### Translation:
’It’s vast.’ Lan Feng said in an astonished tone. "Clearly, the purity of your Qi has already created miracles."
Yan Xiaobao could only nod his head. He had no way of knowing how expansive other cultivators’ Spiritual Oceans were, but he was certain of one impression: this sea was vast, making it difficult to bridge the gap of spiritual energy within.

Just as Hui Yue began to feel a bit dejected, he noticed how a surge of Qi erged in the cave. A Hui Yue appeared in the center of the Spiritual Energy Sea, sitting upright with his eyes closed, forming the shape of a bird with his hands.
This duplicate looked identical to his lower half. Much like the lower copy refining Qi from its essence, this duplicate attracted stable Qi threads and absorbed them slowly. Gradually, it began refining the first drop of spiritual energy.
A long ti ago, Yan Xiaobao watched the Spirit Essence Sea in front of him silently, finally shifting his focus away. Beside him, Lan Feng stood proudly, gazing at the vast ocean in the sa way Yan Xiaobao did. The white-haired boy noticed how nostalgic Lan Feng’s soul looked.
For Lan Lan, Yan Xiaobao was the sole way he could restore his body, let alone avenge the man who forced him into this pitiful state. This step of forcing the Middle Dantian was rely a small step on a grand path. However, the expanse of the Spiritual Energy Sea far exceeded Lan Feng’s expectations. Despite requiring more effort to fill the void and reach King-level—and eventually achieve the Dantian top level—it laid a strong foundation for dealing with other mid-ranking experts and elevating the quality of his peers through alliances to entirely new heights.
’So... where can I find my elental affinity?’ Yan Xiaobao asked Lan Feng, his excitent still running high. Considering affinities, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but secretly hope his would be wood.
’Sit down.’ Lan Feng ordered, and Yan Xiaobao followed his ntal projection accordingly. ’Feel your entire Spiritual Energy Sea. Sowhere in its dryness, there is a fiery color. That is your affinity; you control the existing one.’
Hui Yue obediently followed Lan Feng’s instructions and it didn’t take long before he found the fla Lan Feng ntioned. However, it wasn’t just one fla, or even two.
In Yan Xiaobao’s ntal projection, five flas of differing strengths and colors appeared before him. The first fla was yellow, soaring toward the cave’s ceiling, clearly representing earth. The second fla was red and, much like the yellow fla, aid for the top; the two seed to be locked in a battle, vying for supremacy.
The third fla was silver, slightly lower than the first two flas. However, the final two flas were much weaker—one blue, the other green.
"I’ve never seen anything like this before." Lan Feng said, unease brewing in his heart. He began to worry about how this young man had managed to harbor so many secrets in his body—secrets most of which Lan Feng hadn’t even heard of, despite his long years of experience.
’Does this an I have five elental affinities?’ Yan Xiaobao asked, his handso face displaying an excited yet faintly greedy expression.
’I don’t know.’ Lan Feng responded after a mont’s pause, before muttering sothing to himself. ’Try calling to them.’ He finally said. "If they respond to your summons, then they are truly under your control. If they ignore you, then I have no idea what the significance of the five flas’ appearance is. It might be related to the nine gates within the Dantian Cave."
Yan Xiaobao nodded quickly and sat down, closing his eyes and waiting for a mont. ’How should I call to them?’ he asked awkwardly, as he sat there for a while, unable to take action.
"You really are slow." Lan Feng comnted before explaining the procedure. ’First, you need to demand them co to you. The more you deeply desire for them to reside in your hands, the faster they will respond. Focus your attention on the specific area you wish them to appear; otherwise, they will randomly appear anywhere, or in so cases, not move at all.’
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaobao nodded again. Earlier, he had called out with his soul, but saw no results, causing so slight internal worry. Hui Yue extended his arms, once again thinking of the five flas, this ti hoping they would appear in his hands. He wished for his elental affinities to beco his power, and then he suddenly felt sothing drop into his palms.
Yan Xiaobao opened his eyes to see three multicolored flas in front of him, each vying to surpass the others. One hand held a red fla, the other a yellow and a white fla. The blue and green flas, however, didn’t budge, leaving Hui Yue slightly disappointed as he abandoned hope of becoming an Alchemist.
Still, becoming an Alchemist wasn’t the only remarkable profession. For most people, having two elental affinities was exceedingly lucky. Yet here Yan Xiaobao sat in his newly accessed Middle Dantian, holding three roaring flas in his hands.
As he gazed at the flas, Yan Xiaobao was filled with satisfaction. The three flas were strong, and he was determined to use them for survival and to fight his enemies. Although he had hoped for Alchemy, the current reality wasn’t so bad; instead, he took to inscription.
Yan Xiaobao waved his hand, allowing the three flas to return to their original positions, where they continued slowly refining strands of Qi. Every hour, Hui Yue could feel a drop of pure spiritual energy descend into his Spiritual Energy Sea.
’Rest now.’ Lan Feng instructed excitedly. "Tomorrow, I’ll teach you a new skill and reveal a new ranking. Soon, we’ll be able to enter the Sacred Dungeon."
’Rest now.’ Lan Feng repeated, but Yan Xiaobao’s whole body, shaking with adrenaline, seed almost incapable of resting. His excitent over the new training schedule was blatantly clear as he sat back down to ditate. Struggling to contain his impatience, Hui Yue simply used his refining technique to gather Qi, doubling the speed of refinent compared to before.
Sitting amidst the spiritual energy sea, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but let his ntal projection sweep through his entire body, only to encounter sothing that left him startled.
Xu Yue had never possessed a masculine physique, nor was his stature exceptionally tall. However, upon entering the main phase, so major changes occurred that he hadn’t noticed before. Hui Yue remained quite frail, but his form had now beco entirely lean. Looking around, Yan Xiaobao realized his whole body had evolved—not into a broad, muscular figure focused on sheer strength, but one emphasizing agility and swift movents.
Feeling like his entire body resembled a leopard’s, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t suppress a laugh. Whenever he engaged his taut muscles, they triggered explosive movents, exerting additional force with each action.
This was usually the ti to open the Chongmai ridians, but Xu Yue’s ridians had long since been opened. After many years passed, his entire body had undergone Qi Enhancent, placing Yan Xiaobao in an advantageous position to start practicing Spiritual Art in the days ahead.
At least, that was Yan Xiaobao’s expectation. The process of refining spiritual energy took far longer than the white-haired youth initially imagined. Although he could now study Spiritual Art, he couldn’t practice it, unless he utilized Lan Feng’s spiritual energy—which the Phoenix flatly refused.
"I require this spiritual power to improve certain attributes for Wu Wei." It declared without room for dispute, leaving Xu Yue to sit and bitterly smile as he once again resud the tedious task of Qi refinent to strengthen his cultivation base.
Not long after, Yan Xiaobao’s friends discovered his ascension into the noble tier. They ca to visit him in his newly renovated backyard, bringing snacks as they sat together.
Nothing in the backyard seed to escape the flas, which had once resulted in Old Belli’s demise. Still, Yan Xiaobao’s servants had spent days ensuring the garden looked beautiful, despite Huihua costing a substantial sum.
Regardless of so expenses, Yan Xiaobao didn’t mind. One thought kept rolling through his mind: he would soon be ready to face the Sacred Dungeon. This was the place Lan Feng wanted Yan Xiaobao trained for, yet the bird stubbornly refused to disclose what it was or where it could be found. Yan Xiaobao’s only knowledge was that it contained the Shenzhou Flower.
One night, though Yan Xiaobao had spent the entire day cultivating his spiritual power, Deng Wu and Wang Julong ca over to dine with him. Together, Yan Xiaobao engaged his old friends in another round of sparring practice.
