The next day.
After breakfast, Lin Yi first distributed the pills to Lin Dong and Qing Tan, then the three of them began their daily cultivation.
After completing their daily cultivation, Lin Yi, Lin Dong, and Qing Tan headed to the family's martial arts hall to choose suitable martial arts.
Due to cultivation restrictions, Qing Tan and Lin Dong both chose only Grade 2 martial arts.
The martial art Qing Tan chose was called Roaming Body Palm.
Lin Dong, on the other hand, chose Spirit Sword Finger, the same one Lin Xia practiced.
Lin Yi's gaze, however, fell upon the bookshelf where Grade 3 martial arts were located. After searching, he found a damaged martial art placed in a corner: Mysterious Gate Seal.
In the Lin Family's martial arts hall, the only thing worth his attention was this Mysterious Gate Seal.
After all, he could use the Stone Talisman to deduce and perfect this incomplete martial art.
"Brother Lin Yi, why did you choose an incomplete martial art?" Qing Tan came over, seeing Lin Yi's choice with some confusion.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "This martial art, even as a fragment, has already reached Grade 3. If it can be perfected, it can at least reach Grade 4."
"With Big Brother's talent in martial arts, perhaps he can truly perfect this martial art," Lin Dong, standing beside them, understood Lin Yi's choice very well.
"Since we've all chosen our martial arts, let's go," Lin Yi smiled, not continuing the topic.
Afterward, the three of them, carrying their chosen martial arts and completing the registration, left the martial arts hall together.
That night, Lin Yi's figure reappeared in the mysterious mental space.
As his figure appeared, two light figures followed closely, each demonstrating Tong Bei Fist and Eight Desolations Palm respectively.
After a while, a new light figure formed in the darkness behind the second light figure.
As soon as the light figure took shape, it brought its hands together, forming a complex hand seal, which was the opening move of Mysterious Gate Seal.
Lin Yi's eyes were fixed on the light figure, with anticipation in his gaze.
Under Lin Yi's expectant gaze, the light figure first performed all seven hand seals recorded in the fragment of Mysterious Gate Seal, then it changed to the eighth hand seal, and then the ninth...
Gradually, the light figure dimmed considerably, and the speed at which it changed hand seals began to slow down.
"It seems the energy is insufficient..." The Mysterious Gate Seal was not yet completely perfected, and Lin Yi felt a slight regret, but he was not flustered by this change.
As early as when Lin Yi entered the Body Tempering Seventh Level, the Stone Talisman had been embedded into his palm using Yuan Power as a conduit.
Besides absorbing energy from the heavens and earth autonomously, the Stone Talisman could also be supplied with Yuan Power.
As his strength increased and the Yuan Power in his body grew, the energy consumed by the Stone Talisman could naturally be replenished.
With the Stone Talisman temporarily lacking energy, Lin Yi was not in a hurry and followed the light figure, practicing the initial hand seals of Mysterious Gate Seal.
In the following days, Lin Yi once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.
Under Lin Yi's diligent practice, another month and a half passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the spirit medicine pills Lin Yi had previously refined were all depleted, and a considerable amount of Stone Talisman Spirit Liquid had also been consumed.
In addition, he had refined many Yin Beads, and his Yuan Power seemed to faintly contain traces of Yin Sha Qi.
However, it still felt like he was just a step away from breaking through to the Earth Yuan Stage.
In a clearing within the forest, Lin Yi sat with his eyes closed, refining the last spirit medicine pill.
After a long while, Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath, "Soon, I should be able to break through to the Earth Yuan Stage in these few days..."
Sensing the changes in the Yuan Power within his body, Lin Yi murmured, a hint of anticipation in his expression.
"Brother Lin Yi!"
Just then, a sweet voice suddenly sounded from not far away. Immediately, Qing Tan's sprite-like figure flashed through the trees and appeared beside Lin Yi, her small face flushed and full of joy.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yi stood up, smiling as he met Qing Tan.
Qing Tan giggled, "I just broke through to Body Tempering Eighth Level!"
"Qing Tan, you're amazing!" Lin Yi said with a smile upon hearing this.
He had to admit that Qing Tan's cultivation talent was far superior to his and Lin Dong's.
In the past month and a half, apart from the reward from the Clan Competition, Lin Yi had given her three pills, and she hadn't used any other cultivation resources!
It had taken Lin Yi quite a few pills and Stone Talisman Spirit Liquid to go from Body Tempering Seventh Level to Eighth Level back then.
"Hehe, maybe someday I'll surpass Brother Lin Yi," Qing Tan said playfully, feeling very happy hearing Lin Yi's praise.
"Yes, our Qing Tan is the best, I feel immense pressure," Lin Yi reached out and ruffled Qing Tan's hair, chuckling.
However, the moment his palm touched Qing Tan's head, his right palm, which concealed the Stone Talisman, suddenly emitted a dazzling beam of light.
The instant the bright light appeared, Qing Tan's vision went black, and she fainted.
As Qing Tan fainted, a powerful suction force erupted from Lin Yi's palm again.
Under this suction, the terrifying Yin Sha Qi within Qing Tan's body surged out like a tide, and then, along Lin Yi's palm, it madly poured into him.
"This scene..."
Under the erosion of that terrifying cold energy, a thin layer of ice quickly spread across Lin Yi's body surface.
At this moment, his entire person bizarrely transformed into an ice statue.
The Yin Sha Qi that surged into his body from Qing Tan this time was terrifyingly cold and violent.
That level of Yin Sha Qi was completely incomparable to the cold energy he had previously absorbed from the Yin Bead.
Lin Yi's control over his body completely vanished as it became covered in ice.
The biting cold energy, like steel needles, fiercely pierced every part of his body.
Under that excruciating pain, Lin Yi's internal organs, flesh, and blood even showed signs of distortion, and the flow of his blood slowed down...
Under the erosion of the cold energy, Lin Yi's consciousness gradually began to blur.
However, just as his consciousness was about to plunge into complete darkness, the mysterious Stone Talisman hidden in his right palm made a move again.
A suction force erupted from within the Stone Talisman, and then, the Yin Sha Qi that permeated every inch of Lin Yi's body rapidly receded, finally being completely swallowed into the Stone Talisman.
"Buzz buzz."
Following that, the Stone Talisman trembled slightly, and a trace of ice-blue cold energy actually seeped out from within it. It then followed Lin Yi's meridians and swiftly shot towards his Dantian.
Although this trace of ice-blue cold energy was small in quantity, Lin Yi felt a sense of palpitations from it.
The ice-blue cold energy directly rushed into the Dantian without any obstruction.
Then, Lin Yi felt an extremely fiery battle erupt within his Dantian.
When nearly seventy to eighty percent of the Yuan Power in his Dantian was consumed by that trace of ice-blue cold energy, the two finally began to slowly fuse.
As they gradually fused, the Yuan Power, which originally had no specific color, surprisingly turned deep blue.
And the Yuan Power Seed, which was originally the size of a fist, transformed into a mass of ice-blue gaseous energy at this moment.
As the ice-blue gaseous energy mass took shape, Lin Yi's body suddenly trembled, and a powerful feeling he had never experienced before surged rapidly from the depths of his heart.
"Crack, crack..."
The ice layer gradually shattered, and ice chunks fell off continuously.
Lin Yi's consciousness sank into his Dantian; this was the first time he had "seen" his own Dantian.
The ice-blue gaseous energy mass looked extremely captivating. It rotated slowly, with wisps of Yuan Power carrying cold energy swirling around it, ready to be commanded by Lin Yi at any time.
Lin Yi withdrew his consciousness from his Dantian, his eyes tightly shut. A peculiar fluctuation spread from his mind, mapping the surroundings within a radius of tens of meters into his mind with incredible clarity.
At this moment, he had successfully entered the Earth Yuan Stage!
