After being cleared of suspicion, Li Xing and six Inner Sect Disciples left Tianmo Hall one after another, followed by a large group of female Inner and Outer Sect Disciples entering the hall.
As for what kind of interrogation and punishment these female Disciples would receive, Li Xing had no way of knowing.
Back in his courtyard, Li Xing sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, attempting to gather wind-elemental Spiritual Qi from the Void Realm. At first, he didn't feel much, but as a strong gust of wind blew past, the peanut-sized Spiritual Qi vortex in his Dantian actually expanded to the size of a watermelon at a visible speed.
The wind-elemental Spiritual Qi within it became so dense that it transformed into a tornado, blowing out refreshing gusts of Spiritual Qi.
As the Spiritual Qi breeze brushed across his face, all dust was swept away, and the pores on his skin automatically opened, beginning to absorb Spiritual Qi and cleanse his body within the pores.
This indicated that the wind-elemental Spiritual Qi Li Xing had gathered had reached saturation, unable to store any more, and could only be refined into his body, otherwise, it would be a wasted effort.
Li Xing withdrew his own Spiritual Power and began to convert the wind-elemental Spiritual Power.
He himself possessed a Medium Grade wood-elemental Spiritual Root, and his Cultivation Technique was the Profound Grade Medium Grade 【Aoki Skill】. Operating this Cultivation Technique could accelerate the recovery of his own Spiritual Power and also imbue his Spiritual Power with certain healing effects.
As for Divine Ability, he had only learned the Profound Grade Medium Grade 【Wood Spirit Art】, which involved stimulating plants to form various natural traps to bind and entangle enemies.
Without a wind-elemental Cultivation Technique and Divine Ability, he naturally couldn't absorb wind-elemental Spiritual Power. He could only refine it into pure, unaligned Spiritual Power.
However, this would result in at least a sixty percent waste of Spiritual Power, making it far less efficient than directly absorbing wind-elemental Spiritual Power.
Fortunately, Li Xing was currently at Ling Yuan Realm Tenth Stage, and such a large amount of wind-elemental Spiritual Power was more than enough for him to Cultivate.
After spending most of an hour, Li Xing finally refined this mass of wind-elemental Spiritual Power.
Examining himself, he found that his Spiritual Power had increased significantly, causing him a surge of excitement.
Originally, Li Xing's Spiritual Power was only at the Early Stage of Ling Yuan Realm Tenth Stage, but now it was approaching the Middle Stage. This kind of Spiritual Power increase was an effect only achieved by absorbing a High-Grade Spirit Stone.
In other words, each time Li Xing gathered wind-elemental Spiritual Power, it was equivalent to obtaining a High-Grade Spirit Stone.
No, it was more than just a High-Grade Spirit Stone, because it was converted into unaligned Spiritual Power, and only forty percent of the actual Spiritual Power was utilized.
And Li Xing spent only three hours in total, from gathering Spiritual Power to converting it.
This meant he could absorb the equivalent of a High-Grade Spirit Stone every three hours, which was absolutely incredibly exaggerated.
One hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones could be exchanged for one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, and one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones could be exchanged for one High-Grade Spirit Stone.
Among the Outer Sect, a monthly allowance for an Outer Sect Disciple was only ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones. They also had to cover daily expenses for food, clothing, and other necessities, so the amount truly used for Cultivation might not even be half of that.
As for gathering Spiritual Qi oneself, it was a thankless and arduous task.
For instance, with Li Xing's previous Medium Grade wood-elemental Spiritual Root, gathering wood-elemental Spiritual Qi in the Reverse Demon Sect would take a full day and night to accumulate the equivalent of one Low-Grade Spirit Stone's worth of wood-elemental Spiritual Power.
During this time, one could not Move or do anything else, and any unexpected situation would lead to all efforts being in vain.
After all, converting Spiritual Power also required time. If one had to leave suddenly, the previously gathered Spiritual Power would not be absorbed in time.
In short, if ordinary Disciples did not have fortuitous encounters or rewards and relied on the meager monthly allowance from the Sect for Cultivation, they would probably never Breakthrough to the Fa Yuan Realm in their entire lives.
Of course, Outer Sect Disciples were not the most miserable.
The most miserable were those Utility Disciples in the Body Forging Realm, who ate worse than pigs, worked harder than oxen, and received no monthly allowance. To get Spirit Stones, they had to complete several months of utility tasks just to earn one Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Moreover, being in a Demon Sect, these Utility Disciples could become other people's cultivation cauldrons at any time, living a precarious existence.
Only upon entering the Outer Sect would one's Life safety be guaranteed.
Therefore, the Outer Sect, where Li Xing was currently located, was the paradise that those Utility Disciples dreamed of!
For the next three days, Li Xing spent his time Cultivating in his courtyard.
His Spiritual Power also increased day by day, from being stuck at Ling Yuan Realm Tenth Stage to now Ling Yuan Realm Great Perfection!
He was only half a step away from the Fa Yuan Realm, and his Breakthrough speed was incredibly fast!
The Cultivation Realms of a Cultivator are divided into:
【Body Forging Realm】, 【Ling Yuan Realm】, 【Fa Yuan Realm】, 【True Spirit Realm】, 【Nascent Divinity Realm】, 【Divine Sea Realm】, 【Immortal Realm】. Each major Realm has ten stages.
The difficulty of Cultivation definitely varies with different talents. With Li Xing's previous talent, he probably had no hope of Breaking through to the Fa Yuan Realm in his entire Life.
But now, in just three days, he had touched the threshold of the Fa Yuan Realm, a truly world-changing transformation!
These past few days, Li Xing also tried to enter the state of being enchanted, wanting to touch those Great Dao Profound Light once again.
However, he tried several times without success. In fact, even when his consciousness entered that magnificent and boundless li xing's past life divine soul, he would feel a sense of heaviness and effort.
What was consumed was not actual physical strength, but his Mental Energy.
After casually controlling li xing's past life divine soul for fifteen minutes, Li Xing would become extremely fatigued and then directly fall into a deep sleep, sleeping for four or five hours.
Therefore, each attempt Li Xing made was before going to sleep.
In three days, a total of eighteen hours were spent sleeping, and the actual Cultivation time was only eighteen hours.
However, after multiple attempts, Li Xing also discovered that the duration of each Divine Soul manipulation was increasing, and his own Divine Soul was actually growing along with it.
Originally, his own Divine Soul was only the size of a peanut, but now it had grown to the size of a teacup, more than a hundred times larger than before.
But looking from the perspective of the magnificent and boundless li xing's past life divine soul, his own Divine Soul still appeared to be the size of a peanut, seemingly not much different.
However, Li Xing also understood one thing: as his own Divine Soul grew, the time he could control li xing's past life divine soul would gradually increase.
Li Xing was not in a hurry to test his wind-elemental Spiritual Root.
The main reason was fear of suspicion; staying quietly in his own courtyard was the safest option right now.
Although he had awakened li xing's past life divine soul, ultimately, he was only at the Ling Yuan Realm Tenth Stage cultivation. Any Inner Sect Core Disciple could easily kill him into dust.
Ling Yuan Realm Tenth Stage actually allowed entry into the Inner Sect, but Li Xing had a Talismanic Incantation on him that concealed his cultivation, set by a Nascent Divinity Realm Peak expert, directly suppressing five Realms.
On the surface, Li Xing's aura only registered as Ling Yuan Realm Fifth Stage.
And Ling Yuan Realm Fifth Stage and Ling Yuan Realm Sixth Stage were the dividing line between the Inner and Outer Sects, because upon reaching the Sixth Stage, one could Cultivate a Divine Ability and possess Divine Ability means.
However, Ling Yuan Realm Fifth Stage could only use Spiritual Power to perform ordinary Martial Arts Moves, equivalent to a Martial Forest expert among Mortals.
No matter how strong a Martial Forest expert was, they could not surpass the unpredictable Divine Ability; this was the difference!
While Li Xing was Cultivating during this period, the interrogation room of the Law Enforcement Hall was filled with wails of misery.
Xin Gan, wearing a dark gold robe and with a deep aura of gloom between his brows, walked into the interrogation room.
A thin, black-robed Law Enforcement Elder immediately came forward, his face full of fawning smiles: "Hall Master, why did you come in person? We weren't prepared. Quick, quick, quickly bring a chair!"
"No need!" Xin Gan waved his hand and asked with a gloomy face, "How is the interrogation going? Have you found out who leaked the Young Sect Master's whereabouts, and which Sect ambushed the Young Sect Master?"
"This... We used all sorts of tortures and searched memories one by one, but we still haven't found out who leaked the Young Sect Master's whereabouts!" The black-robed Elder said honestly.
He dared not fool him; Xin Gan was a Nascent Divinity Realm expert, and his Soul Transformation methods were a hundred times more profound than his.
"Hmph, trash, all of you are trash. The Sect Master has already given a death order, to find the culprit within one month, otherwise, he will use thunderous means to directly cleanse the entire Reverse Demon Sect. Do you know the consequences then?" Xin Gan gritted his teeth, his expression extremely severe.
The black-robed Elder trembled with fear and immediately knelt on the ground, hastily saying, "Hall Master, it's not that we didn't try hard, it's just that there really isn't that spy here! How about we arrest more suspects for severe torture? I think among those Inner and Outer Sect Disciples, there might still be spies!"
Xin Gan waved his hand and said, "No need, I already have arrangements for those seven people!"
Then he glanced at the interrogation room again, somewhat displeased, and said, "Look at you all, always making a mess. Quickly clean it up for me! Since there's no spy, there's no need to investigate further. Refine all the remaining residual souls. Now, you have a new task: go investigate those Core Inner Sect Disciples!"
"Yes!"
Inside the interrogation room, the Law Enforcement Disciples and Law Enforcement Elders all breathed a sigh of relief.
Working overtime for three days had exhausted them, and now they could finally leave the interrogation room and Move around for a while.
...
In the back hall of the Law Enforcement Hall, Xin Gan narrowed his eyes.
Opposite him was the enchanting Tang Xueling, dressed in a thin red gauze, twisting her delicate body, highlighting every feature that could tempt one to commit a crime, exuding ultimate allure.
After a sensual dance, a thin layer of sweat beads appeared on Tang Xueling's fair skin, and even the thin red gauze clung to her body, making her appear even more exquisite and graceful.
"Master, how was my Tianmo Dance?"
Tang Xueling gently bit her rosy lips, her eyes hazy as she looked at Xin Gan, with a hint of seductive demonic light in her eyes.
Xin Gan stood with his hands behind his back, unmoved: "The Tianmo Dance has a total of seven stages. Your third stage Tianmo Dance is useless to me. To influence the mind of a Nascent Divinity Realm, you need to Cultivate the Tianmo Dance to at least the fifth stage. Also, your own cultivation needs to improve. You are only at True Spirit Realm Fifth Stage, still too weak! Compared to the geniuses of immortal Dao Schools of the same period, you are still far, far behind!"
"Understood, Master!" Tang Xueling lowered her head, but a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
She wasn't aiming to be a Genius; she just needed to be the woman of a Genius!
However, to be the queen of a Genius, letting those Geniuses fight and kill for her, that was the true strong one.
But the moment she raised her head, Tang Xueling's eyes were filled with respect again. After wiping the sweat from her forehead and tying up her long hair, she asked, "Master, how is the investigation into that spy?"
Xin Gan's face darkened: "Those people were not the culprits!"
"Then what should we do? How about we bring those seven people over and use Soul Transformation?"
"Hmm... Let's not. Our Reverse Demon Sect only has these few promising talents left. If we eliminate them all, we'll have no successors! However, we can't be careless. Just proceed according to the plan I arranged earlier!"
"Master, I don't know if I should say this, but actually, on the True Disciple side..."
"That side is being personally investigated by the Sect Master, you don't need to inquire about it!"
"Yes!"
"Your main task is to secretly investigate those seven people. If it's confirmed that there are no problems, I will Cultivate them as Core Disciples of our Reverse Demon Sect. In the future, they will all become our people, which is also part of my plan!"
"Yes!"
...
Xin Gan laid out his arrangements one by one, finally looking towards the Outer Sect with his dark eyes, almost imperceptibly uttering two words: "Li Xing!"
Tang Xueling, directly opposite him, naturally understood the lip movement and her eyes widened instantly.
