More than two days have passed since the class ranking competition in the Trial Forest.
Qin Xin was cultivating in the courtyard. After swallowing a Qi-restoring pill, the medicinal power dissolved directly in his cavity. The massive medicinal power surged into his meridians and flowed rapidly into his dantian. A portion of it flowed into his main meridian. Under the operation of his martial spirit, the medicinal power was continuously transformed into pure true qi.
As he continued to recover, Qin Xin's face regained some color.
"Martial Spirit Pattern, Earth-rank martial art, it seems I need even greater strength to master it!"
Qin Xin's dark eyes trembled slightly before he suddenly opened them.
The battle in the Trial Forest made Qin Xin realize his shortcomings. Thinking back to the person who dug out his martial bones, he knew that he would have to put in more effort to make up for these deficiencies.
"It's time to break through!"
Qin Xin made a definitive statement, and then completely released the true energy that he had been suppressing within his body.
At this moment, a misty light emanated from his dantian, and the powerful true energy gathered and rushed directly towards the fourth main meridian.
To Qin Xin's surprise, breaking through the fourth main meridian went very smoothly. Under the constant cleansing of true qi, the deposits in the main meridian were continuously expelled from his body.
"That's it? Fourth level of the Innate Realm?"
Feeling the even more powerful true energy within his body, and the four main meridians now fully connected, Qin Xin murmured softly.
"Kid, don't neglect your spiritual cultivation. Also, prepare these things."
As Qin Xin was overjoyed, Danqing's voice came directly out.
After joining the Eastern Wilderness Academy, Qin Xin did neglect spiritual cultivation for a period of time. Although he has now entered the late stage of the Spiritual Consciousness Realm, he feels that spiritual cultivation does not help him improve his strength much. It was only after Dan Qing reminded him that Qin Xin thought of the Spirit Devouring Stone.
"The Fire-Repelling Pill is an essential medicine for taming strange fire. It can form an energy shield in a martial artist's body to prevent the strange fire from burning the body."
"Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Water Ripple Grass, Fire-Repelling Vine... Level 5 Water Attribute Monster Crystals."
Feeling the message from Danqing in his mind, Qin Xin felt a bitter taste in his mouth. With his 126 points, he was afraid that the things he needed to prepare were far from enough. Fortunately, these things were not urgent.
Qin Xin took a sniff and smelled a fishy, foul odor that made his head ache. After the breakthrough, some brown substances were expelled from his body and accumulated on the surface of his skin.
After a quick wash, Qin Xin changed into a new set of clothes. The academy's robe was very form-fitting, and after putting it on, Qin Xin could faintly feel his internal energy flowing. The robe seemed to be a magical artifact, which explained why so many people would fight tooth and nail to join the Eastern Wilderness Academy.
"Qin Xin! Come out quickly! There's good news."
Just as Qin Xin was feeling the flow of true qi within his body, Jin Yuanbao's voice came from outside the courtyard, his words revealing excitement.
"What good news?"
Qin Xin pushed open the courtyard gate and looked at the hurried Jin Yuanbao, whose belly was shaking wildly as he ran around. He couldn't help but smile.
"Our class has risen to seventeenth place, and all students in all classes can earn fifteen points per month."
Jin Yuanbao said excitedly.
"Oh, okay."
Qin Xin remained calm. Fifteen points were a drop in the ocean for him; the price of a level-five water-attribute monster crystal would likely be no less than three hundred points. As for the other alchemy materials…
"After unanimous discussion among all the students, we have elected you as class monitor," Jin Yuanbao said.
"Class monitor, forget it. I don't have the leisure to meddle in so many things." Qin Xin pursed his lips helplessly. He just wanted to cultivate alone and didn't want to cause himself too much trouble.
"It's nothing, it's just a title. I'm the vice class monitor, I'll handle things in the class."
Jin Yuanbao chuckled, clearly indicating that becoming the deputy class monitor had brought him many benefits.
"Whatever you want. I'm going to check out the Spirit Forging Tower. Do you want to come with me?"
Qin Xin said calmly.
Qin Xin had long heard of the Spirit Forging Tower in the outer courtyard, but he had never had the chance to visit it. So, taking advantage of the points he had, he wanted to give it a try.
"Yeah, that's exactly what I've been wanting to do for a while now."
Jin Yuanbao nodded in agreement and followed Qin Xin as they traversed the Beast Martial Academy.
The two attracted a lot of attention along the way, and it seemed that everyone was talking about Qin Xin. In this class ranking competition, Qin Xin's name has been thoroughly made known among the new students, and even some of the older students admire his courage.
"Qin Xin, some of the higher-ranked classes have returned from missions outside the academy, and they might come looking for trouble with you."
Jin Yuanbao looked at these gazes and said with some concern.
"It's alright."
Qin Xin replied.
The two walked through the academy for more than ten minutes before arriving at the foot of a building with a towering giant tower.
The Spirit Forging Tower is located in the outer courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, at the intersection of the Beast Martial Arts Academy, the Earth Martial Arts Academy, and the Weapon Martial Arts Academy. Surrounded by mountains, it feels as if one is in a canyon.
The Spirit Forging Tower seems to be buried underground, making it impossible to see its entirety. All that is known is that it has six levels, with the first level at the top and the sixth level at the bottom.
Several Qi Sea Realm elders from the outer academy of the Eastern Wilderness Academy guard the Spirit Forging Tower, and these elders rotate daily.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Spirit Forging Tower, Qin Xin handed his identity token to the elder of the outer academy. This elder was wearing a gray academy robe with a longsword badge on his chest, clearly indicating that he was an elder of the Weaponry Academy.
"Go in!"
As the elder swept his hand across the token, five points immediately disappeared from Qin Xin's identity token, as did the gold ingot behind him. Qin Xin then stepped into the Spirit Forging Tower.
"boom!"
The moment Qin Xin stepped into the Spirit Forging Tower, he froze on the spot. The wood and fire attribute true energy in his martial core became extremely violent, constantly surging through his body.
Some students inside the Spirit Forging Tower watched this scene from the sidelines.
"It seems to be their first time entering the Spirit Forging Tower."
"Isn't this Qin Xin, the troublemaker among the new recruits?"
"I wonder how long he can withstand the spiritual energy tides of this Spirit Forging Tower."
People around them started talking about it.
The unique feature of the Spirit Forging Tower is that it generates a kind of mental tide, forging the martial artist's body like a spiritual weapon. This not only allows the martial artist's internal energy to circulate rapidly, making the energy more refined, but also strengthens the martial artist's physical body.
However, being in the spiritual energy tide for a long time will cause the martial artist's mind to be highly tense, which will make the martial artist feel physically and mentally exhausted. If they do not leave quickly, they may even suffer from qi deviation. Generally, students will choose to leave after cultivating in the Spirit Forging Tower for a few days, rest and recuperate before entering again. However, if they have a Mind-Clearing Pill, they can avoid these troubles and extend the time they can spend cultivating in the Spirit Forging Tower.
