With my nine meridians taken away, I will prove my invincibility with the Demon Seed!

Huo Gang lay drunk on the ground, talking nonsense.

After a moment, he sat up unsteadily, took out a crystal-clear, rhomboid-shaped stone from his storage ring, and put it into Qin Yi's hand.

"Fourth brother, the others all have backgrounds in the Desolate Heaven Domain and don't lack cultivation resources, but you are different. You grew up in the Desolate Ancient Continent. Even if you receive the highest level of attention, the cultivation resources you can access are very limited."

"This is a star stone. Take it. It will be of great help to your star formation for condensing your star body."

Holding the starstone, Qin Yi immediately sensed the abundant stellar power within it. He guessed it was extraordinary and said, "Brother, this is too precious, I cannot accept it..."

As they spoke, they were about to return the star stone to Huo Gang.

Huo Gang stood up instantly, angrily shouting, "If you don't accept it, you're disowning me as your elder brother!"

"Fourth Brother, please accept it. My brother has already condensed a perfect Star Array, so this Star Stone is no longer of much use to him." Huo Siyu walked over.

"Also, I'll give Fourth Brother a gift."

Huo Siyu took out a box and handed it to Qin Yi, saying, "If you don't accept it, it means you don't acknowledge me as your fifth sister!"

Qin Yi could only take the box, open it, and see that inside was a stack of papers that looked like ordinary banknotes.

"Fourth Brother, these are crystal tickets."

"Crystal tickets can be used anywhere in the Desolate Sky Domain, or they can be exchanged for Yuan Crystals at certain designated locations."

"I don't have anything good to offer, so I can only give you 200,000 crystal tickets. I hope you won't find it too much."

Qin Yi: "..."

One hundred Yuan Stones on the Desolate Ancient Continent are equivalent to one Yuan Crystal in the Desolate Heaven Domain.

The 200,000 crystal tickets that Huo Siyu gave him were equivalent to 20 million yuan stones.

This is what Huo Siyu meant by "nothing good"?

"Fourth brother, I have a bottle of pills here called the Three Pure Spiritual Aperture Pills. They are considered the most suitable pills for Nirvana Realm martial artists to use for cultivation in the Desolate Heaven Domain. However, I used three of them before, and there are seven left. Please don't mind them!" Bai Jing handed Qin Yi a jade bottle for storing pills.

The Bai family, to which Bai Jing belongs, is not as powerful as the Huo family, to which Huo Gang and Huo Siyu belong. The value of these seven Sanqing Lingqiao Pills is not comparable to that one star stone and two hundred thousand crystal tickets, but for a Nirvana Realm martial artist, they are indeed very good cultivation resources.

Moreover, the method of refining the Three Pure Spiritual Aperture Pill is in the hands of a few people. Such pills are in short supply, and even some well-known forces find it difficult to buy them.

"Fourth brother, as your second sister, I'll give you a talisman," Qiu Ping said with a smile.

She handed Qin Yi a talisman whose surface was covered with runes.

A drunken Huo Gang exclaimed in surprise, "The Qiu family's Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman?"

Qiu Ping was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother, you've misread it. This isn't a Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman, it's a Hundred-Mile Teleportation Talisman..."

Huo Siyu's eyes lit up as she said, "Even a mere Hundred-Mile Teleportation Talisman is incredibly precious. Using this talisman allows one to instantly teleport a hundred miles away—a true life-saving treasure!"

"Using the Hundred-Mile Teleportation Talisman requires specific techniques. Fourth Brother's ability to condense a portion of the Star Array proves he has talent in talisman arrays. I will now pass on to you the secret technique to activate this talisman!"

Qiu Ping formed a hand seal, condensing a wisp of spiritual energy imprint. As she flicked her fingers, this wisp of spiritual energy imprint flew to Qin Yi's brow.

With a thought, Qin Yi absorbed Qiu Ping's spiritual imprint and obtained the secret method to activate the Hundred-Mile Teleportation Talisman.

According to Master Ding, his Shrinking Earth to an Inch Divine Skill, as it is continuously enhanced, will also have the effect of teleportation, but it is still far from being perfect... Even if he masters teleportation, there is still a long way to go before he can teleport a hundred miles.

Qin Yi accepted Huo Gang's star stones, Huo Siyu's crystal tickets, Bai Jing's pills, and Qiu Ping's talismans. He looked at the four of them with a complicated expression and said, "Big brother, second sister, third sister, fifth sister, you have given me such valuable things, but I..."

Huo Gang chuckled and said, "If you feel bad about it, then I have a solution."

"Please speak, brother," Qin Yi said.

Huo Gang: "Call me 'Big Brother' louder!"

Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Big Brother!"

"That feels good!" Huo Gang laughed.

Qiu Ping asked, "And me?"

Qin Yi turned to face Qiu Ping, cupping his hands in greeting: "Second Sister!"

Qiu Ping laughed, "It's just a talisman; I've traded it for a good younger brother. I've made a profit!"

"Third Sister," Qin Yi greeted Bai Jing with a cupped-hand salute.

Bai Jing nodded and said, "He's handsome, has a great temperament, and such a nice voice. Remember to greet him whenever you see him, okay?"

"Hmm." Qin Yi then looked at Huo Siyu: "Fifth Sister."

Huo Siyu smiled sweetly and said, "Fourth Brother, don't forget to teach me swordsmanship when you have time!"

far away.

Du Hua, lying on the ground severely injured, was still groaning. He was wondering why time was passing so slowly. Why hadn't Protector Liao and the messengers come in yet?

If no one comes to treat his wounds soon, he fears he will bleed to death...

Another quarter of an hour passed.

The great formation that sealed off the Valley of Heartbreak suddenly trembled, unleashing beams of light that blasted towards different areas.

Wherever these beams of light fell, there were scattered demonic cultivators hidden.

The power of the grand formation was used for the final clearing. Immediately afterwards, Liao Shanhe, the protector of the Starry Sky Palace, as well as envoys such as Tian Bugui and Zhang Lu, entered the grand formation and appeared in front of Qin Yi and the others.

"Old Liao, come here, come here, let me tell you something..."

Still under the influence of alcohol, Huo Gang staggered toward Liao Shanhe and even reached out to put his hand on Liao Shanhe's shoulder.

Liao Shanhe's lips twitched, and with a surge of his aura, he sent Huo Gang flying.

Huo Gang, who was lying on the ground, was sobered up by Liao Shanhe's scent. He quickly stood up and smiled awkwardly at Liao Shanhe, saying, "Protector Liao, I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time..."

Liao Shanhe had a speechless expression on his face.

Next, the geniuses scattered in different areas of the Valley of Heartbreak gathered in front of Liao Shanhe.

During this three-day expedition, 35 people died and 48 people abstained.

Without a doubt, first place belongs to Qin Yi.

Huo Gang ranked second, and Qiu Ping ranked third.

Bai Jing ranked fourth, and Huo Siyu ranked eighth.

As for Du Hua, she didn't even make the top ten.

Liao Shanhe's gaze swept over the young man in front of him, and he said, "There are a total of one hundred spots available for joining the Starry Sky Palace in this assessment."

"The top one hundred are all formal junior disciples of the Starry Sky Palace."

"Those ranked 100th to 150th can also go to the Starry Sky Palace and temporarily become registered disciples."

"Furthermore, those who rank in the top three will receive targeted rewards from the Starry Sky Palace's higher-ups, based on their individual performance!"

"Next, I will be returning to the Starry Sky Palace. Those who can go directly to the Starry Sky Palace, please come with me. If there are still some matters that need to be dealt with, I will give you a maximum of one month. After that, you can go to the Desolate Sky Domain on your own."

After Liao Shanhe finished speaking, a group of people immediately made a decision to head directly to the Desolate Heaven Domain.

Qin Yi reported the situation, stating that he would not be going to the Desolate Heaven Domain for the time being.

Out of respect for Qin Yi, Liao Shanhe asked the envoy Tian Bugui to stay behind and wait until Qin Yi's business was completed before Tian Bugui would take Qin Yi into the Desolate Heaven Domain.

After all, he's number one!

It's normal to give them special treatment.

Soon, the group left the Valley of Heartbreak.

After bidding farewell to Huo Gang and the others, Qin Yi was led by Tian Bugui back to Tianxing Martial Academy as quickly as possible.

Tian Bugui's power transformed into a soft light, enveloping Qin Yi's body and soaring through the high sky.

"Qin Yi, you've given me a huge surprise!"

"I knew you'd pass the test, but I never expected you to take first place so decisively!"

"Next, you will be going to a wider world and experiencing a more magnificent life. Are you... ready?"

A fierce, passionate light shone in Qin Yi's eyes.

At the same time, there was also an incomparably cold killing intent emanating from it.

"Tianjizi... I will definitely find you, and then I will drag those six bastards who stole the essence of my body out of the ground and take back everything that belongs to me!"
