Chapter 0002: The Legendary Spirit Veins

After the banquet celebrating the new crown prince ended, the princes and princesses, dressed in splendid attire, chatted and laughed as they passed by Qin Yun's dilapidated little house. Seeing Qin Yun sitting dejectedly by the well, they immediately guessed what had happened.

"The former crown prince is about to become a mere soldier, heading to the border to feed the beastmen!"

"What a drastic change, huh?"

"It's all because of that witch of a grandmaster, practicing those demonic arts. Otherwise, how could he have ended up like this?"

"His mother also offended many people within the palace before she died. No one will help him!"

"Right, the new crown prince originally had five spirit veins but successfully merged with one of Qin Yun's spirit veins. Now he has six spirit veins and has already reached the Sixth Level of the Martial Body Realm at such a young age. He's much stronger than Qin Yun was back then... and he's quite handsome too."

"The new crown prince won't disappoint us; he will be the future emperor of Tian Qin! He's going to the Heavenly Profound Martial Academy tomorrow, isn't he? That's a very powerful martial courtyard..."

Hearing the distant conversation, various emotions surged within Qin Yun. One of the four spirit veins that had been taken from him was now merged with the new crown prince!

Merging spirit veins is an incredibly difficult task. Among ten thousand spirit veins, it is rare to find one that perfectly matches oneself, mainly depending on luck. Yet, the new crown prince had succeeded!

It was his own spirit vein that had enabled the new crown prince to possess the rare six spirit veins. Qin Yun felt a surge of sorrow and anger!

"I won't accept this! I won't accept this! You vile minister, you wicked empress, I'll crush you!"

He roared, pounding the stone well with his fists until they were covered in blood...

Suddenly, he felt a warm current flowing through his wrist, which instantly calmed his rage and restored his clarity!

"The gift from Grandmaster Sister before she left!"

Qin Yun quickly looked at his wrist. It was a bracelet with nine beads, stained with his blood.

He examined the bracelet closely. There were nine black spherical beads, each about the size of a longan seed, rough and dull without any luster. With only nine beads, it looked sparse and ordinary, not particularly attractive.

"Grandmaster Sister came to me hurriedly before leaving the palace, asking me to keep it safe without telling me what it was!" Qin Yun gazed at the mysterious bracelet, frowning slightly, recalling the events of that day.

The warm current continued to flow from the bracelet into his arm.

He closed his eyes, calming his mind and carefully sensing the currents. He discovered that the warm current was composed of nine different types of spiritual energy!

Shocked, he opened his eyes, staring in disbelief at the bracelet on his wrist!

Everyone is born with one spirit vein called the One-Yang Spirit Vein. This allows them to sense the spiritual energy of one sun, making it difficult for such individuals to become powerful warriors, destined for an ordinary life.

Two-Yang Spirit Veins are better, while having three spirit veins indicates average talent.

Four-Yang Spirit Veins indicate above-average talent, while five and six spirit veins are rare geniuses.

Seven-Yang Spirit Veins are considered super geniuses, and Eight-Yang Spirit Veins are a once-in-a-thousand-year occurrence!

Nine-Yang Spirit Veins exist only in legends!

Through the mysterious bracelet left by Grandmaster, Qin Yun could sense nine types of spiritual energy, equivalent to a Nine-Yang Spirit Vein, a legendary talent!

Overwhelmed with excitement, he took deep breaths to calm himself down and carefully observed the bracelet.

Each bead had intricate patterns, fine lines crisscrossing naturally without any disorder.

To confirm if it was real, he tried to absorb the spiritual energy again. Indeed, he could absorb nine different types of spiritual energy into his body.

Even after absorbing the Nine-Yang spiritual energy for a brief moment, his fatigue diminished significantly.

"The Nine-Yang spiritual energy is truly powerful! With a talent akin to a Nine-Yang Spirit Vein, I might be able to reach the Fourth Level of the Martial Body Realm within ten days, and then I won't have to join the army."

Qin Yun's heart raced with joy, his excitement causing his entire body to tremble.

He never imagined that the mysterious bracelet given by Grandmaster could change his fate!

Taking deep breaths to relax and maintain a calm mind, Qin Yun entered his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to draw in the spiritual energy.

The Nine-Yang spiritual energy flowed through the dark beads like a gentle stream, entering his body and transforming into nine-colored threads, merging and circulating throughout his limbs and body.

Although the spiritual energy remained as energy even when stored within the body, over time, it would gradually dissipate. At this point, he needed to refine the spiritual energy into internal energy, storing it in his dantian.

The first three levels of the Martial Body Realm focus primarily on refining qi!

Level One involves drawing in spiritual energy, learning to sense and guide it into the body.

Level Two involves nurturing the spiritual energy, integrating it into the flesh and bones to strengthen the body.

Level Three involves refining the spiritual energy into internal energy, circulating it throughout the limbs and body.

Qin Yun had been stuck at Level Two for a long time, unable to break through to Level Three.

Breaking through to Level Three requires introducing a large amount of spiritual energy into the body, circulating it to nourish muscles and blood, strengthening the physical body. Then, using the body as a millstone, the spiritual energy rapidly circulates, interacting with the internal blood and qi, generating internal energy.

Previously, he had only one spirit vein, allowing him to draw in the spiritual energy from only one sun, making it very weak and insufficient to sustain circulation.

And through the Nine Bead Bracelet, he can draw upon the Nine Yang spiritual energy!

Now, nine types of spiritual energy surge within him, rapidly integrating into his flesh and blood, causing his muscles and bones to grow stronger at an astonishing rate...

At dawn, the nine suns align in a straight line, rising slowly from the horizon, driving away darkness and cold, bringing warmth and light to the Nine Yang Land.

After cultivating all night with the Nine Bead Bracelet, Qin Yun naturally awakens, takes a deep breath, opens his eyes, which shine brightly, looking incredibly spirited and with a markedly changed demeanor.

He clenches his fist, and the flow of energy within his body moves to his arm, bursting forth with a punch that stirs up a gust of wind!

"Success! I have finally cultivated inner qi and reached the Third Level of Martial Body!" Qin Yun's eyes moisten with emotion, his heart filled with excitement.

He marvels inwardly at the terrifying power of his legendary talent, allowing him to break through in just one night!

With the previous One Sun Spiritual Vein, without resources, it would have taken him at least two or three years to break through!

"Grandmaster Sister, what on earth happened to you? I will definitely find you!"

He gazes into the distance, his thoughts in turmoil!

Grandmaster’s origins are mysterious; she was invited to the palace by his mother at a very early age to teach him martial arts. She is a gentle and unparalleled beauty who has always been kind to him since childhood.

"I must keep this matter hidden and leave the palace as soon as possible to avoid falling victim to the schemes of treacherous ministers!" Qin Yun thinks to himself.
