"Swish!"

The character appeared on Fengyuntai, and the image of the golden dog-headed demon slowly faded and returned to the image of my previous little skeleton. He took a deep breath and fought for two consecutive hours. He was still a little tired mentally. In the air, a faint cloud and mist gathered in the shape of Master Ding Heng. He looked at me with kindness and smiled: "Little guy, you have successfully completed the trial of Fengyuntai. He returned with honor and did not disappoint Master. Now you are already strong enough and need to break through the Qi Condensation Realm as soon as possible. Master will open up a space for your body refining. Work hard!"

"Oh? Thank you Master!"

I nodded, full of joy, and at the same time I noticed that the full achievement system was glowing. So I opened it and saw that the achievement of killing 1,000 players had been completed. Just as I clicked to confirm the reward, a pleasant ringtone flashed through my ears-

"bite!"

System prompt: Congratulations on completing the first achievement of the entire achievement system [Murder Intention], and receive a reward: enter the fountain of the earth veins to practice for 120 minutes!

...

A spring of the earth's veins?

I was stunned for a moment and confirmed it. The next moment, a ray of extremely warm white light wrapped around my body and directly teleported me out of the Fengyuntai. The next moment, when I opened my eyes, I found that my body was soaked in a clear spring water.

Here, the light is very dark. When I look up, I see strands of gray-white horses falling from the sky and flowing gurgling, like streams from the sky. Just above the stream, clouds and mists rise, and the rich spiritual energy turns into colorful rainbows, flowing freely. When I breathe for the first time, the feeling was unparalleled, and I felt comfortable all over.

I immediately sat cross-legged, breathed again and again, and after 60 seconds, a ringtone came from my ear—

"bite!"

System prompt: Qi condensation is successful. Congratulations on triggering a knowing attack and obtaining 8,000 experience points!

...

This experience value is a bit explosive!

My mind trembled, and I knew that these 120 minutes were definitely a god-given opportunity for leveling up. I immediately sat upright, took deep breaths again and again, and gradually relaxed my spirit. I couldn't help feeling the breaths that were inhaled into my body. This was a very wonderful experience. Unlike normal breathing, every time I breathed in the game, I could even feel the power that was inhaled into my body surging between my bloodlines. These airflows had no substance, but were also powers that could be clearly felt. After circulating in my body for a week, it was finally included in the lower abdomen.

Where is the Dantian?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile.

I only participated in the technical code development of "Fantasy Moon", and I did not intervene in the planning scheme. However, now it seems that this game is doing very well. The feeling of practicing in the game makes people feel like it is real, as if those fantasy practices have been transformed into concreteness, making the players become members who really exist in this background, feeling that surging aura.

In this way, I kept gaining experience points, and after an hour, I had already reached level 20!

In addition to the crazy upgrade, a golden progress bar at the Qi Condensation Realm in the personal panel also soared, soaring from the previous 25%, and has reached 75%. If nothing unexpected happens, you can break through the Qi Condensation Realm in one hour after practicing for another.

People in the black castle practice have a set of laws. The first level of people who practice the law of death is to condense qi, and the second level is to refine their bodies. It seems... I have also embarked on this path. It is a bit strange, but I feel like I am about to immerse myself in it.

In a blink of an eye, an hour is coming, and this practice of entering the Earth Vein Spring is about to end. At this moment, my lower abdomen feels swollen, as if the breath has been saturated. Just as a "pop" cracking sound, my abdomen becomes warm-up-

"bite!"

System prompt: Congratulations, you have broken through the [Qi Condensation Realm] and officially entered the [Body Refining Realm]!

...

Breakthrough!

I frowned. Although there seemed to be no improvement in the character's data, I felt like I had become stronger. When I waved my arms, I felt that my strength had increased!

"The practice is over!"

A ringtone flew up in my ears, and then my body was teleported out, standing under a sky, a huge vortex above my head reached straight up the sky, clouds and mist, an ancient and majestic voice echoed in my ears-

"bite!"

System prompts: The first phase of the full achievement system ends, and the second phase [Surprise] is officially opened: the level reaches the first place in the entire server!

...

Immediately afterwards, I was teleported to the space of the entire achievement system and returned to Fengyuntai again, looking confused. Is this going to rush to the top of the entire server level? It's a bit difficult...

Above the Fengyuntai, clouds and mist gathered into Ding Heng's appearance. He looked at me without turning his eyes and said, "Did you trigger a different opportunity? Why... you actually broke through the Qi Condensation Realm in a short period of time? You even opened up a sea of ​​Qi. The power of this sea of ​​Qi is invincible among your peers."

I was stunned: "I...I don't know much..."

He stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "It's okay, Master won't force you if you don't want to say anything. Get ready. Master will take you to a place of great fortune. This will start your physical cultivation. Once the physical cultivation state is complete, you can obtain a perfect body, not as shabby as in front of you..."

He glanced at the ribs and bright pelvis on my chest, with a sigh in his eyes.

I smiled awkwardly: "Okay, Master, I'll listen to you."

"Let's go."

The clouds and mist slid down, directly condensed Ding Heng's real body, just walking ahead, and I followed him.

The master and apprentice passed through the valley and went further forward, and there was a complex built along the mountain. In the clouds and mist, the complex seemed like an ancient divine realm, which looked like a desire, but the dark clouds above the mountains were surrounded by the breath of death, which added a bit of gloomy feeling.

"That's the Black Castle?" I was surprised.

"Yes."

Ding Heng put one hand behind him, walked forward, looked back at me, and smiled and said, "What?"

I frowned: "Master, I am just a deceased soul with a low cultivation level. According to the rules, I don't seem to be qualified to enter Black City, right?"

"That's right."

He smiled and said, "Only death cultivators with a complete body refining realm are eligible to enter the Black Castle, but... you are an exception. I have applied with the city lord, and you have obtained the qualification to go to the blood pool to practice once."

"Blood Pool?"

"That's right."

Ding Heng nodded and smiled, saying, "Whether it is Fengyuntai, the Land of Reincarnation, or the Treasure Pavilion, Qiankun Pavilion and the Ancient Battlefield, they are just Wu Pavilions. The existence of Wu Pavilion is to protect the outer power of the Black Castle, and the Blood Pool belongs to one of the forces in the castle. Together with the Left Camp and the Right Camp, they are called the Sansi of the Inner, and are one of the core forces of the Blood Castle."

I nodded, not understanding.

Ding Heng smiled slightly: "When you grow stronger in the future, you will naturally understand all this slowly. You are indeed not qualified to enter the blood pool to practice now, but you stand out on the Fengyuntai and perform very well, so both the City Lord and Yunyue allow you to go to the blood pool to practice once, and you should cherish this opportunity."

"Yes, Master!"

Although I didn't understand it very well, I nodded.

...

Along avenue, we were straight up to the Black Castle. In front of us, a dark black city wall was connected, separating the building complex of the Black Castle from the outside world. Just in front of the gate, a blood-colored curtain appeared and made me stunned.

Ding Heng saw it and smiled faintly: "This is the barrier formation that protects the mountains. Don't force it to break through, otherwise with your cultivation level, you may be blown into powder by the power of the barrier formation in an instant."

I couldn't help but be amazed.

"I am Ding Heng, I will take my disciples to the Blood Pool to practice. Please open a corner of the barrier." He walked forward and said in a deep voice.

Suddenly, a small part of the barrier in front of us slowly dissipated, and a small door was opened. When we walked in, we saw an old man falling from the sky, holding a shiny rune stone controlling the barrier, and laughed: "Elder Ding is rare to come from the outside mountain. He is such a rare guest. What kind of disciple is it that you value so much?"

His eyes fell on me, making me feel like I was searched for a while and I was uncomfortable all over.

"alright."

Ding Heng smiled and said, "Elder Luo, don't ridicule me anymore. I will take my disciples to the blood pool now. When I come back, I will bother you again."

"It's okay, the responsibility lies. If you can't go to the Blood Pool, you have to talk less. The Master of the Blood Pool failed to refine his weapon these days and was furious. Don't provoke her. We deacons and elders can't afford to offend that ancestor..."

Ding Heng smiled happily: "Thank you for your reminder! Let's go, little guy!"

“Yes, Master…”

...

As soon as his robe swept, an irresistible force wrapped around my body and flew forward. In a blink of an eye, he flew out a few miles. In front of him, a blood color rose, connecting with the sky.

Blood Pool, Arrived!

Ding Heng walked ahead and said, "The blood pool, where the essence of the black castle is nourished, whether it is a practitioner of the rule of death or a practitioner of other laws, you can draw the powerful power you need from here. You have just entered the realm of body refining and just can absorb a lot of the essence needed to reshape your body. Let's go, I'll take you there."

"oh……"

The master and apprentice walked straight along the stone steps.

On both sides, there are rolling and bubbling blood-colored pools, and the spiritual energy is indescribable. The pools are separated and incompatible with each other in irregular forms. Some are full of death, some are full of flames, and some are full of various violent and chaotic auras. There are turbulent flows over the blood pool, hiding endless murderous intent.

"Swish~~~"

At this moment, a figure fell from the sky, and it was a big beauty in a long red dress. Her starry eyes were like water, her red lips were like fire, and her graceful figure made people feel dry and dry at first glance. She also looked familiar. She landed directly from the sky between me and Ding Heng. Her beautiful nose approached and sniffed. Her beautiful eyes were full of doubts: "Is this little thing again? Why... that annoying breath disappeared in an instant..."

Ding Heng was startled and turned around and smiled, "Fengyuntai Ding Heng, see Lord Yunyue!"

"Hmph, Old Man Ding!"

She hugged her arms and smiled proudly: "What are you doing with this little skeleton?"

"He is called Qiuyue Liuhuo, and he is my disciple, who comes here to practice."

"He is the pride of the Fengyuntai?"

Yun Yue turned her face and looked at me again. Her starry eyes were full of doubt and she smiled lazyly, "Can't you tell me~~~"

I grinned, trying to refute but didn't know where to refute. I still remember seeing her when I first came to Black Castle. I always felt that this woman was definitely not easy to mess with. People who dared to call her master Old Man Ding, such a woman... I'm afraid her status is far above Ding Heng.
