720: Chapter 720 The Prodigy Departs!

With every thrust of the spear, the progress of his Destruction Spear Intent increased by a little bit;

With every retraction of the spear, his understanding of the Spear Intent deepened by a little bit.

His Skill Points were also slowly increasing.

However, Qin Yan did not invest the obtained Skill Points into Alchemy anymore.

His Alchemy was already at the Sixth-Rank Alchemist level, capable of refining Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pills.

And his current Realm had reached the limit of the Sixth Rank in every aspect—Qi Refining Rank 6 Peak, Body Refining Rank 6 Peak, and Mental Energy at 499 Hz.

Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pills were already almost useless to him.

His current top priority was to Cultivate the Supreme-Grade Intent of Destruction Spear Intent, and then Breakthrough to Grandmaster!

And if he wanted to Breakthrough to Grandmaster and condense a Golden Body, there was still one hard condition—the progress of the first layer of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture had to be improved further, reaching 100%!

Only by fully mastering the Fusion of the five-attribute True Qi could he condense a Qi Refining Golden Body.

The unification of the Five Elements was not the end, but the starting point.

Only by Cultivating the Fusion of the Five Elements to Perfection could he use the power of the Five Elements as a Foundation to condense a Qi Refining Golden Body.

Therefore, his next focus and goal were very clear—train, and add points to the Five Elements Primordial Scripture.

While training his Spear Technique to improve his Destruction Spear Intent, he would simultaneously invest the obtained Skill Points into the Five Elements Primordial Scripture to increase the Cultivation Technique's progress.

Pursuing both simultaneously, advancing side by side.

Cultivation knows no time; time flowed slowly.

...

Time arrived at May 21st.

Inside the Immortal Cave, Qin Yan sat cross-legged with the moyuan spirit weapon lying horizontally across his knees.

He had just completed a round of training and was preparing to take a short rest before continuing.

Just at this moment, he felt a jolt in his spirit within his mind!

It was as if something was crashing out of a cocoon deep within his Soul.

Ripples spread outward from the center of his mental world.

Wherever the ripples passed, the mental world became clearer, brighter, and more stable.

Qin Yan felt that his perception of the heavens and earth had suddenly become clear.

That clarity was not visual clarity, but a more essential and direct perception.

With a wave of his hand, the Darkness Power surged.

Black mist condensed into a small vortex in his palm, the vortex rotating slowly, swallowing the surrounding air.

That power was purer, more solid, and more powerful than before.

He could clearly feel that invoking the Darkness Power at this moment had become easier and more handy.

Previously, invoking the Darkness Power required concentrating his spirit and consuming a large amount of Mental Energy.

But now, it only required a single thought, and the Darkness Power would automatically respond.

Moreover, the consumption of his spirit had also decreased significantly.

Previously, casting the Darkness Domain once would consume a large chunk of his Mental Energy, requiring a long time to recover.

Now, the consumption was reduced by at least half, and he could likely cast it twice in a row without feeling strained.

Qin Yan's heart stirred, and he immediately opened the panel to look at the Mental Energy column.

[Mental Energy: 499.5 Hz]

Sure enough, in the Mental Energy column of the panel, his Mental Energy had reached 499.5 Hz.

Looking at this number, Qin Yan's lips curled up slightly.

After many days, his, Qin Yan's, Mental Energy had also reached 499.5 Hz!

Mental Energy Cultivation gets harder as one goes higher.

After 499 Hz, every increase of one Hz requires a massive amount of perception and accumulation.

"With my current strength, crushing that Xiao Han to death would be simply too easy."

Qin Yan thought.

His current strength, compared to a few days ago, had undergone earth-shaking changes.

A few days ago, he still needed to rack his brains, using a series of means like Five Elements Block, Four Phantoms, Dark Altar, and Abyss Fire Lotus, to barely defeat Xiao Han.

But now—

Qi Refining Rank 6 Peak, Five Elements Wonderful Tree formed, innate skill Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Seal.

Mental Energy 499.5 Hz.

"If we fought again, I wouldn't need to use the Abyss Fire Lotus to win."

Qin Yan felt confident in his heart.

Immediately, Qin Yan withdrew his thoughts and continued training.

The long spear danced, and spear shadows were numerous.

...

May 23rd. Lin Ruoxi requested leave, asked to return to her hometown, and left the Taixuan Holy Land.

May 25th. Feng Wuji requested leave, also asked to return to his hometown, and left the Taixuan Holy Land.

May 26th. Long Aotian requested leave, Su Qingwan requested leave. The two, one after the other, left the Taixuan Holy Land.

When Long Aotian left, his expression was grave, and a hint of urgency flashed in his golden Dragon pupils;

When Su Qingwan left, her expression was calm, but her pace was much faster than usual.

This action drew Qin Yan's attention.

If one or two Prodigies left the Taixuan Holy Land, Qin Yan might have thought it was a coincidence.

But four in a row—three Prodigies who had condensed a Supreme-Grade Intent, and one proud daughter of heaven whose Mental Energy had reached 499.5 Hz—four of the Holy Land's top Prodigies leaving one after another in just four days, this was a bit unusual.

Qin Yan expressed his lack of understanding.

Qin Yan immediately took out his token to contact Huang Jiuli.

"Jiuli, do you know why Lin Ruoxi and the others left?"

The message was sent, waiting for a reply.

He waited for a while, but there was no reply.

Qin Yan sent another one.

Still no reply.

"What is this Jiuli doing?"

Qin Yan thought to himself.

He decided to go to Huang Jiuli's Immortal Cave to take a look himself.

Qin Yan left his own Immortal Cave, crossed a few mountain paths, and arrived in front of Huang Jiuli's Immortal Cave.

The door of the Immortal Cave was tightly shut.

On the stone wall in front of the door, three large characters were carved—"In Seclusion".

"She is actually in seclusion."

Qin Yan shook his head.

He could not disturb her.

When breaking through, external interference is the most taboo thing.

Qin Yan stood in front of the Immortal Cave, was silent for a moment, and turned to leave.

"I can only find someone else."

He thought to himself.

...

May 27th.

Ziyun Garden.

Qin Yan and Jiang Li sat opposite each other.

The two sat by the window, sunlight streaming in through the window, casting mottled light and shadows on the table.

In front of them were rows of Spiritual Food.

Steamed Green-Scaled Dragon Fish, Glazed Jade Shrimp, Three-Colored Spiritual Mushroom Soup...

Although not Seventh-Rank Spiritual Food, they were the best among the Sixth-Rank.

The aroma was pungent, and the colors were enticing.

"Qin Yan, I wonder what important matter you have for seeking me out?"

Jiang Li asked, looking at Qin Yan with her eyes.

She wore a Holy Land white robe, her long hair tied high into a neat ponytail.

Her features were three-dimensional, her figure tall, and she was full of heroic spirit.

She knew this guy Qin Yan very well.

He was a thorough training maniac who viewed Cultivation as his life.

Now that he was actually asking her to eat, there must be something going on.

"He wouldn't visit the temple without a reason."

Jiang Li thought to herself.

Qin Yan put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Jiang Li.

"Jiang Li, I wonder if you have noticed that Long Aotian, Lin Ruoxi, and the others have left the Holy Land one after another these past few days."

"Do you know why this is?"

Qin Yan got straight to the point.

Jiang Li was a Prodigy herself, powerful, and backed by a True Emperor Family; she should be able to resolve his doubts.

After hearing Qin Yan's words, Jiang Li raised her eyebrows.
