After returning to the Hillside Small Courtyard on Sect Master Peak, Lin Mo entered the Gourd Space immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
Break through to the seventh layer of Qi Refining!
The sect was practically empty now. Almost all the War Hall elites had poured out in force, and many disciples from the Talisman Hall and Sword Hall had also been dispatched. Only a handful of Inner Sect elders remained.
Even if Lin Mo was this year's Spirit Plant Grand Competition champion, who would pay him any attention?
He had prepared plenty of explanations beforehand to patch up his lies and account for his cultivation. Now, it seemed there was clearly no need.
Since that was the case, he no longer needed to hide his strength. He would cross the final watershed of the Qi Refining stage as quickly as possible and usher in the first great transformation of his cultivation!
"Mid-grade spirit spring water... you'd better not disappoint me!"
Inside the gourd, beside the stream bordering the mountain wilderness.
Lin Mo bent down and filled a teacup he had prepared in advance with ten drops of stream water. Then he tipped back his head and swallowed it all.
Outside, ten drops of spirit spring water were just ten drops. However much he poured from the Treasure Gourd was exactly how much he got.
But here, inside the gourd, losing ten drops of water caused even the river's water level to fall ever so slightly, and its current grew particularly swift.
"The Treasure Gourd... truly is miraculous!"
Lin Mo marveled inwardly, then put all other thoughts aside. He swiftly circulated the Five-Element Cultivation Method and launched his fiercest assault on the bottleneck barring his way to the seventh layer of Qi Refining.
The result was just as he expected.
