Chapter 57

Gift of Soul Veil, Core Formation Level 7!

Qin Yi arrived at the main hall of Tianxuan Peak.

Mu Wan is not here.

So he went to Mu Wan's residence.

The moment Qin Yi saw Mu Wan, he noticed that her face was pale and her brows were slightly furrowed.

But Mu Wan quickly hid her uncomfortable expression, and her complexion returned to its normal rosy state.

Beside Mu Wan, on the table, was a blue spiritual herb, which Mu Wan had clearly just eaten most of.

"Palace Master."

Qin Yi bowed to Mu Wan, then stared at the blue spiritual herb that had been mostly eaten, and asked, "What kind of spiritual herb is this?"

Mu Wan casually picked up the remaining spiritual herbs, put them into her storage ring, smiled faintly, and said, "They're just ordinary spiritual herbs for nourishing qi and blood."

Qin Yi guessed that this spiritual herb was most likely the Heartbreak Grass that Liu Yan, the master of Yaoguang Palace, had mentioned to him.

A highly poisonous substance.

Those who are poisoned will suffer excruciating pain, like their liver and intestines are being torn apart.

Qin Yi did not expose him.

Since Mu Wan doesn't want him to know, then let's pretend we don't know for now.

Everything... will be discussed after the arrangements are made by Liu Yan, the Palace Master of Yaoguang Palace.

Mu Wan immediately changed the subject, her face showing relief, and said, "Palace Master Liu has already told me about your mission this time."

"No matter what happened during the process, the important thing is that you completed your mission and returned safely, and that's enough!"

"Now that you are a five-star disciple, you can participate in the Heavenly Star Competition, but... you don't need to take my little matter too seriously. Just enjoy the process of fighting."

"Also, I've prepared a gift for you these past few days."

As she spoke, Mu Wan took out a piece of gauze as thin as a cicada's wing from her storage ring.

She waved her hand.

The light veil fluttered down in front of Qin Yi.

Qin Yi looked at the piece of light gauze, a look of curiosity on his face.

"This piece of light gauze, seemingly real yet illusory, what is its purpose?" Qin Yi asked.

Mu Wan smiled and said, "This is the Soul Veil."

"It can protect the soul."

"Martial artists who have not reached the Nirvana Realm have very fragile souls."

"If someone skilled in soul attacks ambushes you, it will be impossible to defend against."

"Once you refine this Soul Veil, it will protect your soul."

"In addition, you also have the jade pendant I gave you before, which can withstand physical attacks from Nirvana Realm warriors. As a result, your safety has been greatly improved."

"Use a wisp of spiritual power to absorb this soul veil into your sea of ​​consciousness."

Qin Yi was deeply moved after hearing Mu Wan's words.

Even with her own situation like this, Mu Wan still thought so much about him.

He knew that this piece of soul silk must be very valuable.

Qin Yi did not refuse Mu Wan's offer. He nodded and, as Mu Wan instructed, channeled a wisp of spiritual power into the Soul Veil.

The next moment, the Soul Veil entered his sea of ​​consciousness from between his eyebrows and then covered the surface of his soul.

Qin Yi took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Palace Master!"

Mu Wan smiled and said, "Alright, you must be exhausted after just finishing your mission. Go back and rest. I still have some things to take care of."

Qin Yi hummed in agreement, bowed, and took his leave.

After he left.

Mu Wan's body trembled, her face turned pale again, she braced herself against the table next to her, and then took out the remaining bit of Heartbreak Grass from her storage ring and stuffed it into her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed and appeared in front of Mu Wan. It was Liu Yan, the Palace Master of Yao Guang Palace.

She helped Mu Wan up, feeling extremely distressed, and said, "Sister Wan'er, why don't we let Qin Yi..."

Mu Wan shook her head and said, "This matter must not be mentioned again!"

Liu Yan sighed and then said, "Sister Wan'er, let me help you alleviate some of the pain from the backlash."

…………

Qin Yi returned to his residence.

"Brother Qin." Yun Meng'er came to his room as soon as she saw him return.

Seeing Qin Yi sitting in the chair, lost in thought, she stood beside him and held his head in her warm embrace.

"What happened?" Yun Meng'er asked.

Qin Yi snapped out of his daze, grabbed Yun Meng'er's hand, and gently pulled her down to sit.

"It's nothing," Qin Yi said softly.

The next day.

With Yun Meng'er's comforting words, Qin Yi's emotions calmed down considerably.

After getting up, he went to register for the Tianxing Grand Competition, accompanied by Yun Meng'er.

The Celestial Star Competition begins with the selection process at the Seven Peaks.

Ten members of Tian Shu Peak, who won first place in the previous competition for ordinary disciples, will participate in the final competition.

The other six peaks each selected five people to participate in the final competition.

Therefore, in the end, only forty people were able to compete under the watchful eyes of the entire Tianxing Martial Academy's higher-ups.

If you win first place, you will be rewarded with 100,000 Star Points and directly promoted to a core disciple.

To register for the competition, it's not just a matter of being a minimum five-star disciple; you also need to have been a regular disciple of Tianxing Martial Academy for no more than three years.

Accompanied by Yun Meng'er, Qin Yi arrived at the registration area of ​​Tianxuan Peak. After registering, he prepared to leave.

"Oh, Junior Brother Qin has created a miracle. He's only been with Tianxing Martial Academy for about two months, and he's already become a five-star disciple, standing on the threshold of registering for the Tianxing Grand Competition." A sarcastic voice rang out.

Han Wei, the grandson of Han Donglin, the Grand Elder of Tianxuan Peak, came over with a group of people.

Qin Yi looked at Han Wei, smiled faintly, and said, "So, Senior Brother Han is preparing to hold another banquet to celebrate my victory?"

Han Wei's expression froze instantly.

Qin Yi added, "Although the food and drinks last time were good, I felt they were a bit too low-class for someone of Senior Brother Han's status. If Senior Brother Han wants to treat me again, he can't be so stingy."

Han Wei was so angry that his expression twisted, and he hissed, "Qin Yi, I really want to beat you up for your shamelessness!"

Qin Yi remained calm and said, "When it comes to shamelessness, how can I compare to Senior Brother Han?"

"I'm making this clear today: you'd better stay away from Meng'er from now on, or I won't be so polite!"

Han Wei retorted angrily, "What I do is none of your business, and besides, you can't decide what Junior Sister Meng'er's life is!"

"Brother Qin can help me make the decision!" Yun Meng'er said solemnly.

"I'm Brother Qin's woman!"

"Also, Senior Brother Han, I told you last time that we're not familiar with each other. You can call me Junior Sister Yun, not Junior Sister Meng'er, to avoid misunderstandings!"

Han Wei was furious.

He gritted his teeth, staring at Qin Yi, and said, "There are only ten days left until the selection of Tianxuan Peak disciples for the Tianxing Grand Competition. I guarantee you will fall directly in the selection battle, and I will personally defeat you!"

Qin Yi said, "If you want to pull any tricks in the selection process, feel free to bring it on. Let me make this clear, I won't go easy on you!"

"How arrogant!" Han Wei roared, "So what if you're a low-grade Golden Core cultivator? I'm at the first level of the Cave Heaven Realm; dealing with you is more than enough!"

Qin Yi said, "Then let the results speak for themselves."

"Meng'er, let's go!"

Yun Meng'er immediately took Qin Yi's arm, and the two left together.

Seeing the loving couple, Han Wei's face turned ashen, his nose practically twitching with rage. He growled, "Qin Yi, just you wait!"

Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er did not return to their residence; instead, they went to the entrance of the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

Qin Yi had just completed a task and received 50,000 Star Points.

He directly spent 30,000 Star Points to exchange for the right to use a low-grade Yuan Spring for ten days.

Yun Meng'er did not waste the Star Points she had obtained. She also had more than 30,000 Star Points, which she used to exchange for the qualification to use the low-grade Yuan Spring for ten days.

The two entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm and then found two nearby Origin Springs to cultivate in.

Qin Yi first refined the quasi-Dao Fire level Crimson Yang Fire in his dantian, then used his spiritual power to nurture the Soul Veil given to him by Mu Wan, before officially activating the Origin Demon Art.

He unleashed the Demon Devouring Heaven and Earth technique, absorbing and refining the pure Yuan energy gushing from the Yuan Spring with astonishing efficiency.

Unbeknownst to them, ten days had passed since they started using the low-grade Yuan Spring.

Qin Yi's cultivation level has broken through to the seventh level of the Core Formation Realm.

Yun Meng'er's cultivation level has broken through to the second level of the Core Formation Realm, and she is just a little short of reaching the third level of the Core Formation Realm.

After all, she was also a low-grade Golden Core cultivator. Although her cultivation speed couldn't be as exaggerated as Qin Yi's, it was still quite fast compared to others.

Next, the two left the Tianyuan Secret Realm together and returned to the Tianxuan Palace. They then went directly to participate in the Tianxuan Peak Tianxing Grand Competition selection battle!
