Hearing Qi Ling's assurance, the Grandmaster became even more curious. He had studied cultivation methods for many years, but he had no idea that such a method existed, one that could increase a person's cultivation by so much in such a short time.
Actually, it's not the Grandmaster's fault, because the method Qi Ling is going to use is indeed not something that ordinary people can use, much less afford!
Previously, when completing system tasks, Qi Ling had obtained many " Starry Sky Barrier " entry tickets. These tickets allowed people to enter a special training ground for cultivation.
This cultivation space, known as the " Starry Sky Barrier," was originally designed to grant cultivators ten times the cultivation speed, while simultaneously reducing the passage of time to one-tenth.
However, after that, the Starry Sky Barrier underwent a completely new evolution in Qi Ling's hands. The new version of the Starry Sky Barrier is even more powerful. The speed at which time passes inside will be one-hundredth of that outside! At the same time, the concentration of spiritual energy will reach more than ten times.
However, such powerful functions also bring greater restrictions to the Starry Sky Barrier. First of all, each person can only enter the Starry Sky Barrier once in their lifetime! Subsequent entry will have no effect.
Moreover, once a person enters the Starry Sky Barrier, the pressure inside will increase more and more! Until you can't hold on any longer, you can choose to give up and then come out.
However, in other words, as long as you can withstand the pressure inside, you can continue cultivating inside indefinitely! The cultivation speed inside is equivalent to three years of normal cultivation in one day! That's why Qi Ling is so confident that he can help them successfully break through to the Soul Saint stage.
Such a precious opportunity should naturally be used at the most appropriate stage. If one's cultivation level is too low, it cannot be sustained for long, and if one's cultivation level is too high, it will not have much effect. The Soul Emperor level is the most appropriate stage.
Another reason is that although Qi Ling has a lot of admission tickets, they are still limited. She can't let everyone enter the cultivation, so she can only select the most promising people to enter. This is also why Qi Ling needs to confirm the quota in advance.
"I will tell you the specific training methods in a week. What we need to do now is just to determine the participants," Qi Ling said. "Remember, everyone, this training is only open to those at the Soul Emperor level or above! Soul Emperor, Soul Emperor!"
As Qi Ling spoke, her gaze fell upon Ma Hongjun beside her, for among those present, he seemed to be the only one who was not Soul Emperor.
Seeing the look in Qi Ling's eyes, Ma Hongjun said awkwardly, " Boss Qi, don't look at me like that. My strength is almost there; I've reached level 59. I'm just a little short of becoming Soul Emperor!"
"A small mistake can have a huge impact, Ma Hongjun. Just this little bit can drastically reduce the effectiveness of your cultivation," Qi Ling said. "I'm giving you a task: reach level 60 within seven days and obtain your Sixth Soul Ring. Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook!"
"Alright, that's all for now, everyone. Please quickly compile a list of qualified candidates for training," Qi Ling said. "Meeting adjourned!"
After the morning meeting, Qi Ling returned to his room. He also needed to make a plan regarding the selection of participants for the special training.
Before two minutes had passed, there was a knock on Qi Ling's door, and then Bai He, the patriarch of the Speed Clan, and Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan, walked in together.
"Elders, is there anything I can help you with?" Qi Ling asked.
"This..." Bai He glanced at Yang Wudi beside him, embarrassed. Yang Wudi, who was usually expressionless, also showed an embarrassed expression at this moment.
Seeing that the two old men looked like they were there to borrow money, Qi Ling roughly guessed the reason. They also wanted their granddaughters to participate in the special training that Qi Ling had mentioned, but their cultivation level clearly did not meet Qi Ling's requirements.
"Elders, you've come here, surely it's about your granddaughter?" Qi Ling asked directly.
Bai He blushed and said, " Qi Ling, you guessed it. We did come here for Xiangxiang and Tiexin. Do you think they could participate in the special training you mentioned?"
Qi Ling sighed helplessly and said, "Elder Bai He, I remember that Bai Chenxiang's current strength should be at the Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, right?"
"It's not that I don't want her to participate, but this special training can only be participated in once in a lifetime. If she participates this time, it will be a considerable waste. So I can't let her participate now. When her strength reaches the Soul Emperor, she can naturally participate again."
Bai He could only sigh helplessly after hearing Qi Ling's words. After all, Bai Chenxiang's Soul Power Level was indeed far too low, and it was impossible to force it. Otherwise, it would backfire and damage the child's self-confidence, which would be a loss.
"As for Yang Tiexin..." Qi Ling considered, "Elder Yang Wudi, I remember Tiexin's Soul Power Level should be level 56..."
"It's level 57," Yang Wudi said with a hint of pride. "In the past few days, Tiexin's Soul Power Level has broken through again."
"Hmm, indeed a remarkable talent," Qi Ling exclaimed. "Regarding Tiexin's situation, perhaps I could give it a try, as it's similar to Ma Hongjun's."
"Elder Yang, please have Tiexin come to see me when she has some free time. I need to get her opinion on her situation."
After receiving Qi Ling's reply, the two left together. Not long after, before Qi Ling could calm down, there was another knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Qi Ling asked curiously as she opened the door, only to find that the person standing outside was none other than Ma Hongjun, whom she had just mentioned.
"Hey, Boss Qi, I didn't come to see you for anything else, it's just..." Ma Hongjun said embarrassedly, "I feel that increasing one level of Soul Power in seven days is too difficult! I might not be able to meet your requirements, so maybe I shouldn't participate in this training."
Qi Ling looked at Ma Hongjun and couldn't help but sigh helplessly. This guy's problem wasn't anything else, it was just laziness. Otherwise, his cultivation level wouldn't be like this.
The reason he's so lazy is because he has nothing on his mind and no reason to become stronger. If he had someone he'd fight for, things would probably be very different.
"Fatty, let me ask you something," Qi Ling said slowly. "These past two days I've seen you pursuing Bai Chenxiang. How serious are you? How much do you like her?"
" Boss Qi, I really like her. This feeling is truly different!" Ma Hongjun said. "It's like as long as I see her, no other woman matters. This is the first time I've ever felt this way."
"Oh? That's great." Qi Ling laughed. "If I told you that you'd definitely be able to win her over and make her your wife, would you be happy?"
"Really? Hehe, Boss Qi, if that's really the case, then I'll truly have no regrets in this life!" Ma Hongjun said with a smile.
"What if I told you that after she becomes your wife, your current laziness will cause you to be separated forever?" Qi Ling said seriously.
