Chapter 111 Departure, The Eerie Ruins
The next day, afternoon.
The group stopped at the south gate of Luojiang Academy's air port.
Wei Zhiyuan was in high spirits, but when she saw Wei Lan, she was furious and glared at him fiercely.
Since Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan disappeared yesterday afternoon, Wei Lan has not returned home all night.
Looking at Wei Lan's current state, Wei Zhiyuan, having been through it all, knew exactly what had happened.
As for Nan Yu, he looked listless, still recovering from the physical shock he suffered last night.
Now he's suffered a severe psychological blow; all the cabbages he's raised for so many years have been snatched up by someone else. What's infuriating is that Wei Lan no longer sees him as a father; she'd rather stick to that kid.
"It's time, let's go." Nan Yu said, savoring the taste.
Wei Lan ignored him, her eyes fixed on Xiao Weiqing, filled with reluctance.
I will come to find you.
"real?"
"I promise."
Watching Wei Lan and her family board the aircraft and leave, Xiao Weiqing sighed softly.
"Let's go back too," Jiang Peng said, patting Xiao Weiqing on the shoulder.
"Your situation is much better than my father's and Wei Lan's father's; you have gained the approval of Wei Lan's maternal grandfather."
"That's because of my teacher, not because of me."
Xiao Weiqing understood perfectly well that he currently only had potential and talent, but that was all.
"Let's go."
Xiao Weiqing watched the aircraft disappear into the horizon, then turned and left, returning to the Upper Courtyard.
Now all he has to do is cultivate, cultivate relentlessly.
……
Spiritual practice knows no time.
A month later.
Xiao Weiqing opened his eyes in the body tempering room.
"The third-level tempering chamber is becoming less and less effective at tempering my body."
After Wei Lan left, Xiao Weiqing devoted himself to cultivation, especially body tempering. After a month of high-intensity body tempering, his physical body successfully broke through to the next stage, the Bone Forging Realm.
"The Blazing Sun Body Tempering Method is truly extraordinary."
In terms of spiritual energy, even with less time for cultivation, he didn't fall too far behind. As expected of a level 4 recovery talent skill, Hundred Rivers Return to Origin, his body was constantly absorbing spiritual energy. Although the amount was small, it was sustained.
As for Wei Lan, his family entered the center of the Illusionary Moon Ruins and could not be contacted.
However, he and Wei Lan often exchange video messages.
Xiao Weiqing returned to the villa and opened the video that Wei Lan had sent him.
"Brother Qing, I have some good news for you. After I opened my sea of consciousness, my mental power cultivation has been getting faster and faster. My mental power level has already broken through level 20. Heh heh... You might not be my match now. Also, the Illusionary Moon Ruins are really fun. I'll take you there next time..."
Xiao Weiqing watched the video carefully and smiled.
"Do you think I'm just going to stay in the same place?"
A thought struck him, and he looked at the panel.

Flame True Body is a talent skill that one can fully comprehend through the perfect understanding of the essence of fire. In the Flame True Body form, one's strength, speed, and defense all increase dramatically, but the consumption of essence fire is also enormous.
"Try opening up the lower dantian."
"call......"
Xiao Weiqing let out a soft breath.
Calm your mind and get into the best possible state.
then.
Begin to draw in Qi into the Qihai acupoint.
One stream, two streams... more and more, but none of them worked. After the spiritual energy entered the Qi Sea acupoint, very little remained, and most of it dissipated.
However, Xiao Weiqing was not in a hurry, but continued to inject spiritual energy.
One minute, two minutes... after an unknown amount of time, Xiao Weiqing's body began to flare with restless energy.
Even without deliberate stimulation, the essence fire involuntarily began to gather at the Qihai acupoint. This time, Xiao Weiqing was not nervous and continued to inject spiritual energy following his instincts.
The Thousand Threads of Essence Fire continuously gathered and solidified in the Qihai acupoint, compressing into a single point so small that Xiao Weiqing could not even feel it.
at last.
a moment.
Boom!
A roar erupted from within Xiao Weiqing's body, and this single point suddenly burst forth, blooming like fireworks, dazzlingly beautiful. In an instant, it formed an elliptical disk, resembling a brilliant galaxy.
It is exactly the same as the middle dantian, except that the color is slightly different, and a flame of essence flickers and dances in the center.

"It's done."
Xiao Weiqing smiled.
The perfect refinement of the divine fire helped him successfully open his second dantian, raising his strength to a new level. He also automatically acquired the next step of divine fire refinement method from his mind.
Without hesitation, nor indulging in the joy of opening up the lower dantian.
Xiao Weiqing began to try refining divine fire, and he needed to know the refining speed of divine fire.
After entering the cultivation, Xiao Weiqing frowned slightly, and a faint fluctuation arose around his body.
Two hours later.
Xiao Weiqing opened his eyes.
"As expected, refining the spirit is not so easy."
After two hours of cultivation, the divine fire had only refined a mere 5 strands.
Samadhi Divine Fire: (5/1000) strands
"It seems I'll have to spend a lot of time cultivating my mental strength in the future." He believed that once his mental strength improved, the refining of divine fire would be much faster.
At this time.
The bracelet beeped.
Xiao Weiqing.
"Qin Tian, is something the matter?"
"Hmm, do you remember what I told you before?" Qin Tian said.
Xiao Weiqing nodded. "I remember, Xue Cheng has opened his sea of consciousness?"
"That's right. It just opened this afternoon, so we can go to the Eerie Ruins now."
"Doesn't he need some time to consolidate his position?"
Qin Tian shook his head, "No need. The next assessment in the Youming Ruins won't be open for another day or two. We can go to the ruins and wait first."
"Okay, shall we set off tomorrow?"
"Um."
The communication was disconnected.
Xiao Weiqing logged onto the university's official website and browsed the detailed information about the Youming Relics again.
The Youming Ruins were discovered half a month ago, located within Luojiang Prefecture. Officials have determined it to be an abandoned relic of a civilization.
The ruins themselves don't have any special resources, but there's a small secret realm challenge inside. After completing the challenge, you can obtain corresponding treasures.
The treasures could be weapons, elixirs, cultivation resources, etc.
Only those with the strength of the second realm can enter the assessment, and they must form a team of three, preferably one each of magic, spirit, and martial arts, in order to cope with the assessment inside.
Xiao Weiqing and Qin Tian had been waiting for Xue Cheng to enter the second realm; otherwise, they would have gone long ago.
This ruin has long been abandoned. The secret realm inside is not like a ruin; it is very unstable, and the treasures in the secret realm are not inexhaustible. In a while, I'm afraid all the treasures in the secret realm will be taken away.
The next day.
The three met at the south gate of the university.
"Xue Cheng, you've finally broken through! If you hadn't broken through to the second realm, Xiao Weiqing and I would have really had to team up with the senior students."
Xue Cheng said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, it should have been successful a few days ago. I was a little impatient and almost made a mistake."
Xiao Weiqing said, "It's alright, a few more days won't make a difference. It's not a good idea to ask your senior for help; you might get scammed."
"Xiao Weiqing sees things clearly. We agreed that each would get what they need and that the distribution would be based on their work. If I am not useful during the assessment, I will not take a penny of what I receive," Xue Cheng said.
