The Advanced Chapter of the "Lamp Kindling Spirit Transformation Chapter"
Gazing at his increasingly solidified soul, Lin Xu couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
In just over half a month, he broke through to level 5. I wonder where that would be considered among cultivators in the Spirit Realm?
With a thought, his soul transformed into a gentle breeze, instantly passing through the roof and appearing above the quiet room.
It was already morning, and sunlight shone through the mist onto Peach Tree Village, where the rice paddies were a vibrant green.
The sunlight shone on my soul, bringing a burning sensation, like being in a sauna, my whole body enveloped in high-temperature steam.
In Lin Xu's soul vision, sunlight was like a terrifying high-energy weapon, instantly transforming into billions of rays that pierced his soul body, bringing a slight stinging pain, but which was then spontaneously repaired by his soul body in an instant.
Between the sting and the recovery, the soul slowly undergoes a kind of gradual change.
"True fire of sunlight, sea of fire of the great sun..." He carefully experienced the pain of the sun scorching his soul, refining the yin residue in his soul little by little.
This is the beginning of the soul's transformation into Yang, which runs through the entire process of Soul Refining and cultivation, until the Yang Spirit is condensed.
If his soul had appeared directly in the sunlight before his breakthrough, it would have been scorched by the flames, and if left unattended for too long, it would have risked turning to ashes.
But now, after the breakthrough, he only felt a burning sensation in his soul, but it was within a tolerable range.
With a thought, his soul transformed into a streak of light, traveling hundreds or even thousands of meters, and within a few breaths, he traversed a distance of 3 kilometers, arriving at the edge of the mist.
In the next instant, it transformed into a beam of light and flew around the edge of the mist, completing a full circle around the village in just a dozen breaths.
"Wow, that's fast! Now that's a true cultivator!"
Lin Xu laughed heartily, returning to the village in the blink of an eye. With a thought, he drew upon the sunlight, and a ball of flame suddenly appeared above the village.
Being exposed to intense sunlight felt like being immersed in lava; the burning pain almost blurred consciousness.
But he gritted his teeth and persevered, letting the scorching sun temper his soul, which gradually solidified in the sea of fire.
After a few breaths, Lin Xu abruptly withdrew his soul, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, but the light in his eyes shone even brighter.
"Hoo~" He exhaled a hot breath and circulated his magic power to repair his damaged soul. Upon internal inspection, he found that the edges of his soul had turned a faint blue color, like glass.
This is a sign that the Soul Refining has progressed further. When the soul body becomes as clear as glass, it means that the Soul Refining has been completed.

A level 5 Daoist is already a mid-level professional, and in reality, they would be a powerful figure not to be underestimated.
Even within a Spirit Realm like Xuanwei Monastery, such a person would be qualified to serve as a true disciple or lead a lineage, making them a high-ranking member of the temple.
"I should think of a way to advance to the position of a true disciple of the Daoist temple before the great battle!" Lin Xu's gaze fell on the "Identity" column, and he already had a plan in mind.
After breaking through to the Day Wandering Realm, the first thing he did was to immediately go to the Scripture Pavilion to obtain the advanced versions of "The Bright Lamp Spirit Kindling Art" and "The Mystic Art God-Descending Technique".
His "Lamp Kindling Spirit Transformation Chapter," derived from the mysteries of the two cultivation methods, is profound but limited to the basics. After breaking through the Day Wandering Realm, there is no further path to cultivation.
Holding Bright Light Lamp, Lin Xu walked out of the meditation room. "Rest assured and meditate peacefully, I'll be right back."
Before the two women could respond, he leaped forward, covering more than ten feet, and arrived in the courtyard.
With a pause, the patterns on his Cloud-Treading Shoes flickered, and rising clouds and mist slowly lifted Lin Xu's figure, making him stand in mid-air.
"Finally, I can fly..." Lin Xu felt the support of the clouds and mist, and his heart was filled with joy.
"Chirp~" Qiuqiu, who was patrolling in mid-air, flew over curiously and happily circled around him, seemingly happy that its owner could finally fly.
Flying on magical artifacts is the sublimation of the Daoist profession, and it also transcends the boundary between the mortal and the extraordinary—from then on, those miserable warriors could no longer even touch the hem of his robe.
With a thought, the clouds and mist surged, and Lin Xu's figure transformed into a streak of light, sweeping across Peach Tree Village and heading straight for the Daoist temple.
"This speed is almost the speed of sound..." He felt a surge of pride as he experienced the lightning-fast speed.
Flight represents a qualitative leap in strength, signifying a major improvement in mobility and survivability, as well as control over the rhythm of battle and absolute dominance over the entire battlefield.
In the real world, a mid-level professional who can't fly can contend with elite special forces, while a mid-level professional who can fly can take on an entire mechanized division single-handedly.
Their statuses were vastly different; the former could serve as the head of the Night Watchers's office in a county or district, while the latter was the director of a city bureau.
Upon arriving at the Sutra Repository, Lin Xu bowed respectfully to the elder guarding the pavilion.
The elder guarding the pavilion looked at Lin Xu with surprise. "Lin Xu, you've broken through to the Day Wandering Realm?"
"Indeed, it was a lucky breakthrough," Lin Xu replied respectfully.
The elder nodded slightly. "Now that you have broken through to the Day Wandering Realm, you should accumulate more merits and advance to the True Disciple Realm as soon as possible."
According to the rules of the Daoist temple, one needs 200,000 good deeds to be promoted to the rank of true disciple.
"This disciple thanks the elder for his guidance. I will diligently cultivate and accumulate good deeds." Lin Xu bowed and took his leave.
Upon breaking through the Day Wandering Realm, Daoist disciples can directly receive the advanced version of their cultivation techniques.
Lin Xu's situation was rather special. After receiving the advanced version of "The Bright Lamp Spirit Kindling Art", he also successfully received the advanced version of "The Mystic Art God-Descending Technique".
With the two cultivation techniques in hand, Lin Xu felt much more at ease.
This was the real purpose of his trip; everything else was secondary.
Since he was already there, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he wandered around the library and finally stopped in front of a book called "Mystic Yin Soul Refining Scripture".
This scripture is written entirely in ancient seal script, and the cover exudes a faint, chilling aura, clearly indicating that it relates to the path of soul cultivation.
Title: Mystic Yin Soul Refining Scripture
Grade: Blue (Fine)
Effect: Soul Refining Cultivation +10%, Nighttime Cultivation Efficiency +5%, Crescent Moon Cultivation Efficiency +15%

Introduction: Using the night as a backdrop and the soul-refining process as a guide, one absorbs the energy of the netherworld into the body, forging the soul to remain intact and gradually solidifying the divine consciousness; cultivation during the new moon brings twice the results with half the effort.
"Not bad~" He took the book and deducted 300 Dharma Coin.
