519: Chapter 519 150 Tai Xuan Points!!
"More than that?"
Ao Yuan was stunned.
"There's more?"
Seeing this, Long Aotian slowly shook his head.
The moonlight fell upon him, making his golden figure appear even more noble and mysterious.
"Today, when I had you fight Qin Yan, I was observing the entire time."
"The Blood Mist Domain he released was condensed from blood qi, and it emanated from his own body.
Coupled with the fact that Qin Yan also practices Body Refining, I suspect—"
He paused.
"He likely possesses some kind of Body Refining Physique."
"That is the first point."
Upon hearing this, Ao Yuan's heart trembled. A Body Refining Physique?
He truly hadn't thought of that.
He had only considered the Blood Mist Domain to be an ordinary Domain; he never expected it to be related to a Physique.
One must know that a Physique is an extremely rare thing.
Martial Artists who possess a Physique have distinct advantages in certain aspects.
Long Aotian continued.
"His spirit weapon and Spirit Weapon Skill are very powerful, and there are two of them. This means that the Materials used to forge his spirit weapon are extraordinary.
Furthermore, his Cultivation Technique is also highly extraordinary; otherwise, it would be impossible for two Spirit Weapon Skills to appear at the ten-pattern spirit weapon stage."
Two Spirit Weapon Skills appearing on a single ten-pattern spirit weapon simultaneously.
What did this mean?
It meant that the material of that spirit weapon was terrifying to the extreme!
It meant that the owner of that spirit weapon was also terrifying to the extreme!
"That is the second point."
Ao Yuan listened, mesmerized.
"The third—"
Long Aotian suddenly frowned, a hint of contemplation flashing in his golden eyes.
"I always feel that he seems a bit mysterious."
His tone also became somewhat uncertain.
"It seems like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it."
That feeling was very subtle.
It was as if there was a faint, elusive shadow shrouding Qin Yan.
It could not be seen through or touched, yet it truly existed.
He couldn't explain what it was.
But he trusted his intuition.
After listening, Ao Yuan was completely stunned.
He had only seen Qin Yan's low Realm and weak spirit weapon.
Yet Long Aotian had seen Qin Yan's Physique, Materials, Cultivation Technique, and even felt the mystery surrounding Qin Yan.
This was the gap.
He lowered his head, completely convinced.
"The Second Prince has a Wisdom Eye like a torch; Ao Yuan admires you."
Long Aotian ignored his flattery.
He had heard those words too many times.
"From now on, keep an eye on this Qin Yan's movements for me."
"This guy is very likely to be one of my opponents in the future competition for the East Courtyard Saint."
Upon hearing this, Ao Yuan was shocked!
He looked up at Long Aotian in disbelief; he hadn't expected this Second Prince to rate Qin Yan so highly!
Although Qin Yan had defeated him, his strength couldn't even be considered top-tier among the Special Grade Disciples.
Among those true top Prodigies, which one wasn't unfathomable?
Compared to them, the gap with Qin Yan was simply too large.
He didn't understand why Long Aotian valued him so much.
However, he dared not question Long Aotian's judgment.
This Second Prince never shot without a target.
Since he said so, there must be a reason for it.
"Understood."
Ao Yuan lowered his head respectfully and replied.
Regardless of whether he understood or not, obedience was his duty.
"Also, you have an additional task from now on."
Long Aotian's voice sounded again, still calm, yet it made Ao Yuan's heart tighten.
"That is to challenge Qin Yan during every end-of-month assessment. Do you hear me?"
Challenge him every end-of-month assessment?
Ao Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said, "This subordinate obeys."
"You may go."
Long Aotian waved his hand.
"This subordinate takes his leave."
Ao Yuan bowed, then stepped back a few paces, turned, and left the room.
He closed the door gently, his footsteps light, not daring to make a single sound.
After Ao Yuan left, the room fell into silence.
Long Aotian stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moon outside the window, lost in thought.
What he was thinking about was not Qin Yan's matters.
Although Qin Yan had caught his attention, it wasn't enough to make him expend too much mental effort.
What he truly took to heart were the other Prodigies who had cleared the Heavenly Ladder.
Lin Ruoxi, the Princess of the Great Xia, with seven complete Sword Intents, was currently preparing to condense her Supreme Sword Intent; her strength was unfathomable.
Zhao Wuji, the Young Lord of the Wuji Sect, with an outrageously strong Physical Body, was said to have already reached the Late Stage of the Sixth-Rank Martial Artist level.
Feng Wuji, born with a Wind Spirit Physique, had astonishing speed, unmatched among his peers.
Beichen Xing, the Prince of the Beichen Imperial Dynasty, imbued with the Imperial Qi, possessed an incomparably domineering Cultivation Technique.
Su Qingwan, the proud daughter of the Book Sect, with 400 Hz of Mental Energy, equivalent to a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, had strange and difficult-to-defend methods.
And Huang Jiuli, Xiao Tianci...
These people were his true opponents!
Long Aotian's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint arc curved at the corner of his mouth.
"Then let us see, in this East Courtyard competition, who will ultimately be able to seize the position of Saint!"
As his voice faded, he turned and walked to the center of the room.
He sat cross-legged.
His eyes closed slightly.
Dragon Qi surged around his body; that golden Dragon Qi poured out from his body like clouds and mist, slowly condensing behind him, eventually forming the phantom of a three-clawed golden Dragon!
The phantom was lifelike, the Dragon scales clearly visible, the Dragon eyes majestic and domineering, emitting a terrifying Dragon might!
At the same time, on the surface of his skin, golden Dragon scales slowly grew out piece by piece!
Those Dragon scales were fine and hard, covering his arms, neck, and cheeks, shimmering with a faint golden light under the moonlight.
This was the unique defensive form of the Dragon Clan; once activated, the defense of his Physical Body would be greatly enhanced.
He just cultivated quietly like this, breathing in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, tempering his Physical Body and True Qi.
The moonlight fell, reflecting his noble and majestic figure.
...
The next day, November 1st.
Qin Yan finished his morning training, let out a long breath, and retracted his moyuan spirit weapon into his body.
He opened his token to check this month's rewards.
First was the taixuan points, which had reached an astonishing 150 points!
Qin Yan was slightly taken aback, then immediately checked the details.
First was his monthly stipend as a Special Grade Disciple, which was 50 points.
This was fixed and provided every month.
The remaining 100 points were the rewards for clearing the Heavenly Ladder!
"I didn't expect there to be so many rewards for clearing the Heavenly Ladder; not bad."
Qin Yan nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, Qin Yan opened his token and began to operate it.
He exchanged for five bottles of five elements spirit pill.
This didn't cost any taixuan points; it was a benefit belonging to Special Grade Disciples.
Five bottles could be claimed for free every month, which was a special privilege of Special Grade Disciples.
Before long, someone delivered the Medicinal Pill to Qin Yan's courtyard.
After receiving the Medicinal Pill, Qin Yan activated his Cultivation Technique and began to refine it.
(The rating went up by another 0.1, reaching 7.5, adding an extra chapter~)
