I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 679: The Secret of Cultivation—Spirit Awakening Stone

Is it worth worrying about that thing entering the body?

Setting up an array requires preparing some array materials ahead of time to be placed inside the large array. This task is handled by three subordinates of the Martial Emperor.

Once the two powerful figures use the Power of the Primordial to activate and merge all the materials, the array can be completed.

During this process, the Blazing Heaven Viper Poison hidden within the large array ”silently” infiltrates Lin Yi’s body.

”That thing can’t be dealt with now. If I address it, how can I learn Xiang Wuxing’s skills?”

The monkey immediately understood Lin Yi’s meaning and then chuckled.

”I thought your perception would decline to this extent in my absence. Fine then, you handle the next steps yourself, while I deal with those soul cores.”

The thunderous cheers snapped Lin Yi’s thoughts back to reality.

Setting up an array that can defend against most Shadow Devourers is undoubtedly the best news for the entire Yun Yuan front.

No one wants to live peacefully only to be suddenly swallowed by monsters one day, right?

Seeing Lin Yi standing blankly for several seconds, the Martial Emperor suddenly felt nervous.

Could it be that this kid Lin Yi sensed something wrong and saw through the purpose of this endeavor?

”Young friend Lin Yi, has this array consumed too much of your energy? You seem a bit pale.”

The Martial Emperor’s intentions are clear to Lin Yi.

”No, Mr. Wv, I appreciate your concern. I wasn’t injured while dazing; I just find this array too mysterious. If my star system had such an array, why worry about foreign invasions?”

Lin Yi’s words were sincere, with no apparent flaws in his expression of innocence.

To craft a perfect persona, the Martial Emperor was generous, almost speaking without hesitation:

If young friend Lin Yi wishes, I can share and give you the detailed setup method and materials for this array. I could even accompany you to your star system to help you set up this array, how about that?

Had the Martial Emperor not said this, Lin Yi indeed hadn’t realized his ambitions were so grand.

Lin Yi almost forgot; leaving one’s own star system for another is an impossibility.

”Wouldn’t this trouble you too much, senior?”

Lin Yi feigned a bashful demeanor, perfectly portraying a junior’s modesty.

Neither the Martial Emperor nor anyone from Xiang Wuxing noticed anything amiss.

Now that Xiang Wuxing’s defenses were complete, the Martial Emperor had no reason to refuse Lin Yi’s learning.

Back at the Martial Emperor Hall, the Martial Emperor began explaining to Lin Yi the crucial aspect of Xiang Wuxing people having no limit on understanding cultivation techniques, what Blue Star refers to as skills.

Starting at eighteen, they get exposed to Spirit Crystals, discover their profession, and become professionals, which every Blue Star person knows.

Unlike Blue Star, Xiang Wuxing’s cultivation path begins earlier.

Once children on Xiang Wuxing understand things, they contact the unique mineral of Xiang Wuxing —— the Spirit Awakening Stone.

At the moment of contact with the Spirit Awakening Stone, a special ability is injected into the Xiang Wuxing person’s body, granting them a special ability — the opening of the Inner Court.

In the Inner Court, Xiang Wuxing people can repeatedly practice Heart Methods to rapidly master a martial art.

Notably, after possessing the Inner Court, the esoteric texts in martial art Heart Methods will project into the Inner Court through repeated analysis.

This is Xiang Wuxing’s unique ability.

Despite the planet’s technology lagging behind Blue Star by thousands of years, every person on Xiang Wuxing, regardless of age or gender, possesses some level of combat prowess.

Pure strength enhancement through cultivation brings their physical toughness close to those beasts transformed through cultivation.

Even with Blue Star Planet Will’s improvement and overall strength surge, it doesn’t guarantee an absolute victory against Xiang Wuxing.

Lin Yi’s physical toughness can crush the three continent elders, but that proves nothing; Lin Yi is inherently an extraordinary existence.

”Spirit Awakening Stones also come in various grades; the better quality ones cultivate terrifying talents. Ciyun Peak used to have decent grade Spirit Awakening Stones, but now, who knows where they’ve ended up?”

”Before the Eight Mansions decided to replace Dubhe Pavilion, Yunhe Town had forces eyeing Ciyun Peak.”

The Martial Emperor shook his head helplessly, lamenting his niece’s struggles and his own failure.

True, how could a sixteen-year-old girl guard all of Ciyun Peak’s treasures? The theft of Spirit Awakening Stones was expected.

Moreover, before the Martial Emperor revealed Lin Yi’s background, Lin Yi was seen by Zhang Yun as a young master who even carries divine beasts like a dragon as bodyguards. How could she expect Lin Yi never touched a Spirit Awakening Stone?

As attendants at the Martial Emperor Hall pushed a Spirit Crystal shimmering with translucent purple light before him, Lin Yi felt somewhat excited.

Though lacking the Martial Emperor’s longevity worries, enhancing his power remains urgent.

Without sufficient strength, how could he deal with powerful enemies?

He must rely on his strength, striving to maximize it.

Zacks, why did he covertly assist him? Lin Yi hasn’t reached a definitive conclusion, but he’s certain that Zacks bears no hostility toward him.

Perhaps this Upper-Rank God, like the Great Saint, is a rebel against the Three Realms and Six Paths order?

”Thank you very much, Martial Emperor senior.”

Lin Yi politely made the gesture with a fist salute but didn’t get the chance to touch the Spirit Awakening Stone before Ao Shu leaped forward, intending to enhance her cultivation talent.

You can’t fault Ao Shu’s impertinence; she’s been overly pampered by Lin Yi since childhood. Though they’re master and battle pet, neither considers this role genuinely, holding each other dearly.

Besides, the Martial Emperor’s persona is the empathetic, people-loving, approachable Martial Emperor image, which wouldn’t let Ao Shu be wary, right?

The Eyes of Golden Flame are so piercing.

Lin Yi saw at a glance that the material of the Spirit Awakening Stone shouldn’t emit such eerie purple light. Something must be coated on it.

Lin Yi knew exactly what it was.

The Martial Emperor’s ambition to control Lin Yi was already blatant; if Lin Yi couldn’t see such an obvious plot, he’d best stay out of trouble.

”What are you doing, girl?!”

”Have you forgotten you’re merely my battle pet?”

Lin Yi’s voice turned colder.

Simultaneously, the Source Power surged, a powerful lateral gravity suddenly exerted on Ao Shu, pulling her loli-like body back fiercely until she was grabbed entirely by Lin Yi.
