"Holy Palace of Essence?" Xingjue said somewhat puzzledly. He couldn't figure out why the training pavilion would have such a strange name.
"Brother Xingjue, you know that cultivation requires martial qi, right? Due to different ranks, the refinement degree of martial qi will also be different."
"For example, even if a martial master practices a heaven-rank cultivation method, his cultivation speed will only be a little faster than that of an ordinary person."
"But the cultivation speed is always limited because his rank is too low to quickly refine the absorbed martial qi and transform it into his own power." Seeming to have seen Xingjue's confusion, Li Xiaohan slowly said to Xingjue.
And after hearing Li Xiaohan's words, Xingjue suddenly understood and thought: "No wonder I feel that every time I cultivate, I absorb a large amount of martial qi, but in the end, a lot of it runs away. It turns out that I haven't refined them completely." At this moment, Xingjue also admired Li Xiaohan a little. This girl is indeed not simple.
"But perhaps Brother Xingjue doesn't know that after many years of accumulation, martial qi will form entities. And that kind of martial qi condensed into entities is called 'essence of martial qi'."
"The nature of the essence of martial qi is the same as that of martial qi. However, the energy in the essence of martial qi is more concentrated and easier to refine. So this essence of martial qi can be regarded as a precious item for cultivation." Li Xiaohan said to Xingjue again.
"There is such a thing in the world?" After hearing Li Xiaohan's words, Xingjue was even more astonished. Before this, he had never heard of the essence of martial qi.
"Could there be that essence of martial qi here?" But after being astonished, Xingjue suddenly reacted and then asked expectantly.
"Brother Xingjue is indeed smart." Seeing that Xingjue reacted so quickly, Li Xiaohan also smiled charmingly.
"Brother Xingjue, but I still have to remind you that the essence of martial qi is alive. Although its intelligence is not high, it can use martial qi to launch attacks. And depending on the level, its own power is also different. So when entering this Holy Palace of Essence later, you must not be careless." Li Xiaohan reminded again.
"Uh, so amazing." After hearing Li Xiaohan's words, Xingjue was even more astonished.
"Alright, Brother Xingjue, let's go in." After explaining everything to Xingjue, Li Xiaohan pulled Xingjue's hand and walked towards the huge barrier vortex.
When they reached the barrier vortex, Li Xiaohan turned her wrist and a barrier key identical to the one in Xingjue's hand emerged. Then she pressed it against the barrier vortex and was sucked in.
Seeing this, Xingjue also imitated Li Xiaohan and inserted his barrier key into the barrier vortex. With the insertion of the barrier key, Xingjue felt his body float and was wrapped by a powerful force. When his body was liberated, he was already in a fantastical cave.
The cave walls were dark blue and shone with a faint light, like brilliant gemstones, appearing extremely beautiful. And in the cave, there were crisscrossing passages everywhere, seeming somewhat mysterious.
"So beautiful." Looking at everything in front of him, Xingjue exclaimed in amazement.
"Hehe, Brother Xingjue, these are not ordinary gemstones. They are extremely rare azure secluded stones, and on these stones, powerful forces have been bestowed."
"So they will continuously absorb martial qi from the outside world and condense it into the essence of martial qi in this palace. This was the masterpiece of the founder of our Windy Pavilion, the first pavilion master. He was the strongest person in the history of our Windy Pavilion." Li Xiaohan came to Xingjue's side and explained with a smile.
"Uh, so powerful." After hearing Li Xiaohan's words, Xingjue also began to admire the founder of Windy Pavilion. Being able to create such a magical thing, the strength of that senior was truly terrifying.
"Brother Xingjue, look, that is the essence of martial qi." Just then, Li Xiaohan suddenly pointed in the distance and said to Xingjue.
And following the direction Li Xiaohan pointed, Xingjue also discovered that not far away, there was a golden light body shining like a firefly slowly floating. However, the size of this light body was much larger than that of a firefly, as big as a watermelon. And in its light, it seemed that there was a rich martial qi flowing slowly.
"Devouring Wind Palm" Xingjue shouted loudly and a brilliant palm print of light was fiercely blasted towards the "essence of martial qi".
At the same time, the essence of martial qi seemed to have sensed Xingjue's attack and actually emitted a wisp of martial qi from its body, reflecting towards the palm print of light.
However, compared to Xingjue's Devouring Wind Palm, that wisp of martial qi was too weak. With a dull bang, it was defeated by the palm print of light. Then the palm print of light fiercely hit the essence of martial qi.
"Boom" Along with a buzzing sound, the essence of martial qi actually shattered. Then a light body the size of a precious pill floated out. However, this small light body did not have any danger.
"Hey" Seeing this, Xingjue leaped and directly grabbed the floating light body in his hand.
"Brother Xingjue, you can just take it directly." Li Xiaohan said to Xingjue with a smile.
"Um" Under Xiaohan's reminder, Xingjue swallowed it in one gulp. And after that light body went down his stomach, Xingjue felt an extremely rich martial qi start to spread within his body and was quickly refined into his own power. At this moment, Xingjue actually felt that his power had increased by a bit.
"It's really a good thing." After taking the essence of martial qi, Xingjue couldn't stop praising.
"Brother Xingjue, on the first floor of this holy palace, all are first-level essence of martial qi. And due to the large number of people catching them, they are relatively rare. Let's go to the second floor to catch them," Li Xiaohan said slowly to Xingjue and then pulled Xingjue along a passage.
"Uh" Regarding Xiaohan's action, Xingjue seemed a little speechless. Remembering that Elder Jishui clearly told them earlier not to go to the second floor, and Li Xiaohan also promised solemnly, but at this moment...
"Alas..." Thinking of this, Xingjue could only sigh helplessly in his heart. At this moment, he realized that Li Xiaohan could really be regarded as a naughty girl who was hard to handle.
After walking along the passage for a while, Xingjue found two men wearing golden pavilion robes in front of him. The strength of these two disciples was actually all at the high-level Martial Honor realm. Apparently, they were also disciples of the main pavilion.
"Junior Sister Xiaohan, long time no see." Just then, the two men also noticed Xingjue and the two of them. One of them even had an eager smile and greeted Li Xiaohan.
But to Xingjue's dismay, Li Xiaohan actually ignored him as if he were air and walked straight past him.
Seeing this, the man's eyebrows wrinkled even more. Then he cast his gaze at Xingjue and said slowly: "This junior brother doesn't seem to be a disciple of the main pavilion, right?"
But just when Xingjue was about to reply, Li Xiaohan suddenly stopped her forward steps and then slowly turned around and said coldly to him: "Do you believe that if you say another word of nonsense, I'll make you rest for a year?"
"Uh" And when hearing Li Xiaohan's words, the disciple's face twitched even more. Then he quickly turned around and walked quickly in another direction with the other main pavilion disciple.
Seeing the disciple's action, Xingjue seemed a little helpless. It seemed that Li Xiaohan also had quite a fierce reputation in this main pavilion.
"Alright, Brother Xingjue, let's go." After the two disciples left, Li Xiaohan suddenly smiled and said to Xingjue again. Her gentle and charming appearance was completely different from before.
And along the way, Xingjue and Li Xiaohan met several main pavilion disciples again. And like the previous two disciples, most of their strengths were generally at the high-level Martial Honor realm.
And when they saw Li Xiaohan, they couldn't help but be attracted by her. Then they cast strange glances at Xingjue. Apparently, Xingjue's somewhat tattered purple pavilion robe seemed a bit odd. But perhaps because of Li Xiaohan, these people behind didn't ask any more questions.
And after a journey of half an hour, Xingjue found that not far ahead, there appeared another huge barrier vortex. And at the moment in front of that vortex, there were three men and a woman standing. Judging from their appearance, they should also be preparing to enter the second floor.
"Junior Sister Xiaohan" After seeing Li Xiaohan, the female disciple smiled and greeted Li Xiaohan.
"Sister Fang" And Li Xiaohan also smiled and replied politely.
"Is this junior brother Xingjue?" Just then, Xingjue also came into the woman's sight and she said with a smile.
"It's me." And Xingjue also smiled and said. But in his heart, he thought that it seemed that he did have quite a reputation in this main pavilion. No wonder Elder Jishui specially reminded him earlier.
"Junior Brother Xingjue, you can actually enter the Holy Palace of Essence. It seems that this is thanks to the relationship of Junior Sister Xiaohan," Just then, a male disciple behind her said maliciously to Xingjue.
"Brother Zhao, did you also participate in the hunting competition held by the four major forces three years ago?" But just when Xingjue was about to speak, he was quietly stopped by Li Xiaohan. Then she even smiled and said to him.
"Unexpectedly, Junior Sister Xiaohan even knows that little thing from back then. By the way, I alone obtained 250 points that time." Seeing that Li Xiaohan was so friendly to him.
The man was simply over the moon. Taking the opportunity, he even boasted about his achievements back then. And when some disciples heard his words, they even cast admiring glances at him.
"By the way, did Junior Brother Xingjue obtain the qualification to participate in this year's hunting competition?" Seeing that he had attracted some admiring glances, the man became even more proud and then actually turned the topic to Xingjue, apparently wanting to make Xingjue look bad.
"250 points? Is this something to show off?" But just then, Li Xiaohan's attitude suddenly turned cold and then said loudly: "In this year's hunting competition, my Brother Xingjue alone obtained 900 points and won the first place in history for our Windy Pavilion."
And when hearing Li Xiaohan's words, those several disciples were even more shocked. Their expressions were just like being struck by lightning. The first place? Windy Pavilion has never won the first place in hundreds of years. Now Xingjue has actually achieved it? Just thinking of this, they would all feel very incredulous.
"Therefore, my Brother Xingjue received the rewards of the main pavilion. Not only did he obtain a town-level martial skill but was also exceptionally allowed to enter here for cultivation. Has anyone of you enjoyed such treatment?"
When saying these words, Li Xiaohan deliberately raised her tone, which made some nearby disciples hear it clearly. Then they even cast incredulous glances at Xingjue.
Especially that male disciple, his expression at this moment was extremely wonderful, just like stepping on shit.
"Xiaohan, there's no need to explain too much to such people. Let's go in and cultivate." Just then, Xingjue came to Li Xiaohan's side and said with a smile. Then he even held Li Xiaohan's jade hand in full view of everyone and walked towards the second floor.
And Li Xiaohan was even more like a delicate and charming person, obediently following behind Xingjue and then walked into the vortex barrier.
Seeing this scene, everyone was even more astonished. They couldn't imagine that in the main pavilion, "Li Xiaohan" who was like a saintess and was always cold to male disciples, could actually have such a gentle side. At this moment, for those male disciples, it was simply a huge blow.
