"However, different cultivation methods have different levels of attainment. Some methods first Body Refining and then Internal Breath, while others first Internal Breath and then Internal Energy Internal Energy, and finally Body Strengthening."
"Some extraordinary cultivation techniques even allow one to first Gang Condensation energy and then cultivate Internal Breath in reverse."
"What determines Martial Practitioner's strength, besides their techniques and weapons, is their will and their momentum."
At this point, the leader of the men in black looked at Qin Yue.
"Take Qin Yue, for example. She has already grasped the rudimentary form of Sword Intent. If she were to grasp even a tenth of Sword Intent, then even without Internal Energy, I'm afraid none of us would survive today."
"Intent, momentum!"
"There's no cultivation experience required for this, because everyone's understanding of the intent and the power is different."
"It all depends on one's own enlightenment and, of course, opportunity."
"As for what intention and momentum are, I'm sorry, I don't know either."
"However, five years ago, I was fortunate enough to witness a powerful expert who had grasped the essence of 'momentum' make a move."
With a wave of his hand, the Earth Split, comparable to immortals and demons, no longer resembling a mortal.
Ling Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Since the leader of the men in black had not grasped the concepts of intent and power, he naturally couldn't explain it clearly, so Ling Yi didn't press him further on the matter.
Ling Yi then looked at the group of people.
He muttered to himself, "What should I do with you all?"
Immediately, the twenty-nine men in black and Qin Yue and her companion tensed up.
"Master, from this day forward, we will follow your lead." The leader of the men in black was the first to kneel.
He knelt down decisively and cleanly.
The leader knelt down, and all the other men in black followed suit.
"Follow their lead."
Ling Yi stroked his chin as he looked at them.
These people have absolutely no moral compass!
Although the Divine Seal has an influence, as long as Ling Yi doesn't actively control it, these people's consciousness won't be affected too much.
Otherwise, those under the Divine Seal are all puppets.
Qin Yue and Qin Yuan were dumbfounded at this moment.
What will happen to them?
To kneel or not?
The two are the number one female sword immortal of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the other is the eldest princess of the Great Qian Dynasty.
They were all of extremely high status.
They're used to being high and mighty, so asking them to kneel, especially to a child, is something they really can't bring themselves to do.
But if they don't kneel, with this child's abilities, he could kill them in the blink of an eye.
Actually, the arrangement Ling Yi mentioned wasn't about killing them.
Rather, they are genuinely considering how to arrange things.
It's definitely not good for so many people to stay in the village.
Ling Yi plans to transform Little Ye Village into a paradise, a haven in a chaotic world.
A future where I can provide shelter for my sister and myself from the storms of life.
Ling Yi did not want the peace of Little Ye Village to be disturbed.
But war was imminent, and chaos was about to begin.
Little Ye Village will likely also be affected.
Therefore, Ling Yi must find a way to keep all danger and chaos outside Little Ye Village.
Upon seeing these men in black, Ling Yi already had an idea.
"What's your name?" Ling Yi ignored Qin Yue and the other woman, who were still struggling with their questions.
Instead, he asked the leader of the men in black.
"Master, this is Zhao San."
"From now on, you will be called Number One," Ling Yi said.
"Yes!" Zhao San's lips twitched slightly beneath his mask.
He actually changed his own name first?
I wonder how this little master will arrange his life next.
But it seems he's survived.
"I need you to disguise yourselves as robbers and protect Little Ye Village from all external dangers and troubles."
Do you understand what I mean?
"Please rest assured, Master Zhao San —no, Number One— will definitely keep all troubles outside Little Ye Village."
"Yes, I understand. I like smart people." Ling Yi nodded.
"What level of strength do you have now?" Ling Yi asked again.
" The Acquired Great Perfection, just one step away from the Innate."
Where are your men?
"Master, they are not my subordinates. They were just a temporary team assembled on a mission from the Poison Baleful Energy Sect. Because my level is higher than theirs, I am only their temporary leader."
"From now on, they are your subordinates."
Thank you, Master.
"According to you, North Leaf Province is about to descend into chaos, and the Northern Frontier King will surely conquer North Leaf Province first when he marches south, is that right?"
"That's true."
"What kind of strength would make everyone wary, or rather, what kind of cultivation level would Intimidation everyone and prevent them from easily setting foot in Little Ye Village?"
Number One didn't understand why Ling Yi asked that question.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Master, in the Great Qian Empire, as long as you have the cultivation level of Master, no one will dare to provoke you."
" Master?"
Ling Yi stroked his chin, looking at Number One.
At the same time, communicate with the system in your mind.
"System, could you please display this person's skill list?"
[No problem, host.]
The next moment, a panel appeared above Number One's head.
{Realm: Peak Acquired ( Perfection Internal Breath ), Skills: Blood Poison Art ( Proficiency ), Blood Poison Palm ( Minor Accomplishment ), Drifting Leaf Sword ( Proficiency ), Drifting Leaf Movement Technique ( Minor Accomplishment ), Hidden Weapons ( Great Accomplishment )!}
"How many Upgrade Points would be needed to directly advance one's cultivation level to Master?"
[A total of 61 Upgrade Points are needed, host!]
So many?
Ling Yi only has 54 Upgrade Points, which is far from enough.
Upgrading the barrel and the water in it previously cost 4 points.
"If we upgrade the Blood Poison Art, could it allow him to break through to the Master Realm?" Ling Yi asked again.
[Consuming 13 Upgrade Points can advance the Blood Poison Art into the Blood Poison Scripture, allowing the opponent to cultivate to the Master Great Perfection without any bottlenecks.]
Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction. "Very good."
At this moment, Number One felt a little uneasy under Ling Yi's gaze, wondering why his young master was staring at him like that.
"Your cultivation is too weak," Ling Yi said, seemingly dissatisfied.
"Yes, it's my fault." What could Number One say?
Is his weak cultivation level his fault?
But no matter what, admitting your mistake first is always the right thing to do.
"I will now teach you a martial art."
As Ling Yi spoke, he pointed with his finger and silently chanted in his mind, "System, add points."
[Ding, the host has consumed 1 Upgrade Points, and the target's Blood Poison Art has been upgraded from Proficiency to Minor Accomplishment Completion.]
[Ding, the host has consumed 1 Upgrade Points, and the target Blood Poison Art has been upgraded from Minor Accomplishment to Great Accomplishment.]
[Ding, the host has consumed 1 Upgrade Points, and the target's Blood Poison Art has been upgraded from Great Accomplishment Completion to Perfection.]
[Ding! Host has consumed 10 Upgrade Points. The target Blood Poison Art has changed from advanced to Blood Poison Scripture at the Entry!]
A series of system notifications rang in Ling Yi's mind.
On the other hand, Number One was first taken aback, and then a large number of cultivation techniques appeared in his mind.
Number One almost instinctively Meditation cross-legged on the spot.
The next moment, this guy's face turned green.
Not just his face, his skin turned green.
His Internal Breath surged, and Yinyin green mist seemed to emanate from his body.
Ling Yi instinctively sensed that this green mist seemed rather unfriendly.
He quickly retreated, Human Dao, "Everyone, spread out at least a hundred meters away."
Immediately, everyone scattered and ran far away.
Everyone stared curiously at Number One, whose entire body was beginning to emit green smoke.
"Such domineering poison skills! If this person were to break through to the Innate, even Master would have to avoid his sharp edge."
Qin Yue stared intently at Number One, her beautiful face filled with apprehension.
Just then, the mist surrounding Number One suddenly dissipated.
The poisonous mist that was originally dissipating outwards actually formed a green cesium-colored circular eggshell around Number One's body.
Then the eggshell seemed to melt and merge into Number One's body.
Meanwhile, Number One's skin color gradually returned to normal from green.
Number One, from the Acquired Perfection, takes a step into the Innate.
