This day was an extremely bloody one for Chiling City.
The streets in the eastern part of Chiling City were already deserted, as everyone learned that the Zhou and Li clans had led all their people out in full force.
The residents and martial artists of Chiling City, who were already accustomed to the clan battles, all avoided the battlegrounds of the three major clans.
In the eastern streets of Chiling City, roars echoed through the air, attracting the attention of many martial artists. However, no one dared to approach, for such a life-or-death battle was devoid of any rationality.
Once you step inside and are treated as an enemy, there is only one outcome: death!
"boom!"
The sounds of explosions, along with the sounds of buildings and attics collapsing, rose and fell.
~~~~~~
At this moment, in the side courtyard where Qin Xin was temporarily staying, Elder Sanbao and Qin Xin were sitting at a stone table.
"Huh? Qin Xin, how did you know that the old patriarch of the Murong clan is dead?"
The old man asked with some doubt.
"The Murong clan's actions are a clear indication that they are consolidating all their power in a defensive posture, which is quite different from what happened a few days ago. If it's not a trap, then something must have happened within the clan."
"For the Murong clan to make such a big move when they are about to occupy Chiling City, it must be because their strongest member has run into trouble."
"And the strongest person in the Murong clan is naturally the old patriarch of the Murong clan."
Qin Xin also did some analysis, but did not tell Elder Sanbao about Elder Ying's matter.
The two chatted as they savored the freshly steeped Chiling Yunye tea leaves.
Now, Qin Xin has transplanted a Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf Tea Tree into his mysterious fragmented space, so he naturally has no shortage of Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf. Moreover, brewing tea with Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf can calm a martial artist's mind, which is of great help to cultivation.
Staring at the already boiling tea, Elder Sanbao was somewhat impatient. He was well aware of the value of the Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf. A single leaf was worth a high-grade spirit stone, and even that was hard to come by.
Although Elder Sanbao is an elder of the Tianxuan Sect, his monthly stipend is only a few high-grade spirit stones. He can only taste luxury items like the Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf once in a while before he has used up his entire month's salary. Therefore, he dares not enjoy such things casually.
The last time the Elder Sanbao tasted the Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf was when he went to the residence of the Grand Elder Fenglu of the Tianxuan Sect on business and casually had a cup.
The aroma of tea now filled the entire courtyard. Old Man Sanbao couldn't wait any longer. As soon as Qin Xin poured out the scalding hot tea, Old Man Sanbao didn't care about the heat and put it directly into his mouth, just like an old ox drinking water, not even sensing the taste of the tea leaves.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Qin Xin sensed that the airflow around Elder Sanbao suddenly stopped, as if some changes had occurred.
The old man Sanbao naturally sensed it as well, and immediately turned to his teacup, slowly closed his eyes, and calmed his mind.
"Domain fluctuations?"
Qin Xin was previously trapped in the inner chamber of the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire, and because of the domain's seal, he had some understanding of it.
Upon sensing the Yuan energy fluctuations emanating from Elder Sanbao spreading outwards, Qin Xin immediately retreated, as he had mistakenly entered Elder Sanbao's domain and thus disturbed his cultivation.
After retreating to a distance of three zhang, Qin Xin immediately stopped, because he could sense that this distance of three zhang was the limit that the Three Treasures Elder's domain could cover.
After a martial artist enters the Dharma Aspect Realm, as their strength increases, the range of their domain will become wider and wider. Some powerful Dharma Aspect Realm martial artists can even cover an area within a hundred feet with their domain with a single thought.
Of course, the size of a martial artist's domain is not the standard for judging a martial artist's strength. Each martial artist's domain ability is different. Some martial artists have a large domain range, but their abilities are very limited and they cannot even cause harm to other martial artists. However, all martial artist domains have one thing in common: domain sealing. It can bind those martial artists who enter the domain or are included in the domain. Only by defeating the person who cast the domain can they escape.
The true standard for judging the strength of a martial artist at the Dharma Aspect Realm is actually the Martial Spirit Dharma Aspect that the martial artist has condensed.
The Martial Spirit Dharma Form is formed when a martial artist in the Dharma Form Realm breaks through the Opening Yuan Pill and combines with their own Martial Spirit. As the martial artist cultivates, the Martial Spirit Dharma Form becomes more and more solid.
The more solid the martial spirit avatar, the stronger the elemental power it contains, and the stronger the martial artist will be.
Just as Qin Xin was marveling at the aura emanating from Elder Sanbao, the surrounding domain was slowly withdrawn.
Fortunately, when the Three Treasures Elder officially entered the Dharma Aspect Realm, he deliberately restrained his aura; otherwise, Qin Xin would definitely have been injured.
Of course, Qin Xin did not see the Martial Spirit Dharma Image of the Three Treasures Elder. This kind of thing is the last trump card of a Dharma Image Realm martial artist.
"Qin Xin, thanks to your tea, I owe you a debt of gratitude."
After standing up, the old man Sanbao felt the changes in his body and his face was full of surprise.
After a martial artist enters the Dharma Aspect Realm, the increase in strength is only part of the story; more importantly, it breaks free from the shackles of life.
Generally, a Dharma Aspect Realm expert, unless they perish prematurely, can live for nearly three hundred years.
"Elder, there's no need for that. I'll be able to enter the Dharma Aspect Realm soon. This disciple just stumbled upon it by chance," Qin Xin said modestly.
Qin Xin felt very comfortable with the interactions between disciples and elders in the Tianxuan Sect, because everything was based on strength, and there was no deceit or treachery.
"Haha, do you know how many people are forever stuck at the Yuan Dan realm because of that half-step? No wonder a single Red Ridge Cloud Leaf is worth a high-grade spirit stone. There's a reason why it's so expensive."
The old man Sanbao said with a smile, clearly very excited to have entered the Dharma Aspect Realm.
However, from these words, Qin Xin could also tell that the old man Sanbao was giving him a warning.
When Qin Xin first arrived at Tianxuan Sect, he received a pill from Elder Sanbao, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy and took out five Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves to present to Elder Sanbao.
Qin Xin also spoke up, "This disciple has acquired quite a few before, so I still have some left. If the elder likes them, please feel free to accept them."
Seeing Qin Xin's appearance, the old man Sanbao stroked his chin, shook his head, and said, "You kid, we in the Tianxuan Sect don't follow this kind of thing. You have to treat people with sincerity in everything."
While lecturing Qin Xin, the old man Sanbao took out five high-grade spirit stones.
"In fact, I'm the one who's getting a good deal from you. Although the Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaf is said to be worth one high-grade spirit stone per leaf, it's usually priceless and unavailable."
"However, these Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves are indeed useful for my cultivation, so I will not refuse them. But you must accept these spirit stones."
After saying that, Qin Xin accepted the high-grade spirit stone and put it into his spatial ring.
