Qin Lingyun sat on a stone chest, her right hand grasping a white jade bottle that Murong Henhai had specially used to hold elixirs. Only refined elixirs could be stored in this special white jade bottle, and the mouth of the bottle must be sealed with a restrictive seal to prevent the medicine from dispersing easily.

  A small pellet of light yellow fluorescent color was poured out, Qin Lingyun no longer hesitated and put it in her mouth.

  A sweet fragrance wafted in her mouth, making her feel extremely comfortable all over, the Qi-enhancing pill dissolved as soon as it entered her mouth, transforming into a mighty spiritual energy flowing through her body. Qin Lingyun flipped her right hand, and the white jade bottle was put away in her storage bag. Her hands followed the finger seals, and she began to close her eyes and absorb the spiritual energy produced by the Qi-enhancing pill.

  A thread of breath, like a snake, concentrated in the dantian, gradually gathering into a pale blue spiritual energy ball. When the spiritual energy transformed from the medicinal power of the dan pill was all concentrated at the dantian position, Qin Lingyun began to guide it along the fourth layer of the refining qi meridian line.

  In the sealed room, the fluorescent stone on top emitted a faint glow. Qin Lingyun absorbed the medicinal power this time, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed. During these five days, Qin Lingyun used her spiritual energy to blast through the meridian blockages while also keeping a vigilant eye on the green-haired zombies outside.

  Fortunately, in the five-day period, the green-haired zombie seemed to have forgotten her and did not come out.

  Qin Lingyun was able to smoothly absorb the medicinal power, shocking her meridians. When she opened her eyes, she felt that her spiritual energy had increased significantly, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

  "One Qi-Enhancing Pill is already quite effective, and I still have thirty-five more. It shouldnt be a problem to advance to the fourth layer of Qi Refining."

  Fortunately, Qin Lingyun had already closed her grain, so even if she didnt eat anything, it wouldnt be a problem for several months. She could cultivate in the secret room with peace of mind and not worry about other things.

  A months time passed quickly, and on this day, at night, Qin Lingyun sat cross-legged on the stone box, her whole body surrounded by a layer of pale blue light, she finally broke through the fourth layer of the Refining Qi period.

  She breathed slowly, Qin Lingyun slightly opened her mouth, and a pale blue breath spurted out. At this time, although Qin Lingyun closed her eyes, it seemed that the meridians, bones, etc. inside her body were clearly presented in front of her eyes.

  This is a state of inner vision that can see everything inside the body, and it is also a precursor to the externalization of the spirit and the departure of the original spirit.

  Qin Lingyuns expression changed, and her spirit naturally rose infinitely, higher and higher. Suddenly, she found herself floating in mid-air, with her physical body below, eyes closed as if lifeless. Her own spiritual essence was only the size of a palm, and it had become semi-transparent, shrouded in a layer of pale blue light. If someone saw her from outside, they could only see a faint blue light ball, just like when Qin Lingyun first saw Murong Henhais spiritual essence - all she saw was a faint purple light ball back then.

  "It turns out that this is the escape of the yuan god, but the yuan god is very fragile. If it is attacked by someone, it will easily disperse. Even if no one attacks, being exposed outside like this and being squeezed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth also poses a risk of destruction."

  Qin Lingyun pondered in secret, then hastily urged her primordial spirit to descend from the top of her head. After her primordial spirit returned to her physical body, she felt that her auditory and visual senses, as well as the other six senses of her physical body, had all been restored. She pinched a hand seal, causing her spiritual energy to return to her dantian. Immediately afterwards, the pale blue glow surrounding her body shrank back into her body. Only then did she step down from the stone coffin.

  "Its already been four layers of refining Qi, after subduing the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast, I can finally leave this place that hasnt seen daylight."

  Qin Lings eyes sparkled with joy as she pulled out a pure black spirit beast bag from her bosom, her divine sense probing inside. The spirit beast bag had one hundred compartments, each compartment equivalent to a small room that could hold a single spirit beast.

  "What is it?" Qin Lingyuns slender eyebrows slightly raised.

  Murong Hen Hai used to have some spiritual beasts, but during the escape, except for the blood-sucking lion beast, all of them died in battle, so there should only be a blood-sucking lion beast in the spiritual beast bag.

  At this time, the spirit beast bag no longer had the blood-sucking lion beast, but only an oval-shaped, egg-like pale purple cocoon.

  This cocoon was beating regularly like a heart, making Qin Lingyun feel very surprised.

  With a movement of her mind, the pale purple cocoon left the spirit beast pouch and floated in mid-air. Qin Lingyun stretched out her white hand and gently supported it in her palm.

  "Could this cocoon be the Vampire Lion Beast? How could such a transformation occur?"

  Qin Lingyun gazed at the cocoon, and a sense of familiarity welled up in her heart, but she couldnt quite recall where it came from. However, she could feel an unusual energy emanating from the pale purple cocoon, and this energy seemed to be connected to her soul by an invisible thread.

  "Its definitely undergone some kind of special mutation, the energy inside this cocoon is distorting and expanding, I can clearly feel it, in about three days, something will emerge from it!"

  Qin Lingyun didnt know where this feeling came from, but somehow she possessed it.

  Whether this feeling is true or false, three days are not long, Qin Lingyun cant find the blood-sucking lion beast, waiting for three days is nothing, and she can also take the opportunity to go outside the main tomb chamber to retrieve the Qingling Sword.

  Qin Lingyun did not put the blood-sucking lion beast back into the spirit beast bag, but instead placed it on top of a stone coffin. She paced lightly in the secret room, thinking about whether to go out and retrieve the Qingling Sword.

  The treasures in his storage bag, except for the low-grade spiritual instrument Qingling Sword that was thrown outside, only had the low-grade treasure instrument Hu Die Ling. However, the grade of Hu Die Ling was too high, and Qin Lingyun could only use it as a solid shield occasionally. To refine the treasure and bring out its true power, his cultivation was still far from sufficient.

  So if you want to refine the magic treasure, you can only take back the Qingling Sword.

  "Its better not to take risks for the next three days, in case the green-haired zombie isnt returning to its coffin but is instead lying in wait outside, and attacks me as soon as I go out."

  Qin Lingyun did not venture out after all, and her caution was indeed correct. At this moment, outside, there were not only green-haired zombies lurking, but also the other two zombies in the coffin, who had not absorbed the essence of a living person for a long time. If they could absorb Qin Lingyuns essence, their magical powers would surely make great progress.

  Therefore, the three zombies set up an ambush together, gathered all their corpse energy, and made it impossible for ordinary cultivators to detect them. They hid quietly on one side, waiting silently for the opportunity.

  Qin Lingyun still didnt know that she had narrowly escaped disaster due to her cautious nature.

  For three days, Qin Lingyun was cultivating and consolidating her Lianqi Fourth Layer attainments, as well as familiarizing herself with the ability to release her divine sense externally.

  At present, her divine sense can only extend to the distance of the entire secret room. Within the range covered by her divine sense, even with her eyes closed, she could clearly perceive different objects, which was a very magical experience. Although Qin Lingyun had experienced it when sensing the storage bag, after really releasing her divine sense, there was still some astonishment in her heart.

  "After the divine consciousness was released, it turned out to have such a strong sense of response. The human body has too many secrets, and I dont know what the end of the secret is." Qin Lingyun sighed in her heart.

  At this time, the light purple cocoon that had been placed on top of the stone box began to emit a circle of eerie, pale purple halos outward.

  Qin Lingyuns mind flashed with insight: "I think Ive figured it out, the halo on this cocoon and the scattered light it emits are exactly the same as the pale purple color in my blood, this is probably not a coincidence."

  The halo grew deeper, illuminating the entire secret chamber in a pale purple hue. Qin Lingyun retreated several steps back, gazing from afar at the eerie transformation of the pale purple cocoon. At this moment, the purple cocoon began to rapidly expand.

  Before long, the purple cocoon grew to be about the same height as Qin Lingyun. Suddenly, a loud "Boom..." was heard, and the cocoon burst open, revealing a gigantic monster inside!

  This monster is about half the height of a person, with pure white long hair draped on its body like satin. Its body length is about three meters, with a dog-like head and a lion-like body. Two bronze bell-like eyes flash with strange purple light, and a pair of pale purple wings are folded on its back. Standing on four legs, it looks majestic and awe-inspiring.

  What was most terrifying was that two long fangs protruded from the monsters mouth, sharp and gleaming with a cold light.

  Qin Lingyuns eyes were filled with uncertainty: "Is this a Bloodthirsty Lion Beast? Its strength is at least mid-first-class."

  The strength division of spiritual beasts or demon beasts is different from that of humans, ranging from first rank to fifth rank, corresponding to the Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Core Formation, Nascent Soul and Spirit Severing stages of human cultivators. Each rank is further divided into three grades: lower, middle and upper. As for whether there are sixth rank or higher demon beasts, the "Cultivation Secret Records" do not record it, and Qin Lingyu cannot figure it out either.

  Judging from the current momentum of the bloodthirsty lion, its strength is at least one level higher than the top grade, equivalent to the strength after several periods of refining qi. As for what specific abilities it has, only actual combat can reveal that. According to Mu Rong Hen Hais memory, this bloodthirsty lion was only caught because he felt curious about it, and in reality, its rank is the lowest level of a demon beast, with only one lower grade.

  "Has he actually advanced? Is the control contract that Murong Henhai set up still effective? If Im not controlled and attack him, what should I do?" Qin Lingyuns face was covered in frost, she had never thought that such a situation would arise.

  The bloodthirsty lion-like beast shook off the long hair on its body, and with a swift leap, it pounced towards Qin Lingyun. Its rapid speed turned into a fleeting shadow in her eyes, leaving Qin Lingyun no time to react before the beast had already arrived by her side. The two sharp fangs in its mouth became deadly killing tools in her eyes.

  Qin Lingyun barely had time to flash a wry smile.

  But what happened next was unexpected. The blood-sucking lion beast not only did not attack her, but also squatted down beside her, sticking out its tongue to lick the air in a flattering manner.

  Feeling the seal within the Vampire Lions body, Qin Lingyun thought for a moment and realized that she had been wrong about one thing. Since she had swallowed Murong Henhais primordial spirit, the contract between Murong Henhai and the Vampire Lion had already been transferred to her own primordial spirit. Even though her cultivation was not yet at the fourth layer of Refining Qi, it was only natural that she was now the master of this Vampire Lion.

  If it werent for the fact that the bloodthirsty lion beast fell asleep, Qin Lingyun wouldnt have felt the power of the seal contract and the subsequent misunderstanding wouldnt have occurred.
