy, Qin Xin took out water from his storage bag, took a quick bath, then took out some dry rations, ate a little, and returned to his cultivation.

Qin Xin had plenty of points to spare before entering the Spirit Forging Tower, so he was prepared to cultivate here for a long time.

As time quietly passed, the cultivation room where Qin Xin was located fell silent.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Voices continuously emanated from the training room.

Qin Xin, whose face was somewhat delicate, was wielding a black staff. With each swing, the true energy of blue and red flowed within it. With each thrust of the staff, a burst of flame shot out, striking the ground and making a series of sounds.

"Sixth level of the Innate Realm! It's a pity that this spiritual energy tide has no effect on my cultivation anymore."

Qin Xin gently flicked his hand, and the black stick vanished. His face was filled with joy, but also with some regret.

Qin Xin felt nauseous after smelling the odor on his body.

He took out the remaining water from his Qiankun bag to rinse his body. As the water flowed over his body, he could feel the explosive power in his bones and muscles. With Qin Xin's current physical strength, ordinary swords, spears, and clubs could not cause him any harm.

"What are the requirements to enter the fourth level?"

Qin Xin muttered to himself, quickly tidied up, and left the cultivation room.

Qin Xin has been cultivating in the cultivation room for half a month now, and he has no idea what is happening outside.
