Chapter 125: Gathering Spirit Cave

  The trial was held in the government office courtyard. Outside the courtyard, a row of candles and rice were still arranged.

  "Clan leader, news has just arrived from Huang Ye Town that Xia Shuo, the young master of the Xia family, has driven away all the wild beasts that invaded Huang Ye Town." A white-browed and black-bearded old man spoke in a low voice, he was Xi Mu, the fifth elder of the Xi family.

  Sitting right in front of him was none other than Xi Po Tian, the current head of the Xi family.

  "Hmph, this kid indeed has some skills. A while ago, he even went to the Forest of Evil and returned safely." Xi Po Tian let out a cold hum, his eyes flashing with a hint of forest light.

  "Damn it!"

  As a fifteen-year-old youth, Xia Yan was able to repel the beasts of Huang Ye Town, which was indeed not easy. Even experienced elders might not be able to repel the beasts so quickly.

  As for what happened to the Xia family, the Xi family was naturally even more concerned. Since Xi Po Tian's son Xi Qiu Shui was killed by Xia Yan, Xi Po Tian had been paying attention to Xia Yan at all times.

  Would rather have Xia Yan's corpse cut into ten thousand pieces.

  Thinking of his son's miserable death, Xi Po Tian's whole body would uncontrollably tremble for a moment. His face would also become extremely terrifying.

  But this involves two families, so he can't act rashly. Moreover, many of the attendants in the Holy Temple are quite concerned about Xia Yan, and if he were to force his way against Xia Yan, it's likely that the entire power of Yushui City would turn against the Xi family.

  Xī is as cunning as a fox and won't act rashly. As the head of the Xī family, he has to consider the entire Xī household!

  The five elders' eyes flashed, and a cold smile spread across their faces. "Heh heh, that little scoundrel Xia Yan will be gloating for only a few more days!"

  I have already discussed and agreed on the terms with Nishikawa.

  Nishikawa promised, "Within a month, I will definitely kill Xia Yan!" Xi Mu's eyes narrowed slightly. At the same time, he made a slashing gesture with his hand, speaking in an angry tone.

  "Hmm! Nishikawa has made his move, it should be fine. I've seen him participate in the Extreme Challenge Conference, his strength is extremely powerful. I think he's already entered the realm of a Spiritual Master!" Xī Pò Tiān nodded.

  Xī Mù smiled slyly, "If Xia Jia's Xia Yan dies, their strength will be greatly weakened. If we take this opportunity to strike again, I'm afraid..."

  "Hehe,"

  The two of them looked at each other with their four eyes, and smiled slyly.

  If Xia Yan were to suddenly die, it would undoubtedly have a huge impact on the Xia family! Now the whole Jade Water City knows about Xia Yan of the Xia family.

  "Wu Lao, this matter must be handled with caution. This news absolutely cannot be known by anyone outside of us." Xi Po Tian said in a low and serious tone.

  "Clan leader, don't worry!" Xi Mu nodded and said, "I know what to do!"

  "Alas, still can't!"

  Xia Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, once again withdrawing his energy, and opened his eyes with a sigh.

  He can't remember how many times he tried to speed up the transformation of his inner power into spiritual power, but he couldn't make any progress. The speed at which his inner power transformed into spiritual power did not accelerate at all.

  At this rate, it's likely to take at least a year to fully convert internal energy into spiritual energy.

  Xia Yan also felt some anxiety!

  Although he had already entered the realm of a spiritual master, he was still unable to exert his power as a spiritual master, and Xia Yan was naturally anxious. However, being anxious didn't help, and all he could do was take it slow.

  The earth dog is placed in the left wing of the temple

  Xia Yan is in the main hall, Xiao Qing is in the east wing room, and the earth dog is in the west wing room.

  "These two days, even the fusion speed of 'Tian Can Lei Pu Zhang' has slowed down a lot. A week ago, it had already fused nearly 50%. And now, there's still no progress with this kind of pace!" Xia Yan shook his head, his eyebrows furrowed.

  "My mental endurance is completely unable to meet my current needs! Even if I enter the Violet Leaf Academy, I won't be able to assimilate those secret classics!" Xia Yan got down from the bed, "And I don't know what the Holy Emperor Grandfather has been doing these past few days, he hasn't shown up at all."

  Ever since Xia Yan successfully broke through the spiritual master's boundary, the old Holy Emperor has never appeared again, as if he had completely disappeared.

  Splash!

  Just as Xia Yan was about to go out for a walk, there was an energy fluctuation in the room. Then, Xia Yan saw a shadowy figure gradually taking shape in front of him.

  "Emperor Sheng?" Xia Yan exclaimed in surprise.

  No one to guide him was indeed frustrating. Xia Yan also increasingly felt that cultivating alone had many difficulties.

  "What's this? You're so eager to see me?" The old emperor stroked his beard and said.

  Xia Yan smiled and said: "Of course, I haven't seen him for a few days, so I miss the Holy Emperor Grandfather very much."

  Only in front of Sheng Huang Lao Tou would Xia Yan occasionally show this unrestrained posture.

  Since his mother's death, Xia Yan has never relaxed. In everyone's eyes, Xia Yan seemed to have no childhood at all. His life was all about cultivating, cultivating and cultivating again.

  "Ah, you've encountered something you can't understand in your cultivation, haven't you?" The old emperor's eyes rolled around as he looked at Xia Yan and muttered to himself.

  Xia Yan smiled and rubbed his forehead. "Uh, my Qi gathering is too slow. Holy Emperor Grandfather, am I using the wrong method?"

  "Or is there another way to catalyze the transformation of internal energy into spiritual energy?"

  Xia Yan urged the inner force to enter the Ling Spirit Cave, but still didn't see any effect. So he had always been suspicious. Was there another way to convert the inner force into spiritual power?

  The old emperor sighed and said in a deep voice, "Gather your words. The root of the needle is like a thin thread that can enter every eye. That's easy. But if you want to insert a thick wooden stick, no matter how hard you try, can you succeed?"

  Xia Yan was stunned!

  He suddenly understood that it wasn't his method that was wrong, but rather his spiritual cave was just a bit too small, and could only slowly transform his inner power. Hurrying wouldn't work either.

  However

  The old emperor suddenly changed his tone and smiled eerily at Xia Yan.

  "But what?"

  Upon hearing this, Xia Yan suddenly became excited. Apparently, the old Holy Emperor still had other methods.

  "Your spiritual gathering cave has just been successfully condensed. Of course, if you follow the normal cultivation process, even if you spend a year's time, you may not be able to fully convert your internal energy into spiritual energy. But if you use medicine to make the spiritual gathering cave grow quickly, it's different." The old Holy Emperor said with a smile.

  "Ah?" Xia Yan was shocked again.

  "Is there a medicine that can make the Soul Gathering Cave grow quickly?" Xia Yan asked with a frown after waking up with a start.

  "Others may not, but I am the Sacred Emperor!" The old Sacred Emperor chuckled and said with a hint of meaning, "Listen carefully. Prepare all the medicinal herbs below. Ah, your current spiritual power is still unable to refine elixirs, otherwise directly refining elixirs would be even more effective."

  The old emperor shook his head, then suddenly lit up with a bright idea, "Listen carefully"

  This time, the old emperor consecutively mentioned twenty-three kinds of medicinal materials. Among them, eight were relatively common low-grade and mid-grade medicinal materials, another eight were not too common but could be bought at some pharmacies with a higher price for low-grade and mid-grade medicinal materials. The last seven kinds of medicinal materials were extremely difficult to obtain. Especially one kind called Blood Lingcao, which was a high-grade medicinal material. It's likely that it can only be obtained through an auction house.

  After listening to what the old emperor said about these medicinal materials, Xia Yan's eyebrows were almost all scrunched up. However, for the sake of cultivating and increasing his strength, no matter how difficult it was, he couldn't let it become an obstacle.

  "Your dog is great!"

  After finishing talking about medicinal materials, the old emperor suddenly mentioned the local dog that Xia Yan had brought back.

  Xia Yan's actions in Huang Ye Town's Hei Feng Mountain were naturally clear to the Holy Emperor. He, of course, also knew that the earth dog was actually a phantom wolf.

  Xia Yan's eyes flickered and he shook his head. "That is the Phantom Wolf, which I encountered in Huang Ye Town. Originally, I was going to kill it, but later on, I don't know why it followed me."

  "It's not an ordinary phantom wolf, as for what it is, I'm not quite sure yet. In short, this earth dog is extraordinary. Xia Yan, perhaps in the future it will be of great help to you." The old Holy Emperor's eyes flashed and he nodded thoughtfully.

  Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat, somewhat puzzled. "Not an ordinary phantom wolf?"

  "Yes! As far as I know, it should be a higher-ranking wolf tribe than the Phantom Wolf, and now I can confirm that it should be a Spiritual Beast." The Holy Emperor said in a condensed voice.

  "Ah? No wonder!" It could understand what I was saying and even transform! Xia Yan was first shocked, then delighted.

  This time in Heifeng Mountain, not only did I obtain a rare and precious Lingual Orchid, but also picked up a special spiritual beast. The key is that this spiritual beast is now willingly following Xia Yan.

  Such good things, ordinary people can't get them anyway

  Having a spiritual beast as a pet is something unheard of. Even the strong practitioners of the Spiritual Sect probably can't find a spiritual beast to keep as a pet, right?

  "Hehe" The old emperor stroked his beard and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

  There are less than twenty days until September. Before September, Xia Yan must go to Zǐyè City to attend the entrance examination of Zǐyè College.

  With Xia Yan's current strength, entering Violet Leaf Academy shouldn't be too difficult. Even without the recommendation quota from the County City Holy Temple, Violet Leaf Academy wouldn't push a talented spirit master like him out of the school gates.

  To know that in the entire Dragon Continent, there are twelve first-rate academies like the Violet Leaf Academy. And then there are three academies whose strength surpasses even these first-rate academies.

  Zi Ye College also wants to become the fourth super first-class college!

  Of course, among the young cultivators under the jurisdiction of Zǐyè City, the most yearned-for academy is still Zǐyè Academy. After all, it's the best local academy.

  "Right, Holy Emperor Grandfather, my spiritual endurance seems to have stopped improving recently. I originally thought that after entering the realm of a Spiritual Master, my fusion of martial techniques would speed up, but now even the Human Grade Secret Classics I'm fusing don't seem to be making any progress anymore." Xia Yan thought of the "Tian Gang Pi Li Palm" he was currently fusing and couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  Spirit masters also need to use martial skills to fight. Even the strongest spirit master, if they don't have strong martial skills to complement them, their actual strength will be limited.

  "Heh heh, didn't you have a Tongue Orchid? Put it away for now, we'll be using it soon!" The Holy Emperor said without directly answering Xia Yan's question.

  He furrowed his brow and looked at the old Holy Emperor with a gaze, "Sparrow tongue"

  Just said two words!

  Benefit!

  The old emperor flashed again and disappeared in the room.
