476: Chapter 476 The Golden Lotus Platform!

The next day, October 9th.

Qin Yan sat cross-legged in the living room and slowly opened his eyes. There was no joy on his face; instead, he looked somewhat frustrated.

The reason was simple—

He still hadn't achieved a Breakthrough!

After receiving five bottles of five elements spirit pills yesterday, he had impatiently begun to Cultivate.

Throughout the entire night, he went without sleep or rest, refining all five bottles of the Medicinal Pills.

Adding in the resources previously gifted by his Senior Brother and Senior Sister, he had invested everything into the Five Elements Primordial Scripture.

But he still hadn't achieved a Breakthrough!

"This Five Elements Primordial Scripture is really something!"

Qin Yan couldn't help but complain inwardly.

If it were an ordinary Prodigy with so many resources, they would have achieved a Breakthrough long ago.

Five bottles of five elements spirit pills, which meant fifty Fifth-Rank Medicinal Pills, plus what he had accumulated before, would be enough for an ordinary Fifth-Rank Martial Artist to rush from the early stage to the Late Stage, or even touch the threshold of the Peak.

But who told him to Cultivate five types of True Qi!

The Five Elements Primordial Scripture was different from ordinary Cultivation Techniques; it required the simultaneous cultivation of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth True Qi.

Moreover, these five types of True Qi were not ordinary; each was near top-tier and required a massive amount of resources to support.

His resource requirements were several times that of an average Prodigy.

However, after this round of refining, he felt that he was not far from a Breakthrough.

With one more batch of resources, he should be able to break through.

Qin Yan tidied himself up, stood up, and left his courtyard.

The place he was heading to today was Spirit Mountain.

Spirit Mountain—this was a unique Cultivation Holy Land for the Outer Court of the East Courtyard in the Taixuan Holy Land.

Spirit Mountain, as the name suggested, was a mountain Peak with extremely powerful Spiritual Qi.

It was said that the entire mountain Peak was built upon a massive Spiritual Vein, and the mountain was filled with various Spirit Gathering Formations that could gather Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to the maximum extent.

Cultivating on a Lotus Platform in Spirit Mountain could greatly increase a Martial Artist's speed in refining spiritual power and help them better achieve a Breakthrough in their Realm.

As Qin Yan headed toward Spirit Mountain, many young Prodigies were also making their way toward its location.

On the mountain path, groups of three to five young people were everywhere.

Some looked excited, while others were eager to try.

Others were calm, clearly having seen much of the world.

They came from different worlds and different forces, all converging here now, moving toward the same goal.

Only very powerful forces possessed a Spirit Mountain.

Even ordinary King-class families or Sects did not necessarily own a Spirit Mountain.

A Cultivation Holy Land of this level was a place countless Martial Artists dreamed of.

When Qin Yan arrived at Spirit Mountain, many young Prodigies had already arrived ahead of him.

At the foot of the mountain, groups of people gathered in twos and threes, whispering and discussing animatedly.

"Is this Spirit Mountain? As expected, the spiritual power is abundant!"

A young man in a green robe exclaimed, taking a deep breath with a look of enchantment on his face.

"This is just the beginning. The speed of Cultivating on the Lotus Seats inside Spirit Mountain is what you'd call truly fast."

A companion beside him laughed, "I heard that Cultivating on a Golden Lotus Platform is more than ten times faster than in the outside world!"

"But do you have enough taixuan points? Cultivating on the Lotus Platforms consumes taixuan points," someone reminded them.

"I have 10 points."

"I have 20 points."

"Hahaha, I have 30 points!" a burly young man laughed triumphantly.

Envious looks were immediately cast from the surroundings.

For a New Student who had just entered the academy, 30 taixuan points was indeed a significant sum.

Qin Yan listened to the discussions of the Prodigies around him and gently shook his head.

Many of these people obviously knew each other before entering the Taixuan Holy Land.

Some came from the same world, some from neighboring forces, and some were Family friends for generations.

They greeted each other familiarly, joked around, and discussed how many taixuan points they had.

They were all young talents born in Great Realms.

Unlike him, in this vast Outer Court, he probably only knew Lin Qingyue and Dragon Soaring of the Dragon Whale Clan.

Although he knew Lin Qingyue, the two of them had an unpleasant experience of clashing, so they could hardly be considered friends.

As for Dragon Soaring, it would be good enough if the other party didn't hate him.

"The resources of the Great Realms are indeed powerful."

Qin Yan sighed inwardly.

Great Realms had abundant resources and many experts.

Naturally, the probability of Prodigies appearing was higher, and there were more geniuses.

In the rankings he saw yesterday, among the Special Grade and First Grade Disciples of the Outer Court, those from the Taixuan Realm were the most numerous!

After all, this was the home field of the Taixuan Holy Land, and the Prodigies of the local world naturally held the geographical advantage.

Then there were the Prodigies from some of the Top 100 Great Realms and even the Top 10 Worlds, who also occupied a significant proportion.

As for his Blue Star, its ranking among the Ten Thousand Realms was not very high.

The Blue Star Prodigies who could appear here could be counted on one's fingers.

Suppressing his thoughts, Qin Yan immediately stepped into Spirit Mountain.

As soon as he entered Spirit Mountain, he immediately felt a world of difference.

Although the Spiritual Qi outside was also dense, it paled in comparison to this place.

Inside Spirit Mountain, the Spiritual Qi turned into mist, permeating the surroundings.

The misty Spiritual Qi drifted in strands around his body; with every breath, he could feel a large amount of Spiritual Qi surging into his body.

Everything within his line of sight was shrouded in a faint mist, like a fairyland.

The deeper he went, the thicker the Spiritual Qi became.

Qin Yan could feel the Cultivation Technique in his body operating automatically, greedily absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

Inside Spirit Mountain, Lotus Platforms were scattered in an orderly fashion.

Some of those Lotus Platforms floated in the air, some were situated on mountain rocks, and some were hidden within the mist.

Each Lotus Platform emitted a faint glow.

The Lotus Platforms came in three colors—white, purple, and golden.

White Lotus Platforms were distributed in the outer perimeter; they were the most numerous and were arranged densely.

On each White Lotus Platform, one could vaguely see a figure sitting cross-legged; those were the Disciples currently Cultivating.

Purple Lotus Platforms were distributed in the inner perimeter; there were far fewer of them, and they were spaced further apart.

The light on the Purple Lotus Platforms was more intense, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi was also thicker.

Golden Lotus Platforms were distributed in the core; they were the fewest in number, with only a few hundred in total.

Each Golden Lotus Platform emitted a brilliant light, standing at the very center like stars surrounding the moon.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi was almost condensed into substance, turning into a faint spiritual mist that swirled around the Lotus Platforms.

Following the guidance of his token, Qin Yan walked toward the core area.

His token clearly marked his Lotus Platform number—No. 110.

It was the same as his courtyard number.

As a Special Grade Disciple, he was entitled to use a Golden Lotus Platform.

Passing through layers of mist and bypassing several Purple Lotus Platforms, Qin Yan finally arrived at the core area.

Looking around, hundreds of Golden Lotus Platforms floated quietly, each emitting a solemn and sacred aura.

He quickly found his own—Golden Lotus Platform No. 110.

The Lotus Platform floated quietly three feet above the ground, entirely golden and shimmering with a soft light.
