The fifteenth point of light lit up above Qin Xin's spiritual gate.
Kunmen East Peak, inside Leige Pavilion.
Yun Yi, who was in a state of cultivation, was unable to sit still in the pavilion after hearing the announcement outside. After changing his clothes, he stepped out of the Thunder Pavilion.
Similarly, the Fanhua Pavilion, which seemed to be completely closed off on the East Peak, was also faintly emitting fluctuations at this moment.
~~~~~~
After exiting the spiritual realm, Qin Xin was still in a closed-eye state when he saw the middle-aged man casually strike after he entered the sixteenth level of enlightenment.
This sword strike seemed to be filled with murderous intent, instantly breaking through Qin Xin's defenses. The constant slashing of the sword's edge made him experience an unprecedented feeling of being on the verge of death.
The Eighth Elder, dressed in black robes, did not rush to drive him away, but instead looked at Qin Xin with some delight.
"Passed fifteen levels, 500 psionic energy!"
As they gazed at the words flashing across Qin Xin's spiritual gate, some people in the Spirit Realm Pavilion couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, somewhat envious of the amount of spiritual energy reward.
After Qin Xin emerged from his meditative state, he opened his eyes and saw the Eighth Elder in front of him. Surprised, he quickly bowed slightly, offered a brief apology, and prepared to leave.
The five hundred spiritual energy points are enough for Qin Xin to cultivate for a while. As for the remaining spiritual energy, he plans to refine some pills such as Qi Condensation Pills and sell them in the inner courtyard.
"Very good. I didn't expect that you could pass the fifteenth level of the Spirit Realm test before you even reached the Qi Sea Realm. You must have some special methods."
Just as Qin Xin took a step to leave, the Eighth Elder's somewhat aged voice suddenly rang in Qin Xin's ears, while the people around seemed not to hear it.
"Hmm? Does this mean that disciples in the inner courtyard are not allowed to use methods to enhance their strength?"
Qin Xin asked the Eighth Elder curiously, and the Kunmen disciples around him broke out in a cold sweat when they saw Qin Xin speaking to the Eighth Elder in such a manner.
“No, the academy naturally encourages its disciples to develop freely.” The Eighth Elder shook his head and then said, “At first, Rong Ling told me that your potential should not be underestimated, and it seems that you do have some ability.”
"Does the Eighth Elder know Rong Ling?"
“Rong Ling is the Grand Elder’s chief disciple, how could I not know him?”
Qin Xin was somewhat surprised to hear that Rong Ling was the chief disciple of the Grand Elder, because it was hard to connect the two identities based on Rong Ling's disheveled appearance alone.
"Kunmen Main Peak, that's interesting. Rong Ling actually thinks you can restart Kunmen Main Peak, but I don't think you're so good at it."
The Eighth Elder spoke again, a hint of longing in his eyes, suggesting he had a special connection to the Kunmen Main Peak.
"May I ask, Eighth Elder, why is the Kun Sect's main summit being closed off?"
Qin Xin had always been very puzzled by this, because every time he returned to the main peak and tried to walk towards the summit, he would find that it seemed to be self-isolated, with powerful restrictions preventing people from entering.
"Knowing these things now is not good for you. You only need to know that all the disciples of the Kunmen Main Peak must bear the responsibility of restarting the Kunmen Main Peak."
After the Eighth Elder finished speaking, he closed his eyes again and did not answer Qin Xin's subsequent questions.
With his doubts in mind, Qin Xin left the Spirit Realm Pavilion. Just as he stepped into the Kunmen Square, several figures appeared and blocked his way.
Qin Xin narrowed his eyes and spotted two figures he vaguely recognized. Han Yao! Yun Yi!
"Qin Xin, what's this? You want to leave without even saying hello to Young Master Yun?"
Han Yao, with his pretty-boy looks, held his head high, as if he had someone backing him up, wanting to give Qin Xin a hard time.
"No need for greetings, I'm sure Brother Qin Xin can guess my intentions."
Yun Yi's clear voice was heard by some disciples who were relatively close to him in the Kunmen Square, but no one dared to step forward, as they all seemed to be wary of Yun Yi's identity.
"I'm sorry, I don't know," Qin Xin replied calmly.
"How rude of you, Young Master Yun! I don't think there's any need to invite Qin Xin to join the Thunder Pavilion at all," Han Yao said, eager to fan the flames.
"Ahem!" Yun Yi coughed lightly, seemingly displeased with Han Yao's sudden outburst, and then said, "You and Qin Xue are both from the Qin clan of Tianyuan City, right?"
Upon hearing that Qin Xin and Qin Xue were both from the Qin clan of Tianyuan City, Han Yao suddenly paused, his eyes darting around.
However, when Qin Xin heard that his background had been completely exposed, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Yun Yi with more vigilance.
"My people just found out a couple of days ago. Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards your family. After all, the Eastern Wilderness Academy provides some protection for the families of its disciples." Seeing Qin Xin's expression, Yun Yi was also delighted, as it seemed to be exactly what he wanted. "Leave the main peak and join my Thunder Pavilion."
"Oh? What are the benefits?"
Qin Xin felt that Yun Yi was not as simple as he thought when he received her invitation again.
"Of course, we can guarantee you a position as a Kunmen Peak Master," Yun Yi said with a smile. He believed that the conditions he offered were something Qin Xin could not refuse. Putting aside the status of a Peak Master among the Eight Gates, the fact that one could obtain five hundred spiritual energy every month was enough to make countless academy disciples fight tooth and nail for it.
"Oh? Isn't the position of Peak Master only attainable through one's own strength? How can Lei Ge guarantee that I will obtain it?"
Qin Xin naturally remained skeptical of Yun Yi's confidence.
"I suppose Brother Qin Xin is unaware that the position of Peak Master is not something one can fight for alone," Yun Yi smiled slightly, and then said, "The Kun Sect elects a new Peak Master every three years. Of course, this election is not conducted through recommendation, but through spiritual veins."
After Yun Yi's brief introduction, Qin Xin roughly understood the selection method of Kunmen Peak Masters. Each peak would send out several teams to determine the number of peak masters by occupying the ten spiritual veins of Kunmen.
Of course, the more spiritual veins one can occupy, the more concentrated the spiritual energy of the peak will be, which will be of greater benefit to the disciples' cultivation. This is why the North Peak is the strongest now, since it occupies the quota of four peaks, which means that the North Peak has the support of four spiritual veins.
"If you agree to join Lei Ge, you will become a team leader, and other teams will guarantee you a spot. How about it?" Yun Yi said to Qin Xin with a smile.
Han Yao, standing to the side, had a different attitude. He seemed reluctant to accept Yun Yi's invitation to Qin Xin. However, in terms of status, although his brother Han Sui was an elder of the inner academy, he was only a nominal elder. This was because their ancestors had made significant contributions to the Eastern Wilderness Academy, which was why they gave special treatment to their descendants.
Within this inner courtyard, the eight elders and the missing dean are the ones who truly hold power, followed by the heads of the various peaks under the eight gates.
Therefore, Han Yao didn't dare to go too far with Yun Yi; otherwise, even his brother wouldn't be able to protect her safely.
"Don't agree! Don't agree!"
Han Yao stared coldly at Qin Xin, silently muttering to himself.
After learning about the relationship between Qin Xin and Qin Xue, he was somewhat surprised, but he was not worried. Given his brother's status, Qin Xin would not dare to provoke him. Even if he knew that the Wind-Riding Eagle was his doing, Qin Xin could only swallow his anger. However, if Qin Xin joined the Thunder Pavilion and became a Peak Master, then Han Yao's days in the Thunder Pavilion would be difficult.
"Thank you for the invitation, but I need to consider this matter."
Qin Xin replied with a smile. Although he also wanted to become a peak master, having a continuous supply of spiritual energy would allow him to purchase more cultivation pills and accelerate his cultivation progress considerably.
"Alright." Seeing that Qin Xin was considering, Yun Yi was not impatient. After all, it would take some time before the competition for the Kunmen Peak position was over, so he cleared the way.
Qin Xin didn't linger at all, and walked towards the main peak of Kunmen with swift steps.
After Qin Xin's figure disappeared, Han Yao said with a cold look on his face, "Young Master Yun, this kid is obviously impervious to reason, why did you..."
"Our Lei Pavilion has been planning to annex the Fan Hua Pavilion for decades. We cannot let this variable, Qin Xin, ruin our decades-long plan."
A wicked smile crept across Yun Yi's lips.
"Haha, I knew it! Young Master Yun, brilliant!"
Han Yao gave a thumbs up, his previous worry completely gone.
