He had passed through the Fifth Palace.
Eighty thousand Merit Points.
Previously, Qin Tian had used up all his Merit Points when exchanging for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Now, with eighty thousand Merit Points in hand, everything seemed to go much smoother.
Meridian Pavilion.
Second floor.
Qin Tian faced no obstacles as he stepped directly onto the second floor.
This time, he was no longer as unfamiliar as he had been during his first visit.
To his surprise, there wasn't a single person here.
Without hesitation, Qin Tian began to browse through the first cabinet.
The second floor was significantly smaller than the first.
In comparison, the number of martial arts techniques was also considerably less.
However, there was no doubt that the techniques on the second floor were not comparable to those on the first.
All the martial arts here were advanced. In fact, some were even of a higher grade.
Qin Tian took his time, starting from the first cabinet and quickly moving through it. In no time at all, he had already gone through seven cabinets.
Bang!
Just as Qin Tian was about to open a particular book, he unexpectedly felt a jolt as his finger made contact.
The compartment of the book unexpectedly opened.
After a brilliant flash of light, it vanished without a trace.
Qin Tian reached out and began to rummage through the compartment.
"What is this?"
He withdrew his hand, only to find a book radiating a golden glow.
"Purple Qi Dan Path, Part One."
Could there be a second part?
Qin Tian opened the book, but to his dismay, the words could not be imprinted in his mind.
After reading once, he understood nothing.
After reading twice, he felt bitter.
After reading three times, he still made no progress.
"Forget it, I can only rent it."
Qin Tian felt quite speechless. He never expected that his Double Pupil would be utterly useless.
After clearly imprinting the remaining techniques in his mind, Qin Tian took the Purple Qi Dan Path and headed to the exit of Meridian Pavilion.
"Are you not going to rent the techniques?"
To his surprise, the elder sitting at the door looked at Qin Tian with curiosity.
Qin Tian showed no outward reaction, but inside, he was filled with shock.
The Purple Qi Dan Path was indeed unparalleled; not only could his Double Pupil not replicate it, but even more terrifying was the fact that this elder, who had already entered a higher realm, could not perceive it at all.
"In my haste, I forgot. My apologies!"
Qin Tian returned to the second floor and casually picked up a manual. After paying a certain amount of Merit Points, he left the Meridian Pavilion.
Watching him leave, the elder sitting at the entrance let out a sigh of relief.
"This thing is ominous. It's best not to bring it back again. Damn it, those who got this book ended up covered in hair and died. This thing... tsk tsk."
...
Qin Tian happily returned to the Cave with two books in hand.
"This manual is so powerful? No one could see it."
He took out the Purple Qi Dan Path from his pocket, brimming with excitement.
"Junior Brother, where have you been these past few days? You haven't come to play with me. Is it because I'm too handsome that you don't want to hang out anymore?"
At that moment, a lewd figure squeezed through the door.
Gao Jian.
"Third Senior Brother, how did you get in here? Get up quickly."
Qin Tian held the Purple Qi Dan Path in one hand and helped Gao Jian up with the other.
"Junior Brother, your senior brother is about to die of loneliness. You have no idea... What the hell! How did you get this book? Quickly, put it back! It's ominous!"
As soon as Gao Jian got up, he saw the Purple Qi Dan Path on Qin Tian's right hand, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and tremble all over.
His plump body stumbled back three or four steps.
Leaning against the door, his face was filled with panic.
"You can see it?"
Qin Tian was puzzled and glanced at the Purple Qi Dan Path on his right hand.
"Senior Brother, I advise you to retreat! This book has caused the deaths of many. Aside from the First Ancestor, there has been no good fortune associated with it. Over the centuries, eight disciples of the Sword Sect have obtained this book for cultivation. In the end..."
Gao Jian's entire body shook violently.
"What happened in the end?"
Qin Tian was also curious. His Double Pupil ability was unique.
Whether it was Advanced Martial Arts or intermediate techniques, even skills that others had only used once—he could innovate and surpass previous masters with just a glance.
Yet, with this book, he couldn't remember a single word; each time he opened it felt like a brand new experience.
"All eight of them encountered misfortune while studying the Purple Qi Dan Path, their bodies covered in purple hair before they perished. The last one was a senior from thirty years ago. Since then, this book has nearly become a forbidden text in our sect. Do you know why the second floor of the Meridian Pavilion is often empty? Because no one dares to go!"
As Fatty Gao Jian spoke, Qin Tian recalled that when he went to the second floor, there really hadn't been anyone there.
He had thought it was too early for anyone to be around.
Now that he thought about it, that probably wasn't the reason.
"This book can't be that exaggerated, can it?"
Gao Jian silently opened the cave door and then shook his head at Qin Tian. "Senior Brother still has matters to attend to. Remember... you must retreat. Absolutely!"
After saying that, Gao Jian hurriedly rolled away from Qin Tian's Cave.
Watching this scene, Qin Tian couldn't help but twitch his mouth a few times.
"Have I been tricked?"
Qin Tian rubbed his forehead, closed the cave door, and then sat back down on the bed.
"Martial God Senior, are you still there?"
With no other options, he could only ask Martial God Senior.
A brilliant light flickered from his right eye.
Martial God Senior lazily stretched.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say; I was just sleeping!"
"This book, take a look and see if there's any problem with it."
Qin Tian handed the Purple Qi Dan Path to War God. War God didn't say much and began to read it carefully.
After a while.
"It really is the Purple Qi Dan Path? And it's the initial edition. If those old geezers from the Eastern Coming Sect of Central Continent find out about this, your Southern Land will probably turn into ruins!"
A smile appeared on Martial God Senior's face as he closed the book with interest.
"Central Continent? Eastern Arrival Sect? I don't understand!"
Qin Tian said helplessly.
"Let me put it this way! Among your Sect, the strongest ancestor's cultivation level might barely qualify him to be a servant disciple in the Eastern Coming Sect of Central Continent. Do you understand now?"
War God stretched lazily, placing Purple Qi Dan Path, also known as Panxi, on the ground.
“Ahem.”
Qin Tian tried hard to conceal the terror in his heart, but Martial God Senior still noticed.
“You don’t need to be so surprised. For any first-generation cultivator, it is always the most difficult. If you can step into the ranks of the strongest in this world, your descendants and even the forces you create will not fall behind those Sects in the Central Continent. Everything takes time. I took a look at this book; it’s a fragment of the first volume, and there are issues!”
Martial God Senior opened the book and began to read word by word.
“This book has likely been deliberately scrambled. If I’m not mistaken, this person is your Sect’s First Ancestor.
This is quite normal because if it were in order, once someone successfully cultivates, it would surely trigger a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon. At that time, those old-timers from Eastern Arrival Sect would discover the initial volume in your remote location through Purple Qi Dan Path.
Don’t even mention Xuan Yang Sword Sect; even if you gather all the Sects from your Southern Land, heh heh…”
Martial God Senior didn’t continue, but Qin Tian understood what would happen.
“Then doesn’t that mean I can’t cultivate either? If I succeed, won’t I drag down Xuan Yang Sword Sect?”
Qin Tian said cautiously.
“No, don’t forget, you have me here!”
Martial God Senior flipped through the book again and began to reorder it.
In less than half an hour, it was done.
“Alright, you can start cultivating now. However, you must remember: once you reach the final step of cultivating the initial volume of Purple Qi Dan Path, you must tell me so that I can help you shield from heavenly listening. As long as I assist you during your Alchemy, those old-timers won’t discover anything.
In the future, as your Cultivation improves, you will also be able to shield from heavenly listening yourself. However, one thing must be noted: this is after all Purple Qi Dan Path. Once successful, learning other alchemical paths could lead to madness and death. If you want to refine more powerful elixirs, you must study the subsequent chapters of Purple Qi Dan Path.
As for these matters, it will depend on your own abilities. You can either snatch the later chapters from Eastern Arrival Sect, or never engage in Alchemy for your entire life.”
"Martial God Senior" finished speaking and handed the "Purple Qi Dan Path" to "Qin Tian," before returning to "Qin Tian's" right eye.
"This is such a hassle!"
"Qin Tian" scratched his head.
"I have to admit, even though I can't stand those stubborn old fools from the Eastern Arrival Sect, their alchemy truly is the most orthodox among all the paths. Other forms of alchemy are merely side branches compared to theirs. This cost is acceptable."
"Qin Tian" nodded and placed the "Purple Qi Dan Path" in his bosom.
His right eye revealed the "Double Pupil," and he began to cultivate other techniques he had found in the "Meridian Pavilion."
"Four Directions Mystic Finger."
"Raging Tide Sword."
"Illusory Light Celestial Step."
"True Scripture of the Sun."
...
One by one, the techniques were illuminated by "Qin Tian's" "Double Pupil," and he executed them with ease.
Initial Entry!
Minor Achievement!
"Qin Tian's" cultivation speed was truly astonishing.
In order to quickly succeed in his training, he practiced each technique thoroughly. As a result, apart from a few particularly powerful Advanced Martial Arts, all the other Advanced Martial Arts surprisingly reached Minor Achievement.
Once through, Minor Achievement!
If this were to get out, who knows how many people would be spitting blood and jumping into the river.
Many disciples focus on cultivating a single technique, and it takes them half a year to a year just to reach Minor Achievement. To cultivate it to the peak or even perfection, no one would dare to guarantee success in less than three years.
Even the former Qin Tian was no exception.
It took him three years to bring a Fist Technique to Minor Achievement.
The intricate dissection of Double Pupil and the profound insights imprinted in every aspect of the technique.
The first transformation of Martial God Inheritance resulted in Golden Battle Blood and golden bones, elevating his Talent to an extraordinarily Freakish level.
With both aspects combined, along with Qin Tian's hard work, he achieved all of this.
All three elements were indispensable.
As time slowly passed, it reached a moment at noon.
A cold laugh suddenly spread across Sky Peak.
“Qin Tian, get out here!”
