Chapter 766 Nine Stars

Chapter 766 Nine Stars
After some ideological struggle, Qin Xuan finally decided to refine the Heart of the Ocean. Although he had already successfully built the foundation, the path of cultivation is endless, and he must go further. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with!
Qin Xuan has successfully established a foundation and can immediately transform into an inner disciple. However, the assessment conference of the sect is coming soon, so it would be fine to reveal his true level of cultivation at that time. No rush in the next few days. Translation:
Nine stars stretch continuously in Qin Xuan's brain domain, emitting starlight. Since his foundation building, the nine stars have become even brighter and emit more starlight. Now, Qin Xuan feels that his brain domain is completely occupied by infinite starlight.
With a single thought, the starlight swiftly flows towards both arms, finally reaching the palms of Qin Xuan's hands. His hands immediately become crystal clear and translucent, shining brightly with dazzling starlight.
He stretches out his shimmering hands and embraces the Heart of the Ocean in his arms.
Immediately, two surging streams of icy fluid flowed into his body from his two arms. Qin Xuan knew that the icy fluid was the spiritual energy of the Ocean's Heart. The Ocean's Heart was a product of the deep sea in the Land of Extreme Cold, and the spiritual energy it contained was naturally icy.
After entering the body, the cold spirit energy directly penetrates into the meridians and mixes with the spiritual power.
The spiritual energy in the Heart of the Ocean is too pure to need the operation of the "Mixed Yuan Secret". They can integrate well with spiritual power and transform into it on their own.
This kind of exhilarating feeling makes Qin Xuan feel as if he is immersed in a hot bath, with his whole body feeling relaxed.
The profound spiritual energy contained within the Heart of the Ocean is vast, and his meridians have already been filled with spiritual power, causing them to swell. However, the size of the Heart of the Ocean held in his hands has not changed much.
Just refining such a small Ocean Heart has greatly increased his spiritual power, which makes Qin Xuan overjoyed and feel that it was a wise choice to spend all his spiritual coins at the auction to buy this Ocean Heart.
If the entire heart of the ocean is refined, not only will the spiritual power double, it is even possible to double it again.
Although the starlight envelops the meridians to prevent them from being damaged and ruptured, if this continues, the meridians themselves will not be able to withstand the spiritual power storage. Therefore, from now on, starlight must be constantly activated to protect the meridians without the slightest slackness. Otherwise, the meridians may burst, spiritual power will dissipate, and cultivation will be ruined.
After realizing this, Qin Xuan immediately stopped refining the Heart of the Ocean, deciding to take it slowly. He couldn't be too greedy and try to refine the entire Heart of the Ocean at once, otherwise there would be great risks.
Qin Xuan put the Heart of the Ocean back into the black cloth bag and took out something else. It was the jade pendant he had bought for a hundred spirit coins. I have translated the content for you.
This jade plaque contains a high-level palm technique, but I haven't been able to find time to practice it. Now, the spiritual energy in my meridians has reached a saturation point, and I can no longer continue cultivating spiritual energy. It's a perfect time to learn this set of palm techniques.
With the jade token held in hand, an immediate connection was established with the nine stars in my mind, radiating starlight and forming a figure of light and shadow. The figure of light and shadow immediately began practicing that set of palm techniques.
Qin Xuan stood in the middle of the wooden house and began learning the set of palm techniques move by move.
After an hour, he finally managed to smoothly execute this set of palm techniques, but only in terms of form. He had not grasped any deeper meanings and was merely an empty shell. The palms he struck lacked any strength whatsoever.
Finally, he felt tired and went to bed to rest.
The next day, an old friend came to visit him at the small cabin.
It was the same Wang Shao who previously helped clear out the wild boars in Lingxiao Mountain.
Seeing the figure of Wang Shao appearing in his courtyard, Qin Xuan was quite surprised. He walked up and asked in astonishment, "Wang Shao, how did you come here?"
Wang Shao smiled slightly and replied, "Just came to see you!"
Qin Xuan also smiled. He knew that Wang Shao was just being polite. They didn't really have a relationship, and Wang Shao must have had some other reason for coming. As the saying goes, "There is no smoke without fire."
"Wang Shao, your cultivation has improved a lot!"
After sizing up Wang Shao in front of him, Qin Xuan casually remarked.
Qin Xuan could tell at a glance that Wang Shao was already at the peak of the eighth level of Qi refining and was about to break through to the ninth level.
Wang Shao still smiled and said, "With half a bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill, my cultivation speed has improved significantly, which allowed me to reach the eighth level of Qi cultivation in such a short time."
Wang Shao also took a good look at Qin Xuan but couldn't determine his current cultivation level. He asked, "Qin brother, what cultivation level are you at now?
I actually couldn't figure it out!"
Qin Xuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "My cultivation level is several levels lower than yours, so I'm too embarrassed to say."
Qin Xuan blabbered on, not even letting Hou Jing know when he successfully built his foundation, so of course he wouldn't tell Wang Shao that he had already reached the foundation building period. He knew Wang Shao was always arrogant, so he pretended to be modest and told him that his cultivation level was lower than his own, which made him happy.
As expected, Wang Shao's face showed a proud look, without delving into the specific level of Qin Xuan's cultivation.
"Wang Shao, you come to find me, there should be something, right?"
Without getting to the point, Wang Shao was talking. Qin Xuan asked actively.
Wang Shao nodded and said, "I did come to discuss something with you."
Qin Xuan asked, "What is it?"
Wang Shao sighed and said, "I've taken on another faction mission and plan to team up with you!"
In the task of eliminating the blue-skinned wild boar group in Lingxiao Mountain, Wang Shao had seen Qin Xuan's strength and knew that Qin Xuan's combat power was stronger than that of ordinary inner disciples...
Qin Xuan chuckled and said, "Why would Wang Shao want to team up with me?"
Wang Shao straightforwardly replied, "Because you have a powerful combat prowess. Even Chu Feng senior brother is not as strong as you."
Hearing Wang Shao's words, Qin Xuan couldn't refute them, but he also didn't feel any joy from the other person's approval. He calmly said, "Didn't you say that you would seclude yourself and cultivate during this period, aiming to advance to the ninth stage of Qi Training before the evaluation conference next month?"
Why are you thinking about accepting the sect mission again?
Wang Shao awkwardly smiled and said, "Originally, I planned to do so. I intended to cultivate in seclusion during this period and improve my cultivation."
However, I didn't expect the Spirit Gathering Pill to be consumed so quickly. My half bottle of Spirit Gathering Pill has already been used up. But the effect is still there, I have already reached the peak of Qi Refining Stage Eight, but because of this, I have tasted the sweetness of accelerating my cultivation strength by taking Spirit Gathering Pills. Now, without Spirit Gathering Pill, I feel helpless in my whole body...”
