In the cultivation room, Qinchuan sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly circulating the Thunder Devouring Art. He crazily absorbed the spiritual energy from the two mid-grade thunder spirit stones in his hands. In just a moment, the two mid-grade thunder spirit stones were sucked into dregs.
In just two hours, Qinchuan had consumed as many as a hundred mid-grade thunder spirit stones. If it weren't for Qin Jue's limited supply, Qinchuan wouldn't have been able to afford it with his current wealth.
However, although the consumption was a bit large, the harvest was also extremely astonishing. Qinchuan's cultivation had successfully advanced from the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm!
Whoosh!
Qinchuan ended his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of turbid air. He stood up and stretched his body a little. He smiled and muttered to himself, "I really didn't expect that this matter would be a blessing in disguise. It actually allowed me to smoothly break through to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm."
During this period of time, Qinchuan didn't cultivate particularly hard. Everything was natural. In Qinchuan's opinion, there were two reasons why he was able to smoothly break through to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. One was naturally because of the overdraft this time, his body was extremely thirsty for power. It longed for the feeling of his entire body being filled with power. When he cultivated, he couldn't help but want to absorb more power. Just like that, he broke through the bottleneck and entered a higher realm. The other reason was because Azure Dragon Cang Hao had removed the seal in his body, allowing him to cultivate without any hindrance. With the combination of these factors, his realm naturally increased.
For Qinchuan, being able to raise his strength to a higher level before entering the mysterious Carefree Secret Realm was naturally a good thing. This way, he would be more confident in his future trip to the Carefree Secret Realm.
"Congratulations."
Qin Jue slowly walked over and looked at Qinchuan who had just broken through. "Your cultivation speed is faster than I thought."
It had only been a few months since Qinchuan had advanced to the Foundation Establishment realm. To be able to advance to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm so quickly, it could be said that he was a very talented person.
"Thank you."
Qinchuan chuckled and said, "After breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, I should have some ability to protect myself in the Carefree Secret Realm."
Hearing Qinchuan mention the Carefree Secret Realm, Qin Jue's expression changed slightly. He said, "I know that you promised the Qin Clan to represent the Qin Clan in entering the Carefree Secret Realm. Actually, this matter is not beneficial to you."
"I know it won't benefit me, but I don't have a choice, do I?"
Qinchuan smiled faintly. "Between working for the Qin Clan and dying, anyone who isn't an idiot knows what to choose."
Qin Jue was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, even if you don't agree, you won't die."
"Compared to betting on whether Qin Chongxiao will kill me, I prefer to take the initiative."
"Qin Chongxiao? Is this how you address him?"
"Yes, Qin Chongxiao. It's just a name. It has no other meaning."
Qin Jue was a little sad. She knew in her heart that Qinchuan did not agree with the Qin Clan, nor did he treat the people of the Qin Clan as his family. However, when she heard Qinchuan call Qin Chongxiao by his name and not by his grandfather, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Do you know what the key that the Qin Clan wants you to snatch represents?"
Qin Jue looked at Qinchuan with a complicated expression and said, "That key is in charge of the opening and closing of the Carefree Secret Realm. Whoever has that key is equivalent to controlling the Carefree Secret Realm!
And you should be very clear about the meaning of the Carefree Secret Realm. "
"So that's how it is."
Qinchuan nodded in understanding. Originally, he thought that the key could open a certain treasure, but he didn't expect that it could open the entire Carefree Secret Realm. It had to be said that the Qin Clan's appetite was really big.
After knowing the importance of the key, Qinchuan began to think about another problem. Since the Qin Clan knew how important the key was, the other clans would definitely know as well. When the time came, in order to fight for the key, there would definitely be some battles.
"Can you kill people in the Carefree Secret Realm?"
Hearing Qinchuan raise this question, Qin Jue couldn't help but look deeply at Qinchuan and said, "Of course killing is allowed in the Carefree Secret Realm. However, it's best not to be seen by others. Otherwise, when you come out, some people might not let you off."
Qinchuan nodded and said, "I understand. Those who kill will be killed by others."
Seeing Qinchuan's calm appearance, Qin Jue couldn't help but ask, "Qinchuan, have you killed anyone before?"
"No." Qinchuan shook his head honestly and said, "I've killed demons, but I've never killed anyone."
Qinchuan had never killed anyone before, but if he really wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't be merciful. The cultivation world was so cruel. Being soft-hearted to others was being heartless to oneself. Qinchuan understood this logic.
Hearing this, Qin Jue looked at Qinchuan with a faint gaze and said, "I hope that when you return from the Carefree Secret Realm, you will still be the youth I'm familiar with."
Qinchuan grinned and said, "Don't worry, I will always be Qinchuan."
… ….
The military headquarters' actions were faster than Qin Jue had imagined. The rewards she had applied for were quickly approved and all of them were satisfied. As for the matter of transforming into a battleship force, after some discussion, the military headquarters finally made a decision to temporarily transform the tenth legion into a half-battleship force. The complete transformation would be completed within the next three years.
After receiving the military's approval, Qin Jue wasn't surprised. Currently, most of the battleships produced by the military headquarters were supplied to the First, Second, and Third Legions far away in the World Mountain. In addition to the battleships supplied to the other legions and local troops, it was rather difficult for the military headquarters to take out hundreds of battleships in one go to completely transform the tenth legion. First, transforming the tenth legion into a half-battleship force, and then gradually transforming it into a complete battleship force was more reasonable, and Qin Jue could accept it.
For Qin Jue, the most difficult thing was to apply for it. As long as he took the most crucial step, the rest would naturally be easier.
As for the rewards, the military headquarters did not provide the Qin Clan with top-grade thunder spirit stones. Instead, they took out three high-grade thunder spirit stones and one top-grade spirit stone. Qin Jue was not surprised by this and could accept it as well. As for Qinchuan, he had long been prepared to draw water with a bamboo basket. At this moment, being able to obtain three high-grade thunder spirit stones and one top-grade spirit stone could definitely be said to be a pleasant surprise.
In terms of the final sword technique, the military headquarters gave him three choices. They were the "Army Breaking Sword Technique", "Killing Sword Technique", and "Absolute Sword". Among these three sword techniques, Qinchuan could only choose one of them. After a simple understanding, Qinchuan decisively chose the "Absolute Sword".
Now that he had the sword technique, there was another problem that Qinchuan needed to solve. He needed a good sword.
