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

With enough Three Pure Spiritual Aperture Pills and a large amount of Yuan Crystals, Qin Yi's cultivation level improved rapidly.

In just three days, he had already refined nine Sanqing Lingqiao Pills, averaging three a day. In addition, he had absorbed a large amount of energy from the Yuan Crystals. As a result, Qin Yi's cultivation level broke through to the ninth level of the Nirvana Realm.

After breaking through to the ninth level of the Nirvana Realm, Qin Yi circulated his internal energy through a full cycle, and then transmitted his voice to Master Ding: "Master Ding, I'm coming in."

"Come in," Ding Ye's voice echoed in Qin Yi's mind.

The next instant, Qin Yi felt a dizzying sensation as he entered the inner world of the cauldron.

"Master Ding, please strike with your sword again using my current strength, so I can have a reference point," Qin Yi said.

He wanted to see how far his current understanding of swordsmanship was from Master Ding's requirements.

"Mm," Master Ding replied.

The next moment, a force snatched the Tianjun Sword from Qin Yi's hand, as if an invisible hand had grasped the hilt and slashed the ground with it!

In an instant, a straight crack appeared on the ground, more than 150 feet long and 7 feet deep. Moreover, the two sides of the crack were smooth and flat, as if they had been carefully polished.

Immediately afterwards, the Tianjun Sword flew back into Qin Yi's hand.

Looking at the traces left by Master Ding, Qin Yi took a deep breath!

Suddenly, a sword slashed out!

Golden Extreme Instantaneous Sword!

In an instant, a crack more than 120 feet long and 5 feet deep was cleaved in the ground. Although the sides of the crack were relatively flat, they were not as smooth as a mirror.

"The gap is still quite large..." Qin Yi muttered to himself, then continued to swing his sword!

Sword after sword, cleaving cracks in the ground.

During the sixth sword strike.

Qin Yi has finally triggered the state of man and sword as one!

The power of this sword strike increased dramatically, splitting the ground into a crack that was 150 feet long and 7 feet deep. However, the sides of the crack were still not smooth enough!

Qin Yi was not discouraged; he was already quite satisfied. In the state of perfect harmony between man and sword, he was not far from meeting Master Ding's requirements.

Of course, his unity of man and sword is still very unstable.

On average, it takes one out of ten sword strikes to trigger!

Then, Qin Yi practiced his sword skills inside the cauldron!

The sword technique he was practicing was the mid-grade Heaven-rank sword technique he had obtained some time ago in the second level of the Sword Cave in the Starry Sky Palace: the Twelve Swords of Spirit Concealment!

Although this set of sword techniques is far inferior in grade to his Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique, Qin Yi still wants to practice it. His purpose in doing so is to increase his understanding of the way of the sword.

Qin Yi's swordsmanship foundation is already very solid, and with the addition of the Limitless Sword Body, the Twelve Swords of the Spirit Hidden are not difficult for him.

He successfully mastered the skill in just one hour.

Half a day later, he had already achieved a minor success.

One day later, the Twelve Swords of Lingyin were mastered.

It took a little longer to go from mastery to perfection, but it only took two days.

Qin Yi mastered the sword technique, hailed as the strongest among the mid-grade Heavenly Rank techniques in the Starry Sky Palace, in just three and a half days. This speed is truly astonishing!

"Actually, the Twelve Swords of Lingyin are the most suitable for me now... With my current cultivation level, using the five sword techniques that are split from the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique feels like a small horse pulling a large cart."

"After all, the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique, a Saint-level sword technique, even if broken down into five sets of sword techniques, would all be at the top-grade Heaven-level!"

"If it weren't for the Five Elemental Sacred Veins, which have reached the level of a supreme Sacred Body, even with my solid foundation of power, I wouldn't be able to unleash a top-grade Heaven-rank sword technique at all!"

During Qin Yi's cultivation of the Twelve Swords of Lingyin, his progress in achieving oneness with the sword also advanced by two steps!

Now, on average, it takes eight sword strikes to trigger the state of man and sword as one.

"Your foundation in swordsmanship is already sufficient, so there's no need to force yourself to formally enter that state of oneness with the sword as soon as possible." Master Ding's voice echoed throughout the world.

The stunningly beautiful woman in the white dress was actually right next to Qin Yi, but she had concealed herself, so Qin Yi couldn't see her at all.

She had deliberately raised the bar a bit to put some pressure on Qin Yi. In fact, Qin Yi had done a good enough job recently, and she couldn't find any fault with him.

Now, they're worried that setting too high a goal for Qin Yi might cause him to get bogged down...

Qin Yi said, "Master Ding, I know you're trying to comfort me, but I don't need comfort. What I need is encouragement. Just push me hard!"

The stunningly beautiful woman in the white dress: "..."

Qin Yi suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Master Ding, I am currently at the ninth level of the Nirvana Realm, and I am about to achieve the Dharma Achievement. Do you have any good suggestions regarding the Dharma Achievement?"

Li Zheng mentioned this a few days ago.

Qin Yi wanted to hear what Master Ding had to say.

The stunning woman in the white dress flashed her eyes and said, "To condense a Dharma image, a visualization diagram is needed, and each visualization diagram needs to be formed by combining the energy of heaven and earth."

"Although I have the ability to create a batch of visualization diagrams for you at will, the visualization diagrams I give you cannot contain the energy of the outside world, so they are useless to you."

"You should first check if the Starry Sky Palace has a suitable visualization diagram. If not, I'll think of something else."

Qin Yi hummed in agreement and said, "Okay, I understand."

"So, Mr. Ding, you can't leave here, right?"

If one could leave the inner world of the cauldron, then Master Ding would not have said that the visualization diagram he created could not contain the energy of the outside world.

The stunning woman in the white dress remained silent for a moment: "It's not that we can't go out, it's just that the price to pay for going out is a bit too high."

Qin Yi wanted to find out more about what was going on with Master Ding.

Suddenly, Master Ding reminded him, "Someone is looking for you."

With a thought, Qin Yi immediately withdrew from the inner world of the cauldron.

.........

"Junior Brother Qin, I knocked on the door for so long before you finally came out. Tell me honestly, was there a woman hiding inside?" Zhang Miaomiao teased Qin Yi, staring at him.

Qin Yi: "...Senior Sister Miaomiao has really misunderstood me. I'm all alone here."

Zhang Miaomiao's expression immediately turned serious. She said, "You're all alone... then you need to be even more restrained. You've seen the president's condition; don't end up like him, making yourself so weak!"

Qin Yi was both amused and exasperated, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Senior Sister Miaomiao, is there something you need?"

Zhang Miaomiao laughed and said, "Brothers, let's go fight!"

"Let's go!" Qin Yi immediately walked outside.

Zhang Miaomiao quickly grabbed Qin Yi's arm and said, "Aren't you going to ask who they're dealing with?"

Qin Yi said, "Being brothers means keeping it in our hearts. No need for so many questions, just do it!"

Last time, the brothers helped him fight against the Xuan Guang Alliance, Yi Zi Tang, and the Flying Eagle Squad. Before Li Zheng showed up, the Brotherhood was at a clear disadvantage, but none of the brothers backed down.

Therefore, Qin Yi naturally wouldn't hesitate now.

Zhang Miaomiao gave Qin Yi a thumbs up and said, "That's a true brother!"

"I was just kidding, there aren't that many fights to get into."

"The president sent me to give this to you."

As they spoke, Zhang Miaomiao took out a token and handed it to Qin Yi.

The front of the token features a design of the Starry Sky Palace and the character "Fan".

On the back, there is an engraving of a sword.

Qin Yi's fingers caressed the sword on the back of the token, and he felt an extremely sharp edge.

"What is this?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

"This is the token of Elder Fan Xuanfeng of the Starry Sky Palace."

"Elder Fan is a powerful expert in the Boundless Realm, and also one of the top ten sword cultivators in the Starry Sky Palace."

"Elder Fan will begin preaching in one hour. It's free, and there are only one hundred spots available."

"Although Elder Fan does not charge fees, he only releases thirty spots for his disciples each time, on a first-come, first-served basis."

"The remaining seventy spots were all sold at high prices by Elder Fan's disciples."

"It just so happens that the president has some connections with Elder Fan's disciple, so he bought you a spot for a very low price of 10,000 crystals."

"With this token, you can go and listen to Elder Fan's teachings."

"This is a great opportunity. You must seize it. Even if you can understand just a little bit, it will greatly help your swordsmanship."

A warm feeling welled up in Qin Yi's heart.

Last time, he asked Li Zheng to help him buy the Three Pure Spiritual Aperture Pills, and gave Li Zheng 50,000 Yuan Crystals as a service fee. Li Zheng only accepted 10,000. Now... he used those 10,000 Yuan Crystals on him.

Brothers can get along!

Qin Yi said, "Senior Sister Miaomiao, please thank the president for me. I will thank the president in person after I finish listening to Elder Fan's sermon."

"When the time comes, I'll treat my brothers to spirit wine and monster meat!"

Zhang Miaomiao said, "Alright, then I'll go tell the brothers and we'll give you a good beating, hahaha!"

After Zhang Miaomiao left.

Qin Yi then took the token and headed to the place where Fan Xuanfeng was preaching.

"As one of the top ten sword cultivators in the Starry Sky Palace, my skill level is naturally quite high. I hope to take my swordsmanship to the next level!" Qin Yi was filled with anticipation!
