The night on the main peak of Kunmen was so quiet it was almost profound.
Silver moonlight spilled into the courtyard, and a young man stood with his hands behind his back by the window, radiating warmth to ward off the night's chill.
After returning to Kunmen, Ye Langtian took his leave and went to Nanfeng.
After the two of them were left alone, the journey became somewhat awkward. For some reason, Shui Qingxi seemed to get angry for no apparent reason. No matter how Qin Xin tried to break the awkward atmosphere, she completely ignored him and returned directly to her cave.
"Women are such strange creatures!" Qin Xin sighed helplessly.
After closing the door and walking to the bed, Qin Xin felt a ripple pass between his fingers, and the Heavenly Wind Futon appeared in his hand. Feeling the warm breath emanating from it, a smile appeared on Qin Xin's lips.
Sitting cross-legged on the Heavenly Phoenix Futon, Qin Xin's figure appeared in the futon's space with a thought.
After the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern devoured the Yang Fire Seed, it directly activated the first Nirvana of the Heavenly Phoenix Nine Nirvanas, which allowed Qin Xin to condense a Flame Armor. However, because it would consume a huge amount of true energy, Qin Xin dared not use it lightly.
Upon approaching the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg, Qin Xin noticed that the eggshell, which was surrounded by a five-colored mist, now had some golden patterns. Upon closer inspection, these patterns were extremely similar to the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit patterns on Qin Xin's Martial Spirit.
Out of curiosity, Qin Xin reached out and touched the ancient phoenix egg.
Instantly, flames rose from the eggshell, as if in self-protection.
"puff!"
As the flames surged fiercely, Qin Xin felt as if the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit patterns on his Martial Spirit were operating on their own, merging with the patterns on the shell of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix egg.
He felt his internal energy vanish instantly, while the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg was surrounded by orange flames, which were remarkably similar to the seed of Yang Fire.
To avoid any accidents, Qin Xin quickly withdrew his hand, and the automatic operation of the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern stopped.
"This..." Qin Xin looked at the eggshell that was emitting orange flames with a puzzled expression.
"That's right, it's symbiosis. It seems this ancient celestial phoenix considers you one of its own kind." Danqing's somewhat ethereal figure floated out, hands clasped behind his back, and he stood to the side, saying, "The ancient celestial phoenix clan only produces one member every few thousand years. They are born as divine beasts, but to be born requires immense power. To hatch the ancient celestial phoenix egg, all the ancient celestial phoenixes must contribute their own power. Over time, this symbiotic relationship has emerged. Of course, it is precisely through this unique connection that the ancient celestial phoenix clan has become stronger together."
"Teacher, will this kind of contact have any impact on me?" Qin Xin voiced his concerns.
Danqing smiled lightly and said, "It has no impact whatsoever. On the contrary, it is a great opportunity for you. You must know how powerful the ancient Heavenly Phoenix is. This symbiotic relationship is very different from the master-servant contract signed between divine beasts and martial artists. Once the master-servant contract is signed, neither the spirit beast nor the divine beast will have any room for advancement. But this symbiotic relationship is different. It has no impact on the divine beast or the spirit beast itself. Moreover, when fighting together, you can sense the other's situation."
After hearing Danqing's explanation, Qin Xin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the ancient phoenix egg again. At this moment, orange patterns appeared on the egg's surface.
After observing it for a while, Qin Xin found that only the patterns on the ancient phoenix egg had changed, and the flames burning it had the smell of yang fire. There were no other unusual changes. However, Qin Xin dared not touch it again, for fear that the ancient phoenix egg would directly drain the true energy in his body.
With a thought, Qin Xin and Dan Qing left the futon space together.
After swallowing a few Qi-restoring pills, he slowly recovered the true energy that had been absorbed from his martial core by the ancient phoenix egg.
Under Danqing's supervision, Qin Xin then refined several batches of Five Elements Condensing True Pills. Throughout the process, Danqing remained silent, patiently observing each step of Qin Xin's alchemy process, occasionally shaking his head or nodding, and occasionally letting out sounds of doubt or surprise.
After Qin Xin's internal energy was completely depleted again, he stopped refining pills, swallowed a few Qi-restoring pills, and his internal energy slowly recovered.
Qin Xin slowly opened his brown eyes, and what he saw was Dan Qing's somewhat kind smiling face.
"Not bad. Although there are still some flaws in the refining process, it seems that this mysterious fragment of the diagram has brought you a lot of benefits." Danqing stroked his slightly graying beard and said with satisfaction, "However, your current achievements in alchemy are mainly due to the good teaching of your master, haha."
Hearing Danqing's self-praise, Qin Xin couldn't help but roll his eyes.
After a period of cultivation, Qin Xin felt his internal energy becoming increasingly abundant, and he could vaguely sense the location of the eighth acupoint.
"Could it be because of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg?" Qin Xin wondered. For more than half a month, he had been refining pills, making his internal energy more and more refined, but he still could not sense the location of the eighth true aperture. Now that he came out of the futon space, the location of the eighth true aperture automatically appeared.
Although he could sense the location of the eighth true aperture, Qin Xin was still unable to condense the eighth true aperture based on the current concentration of true qi in his body.
"I wonder if my current body, having already mastered the second level of the Desolate God Battle Body, can withstand the medicinal power of this Five Elements Condensing Aperture Pill." Qin Xin thought to himself, gazing at the smooth, pale green Five Elements True Aperture Pill in his hand.
Danqing seemed to sense Qin Xin's worried expression and immediately guessed his thoughts, "It's just the Five Elements Condensing True Pill, an ordinary fourth-grade low-level pill. If your body can't even withstand this, then what's the point of cultivating?"
Upon hearing Danqing's voice, Qin Xin pursed his lips. After all, this pill was used by martial artists in the Qi Sea Realm, and he was only at the seventh level of the Opening Aperture Realm. Therefore, he was worried that forcibly swallowing this pill would cause the true meridians and apertures in his body to be directly burst by the powerful medicinal force.
Upon hearing Danqing's words, Qin Xin was overjoyed and swallowed a Five Elements Condensing True Pill without any hesitation.
As soon as the pill entered the body, it seemed to vaporize, and the medicinal power instantly spread to the five internal organs. Under the refinement of the enormous medicinal power, the powerful true energy instantly filled the true meridians and true acupoints in the body. Even the Firewood Martial Pill was now surging with true energy, constantly merging. The fourth drop of true liquid instantly condensed into shape, followed by the fifth and sixth drops slowly appearing.
"It's time!"
When Qin Xin sensed a special spot above the martial pill where true energy was rotating, his eyes suddenly darkened.
The six drops of true liquid that had been condensed, mixed with fire and wood true energy, surged toward that special place in an instant.
"call!"
After the true liquid poured in, the massive flow of true energy directly stirred up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the outside world. If it weren't for the cover provided by the cave's formation, this peculiar phenomenon would probably have been noticed by everyone in the Kun Sect.
Shui Qingxi, Qin Xue, and the others, who were living in the pavilion, suddenly felt the strange fluctuations coming from the side courtyard. Without even changing out of their pajamas, they rushed to the side courtyard.
"Sister Qingxi, should we go and see? How can Qin Xin's cultivation be so terrifying? He's only at the Opening Aperture Realm, but the commotion is like that of a Qi Sea Realm martial artist breaking through." Looking at the surging spiritual energy in the side courtyard, Qin Xue was somewhat worried.
Shui Qingxi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. The surge of spiritual energy stirred up a gentle breeze, causing her thin gauze dress to flutter. Her alabaster skin shimmered with starlight under the silver moonlight.
"Perhaps it's because he's a Firewood Martial Core cultivator," Shui Qingxi guessed as she stopped Qin Xue from entering.
A martial artist who cultivates two attributes will naturally have a greater capacity for true qi than a martial artist who only cultivates a single attribute. However, the fact that a breakthrough to the Qi Opening Realm can cause fluctuations comparable to those of a Qi Sea Realm martial artist is something Shui Qingxi has never seen before.
At this moment, Qin Xin was completely unaware of the situation outside. When he was condensing the eighth True Aperture, Qin Xin could clearly feel that it was extremely difficult to condense this True Aperture. Although the True Qi in his body was constantly gathering towards the location of the True Aperture, it was like a drop in the ocean, and all the True Qi that entered was completely consumed.
Ignoring the difficulty of condensing the true liquid, Qin Xin directly integrated all six drops of true liquid into the location of the eighth true acupoint, thus forming a true energy vortex.
"Waaah!"
The continuous rotation of the true energy produced a whistling sound.
