After my Daoist partners broke off their engagement, they pledged their loyalty to me!

Tao Yi and Ling Xue quickly dispersed.

They each guarded one side of the valley, their spiritual senses spreading out, alert to any potential danger.

Jiang Lin found a flat boulder and sat down.

He took out two Thunder Spirit Fruits, held them in his hands, took a deep breath, and began to circulate the Thunder Heart Sutra.

The pure energy of the Thunder Spirit Fruit was slowly absorbed into the body, flowing along the nine spiritual meridians to the dantian, and then spreading to the limbs and bones, continuously nourishing the novice Thunder Spirit Body.

Jiang Lin could clearly sense it.

This freshly picked Thunder Spirit Fruit has a higher purity of energy than the Thunder Spirit Fruit Elder Miao Qi gave him before!

The Thunder Spirit within him is undergoing a rapid transformation.

The body made a slight "clicking" sound.

The spiritual veins seem to have been widened by lightning-attribute energy.

Physical strength is slowly increasing.

As the energy of the third Thunder Spirit Fruit was completely absorbed, Jiang Lin's Thunder Spirit Body suddenly erupted, and blue-purple lightning shot into the sky, enveloping his figure.

"Master, this..."

The newly arrived female sword slave, Ling Xue, stared wide-eyed in astonishment at this scene.

"Looks like you guessed it too." Tao Yi crossed her arms and glanced at Ling Xue. "Our master actually possesses a special physique that is one in ten thousand among cultivators."

"That's right!" Ling Xue nodded emphatically, a look of surprise in her eyes: "And judging from this, it's an extremely strong lightning attribute physique among special physiques."

A special physique is something all cultivators dream of.

Most of these abilities are innate; only a very few cultivators can awaken them through fortuitous encounters.

With the same talent and comprehension, even a spiritual being has a much higher potential than a mortal cultivator.

It's just a pity that special talents are too rare.

Neither Tao Yi nor Ling Xue possesses this quality.

Those talented disciples with special abilities will sooner or later rise to fame within the sect.

For example, Lin Yueshuang from the Three Swords Sect where Ling Xue belongs, and some inner disciples from the Misty Holy Land where Tao Yi belongs.

In her view, if even some inner disciples could possess a spiritual body, then those who became holy sons and daughters in the Misty Holy Land were even more likely to do so.

Their special physiques have played an indispensable role in enabling them to achieve their current status and cultivation level.

Tao Yi and Ling Xue passed the time, marveling at their master Jiang Lin's talent.

I don't know how much time passed.

As the lightning subsided, Jiang Lin slowly opened his eyes.

A glint of blue light flashed in his eyes.

in vivo……

The lightning-attribute spiritual energy fluctuations were several times stronger than before.

The Elementary Thunder Spirit Body has successfully advanced to the Intermediate level!

The body's affinity for lightning-attribute spiritual power has greatly increased, the speed of spiritual power circulation has doubled, and the physical strength has been significantly enhanced!

Feeling the surging power within his body, Jiang Lin felt a surge of joy; this trip to the Northern Wilderness Realm had truly been worthwhile.

The power of a medium-level lightning spirit far surpasses that of a primary-level one.

His actual combat strength has increased by more than one level.

Jiang Lin tried to absorb the fourth Thunder Spirit Fruit, but found that his body was already saturated with the energy it needed to absorb.

To break through to the advanced level of Thunder Spirit Body, one needs even stronger stimulation from thunder-attribute treasures.

Jiang Lin sighed softly, "Well, it seems that if I want to break through to the advanced level of the Thunder Spirit Body, I can only find a higher-level thunder attribute treasure."

After breaking through to the Thunder Spirit Body realm, Jiang Lin used the remaining Thunder Spirit Fruits to break through to the Yuan Dan realm.

This breakthrough took another hour.

After using two Thunder Spirit Fruits, Jiang Lin successfully condensed his Thunder Attribute Yuan Dan within his dantian.

Successfully broken through to the early stage of the Yuan Dan realm!

Others break through to the Yuan Dan realm with at most one third-tier treasure, while Jiang Lin used two fifth-tier treasures to break through.

This is partly due to talent for cultivation, and partly due to a solid foundation in cultivation.

He relied on elixirs to improve his strength, so his cultivation level should have been somewhat unstable. However, the elixirs he consumed were all synthesized through the Chaos Furnace and filled with chaotic energy, so there was no problem of his cultivation level being unstable.

In addition, he awakened the Thunder Spirit Body.

This further consolidated the foundation and physical condition.

Therefore, his cultivation level was as stable as it could possibly be.

A pale blue bead floats in the air.

There was a faint, barely noticeable crack on the bead. Jiang Lin examined it for a while, then pulled it into his stomach with his finger.

This is his natal essence!

Because his spiritual power is of the lightning attribute, the attribute of his natal essence is also lightning.

The task of cultivators at the Meridian Opening Realm is to open up the nine spiritual meridians in their bodies, while cultivators at the Core Formation Realm focus on strengthening their Core Formation.

When a crack appears on the Yuan Dan (original core) in the body, it indicates that the Yuan Dan realm has stabilized at the early stage. When a second crack appears, it indicates the middle stage. When a third crack appears, it indicates the late stage.

That's when you should prepare to break through to the Qi Sea Realm.

Jiang Lin stood up, and Tao Yi and Ling Xue quickly stepped forward: "Congratulations, Master, on your successful breakthrough!"

Especially the female sword slave Ling Xue.

Her spiritual power is also of the lightning attribute.

She can also absorb the Thunder Spirit Fruit!

After breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm, Jiang Lin's strength increased significantly. He looked at Ling Xue, the female sword slave kneeling on one knee, and asked indifferently, "How well have you consolidated your late-stage Yuan Dan realm cultivation?"

Ling Xue was taken aback, then secretly delighted, and quickly said, "Reporting to Master, I have been stuck in the Yuan Dan Realm for half a year. As long as the opportunity comes, I may break through to the Qi Sea Realm at any time."

Jiang Lin has just absorbed five Thunder Spirit Fruits, and there are four Thunder Spirit Fruits left.

Judging from this, it seems they're preparing to let her absorb it?

"Alright, then these three Thunder Spirit Fruits are yours."

"Try to break through your limits."

Jiang Lin took out three Thunder Spirit Fruits.

Although she had guessed it in her heart, Ling Xue was still extremely surprised when Jiang Lin actually took out three Thunder Spirit Fruits.

It wasn't until Tao Yi nudged her with her elbow that she snapped out of her daze and immediately knelt down, saying, "Thank you for the gift, Master!"

Soon Ling Xue sat cross-legged and began her breakthrough.

She was right. At the late stage of the Yuan Dan realm, his cultivation was perfectly stable. All he needed was enough lightning-attribute spiritual power to stimulate her.

There are now three Thunder Spirit Fruits.

That's enough energy for a thrill.

This breakthrough continued until nightfall.

Ling Xue, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up, and a surge of spiritual energy from her body far exceeded that of the Yuan Dan realm.

她成功了！

Successfully broken through to the Qi Sea Realm!

"Master, I have successfully broken through!"

Ling Xue's voice was excited. Her ultimate goal in entering the Northern Wilderness Realm this time was to break through to the Qi Sea Realm.

I didn't expect it to be finished so soon.

Jiang Lin nodded. There was one Thunder Spirit Fruit left out of the nine. The eight Thunder Spirit Fruits that had been used had had remarkable effects.

He looked out of the valley: "Let's leave this place first, find a place to stay and rest, and continue exploring the Northern Wilderness tomorrow morning."

The two replied in unison, "We will obey our master's orders!"

Three figures emerged from the valley and sped towards the depths of the Northern Wilderness, leaving behind a desolate battlefield and the Thunder Spirit Fruit tree that had lost its fruit.

Soon, night fell.

The three of them found a dry cave and went inside. That night, Ling Xue and Tao Yi served Jiang Lin at the same time.

Of course, we should let Ling Xue use up her second dual cultivation opportunity of the day first.

Thanks to his dual cultivation experience under the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree, Jiang Lin now occasionally stimulates the energy of his Thunder Spirit Body during dual cultivation.

At this moment, Ling Xue would tremble uncontrollably.

This feeling was even more exhilarating than when I used a long whip to discipline Zhang Zishuang!

After Ling Xue contributed 150 points of Chaos Energy, Tao Yi, who had been waiting impatiently, quickly came over.

"Master, master, it's my turn!"

Seeing Ling Xue's expression, she really wanted to experience it too!

Regardless of who it was, Jiang Lin slapped them hard across the face and said sternly, "Lie down properly!"

"..."

On this day, before the morning mist had completely dissipated in the Northern Wilderness, three figures sped through the dense forest; they were Jiang Lin, Tao Yi, and Ling Xue.

Over the past three days, the three of them have ventured deeper into the land, and all the spirit beasts they encountered were killed by the two women working together, with their spirit cores collected.

Jiang Lin, on the other hand, didn't have to lift a finger throughout the entire process.

It only occasionally uses its spiritual sense to explore its surroundings.

When they encounter reckless rogue cultivators or disciples from small sects who dare to attack them, Tao Yi's Netherworld Claws tear through their defenses, while Ling Xue's Thunderclap Sword Technique strikes their vital points.

After defeating the opponent, take their storage bag with you.

Occasionally, Jiang Lin would also take action against third-tier spirit beasts.

Feeling the surging spiritual power of the early stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, he thought to himself, "The third-tier spirit beast that I had to use all my strength to deal with when I was in the Tong Mai Realm can now be killed with ease."

His increased spiritual energy reserves and spiritual awareness at the Yuan Dan realm brought about a qualitative change in his combat power, further enhancing the power of the Nine Starfall Arrows. However…

A third-tier life form was no longer enough for him to use the Nine Arrows of Starfall. The high-level archery skills of the Xuan rank could unleash a power in his hands that was enough to threaten a fourth-tier life form.

noon.

Suddenly, a dense roar of beasts came from the forest ahead.

A massive horde of spirit beasts swept in, primarily first and second-tier beasts, interspersed with third-tier beasts.

This was the group of spirit beasts that the three of them had finally found.

"Attack!" Jiang Lin gave the order, and Tao Yi and Ling Xue darted out at the same time.

Ling Xue unleashed her lightning spiritual power at the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm.

The Thunderclap Sword Technique transformed into streaks of lightning, causing first-tier spirit beasts to fall to the ground wherever it passed, their spirit cores being casually collected.

Tao Yi's ghostly claws glowed with an eerie light.

Targeting the vital points of second-tier spirit beasts, the claws swept across, instantly killing the spirit beasts and accurately storing their spirit cores in the storage bag.

Three third-tier spirit beasts pounced on Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin stood still, calm and composed.

Ling Xue turned her sword as she charged forward, condensing her lightning spiritual power into sword energy, and forcefully cleaved a third-tier spirit beast in two.

Tao Yi sidestepped the claws of a third-tier spirit beast, then swung her claw back and pierced the jaw of another third-tier spirit beast, crushing its throat with ruthless and swift movements.

Watching the two female slaves work together cleanly and efficiently, Jiang Lin nodded with satisfaction.

Look how convenient this is! I don't even have to lift a finger.

Jiang Lin's spiritual sense enveloped the entire area, occasionally flicking his finger to release a burst of lightning spiritual power, knocking away any fish that managed to get close.

Compared to when he was in the Meridian Opening Realm, when killing a third-tier spirit beast required a great deal of mental effort, he can now easily control the battle situation in the Core Formation Realm.

Half an hour later.

The spirit beast herd was completely wiped out, the ground was covered with spirit beast corpses, and spirit cores piled up like mountains.

Jiang Lin put the first-tier spirit cores into the jade slip space given to him by Huangfu Yuning one by one, and put the second-tier and third-tier spirit cores into his storage bag.

"I wonder if there are enough first-tier spirit cores to fill the space," Jiang Lin muttered to himself.

There are more than 360 first-order spirit cores.

He felt that Huangfu Yuning's assignment of such a strange task to the disciples of the Misty Holy Land was probably for a different purpose.

As for what this universe actually is, he doesn't know yet, so he decides to fill the jade slip space with a first-tier spirit core first.

The mission didn't specify the number of Tier 1 spirit cores, so surely he can just fill it up without any problem!

The moment the three hundredth first-order spirit core fell into the jade slip, the jade slip suddenly burst out with a soft golden light and floated in mid-air.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Lin was not surprised but rather pleased.

"Something's definitely fishy!"

It seems his deduction was indeed correct!
