I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

We drove back to the riverside villa.

After taking the healing pills, Jiang Qin felt better, and at the same time, his phone started ringing with a series of notification sounds.

Your account has received a deposit of 120000000.00 yuan. Your current account balance is 127053000.08 yuan.

The money from the sale of the six magical artifacts to the academy in Shanghai has arrived.

1把2000万，6把就是1亿2000万，绝对是笔巨资。

Han Wenqing acted quickly as well. Every student in the student council transferred half of their contribution points to Jiang Qin, totaling 35 transfers.

But in reality, it's not that many, only 27000 contribution points in total.

After all, the contribution points earned from completing tasks are definitely worth exchanging for cultivation resources as soon as possible. If the student council hadn't robbed each freshman of 100 contribution points yesterday, they probably wouldn't even have 1 contribution points.

"But these contribution points are enough for me to use for a while. This protection fee is really satisfying..."

Jiang Qin happily opened the redemption interface and started his shopping spree.

Give me 100 Spirit Awakening Pills for cultivation!

As for the Sea Spirit Pill, he has the talent of [Dao Foundation Innate], which gives him a maximum affinity for spiritual energy. Even if his spiritual energy is depleted during battle, it can be replenished quickly, so he doesn't need it.

An S-grade body-strengthening liquid that can enhance the body costs 500 contribution points per bottle. Let's try 10 bottles first.

I also redeemed the [Thunder Step]!

Ten more bottles of Spirit Refining Liquid...

After spending nearly 8000 contribution points on miscellaneous purchases, Jiang Qin stopped shopping and quietly waited at home for the delivery.

About half an hour later, the villa doorbell rang.

A man in uniform stood at the door and handed over a box.

"These are the cultivation resources you purchased on the Zhenling Academy app. Please verify them."

After confirming that nothing was missing, Jiang Qin gave a five-star review, then picked up the box, closed the door, and went back to the living room to sit down.

"First, raise your cultivation level."

He swallowed 10 Qi-enhancing pills, and the surging spiritual energy spread throughout his body, nourishing his limbs and bones along with his blood.

He closed his eyes and began to absorb the medicinal power of the elixir.

In less than 20 minutes, Jiang Qin had perfectly absorbed the medicinal power of the pills. He grabbed another handful and stuffed them into his mouth, absorbing the medicine without regard for the consequences, like a human cultivation machine.

His level of understanding also began to rise.

Six levels of spirit summoning...

Sevenfold Spirit Guiding...

Eightfold Spirit Guiding...

As dusk approached outside the window, Jiang Qin finally opened his eyes. His cultivation level had reached the ninth level of the Spirit Induction Realm, and his strength was at least double that of the morning.

Don't be fooled by how easily he improved; if someone else had consumed it this way, they would have died from the surging spiritual energy exploding long ago.

This is the true value of universal affinity!

However, Jiang Qin wanted more than just that. He took the S-grade body-strengthening liquid to the bathroom, filled the bathtub with water, opened a bottle of body-strengthening liquid, and poured it in.

Golden liquid flowed from the bottle, turning the water in the bathtub golden.

Jiang Qin took off his clothes, sat down in the water, and lay down with only his head above water. He didn't feel anything at first, but immediately felt a needle-like pain all over his body, which made his face turn bitter.

Despite being mentally prepared, I was still in so much pain that I broke out in a cold sweat.

This is the strengthening liquid taking effect, penetrating his body through his pores, expanding his blood vessels and tendons. The more pain he experiences, the more obvious the effect.

This one bottle of body-strengthening liquid is equivalent to hundreds of bottles of grade B body-strengthening liquid.

After he had gotten used to the pain, Jiang Qin gritted his teeth, reached out with trembling hands, opened another bottle of body-strengthening liquid, poured it into the water, and repeated this process over and over again.

Until all 10 bottles of the tonic were dissolved in the water.

The water, which was originally a pale gold color, has turned a deep gold color.

At the same time, a layer of fine, viscous black substance floats to the surface of the water; that is the impurities shed by the body.

An ordinary person would have fainted from this extreme pain, but Jiang Qin gritted his teeth and endured it. He would not allow himself to pass out at this moment, otherwise all his efforts would be in vain!

If he can't even endure this little bit of pain, how can he talk about standing at the pinnacle of martial arts!

What are you talking about protecting now?!

Two hours later, Jiang Qin emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

He felt better than ever before.

"The next step is to verify whether my idea is feasible..."

Jiang Qin looked at the Spirit Refining Liquid on the table. Including the two bottles he had obtained earlier, there were a total of 12 bottles.

He picked up the bottle, opened the cap, and quickly drank it. His throat sloshed around, and the taste was bitter and indescribable.

The effect of the Spirit Refining Liquid is to purify the spiritual energy in the body. Once it reaches its peak, one can break through to the Divine Phase Realm and possess combat power far exceeding that of ordinary Divine Phase Realm warriors.

Previously, Jiang Qin was unable to take it due to his frail body, but now...

As he consumed bottle after bottle of Spirit Refining Liquid, his cultivation level not only failed to improve, but instead began to decline.

In the blink of an eye, he fell from the ninth level of the Spirit Guiding Realm back to the fifth level.

However, Jiang Qin's strength did not decrease as a result. Although the amount of spiritual energy in his body decreased, the quality improved.

Next, Jiang Qin glanced at the remaining Spirit Awakening Pills on the table, a slight smile playing on his lips…

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

A week passed in the blink of an eye. In addition to his necessary cultivation, Jiang Qin would sometimes go to the academy to listen to cultural classes.

After all, living in a small city like Tianyun, his access to the world was limited.

For example, the so-called interdimensional rift is actually a small world created by the fusion of two worlds, which exists in a special way due to the rules.

According to the most widely accepted view at present.

The other world is very likely an alien world where ferocious beasts reign supreme.

His cultivation level has been successfully stabilized at the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Induction Realm, and he can break through at any time, but now is not the time, because the blood pool also has the effect of enhancing physical fitness. He plans to enter the blood pool before making a breakthrough.

The peaceful days continued until they were shattered by a sudden doorbell ring.

Jiang Qin, wearing a white T-shirt, yawned as he went to open the door.

Outside the door, Butler Jiang sensed something and was immediately relieved, as if he had been granted a pardon.

"That's wonderful, young master. Thank goodness you're still in the Spirit Guiding Realm and haven't broken through yet, otherwise this old servant really wouldn't know what to do."

"What happened?" Jiang Qin asked, looking puzzled.

"Please get in the car with me first. I'll tell you on the way; it concerns Miss Hanhan, it's extremely urgent!"

As he spoke, Butler Jiang pulled Jiang Qin outside, got into the car parked at the door, and headed straight for the location of the Shanghai University.

Butler Jiang quickly explained what had happened.

It turns out that Jiang Hanhan formed a team to enter the interdimensional rift for training in order to improve her practical experience.

This wouldn't normally be a big deal, since the interdimensional rift is governed by the laws of nature. If the rift is only at the second level, then the ferocious beasts within it can only be at the peak of the second level. For these geniuses from the Magic City Academy, even in the worst-case scenario, they would be able to protect themselves.

But there are always exceptions.

As the fusion of the two worlds progresses, the interdimensional rifts occasionally become unstable. For example, second-order rifts may mutate, leading to the birth of third-order ferocious beasts.

However, only second-tier martial artists are allowed to enter the rift entrance.

Jiang Hanhan encountered this situation. In addition to her, dozens of freshmen from the Shanghai Academy were also trapped in the rift. Only one person managed to escape and bring back the news.

Five days had passed since Jiang Hanhan entered the crack before the school leaders had to notify the Jiang family.

Butler Jiang then rushed over to find Jiang Qin.
