After Qin Haoran and the others learned of Li Lingyan’s identity, they naturally became even more enthusiastic towards her.
The Li Family Patriarch’s Daughter was not only so youthful-looking but also an outstanding Alchemy Disciple. Such a person could be said to be the darling of a thousand people.
Seeing Li Lingyan being held by the hand and chatting with Qin Yichen’s Mother, Du Binglan, Lin Miaohan felt her heart sink. She would occasionally look at Qin Yichen with a rather resentful gaze.
“Father, Uncle Lin, I’ll head back to my room first.” After bidding farewell to the few Elders, Qin Yichen wanted to walk out of this deep water and scorching fire.
“En, go, go…” Du Binglan waved her hand casually, but her gaze was still fixed on Li Lingyan.
Qin Yichen watched speechlessly. [Could it be that my Mother wanted this Li Family Young Mistress to be my Wife? What a headache.]
“Um, Auntie, I’ll go over with him for a bit.” Seeing him leave, Li Lingyan also stood up.
“Go to Chen’er’s room?” Hearing these words, everyone’s eyes revealed a trace of astonishment.
They could not be developing this quickly, right?
“I, I just want to ask him some questions.”
After saying that, Li Lingyan also seemed to flee in a fluster.
“Young Mistress, what exactly do you want to do?” Looking at her following him, Qin Yichen felt a big headache coming in. [Could she be any more dense? Does she not know that doing this could easily cause a misunderstanding?]
“c… can you teach me the techniques for controlling Spiritual Energy?” Li Lingyan hesitated, but in the end, she still spoke her intentions.
Qin Yichen fell silent.
There were Cultivation Techniques to follow for cultivating Spiritual Energy. However, the attainment in Spiritual Energy control had no shortcuts. It required years of practical practice to achieve. Otherwise, why were all the Alchemy Grandmasters in the world old?
Qin Yichen himself was no exception. To be honest, he was a genuine old monster. Therefore, he did not know how to explain it to her.
“It’s not possible?” Seeing him not speaking for a long time, a trace of dejection appeared on Li Lingyan’s pretty face.
“It’s not that it’s not possible.” Qin Yichen smiled bitterly. He knew that no matter what, he could not explain it clearly. A teenager who was only in his teens possessed at least the Entry Stage attainment over Spiritual Energy. If he said there were no shortcuts, who would believe it?
“Has Young Mistress heard of Enlightenment?” After thinking for a long time, Qin Yichen finally found a better reason.
“Enlightenment?” Li Lingyan nodded.
She had heard Ran Rui mention it before. At that time, Ran Rui also had a sudden realisation, so he entered the Entry Realm in a single day.
“Actually, I was just lucky and stumbled into the Entry Realm by accident.” Qin Yichen scratched his head.
The accumulation of Spiritual Energy strength could rely on time, but in terms of the attainment in controlling Spiritual Energy, besides the accumulation of time, it also depended on the individual’s talent.
By shifting everything onto talent, Li Lingyan could only leave in disappointment.
After she left, Qin Yichen washed up, changed into a set of clean clothes, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
His Knowledge Sea and Spirit God Technique were automatically operating. With the nourishment of many Medicinal Liquids, the Knowledge Sea was no longer the few wisps of green smoke from before, but like a sea of clouds.
Otherwise, Qin Yichen would not have been able to show off that move in front of Li Yuanfei.
“Wanting to refine Pills would still be very difficult. I must find some more Spirit Herbs to nourish myself.”
Although he anxiously wanted to go to the Alchemy Guild to get that special Pill Furnace, he was also clear that he currently did not have the ability to refine Pills. If he tried to refine halfway, he would probably fail due to the depletion of Spiritual Energy.
Now that he had arrived in Spreading Cloud City, it should not be a problem to purchase some Spirit Herbs that nourished his Spiritual Energy.
As for the situation in his Dantian, it was somewhat beyond Qin Yichen’s expectations.
He was well aware of his shortcomings in the past, so he could never let go of the Martial Cultivation aspect and even regarded it as a key point for him to focus on.
After all, in terms of Spiritual Energy, he had the experience of his previous life, and everything could be achieved with ease, but in terms of Martial Cultivation, he had not delved too deeply. In the end, when he realised his deficiencies in this aspect, he created the Spirit Body Technique based on all the knowledge he had obtained.
Inside his Dantian, it was a foggy expanse. In this expanse of Yuan Energy, that mysterious Pearl was suspended. But at this moment, this Pearl was not as dull and lusterless as before. There seemed to be a layer of mist lingering around its body, making it look somewhat alive.
“What exactly is this thing?” Qin Yichen did not know how many times he had asked this.
During this period of time, he could almost be certain that the reason he was able to live again was because of this Pearl.
Unfortunately, he was helpless against this Pearl.
However, now he seemed to have seen a clue. This Pearl seemed to be absorbing the Yuan Energy of Heaven and Earth into his Dantian in an invisible manner. Under the observation of Qin Yichen’s Spiritual Energy, he saw a scene that shocked him!
Qin Yichen discovered that after this Pearl absorbed Yuan Energy, it spat out even purer Yuan Energy!
It was actually filtering and tempering Yuan Energy!
This was also the reason why there was a layer of mist lingering around this Pearl.
This discovery made Qin Yichen unable to calm down anymore.
At this moment, he could determine that this mysterious Pearl was the legendary… Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl!
Moreover, he also understood why the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl could change a person’s Martial Talent.
The reason lies in this.
The worse a person’s Martial Talent, the more impurities there would be in the Yuan Energy they absorbed. The higher their Martial Talent, the higher the purity of Yuan Energy they could absorb. Thus,the grade of their condensed Martial Body Bead would also be higher.
Now, with the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl constantly filtering, the purity of the Yuan Energy in Qin Yichen’s Dantian has increased by more than several times!
“Phew…” He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement.
This way, he might have a chance to break through his previous shackle!
…
On the other side, in the Lin Family Mansion…
“Shijun still has not returned?” Lin Aoqing paced back and forth in the room, his brows tightly furrowed.
Something was amiss.
A few days ago, he received a letter from Lin Shijun saying that he had discovered Lin Aotian’s whereabouts, but in the blink of an eye, a few days had passed, and the auction over there had already ended. Why was there still no news from Lin Shijun?
“Master, do not be anxious. Perhaps Young Master Shijun is already on the way back?” On the side, a thin old man lowered his head and replied in a soft voice.
Logically speaking, with several Martial Masters were by Lin Shijun’s side. He should not face any trouble in that small place.
“If Master is not at ease, this subordinate will personally make a trip to Jade Creek City.” Seeing Lin Aoqing still frowning, the thin old man suggested.
“En.” Lin Aoqing stopped his steps and nodded. He walked to the old man’s side and quietly instructed, “This time, you must bring back that person’s corpse. Otherwise, that old undying man will not wholeheartedly hand over the Lin Family to me.”
“Rest assured, Master.”
The thin old man slowly retreated.
