A flash of light appeared, and the illusory image of the spatial magic treasure appeared in front of Lin Xiaofei.

It looked at Lin Xiaofei and said:

Human cultivator, your combat prowess truly amazes me.

However, if you want to subdue me, the final hurdle is to defeat me.

However, as soon as it finished speaking, it saw Lin Xiaofei wave his hand, and a sword light, as fast as lightning, rushed towards it.

"ah!"

Before it could react, it was struck by the sword light and instantly sent flying.

It flew through the air in an arc, then crashed heavily to the ground.

It struggled to its feet, a look of astonishment on its face. It hadn't expected that it would be defeated without even seeing its opponent's move.

At this moment, it also realized that it was no match for Lin Xiaofei.

At the same time, it also realized that Lin Xiaofei was not only an extremely young cultivator, but also a cultivator with formidable combat power.

It thought to itself:

I have already lost. Do I really have to acknowledge him as my master?

Given how young the opponent is, yet possesses such formidable strength, he must be a super genius.

Even if I acknowledge him as my master, it shouldn't dishonor me, right?

Its gaze lingered for a moment, then it pondered for a while, struggling with its inner turmoil.

It quickly regained its composure, came to Lin Xiaofei, and said:

Kid, you win. I can acknowledge you as my master.

However, you should know that I am a precious magical treasure of the White Tiger clan. Once you subdue me, the leader of the White Tiger clan will not let you go.

Have you thought this through?

"Although you are young, you possess such formidable strength, which is quite remarkable. However, if the leader of the White Tiger clan were to find out, you would likely face a difficult fate."

Its tone carried a hint of helplessness and warning.

The illusory spiritual consciousness stared at Lin Xiaofei, a sense of unprecedented respect welling up within it.

It realized that Lin Xiaofei, at such a young age, possessed the strength of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, which was simply a miracle in the cultivation world.

It believed that the other party's cultivation aptitude was extremely high, even surpassing that of the White Tiger leader, which amazed it.

It believed that Lin Xiaofei's ability to so easily break through its methods suggested that once he broke through to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, he might achieve remarkable success in the near future.

At the same time, it also realized that Lin Xiaofei would definitely become an extremely powerful cultivator in the future.

As a spatial magic treasure passed down through generations of the White Tiger clan, it has always been confined within the clan's stone cave, unable to witness the outside world.

He longed to see the outside world and experience the vastness and wonder of the cultivation world.

It believed that if it were subdued by Lin Xiaofei, it would have the opportunity to follow Lin Xiaofei out of the White Tiger's lair and explore a wider world.

The spatial magic artifact's spirit secretly looked forward to the future, believing that following Lin Xiaofei would bring it a bright future.

Upon hearing the recognition from the spatial artifact's spirit, Lin Xiaofei's face broke into a bright smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and a surge of joy and excitement welled up within him.

He quickly took a deep breath to calm his excitement.

Lin Xiaofei smiled and said confidently:

You just need to acknowledge me as your master. As for whether I will be hunted down by the White Tiger leader, or whether he will let me go, that's something I need to face.

Moreover, it probably won't be so easy for the White Tiger leader to take my life.

Now, I only ask you, are you truly willing to acknowledge me as your master?

His voice revealed confidence and determination, as if he were demonstrating his courage and strength to the spatial artifact.

Lin Xiaofei knew that once he subdued this spatial magic treasure, he would offend the White Tiger Clan, and the leader of the White Tiger Clan would cause him trouble.

However, he was not afraid at all.

The spatial magic artifact smiled and exclaimed in admiration:

You, a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, are not afraid of the White Tiger Leader's pursuit; your courage is truly commendable.

I can see that you have extremely high talent for cultivation and a bright future ahead of you, and I also want to leave this place.

Therefore, I have decided to acknowledge you as my master.

After speaking, the illusory image of the spatial magic treasure turned around and transformed into a beam of light, flying swiftly towards Lin Xiaofei like a shooting star.

The soft light, as if carrying a mysterious power, gently landed on Lin Xiaofei's forehead.

"Um?"

Lin Xiaofei was startled, feeling a warm and gentle power surge into his mind. He initially wanted to resist, but finding no danger, he accepted the power.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed a mark appearing on the barrier within his dantian.

This mark is the spiritual consciousness of the spatial artifact.

The mark was small and exquisite, shimmering with a faint light, and merged with Lin Xiaofei's dantian.

As the mark formed, Lin Xiaofei felt a wonderful connection being established.

He could clearly sense the existence of the spatial artifact, as if it had become a part of his body. At the same time, he could control the spiritual imprint at any time.

The process of the spatial artifact recognizing its master was completed quickly.

"Is the recognition of the master complete?"

Lin Xiaofei felt himself establish a connection with the spatial magic treasure, and his face immediately lit up with surprise. His eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, unable to hide his excitement.

He said with delight:

"I never expected to obtain the White Tiger Clan's herb garden so easily!"

At this moment, his heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.

He knew full well that this herb garden was a fifth-grade spatial magic treasure, a type of magic treasure that was extremely rare. Only the largest cultivation sects could possibly possess it.

He, a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, was overjoyed to have obtained such a precious spatial magic treasure.

At the same time, he thought of the large number of spiritual herbs planted in his spatial magic treasure, which were exactly what he needed.

He believed that if he cultivated these spiritual herbs properly, there would be even more spiritual herbs, and he would be able to obtain a large amount of spiritual herb resources in a short period of time.

If he had a large number of high-grade spiritual herbs, it would be a good opportunity for him to accelerate his cultivation. In that case, his realm could be improved rapidly, and he could become a Nascent Soul cultivator as soon as possible.

Lin Xiaofei thought for a moment, secretly hoping, and muttered to himself:

Now, I possess quite a few second- and third-grade spiritual herbs. If I use these herbs to cultivate the Nascent Soul stage immortal techniques taught to me by Senior Bishan, my growth rate will be even faster.

Once I successfully cultivate it, I wonder just how powerful I will become!

As he muttered to himself, suddenly, a ray of light flew out from his body, and a phantom appeared beside Lin Xiaofei.

This phantom emitted a faint light, which was the manifestation of the spiritual consciousness of the spatial magic treasure.

The phantom spirit whispered:

Master, my soul imprint has been attached to your dantian, and I am ready to serve you at any time.

Although I am a spatial magic artifact, I do not possess powerful offensive capabilities.

From the moment I was born with spiritual consciousness, I have been trapped here by the White Tiger Clan, taking care of the spiritual herbs in the spiritual herb garden for the White Tiger Clan, so that the spiritual herbs can grow well.

"Of course, if you need any spiritual herbs for your spatial magic treasure, please let me know and I will fetch them for you."

Lin Xiaofei nodded and asked, "

How many Grade Two spiritual herbs are currently in this herb garden?

The illusory spiritual entity replied softly:

Master, there are currently over 9.5 million mature Grade 2 spiritual herbs, and over 7 million immature Grade 2 spiritual herbs.

"Master, do you wish to use these spiritual herbs to enhance your cultivation level?"

"I'm planning to!"

Lin Xiaofei nodded and responded.

“Master, based on my observation, you are currently at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. At the same time, I see nine talent marks on your dantian barrier.”

If you want to break through to a higher realm, you need to first activate the energy within the nine innate traces in order to successfully break through.

Fortunately, the master's talent traces had clearly loosened somewhat, as if they had been stimulated by someone. Now, only a powerful force was needed to activate the energy within the talent traces.

The illusory spiritual entity spoke softly.

"Have the traces of my talent become somewhat loose? Have I been provoked?"

Lin Xiaofei was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he quickly realized who had stimulated his talent traces.

Previously, when his natal magic weapon was upgraded to a spiritual treasure, the old man from Bishan had stimulated his talent traces.

"Master, in my opinion, you only need to consume all nine million Grade Two spiritual herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden to form a power within your body."

This could potentially activate the energy within the nine innate talent traces within your body, thus making it possible for you to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"You can break through like that?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei's face showed a hint of surprise. His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, as if he was somewhat taken aback by the words of the spiritual phantom.

His eyes darted around, and he thought to himself:

Unexpectedly, the spiritual sense of this spatial magic treasure actually knew that I had nine talent traces in my body, and even knew how to activate the energy in the talent traces.

That makes sense, though. It has been in the White Tiger clan for countless millennia and must have witnessed many similar situations with the White Tiger Demon King.

Now, all I need to do is activate the energy within my innate talent, and I might be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Xiaofei thought about it and felt that the spiritual phantom's words made a lot of sense.

He also knew that he was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. If he wanted to break through to the Divine Transformation stage as soon as possible, he had to open up all the energy in the nine innate traces.

In this way, the energy within the traces of talent can further nourish his body, allowing the purity of his spiritual power to increase once again.

At the same time, this is also a way to accumulate power, which makes it possible to break through to a higher realm.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xiaofei said:

It's time to activate the energy within the talent traces.

Moreover, within this spatial battlefield, no one can disturb me; it's an ideal place for breakthrough cultivation.

After a brief pause, he spoke to the illusory image of the spatial magic artifact beside him:

"Do as you say. Pick all the mature Grade Two spiritual herbs from the herb garden for me."

After saying that, Lin Xiaofei sat down cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.

The illusory spiritual entity beside it responded with "Yes," and then transformed into a ray of light and quickly disappeared.

It returned shortly afterward, placing a large quantity of mature Grade 2 spiritual herbs beside Lin Xiaofei.

The illusory spiritual entity did not disturb Lin Xiaofei. After gently placing the spiritual herb down, it silently retreated to the side, guarding Lin Xiaofei.

After sitting cross-legged, Lin Xiaofei gently closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

He took a deep breath, letting the air flow down his throat into his lungs, and slowly exhaled, repeating this several times.

His breathing gradually became steady and deep, as if it had merged with the surrounding air.

During the breathing exercise, Lin Xiaofei quickly felt a faint light shimmering in his dantian.

Soon, he saw nine chains shining with light on the barrier of his dantian, which were traces of his talent.

Nine traces of innate talent tightly wrapped around the entire dantian.

The traces of his talent emanated a mysterious power, as if waiting for him to unlock them.

Looking at the talent marks on his dantian, Lin Xiaofei thought to himself:

Each trace of talent hides a mysterious power; unlocking that power is equivalent to increasing one's own foundation.

From what I understand, most Nascent Soul Peak cultivators only have one talent mark in their bodies, and activating that talent mark is relatively easy for them.

Of course, their foundation is naturally weak.

Those cultivators who can unlock the four talent traces will see their inherent strength greatly increased once the energy within them is activated.

After observing the traces of his talent for a while, he gained some understanding of his situation and thought to himself:

I possess nine talent traces. In the eyes of others, it might seem that someone with nine talent traces would find it difficult to activate the energy within them throughout their entire life.

For many, unlocking the energy within the nine talent traces is extremely difficult, but I have my own method.

"According to the Immortal Art of Immortal Soaring to the World, a cultivation technique for the Integration Stage, there is a section about how a peak Nascent Soul cultivator can unlock the energy within their innate talent traces."

First, one uses the Netherworld Stone and one's own accumulated spiritual power to stimulate the traces of one's talent;

Secondly, with the help of external forces, one can consume a large number of high-grade spiritual herbs to form a powerful force within the body. By channeling this powerful force into the talent traces, it is possible to activate the energy within them.

In comparison, stimulating the talent traces with the Nether Stone and one's own power will take a very long time.

The second method requires collecting a large number of mature Grade 2 spiritual herbs and consuming them continuously to gather a powerful force within the body in a short period of time in order to achieve this.

For many cultivators, both methods are difficult to achieve, especially the second one, which involves collecting a large number of mature, high-grade spiritual herbs, which is very challenging.

However, I had already collected Nether Stones before, so I can use either of the latter two methods.

But I want to activate the energy within my talent traces as quickly as possible, which requires consuming a large amount of spiritual herbs; that would be faster.

He now possesses a large quantity of second-grade spiritual herbs.

In addition, if he wants to improve his strength in a short period of time, he can only devour the more than nine million spiritual herbs in front of him, which may quickly activate the energy in his talent traces.

"As far as I know, in the cultivation world, it is very difficult for anyone who has opened more than four talent traces to activate the energy within them."

However, I'm going to give it a try!

Muttering to himself, he raised his hands, releasing an invisible force, and took the spiritual herb beside him into his hands and put it into his mouth.

After the herb entered his mouth, it transformed into a stream of heat, which quickly formed a surge of energy in his abdomen.

Without hesitation, he mobilized the spiritual power within his body, surging towards the heat flow, enveloping that energy, and then guiding it to his dantian.
