478: Chapter 478 Shen Wanqian!

The Five Elements small branches swayed joyfully, like seedlings receiving long-awaited rain after a drought.

In the rhythm of their opening and closing, Five Elements True Qi was absorbed, stored, transformed, and then exhaled, repeating in a continuous cycle.

With every inhalation and exhalation, the branches grew a tiny bit larger, becoming sturdier.

“This refined True Qi is actually faster than swallowing a fifth-rank Spirit Pill?”

Qin Yan was secretly shocked.

He had thought that swallowing Spirit Pills was already the limit of Cultivation speed, but he hadn't expected the cultivation effect of this Golden Lotus Platform to be even faster than that!

If he could keep Cultivating here, how fast would his Breakthrough speed be?

However, Qin Yan immediately shook his head; he knew this was impossible.

His taixuan points were limited, and the lotus platform's consumption was high; he couldn't stay here forever.

Half a quarter-hour passed quickly. The light on the Golden Lotus Platform gradually dimmed, and that immense suction force also began to dissipate.

Qin Yan opened his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately took out his token and struck another streak of profound light into it.

“Another half a quarter-hour.”

The taixuan points on the token changed from 45 to 40. The Golden Lotus Platform began to operate again, the suction reappeared, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi surged wildly once more.

He did this because he had a premonition—he was about to reach a Breakthrough!

That feeling was extremely intense, like a thin layer of window paper that could be poked through at any moment.

He couldn't stop at a time like this.

As the Golden Lotus Platform rotated once more, Qin Yan's Cultivation returned to its track.

Streams of Spiritual Qi passed through the operation of his Cultivation Technique, turning into surges of majestic Five Elements True Qi that watered the Five Elements branches.

The Five Elements branches grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The leaves on the branches became more lush, shimmering with five-colored light.

Time passed minute by minute.

Finally—

“Boom!”

A massive roar echoed from within Qin Yan’s body!

Qin Yan felt a tremor inside him, and immediately following that, a powerful aura erupted from his body!

Qin Yan looked inside himself.

He saw that the Five Elements branches had grown taller, the trunks were thicker, and the leaves were more luxuriant.

At this moment, streams of even purer and more majestic Five Elements True Qi were gushing out, circulating through Qin Yan's body.

That True Qi surged through his Meridians like a river breaking its banks, endless and torrential.

fifth rank late stage, achieved!

However, Qin Yan did not stop operating his Cultivation Technique at this moment.

The Golden Lotus Platform was still running; there was still time.

He could not waste this precious Cultivation opportunity.

He continued to absorb the incoming Spiritual Qi, stabilizing the Realm he had just broken through to.

The Spiritual Qi was transformed by the Cultivation Technique and continued to pour into the Five Elements branches, making the newly grown branches more stable and robust.

It wasn't until the Golden Lotus Platform stopped rotating and the surrounding Spiritual Qi gradually dispersed that Qin Yan finally ended this Cultivation session.

He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

His eyes were brighter and deeper than before, with a faint glint of sharp light flashing within them.

Immediately, he opened his panel and began to check it.

【Qi Refining: fifth rank late stage (Five Elements Primordial Scripture Level 1: 35%)】

【Body Tempering: Fourth Rank Peak (Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture Level 2: 24%)】

【Total Vitality: 191,000 cal】

【Qi Refining: 161,000 cal】

【Body Tempering: 30,000 cal】

【spirit: 178 Hz】

“Total Vitality is nearly 200,000 cal now.”

Qin Yan was delighted; this Breakthrough had increased his Vitality by a full 50,000 cal!

From 141,000 to 191,000, a full fifty thousand cal increase.

“With my current strength, I am close to an average Middle Sixth-Grade.”

He estimated in his heart.

An average Middle Sixth-Grade Martial Artist's Vitality is roughly between 200,000 and 210,000.

His current 191,000 cal was still slightly short, but combined with various Martial Skills and methods, he could definitely hold his own against an ordinary Middle Sixth-Grade.

However, Qin Yan then looked around at the various Prodigies.

His comparison to a Middle Sixth-Grade referred to Martial Artists who cultivated ordinary techniques.

Those Middle Sixth-Grades with ordinary techniques and average Aptitude.

But these Prodigies here, even the unranked Disciples, cultivated techniques that were at least of the Exquisite Grade.

Those Prodigies from Great Worlds and major powers cultivated techniques that were even more profound—Mystic Grade, Top Grade, or even at the same level as his Five Elements Primordial Scripture!

With the same level of cultivation, different Cultivation Techniques resulted in worlds of difference in combat power.

And those Prodigies from top-tier factions started with Mystic Grade techniques at the very least.

Their combat power would be much stronger than that of an average Martial Artist!

Qin Yan took a breath and slowly stood up.

The 191,000 cal of Vitality surged within his body, and the feeling of being filled with power made him feel refreshed all over.

He took one last look at the Golden Lotus Platform, turned around, and walked out of the spirit Mountain.

Now, only forty taixuan points remained in his token.

Forty points was not much, yet it wasn't too little either.

But these few taixuan points were not enough to let him successfully Breakthrough to the Fifth Grade Peak.

From fifth rank late stage to Peak, the resources required were far more than what was needed to go from Early Stage to Late Stage.

Forty taixuan points would at most allow him to Cultivate on the Golden Lotus Platform for half an hour, which was far from enough.

“I have to find a way to earn more taixuan points.”

Qin Yan calculated silently in his mind.

There were many ways to obtain taixuan points—completing missions, taking assessments, challenging rankings, Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and so on.

Once he became familiar with the environment, he would plan slowly.

As Qin Yan was leaving the spirit Mountain, a chubby little guy on a purple lotus platform below saw him leave. His eyes darted around, and he followed after him.

Qin Yan was walking along the path, thinking about his next steps.

At that moment, a voice came from behind him.

“Young Master Qin Yan, please wait!”

Qin Yan paused and looked back.

A round, chubby little guy was running toward him.

“Who are you?” Qin Yan asked in confusion, looking at the fat guy in front of him.

“Young Master Qin Yan, I am a First Grade Disciple named Shen Wanqian.”

The chubby guy was all smiles as he introduced himself, “Young Master Qin Yan can call me Xiao Qian or Xiao Wan, either is fine!”

Shen Wanqian?

The name list he had seen in the token yesterday immediately surfaced in Qin Yan's mind.

Shen Wanqian—Taixuan Realm—Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

Wanbao Chamber of Commerce—one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Taixuan Realm, possessing formidable strength and wealth enough to rival a nation.

It was said that the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's business spanned ten thousand worlds, dealing in everything from Medicinal Pills and spirit weapons to Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, from Heaven And Earth Treasures to intelligence and information—they had everything.

Their wealth was so immense that it was said they could buy several Small Worlds.

And Shen Wanqian was the son of an Elder of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
