Chapter 233-234

233. Spiritual Qi Pool

The Spiritual Qi Pool, as the name implies, is a pool made up of Spiritual Qi. However, it's not merely Spiritual Qi within this pool but Spiritual Essence! That is to say, Spiritual Qi is continuously compressed, finally becoming a liquid, bound within the Spiritual Qi Pool. This involves not merely a simple array, but also some treasures containing rich Spiritual Qi. In short, this Spiritual Qi Pool is precious to the Ancient Origin Sect. It is one of the Sect's important locations.

The Ancient Origin Sect expended considerable effort to construct this Spiritual Qi Pool. The fundamental goal was to assist the Martial Saints within the sect to successfully condense the Qi Flower.

When Lin Fei arrived outside the Spiritual Qi Pool, there were not many people there. After all, the Spiritual Qi Pool was for condensing the Qi Flower. How many Martial Saints within the whole Ancient Origin Sect are qualified to condense a Qi Flower?

However, to maintain the consumption of the Spiritual Qi Pool, it was also open to inner disciples and true disciples. The reason is simple. These inner disciples and true disciples, either innate or martial saints, have certain requirements for Spiritual Qi, and though not as great as those Qi cultivators, there is still a demand.

The wealthier ones could spend contribution points to cultivate within the Spiritual Qi Pool. Cultivating here, the results would be twice as effective with half the effort. But it's expensive! One day requires a thousand contribution points. Therefore, the martial artists who can come to the Spiritual Qi Pool all seize every minute to cultivate.

"Swoosh."

Lin Fei arrived outside the Spiritual Qi Pool. Many disciples saw Lin Fei and also recognized him. After all, Lin Fei was not an unknown person in the Ancient Origin Sect now. He was the one who defeated Ao Yunxiao under everyone's watch, He was a prominent figure in the Ancient Origin Sect. Moreover, Lin Fei was a "Dao Seeker." Therefore, when he arrived, all eyes were focused on him.

"Isn't that Elder Lin, the 'Dao Seeker'?"

"Elder Lin has actually come to the Spiritual Qi Pool."

"He's only in the early stage of Martial Saint, having just arrived at the Ancient Origin Sect about half a year ago, does he already need the aid of the Spiritual Qi Pool for cultivation?"

"Elder Lin has an extraordinary understanding of saber momentum. However, he doesn't seem to have anything particularly outstanding in physical cultivation and True Essence. Therefore, spending contribution points to come to the Spiritual Qi Pool to assist with True Essence cultivation seems normal."

Many people knew about Lin Fei's past. They knew Lin Fei was a "Dao Seeker". He had joined the Ancient Origin Sect for only half a year. And he was merely in the early stage of Martial Saint.

How much could he improve in half a year? They didn't think much about it. Instead, they assumed that Lin Fei was here to cultivate using the Spiritual Qi Pool. After all, cultivating in the Spiritual Qi Pool gives one twice the result with half the effort, and it's much more efficient.

Lin Fei did not pay attention to the discussions of others. He walked straight into the Spiritual Qi Pool. There was more than one Spiritual Qi Pool. There were nine.

There is a difference among these nine Spiritual Qi Pools. There is one located in the best spot. Its Spiritual Essence is the densest. But regular disciples can't go in and even ordinary Martial Saints can't go in. Even if they spend contribution points, they can't go in. Because this Spiritual Qi Pool is for those Martial Saints who are condensing the Qi Flower and it doesn't cost any contribution points. But once one enters the Spiritual Qi Pool, he must try to condense the Qi Flower.

This rule deters most people. And no one would try to exploit loopholes. After all, once one enters this Spiritual Qi Pool, he must condense the Qi Flower. If he doesn't attempt to condense, he will be severely punished!

There was no one in this Spiritual Qi Pool at the moment. After all, in the whole Ancient Origin Sect, there are very few instances of two people attempting to condense the Qi Flower at the same time. Most of the time, this Spiritual Qi Pool is empty. Now was the same.

However, when Lin Fei headed straight for that one Spiritual Qi Pool, the elder who was guarding the Spiritual Qi Pool had already blocked Lin Fei's path.

"The Spiritual Qi Pool, one thousand contribution points for one day's use."

The Martial Saint Elder spoke calmly.

"Do I also need to spend contribution points to use that highest Spiritual Qi Pool?"

Lin Fei asked.

"Hm?"

The elder raised an eyebrow. He examined Lin Fei carefully from head to toe. Seemingly, he realized something.

"You are the 'Dao Seeker' Lin Fei, I recognize you. You defeated Ao Yunxiao, and your understanding of saber momentum is indeed strong. But you've only been in the Ancient Origin Sect for half a year. Even if you've been cultivating True Essence all this time, how far could your cultivation have progressed? If you forcefully try to condense the Qi Flower and fail, it could even damage your foundation, making it impossible for you to condense it in the future."

The Martial Saint Elder was also reminding Lin Fei. Going to that Spiritual Qi Pool, one must condense the Qi Flower.

"Please open the Spiritual Qi Pool for me, elder."

Lin Fei's tone was still calm. But it was filled with unwavering determination. The elder didn't try to persuade him any further. After all, whether or not to condense the Qi Flower was Lin Fei's own choice.

So Lin Fei passed the elder directly. He entered the highest-located Spiritual Qi Pool.

The disciples around who were originally cultivating hard all opened their eyes one by one, looking at Lin Fei in surprise.

"That... That is the Spiritual Qi Pool for breakthroughs, Elder Lin is going there, is he trying to condense the Qi Flower?"

"So Elder Lin didn't come to cultivate with the help of the Spiritual Qi Pool, but to try to condense the Qi Flower. But, he just joined the Ancient Origin Sect half a year ago, can he condense the Qi Flower?"

"Even if Elder Lin's talent is high. How much True Essence can he cultivate in half a year? If he fails to condense the Qi Flower, it will damage his foundation."

"Elder Lin is too impatient. Energy Flower, Qi Flower, Spirit Flower. Among these three flowers, the Spirit Flower is the hardest. But Elder Lin has already transcended in saber momentum, he has a great chance to condense the Spirit Flower first. When the time comes, wouldn't it be better to slowly condense the Essence Flower and Qi Flower, with the guarantee of successful condensation? He's being too rash."

Many disciples were somewhat puzzled. Lin Fei was trying to condense the Qi Flower so early. This is very hard to succeed. Did Lin Fei think that condensing the Qi Flower was easy? Or was Lin Fei too confident? Almost everyone was surprised and puzzled by Lin Fei's choice to condense the Qi Flower now. They even felt it was a pity.

But Lin Fei didn't hesitate at all. His expression was still calm. Step by step, he came to the front of this Spiritual Qi Pool.

Lin Fei looked down. Inside the Spiritual Qi Pool, the green Spiritual Essence filled the whole pool. Moreover, around the Spiritual Qi Pool, there were at least dozens of array formations densely packed, keeping the Spiritual Essence fixed within the pool.

These array formations were set up by the Foundation Establishment True Persons who were invited. Presumably, the Ancient Origin Sect also paid a heavy price. Only with these dense array formations could they firmly fix that Spiritual Essence inside the Spiritual Qi Pool.

Lin Fei took a deep breath. Then, without hesitation, he jumped directly into the Spiritual Qi Pool. With a "plop", Lin Fei had already fallen into the Spiritual Qi Pool. Suddenly, a large amount of Spiritual Essence surrounded him. They desperately tried to drill into Lin Fei's body.

If one cultivates here, the efficiency would increase at least tenfold, or even higher! No wonder so many innate martial artists or Martial Saints were willing to spend a thousand or even several thousand contribution points. However, Lin Fei did not come to the Spiritual Qi Pool to cultivate. He was preparing to condense the Qi Flower.

Lin Fei closed his eyes. He slowly adjusted his state. He could sense numerous gazes around him were focused on him, but Lin Fei didn't care. He slowly calmed his mind. His thoughts gradually calmed down as well.

It's not known how long it had been.

"Whoosh".

Lin Fei opened his eyes. His eyes were as calm as an ancient well. Clearly, he had completely adjusted his mood. Moreover, having soaked in such precious Spiritual Essence for such a long time, his body was also almost adjusted to its best condition!

"Let's start."

Lin Fei took a deep breath, no longer suppressing the True Essence in his body.

"Boom".

The next moment, Lin Fei's True Essence exploded from within his body. A terrifying aura emanated from him, instantly enveloping the entire Spiritual Qi Pool.

234. Limit Martial Saint

Lin Fei sat cross-legged in the Spiritual Qi Pool in a calm manner. A large amount of Spiritual Essence was frantically trying to drill into Lin Fei's body.

Lin Fei's True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique was operating. Terrifying saber essence emanated. Its power instantly covered the entire Spiritual Qi Pool.

Suddenly, everyone in the Spiritual Qi Pool, whether they were disciples or elders, even the top-tier Martial Saints, all felt a terrifying pressure. This wasn't the pressure of saber momentum. It was completely different from saber momentum. It was purely the pressure of True Essence. Or to put it another way, it was the pressure of Lin Fei's saber essence!

Just this pressure alone made many disciples in the Spiritual Qi Pool feel as if they were unable to breathe.

"This aura... has the cultivation technique reached perfection?"

"Such terrifying True Essence, there can be no mistake. Elder Lin must have perfected a technique for cultivating True Essence. Otherwise, it's impossible to have such a terrifying pressure of True Essence."

"How long has Elder Lin been in the Ancient Origin Sect? It's only about half a year at most. How could he have perfected a cultivation technique?"

"Incredible, it's truly incredible! I originally thought Elder Lin was just talented in saber momentum, a natural Saber Saint. I didn't expect that in the cultivation of True Essence, Elder Lin is also a top-tier genius."

"Could Elder Lin really be able to condense the Qi Flower?"

Many disciples were uncertain. Their hearts were filled with shock. They had cultivated for decades, even a hundred years. and they might not be able to reach the point of condensing the Qi Flower.

But what about Lin Fei? It was just a mere half a year. The elders of the Spiritual Qi Pool also immediately changed their expressions.

"All of you leave the Spiritual Qi Pool immediately and go outside. Otherwise, under such great pressure, you won't be able to cultivate. As for the contribution points you've paid, you can continue to cultivate in the Spiritual Qi Pool after Elder Lin finishes condensing the Qi Flower."

Actually, without the elder's words, many disciples also got up and left the Spiritual Qi Pool. Under these circumstances, they simply couldn't cultivate at all. Continuing to stay in the Spiritual Qi Pool was just a waste of time. So, the disciples inside the Spiritual Qi Pool all left the Spiritual Qi Pool one after another and came outside.

However, from the outside, they could still see the situation inside the Spiritual Qi Pool. Almost all the disciples did not leave. The elders didn't stop them either. As long as they weren't noisy and didn't affect Lin Fei's condensation of the Qi Flower. After all, being able to witness a Martial Saint condensing a Qi Flower with their own eyes and seeing the whole process would be of some help to them when they tried to condense a Qi Flower in the future.

Even, some disciples started to send messages to each other. They notified their friends one after another.

"Get to the Spiritual Qi Pool quickly. Outer Sect Elder Lin Fei is about to condense the Qi Flower."

"It's absolutely true, hurry up."

"'Dao Seeker' Elder Lin, is trying to condense the Qi Flower half a year after defeating Ao Yunxiao. It would be a pity to miss this opportunity."

Inside the Ancient Origin Sect. the distance is very close and there are array methods that are interconnected. Therefore, they can communicate with each other.

For a time, many disciples came to the Spiritual Qi Pool. Innate martial artists, Martial Saints, and so on. Even some of the top-tier Martial Saints also came to the Spiritual Qi Pool upon hearing the news.

After all, compared to the ordinary disciples who came to watch the excitement, these top-tier Martial Saints were the most qualified to condense the Qi Flower.

The number of people outside was increasing. But Lin Fei in the Spiritual Qi Pool was not disturbed at all. He didn't pay attention to the situation around him. His entire attention was on himself. Especially the saber essence within his body.

The True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique kept operating. Because he had devoured a Martial Saint-level technique. Therefore, Lin Fei naturally knew how to condense the Qi Flower. A large amount of saber essence was surging and spouting out of his body. At the same time, Spiritual Essence drilled into his body, trying to transform into saber essence.

However, it was of no use. The saber essence in Lin Fei's body had already reached its limit. The greater use of this Spiritual Essence was to help Lin Fei compensate for some of the losses caused by condensing the Qi Flower. The saber essence within Lin Fei's body had completely emanated from his body and gradually started to condense above his head.

"Let's begin."

Lin Fei took a deep breath. He immediately took over control of the True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique. According to the True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique, he activated the method to condense the Qi Flower.

"Boom".

Immediately, the vast saber essence around Lin Fei actually started to expand frantically, continuing to expand. Finally, it exploded with a loud bang. With the explosion of the saber essence, terrifying power was shaking.

However, at the same time, the countless exploding saber essence above Lin Fei's head faintly condensed into a flower.

Qi Flower!

Lin Fei very smoothly condensed the Qi Flower! It was as easy as eating and drinking. Too easy!

Lin Fei even thought about the possible troubles he might encounter. But he didn't encounter any of them. The phrase "when water flows, a channel is formed" couldn't help but emerge in Lin Fei's mind.

Yes, Lin Fei now felt, condensing the Qi Flower was like water flowing into a channel.

In fact, Lin Fei felt that even if he didn't do it in the Spiritual Qi Pool, he could still condense the Qi Flower.

Too easy! But is condensing the Qi Flower really that easy? Just look at the stunned disciples outside with shocked expressions. Some top-tier Martial Saints had tried to condense the Qi Flower. Unfortunately, they failed. It took them many years to slowly recover. Therefore, they knew very well how difficult it was to condense the Qi Flower. But now they saw Lin Fei actually did it in one go. The whole process was too smooth.

There were no twists and turns, even more, there were no earth-shaking moments. Just like nature, everything falls into place. The Martial Saints who understood the significance of this couldn't help but feel a tremor in their hearts!

"This is the real meaning of 'when water flows, a channel is formed'! When the True Essence reaches a certain level of profoundness, the condensation of Qi Flower is as natural as water flowing into a channel, without any difficulty. I didn't believe it before, but now seeing Elder Lin condensing the Qi Flower, I believe it..."

"So, it can be so easy to condense a Qi Flower."

"Easy? Even if one practices the technique to perfection, it's not necessarily easy to condense a Qi Flower. It can only be said that the technique Elder Lin has practiced must be sophisticated. Moreover, the level of True Essence in Elder Lin's body is unimaginable, far surpassing other top Martial Saints."

"Does this mean that our Ancient Origin Sect has given birth to another Limit Martial Saint? And he is an outer sect elder?"

"Worthy of being a 'Dao Seeker', not only is his combat power amazing, but even in terms of cultivation, his talent is not inferior to any true disciple."

"Elder Lin is now ranked as a Martial Sovereign seed, and his potential is even greater than other Martial Sovereign seeds..."

Many disciples had serious expressions. A hint of excitement flashed in their eyes. When water flows, a channel is formed! Although it was difficult, Lin Fei had proven it. When the True Essence reaches a certain level of profoundness, one can truly naturally condense a Qi Flower.

There is no need to rely on luck. Otherwise, if the True Essence is not profound enough, forcing oneself to condense a Qi Flower can only rely on luck! And even if one condenses a Qi Flower, there is still a difference.

Like Lin Fei, with such a profound level of True Essence, once a Qi Flower is condensed, True Essence will surge. Even among Limit Martial Saints, the level of True Essence might vary greatly.

What's more important is that condensing a Qi Flower is not the end. On the contrary, it's just the beginning. To become a Martial Sovereign, one must unite the three flowers. If the Qi Flower is strong enough, obviously, the chance of becoming a Martial Sovereign can greatly increase.

At this moment, the Qi Flower appeared above Lin Fei's head. At the same time, the True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique within Lin Fei's body began to crazily absorb the spiritual essence. A large amount of spiritual essence was absorbed into his body, quickly transforming into saber essence.

One time, three times, five times, ten times...

In just a moment, the amount of saber essence in Lin Fei's body surged and increased by more than ten times in an instant. Such a terrifying increase, no wonder Limit Martial Saints are powerful on a different level. It's a world apart from ordinary Martial Saints.

"Splash."

Lin Fei stood up directly from the Spiritual Qi Pool.

"Boom."

The Qi Flower above Lin Fei's head emerged again. Moreover, the shadow of the Qi Flower immediately reflected in the sky above the Spiritual Qi Pool, forming a huge flower. Grand and impressive, like a huge cloud.

All the martial artists under the coverage of the Qi Flower. Whether they were innate martial artists or Martial Saints, everyone felt that the True Qi, the True Essence in their bodies seemed to be under great pressure. This Qi Flower actually had a similar ability to suppress opponents like martial momentum. It just targeted True Essence and True Qi.

At this moment, no one doubted anymore. Lin Fei had condensed the Qi Flower. He truly reached the pinnacle of Martial Saints, becoming a Limit Martial Saint!
