Murong Yin Advances to the Grandmaster Realm
Yunzhou launched a search operation for the people in Corpse Valley, which lasted for more than half a year before gradually subsiding and then transitioning to routine management.
The operation was quite successful; they found some people from Corpse Valley in the surrounding counties.
However, the last Grandmaster of Corpse Valley has not been found anywhere in Yunzhou, so he must have gone to other states to cause trouble.
According to Jiang Liu's guess, they should have gone to Feng Province or Zhen Province, because both the Lotus Sect and the White Saint Society have a history of cooperating with Corpse Valley.
However, Jiang Liu wasn't in the mood to pay much attention to him at the moment, as long as he didn't cause trouble in Yunzhou.
Now, under the governance of the Jiang Liu, the entire Yunzhou is peaceful and tranquil, with ordinary people and martial artists living and working in peace and contentment.
The phenomenon of martial artists showing off their power has disappeared. Now, even people from nearby Xun Province are flocking to Yunzhou to settle down.
The people who had fled Yunzhou were gradually starting to return after receiving the message.
During this period, Jiang Liu could feel the exhilaration of his cultivation. The occasional sluggishness he used to experience when cultivating the Saintly Sky Art was gradually disappearing.
Jiang Liu knew this was because he had been absorbing more and more Special Essence Particles during this period, and a small piece of the solid elemental energy in his body had already begun to transform into these Special Essence Particles.
Jiang Liu didn't know what would happen if all his solidified Yuan Qi were transformed into this special Yuan Qi, but his combat power would definitely increase again.
However, a very important matter now lies before Jiang Liu: Murong Yin is preparing to advance to the rank of Junior Minor Grandmaster.
Murong Yin had been honing his skills at the Rank 9 Martial Practitioner level for a long time, and had not yet made up his mind whether or not to advance to the next rank.
She feared that if she failed to advance, her meridians would be severed at best, and her soul would dissipate, forever separating her from Jiang Liu.
However, as Jiang Liu's strength improved day by day, she was afraid that she would hold Jiang Liu back and be unable to help Jiang Liu in the future.
Moreover, after Jiang Liu taught her the Wind and Feng Yue Soul Technique, her spiritual power cultivation improved day by day, which gave her the courage and confidence to advance to the next level.
That day, in the center of the square where Jiang Liu usually cultivated, Murong Yin sat cross-legged, Jiang Liu stood guard on one side, and Feng Yue sat at a stone table on the edge of the square.
In front of Murong Yin were auxiliary pills for advancing to the next level. These were all rewards that Jiang Liu had obtained in the Martial Arts Tournament, and now they were all being used by Murong Yin for advancing to the next level.
Murong Yin began to circulate his inner energy, absorbing vital energy. The surrounding Essence Particles slowly flowed into Murong Yin's meridians.
Jiang Liu then spread his Divine Sense to cover the entire courtyard, preventing anyone from disturbing it.
As Murong Yin increased the speed of his cultivation technique, the speed at which he absorbed Essence Particles also increased, and Murong Yin put the Primal Return Pill into his mouth.
Of course, in Jiang Liu's view, these speed-ups were less than one percent of his usual cultivation speed.
Even now, the speed at which Murong Yin absorbs the Essence Particles is as slow as a gentle breeze, in Jiang Liu's perception.
Not long after, Murong Yin put the Essence Solidifying Pill into his mouth again. Afterwards, Murong Yin's aura began to intensify.
After a while, Murong Yin's body trembled, which meant that the vital energy in her body had finally solidified completely. Then she would enter the most important stage of overcoming the inner demon.
Once you overcome your inner demons, you'll reach the stage of transforming Divine Sense. Almost everyone can pass this stage; the difference lies only in the extent to which their sea of consciousness expands.
After Murong Yin's vital energy was completely solidified, he immediately took out the Demon Transformation Pill and put it in his mouth.
After a while, Murong Yin suddenly asked the air, "Husband, will you leave me?"
Jiang Liu knew that Murong Yin's inner demon had arrived. He never expected that he would become Murong Yin's inner demon.
When Feng Yue heard Murong Yin's question, a nervous expression appeared on her face.
This is a necessary stage for the Grandmaster Realm. By watching Murong Yin advance, she can better understand what challenges she will face and how to overcome them.
Then, Murong Yin started crying again, followed by heart-wrenching sobs.
However, Jiang Liu still couldn't offer any words of comfort; she had to overcome the obstacle on her own.
If Jiang Liu were to offer words of comfort now, it would very likely interrupt Murong Yin's advancement, causing Murong Yin to fail at the last minute.
"My Husband, you're back. I knew you couldn't bear to leave me; you've come back to see me." A happy smile appeared on Murong Yin's face.
Jiang Liu shook his head. He still hadn't overcome his inner demons! It seemed that Murong Yin's inner demons were quite deep. This was the difficulty of a martial artist advancing in rank, and it was only natural.
However, Jiang Liu didn't have this worry at all and advanced directly. Therefore, Jiang Liu can be considered a prime example of being carefree and thoughtless.
Why is it difficult for young people to advance to the Grandmaster Realm? The main reason is that they have experienced less, haven't gone through the hardships of life, the seven emotions and six desires, and find it difficult to overcome the inner demons.
Murong Yin is currently stuck on the issue of love, and it's uncertain whether she can overcome it.
Jiang Liu was very worried. If Murong Yin failed to advance this time, he could be considered half-crippled.
"Husband, I will help you properly. I will work hard and catch up in cultivation. I won't hold you back." Murong Yin finished speaking, a resolute expression appeared on his face.
Instantly, a Divine Sense emanated from Murong Yin's body, and it spread very quickly, initially reaching a distance of ten meters.
Then it jumped directly to 100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters... 600 meters, 601 meters, and still didn't stop, finally stopping at a little over 700 meters.
Jiang Liu's face lit up with joy. Murong Yin had finally succeeded in advancing to the next level, and her success was related to him. Perhaps when emotions run deep, one can overcome inner demons.
Murong Yin's initial Divine Sense range was over 700 meters, which seems to be an enhancement from Soul Refining Technique.
After Murong Yin's Divine Sense range stopped expanding, he unleashed the aura of a Minor Grandmaster, which began to spread outwards from the plaza.
Then a gust of wind swept up from Murong Yin's body and spread across the entire square. Murong Yin had chosen the wind element as his main offensive method at the Grandmaster Realm.
Jiang Liu immediately used his Divine Sense to block the spread of Murong Yin's grandmaster aura, because if he didn't stop it, Feng Yue, who was sitting to the side, might get injured.
Murong Yin continued meditating to consolidate his cultivation after advancing to the next level before slowly opening his eyes. He immediately saw Jiang Liu sitting to the side, watching him.
Unable to contain his joy, Murong Yin leaped forward and pounced towards Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu opened his arms and caught Murong Yin. Seeing her excited expression, he kissed her directly.
Feng Yue stared at the two of them in astonishment. She had no idea what was going on. How could they have gotten so entangled when she was advancing her cultivation level?
However, the two stopped not long afterward, as it was only due to Murong Yin's momentary excitement.
Seeing that the two had stopped, Feng Yue quickly came over and asked Murong Yin, "Sister, did you successfully advance to the next level?"
Although Feng Yue had already sensed the aura of Minor Grandmaster from Murong Yin, she still wanted to confirm it.
Murong Yin nodded and said, "Sister, you can refer to this when you advance in the future. I will tell you my experience in advancing."
Feng Yue nodded, looking at Murong Yin with envy.
Jiang Liu then said from the side, "Alright, now that Yin'er has successfully advanced, would you like to throw a Grandmaster banquet to celebrate?"
Murong Yin shook his head and said, "I don't want to be too high-profile. It's enough for just the few of us to celebrate."
Jiang Liu nodded, and then sent a telepathic message to the guards at the courtyard gate, instructing the kitchen to prepare a banquet.
