The dazzling purple light spread from Qin Yi, gradually filling the entire pavilion with a purple glow.
Spiritual energy within a radius of tens of miles started to riot, converging towards the direction of the Duan Family.
Qin Yi's skin emitted a jade-like warmth, the purple glow wandering across its surface, appearing extrely mysterious.
One hundred Earth Spirit Stones were neatly arranged, Qin Yi's hand pressed on the topmost stone, allowing him to absorb the power from all of them simultaneously.
Absorbing one Earth Spirit Stone is equivalent to absorbing a month's worth of natural spiritual energy, and each of Qin Yi's breakthroughs requires an imnse amount of spiritual energy, tens of tis more than that of ordinary people.
Four figures appeared simultaneously, none other than the Azure Dragon and the others.
The spiritual energy within tens of miles naturally alerted them as it surged towards the Duan Family.
Seeing Qin Yi seated calmly in the pavilion, enveloped in purple mystic light, the four exchanged glances.
Xuanwu frowned, "This troubleso kid has gone too far."
Ordinary people seek a very quiet place for breakthroughs to avoid disturbances. A disrupted state can lead to devastating consequences, from severe fracturing of ridians and loss of cultivation, to serious risks like deviation and endangering one's life.
Yet here Qin Yi sat calmly, initiating his breakthrough.
The Azure Dragon and the others were speechless, shaking their heads.
Xuanwu muttered, "This kid's breakthrough is too alarming, spiritual energy within tens of miles is stirring."
The White Tiger laughed, "This troubleso kid was foreseen by Old Dragon, who expended tens of years of cultivation and lifespan, could he be ordinary?"
"What's that he's laying his hand on?" Xuanwu suddenly exclaid.
Due to the dazzling purple light around Qin Yi, it was hard to see clearly.
The Vermilion Bird gasped, "Seems like Earth Spirit Stones."
"Indeed, it is Earth Spirit Stones." Azure Dragon confird.
Xuanwu's eyes were fixed, "This troublemaker actually has so many Earth Spirit Stones, I've never seen such a number in my life."
On Earth, Earth Spirit Stones are scarce. Strictly speaking, in isolated environnts like Secret Realms, Earth Spirit Stones are in abundance due to environntal factors. However, Xuanwu and the others live outside Secret Realms, where Earth Spirit Stones are very sparse.
The Vermilion Bird remained shocked, murmuring, "Where did Qin Yi get that many Earth Spirit Stones?"
With a hundred Earth Spirit Stones before Qin Yi, greed was inevitable for many.
Xuanwu grinned, "I must ask this troublemaker for a few stones once he's done breaking through."
"Isn't this kid filled with mysteries?" White Tiger marveled.
Xuanwu turned to Azure Dragon, "Old Dragon, you don't seem surprised at all."
"Why should I be surprised?"
"Aren't you curious about where this troublemaker got so many Earth Spirit Stones?"
Azure Dragon smiled proudly, "Not curious, Qin Yi won't leave empty-handed."
"What do you an?" Xuanwu squinted.
"Last ti, Qin Yi returned and gifted dozens of Earth Spirit Stones."
Xuanwu and White Tiger turned red with jealousy.
The Vermilion Bird didn't say anything but the envy in his eyes was obvious to anyone.
"Why?" Xuanwu grumbled.
Azure Dragon surprisedly said, "Of course, I have a good relationship with Qin Yi."
"Ugh... As if our relationship with this troublemaker is bad." Xuanwu scorned.
"Whoever is close to Qin Yi, the Earth Spirit Stones prove everything, you haven't seen him gift you any." Azure Dragon said smugly.
Xuanwu's face was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred, but he rolled his eyes disdainfully, "Tch, what's so great about it. Qin Yi didn't give any because he forgot, I'll remind him later."
Azure Dragon rolled his eyes, shalessly pretending to want Earth Spirit Stones.
"Look." Vermilion Bird suddenly exclaid.
They focused their gaze, as Qin Yi's stones were stacked like a small pyramid. Now, the top Earth Spirit Stone had turned to powder, aning that Qin Yi had already refined and absorbed the spiritual energy of over ten Earth Spirit Stones.
How imnse is this spiritual energy?
Although the four were well-inford, they were struck by the scene before them. For ordinary Qi Refiners, the spiritual energy within the Earth Spirit Stones could easily explode their bodies.
"Wow!"
Another ten Earth Spirit Stones turned to powder, refined and absorbed.
The purple glow around Qin Yi was incredibly dazzling, his whole person akin to a radiant purple sun, filled with mysterious power.
The Azure Dragon and the others held their breath, guarding from any possible mishap with Qin Yi.
The Earth Spirit Stones in front of Qin Yi crumbled, turning to powder.
Because he possesses a Twin Life Elixir, his required spiritual energy is dozens or hundreds of tis more than ordinary people. Coupled with the unique and domineering power of his cultivation technique, he's swallowing up the surrounding and Earth Spirit Stone spiritual energy with reckless abandon.
Moreover, this is far from enough; the two Golden Cores are like bottomless pits, impossible to fill.
Qin Yi could feel the barrier for a breakthrough but lacked the sufficient spiritual energy to break through. He must continue absorbing spiritual energy desperately.
...
The next day, dawn gently fell upon Qin Yi, yet couldn't penetrate the purple glow around him.
The hundred Earth Spirit Stones before him had all turned to powder.
Qin Yi was still frantically absorbing the surging surrounding spiritual energy.
The Azure Dragon and the others guarded through the night, shocked all along, as Qin Yi's spiritual energy requirents were terrifyingly high. Even if the four broke through, they wouldn't need such imnse spiritual energy.
"Could sothing have happened to this troublemaker?" Xuanwu muttered, face full of concern.
White Tiger frowned, "Shut your mouth."
"Unlikely, Qin Yi's breath is stable, but he truly amazes; a hundred Earth Spirit Stones plus the surrounding spiritual energy still aren't enough, how much does he need?" Azure Dragon exclaid.
The Vermilion Bird said gravely, "The surrounding spiritual energy is becoming thinner."
The thinning spiritual energy was due to Qin Yi's relentless absorption through the night, almost depleting it entirely.
Truthfully, Qin Yi himself was anxious, with the two Golden Cores slowly spinning, consuming as much spiritual energy as his body could absorb. Moreover, his skeleton and ridians were fighting for spiritual energy, bursting with brilliant golden light, his whole body glowing, even his blood tinged with gold.
Qin Yi smiled wryly, his body becoming increasingly bizarre.
This won't do, the surrounding spiritual energy is scarce, it's almost undetectable.
If only he had erected a Spirit Summoning Array before the breakthrough to gather spiritual energy within hundreds of miles.
Now, it's clearly too late; the breakthrough can't be interrupted lest all efforts be wasted.
Qin Yi flipped his hand, producing another hundred Earth Spirit Stones, beginning a frenzied absorption. He wanted to see how much spiritual energy his body could endure.
