Puff!
In the silence, there was a muffled sound, and Lin Xiu's momentum suddenly surged!
"9 Star Dou Grandmaster!"
Opening his eyes, a flash of excitement passed through Lin Xiu's eyes.
In just one month, from a 4 Star Dou Grandmaster, directly promoted to a 9 Star Dou Grandmaster, this speed was simply unparalleled!
"Panel!"
With a thought, a large amount of text appeared before Lin Xiu's eyes.
[Name: Lin Xiu]
[Age: 19]
[Realm: 9 Star Dou Grandmaster (51,000/90,000)]
[Constitution: 70]
[Spirit: 60]
[Aptitude: 40]
[Ability:
...
Earth Rank Mid Level Dou Technique: Starlight Body Forging Technique lvl10 (110/1000)
Yellow Rank Low Level Dou Technique: Flame Soul Separation Technique lvl4 (Max)
[二,Qi Method fusion: Fusion of Qi Methods of the same level can result in a higher-level completely new Qi Method]
[Currently, "Wind Roar", "Wind and Thunder Waterfall", and "Fire Burning Plains" are eligible for fusion. Proceed with fusion?]
"Yes!"
Lin Xiu agreed.
Then, he maxed out the Earth Rank Low Level Qi Method: Earth Emperor's Mantra and Gold and Wood Unity Mantra, and also maxed out the newly fused Qi Method.
At this point, Lin Xiu possessed three Earth Rank Low Level Qi Methods.
[You have consumed 1 Attribute Point and gained the Earth Rank Mid Level Qi Method: Primordial Qi]
[Primordial Qi, an Earth Rank Mid Level Qi Method, forms chaos with the Dantian as its core, absorbing and emitting the Qi of all things...]
A vast amount of information flooded his mind, leaving Lin Xiu feeling somewhat disoriented.
"Sigh..."
After a while, Lin Xiu took a deep breath and shook his head, "Let's see how powerful this Earth Rank Mid Level Qi Method is."
As he spoke.
He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into his body.
Within the Dantian.
A Dou Crystal stood in the center, predominantly green with si lvler patterns all over it.
Those patterns occasionally flashed with electricity, emitting bursts of thunderous sounds.
Surrounding it, there were seven Yuan apertures, each of different attributes, with different colors.
"As the sea within the Dantian, forming chaos... I need to first construct a sea-eye."
With a thought, Lin Xiu first drew out the power of wind and thunder, slowly rotating it around the Dou Crystal.
A faint suction emerged, pulling out all the Dou Qi from within the Dou Crystal, gradually forming a rotating thundercloud.
In the center was a hollow, continuously rotating.
"Wind and thunder are the Dou Qi I have practiced with for the longest time, accumulating the most. Now, I'll add the water attribute into it."
Lin Xiu's mind stirred, and the originally green-si lvler vortex suddenly became deep, faintly taking on the color of a thunderstorm.
Once it stabilized again, Lin Xiu then drew in the attributes of gold, wood, fire, and earth.
At first, there was some resistance, but Lin Xiu, relying on his 60 points of Spirit, successfully suppressed it.
Soon, a nebula-like vortex occupied the previous position of the Dou Crystal.
"It's a success."
Lin Xiu couldn't help but rejoice, realizing that with just a single thought, he could freely change attributes, and the strength was universal, without distinction of strength or weakness.
[You have successfully learned a new Ability—Primordial Qi]
[You practiced, gaining 100 experience for Primordial Qi]
[Your Ability Primordial Qi has advanced to level 2, gaining 1 Attribute Point]
[You completed one cultivation session, gaining 120 realm experience]
Glancing at the prompts, Lin Xiu calculated silently for a moment, a look of astonishment appearing on his face, "Before, with the Black Rank High-level Qi Method, reaching level nine, it would only give 9 experience points in half an hour of cultivation, plus the Aptitude quadrupling effect, it would be only 36. Now, with the Earth Rank Mid-level Qi Method, at level two, it gives 6 experience points?"
If Lin Xiu elevates his Qi Method to the highest level, he'll gain 33 points of basic experience in half an hour. Coupled with a 4x Aptitude, that's 132 points in half an hour, 264 points in an hour, and over 6000 points in a day.
And that's without factoring in the bonus effect from the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. The speed of cultivating with an Earth Rank Mid Level Qi Method can only be described with one word: terrifying! At this moment, there's a new change in the panel:
[Name: Lin Xiu]
[Age: 19]
[Realm: 9 Star Dou Grandmaster (51,000/90,000)]
[Constitution: 70]
[Spirit: 60]
[Aptitude: 40]
[Abilities:
Earth Rank Mid Level Qi Method: Primordial Qi lvl2 (10/200)
Black Rank High-Level Dou Technique: Whirlwind Strike lvl9 (max)
Black Rank High-Level Dou Technique: Nine Heavens Thunder Slash lvl9 (max)]
Lin Xiu closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, channeling his spiritual energy into the crystal before him. As he did so, he felt a surge of power flowing through him, filling him with a sense of exhilaration. With a deep breath, he opened his eyes and smiled, feeling confident in his newfound abilities.
Black Rank Mid Level Dou Technique: Thundering Palm lvl8 (max)
Black Rank Mid Level Dou Technique: Wind Shadow Sword Technique lvl8 (max)
Black Rank Mid Level Body Technique: Light Cloud Wandering Dragon Steps lvl8 (max)
Black Rank Low Level Secret Technique: Wind and Thunder Shattering Limits lvl5 (405/500)
Earth Rank Mid Level Dou Technique: Starlight Body Forging Technique lvl10 (110/1000)
Yellow Rank Low Level Dou Technique: Flame Soul Separation Technique lvl4 (max)
Black Rank High Level Dou Technique: Lightning Ripples lvl1 (1/100)
Earth Rank Low Level Dou Technique: Surging Waves Overwhelm Heavens lvl1 (1/100)
...
Attribute Points: 4
"I'll keep the 4 Attribute Points for now, just in case. Next, I'll strive to max out Lightning Ripples, then fuse it with Whirlwind Strike and Nine Heavens Thunder Slash to create an Earth Rank Low Level Dou Technique."
Looking at his own panel, Lin Xiu planned his next steps. Firstly, he needs a batch of fourth-grade magic cores. Once he breaks through to Dou Spirit realm, the space within his Yuan aperture will be limited, necessitating an upgrade. Additionally, upon his promotion to Dou Spirit, his Aptitude will increase, requiring the essence blood of Magic Beasts.
Secondly, knowing that in the next competition, Xiao Yan and his group will definitely try to snatch the old students back, Lin Xiu decides to snatch Fire Energy once again. Lin Xiu is confident in facing Xiao Yan and remaining undefeated. With Origin Return, he can easily conceal his true strength without worrying about being stopped by the Academy due to excessive strength.
"Even with just a thousand Fire Energy, earning so much in seven or eight days, probably no one in the inner courtyard can achieve that aside from selling Pills," Lin Xiu thought. He doesn't want to miss the opportunity to earn Fire Energy and also wants to try if the Flame Soul Separation Technique can have any effect against the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame.
With his thoughts in place, he packs up and leaves the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. As he ascends, the guard at the entrance remains the same.
"You weren't corroded by the fire poison?" The guard, upon seeing Lin Xiu, first froze, then surveyed Lin Xiu's eyes, noticing they are normal without any hint of redness, which surprised him.
"Just happened to have some means to deal with it," Lin Xiu responded with a smile.
Watching Lin Xiu's departing figure, the elder's eyes betrayed a hint of envy. Only those who spend years in the tower would understand how crucial it is to have means to dispel fire poison. Just in terms of Pill consumption alone, it would save a lot.
"Forget about sensing his strength, but being able to stay on the fifth floor for a month, at least, can elevate five realms," the elder speculates. In past records, there was a student named Lin Yan who had spent a long time in the tower and progressed rapidly.
"Too bad, that kid got entangled with fire poison, had gains, but paid a high price, unlike this Lin Xiu."
...
Exiting the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Lin Xiu took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling significantly relaxed both mentally and physically.
Upon returning to his lodging, Lin Xiu didn't find Du Chaoping or Leng Bai. After some thought, Lin Xiu left a note, informing them of his brief absence.
Subsequently, Lin Xiu packed a few pieces of clothing and left the lodging, heading towards the forest outside the courtyard.
"I'm now a 9 Star Dou Grandmaster. With the Starlight Body Forging Technique, my physique is comparable to an 8 or 9 Star Dou Spirit. As long as I don't encounter particularly troublesome Fourth Rank Magic Beasts, there shouldn't be any problems with hunting them down."
