Chapter Thirty-Eight: Utter Tragedy

  With a snap of his fingers, the outer shell of the Xuanjin Formation instantly turned to dust, and green energy flowed through it, flowing throughout Qin Hao's body under his guidance.

  A warm and smooth feeling spread from the meridians all over, as if soaking in hot water. Then, Qin Hao's wounded left arm surface wound healed extremely quickly, while the skeletal injury didn't repair that fast, but the pain and weakness eased a lot.

  Before long, the energy of the Feng Xuan formation was absorbed dry, and at this moment, Qin Hao's Qi Hai was in its most abundant state, with a power flowing slowly through his body.

  Qin Hao stood tall and still, his hands hanging at his sides, his breathing slow and deep. He could clearly feel that with each breath he took in and out, the mysterious energy in his dantian grew stronger by a fraction. As he breathed in and out, a thread of white airflow swirled around the wings of his nose, slowly entering his body.

  It's unknown how many times it repeated, but that thin white airflow grew wider and larger, eventually becoming as thick as a small thumb. Under such circumstances, Qin Hao also seemed to feel the Xuan Qi in his body, seemingly reaching its limit.

  The mind is concentrated, the method of work is turning, in the palm-sized Qi Hai, the mysterious air is continuously rotating, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

  Qin Haoping stretched out his right hand, placed it across his chest, and gathered the mysterious energy into his palm. Suddenly, his entire palm was covered with a layer of fiery red mysterious energy light.

  Mystical!

  Qin Hao took a deep breath again, and the air in his dantian began to circulate at several times its original speed, surging wildly towards the center of his right hand.

  With a flicker of his mind, Qin Hao compressed the Xuanqi light shield on his palm. The original Xuanqi that covered his entire palm was condensed into a small red dot under Qin Hao's full force compression, constantly flashing and jumping.

  Qin Hao made another great effort, but found that the bright red light spot, about the size of a fingernail, seemed to have reached its limit. No matter how majestic the Xuan Qi gathered in Qin Hao's right hand was, it could not compress it by half.

  Gritting his teeth, Qin Hao stretched out his left hand, curled his fingers into a claw, and gathered the mysterious energy. Then he fiercely pressed down on the light spot.

  "Hahaha."

  Under Qin Hao's movements, the originally motionless dark energy light points rotated and shrank again, and a faint sound continued to be transmitted in the air.

  Finally, the mysterious energy light point shrunk down to only the size of a grain of rice, displaying a deep red color, with its radiance flowing and turning, dazzling the eyes extremely.

  Qin Hao closed his eyes, focused for a moment, and carefully sensed the flow of energy within the Xuanqi light points.

  Subtle and mysterious, differing by a single word, yet as different as heaven and earth.

  The spirit represents the true possession of spirituality within the body, able to change shape at will, truly achieving spiritual transformation and natural movement. The gathered vital energy forms a sharp attacking tool, a strong defensive shield, and can even cause harm from a distance, its power several times stronger than that of the Condensed Spirit Warrior.

  Qin Hao slowly sensed the flow of the mysterious energy, constantly experiencing the profundity of the word "Ling" in his heart. Under his conscious control, the glowing dots of the mysterious energy seemed to be dancing and jumping on his palm, outlining countless complex and obscure patterns.

  Inside the light point, the Xuan Qi was compressed to an unimaginable degree. The original Xuan Qi that could cover the entire palm was now only a hundredth or even a thousandth of its original size. The thick and substantial Xuan Qi also seemed to be transforming, undergoing a fundamental change.

  "Humming."

  A dark energy light spot suddenly shook violently, and that shaking even brought the air with it.

  The speed of the vibration grew faster and faster, and soon Qin Hao's eyes could only see a residual shadow shaking, unable to discern its true location. And this drastic change directly caused the massive amount of mysterious energy within the light point to cross that boundary line.

  Qin Hao only felt that the Xuan Qi light spots were compressing on their own, and in the end, they were only half the size of before.

  "Peng!"

  Within the light spot, a faint explosive sound, the existing mysterious aura glow, all disappeared in that moment, replaced by the gradually appearing aura in ** state.

  Then, a beam of light suddenly rose from the light point and shone directly onto the 10-foot-high ceiling. The beam was extremely small, but at that moment it illuminated the entire stone room. The light was almost to the point of being dazzling.

  "Humming."

  Suddenly, a more intense tremor came through the air, and then the heavenly energy around Qin Hao suddenly fluctuated rapidly.

  Qin Hao's clothes suddenly fluttered and rustled, while his thick black hair also moved automatically without any wind.

  In Qin Hao's dantian, a change similar to light points also appeared. The xuanqi inside the dantian first vibrated and spontaneously compressed, and after a faint explosion sound, it transformed into xuanqi droplets, slowly filling the dantian. When the dantian was filled with xuanqi, the beam of light in Qin Hao's hand finally dimmed.

  In the stone room, it eventually settles into calmness.

  Qin Hao's eyes opened, and if someone were to look into them, they might discover that the black pupils seemed even deeper, like a black hole, with an irresistible attraction. His palms clasped together, rubbing against each other a few times, and suddenly a burst of popping sounds filled the room.

  Qin Hao's right foot stepped out, and a clear footprint appeared on the ground instantly. His body suddenly moved, and the technique of riding the wind for thousands of miles was pushed to its limit at that moment, it was unknown how much faster than before.

  His figure fluttered, and his hands didn't stop making movements. His right palm's middle finger tapped the void, instantly shooting out a fire-red aura that blasted a deep hole in the wall. His left hand's index and middle fingers stood upright and stretched out, with two fingers above, the fire-red aura condensed and extended like a sword, stretching forward three feet, then Qin Hao lightly tapped his two fingers, and immediately, one after another, finger prints appeared on the wall...

  After repeating it several times, Qin Hao stopped, with an uncontrollable joy on his face.

  The accumulation of many days, the struggle of the previous night, finally revealed its achievements at this moment. At this moment, he finally stepped into the realm of Ling Xuan, and opened the true gate of the strong. After crossing this threshold, his journey will be unprecedentedly broad...

  While feeling happy, Qin Hao suddenly thought of someone, Lin Bi... I wonder what the situation is now? At this moment, he suddenly became very interested in Lin Bi's situation.

  Pushing open the door and taking a look, I found that the sky was already bright, and it would soon be daylight.

  Thinking of this, Qin Hao suddenly started running towards the square.

  When he rushed to the square, the sky was already bright. The square was surrounded by a dense crowd of people, and the excitement was not much different from the scene when rare items were sold in Tiān Nán Fāng.

  Nalinbi and his two guards stood in the center of the square, their postures exactly as they had been the night before.

  Qin Hao's mouth was curved with a happy smile as he carefully observed Lin Bi's expression. Lin Bi's eyes were tightly closed, seemingly still asleep, but Qin Hao could tell from his constantly twitching eyelashes and heavy breathing that he must be awake now, just too ashamed to open his eyes, pretending to be unconscious instead.

  Qin Hao perked up his ears and listened carefully to others' discussions.

  "Picking chrysanthemums? In such a good mood?"

  "What's going on here? It's really a case of the world getting worse and worse." A young man in a green robe let out a few long sighs, but judging from his gloating smile, he probably wasn't a good guy either.

  "Amazing! Such a brilliant move, I've never seen it before in my life. I wonder if it's recorded in any ancient texts."

  A disheveled man with gleaming eyes flipped through a dark yellow book, Qin Hao glanced sideways and found that the book was actually ** Anthology.

  "It's settled, it's settled. The name is set as 'Those Things of the Lin Family'. It'll definitely be a bestseller. Haha, I can eat my fill now."

  A man in tattered clothes with a listless expression had his eyes shining brightly and his face flushed as he kept waving his fists.

  Qin Hao recognized him as a storyteller named "Bu Jie" in Tianlang City, who made a living by telling legendary stories or martial arts legends to ordinary people for some reward money. It is said that this person has been struggling to make ends meet recently because his stories have become dull, so it's no wonder he was delighted to see such a good subject.

  The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, until soon someone from Lin's family discovered Lin Bi's predicament.

  "Get out of the way."

  Several young men from the Lin family looked anxious and tried with all their might to push through the crowd, attempting to pull Lin Bi out from the middle.

  At this moment, there were too many people surrounding them. Those few people were anxious in their hearts, but no matter what, they couldn't squeeze in even a little bit. Moreover, the number of people was increasing more and more.

  At this point, several young men of the Lin family suddenly became anxious.

  "What's wrong? Can't get in."

  "Take action, drive away a few people, and others will naturally make way."

  "Are you an idiot? With so many people laying hands, aren't you afraid of offending the crowd?" A seemingly high-ranking Lin family member hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying: "Go back and report to the master, I'll stay here and keep an eye on things to make sure my brother doesn't get into trouble. Hurry up, you can't delay any longer."

  Under his command, the other two men immediately ran towards the Lin family's direction.

  Qin Hao remained calm and collected, taking everything in stride.

  He was getting more and more curious, wondering what color Lin Zhanbei's face would turn when he saw Lin Bi in this state later - black or green?

  As news spread in the square, the onlookers changed from ordinary people to many middle and small families with sons coming to investigate.

  Those who have no relationship with the Lin family are naturally gloating, hiding aside to secretly watch the show, neither getting involved nor missing out on such a wonderful scene.

  Those who have a good relationship with the Lin family would certainly not want to see this scene, but thinking so in their hearts, many people couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw such an absurd situation. The more reserved ones wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and could only clench their teeth tightly, their faces turning beet red.

  Even some good Samaritans have taken out their crystal balls and are recording this scene into the crystal balls.

  The legitimate descendants of the Lin family, sacrificing so much to put on such a wonderful show for them, not recording it would be a lifelong regret!
