At this time, Ling Jiuqiu had lost all perception of the outside world, and completely immersed his consciousness in the sea of qi in the dantian.

The foundation of the martial artists of the Spirit Sea Realm lies in the Qi Sea, and every breakthrough in cultivation is closely related to the Qi Sea.

The initial condensation of the sea of qi was successful, which also meant that Xiu Wei had officially stepped into the realm of the spiritual sea.

And the cultivation of the entire Linghai Realm, from the first level of the Linghai Realm to the tenth level of the Linghai Realm, the breakthrough of every small realm is also based on the Qi Sea.

Breaking through cultivation is actually very simple, it is the quality and quantity of true qi, improving again and again, and transforming again and again.

Then, through the transformation of the true qi, the body is further refined, and the body is promoted to evolve in all directions.

In other words, there is the transformation of true qi first, and then there will be the evolution of the body, otherwise, if the quality of true qi is like dirty muddy water, how can it nourish the true dragon that soars for nine days?

And in order to transform the true qi, the most important thing is to refine the qi sea, after all, the qi sea is the source of the true qi of the spiritual sea realm martial artists, and it is also the beginning of the operation of the true qi in the body, and it is also the center.

Every wisp of true qi refined by every martial artist will first enter the sea of qi and be refined, then transported to all parts of the body through the meridians, and finally return to the sea of qi, forming a perfect cycle.

As long as the sea of qi is quenched, then every wisp of true qi flowing out of here will be a higher quality true qi, and then through the internal circulation of the meridians, all the true qi in all parts of the body will be replaced with a higher quality true qi.

This can be regarded as a breakthrough in cultivation.

Under the control of Ling Jiuqiu's thoughts, the sea of qi was like breathing, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting.

Every time it expanded, it meant that the true qi gathered in the sea of qi was so huge that it had to be expanded.

Every contraction represents the frantic compression of the true qi in the sea of qi, removing impurities, leaving only the purest part.

Tempered again and again.

After a long time.

The sea of qi returned to calm.

The fluctuations of true qi on Jiuqiu's body gradually subsided, and his consciousness returned to his body, and he began to receive all kinds of information from the outside world through his five senses.

He opened his eyes calmly, exhaled softly, and saw a white column of air fly straight out several meters away, blowing the bonfire in the circle of people to sway for a while, and finally slowly dissipated.

There was a moment of silence on the field.

It was Ling Jiuqiu who took the initiative to break the silence, and said to everyone with a smile: "Thank you, my breakthrough is over." ”

Everyone congratulated one after another.

Fang Xianhui patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: "Brother, you are too powerful!" was already so much stronger than us, but now that I have broken through again, I don't even have the qualifications to look up to you. ”

made Jiuqiu polite to everyone with a happy face.

He was really happy.

It had only been less than a month since he had broken through to the sixth level of the Spirit Sea Realm last time, and his cultivation had broken through again and reached the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

It was a complete bonus.

Between the sixfold and the sevenfold, it is not only a breakthrough in a small realm, but also a breakthrough in the middle to late stages of the Linghai realm.

For the vast majority of people, between six and seven is a big hurdle, if it goes well, it will take about a year to break through, and if it doesn't, it may not be able to break through for a lifetime.

And Ling Jiuqiu only took twenty-two days.

The most important thing is that the breakthrough from the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm to the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm has significantly improved his strength.

If he faced the man in black again, although he didn't dare to say that he would defeat the other party, he would at least have a greater certainty of saving his life, and might even get rid of the other party's pursuit unscathed.

Soon, the joy of the field was restored.

Everyone usually spends most of their time cultivating, but this time it is rare for everyone to get together and chat, they are all classmates of each other, and they are all Tianjiao in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is easier to talk together.

While everyone was chatting, Mentor Yu Yong quietly called Ling Jiuqiu to a corner.

Vice Dean Gao is waiting here.

In Jiuqiu's surprised gaze, Tutor Yu Yong briefly introduced the identity of Vice Dean Gao and retreated into the crowd.

"Vice Dean Gao? There is actually a vice president in the team? And deliberately hid your identity? ”

Jiuqiu's heart was shocked.

As if seeing Ling Jiuqiu's doubts, Vice Dean Gao said in a low voice: "It's not convenient now, more things, I'll tell you on the way back." ”

"The group of men in black who attacked you are very strong, even I can't defeat them, so, in order to prevent them from attacking again, I will take you back alone tomorrow."

"Also, about the men in black, you remember not to tell anyone else for the time being."

Ling Jiuqiu nodded silently.

……

That night, everyone rested in the open space for the night, anyway, everyone was a powerful warrior, and they didn't worry about getting cold at night.

Early the next morning.

Everyone set off to return to the Yanlong Martial Arts Academy.

Some people found that Ling Jiuqiu was missing.

But before they could ask, Mentor Yu Yong said: "Ling Jiuqiu has other arrangements, he will return alone, don't ask." ”

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to put aside the doubts in their hearts and follow the tutor on the journey back to the academy.

The other side.

Ling Jiuqiu left the Jingyang Mountains with Vice Dean Gao late at night, changed into a daily outfit, bought a horse, and embarked on a journey back to the academy, but by a different route.

On the way, Vice Dean Gao told him what had happened after Ling Jiuqiu fled.

"Vice Dean Gao, you hid in the trial team in advance, could it be that you already knew the origin of those black-clothed people? Also knew they were going to attack me? ”

Ling Jiuqiu asked the doubts in his heart.

Vice Dean Gao said: "This matter is a bit complicated, I will tell you from the beginning, and you will be able to judge for yourself at that time." ”

He paused for a moment, as if to organize the language, before he said:

"You should know that almost all the large and small forces in Luo'an are registered with the imperial court, and these forces are divided into two categories: gangs and families."

"Gang forces are founded by some strong people who unite to operate various industries, attract some famous and strong people, and continue to grow and develop, with the ultimate goal of making money, and using the gang's network power to obtain some rare resources."

"Family power, in fact, is not much different from gang power in nature, but also to earn money and materials, the biggest difference is that family members rely more on blood and family to maintain, while gangs only rely on interests, the former is a family, and the latter is more like a union of some strong people to help each other."

"These gang forces and family forces are all legal and regular organizations recognized by the imperial court."

"But in addition to these two forces, there are also some special dark forces, the purpose of their existence is not to make money, nor to communicate with each other or help each other, but to use all kinds of cruel and vicious means to achieve ulterior purposes."

"For example, a notorious dark force called Heaven emerged decades ago."
