Chapter 444 - 443: 1 Year
"Qin Ya? The Elder is Qin Ya?"
"Which Qin Ya? It can't be that madman Law Enforcer who slaughtered over a dozen Blood Nether Association strongholds, right? That's one hell of a joke."
"No way, no way. How could he possibly be an Elder?"
Everyone was abuzz with discussion. Not long after, a piece of news spread: Law Enforcer Qin Ya had successfully refined a Spirit Pill, his Alchemy Dao reaching the Peak Realm, and was thus appointed as a Law Enforcement Elder!
A Spirit Pill? Qin Ya refined a Spirit Pill?
What the hell? This has to be a joke.
'To think a Law Enforcer possessed such a high level in the Alchemy Dao.'
When the news spread, the entire Kunyun Palace was in an uproar.
Luox Xinyu, Leng Qiushan, Ling Zhan, Muh Qing, and the others were all shaken to their core and utterly shocked. Their figures immediately shot through the air, heading directly for the Central Thirty-Six Peaks.
On the Thirty-Six Peaks, Qin Ya looked at Luox Xinyu and the others before him and said, "Well, this is strange. What wind blew all of you to my humble abode today?"
The group was at a loss for words. Luox Xinyu said, "Brother Qin, do you have any idea what a huge commotion you've caused? The entire Kunyun Palace is buzzing about you right now."
"Basically, you're famous now."
Ling Zhan said, "Heh, Brother Qin, you really became an Elder."
Qin Ya nodded. "That's right."
"Holy shit."
"Damn it, that's just monstrous."
"Something unprecedented in the thousands of years of Kunyun Palace's history has happened."
"This event will definitely leave a memorable mark on Kunyun's history."
Hearing Qin Ya admit it himself, Leng Qiushan and the others all gasped.
Muh Qing also had a sudden realization and said, "No wonder you have so many Elixirs on you, Brother Qin, and every single one is top-grade. It turns out you're a Pill King yourself."
"Damn, having extraordinary talent in Martial Arts and King-level combat power in the Celestial Human Realm was already enough to make people jealous. But on top of that, he also has the skills of a Pill King in the Alchemy Dao."
"How is anyone else supposed to live?"
At that moment, Ling Zhan's eyes darted around. He clutched his chest and said, "Brother Qin, I was injured while training recently. I need a Spirit Pill to..."
Before he could finish, Leng Qiushan's brows furrowed. He waved his hand indifferently, and an immense wave of Palm Qi erupted from his palm, blasting Ling Zhan dozens of yards away.
"Pathetic."
Ling Zhan rubbed his chest and said, "Peak Master, you're too ruthless."
Seeing this, the others couldn't help but chuckle.
After exchanging pleasantries with the group, Qin Ya continued his Cultivation on the Thirty-Six Peaks. Although Ming Yue had granted him an Elder Peak, he didn't move there to cultivate.
In the following days, Elders would come to visit from time to time.
After all, an Elder as young as Qin Ya had a boundless future.
After more than ten days, the commotion finally started to die down.
"Here, Brother, have some wine."
Jing'er held the wine pot and poured a cup for Qin Ya, her brow slightly furrowed in confusion. She didn't understand why her brother liked to drink this spicy-tasting water.
Once, when her brother wasn't looking, she had stolen a small sip. It made her choke until tears streamed down her face. Afterward, she felt so dizzy that she ended up sleeping for an entire day.
Qin Ya stroked Jing'er's hair and smiled faintly. "Jing'er, Brother is going into secluded cultivation for a few days. You have to study diligently and train hard on your own, understand?"
"Oh," Jing'er said obediently.
The main purpose of this seclusion was to enhance the strength of his Divine Thought. Qin Ya used over a million jin of Primordial Stones to construct a massive Quenching God Array and began his secluded cultivation.
Inside the Array, Qin Ya took out a thumb-sized Golden Core.
As he took out the Golden Core, waves of Pill Fragrance filled the surrounding air.
The Pill Qi entered his body, causing his Divine Acupoint to tremble. His Divine Thought gradually grew excited. Qin Ya smiled faintly and then consumed the Refining God Pill.
As the Elixir's effects began to take hold, his Divine Thought suddenly trembled. An intense pain instantly swept through his mind, as if he were being stabbed by millions of needles.
At that moment, the Quenching God Array activated. Streams of Primordial Qi began to stimulate his Divine Thought in a specific pattern. In an instant, the pain increased tenfold, even a hundredfold.
Qin Ya clenched his jaw tightly, fine beads of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. The intense agony made his entire body tremble, and he couldn't help but let out a low roar.
Refining his spirit, quenching his spirit...
The combination of the two subjected Qin Ya's Divine Thought to a pain unimaginable to ordinary people. It was like a piece of fine steel being forged into a peerless sword, which must endure being hammered and polished thousands of times. Qin Ya was currently in that hammering and tempering phase.
Time passed. Ten days went by.
By now, his pain was not as intense as before. His Divine Acupoint had expanded several times over. The improvement in the strength of his Divine Thought, in particular, was far beyond imagination.
Originally, his Divine Thought was merely in a state of white mist. But with the dual assistance of the Refining God Pill and the Quenching God Array, it became far more condensed. Within the white mist, droplets of dew had begun to float. His Divine Thought was actually beginning to transform into a liquid state.
The gradual liquefaction of Divine Thought was a sign of transitioning toward the King realm.
In other words, although Qin Ya's Cultivation was only at the Celestial Human realm, his Divine Thought could already be compared to that of an ordinary King. This was a shocking revelation.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.
More than half of the white mist had now turned into dewdrops. Some of the dewdrops had even begun to merge, showing signs of transforming into a flowing river, a vast ocean.
Time continued to flow, and in a flash, another half-month went by. On this day, a tide of Divine Thought suddenly surged forth, instantly sweeping across the entire Thirty-Six Peaks.
Linx Xiaoyun, who was sipping some wine, narrowed his eyes. A sharp glint flashed in their depths as he murmured, "This level of Divine Thought... it's comparable to a King's..."
PUFF, PUFF...
Countless Primordial Stones lost their luster and turned to dust, vanishing without a trace on the wind. Having completely absorbed the Medicinal Power, Qin Ya slowly opened his eyes.
SWOOSH. Linx Xiaoyun's figure appeared before Qin Ya in an instant.
"Ha, congratulations on your breakthrough, Young Friend Qin."
Qin Ya smiled faintly but said nothing. With this breakthrough in his Divine Thought, he could now truly comprehend the Mysterious Technique of the Godslaying Technique. Moreover, it would also be a great help in comprehending other Mysterious Insights.
In the days that followed, Qin Ya remained on the Thirty-Six Peaks.
Comprehending the Mysterious, studying the Godslaying Technique, teaching Jing'er...
The days and months flew by in a flash.
In this way, more than a year passed.
On the Thirty-Six Peaks, beneath a flourishing, flowering tree, a young girl held a longsword. Its edge was sharp, its movements unpredictable. At times it was as swift as the wind, at others as aggressive as fire; sometimes as steady as a mountain, other times as dense as a torrential downpour... She executed all these variations with ease, displaying an extremely high level of cultivation in the Sword Dao, as if she were born to live for the sword.
Not far from the young girl, two figures were seated cross-legged.
One was dressed in white robes, with a fair and handsome face.
The other wore a gray robe and appeared to be around thirty or forty years old, with sharp, chiseled features.
They appeared calm, but a solemn tension permeated the air. Streams of Divine Thought raged and crisscrossed, as if two masters of Martial Arts were exchanging blows.
With a sudden RUMBLE, the white-robed youth's body trembled slightly. A strong gust of wind burst from him, sweeping through the flowers and grass behind him. In an instant, petals were sent flying, filling the sky.
Seeing this, the sword-dancing girl let out a soft cry. Her figure shifted, her longsword dancing to create countless Sword Shadows, splitting the innumerable flying petals in two.
