Looking at the newly added "Taixu Indeterminate Qi" and "Wind Shadow Traceless" on the system panel, Zhong Lin suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"System, give me some points."

With a command, countless cultivation memories poured into his mind.

The "Taixu Indeterminate Qi" is a Heavenly Grade Top Grade cultivation technique that only inner sect disciples are qualified to cultivate, and it is the fundamental law of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land.

The Way of the Dao consists of three in one: emptiness, nothingness, and void. The void is white, enveloping nothingness. Nothingness is yellow, enveloping red. Red is emptiness. What is emptiness? Emptiness is the essence of light, bright but without physical form. Like the sun, moon, and fire, they are bright yet without physical form, therefore it is emptiness. What is nothingness? Nothingness is Qi. Qi has form and can be seen, but it has no substance, so it is nothingness.

As the cultivation memories flooded in, the Dan Yuan originally shrunk within the Xuandan began to circulate on its own, flowing along a mysterious path.

Moments later, a surge of Taixu Qi was generated out of thin air, filling the entire Dantian.

This Taixu Qi, although weak, was of such high quality that it made the entire Xuandan tremble slightly, a sense of longing emanating from within.

"Taixu is formless, the essence of Qi, gathering and dispersing, manifesting transient forms, truly a marvelous Taixu Indeterminate Qi."

Zhong Lin suddenly opened his eyes, sensing the Taixu Qi within the Dantian. Putting other matters aside, the quality of this power far exceeded the Dan Yuan cultivated from the "Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill." It was indeed worthy of being a Heavenly Grade Top cultivation technique, no wonder the disciples of the Holy Land were invincible among their peers.

Soon after, Zhong Lin’s face revealed a bitter smile: "The ’Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill’ is only an Earth Level Top Grade, a whole grade below ’Taixu Indeterminate Qi.’ Trying to integrate it is like a snake swallowing an elephant, I fear it might kill me!"

However, Zhong Lin did not intend to give up the "Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill." The most suitable thing for oneself is always the best, as those novels from his past life already provided the answers.

As they say: Imitators live, absolute mimics die.

In martial arts cultivation, the paths of predecessors can only be borrowed. To reach the peak, one must carve their own path.

If an ordinary martial artist wants to forge their own path, they must first reach the end of others’ paths, only then can they blaze their own trail.

But Zhong Lin has a cheat!

With the help of the system panel, countless cultivation experiences are for him to absorb and comprehend. From a higher vantage point, he can naturally carve out his own road in advance.

Though it may be muddy and winding, the foundation can be laid solid.

A skyscraper rises from the ground up, life can only... pfft!

"No rush, take it slowly. With ’Taixu Indeterminate Qi,’ I can gradually modify the ’Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill,’ integrating them bit by bit. By then, I will also gather some other Heavenly Level techniques. Someday, I will create my own peerless divine skill."

With a thought, the Taixu Qi swirling outside the Dantian was swallowed in one go.

The Dan Yuan circulated, with slight alterations in its path compared to before. It was precisely these changes that made its operation smoother and accelerated the absorption of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

Although it is currently impossible to fully integrate "Taixu Indeterminate Qi" into the "Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill," some of its essence can be drawn upon to optimize the latter, enhancing cultivation speed.

Zhong Lin then turned his attention to "Wind Shadow Traceless," as skill points flooded in, countless cultivation experiences surfaced.

"Wind Shadow Traceless" is not a movement technique, but a supreme sword skill, specifically a fast sword skill.

With extremely high sword speed, the sword moves so fast that it leaves countless afterimages, impossible to track. Where the Sword Qi passes, it feels like a breeze, leaving no trace, yet it can kill the enemy invisibly.

According to the experiences in memory, when "Wind Shadow Traceless" is practiced to a high level, the Sword Qi teleports, bursting with speed several to hundreds of times faster than sound, shattering bodies and destroying divine souls in one move, unstoppable.

"Hmm? The Sword Intent is still growing?"

Feeling the Sword Intent still increasing, Zhong Lin’s face suddenly changed.

"I’ve already pushed Sword Intent to its perfect state, why is it still growing? Could it be that perfection is not the limit of Sword Intent?"

There is no experience to follow in cultivating Sword Intent. Zhong Lin has never encountered a martial artist who surpassed him in Sword Intent, so he can only grope blindly, with no one to enlighten him.

"No matter what, the growth of Sword Intent is not a bad thing. However, I must not miss the ten-yearly Grand Competition of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land; I must seek a mentor for guidance."

The Heavenly Sword Sacred Land holds an Outer Disciple Grand Competition every ten years, and obtaining a certain ranking can earn rewards from the Sacred Land, be it Spirit Pills, Secret Techniques, or Mystical Artifacts.

But these are not the main attraction. During the Grand Competition, some Elders will attend to watch. If one shines in the competition, they might catch the eye of an Elder and be taken as a disciple.

That is truly a carp leaping over the dragon gate, ascending to the heavens in one step.

Zhong Lin naturally does not wish to miss this opportunity. The Juying Association is an excellent platform, as is seeking mentorship.

Martial arts cultivation is never about shutting oneself away. Even with the aid of the system, many things still require guidance. Let alone, the realm after Sword Intent’s perfection perplexes Zhong Lin; without guidance, he struggles to know what to do next.

Therefore, Zhong Lin planned to find a renowned teacher; he couldn’t afford to miss this Grand Competition, and he had to give it his all.

As for hiding his strength and pretending to be weak?

What a joke.

Martial arts cultivation is about advancing without retreat. Cautiously hiding will truly turn one into a pig; not inviting envy is mediocrity. To advance further in martial arts cultivation, one must strive for everything useful.

Shaking his head, he dispelled the chaotic thoughts from his mind.

"There’s still some time before the Outer Disciple Grand Competition. Now, I must focus on increasing my cultivation, first by refining the Dragon Tiger Pill. Regardless, strength is always the top priority."

Here and now, Zhong Lin got up and left Liuxuan Pavilion to go to the Medicine Garden at Juying Peak. After obtaining ten portions of materials for refining the Dragon Tiger Pill, he returned.

Only three Dragon Tiger Pills needed to be produced from the ten materials. The rest accounted for loss. With Zhong Lin’s full level Alchemy Skill, the pill formation rate exceeded eighty percent, meaning the remaining five pills belonged to him.

This is the advantage of being a Pill Master; with skills, one won’t starve anywhere.

Of course, this is also because Zhong Lin has a cheat. Other Pill Masters would count themselves lucky to achieve a forty percent pill formation rate.

He hung a ’Do Not Disturb’ sign on the door and began his closed-door pill refining.
