Chapter 0017: Xiao Yuelan

"It's truly bizarre; where did the inner energy from the spirit pills go? The inner essence is limited—where could it possibly hide?"

Qin Yun was puzzled. The two Hu Qi Pills had not enhanced his inner energy.

Through the Nine Yang Spirit Core, he absorbed the nine types of spiritual energies contained in the Hu Qi Pills, but there was no improvement whatsoever.

"Let me try two more and see what happens!"

Qin Yun decided to give it another shot. This time, he would observe carefully. If the same situation occurred, he would know the reason.

The Hu Qi Pills contained a large amount of spiritual energy, which, during absorption, made one feel neither hungry nor aware of the passage of time.

Deep into the night, the sky was filled with stars. The earth, scorched by the Nine Suns, finally rested, sinking into silence.

In his room, Qin Yun was refining the Hu Qi Pills.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face as he muttered, "So that’s how it is!"

The two Hu Qi Pills he had just consumed still did not enhance his inner essence, but he was incredibly excited.

Because he finally understood the reason!

Qin Yun had discovered that within his inner essence, there was another inner essence!

This newly condensed essence was the second inner essence!

After awakening his Purple Gold Fire Martial Soul, his inner essence had turned purple-gold. Now, the second inner essence he cultivated was black!

The formation of this inner essence was due to the mysterious Black Oscillation Martial Soul!

The Oscillation Martial Soul, being a legendary soul, naturally required its own inner essence to reside in. Therefore, when Qin Yun consumed the Hu Qi Pills rich in spiritual energy, it automatically condensed the black inner essence.

"Perfect! The Oscillation Martial Soul can now be well hidden within the Purple Gold Inner Essence. Though small, its power is formidable."

Qin Yun placed his hand on a table and secretly activated the oscillation inner energy. The inner energy surged out from his palm, generating a shockwave that shattered the table into pieces.

"What if I combine fire inner energy with oscillation inner energy?"

Qin Yun could only ponder this for now, not daring to experiment, as it might cause a commotion.

The black martial soul was too peculiar, and he didn’t want anyone to know about it.

"Four Hu Qi Pills didn't break through my limits, but they helped me condense a second inner essence. The inner energy released from the second inner essence is stronger, and the inner essences of both can be used interchangeably. The Purple Gold Fire Martial Soul can also absorb the inner energy from the oscillation inner essence."

Qin Yun tested it and confirmed that it worked.

When both inner essences were activated together, the inner energy could leave his body, reaching the standard of the Fifth Level of the Martial Body Realm!

The standard of the Fifth Level of the Martial Body Realm is the ability to release inner energy from the body!

Once the cultivation of inner essence and inner energy reaches a certain level, one can drive the inner energy out of the body, marking the Fifth Level of the Martial Body Realm!

If considering individual inner essences, Qin Yun was at the Fourth Level of the Martial Body Realm, but using the inner energy of both inner essences, he reached the Fifth Level!

"Even if someone checks my inner essence, they will only detect the Fourth Level." Qin Yun was very satisfied with the effects of the Hu Qi Pills, which allowed him to condense a second inner essence.

...

In the morning, after waking up, Qin Yun went to the small hall and saw a table full of breakfast prepared by Yang Shiyue.

"Eat quickly!" Yang Shiyue asked, "Did you break through?"

Today, she wore a tight-fitting light purple dress, exuding a graceful charm and a noble aura. Her curvaceous figure made her appear alluring.

"No!" Qin Yun shook his head, savoring the delicious pastries while admiring the beautiful woman before him.

"It seems to be the problem of your spirit meridian. You have only one spirit meridian, so you can only absorb the energy of one sun from the Hu Qi Pills," Yang Shiyue sighed, her beautiful face filled with helplessness.

She had thought that after awakening the Purple Gold Fire Martial Soul, Qin Yun could absorb more of the Hu Qi Pills' energy, but the result remained the same.

"After breakfast, I'll accompany you to the Huawu Bookstore to select martial techniques and then guide you in learning them." Yang Shiyue, having only Qin Yun as her student, naturally hoped he would become an excellent martial artist.

"Knock knock knock!"

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door outside the garden. After Yang Shiyue opened it, she was startled and hurriedly entered the house.

"Teacher, who came? Did I cause any trouble?" Seeing Yang Shiyue's expression, Qin Yun became worried.

He had previously severely injured Ye Weixuan and Yan Zhongming, thinking their families might come looking for him.

"It's Xiao Yuelan; she's right outside!" Yang Shiyue looked surprised and asked, "She wants to know if you want to see her?"

Qin Yun, who was still chewing, froze upon hearing it was Xiao Yuelan!

The princess of Tian Xiao Empire, possessing the Seven Sun Spirit Meridian, had actually come to see him personally!

"Why is she here? Does she want to humiliate me?" Qin Yun hastily swallowed a pastry, feeling conflicted and unsure whether to meet Xiao Yuelan.

"I don't know!" Yang Shiyue sighed softly, "This is your matter; you need to decide for yourself."

Qin Yun, with the legendary Nine Sun Spirit Meridian and dual martial souls and inner essences, was not far behind Xiao Yuelan, who possessed the Seven Sun Spirit Meridian and a legendary martial soul.

This boosted his confidence, and he said, "Let her in!"

"She has advanced to the Eighth Level of the Martial Body Realm, and she's only one year older than you. It’s truly astonishing!" Yang Shiyue sighed, then went to invite Xiao Yuelan in.

Qin Yun was once again stunned. Xiao Yuelan was only sixteen years old and already a martial artist at the Eighth Level of the Martial Body Realm!

It won't be long before I advance to the ninth level and become as powerful as Yang Shiyue!

The old ministers and generals in the court are only at the eighth or ninth level of the Martial Body Realm, yet they act so invincible.

In that case, Xiao Yuelan is very likely to have entered the "Martial Dao Realm" above the Martial Body Realm at a young age!

As Xiao Yuelan entered the hall, it felt like a cold breeze blowing, making Qin Yun shiver. She exuded a faint fragrance mixed with a chilly aura, which was quite unique.

Xiao Yuelan wore a straw hat and a black tight-fitting outfit, standing as tall as Yang Shiyue. Although she was only sixteen, her graceful curves rivaled those of Yang Shiyue.

Xiao Yuelan slowly removed her straw hat, and Qin Yun finally saw the face of this heavenly beauty, without any disappointment.

She had her long hair tied into a ponytail, dressed simply, with a beautiful and fair face. However, her expression was icy cold, exuding a clear and proud demeanor. It was unclear what experiences had made her so cold.

What surprised Qin Yun the most was that this girl, who was only one year older than him, occasionally revealed a piercing killing intent in her cold eyes.

Xiao Yuelan placed one hand on the hilt of a black-sheathed sword hanging from her waist, adding a touch of dominance and wildness to her already cold and proud appearance.

Yang Shiyue is also a cold beauty, but she has a side that is charming, tender, and alluring. She usually appears cold because as a teacher, she must maintain an icy demeanor to intimidate her arrogant students.

Xiao Yuelan, however, is completely cold, not hiding her killing intent, giving off an extremely dangerous vibe despite being just a girl!

Xiao Yuelan looked at Qin Yun with her bright, beautiful eyes that occasionally revealed a killing intent.

Under the gaze of those eyes filled with a hint of killing intent, Qin Yun suddenly felt immense pressure, a mental strain!

The moment he saw Xiao Yuelan, he forgot the taste of the snacks he had eaten earlier and experienced an indescribable suffocation!

Not because Xiao Yuelan's beauty was breathtaking, but because her chilling killing intent was suffocating!

"Are you here to kill me?" Qin Yun asked slowly.
