Refine the spirit

  Three days had passed unknowingly, and on the third day when the sun rose, Qin Yi woke up from his meditation.

  Just now when he was meditating, he tried to communicate with the dragon in his body, but still didn't get any response.

  Except for the first dragon that woke up, the other dragons are still lifeless and motionless, as if they were giant stone statues. The second dragon has not shown any signs of movement so far.

  "It seems that to make all these dragons wake up, I still can't be impatient. If I could wake up the second dragon, I would definitely have the confidence to challenge Qin Hongyi. However, now that only one has woken up, Qin Hanzong will absolutely not be my opponent." Qin Yi's body shook, and with a whooshing sound, the air around him went wild, blowing the bamboo forest outside a hundred steps away into a rustling response.

  "Although I haven't broken through to the sixth layer of the Blood Sacrifice Realm, with my current cultivation at the sixth layer of Bone Forging, combined with the Black Python's Shattering Void Technique, I can absolutely defeat a fifth-layer expert of the Blood Sacrifice!" Qin Yi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with confidence. "Others may need to practice for over twenty years to reach the Bone Forging Realm, but my speed is several hundred times faster than theirs!"

  "Go back and take a bath first, otherwise the people from Tian Sheng College will see you and get a bad impression." Qin Yi smiled helplessly as he looked at his tattered clothes.

  For the past twenty days, he had been staying in the mountains behind, bitterly practicing because of his cultivation of the Eight Extremities Great Method. He could absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so he didn't feel hungry at all. Moreover, under the tempering of the Eight Extremities Great Method, the impurities within Qin Yi's body had already been eliminated by half, so even though it had been twenty days since he last bathed, his body didn't have any stench of sweat. He just had some dust on him and his clothes were tattered and worn out, making him look like a beggar.

  "For twenty days, I haven't appeared in the mansion, and no one has cared about my life or death... Hmph!" Standing on the mountain slope, Qin Yi gazed at the vast Qin family mansion below, a flash of sharpness flickering in his eyes. Then he leapt high, his legs swift as wind, agile like a weasel, fast as a cheetah. In the blink of an eye, he covered over thirty steps forward.

  The mountain road was steep and uneven, but under Qin Yi's feet, it was as flat as a pancake. This was something he had never felt even when he was in the Bone Forging Realm three years ago.

  His current strength is absolutely far beyond his past!

  Qin Yi quickly took a bath and changed his clothes after drilling into his own courtyard.

  It wasn't until he was taking a bath that he discovered his body had well-proportioned muscles, without an ounce of excess fat. His physique was even more harmonious, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as the golden ratio. The immense power hidden within his muscles and bones caused the water in the bathtub to quiver and bubble.

  Ready, Qin Yi stepped out of the house, feeling a bit nervous and excited.

  "This time, see if Second Uncle and Third Uncle still have any reason to make things difficult for me."

  Just as he stepped out of the courtyard, Qin Yi was suddenly stopped by two armored guards from the Qin manor.

  The Qin family is the second largest family in Yuhua City, and even the guards in the family are at least at the Refining Flesh realm. In the past, when Qin Yi's cultivation fell to Refining Flesh, it can be said that not even the lowest servants or guards in the house were inferior to him.

  "Sorry, young master, you can't go out." The guard's words sounded quite polite, but his tone was firm and left no room for negotiation.

  "Why?" Qin Yi asked in surprise: "I've already discussed with the master of the house, today we're supposed to go welcome the people from Tian Sheng College."

  "This is the master's order, young master, you are not allowed to go anywhere today. If you take one step out of this courtyard, you will be punished by breaking your legs at best or being executed directly!" The guard raised his long spear, and the metal armor on his body clanged, making a loud "clang" sound.

  "An order from the master of the house?" Qin Yi vaguely guessed something and hastily said, "You want me to go see the master of the house right now, I need to ask clearly."

  "The master of the house and Third Master had left half an hour ago to see off Miss and Young Master to meet the people from Tian Sheng College."

  "What?" Qin Yi's mind buzzed with a sudden noise.

  I didn't think it would go this far. Qin Hongyi is so shameless that he's sent someone to guard himself today in order to prevent me from taking back my spot. He's resorted to such a despicable and underhanded method!

  "Get out of my way!" Qin Yi felt a raging fire burning inside him, his fists clenched tightly, making cracking sounds.

  Forced by Qin Yi's aura, the two guards involuntarily took a step back, exchanged a glance, and saw a startled expression in each other's eyes.

  At this moment, Qin Yi in their eyes, that momentum is like an ancient magic beast, pressing them almost to the point of breathlessness, which was absolutely impossible in the past few years.

  "Master, please don't make it difficult for us..." Another guard said with a bow.

  "What if I really go out? Are you daring to be so arrogant, to bully the master with a slave's attitude?" Qin Yi said coldly, taking a step forward at the same time.

  "Halt!" The two guards plucked up their courage. This young master was far from the talented youth of three years ago who had reached the Bone Forging Realm. He was merely at the Flesh Forging Realm and wasn't even a match for them.

  With a sweep of his spear, he thrust it towards Qin Yi's chest, and the two guards' goal was simply to block Qin Yi.

  Bang!

  Two long spears were caught in mid-air by Qin Yi with one hand, and the speed was so fast that neither of the two guards saw clearly.

  They wanted to pull the spears back, but were shocked to find that the two spears seemed to be cast in iron on Qin Yi's palm, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't budge them at all.

  At first they were surprised, but in the next moment, their expressions turned into horror.

  Two long spears were twisted into a rope-like shape by Qin Yi with just one hand!

  "Since you only want to stop me, I'll spare your lives." Qin Yi let out a loud shout, and in an instant, he snatched the two long spears from them, while simultaneously throwing out two punches.

  Bang! Bang!

  Two robust guards, their bodies clad in iron armor with spiderweb-like cracks, flew far away and rolled on the ground for over ten meters before finally coming to a stop.

  Splash!

  The long spear shot out, like a flash of starlight, instantly piercing the thighs of two guards, pinning them to the ground, and fresh blood spurted from the wound, shaken by the long spear into swirling, eerie blood mist.

  No longer looking at the two unconscious guards, Qin Yi turned around just as he was about to leave, and saw a line of people walking towards him from afar, with a flash of icy cold light in his eyes.

  The leader of the group had a fair complexion, but his eyes revealed a sinister cunning that was not in line with his age. He was Qin Hongren's second son and also Qin Yi's cousin - Qin Zhan.

  Qin Yi's second uncle Qin Hongyi had only one daughter, while Qin Hongren had three wives and four concubines, with a total of eight sons, the youngest of whom was not yet a month old.

  Qin Zhan was Qin Hongren's second son, fifteen years old this year. However, his strength had also reached the fourth stage of Refining Muscles under the massive accumulation of Flame Pills by Qin Hongren.

  Behind him was a row of Qin Fu guards holding Snow Pattern Fine Steel knives, and the armor on these guards was at least one level better than the two guards that Qin Yi had just knocked down.

  On the continent of Yu Feng, Snow Pattern Fine Steel is expensive, a Snow Pattern Fine Steel sword is worth 300 Clusters of Flame Dan, and only a big family like Qin's can afford equipment of this level.

  These men wielding Snow Patterned Steel knives were naturally the elite of the Qin Manor's guards, numbering one hundred in total. At the very least, they were all skilled fighters who had reached the Refining Membrane realm.

  Qin Yi's eyes narrowed, since the other side had even sent out elite guards, their determination to intercept him was indeed exceptionally firm.

  Qin Zhan walked towards Qin Yi with a fake smile, clapping his hands and saying: "Brother Qin Yi is really skilled, I don't know if your meat boundary realm's strength can pass my test or not?"

  "Qin Zhan, if you let me go now, I might still spare your life. After all, your father spent no less than a hundred million Flame Essence Pills to cultivate you." Qin Yi sneered: "If something unexpected happens to you, what will he use to fill the hole in the family's account?"

  Upon hearing Qin Yi's words, Qin Zhan immediately changed his expression: "Shut up! Today, I'll smash your dog mouth!"

  Because of the remaining prestige of Qin Yi in the past, Qin Zhan was at least polite to him. Now that his own brother had become a disciple of Tian Sheng College, it was already a foregone conclusion. With his nose upturned, Qin Zhan almost looked down on everyone, and probably no one in the entire Qin family could be taken seriously by him.

  Take a step with the "T" shape, Qin Zhan's two hands open wide, his body is like a bow, the power of the muscles is constantly gathering. This is the manifestation of the practice of tendon boundary, which can accumulate the whole body's strength like a big bow and then concentrate on one point to burst out.

  Qin Zhan needs time to accumulate power, but Qin Yi doesn't. He can complete the process of accumulation and explosion in an instant.

  "No one is allowed to come up, look at the young master killing this dog today!" Qin Zhan's eyes locked onto Qin Yi, seeing Qin Yi standing still on the spot with a ferocious smile, "Get down obediently for the young master!"

  With a whooshing sound, Qin Zhan quickly sprinted towards Qin Yi, his body stretching out in mid-air, his fists punching the air and producing a loud humming noise.

  The guards behind him all showed a look of envy, they were at least twenty years old and had only reached the third layer of the Refining Membrane Realm, which was one realm lower than Qin Zhan's at fifteen.

  No one suspected that Qin Yi, who was two realms lower than Qin Zhan, would be directly killed on the spot.

  "At such a young age, his heart is already so vicious..." Qin Yi let out a hum, and suddenly glared at Qin Zhan. The next moment, his body vanished from the spot.

  Qin Zhan's eyes blinked, and he hadn't reacted yet to Qin Yi's disappearance.

  The next moment, a great force suddenly came crashing down from the top of his head, as if it were an ancient southern barbarian giant elephant falling heavily.

  Boom!

  Qin Zhan raised his head and saw that Qin Yi's blinking movement had actually appeared above himself, a pair of fleshy palms carrying wind and thunder, slamming down on his own back.

  Qin Zhan hastily raised his hand in an attempt to deflect it.

  "Nine Fire Crack Valley!" Qin Yi let out a loud shout, and the air within two zhang of his palm emitted a deafening explosion, surging in all directions.

  Under Qin Yi's palm, a large area of true vacuum suddenly appeared!

  Compared to a dragon's power, Qin Zhan's strength was like dust. As soon as his arm touched Qin Yi's palm, his bones were broken inch by inch, and his skin burst open, spewing out blood and flesh. His muscles were riddled with holes, and from afar, the blood and flesh on his bones seemed to have thickened by a fold.

  "Ah!" A severe pain came, Qin Zhuang's face was ferocious, his eyes were full of incredulity, and he looked at Qin Yi in despair as the second palm followed closely.

  Bang!

  A loud crash, as if a resounding slap was slapped on the faces of all the people present. Qin Yi's palm rose with smoke and dust, amidst which a bloody mist was hidden.

  When Qin Yi fell back to the ground, a blood-colored human-shaped pit appeared in front of him.

  Qin Zhan, who was in the realm of refining his muscles, was actually knocked into the ground by him with just two moves!
