This martial art has finally reached the threshold.

He made a quick calculation in his mind, and found that activating Arhat Phantom just now consumed about 20% of his spiritual energy and 30% of Qi and Blood's power. In his current state, he could only sustain about one stick of incense at most.

But as the proficiency increases, the consumption of spiritual power and Qi and Blood should be able to be further reduced. And currently, only one phantom has been condensed. In fact, Arhat Phantom has both arms and can punch and palm.

However, consumption is also an issue. If Arhat Dharma Aspect Body is used at the same time, if it is also used to activate other martial arts, the power of Qi and Blood that maintains the Dharma will be consumed very quickly. If Arhat Fist is exerting its full force, the time may be shortened by half.

After one stick of incense, Qin Tiexin finished his work. Arhat Phantom slowly faded in the air, and finally turned into a wisp of light golden smoke and dissipated.

He sat down against the wall, took out the last few pieces of Demon Beast dried meat from the storage ring, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, feeling that the Fire of Life in his ventricle was slowly recovering the consumed Qi and Blood. The tenth cyclone had also stopped rotating in the opposite direction and sank back to the bottom of Dantian.

This thing can not only speed up cultivation, but can also be used as a second spiritual power pump at critical moments. Although I still don't understand what it is, so far, it has brought all benefits.

For this reason alone, it is worth remembering.

There was no distinction between day and night in the secret room, but the rhythm of Essence Blood circulating in his body told him that about two days had passed since he entered the secret room.

In two days, he went through the five moves of Heavy Mountain Saber Technique no less than a hundred times from beginning to end. The three moves of Savage Mountain Leg Technique became more and more smooth. He also practiced switching between Mountain-Shaking Steps and Five Phases Gang Steps to the point where there was no need to deliberately switch.

The spiritual power after Foundation Establishment has a warm and condensed texture when flowing through the meridians, which is completely different from the sluggishness of the Qi Refinement Realm.

No wonder people say that there is no time to cultivate immortality. If there are enough food and pills, Qin Tiexin feels that it will not be a problem for him to stay in this secret room until Secret Realm Trial opens it.

But today is the day I made an appointment with Lin Chuan Lin Wei to go to Star Capital Imperial Market. There is an auction in the evening, so I have to go.

He stood up and moved his body. The cracks on the floor of the secret room made by Edgeless had returned to their original state. Only the iron rod in the corner that he had straightened, bent and straightened was still standing against the wall, with a new bend mark on the stick.

Pushing open the Mysterious Iron door, the cold late-night wind poured in. The spiritual forest in the backyard glowed silver-gray under the moonlight, and there were only a few patrolling patrol figures on the stone pavement. The fluorite lanterns swayed gently around their waists. The nursing staff saw him coming out of the secret room and recognized him as a distinguished guest. They bowed from a distance and walked around.

Qin Tiexin walked back to the small courtyard through the stone path, and tore two cleaning talismans at the door. The light cyan light spread from the talismans, cleaning away the sweat and dust accumulated in the past two days.

He put on a clean dark gray monk's robe and hung up the Mysterious Iron rosary beads on his chest again. When he closed the courtyard door, he glanced at the window of the wing and saw that Ming'an was still sleeping, breathing long and steady.

Qin Tiexin simply did not enter the house, but sat down cross-legged on the futon in the patio, took out Five Phases Conversion Pearl and held it in the palm of his hand, closing his eyes and running Primordial Unity Instruction.

The platinum cyclone at the bottom of Dantian turned slightly, and Spiritual Qi began to slowly flow into the spiritual liquid pool along the meridians.

The sky was getting brighter. When it was about to end, the window of the wing was half opened. Ming'an poked his head out and rubbed his eyes. He saw Qin Tiexin sitting in the courtyard with a vague smile on his face, and then he went back and started washing.

Not long after, Ming'an sat cross-legged on the stone bench, twirling the crooked string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and began to chant sutras in the morning. The childish chanting sounds floated softly in the morning light.

At exactly 3 o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Lin Chuan's voice came through the door panel: "Senior Brother Ming, are you ready?"

Qin Tiexin accepted the effort and walked over to open the door. Lin Chuan and Lin Wei stood outside the door. Their dressing-up today was completely different from usual.

Lin Chuan changed into a silver-white brocade robe, with a dark gold cloud-patterned belt around his waist, and the Lin Household sword emblem embroidered on the cuffs. The long sword was hung on the side of the waist, and the scabbard was also replaced with a new one.

Lin Wei wore a crimson long skirt with a waist embroidered with large dark golden peonies. The two swords at her waist were put into two exquisite leather sheaths. The leather sheaths were inlaid with broken Spirit Crystal, which shimmered in the morning light.

The two stood side by side, one was calm and noble, the other was bright and flamboyant. At first glance, they were direct descendants of the Aristocratic Clan family.

Qin Tiexin looked down at his dusty old monk's robe, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He looked back at Ming'an who was chanting sutras, walked over and bent down and asked him, "Ming'an, senior brother is going out to buy something, do you want to bring anything back for you?"

Ming'an stopped chanting and tilted his head to think about it.

"Brother, if there is anyone who sells Buddhist scriptures, buy a few for me. And if there is a wooden fish, bring one for me too."

He took out a small cloth bag from his arms. After untying it, there were a few Spirit Crystal and two broken pieces of Spirit Stone, and he held it in front of Qin Tiexin.

Qin Tiexin didn't answer his Spirit Stone and patted his head.

"Keep it, senior brother will buy it for you. The butler will bring you food at noon, don't forget to eat again."

Ming'an nodded vigorously, added that senior brother would come back soon, and continued to immerse himself in chanting sutras. He knew that senior brother was going with brother and sister Lin Household today, so he wisely did not pester him to follow, and just twisted the beads faster.

The three of them exited the side door of Lin Residence and walked west along the main street of Purple Jade Ward.

Lin Chuan walked to the left of Qin Tiexin and introduced as he walked, "Star Capital Imperial Market is between Cloud Ford Ward and Star Refining Ward. It is usually only open to merchants holding official tokens. It is only open to all participating monks during Star Selection. In fact, it is not only Star Capital Imperial Market, Cloud Ford Ward, Star Refining Ward and many areas in the city that are not open to the public will be lifted from restrictions during this period, which can be regarded as a benefit for Star Selection. Many Rogue Cultivator have earned enough for a year's training expenses just by buying and selling in these days."

Lin Wei was walking in front, and when he heard this, he turned back and interjected. "Last time when Star Selection was big, there was Rogue Cultivator in Imperial Market spent ten yuan Spirit Stone to buy a piece of rotten wood. When he returned, he found that it was the pith core of a thousand-year-old soul-warming wood. He resold it for eight thousand yuan Spirit Stone. Let's go and see if we can pick up any treasures."

Go through about three or five streets and turn into a bluestone avenue that is wider than the main street of Cloud Ford Ward. At the end of the avenue stands a white jade arch door about five feet high, with four large characters carved on the lintel - Star Capital Imperial Market.

The words are inlaid with aura stones, which glow with a pale golden light under the sun. There are eight Spirit Rune Stone pillars standing on both sides of the arch. The patterns on the pillars are constantly flowing, forming a translucent aura barrier that separates Imperial Market from the outside world.

There was a long queue at the entrance, and several civil servants wearing Star Selection Bureau uniforms were verifying the identity jade tags one by one. Qin Tiexin noticed that the conditions for entering Imperial Market were looser than entering the city gate. As long as they were Star Selection participating monks, regardless of whether they had merchant qualifications or not, they would be allowed to enter.

The three of them checked their identity jade tags at the entrance and passed through the arch. The sight in front of them made Qin Tiexin pause slightly.
