Three minutes passed quickly.
[Your Spirit-Devouring Ring has successfully refined the Purple Origin Fire; its effects have been enhanced.]
When Lin An heard the sound, he also saw that the Spirit-Devouring Ring on his finger had changed. The originally pitch-black Spirit-Devouring Ring now had purple fire patterns on it.
Of course, the most crucial improvement is in the effect of the Spirit-Devouring Ring.
Originally, there were only one hundred altars inside, which could only hold one hundred corpses of Sin Beast. Now, the number of altars has increased to one thousand, and the speed of refining the corpses of Sin Beast has also increased by about three times compared to before.
"Previously, it took ten days to refine a Diamond Tier Sin Beast, but now it only takes about three days."
Lin An nodded in satisfaction; his 300,000 attribute points hadn't been wasted.
The increased speed at which the Spirit-Devouring Ring could refine the corpses of Sin Beast also meant an increase in his cultivation speed.
"Since we still have some time, we can go outside and do a sweep, collecting the remaining nine hundred corpses of the Sin Beast."
Thinking it over, Lin An immediately went out the door, went directly to the mission hall to accept the mission, and headed towards the outside of Heavenly Vault Pass.
"Brother Lin, what are you going to do?"
On the way, they happened to run into Shi Shan and his group, who all looked on with curiosity as Lin An approached.
"Just accepted a hunting mission, planning to take a trip outside the Great Wall."
Lin An smiled and said, "I won't say any more to you, I'm leaving now."
Watching Lin An's departing figure, Shi Shan and the others were completely dumbfounded.
No, the competition is over, why are you hunting Sin Beast at this time?
"Brother Lin is better than us, and he's even more hardworking than us."
Shi Shan couldn't help but sigh.
The others couldn't help but nod in agreement; such prodigious talent combined with hard work—no wonder they were better than them.
"How about we go and take on a mission too?" one of them suggested after a moment's hesitation.
Shi Shan and the others looked at each other as if they were idiots.
They simply sighed, realizing that the competition was finally over and they naturally needed to rest and recharge, since they were going to the Spirit Cleansing Pool the next day.
After leaving Heavenly Vault Pass, Lin An arrived at the nearest mountain range where Sin Beast gathered.
His purpose this time was simply to replenish the Sin Beast in the Spirit-Devouring Ring; he had no intention of annihilating all the Sin Beast in the entire mountain range.
So they directly found those Diamond Tier Sin Beast, killed them all, and then had thirty-six puppets hunt down more than eight hundred Platinum Eighth Grade Sin Beast, throwing them all into the Spirit-Devouring Ring.
After finishing these tasks, Lin An returned directly to Heavenly Vault Pass, tallied his military merits, and then went back to his residence.
The next morning.
Lin An, Xie Cheng, Shi Shan, and four others returned to the square, where a man was already waiting.
Come with me.
After speaking, the man waved his hand and led everyone into the void.
After more than ten breaths, when everyone opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a valley.
"This is the Spirit Cleansing Pool. You can choose your own spots later; there's no difference in elevation among these pools."
"The main purpose of the Spirit Cleansing Pool is to help you undergo a process of marrow cleansing and meridian tempering. If your previous accumulation is sufficient, it can also help you directly break through your cultivation realm."
"You may stay in the Spirit Cleansing Pool for three days. I will come to take you away after three days."
The man looked at the crowd and asked, "Any further questions?"
Everyone shook their heads; they had some understanding of the Spirit Cleansing Pool before they came.
The man nodded and then left the valley.
The ten people looked at each other, and finally their eyes all turned to Lin An.
Although the man had said that there was no distinction between high and low in the Spirit Cleansing Pool, he would definitely choose Lin An, the champion, first.
I'll choose this one.
As Lin An casually entered a Spirit Cleansing Pool, an array around the Spirit Cleansing Pool was activated, and a light shield enveloped the Spirit Cleansing Pool.
This way, you don't have to worry about being influenced by others.
Seeing that Lin An had made his choice, the others also began to select in order of their rankings, and ten light shields rose up.
After entering the Spirit Cleansing Pool, Lin An did not waste any time, but instead began to cultivate using his technique.
Soon he felt a strange power surging into his body from the Spirit Cleansing Pool, coursing through his limbs and bones.
Lin An was no stranger to this feeling; he had experienced it three times before, and this was his fourth time undergoing the "Marrow Cleansing" procedure.
As time passed, he also felt his meridians become stronger and wider under this power, and the spiritual energy his body could hold was also enhanced.
However, compared to the previous bone marrow cleansing, the improvement this time is not significant.
Perhaps because he had undergone three rounds of marrow cleansing, this round only lasted two hours.
At the same time, his aura surged, and his cultivation level broke through to the Diamond Realm without any hindrance.
[Congratulations on becoming the first player in the entire server to break through to the Diamond Realm! You have received an additional reward: Divine Ability Upgrade Stone.]
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to Lin An for becoming the first player in the entire server to break through to the Diamond Realm! Other players are encouraged to follow this example and strive for even greater achievements.] x3
The system's voice rang out, but Lin An had no time to pay attention to it.
This time, he wasn't just aiming to break through to the Diamond Realm; he wanted to use the Spirit Cleansing Pool and the spiritual power within the Spirit-Devouring Ring to significantly enhance his cultivation level.
Thinking this, Lin An continued cultivating, while the Spirit-Devouring Ring flashed with spiritual light, and the spiritual power within it rapidly surged into his body.
This spiritual energy was extremely pure, and he refined it almost effortlessly.
If it weren't for the fear of absorbing too much too quickly and weakening his foundation, he could have broken through to the Diamond Second Grade in an instant.
Three hours passed quickly.
boom...
Lin An's aura surged once again, and his cultivation level reached Diamond Second Grade.
Meanwhile, the other nine people were still undergoing marrow cleansing and meridian purification.
"Continue."
Lin An had no intention of stopping and continued absorbing the spiritual energy from the Spirit-Devouring Ring.
Five hours later, Lin An reached the Diamond Third Grade.
Time passed slowly, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.
Just as the man came to pick them up, Lin An also finished refining all the spiritual power accumulated in his Spirit-Devouring Ring.
Lin An slowly opened his eyes and simultaneously opened the panel to take a look.
