Hiss hiss hiss...
Han Yi stared thoughtfully at the gradually dissipating lightning in his hand.
"According to Elder Lin Mu, gathering the thunder intent and manifesting the thunder blade is actually the first step in the condensation of intent. The so-called divine soul intent is equivalent to the process of comprehending, accumulating, and storing thunder power."
He shook off the charred bits from his hands and began to analyze the situation further.
"It's a pity. It's still just a little bit short. Or rather, if the external environment had abundant lightning energy, it should be able to make up for this deficiency and complete the process."
The area where Han Yi's school of thought was located was filled with a constant stream of vital energy.
This environment is what the people of the North often refer to as abundant spiritual energy. According to Lin Mu, spiritual energy is the manifestation of the origin of heaven and earth, formless and intangible, pure and flawless.
The original spiritual energy without attributes differentiates into the ten natures of heaven and earth. In places where spiritual energy is abundant, the various attribute powers are often extremely evenly distributed and difficult to mobilize.
Therefore, each school of thought would build special auxiliary locations similar to lightning-summoning caves around the spirit pool, for the purpose of comprehending the power of the corresponding attributes of the imagery.
but.
In Han Yi's view, the underlying reason is probably the essence-plundering formation, which suppresses external forces and ensures the concentration of essence.
"Junior brother?"
A gentle male voice came from around the corner of the road.
Han Yi looked up at the sound and saw Lu Chenxin, who had been waiting for a long time.
At this moment, Lu Chenxin spoke with a smile and his expression was gentle, showing no trace of the impatience he had felt while waiting for more than two hours.
"Junior brother has finally decided to come out. I've kept your senior brother waiting for quite a while." He chuckled softly, his attitude amiable.
"Oh? Brother Lu has been waiting for me all this time?" Han Yi asked in surprise. "What's wrong? Is there something you need? I just joined the school, and Elder Lin was kind enough to give me a few more words of advice."
“I understand. As a newcomer, there’s a lot to learn. We all went through this.” Lu Chenxin smiled. “Actually, once you sort things out and get familiar with them, you’ll find that it’s all just the same few things over and over again, and you’ll get on the right track quickly.”
"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Lu." Han Yi smiled.
"It's nothing." Lu Chenxin waved his hand. "The welcome party we talked about in the morning class... I've discussed it with a few fellow disciples, and we're all free. Why not do it today? The school hasn't had any new members for a long time, so we should celebrate."
"Let's do it another day," Han Yi politely declined. "I'm new here and haven't even settled in yet. I'll visit you all in person another day." He was currently focused on the Spring Thunder Blade, having finally obtained the secret to strengthening his soul and reaching a higher level. Naturally, he had no time to bother with this childish and boring gathering.
"Everything is prepared; it's a token of our appreciation," Lu Chenxin advised. "Let's have a meal, chat, and get to know each other."
"This..." Han Yi hesitated for a moment.
"Is Junior Brother worried about expenses?" Lu Chenxin seemed to have misunderstood Han Yi's meaning and smiled, "We just went out and cleared out an Icefield Python the other day. Its flesh and blood are rich in spiritual energy, and with a little processing, it will be enough to meet the needs of the banquet. Junior Brother, please have fun."
"Icefield Python?" Han Yi's interest was piqued.
No one could see the two faint crimson dots that shone in his eyes.
"The Icefield Python is also a common snow beast on the snowfields outside. This creature has thick skin and amazing endurance. When it goes berserk, it can raze a small town to the ground. In addition, this thing can go for dozens of days without eating after a full meal. Its vitality is extremely tenacious. It is difficult to be found when it hides. Therefore, it has been listed as one of the four pests by the Holy Palace."
Lu Chenxin remained completely oblivious and continued talking eloquently.
"This time, it was the Holy Palace that discovered a dormant Icefield Python near the surrounding spiritual fields, which prompted them to notify the school and send people to deal with it."
Fortunately, we discovered it in advance. The ice python is at its weakest when it's asleep, so it didn't take too much effort, and we captured it without any major incident. Otherwise, we would have lost both money and lives, which would have been a real loss.
"What do you mean? Isn't there any benefit?" Han Yi asked curiously, his eyes burning with an even stronger crimson light.
"Benefits?" Lu Chenxin sneered, a hint of resentment on his face.
"There are benefits, but they all go to the school. These Holy Palace missions are daily tasks to earn school points, and school points are the key to determining the school's ranking."
If the points are insufficient, the alliance suffers a defeat, and the ranking cannot be maintained, then the school will naturally be expelled. If expelled…”
He didn't continue, but Han Yi already understood what he meant.
Being removed from a school of thought is tantamount to its dissolution, the repossession of the Spirit Pool node, and the severance of its lineage.
"So normally, for Holy Palace missions, the school should provide them separately as a reward for the disciple's completion," Lu Chenxin sneered. "How can it be like this third-rate school, just giving a python corpse and calling it a day? That old codger, a few words... um?!"
Having said that.
Lu Chenxin suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
I came here to persuade the other party to attend the banquet, so why did I inexplicably reveal my true feelings?
"Brother Lu? Brother Lu?" Lu Chenxin suddenly raised his head, and Han Yi in front of him gave him a gentle smile.
In his eyes, it was like some ferocious beast suddenly baring its sharp fangs.
"Brother Lu? You haven't finished yet? That old geezer..."
"What? What do you mean by old age?" Lu Chenxin was startled, like a frightened kitten, and took a big step back. "Junior brother... you... misheard. I said... I said..."
He was drenched in cold sweat, and when he touched his face, large drops of sweat covered it.
Looking up at Han Yi again, she found that apart from his strange expression, he was no different from other ordinary disciples in terms of his aura.
It was as if the immense, heavy pressure he had just felt was merely an illusion.
"I'm talking about... the Ice Python." Lu Chen hurriedly explained, "Although the Ice Python is weakest when it is sleeping, it is said that every time it awakens after a deep sleep, its size will increase significantly, and there is no limit to this increase."
Legend has it that beneath the northern lands lies a colossal ice python, bearing the weight of a vast ice field, stretching across the land like a mountain range. Therefore, the ice python is sometimes also called the Old Jade Serpent…
"I see..." Han Yi mused, the deep crimson in his eyes gradually fading. "It seems I was indeed ignorant... Old Cave Snake... This is the first time I've heard of him..."
"This was just a story, a rumor. Few people would believe it; most would just laugh it off. It's normal that Junior Brother doesn't know." Lu Chenxin's breathing quickened. "Since Junior Brother is busy, let's get together another day, another day..."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away in a hurry without waiting for Han Yi's reply.
Lu Chenxin, a hypocrite who appears virtuous on the surface but is actually gloomy inside, is most afraid of his shameful secrets being exposed to the light.
Without realizing it, I trusted a stranger and spoke my true feelings.
He brought it up himself.
This loss of mental control clearly indicates a problem with one's spirit and soul; either one's mind is scattered and thoughts are leaked, or one is being invaded by external evils and spied on.
In short, it's not a good thing.
So Lu Chenxin immediately forgot about the banquet and rushed back.
"Of course, of course. Take care, Brother Lu. Let's meet again next time." Han Yi waved and shouted loudly as he watched the other man's staggering figure disappear into the distance.
Suddenly.
It was visible to the naked eye. Lu Chenxin was running even faster.
"Interesting..." Han Yi's eyes held a hint of something unreadable. "It seems my adopted senior brother... isn't as innocent as he appears..."
He originally just had a sudden idea to conduct an experiment.
Try using the Spirit Seed's ability to erode the mind and see what effect it would have on members of the Hundred Veins.
As it turned out… some interesting things were actually discovered.
"However, judging from the current situation, those in the North... who specialize in cultivating the divine soul... have far greater resistance to abnormal states than those who practice martial arts..."
Han Yi ignored Lu Chenxin.
In fact, given his current strength, the entire Myriad Manifestations School is practically insignificant.
This is just a stepping stone.
This allowed him to come into contact with a higher level of soul cultivation system in the North.
Han Yi had a premonition.
Once the physical body touches the shackles of heaven and earth, if the soul could also reach that level, an earth-shattering change would absolutely occur…

Time passes day by day.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
For seven days, Lin Mu followed the routine, attending morning classes once every two days.
Han Yi's understanding of the Spring Thunder Blade has also evolved from initial unfamiliarity to his current mastery.
of course.
The mastery here is limited to the content and techniques. In other words, it's merely having the form but not the meaning.
The true essence, the grasp of spiritual imagery, is still in the exploratory stage.
Today's morning lesson covered this very topic.
"Alright. That concludes today's morning lesson. After you return, be sure to study diligently and practice hard, and remember the key points..." The bell rang, and Lin Mu announced the end of the morning lesson with a blank expression.
Amidst a chorus of farewells, Lin Mu's expression grew increasingly cold.
He glanced at the group of people who had left.
Originally, there were about a dozen disciples who came to listen to the lecture, but now only seven or eight people came.
In just seven days.
It seems that several more disciples have left the school without a word.
Deviating from a school of thought in the past would have been tantamount to treason, a capital offense punishable by arrest and execution. But now…
Lin Mu was too lazy to chase after him.
Or.
I have the will but not the power; I want to manage it, but I can't.
He couldn't leave the school of thought, and sending people to hunt him down was unrealistic.
"What's going on?" Lin Mu frowned, feeling something was off.
It's fine if other people don't come.
Lu Chenxin, the disciple he had previously focused on cultivating, had not appeared at any of the morning classes these past few times.
"He must be tied up with something and can't get away..." Lin Mu thought to himself, holding high hopes for Lu Chenxin.
Whether it's Lu Chenxin or Han Yi, it's an acceptable outcome for either of them to become the sect leader.
