Kunmen Main Peak.
Inside the cave where Qin Xin was located.
In the courtyard, Qin Xin held a fragment of a jade pendant in his hand, and as he looked at the two shimmering points of light on it, some thoughts began to stir in his mind.
"Father? Grandfather?"
Two low murmurs escaped Qin Xin's lips.
After handing the jade pendant fragment to Qin Xin, Elder Mo did not explain what the jade pendant fragment was connected to. However, every time Qin Xin took out the jade pendant fragment, the Spirit Devouring Stone in his Niwan Palace would show some unusual activity.
Based on the appearance of the fragments, Qin Xin deduced that if he could collect them all, it might be a jade key, but he had no idea what its function or how to use it.
After storing the jade pendant in his spatial ring, Qin Xin began to focus his martial spirit cultivation.
Sensing the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Mark above his Martial Spirit, Qin Xin smiled slightly, filled with anticipation for the strange fire within the inner courtyard.
The benefits that Yang Fire brought to Qin Xin were self-evident. It not only increased the speed of alchemy, but also enabled him to complete the first Nirvana of the Nine Nirvanas of the Heavenly Phoenix. Relying on his true energy, he condensed a flame armor, which Qin Xin named the first Nirvana the Heavenly Phoenix Battle Armor.
While overjoyed, Qin Xin also showed some worry in his eyes. His spiritual cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Spiritual Travel Realm, and his cultivation progress was very slow. Although the Supreme Divine Evolution Technique was running at all times, the spiritual power it generated was very scarce.
"It seems that reaching the Spirit Form Realm is still a long way off!"
Qin Xin shook his head with some emotion. After entering the Spirit Form Realm, spiritual cultivators can control objects through their spiritual sense. If their spiritual sense is strong enough, they can even fly on objects.
After calming down, Qin Xin took out the Blazing Fire Black Iron Furnace and retrieved some of the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Five Elements Condensing True Pill.
Looking at the dozens of spiritual herbs in front of him, Qin Xin felt somewhat helpless. Currently, the Kunmen Pill Shop has no pills to sell, and due to the suppression by the Pill Sect, all the alchemists who originally joined the Kunmen main peak have been poached, so the shop has no choice but to close down.
In order for the main peak of Kunmen to operate normally, Qin Xue needed more spiritual energy to support it. Therefore, before Qin Xin returned, she collected a lot of spiritual herbs needed for refining pills.
"It seems we still need to recruit some alchemists." Looking at the dazzling array of spiritual herbs in front of him, Qin Xin sighed.
The process of refining pills is also a form of cultivation for martial artists. The internal energy is constantly being consumed, and the process of replenishing the internal energy can make the internal energy more refined. However, this process is tedious and boring. Constantly enduring the scorching heat of the flames can also make the alchemist feel very tired.
After placing each spiritual herb into the alchemy furnace, Qin Xin closed his eyes and used his soul perception to sense the changes occurring in the herbs being roasted by the flames. From time to time, Qin Xin would inject wood-attribute true energy to control the temperature of the flames.
The entire alchemy process lasted for several hours.
Exhaustion swept over Qin Xin's entire body, but looking at the jade bottles filled with pills in front of him, a sense of accomplishment inexplicably welled up in Qin Xin's heart.
With dawn still early and feeling somewhat tired, Qin Xin didn't think too much and simply took out the Heavenly Phoenix Futon. In a daze, his figure appeared in the space of the futon.
After observing that the five-colored aura surrounding the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg seemed to be deeper than before, Qin Xin deliberately approached it.
For a moment, Qin Xin felt as if his martial spirit was faintly connected to the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg.
Beside the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg, Qin Xin sat down cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and began the long and tedious cultivation process.
Unbeknownst to Qin Xin, as he activated his martial spirit and began his cultivation, a shadow seemed to be mimicking his every move within the ancient phoenix egg.
~~~~~~
The sky gradually turned white, like a fish's belly.
In the silent Kun Sect, the disciples also finished their cultivation and came out of their caves.
The Kunmen Square also became noisy, with several disciples clashing and causing some friction.
In a secluded courtyard, Qin Xin lazily stretched.
A sense of comfort washed over him. After calming his mind, he entered the space of the mysterious fragment of the map and found that Danqing was still asleep.
Moreover, when Danqing was asleep, an energy shield formed in the area where he was, seemingly as a spontaneous protection for the spirit.
To avoid damaging the painting, Qin Xin simply tidied it up before withdrawing from the mysterious fragment space.
After a quick wash, Qin Xin changed out of his alchemist's robe. Although the robe looked nice, it wasn't very practical for him to move around in.
After putting on a black robe, Qin Xin stood in front of a bronze mirror as tall as a person and grinned at his reflection.
He touched his chin with a touch of narcissism, then turned and left the courtyard.
Before reaching the attic, Qin Xin found it very quiet, as if Qin Xue had already gone out.
After calling out a few times and receiving no response, Qin Xin muttered to himself, "Did Sister Qin Xue go to the Kunmen Trading Center?"
Without stepping into the pavilion, Qin Xin turned and left the cave.
Qin Xin's cave dwelling was located at the foot of the mountain, so it was not far from the main peak gate.
After walking for a short while, we arrived at the location of the mountain gate.
"I'm asking you, where is Qin Xin?!"
"I have no idea!"
"Han Sui, as an inner sect elder, how dare you commit violence at the Kun Sect's main peak? Aren't you afraid of the Punishment Hall?"
A delicate, angry voice rang out repeatedly, interspersed with groans of pain, as if the person had suffered a serious injury.
I'm asking you one more time, or don't blame me for killing you!
Even if you kill me, I won't know!
...
The somewhat familiar voice reached Qin Xin's ears, and instantly he felt a sense of unease, quickening his pace.
Upon entering and seeing the scene before the mountain gate, Qin Xin's eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and his killing intent surged forth. The Nine Flames Battle Immortal Staff appeared directly in his hand and transformed into the shape of a "sword," with yang fire rising from it.
His figure charged directly towards the person wearing the inner courtyard elder's robe!
"bite!"
A crisp sound rang out, and Qin Xin's figure instantly froze on the spot.
"Qin Xin, you've finally come out!" The inner courtyard elder's voice was extremely cold, and Qin Xin recognized the man as he approached; he was none other than Han Yao's older brother, Han Sui.
A powerful surge of energy instantly erupted from Han Sui's body, flowing along the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword and rushing towards Qin Xin.
The attack of a Yuanfu Realm expert should not be underestimated. Qin Xin dared not be careless and directly activated the Heavenly Phoenix Armor. With flames rising, a true qi armor appeared on Qin Xin's body.
"Bang!"
After a muffled thud, Qin Xin took a few steps back.
Several cracks appeared on Qin Xin's Heavenly Phoenix Armor, making it seem as if it was about to collapse at any moment. Qin Xin's lips were also pale. Although the Heavenly Phoenix Armor had absorbed most of the power of Han Sui's attack, the remaining Yuan energy still impacted Qin Xin's body, causing him some injuries.
"Oh? You actually managed to block that attack, but you won't be so lucky this time."
Han Sui was slightly surprised to see that Qin Xin had not been directly killed by his attack, but his eyes immediately turned cold again, and he gathered his Yuan energy in his hands again, preparing to kill Qin Xin directly.
Qin Xue, who was lying on the ground, saw that Han Sui had no intention of stopping, so she shouted loudly, "Qin Xin, don't worry about me, run away!"
