The fourth floor of the Spirit Forging Tower is very small, with only eight cultivation rooms in the center. Each cultivation room requires 200 points per day. Qin Xin looked at the more than 4,000 points in his identity token and felt a pang of regret.
However, on this fourth level, Qin Xin could clearly feel that the spiritual energy here was much denser than on the third level, which could accelerate the speed of cultivation.
Looking at the eight cultivation rooms, the three closest to the center had already been occupied, so Qin Xin could only enter the one furthest to the side.
Upon entering the cultivation room, Qin Xin did not rush to cultivate immediately. Instead, he first took a shower. After entering the seventh level of the Innate Realm, the brown filth expelled from his body accumulated on the surface of his skin, and this sticky feeling made him very uncomfortable.
After everything was settled, Qin Xin took out the Heavenly Phoenix Futon, sat cross-legged on it, and calmed his mind.
Qin Xin sensed some changes in the Black Stick Martial Spirit, which puzzled him greatly.
"Could it be that giant Kun?"
Qin Xin thought to himself.
When he entered the fourth level of the Spirit Forging Tower, the spiritual energy tide clearly formed the figure of a giant Kun. After being shattered by the Spirit Devouring Stone, the fragments were also transformed into very pure energy through the Spirit Devouring Stone and flowed into the Martial Spirit. However, this energy was negligible, and Qin Xin did not pay too much attention to it.
After shifting his spiritual sense, the black-clad martial spirit seemed to be right in front of him. However, even the tiny amount of pure energy was extremely difficult for the martial spirit, whose spiritual power level had reached three stars, to absorb. In fact, it even caused a sudden surge in energy.
"Is it time to advance?"
Qin Xin carefully observed the changes in the Black Stick Martial Spirit. At this moment, the blue and red aura on the Black Stick Martial Spirit had completely subsided, and wisps of misty aura appeared.
As an explosive force appeared in the martial core, the Firewood Martial Core was instantly stirred up, and two streams of true energy, one red and one green, quickly merged together and surrounded the Black Stick Martial Spirit.
"A four-star martial spirit?"
Qin Xin's eyes revealed a look of surprise. At this moment, a black staff appeared in his hand, surrounded by azure and crimson aura, while the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern emitted a faint golden light.
With each swing, the azure and crimson energy seemed to materialize into the phantom of a giant Kun. With a single swing, the true energy burst forth, instantly surging outwards.
"So strong!"
Qin Xin was very satisfied. The advancement of his martial spirit was an unexpected joy for him. However, he was also increasingly curious about the strange water clone holy soul water in the Spirit Forging Tower.
When Qin Xin began cultivating again, the improvement in his Martial Spirit level made him more adept at dealing with the impact of spiritual energy tides, making him a completely different person from when he had just entered the fourth level.
Soon, Qin Xin entered a state of deep cultivation, completely sealing off his mind, preparing to attempt another breakthrough before entering Mount Luoshen.
~~~~~~
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has quietly passed.
Class 17 of the Weaponry Academy has changed dramatically, as if it has been renovated. In the attic of the classroom, there is a black staff carved from an unknown material, which looks very similar to Qin Xin's martial spirit.
"Ling Die, is the boss still in seclusion cultivating?"
Jin Yuanbao, who was originally quite plump, now had a smaller belly, seemingly having started a weight loss journey under Shangguan Lingdie's encouragement.
In front of Jin Yuanbao, Shangguan Lingdie's current attire is more feminine, but her somewhat aloof personality remains unchanged. Only when facing Jin Yuanbao can a hint of gentleness appear in her eyes.
"I think so."
Shangguan Lingdie pursed her lips, clearly annoyed by these hands-off managers, and then suddenly asked, "Should we give those challenge letters to the boss?"
"Hmph, these old students in the Enlightenment Realm are shameless. Seeing that our boss has entered the Hidden Dragon Ranking, they've all started to challenge him."
Jin Yuanbao rubbed his stomach and said, clearly somewhat angrily.
~~~~~~
At this moment, Qin Xin began to feel restless and impatient during his continuous cultivation. Although the true qi in his martial elixir was being refined to become more refined and the true qi in his main meridian was completely full, there was no sign of the eighth main meridian loosening, and it seemed that even the barrier could not be sensed.
"What exactly is going on?"
Qin Xin was extremely anxious, because other martial artists usually had their eighth main meridian appear after their seventh main meridian was opened. Although they couldn't open it, they could at least feel the barrier.
However, Qin Xin's eighth main meridian was like a severed meridian, seemingly impossible to open no matter how hard he tried.
"Let's go out for a walk first; I'm a bit tired after such a long period of cultivation."
Qin Xin slowly got up and walked out of the Spirit Forging Tower.
After sensing the spiritual energy from the outside world, Qin Xin suddenly realized that the barrier of the eighth main meridian was not like the severed meridian he had sensed in the Spirit Forging Tower.
"Fortunately, we're out now. If we had continued cultivating, we might have gone mad from practicing qi cultivation."
Qin Xin slowly exhaled. He had been in a state of high-intensity cultivation every day for some time, which made him feel somewhat dazed.
As Qin Xin walked back to the courtyard, many students around him cast glances at him.
Qin Xin sensed these gazes, but he didn't care and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
Before long, the gate of the courtyard appeared before Qin Xin.
Upon entering the courtyard, the first thing Qin Xin did upon returning to his room was to collapse into bed and fall asleep.
Qin Xin didn't wake up until the morning of the next day. After opening his eyes, he stretched comfortably, having had a very good sleep.
As the morning light shone, Qin Xin headed towards Class 17. Half a month had passed, and he wanted to see how Jin Yuanbao and the others were doing, and also to find out what had happened in the academy recently.
Upon arriving at the location, Qin Xin was slightly surprised and hesitated to step into the pavilion for a moment.
Because the pavilion had been renovated, it had completely changed its appearance, and the statue of Wu Ling made Qin Xin feel somewhat emotional.
Qin Xin smiled calmly, guessing that the statue was indeed made by Jin Yuanbao.
"Boss, you've finally come out of seclusion! Our class has been practically being swarmed with people every day!"
Upon seeing Qin Xin return, Jin Yuanbao, who was dozing off, hurriedly ran over. Looking at his haggard appearance, it seemed that he had spent the entire previous night in the classroom and had not rested well at all.
"Why don't you go back to your own courtyard to sleep?" Qin Xin asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Stop talking. That tigress Ling Die took over my yard and kicked me out," Jin Yuanbao said angrily.
"Hey, did you do something bad outside?" Qin Xin couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Jin Yuanbao's discomfiture.
"How could that be? Alright, let's not talk about me for now. Recently, quite a few veteran students have sent us challenge letters. What are you planning to do?" Jin Yuanbao said seriously.
In the outer courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, all students can issue challenge letters to students on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Victory will allow them to take a place on the ranking. Of course, points can also be included as stakes in the challenge letter.
"A challenge?"
A glint of light flashed in Qin Xin's eyes. "Then I'll accept it all, but I'll add one condition: I'll need points or some valuable items as a wager."
