At the same time, the Spiritual Deity rose.
Qin Shujian did not stop cultivating.
Another two or three hours passed.
The Guiyuan Ancestral Canon that was circulating in his body slowly stopped. The surrounding Spiritual Qi also gradually dissipated.
The Spiritual Deity returned to his body.
Qin Shujian opened his closed eyes. There was a flash of regret in his eyes.
"I was so close to breaking through to the twenty-eighth level. What a pity."
Thinking of this.
He could not help but shake his head.
Sometimes, a little bit was the difference between success and failure.
Now, the Guiyuan Ancestral Canon.
Qin Shujian could be considered to have truly cultivated to the peak of the seventh level of the Spiritual Martial Technique. Moreover, he was about to step into the eighth level.
However —
Stepping through the door wasn't really considered a successful breakthrough.
"But soon. In ten days to half a month, I should be able to break through to the eighth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm." Sensing his own situation, Qin Shujian could roughly estimate how long it would take for him to break through.
For now, he was.
Ten days to half a month was nothing.
It would happen in the blink of an eye.
However —
Qin Shujian did not plan to continue cultivating. Instead, he stood up and left the peak of Liang Mountain.
Since he did not succeed in his first closed-door cultivation.
There was no need to immediately go into closed-door cultivation for a second time.
Having a balance between tension and relaxation.
This was the true way to cultivate for a long time.
Or else …
If the obsession to break through was too deep, it would be easy to fall into a trance. At that time, it might take twice as long to achieve the desired result.
When the strange phenomenon in the sky disappeared.
The experts in the Yuan Sect also shifted their attention.
However —
The commotion caused by this breakthrough still shocked many people.
If they were not mistaken.
That Spiritual Deity was at least two hundred and twenty feet tall.
A Spiritual Deity two hundred and twenty feet tall.
And it was a Spiritual Deity of the Spiritual Martial Realm.
That was a bit shocking.
As everyone knew, two hundred feet was the limit of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Once it exceeded this limit, it was considered to have broken the limit.
People who could reach this step.
Only a few geniuses could do it.
When they thought of Qin Shujian's identity as the Domain Master of the Spiritual Realm and the rumor of his reincarnation, they felt relieved.
When it came to geniuses.
No one should be able to compete with this person.
Qin Shujian's attempt to break through only caused a small commotion, but it soon quieted down.
In the next few days.
He still did what he had to do in the sect.
But there was something worth mentioning.
Many disciples who had gone to Thousand Mountains Prefecture had already returned to the sect to submit their missions and received a large number of Contribution Points.
During the mission submission process.
Qin Shujian once again felt the boundless potential of players.
A group of people whose strongest strength was no higher than the physical invulnerability stage.
He had actually used some unknown method to assassinate a great cultivator of the Divine Martial Realm.
Even he was secretly shocked by the fact that the assassin was able to surpass two major realms.
Although in the process of the assassination.
There was a high probability that it was done with the help of external objects.
But even so, it was still amazing.
Qin Shujian was very clear.
In the sect, the methods that the current players could exchange for were at most used against Prominent Divine Stage cultivators.
The most powerful method was the Dao of Array.
But without Spirit Stones and other things that could completely support a Grandmaster level array, the array that could support other things could at most deal with Prominent Divine Stage cultivators. The probability of killing a Divine Martial Realm cultivator was very low.
Under such circumstances.
The players could still think of ways to kill a Divine Martial Realm cultivator.
Qin Shujian couldn't help but admire them.
"The potential of the players is really endless. If used properly, they are even more useful than the disciples of other sects."
But he was also clear.
Nurturing players was a double-edged sword.
What Qin Shujian wanted to do now was to let the players have the impression that he was an NPC that couldn't be attacked.
If that was the case.
Then most of the players would instinctively ignore the idea of attacking him.
So.
Qin Shujian had been creating an image of himself being invincible from the beginning to the end.
Not long after the last player had submitted the mission, Zhao Shanlin came in front of him and cupped his fists, "Sect Master, Steward Xiao of the Beiyun Marquis Mansion is here."
"Xiao Hong?" Qin Shujian was slightly startled and said, "Where is he?"
"Waiting at the Martial Arts Hall."
"Ask him to come here."
"Yes!"
Looking at Zhao Shanlin's departing figure, his eyes flashed with doubt.
Xiao Hong's current identity in front of Yuan Zong was the spokesperson of Marquis Beiyun.
Under such circumstances.
The other party usually wouldn't easily visit if there wasn't something important.
Now that he was here.
It already meant that Marquis Beiyun had something to convey to him.
When Xiao Hong arrived, Qin Shujian had already brewed the osmanthus spiritual tea and took out two empty cups, filling them with tea.
"Steward Xiao, please sit!" He didn't get up and directly gestured with his hand.
To this.
Xiao Hong didn't care, but directly sat down and said with a smile, "Every time I come to Yuan Zong, I can taste this osmanthus spiritual tea. It really makes this old man enjoy it."
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup in front of him and first took a sip, then sighed and said, "If it's possible, this old man would like to shamelessly ask Sect Master Qin for one or two taels of osmanthus."
"Haha, if Steward Xiao likes it, I'm not a stingy person."
Qin Shujian laughed, but he didn't take the other party's words seriously.
The osmanthus tree in the courtyard had been nourished by Spiritual Qi and was comparable to a spiritual plant, but it still couldn't mature for the time being. The osmanthus on the tree was at most on par with third-level spiritual tea.
With Xiao Hong's identity.
Not to mention third grade spirit tea, even if it was higher grade spirit tea, the other party would definitely not lack spirit tea of a higher grade.
His words.
Were more polite and complimentary words.
After a smile, Qin Shujian looked at him and asked curiously, "Steward Xiao, is Marquis here for something again?"
"Indeed, I can't hide anything from Sect Master Qin. This time, this old man is indeed here on Marquis's orders."
Xiao Hong first smiled, then said seriously.
"This time, I'm here to ask Sect Master Qin to deal with Gu Changqing!"
"Gu Changqing?"
"Marquis Qianshan's real name is Gu Changqing!"
Only after Xiao Hong explained did Qin Shujian come to a realization.
To tell the truth.
Until now, he only knew that Marquis Qianshan's real name was Gu Changqing.
Before this.
Qin Shujian really hadn't inquired about the other party's name.
Xiao Hong said, "Now that Gu Changqing's base is in chaos due to the Mutant assassination, the imperial court has decided to take this opportunity to eliminate the rebels in one fell swoop."
At this point.
He looked at Qin Shujian a few more times.
The instigator of the Mutant assassination was the Sect Master of Yuan Sect in front of him.
Seeing that there was no change in his expression, Xiao Hong continued, "It's naturally difficult to fight against the imperial court with just the strength of the rebels, but Gu Changqing has two Array Masters.
It's also because of this that the imperial court's army has suffered heavy losses. Several attacks have been fruitless. "
"No matter how few Array Masters there are, the imperial court should have one!"
"Of course, the imperial court has Array Masters, but the Great Zhao Empire is vast and many places need Array Masters to guard. There aren't many Array Masters that can be mobilized."
Xiao Hong didn't hesitate to answer Qin Shujian's question.
"Previously, one of the Array Masters who accompanied the army was attacked by two Array Masters and suffered serious injuries. Now that he has recuperated, he is almost fully recovered."
"But …"
"Even if that Array Master recovers, there's only one Array Master. He can't fight against the two Array Masters under Gu Changqing. That's why I hope Sect Master Qin can help."
After that.
Xiao Hong shut his mouth for the moment.
As for Qin Shujian, he also fell silent.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was a little quiet.
Qin Shujian understood Xiao Hong's words a little better. However, he did not believe that the imperial court's army would stop because of two mere Array Dao Masters.
Inside.
There must be other reasons.
Xiao Hong might know these reasons, but he didn't say them out loud.
Of course.
He might not know either.
No matter which possibility it was, Qin Shujian was sure that things weren't simple.
However …
He didn't intend to reject Xiao Hong's words.
The Yuan Sect had a huge business now.
In terms of money, Qin Shujian didn't lack much.
The thing that he needed the least and needed the most was the source of life.
If he wanted to get enough source of life, he needed enough people to harvest it.
Speaking of harvesting …
There were more people than there were on the battlefield.
When the time came, he would throw the array over and the source of life would come rolling in.
Qin Shujian vaguely felt that he seemed to have returned to the beginning.
When he first came to this world, he ran around for the source of life. Now, he still had to run around for the source of life.
The Yuan Sect had many disciples.
But now, every upgrade was in the tens of millions.
If it was just based on the disciples' contributions.
It would probably take a few months to deduce one level. If he wanted to completely deduce the upgrade, the time needed might be doubled.
Not to mention …
The higher the level, the more the source of life would be needed.
When that time came …
He might not be able to advance one level in a few years or more.
However …
Although he had his own thoughts, he still had to fight for some things.
Collecting his thoughts, Qin Shujian opened his mouth to break the silence. "Marquis, you have always helped the Yuan Sect a lot. I have always kept that in mind, but I haven't had the chance to repay you.
Now that you have asked, I have no reason to refuse. "
Hearing this.
Xiao Hong also showed a smile on his face.
However, before the smile could fully appear, it froze for a moment.
"However …"
"But what? Does Grandmaster Qin have any concerns?" Xiao Hong immediately asked.
"I don't have any concerns, but I have one thing that I want to understand."
"Master Qin, please speak clearly."
"If I help, what benefits will the imperial court give me?"
"…"
Looking at Qin Shujian's serious expression, Xiao Hong was a little speechless.
