Inside an inn in Pass City.
Shi Xiaole laid out a hundred Mystic Crystal Stones before him and picked up one in each hand, beginning to absorb them.
Ten stones.
Twenty stones.
The breakthrough was harder than Shi Xiaole had expected, as his roots were too solid and hence required more spiritual energy. It was only after absorbing thirty-five stones that his internal power, transformed from spiritual energy, reached its peak. Under Shi Xiaole's guidance, it abruptly crashed into the barrier within his body.
BOOM!
The impact sent qi scattering, turning the stone debris on the ground into fly ash, even the paper on the windows rustled.
The initial stage of the Qi Realm Nine Layer.
For ordinary prodigies, a breakthrough to one realm above the seventh layer of Qi Absorption was not easy. Even Xue Changqing, who was amazingly talented, was merely at the eighth layer at the age of twenty-one.
