Qi Refining Cultivation Method
Shortly after Jiao Xiaotian left, another large group of people arrived at the port, ready to board the ship.
Leading the group was the Xi Zhenyue, followed by dozens of the Blood Replacement Realm experts from the Xi Family and other families of the Great Xia Dynasty who had been "persuaded"!
These Blood Replacement Realm experts, who usually lorded it over their own territories, were all awestruck by the magnificent sight of the colossal, sky-covering ship before them, and exclaimed in awe.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder it's a divine vessel capable of traversing Endless Sea! Truly magnificent!"
"Yes! To be able to travel to the Central Continent on such a magnificent ship, I have no regrets in this life!"
One of the elders of the Xi Family, his face beaming, bowed to Xi Zhenyue and said, "Zhenyue, if it weren't for your mediation, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to embark on this Heaven Reaching path to the Central Continent!"
Xi Zhenyue smiled modestly and waved his hand, "Not at all, it's all thanks to Gao Long Long's patronage! If it weren't for Young Master Gao's recommendation, how could we have had this opportunity?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned to Gao Long, cupped their hands in greeting, and spoke with words full of respect and gratitude.
"Young Master Gao is truly talented! We admire him!"
"When we arrive in the Central Continent, I hope Young Master Gao will take good care of me!"
Gao Long responded to each question with a gentle smile, appearing approachable.
Everyone was filled with admiration. "Truly a prodigy who has returned from the Martial Arts Holy Land! Not only is he incredibly strong, but he is also so humble!"
Little did they know, they had already become lambs to the slaughter.
"Esteemed seniors," Gao Long announced in a clear voice, "It's getting late, we should board the ship! The vast world of the Central Continent awaits our exploration!"
"Alright!" The crowd responded enthusiastically, and with high spirits, they followed Gao Long and Xi Zhenyue aboard the "Wave-Breaking Divine Vessel."
The flow of people boarding the ship was endless. Looking around, there were many experts at the Blood Replacement Realm, and even some with profound auras who were about to break through to the Qi Refining Realm!
This caused many originally arrogant martial artists to tone down their arrogance.
"Those qualified to board this ship are indeed extraordinary!" they thought to themselves. "It seems we'll have to be even more cautious once we reach the Central Continent."
Meanwhile, in a room on the lower level of the ship's cabin.
Dongfang Yueming was carefully examining the strange red silk in his hand. It felt warm to the touch, and countless fine lines seemed to flow slowly on it. Upon closer inspection, one could even see some blurry, ancient characters that flickered like flames.
Just as he was intently observing, the red silk suddenly burst into flames without warning! The flames were crimson, but they did not feel hot at all; instead, they emitted a warm and mysterious aura!
In the blink of an eye, the silk turned to ashes and vanished without a trace.
However, a vast and refined torrent of information, like a sudden awakening, flooded into Dongfang Yueming's mind! It was a complete and exquisite Qi Refining Realm technique!
Dongfang Yueming was shocked and quickly checked the panel!

"Crimson Swirl Qi Refining Method!" Looking at the name of the technique and sensing the profound method in his mind, Dongfang Yueming was overjoyed! "It really is Qi Refining technique! And... it feels to be of extremely high quality!"
He calmed his excited emotions, looked in the direction of the Jiao Clan, and silently said, "Thank you, Jiao Clan!" Regardless of their motives, he remembered this kindness.
Just then, a deep and majestic voice, like a resounding bell, clearly echoed throughout the entire "Wave-Breaking Divine Vessel"!
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
The previously noisy crowd on the deck fell silent instantly, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, their faces filled with surprise and doubt.
A middle-aged man dressed in a simple gray robe and with an ordinary face had quietly appeared at the highest point of the bow of the ship. Although he was just standing there casually, he gave people a feeling of profound and unfathomable depth, as if he had become one with the entire giant ship!
"My name is Li Po," the middle-aged man said slowly, his gaze sweeping calmly over the crowd. "I am the person in charge of this ' Wave-Breaking Divine Vessel ' voyage. I will be in charge of the rest of the journey."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines! The person capable of piloting such a colossal ship that traversed the Endless Sea must possess unfathomable strength!
Li Po continued, "This voyage is expected to take about a month. During this time, the ship will be divided into zones according to everyone's cultivation level, and private duels are strictly prohibited! Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without exception!" Although his voice was calm, it carried an undeniable, Blood Intent! "Furthermore, we may encounter attacks from groups of sea beasts along the way. At that time, we will need everyone to work together to defend against these enemies!"
"Yes! We understand!" Everyone bowed and replied, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Li Po nodded, said no more, and vanished from everyone's sight in a flash, as if he had never been there at all.
Only after the invisible pressure dissipated did some noise return to the deck.
"Hiss... That Lord Li Po just now, what a powerful aura! He must be at least Grandmaster Realm expert, right?!" An elder of the Xi Family exclaimed with lingering fear, his eyes filled with awe.
"Yes! I never expected to witness the grandeur of Grandmaster on this trip! It's truly an honor!" The other Xi Family echoed, extremely excited. For martial artists from these remote dynasties, let alone Grandmaster, even Internal Force Realm expert was a rare sight!
However, Gao Long, standing in the crowd, felt a flicker of disdain. "Grandmaster? Heh, merely the pinnacle of this remote place. What does Grandmaster Realm even mean in the Central Continent? They don't even have real power! My Heaven-Surging Alliance's leader is a peerless powerhouse who has long transcended the mortal realm and forged an unparalleled Innate Physique!"
Just as everyone was lost in thought, the giant ship beneath their feet let out a long, resounding blast of its horn! The massive hull slowly began to move, cleaving through the vast blue waves, and officially set sail into the endless depths of the ocean!
The ship cut through the waves, its speed increasing until it quickly left the port behind. The crowds seeing them off on the shore gradually became blurry black dots, and their exclamations and blessings were slowly swallowed by the sea breeze.
On the shore, Jiao Yu'er still stood there, silently watching the direction in which the giant ship had disappeared, her pearly teeth lightly biting her lower lip, her eyes filled with complex and unfathomable emotions.
Inside a room on the lower level of the ship's cabin.
Dongfang Yueming didn't join the commotion. He vaguely remembered that the group of people who had boarded the ship earlier wore clothing styles quite similar to those of the Great Xia Dynasty. "Could it be... people from the Gao Family?" A thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't delve into it further.
"The most urgent task is to break through to the Qi Refining Realm as soon as possible!" He composed himself and focused his attention on the panel again!
"Crimson Swirl Qi Refining Method, Point Allocation!"
[Crimson Swirl Qi Refining Method (0/600, Entry)]!
Boom!
It was as if a long-sealed door had suddenly opened within him! He clearly sensed the omnipresent spiritual energy that permeated the world! Immediately afterward, a mysterious suction force arose from within his body, guiding wisps of spiritual energy along specific meridian pathways, slowly flowing into his dantian!
From sensing spiritual energy to guiding it into the body, this is the mark of Entry the Qi Refining Realm!
The realm displayed on the panel also underwent a dramatic change!
[Realm: Qi Refining Realm (Entry) (Earn 200 points daily)]!
Qi Refining Realm! He has finally broken through the shackles of Body Tempering and stepped into the second major stage of cultivation! The points he gains each day have also doubled again!
