I awakened my god-tier passive skill early on and took off instantly

Cultivating techniques requires utmost concentration and is easily disrupted. Lu Xin worried that the mountain where his cave was located might be blasted apart by the aftermath of a battle between passing cultivators.

Therefore, he carved out a space underground and set up various formations before he felt safe enough to begin his cultivation.

The mana in his dantian currently comes from absorbing and converting the spiritual energy between heaven and earth directly through 【Breathing】, without passing through a spiritual root, so it has no attribute.

It is always neutral and peaceful, without the danger of Qi deviation, but relatively speaking, its power is weaker than attributed mana.

《True Yang Subduing Evil and Slaying Demons》is a fire and wood attribute technique. Among the five elements, fire belongs to the sun, and wood belongs to the lesser sun. Fire and wood together are true yang.

Although Lu Xin's spiritual root quality is low, he has all five elements and is not lacking in fire and wood, so the first step in his cultivation is to convert the attribute-less mana in his dantian into True Yang Qi.

Inside the underground space, Lu Xin sat cross-legged and began to circulate his mana according to the 《True Yang Subduing Evil and Slaying Demons》 technique.

After a moment, a wisp of crimson red suddenly appeared in the pure white sea of mana in his dantian.

"This is True Yang Qi?"

Lu Xin suddenly pointed, and a strand of blazing mana shot out, instantly piercing through the protective formation he had set up and heading towards the rocks outside.

Lu Xin quickly got up to check and saw that a very long, thin hole had been pierced through the underground rocks. Then, he used his divine sense to probe it and found that the thin hole was about a mile long.

"Hiss!"

Lu Xin instantly gasped. He didn't expect the power of the mana refined by the 《True Yang Subduing Evil and Slaying Demons》 to be so powerful.

And this was just pure mana.

"I must cultivate!"

Lu Xin immediately had no more hesitation and quickly continued to convert his mana.

This conversion took more than a month in the blink of an eye.

During this time.

Lu Xin not only became a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, but also converted all the mana in his dantian into True Yang Qi.

Now his panel has also undergone tremendous changes as a result.

【Host: Lu Xin】

【Lifespan: 34 / 470】

【Realm: Mid-stage Golden Core (0 / 400000)】

【Technique: True Yang Subduing Evil and Slaying Demons】

【Convertible Mana: 11 (continuously increasing)】

【Passive Skill: Breathing…】

The panel is still simple, but this time the realm has been subdivided, which should be a change brought about by his cultivation technique.

In addition, a column of convertible mana has been added.

This should be the mana autonomously generated by the 【Breathing】 passive and stored in the dantian. He will have an extra conversion step in the future.

"Not bad."

Lu Xin was basically satisfied and stood up. Now that the technique has been cultivated, he will prepare to refine the magic weapon True Yang Divine Sword next.

He listed the materials that Li Youlan mentioned one by one.

After looking at them, he found that some materials, such as Fire Essence Profound Iron, etc., he had already collected in the secret realm, but the amount was a little small and he needed to find more.

In addition, some auxiliary materials are relatively ordinary and should not be difficult to find.

Only this True Yang Profound Fiend is very rare, belonging to the same level as Youlan Ice Flame on the list of rare treasures of heaven and earth, although its ranking is not as high as the latter.

But it is not something that can be found just by looking for it.

"It seems that I have to find a large place to inquire about news again."

Lu Xin pondered for a while and took out a pile of maps, which were also his spoils from this trip to the secret realm.

Inside, there were not only maps recording the Yan Kingdom, but also maps of other neighboring countries, and even a few maps depicting the entire Donghua Region.

According to the markings above, the entire Donghua Region has a total of sixteen countries.

After checking them one by one, Lu Xin decided to go to the central location of the Donghua Region, the Dragon Abyss Empire.

This is the most prosperous place in the entire Donghua Region. Back then, the Sacred Heart Sect was located here, dominating a country.

But now that the dragon has no head, the entire empire is dominated by the Three Sects and Four Gates, and there are also many large and small forces with strong strength.

If Lu Xin wants to inquire about news about the True Yang Profound Fiend, going here is undoubtedly the best plan.

With a destination, Lu Xin immediately began to plan his route. He also marked some of the major locations he would pass along the way, planning to inquire along the way.

Soon, a complete route map was drawn.

He didn't delay and went straight out of the underground.

It was night at this time. Lu Xin identified the direction and headed towards the first stop, the largest cultivator market in the Chen Kingdom, Jumu City.

It is said that there are flying treasure ships there that go to the next country, and taking this thing can save a lot of time along the way.

Three days passed quickly. Under Lu Xin's full flight, he quickly arrived at Jumu City.

He went in and wandered around, and after wandering for a few days, he left decisively after not receiving any valuable information.

In the blink of an eye, half a year later.

On a treasure ship heading to the Dragon Abyss Empire, Lu Xin stood on the deck, looking at the clouds and mist shrouded outside the light curtain, with disappointment in his eyes.

In the past six months, he had inquired all the way, without any news of the True Yang Profound Fiend, but other materials had already been collected, and now he only lacked the final touch.

In addition, he accidentally obtained a section of Soul Nourishing Wood, so he replaced Li Youlan with a larger porcelain bottle for sealing.

"If there is no news of the True Yang Profound Fiend in the Dragon Abyss Empire, then I can only leave the thirteen southern regions and go to Central Continent."

That's right, he had already inquired from Li Youlan that she had heard news of the True Yang Profound Fiend in Central Continent more than 100,000 years ago.

But now times have changed, and everything cannot be accurate.

"Dragon Abyss City is coming soon. This time, I should be able to catch up with the Xingyuan Chamber of Commerce's auction."

"There's still time, definitely can catch up. I heard that there will be a lot of good things at this auction. How many spirit stones did you bring this time?"

"Not much, this number."

…

Next to a wooden table in the back, two Foundation Establishment elders were talking.

Lu Xin became a little interested when he heard this. He had participated in many auctions, large and small, along the way. There were many things, but very few were useful to him.

"I hope this time will not disappoint me."

Lu Xin sighed in his heart and planned to return to his room to continue refining his mana.

In the past six months, he had accumulated a total of 474,300 mana and converted more than 200,000.

His mana storage had long been enough for him to break through to the late stage of Golden Core, but he had no time to convert it.

At the door of the room, Lu Xin was just about to open the door when a Qi Training stage maid cautiously stepped forward and said:

"Senior, can you please exchange rooms?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Xin frowned.

"It means I want you to do me a favor and give me this room."

A young man in a blood-red robe walked over, and the maid quickly stepped aside in fear.

Lu Xin looked at the person who came. His cultivation was in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, one level higher than his hidden realm. He released a bit of pressure with each step he took. He said it was a convenience, but the intention of coercion was obvious.

"Senior, he is a true disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect. You can't afford to offend him."

Before Lu Xin could speak, the maid whispered in his ear.

This distance is equivalent to speaking loudly to a Foundation Establishment cultivator with keen ears and eyes, so the arrogance on the red-robed man's face can be seen.

"So, will you give it up or not?"

"Mei Tianlin, what are you up to again?"

Just then, the door of the room next to Lu Xin was suddenly opened, and a black-clothed woman with a cold expression walked out with a frown.

Seeing this, Mei Tianlin quickly leaned over, "Mu Xue, I want to exchange rooms with this person to be closer to you."

Hearing this, the black-clothed woman glanced at Lu Xin. Seeing that he was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and dressed like a rogue cultivator, she stopped looking at him and said coldly:

"I said I have no feelings for you. What's the point of you doing this?"

"Feelings need to be cultivated slowly."

Mei Tianlin smiled obsequiously, then ordered Lu Xin: "Boy, I'll give you half an incense stick of time to clean up your room."
