Bai Feng had already recognized Ye Tian's identity.
His heart was filled with murderous intent and boundless rage.
But just as he was about to swing his sword again, Ye Tian's aura suddenly surged.
He skipped five major realms from the Ninth Level of Qi Refining and directly reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Bai Feng was immediately alarmed and quickly used the Phantom Steps, leaving behind Daodao afterimages as he retreated rapidly.
However, Ye Tian did not attack Bai Feng. Instead, he stepped into the sky and disappeared.
" Ye Tian!" Bai Feng gritted his teeth as he looked up at the sky.
"You stole my opportunity; one day, I will kill you." With that, he quickly left the place.
Ye Tian did not leave the Mystic Heaven Sect, but instead found a cave in the back mountain and flew inside.
After landing, Ye Tian tapped the cave entrance several times, setting up a hidden Formation, and then his aura dissipated like a tide.
"Puff!"
Ye Tian coughed up another mouthful of blood, his face pale, and he swayed several times, almost falling over.
"Consume the Spiritual Marrow Liquid and begin cultivation!"
"Alright!" Ye Tian couldn't care less about anything else now. He quickly sat down cross-legged, took out a portion of Spiritual Marrow Liquid, and was about to put it in his mouth.
But then he paused and asked, " The Final Master, is this really the Spiritual Marrow Liquid?"
"It's true. I never expected that someone would be able to produce a hundred portions of Spiritual Marrow Liquid for this scheme. This feat is truly astonishing."
"Don't think too much now, recovering from your injuries is the most important thing. This Spiritual Marrow Liquid is a holy medicine for Healing. This time, your cultivation will advance even further, and you can break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in one fell swoop!"
Without further hesitation, Ye Tian swallowed the Spiritual Marrow Liquid and began cultivating.
After a night, Ye Tian finished his cultivation and opened his eyes with a look of surprise.
"Not bad, Foundation Establishment Stage First Level, and the realm is stable."
The semi-transparent figure of the jade pendant expert floated in front of Ye Tian, nodding in satisfaction.
"This time, I miscalculated. I didn't expect that Bai Feng had used the Spiritual Marrow Liquid before, making him much stronger than an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator."
Before Ye Tian could ask, the old man with the jade pendant explained.
"What? Where did Bai Feng get the Spiritual Marrow Liquid?" Ye Tian was somewhat surprised.
The doubts in his heart about the powerful person behind the jade pendant lessened a bit, but the seed of doubt had already been planted.
"That remains to be seen. Perhaps Ling Yi had planned this all along, which is why Bai Feng obtained the Spiritual Marrow Liquid, or perhaps Bai Feng had other opportunities of his own."
" The Final Master, my identity was exposed last night. We can't stay in the Mystic Heaven Sect anymore. We need to leave as soon as possible," Ye Tian said with a frown.
The old man with the jade pendant chuckled, "It's alright. Bai Feng wouldn't dare reveal this matter; he doesn't want to expose the existence of the Spiritual Marrow Liquid."
Ye Tian nodded, agreeing with his the Final Master's statement.
" The Final Master, what do you think of Ling Yi?"
The expert with the jade pendant frowned and said, "I can't see through it, and I can't understand it!"
"Judging from the sword spirit that could perform Space Teleportation yesterday, there must be a powerhouse at least at the Void Return Realm behind Ling Yi. Only those at the Void Return Realm can master spatial Divine Ability."
We must not harm them for the time being!
Ye Tian nodded. He wasn't stupid; he naturally saw his master's apprehension towards Ling Yi, or rather, his apprehension towards the powerful figure behind Ling Yi.
"Right now, the most important thing for you is to solidify your foundation. You have the Spirit Devouring Art that I taught you, which allows you to absorb Refinement the Spiritual Marrow Liquid with 100% efficiency."
"Even if Bai Feng possesses the Spiritual Marrow Liquid, its effectiveness is far less than yours. No matter how hard he tries, he will ultimately only be paving the way for your Spirit Devouring Art."
"Thank you for your guidance, the Final Master," Ye Tian said respectfully.
Time Reversal eight hours.
Looking at the returning Clone, Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction.
"I just wonder how the first battle between the Protagonist and the antagonist will end."
Just then, the system, which had been inactive for almost two months, suddenly sounded an electronic notification.
"Ding! You have bound yourself to the villain Bai Feng and received 100 portions of Spiritual Marrow Liquid. A 1000x Critical Hit has been triggered!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 100,000 doses of Spiritual Marrow Liquid, which has been automatically stored in your inventory."
Ling Yi: "..."
Is this a bug? Holy crap, this system can even have bugs? Ling Yi's eyes instantly brightened.
But, the next moment...
"Ding! System bug detected, currently being fixed!"
"Ding! Some data anomalies detected. The system is updating itself!"
"Ding! System bugs fixed, abnormal data repaired, system updated to version 2.0!"
Is this how the system is updated?
No, I can understand system Ling Yi, but what's with this data anomaly?
What's wrong with it?
Villain Binding System Version 2.0!
Host: Ling Yi!
Cultivation level: Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection!

Simulation template:
Template 1: A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality ( Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection ), First Pin Mixed Spiritual Root (Default, can be customized).
Template 2: Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection, First Pin Mixed Spiritual Root (Customizable)!
Template 3: Mahayana Stage Great Perfection, Divine Pin Mixed Spiritual Root (configurable)!
Breakthrough Aura: Default is hidden, but can be changed.
"Didn't they deduct the Spiritual Marrow Liquid?" Ling Yi raised an eyebrow, looking at the more than 100,000 doses of Spiritual Marrow Liquid in his backpack.
The original cultivation level was hidden, and it was replaced with a Simulation template.
This is interesting.
Previously, one could only conceal their cultivation level; now, even their Spiritual Root can be concealed—no, not concealed, but rather, it's a new setting.
Setting and hiding are completely different concepts.
Concealing only hides one's cultivation level and Spiritual Root, while setting it up allows one to freely set the cultivation level and Spiritual Root that are revealed.
For example, the Mahayana Stage cultivation level of Template 3 and the Divine Pin Mixed Spiritual Root are definitely good ways to bluff people.
Furthermore, is the Ninth Pin Spiritual Root Divine-Grade Spiritual Root?
Since his First Pin Mixed Spiritual Root had already been exposed, there was no point in hiding it anymore, so Ling Yi directly chose the default template 1.
At that moment, Ling Yi remembered something.
It seems that when Bai Feng, the "tool person," had his Spiritual Root upgraded last time, the system didn't give him any feedback.
Is this a data anomaly?
It can't be that simple, can it?
Well, you can't control things within the system, so further research will only cause more trouble.
This system update, however, seems a bit too frivolous.
Was it really just to fix bugs and data anomalies that they stubbornly insisted on updating this small amount of functionality?
The system notification sounded again early the next morning.
But this time the prompt was somewhat different from previous ones.
"Ding! The villain Bai Feng has been bound to the Spiritual Marrow Liquid, increasing the Spiritual Root grade and triggering a 1000x Critical Hit!"
"Choose reward 1: The host's Spiritual Root grade advances to First Pin Middle Stage!"
"Choose Reward 2: Advance any Spiritual Power by one level!"
Ling Yi's eyes lit up; so this was where the main content of the system update was.
Reward 1 is easy to understand, but what does Reward 2 mean?
What the heck is "Spiritual Power attribute"? Does it mean that Spiritual Power attributes can be upgraded?
The system didn't provide any explanation, bad review.
"Choose reward 2!" Ling Yi muttered to himself.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, your spatial Spiritual Power has advanced to the Spirit Grade."
So, what level was the spatial Spiritual Power originally at?
Ling Yi reopened the system interface. Everything else remained the same, but the information in the "Spiritual Root " section was more detailed.
Spiritual Root: First Pin Mixed Spiritual Root -- Metal ( Mortal Grade ), Wood ( Mortal Grade ), Water ( Mortal Grade ), Fire ( Mortal Grade ), Earth ( Mortal Grade ), Ice ( Mortal Grade ), Thunder ( Mortal Grade ), Wind ( Mortal Grade ), Light ( Mortal Grade ), Darkness ( Mortal Grade ), Time ( Mortal Grade ), Space ( Spirit Grade )!
Ling Yi could clearly feel that his Perception of the surrounding space had become more acute, and his connection with the surrounding space had become more complete.
As long as Ling Yi wants, he can merge into the surrounding space with a thought.
This feeling is quite wonderful.
In the square where morning classes were held, all the outer disciples were cultivating in the Lesser Spirit Gathering Array as usual.
Due to the varying degrees of Spiritual Qi concentration, the area near the center, where the Spiritual Qi is most concentrated, is still occupied by the same few people.
Fu Xiyao cultivated at the very edge.
However, Fu Xiyao was different today; she had a clear handprint on her face.
Although she appeared to be Meditation, she had not entered a meditative state, and tears were streaming down her face.
Just then, someone tapped her on the shoulder.
Fu Xiyao was startled and jumped up with a "Yay!"
This shout instantly startled everyone who was cultivating, and they all glared angrily in Fu Xiyao's direction.
However, when the crowd saw Ling Yi next to Fu Xiyao, they swallowed back the words they were about to say.
"Let's go. The elder has arranged a cave dwelling for me on Mystic Cloud Peak, equipped with a top -Second Pin -grade Spirit Gathering Array. I'll take you there to cultivate."
After finishing speaking, Ling Yi turned and left, saying as he went, "In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, only fools bully the weak, because you never know what kind of achievements the person you bully will have in the future."
"Only when you're Li Qiang can you get idiots to talk to you properly."
Fu Xiyao glanced at the crowd, pausing for a moment on the faces of several women, gritted her teeth, and followed Ling Yi.
He left behind a group of outer disciples looking at each other in bewilderment.
Some people seemed thoughtful, while others were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, their faces showing dissatisfaction.
But no one dared to say a word.
Ling Yi Ling Yi's performance on the stage yesterday is still fresh in my mind, and his extremely arrogant words still echo in my ears.
"In Ling Yi's eyes, you're either a friend or an enemy..."
"Today, we will determine who is superior and who is inferior, and we will decide life and death..."
Even though they looked down on Ling Yi, this trash with only Ninth Pin Mixed Spiritual Root, none of them wanted to become Ling Yi's enemy.
At least for now, these outer disciples don't dare.
Fu Xiyao is a very naive girl; to be honest, a girl like that isn't suited for cultivating immortality.
Ling Yi helped Fu Xiyao simply out of the ordinary, without any ulterior motives.
If I had to give a reason, perhaps it would be... Bored.
"Thanks!"
On the jade bridge, Fu Xiyao whispered to Ling Yi.
"No need to be so polite. I don't usually need that cave dwelling; it's just a waste to leave it there."
Fu Xiyao remained silent; she was never one for words.
The two crossed the jade bridge. After Ling Yi escorted her to his cave dwelling and gave her a few words of advice, he used his Moonwalk to head straight for the library.
