Looking at the new "Taixu Wudingqi" and "Fengying Wuhen" on the system panel, Zhong Lin suppressed his inner excitement.

"System, give me more."

With a command, countless memories of cultivation flooded into his mind.

"Taixu Wudingqi" is a top-grade heavenly skill that only inner disciples are qualified to practice. It is the fundamental law of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.

The Tao is a trinity: emptiness, nothingness, and void. Emptiness is white; white encompasses nothingness. Nothingness is yellow; yellow encompasses red. Red represents emptiness. What is emptiness? Emptiness is pure and bright, luminous yet formless. It is like the sun, moon, and fire: their brilliance is pure and bright, yet without form or substance, hence emptiness. What is nothingness? Nothingness is qi. Qi has a visible form, but no tangible substance, hence emptiness.

As the memories of cultivation flooded in out of nowhere, the Dan Yuan that had originally shrunk into the Xuan Dan suddenly began to move out of thin air, flowing in a mysterious path.

A moment later, a force of Taixu was generated out of thin air and filled the entire Dantian.

Although this Taixu power was weak, its high quality caused the entire Xuandan to tremble slightly, and a sense of desire emanated from it.

"The Great Void is formless, the essence of Qi. Its gathering and dispersion change into various forms. What a great void, without fixed Qi."

Zhong Lin suddenly opened his eyes and felt the Taixu Qi in his Dantian. Putting aside other things, the quality of this power alone was far higher than the Danyuan cultivated by the "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong". It can only be said that it is worthy of being a top-grade heavenly skill. No wonder the disciples of the holy land are invincible at the same level.

Then Zhong Lin smiled bitterly again: "The Five Elements Primordial Qi is only a top-grade earth-level skill, a whole grade lower than the Great Void Infinite Qi. Trying to integrate it into it is like a python swallowing an elephant. I'm afraid I'll end up stuffing myself to death!"

However, Zhong Lin did not intend to give up "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong". What suits him is always the best. The novels in his previous life had already given him enough answers.

As the saying goes: Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die.

In martial arts practice, we can only learn from the paths of our predecessors. If we want to reach the top, we must forge our own path.

If an ordinary warrior wants to forge his own path, he must first complete the path of others, so that he can open up his own path.

But who made Zhong Lin cheat?
With the help of the system panel, you can absorb countless cultivation experiences and integrate them. With a bird's-eye view, you can naturally pave your own way in advance.

Although the road is a bit muddy and tortuous, it can lay a solid foundation.

A tall building rises from the ground, but life can only be... Ugh!

"Don't worry, take your time. With the 'Taixu Wuding Qi', I can slowly modify the 'Five Elements Hunyuan Gong' and integrate it bit by bit. Then I can collect some other heavenly-level techniques. One day, I will create my own peerless magic skill."

With a thought, he swallowed the Taixu Qi swirling outside his dantian in one gulp.

The movement of Dan Yuan has changed slightly compared to some of its previous movements. It is these changes that make the movement of Dan Yuan smoother and the speed of absorbing the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth faster.

Although it's currently impossible to integrate Taixu Wudingqi into Wuxing Hunyuan Gong, it's possible to utilize some of its essence to optimize Wuxing Hunyuan Gong and increase the speed of cultivation. Zhong Lin then turned his attention to Fengying Wuhen. With the influx of skill points, countless cultivation experiences emerged.

"Wind Shadow Without Trace" is not a physical skill, but a supreme sword technique, and it is the way of the fast sword.

With the extremely high sword speed, the sword moves are so fast that they leave countless afterimages, making it impossible to grasp the true trajectory. Wherever the sword energy passes, it is like a breeze blowing on the face, leaving no trace, but killing the enemy invisibly.

According to the experience passed down from memory, when "Wind Shadow Without Trace" is practiced to a high level, the sword energy can move instantly and burst out at a speed several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times faster than the sound. With one move, it can shatter a person's body and kill the soul. No one can stop it.

"Hmm? Is the sword intent still growing?"

Feeling the growing sword intent, Zhong Lin's expression suddenly changed.

"I've already pushed my sword intent to 100% perfection, so why is it still growing? Could it be that perfection isn't the limit of sword intent?"

There was no experience to follow in practicing sword skills. Zhong Lin had not yet met a warrior who was better than him in sword skills. He had no choice but to cross the river by feeling the stones, with no one to help him.

"Regardless of the situation, increasing your sword will isn't a bad thing. However, I can't miss the Heavenly Sword Holy Land's ten-year competition. I must become a disciple as soon as possible and seek guidance from a renowned teacher."

Every ten years, the Heavenly Sword Holy Land holds a competition for outer disciples. Those who achieve a certain ranking will be rewarded by the holy land, whether it is a magic pill, a secret technique, or a mysterious weapon.

These are not the most important things. Every time there is a competition, there will be some elders coming to watch. If you perform well enough in the competition, you may even be noticed by these elders and accepted as a disciple.

That is the real carp leaping over the dragon gate and reaching heaven in one step.

Zhong Lin naturally did not want to miss this opportunity. The Juying Club was a good platform, and so was becoming a disciple.

Martial arts practice is never done behind closed doors. Although there is a system to help, many things still require guidance from others. Putting aside other things, the state after the perfection of sword intent is enough to make Zhong Lin feel at a loss. Without anyone's guidance, he has no idea how to practice next.

So Zhong Lin planned to find a famous teacher for himself. He would not allow himself to miss this competition and must give his all.

As for hiding one's strength and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?

What a joke.

The practice of martial arts is that if you don't make progress, you will regress. If you hide carefully, you will really become a pig. If you are not envied by others, you are mediocre. If you want to make further progress in martial arts practice, you must fight, fight for everything that is useful to you.

He shook his head, clearing away the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

"The Outer Disciple Competition is still some time away. What we need to do now is to improve our cultivation and refine the Dragon Tiger Pill first. No matter what, strength always comes first."

Now here, Zhong Lin got up and left Liuxuan Pavilion and went to the medicine garden of Juying Peak. He received ten batches of medicinal materials for refining Dragon and Tiger Pills and then returned.

Only three Dragon and Tiger Pills are needed for ten portions of medicinal materials. As for the others, they are lost. With Zhong Lin's full-level alchemy skills, the success rate of the pills is as high as over 80%, which means that the remaining five are his.

This is also the advantage of the alchemist. With skills, you will never starve no matter where you go.

Of course, this is also because Zhong Lin has a cheat. It would be a blessing for other alchemists to have a 40% success rate.

A "Do Not Disturb" sign was hung on the door, and Zhong Lin began to retreat and refine the elixir.
