After chatting with Lin Xiao for a while, Lin An returned to his courtyard.
As for Lin Xiao, he still needs to handle the aftermath of the Sin Beast siege, which will probably take him a day or two.
I'll have time to cultivate after everything is settled.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Buzz...
Inside the room, as Lin An's mind stirred, Spirit Mark immediately appeared around him.
These Spirit Mark are of different colors and each contains spiritual power of different attributes.
"All 243 Spirit Mark have been successfully condensed."
"I just don't know how powerful it is."
Lin An wanted to test the power of the Spirit Mark, but unfortunately he didn't have a good target, so he had to give up.
"Next, it's time to continue cultivating and improve your cultivation level."
Thinking about it, Lin An also walked out of the courtyard and found Lin Xiao.
The other party has already taken care of things in the city, so there's no need to worry about anything else.
Without further ado, the father and son went straight to the quiet room and began their cultivation.
Cultivation time always passes quickly.
Two weeks passed quickly.
"After reaching the Gold Realm, the speed of breakthroughs did indeed slow down," Lin An thought to himself.
Now, half a month has passed, and even with no shortage of resources, he has only broken through from the Gold Second Grade to the Gold Fourth Grade.
That sounds like a pretty fast cultivation speed.
But you should know that he has undergone three marrow cleansing and meridian tempering processes, and his cultivation technique has reached perfection, giving him a 32-fold increase in cultivation speed.
Moreover, as his cultivation level increases, the speed of his breakthroughs will slow down.
He estimated that if he cultivated step by step, it would take him three or four months to reach the Gold Ninth Grade.
If he hadn't known that the Sin Abyss World would connect with Blue Star, he would have been very satisfied with this cultivation speed.
But knowing about this matter always gave him a sense of urgency.
"Unfortunately Shenglin City is just a beginner's village, with not many opportunities."
In his previous life, he had read some news on game forums, where some players could greatly increase their cultivation level within a few days after encountering a fortuitous opportunity.
Under normal circumstances, once players reach the Silver Realm, they can leave the starting village and explore the outside world.
But he naturally couldn't do that. After all, while exploring outside might bring opportunities, nothing beats the comfort of staying in the City Lord's Residence.
Besides, players can be resurrected, so they're naturally not afraid, but they're unsure if they can be resurrected as well.
What if I die?
"Let's leave it at that for now. Once my cheapskate father breaks through to the Platinum Realm and eliminates the threat from Black Mountain, then we'll have them send me to the Upper City."
Anyway, Lin Xiao should be able to prepare for a breakthrough in about half a month, so he's not in a hurry.
Thinking it over, Lin An swallowed another pill and began cultivating.
Another two weeks have passed.
Buzz...
On this day, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Lin Xiao, startling Lin An, who was still cultivating.
Seeing Lin Xiao's condition, Lin An was delighted. The other party's circulation of the cultivation technique was much smoother than before, just like his own.
It was obvious that the opponent's Lin Clan Cultivation Technique had also reached the perfect level.
"Father, focus on your cultivation. Your son will protect you," Lin An said with a smile.
Lin Xiao had also opened his eyes, his gaze equally filled with joy.
He thought he would never have the chance to perfect his cultivation technique in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, after his son woke up, he accomplished it in just six months.
He could feel a strange power beginning to flow through his limbs and bones as his cultivation technique reached its peak.
He had felt this power before when he broke through to the Gold Realm; this was a process of cleansing his marrow and refining his meridians.
"Good."
Lin Xiao nodded, immediately clearing his mind of all distractions and focusing all his energy on cultivation.
This time, he not only wants to complete the marrow cleansing and meridian tempering, but more importantly, he wants to take this opportunity to break through to the Platinum Realm in one fell swoop.
Time passed quietly, and everything around seemed to quiet down, except for the increasingly powerful and eye-catching aura emanating from Lin Xiao.
At first, the aura was as faint as a trickle.
But as time went on, it gradually coalesced into a surging torrent, creating visible ripples in the air.
At the same time, Lin An also saw the impurities in his cheap father's body being expelled.
At the same time, the surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly into his body.
Three hours passed before Lin Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, then took out a pill and swallowed it.
Lin An's expression also turned serious; he knew that the other party was planning to break through to the Platinum Realm.
As time passed, the aura emanating from Lin Xiao grew increasingly powerful and sharp.
I don't know exactly how much time has passed.
Finally, Lin Xiao's already surging aura suddenly surged like a volcanic eruption, and the immense pressure swept outwards from him in all directions.
Inside the City Lord's Residence, everyone's expression changed.
Qian Hai and others also showed up.
"This is... the City Lord has broken through?" Ji Yuan asked in surprise and doubt.
"I don't know, but this pressure has already surpassed the Gold Realm. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, the City Lord has probably really broken through."
As Qian Hai spoke, his face was filled with joy.
As the old steward of the City Lord's Residence, he was very familiar with the Lin Family's situation.
Although the descendants of the Lin Family cultivate extremely quickly, they will encounter limitations once they reach the Gold Ninth Grade.
For hundreds of years, only the first ancestor of the Lin Family has reached the Platinum level.
Unexpectedly, the city lord has now broken through to the Platinum Realm, shattering the curse that has lasted for so many years.
"This matter is probably related to the young master," Qian Hai thought to himself.
After all, since the young master regained consciousness, the father and son had often cultivated together.
Although saying this is somewhat contrary to the Heavenly Gang, he guessed that the young master had given the city lord some pointers.
"Pass down the order: all guards are on alert. Anyone who tries to force their way into the City Lord's Residence, no matter who they are, will be killed without mercy!" Qian Hai said to Ji Yuan in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Ji Yuan left immediately, and soon three hundred guards drew their sword hilts and guarded the entire City Lord's Residence.
Meanwhile, Qian Hai, a powerful expert at the Gold Third Grade, was also stationed in the shadows, guarding against any potential dangers.
Meanwhile, in the quiet room, Lin An also withstood the oppressive aura emanating from Lin Xiao.
Fortunately, his own strength was not bad, and with the mastery of Saber Intent, it did not have much of an impact on him.
On the contrary, this was a good opportunity for him to learn more about the Platinum Realm experts.
The oppressive atmosphere didn't last long.
Fifteen minutes later.
A series of spiritual energy vortexes formed around Lin Xiao, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, surging into Lin Xiao's body, and constantly cleansing every corner of his body.
Another hour or so passed, Lin Xiao's body trembled as he successfully broke through to the Platinum Realm.
