Chapter 58: How did you end up here?

  Washing away all the dirt and dust, Qin Yun's spirit and energy were restored to their peak state.

  He sat cross-legged in his meditation room, focusing his mind and quieting his breath as he opened his inner vision.

  Inner vision is the basic ability possessed by warriors after reaching the realm of refining Qi. With the consciousness of the soul, they explore their own sea of recognition, dantian, limbs and bones, five organs and six viscera, as well as meridians, blood and bones. The higher the boundary, the stronger the inner vision ability, up to the highest level can reach the subtle level.

  His mental sea has expanded a bit compared to before, and this expansion represents the growth of his divine soul consciousness, bringing countless benefits.

  The Qiankun Supplementing Heaven Stone in the Sea of Knowledge is as mysterious and beautiful as ever, but the yin-yang energy ring surrounding it seems to have undergone a surprising transformation, as if the sword intent silver dragon has been reborn.

  Dragon's eyes slightly open, cold light gleaming faintly, sharp claws and teeth more vivid than before, every sword energy more exposed, revealing the terrible power contained within.

  The millions of scales covering the dragon's body were overlaid with a faint layer of yellow down, as if evolving towards the Golden Dragon's physique.

  This is all thanks to the Huang Long Yu Jade, most of its essence was divided by the Qian Kun Bu Tian Stone and the Da Zi Zai Sword Intent, which made the Da Zi Zai Sword Intent not only recover its original appearance but also produce a whole new change.

  The greatest gain for Qin Yun from this battle was not that he had killed a renowned pre-heavenly strong expert, nor was it that he had obtained the Yellow Dragon Jade to recover his original strength and rise to another level.

  It was that one sword that made him truly understand the intent of the Tian Di Wu Ji Wei Wo Da Zi Zai Jian Fa.

  The way of the sword, preserve heavenly reason, destroy human nature!

  The true meaning of the opening chapter of Jian Dao Zhen Jie, Qin Yun used to think was Yan Chixia's nonsense, now he finally understands that "storing heaven's reason" refers to swordsmanship conforming to the ultimate principle of nature, clearly understanding the way of birth and death of all things in the cycle of day and night, only by penetrating the mysteries of nature can one achieve unity with heaven!

  The way of the supreme sword and the way of martial arts are different but ultimately return to the same origin!

  The next sentence "destroying human nature" does not mean that practicing swordsmanship should destroy human nature, but rather that when using the sword, one must discard all seven emotions and six desires, and only then can the sword technique be unleashed with its strongest power.

  But understanding is just understanding, Qin Yun's strength was still too weak, and he had only just set foot on the endless sword path.

  He is still far from thoroughly understanding and grasping the true essence of this sword path, let alone mastering the majestic and carefree intent of the sword!

  It was only through that earth-shattering sword that Qin Yun first touched the ultimate mystery of the Supreme Sword Dao, which undoubtedly had a huge impact on his future sword cultivation path.

  Leaving the Sea of Consciousness, Qin Yun looked inward at his own body.

  After two baptisms of heavenly and earthly spiritual power, his body had reached a state of near perfection, with every aspect of his skin, muscles, bones, blood vessels, and internal organs being crystal clear and free from any impurities.

  To know that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is thin, a piece of spiritual jade often contains spiritual energy accumulated over tens of millions of years. Qin Yun obtained the essence of two top-quality precious jades, and the benefits are too great to imagine.

  Although most of the benefits have been taken away by the Qiankun Supplementing Heaven Stone, without it, he would not be able to absorb the power of the Lingyu at all, and even if he could, he would be directly exploded by the vast spiritual power.

  This benefit will also be revealed bit by bit in the years to come.

  Returned to the Dan Tian of Qi Hai at last.

  Without Qin Yun's deliberate control, the true Qi in his Dantian circulated on its own, constantly exchanging air mechanisms with the acupoints that connected with his body, becoming increasingly robust and majestic.

  Refining the air from the Fourth Heaven to the Fifth Heaven boundary requires going through the ninety-nine acupoints that connect the five organs and six viscera. Qin Yun has already opened up eighty-seven of them, leaving only twelve major acupoints behind.

  His progress was so rapid that it was alarming, and it was precisely because of this that Qin Yun worried that his foundation was not solid enough, and he did not have the mind to rush up to the fifth heaven in one go.

  Of course, the marrow jade spiritual power he obtained was not wasted either. The remaining part was left in the Qihai Dantian and various acupoints for future use.

  The intense and fierce Heart Method was activated, and nine scarlet-red True Flames condensed at a speed that had never been seen before.

  Nine fires slowly flew and rotated in the air sea dan Tian, two true fires suddenly approached and quickly merged into one body, forming a new crimson true fire.

  The newly born true fire immediately showed its ferocious fangs, like a gluttonous beast ruthlessly devouring the third true fire next to it, followed by the fourth, fifth...

  In the end, the nine true fires merged into one, transforming into a cluster of fiery flames about the size of an egg!

  Nine Flames True Flame!

  This is the characteristic of reaching the sixth layer of Lianhuo Xinfa, representing that Qin Yun has cultivated this advanced heart method to the highest realm.

  Don't underestimate this Nine Fire True Flame, it can be directly released to attack the enemy, or attached to the sword body to greatly enhance the power of the sword moves and sword energy, with a powerful force that can melt gold and iron.

  Under the influence of the air machine, Qin Yun raised his arm and his hands were empty, a fierce flame suddenly appeared between his palms, emitting scorching heat that caused the temperature in the entire room to rise.

  Bang! Bang!

  Just then, a knock at the door came from outside: "Qin Yun big brother, are you there?"

  Qin Yun suddenly opened his eyes in the quiet room, and a divine light flashed in his black pupils.

  His palms suddenly merged, and the newly formed fireball was instantly shattered and extinguished. He stood up and left the quiet room.

  From the study to the living room was just a few steps away, but when Qin Yun stood in front of the door, his temperament had undergone quite a change.

  The spark in his eyes dimmed, the bulging sunken holes returned to normal, and he seemed like a sharp sword that had been sheathed again, no longer exuding an overwhelming aura.

  The door opened, and standing outside was Qin Liren.

  "Qin Yun big brother, big sister-in-law and Fang Yi sister have booked a table at Longqing Wine House to welcome you back. He said excitedly: "Let's go together!"

  "What's wrong, sister? Don't talk nonsense!" Qin Yun slapped the mouthy guy with a bad temper: "Wait for me!"

  Although they have a good impression of each other and their relationship is quite close, it's still far from being serious enough to talk about marriage, and if they're not careful, they might easily attract gossip and rumors from others.

  Qin Yun can ignore others' opinions, but being low-key is not a bad thing.

  "Oh, I see!" Qin Liren scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed.

  Back in his bedroom, Qin Yun changed into a new set of clothes.

  After some thought, he took something from his luggage hidden under the bed and left the manor with Qin Liren.

  Qin Mingzhu and Fang Yi's reserved position was on the third floor of Longqing Building, originally only direct descendants of the Qin family or those with a higher status than the hall master were qualified to bring people up, but because Fang Yi had an extraordinary status in Dan Yao Tang, she got a pretty good small pavilion.

  The third floor, whether it's the interior decoration or the atmosphere, is much more luxurious than the first and second floors. The young and beautiful maids are well-trained, making Qin Yun secretly admire the benefits that power can bring.

  According to Qin Liren, spending over a hundred taels of silver for one meal here is quite ordinary.

  Qin Mingzhu changed into a light green dress, her pretty face with a hint of powder and rouge was even more beautiful and captivating, while Fang Yi remained calm and composed, apparently this was her usual demeanor.

  The two also brought over Qin Yun's little spirit fox, Xiao Yao.

  Xiao Yao saw her master return and immediately jumped from Qin Mingzhu's arms to Qin Yun's body, causing the young girl to pout and scold a few words.

  In fact, when everyone else thought Qin Yun was dead, Qin Mingzhu still believed he was fine, which had a lot to do with Xiao Yao.

  The spiritual pets who have made a blood oath are loyal and unwavering to their masters. Once the master dies, the spiritual pet will also follow them in death.

  Since Xiao Yao was still jumping around, Qin Mingzhu naturally didn't think that Qin Yun had encountered any trouble.

  Qin Yun comforted the little fox for a while before returning it to Qin Mingzhu's arms, only then did the girl's scowl turn into a smile.

  In nearly a month of getting along with her, she truly fell in love with this clever and lovely emerald fox, and didn't know how much the other young masters in the house envied.

  Before serving the dishes, Qin Yun took out the prepared things and handed them to Fang Yi: "Thank you for the two bottles of Dan medicine you gave me, it was a great help to me, this gift is just a little token of appreciation!"

  When leaving Qianchao City earlier, Fang Yi gave Qin Yun a bottle of Pei Yuan Dan and a bottle of Hui Qi Dan. Later, the Pei Yuan Dan was given by Qin Yun to Qin Li Ren.

  Although Fang Yi was completely on Qin Mingzhu's face, this favor Qin Yun had to accept.

  Fang Yi furrowed her brow because Qin Yun handed over an ordinary box, which was usually used to store freshly picked medicinal materials.

  As a young genius of Dan Medicine Hall, she never lacked materials for refining elixirs.

  Although she had a mind to refuse, Fang Yi also didn't want to embarrass Qin Yun, so she reluctantly accepted it.

  She easily opened it with one hand, but was stunned.

  What was placed in the box wasn't the medicinal material she had thought of, but rather a dazzling silver bead!

  "How beautiful!"

  Qin Mingzhu, who was teasing a small fox nearby, couldn't help but lean over and gaze with shining eyes: "Brother Qin Yun, did you buy this from Lantian County?"

  Fang Wei was also very curious, and with her eyesight and experience, she couldn't see the origin of this silver pearl, but she intuitively felt that it wasn't an ordinary thing.

  "Not that..." Qin Yun shook his head and explained, "I unintentionally obtained this in the past. Carrying it with me can calm my mind and spirit, which is very beneficial for my usual cultivation."

  Concentrated spirit? Sounds great, Fang Yi is very clear about the value of such items, and they are so beautiful, making them into accessories to wear on the body is the most suitable.

  Although she really liked it in her heart, she felt a little uneasy about it.

  Boom!

  Fang Wei hadn't had time to speak when the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open and a lovely girl in a red dress walked in.

  "Fang Yi jie, Ming Zhu jie, you're really here!" She pouted and said in a huff: "You guys have a gathering without inviting me, I had to run all the way to Dan Yao Tang to find you!"

  "Hurry up and let me hold Xiao Yao, I haven't seen it for several days and I really miss it, you guys..."

  The girl spoke at an extremely fast pace, chattering away until it made one's head spin, but the next moment her voice stopped abruptly, and she pointed with her slender fingers, her eyes wide open.

  "What's wrong with you? How did you end up here?"
