Wang Zhan, who was in a bad mood, came to the top of a mountain at the back of the mountain. He leaned against a big tree and watched the sun set bit by bit. The evening wind was gentle and cold.
Even Wang Zhan, who was at Body Tempering Stage Three, couldn't help but shrink back under the night wind.
He had been here for more than ten years. He had gradually integrated into the family, but he still had a glimmer of hope for his biological parents. Even in the first few years, he sometimes couldn't help but think: Perhaps one day, his parents would come looking for him. When the time came, he had to pretend to be angry.
However, reality was often so bony. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed. Wang Zhan had also changed from the child of the past to the handsome youth he was now. Even though his realm had been stagnant for the past few years.
Because of Qin Xiaotian's guidance, he also understood the environment of the world he was in now.
The world he was in was filled with a huge amount of spiritual energy. It was precisely because of the existence of this spiritual energy that spirit masters appeared. According to Qin Xiaotian, it was not easy to become a Spiritual Master.
Before becoming a Spirit Master, the first thing you have to do is to sense the Spirit Qi around you. Not only that, but you also have to absorb it into your body and fuse it with your bloodline to make it your own. Only then can you successfully break through the Body Tempering Realm and truly step into the threshold of a Spirit Master. This realm is the Qi Receiving Realm.
The Receival realm was divided into three stages. Initial stage, middle stage, and advanced stage. Although these three stages seemed simple, the gap between them was only known to the Cleric himself. Qin Xiaotian had only reached the intermediate stage of the Receival realm after cultivating for so many years. He was one of the top existences in the entire Qin family and even the entire Nine Dragons Town.
When spiritual energy entered the body, it would become more and more vigorous, and a qualitative change would gradually occur. When the Qi Sea expanded to a critical point, it would begin to contract violently until it turned into a singularity, which was the Core Formation Stage. Upon reaching the Core Formation Stage, with a single thought, mountains could be overturned and rivers could flow backwards. That was a peak existence in the world. As far as Wang Zhan knew, there wasn't even a single Core Formation Stage expert in the entire Nine Dragons Town. However, these Yuan Cores were not exactly the same. Different Yuan Cores had quite a big difference in power.
In this world, the Primordial Core was divided into seven grades. Crimson was the top grade and dark purple was the bottom grade. Most of the spirit masters with dark purple origin pills would find it difficult to improve at the early stage of the origin core stage even if they spent their entire lives. On the other hand, the spirit masters with scarlet Yuan Dan were practically all at the perfect Yuan Dan stage and above. There were even quite a number of people who could step into the stage after the Core Formation stage.
Although the Core Formation Stage was formidable, it was not the ultimate stage of a Spirit Master. After the ninth revolution of the condensed core, traces of vitality would be nurtured in the body. The seed of life, the embryo of spiritual power, and the beginning of the soul.
The Nine Revolutions Inner Core would eventually break apart, and what replaced him would be the Nascent Soul that broke out of the shell of the Inner Core.
The Nascent Soul descended and awakened the living. This was the beginning of the Living Spirit Realm.
However, the realm on the surface was not the only key to determining strength. That was because the strength of a spirit skill was no less useful than the difference in cultivation realm for every spirit master. The spirit skills in the entire world were strictly divided according to their grades. From Grade Nine to Grade Nine, its power would increase exponentially. Above these nine grades, there were the four grades of Yin Yang, Creation, Four Symbols, and Heaven and Earth. Within each grade, there were three grades of low, high, and high.
To give a simple example, if the difference between the two of them was not too big, but one of them had grasped a ninth grade spirit skill, then the other person would definitely lose. However, this spirit skill was extremely rare. Uncle Qin had only given him a grade one spirit skill, Tiangang Fist, and that was because he was in the Qin Clan. If it was an ordinary disciple, they would only have some martial techniques to make up the numbers. They could not even be considered spirit skills.
Up until now, the most powerful spirit skill that Wang Zhan had seen was only the sixth grade spirit skill that the elder had used during the hunt-Fire Phoenix Prairie Fire. This was because the Qin family had been careless during the hunt and entered the withered forest, which was a place covered in dense miasma. Any bird or beast would suffocate to death within six hours.
And it was under such circumstances that Wang Zhan witnessed the spirit skill that he would never forget in his life. When the clan leader finished chanting, the phoenix, which had been carrying a monstrous flame, directly soared into the sky. The miasma also continuously emitted sizzling sounds under the burning of the phoenix flame. The fire phoenix directly flew over the withered forest. In an instant, the miasma in the entire forest was completely burned away, leaving the disciples envious.
Although it was very difficult to obtain a high-level spirit skill, it was not impossible. The simplest way was to enter a sect. If you were talented and had the qualifications to cultivate, the sect would focus on nurturing you. However, in some ordinary sects, a grade five spirit skill was considered a sect treasure, and it definitely wouldn't be passed on to outsiders. Even in the Qin family, the only person who could cultivate the Fire Phoenix Prairie was the chief.
Other than joining a sect, there was another way to obtain an inheritance. The continent that Wang Zhan was on was so big that there were many mighty figures who had died in accidents. They naturally did not want the Taotian Origin that they had painstakingly learned to turn into soil with them. They set up a barrier and waited for the fated person to obtain their inheritance.
However, the probability of such a legacy site being discovered was extremely low. Not only that, but the ruins were also filled with danger. If one was not careful, they would die here. This might be an opportunity, but it was undeniable that it was a nightmare for the vast majority of people.
In short, talent and opportunities were essential for cultivators.
Wang Zhan stayed on the mountaintop until late at night. It had been a long time since he had been alone for so long. Although the cold air on the mountaintop made him tremble, he was more awake than ever. Was he willing to continue living in such a muddle-headed state and waste his time? He had already wasted five years. How many more five years could he waste like this? After thinking it through, Wang Zhan turned around and prepared to go back.
However, when he turned around, he realized that Qin Xiaotian was already standing behind him. Judging from his appearance, he must have been here for a long time. Wang Zhan also felt a little guilty in his heart. He actually did not notice his existence and instead made them worry about him.
"Uncle Qin!" Wang Zhan said. In his heart, although he really wanted to find his biological parents, the kindness of raising him had long filled his heart. To him, Qin Xiaotian had long been like his biological father.
Qin Xiaotian had already understood the reason from Qin Yu, so before Wang Zhan could speak, he took the initiative to say,""Zhan 'er, I don't know what has happened to you, but please don't give up on yourself. Even if you remain at Body Tempering Stage Three, you still have me, Xiao Yu, and Aunty Mei.”After saying that, he went forward, took off the coat he was wearing, and draped it over Wang Zhan.
Feeling Uncle Qin's warmth on his coat, Wang Zhan fell silent. For a moment, Wang Zhan's heart was also extremely complicated. Although Qin Xiaotian said so, he felt bad in his heart. It was just like how everyone had performed at the Spirit Testing Conference. The pressure that these invisible taunts brought to the Qin family, Uncle Qin, and the others was even greater than the pressure that his cultivation realm could not go up.
Qin Xiaotian seemed to know what Wang Zhan was thinking. He also knew that the knot in his heart over the past five years would not be so easily untied. Feeling the cold night breeze, he suggested that they go home first. This bit of cold air was nothing to him, who had spiritual energy protecting his body and was already at the Qi Collection stage. However, to Wang Zhan, who was only at the third layer of Body Tempering, he might fall sick tomorrow.
Wang Zhan also rubbed his head. It seemed that he had really caught a cold. Then, he nodded and followed Uncle Qin in the direction of home. However, what Qin Xiaotian did not notice was that when Wang Zhan put down his hand, his hand seemed to have accidentally brushed past his eyes.
"It's so cold!" After saying that, Wang Zhan pulled the coat on his body.
After that day, Wang Zhan seemed to have changed into another person. He no longer complained that his realm had been stagnant. Whenever he had free time, he would cultivate his Tiangang Fist in the back mountain. Although he was still at Body Tempering Stage Level Three, after this period of cultivation, he had cultivated the Tiangang Fist, which was only a first-grade spirit skill, to the realm of great success. In fact, he was only one step away from reaching the realm of perfection.
Just as Wang Zhan was about to continue cultivating, a voice suddenly sounded not far away."Big Brother Zhan, when I went with Father to pick herbs today, I happened to find a Tier 2 spiritual herb-Inula Flower. I heard that it is extremely beneficial for cultivation, so Father asked me to give it to you.”
Looking at the spiritual herb in Xiao Yu's hand that was emitting a white light, Wang Zhan rejected it.："Xiao Yu, your cultivation level is obviously higher than mine. You've only just broken through to the tempered body fifth stage, so you should lay a good foundation.”
"There's no need, Big Brother Zhan. I know my situation best. Every time before I advance, I will constantly suppress myself and prepare well.”Qin Yu said proudly.
Looking at this clever little fellow, Wang Zhan's heart also warmed up.
"Alright, I'll see if I can use this Inula Flower to break this demon barrier!”
