"Body Essence?"

This was the first time he had extracted something called Body Essence.

From what he read from his system' notes, Body Essence could be obtained from Magical Beasts and humans, especially cultivators who trained their bodies using body cultivation techniques.

Qin Yi also has several body cultivation techniques in the storage system but is he unwilling to practice them. That's mainly because practicing the body cultivation technique has a strenuous training process.

Every day, you need to temper your body in brutal ways, such as pulling large boulders, training under the pressure of waterfalls, doing marathons three times a day, etc.

Although the results are satisfactory, the process is very tiring and troublesome.

Radically, people need to think twice before deciding to practice body cultivation techniques because it is very time-consuming as the progress is so slow that it can hinder cultivation.

This factor was also the reason why Magical Beasts were so slow in cultivating since they needed to transform some of their spiritual energy into Body Essence.

———And here, the system was unexpectedly able to extract Body Essence to strengthen his physical body.

As expected from my system!

Qin Yi is proud of the system's performance.

The third gain is Hundred Year Old Willow Tree's Branch and Hundred Year Old Willow Tree's Root.

Although this Willow Tree's entire body contained spiritual energy, it primarily focused its spiritual energy around the branches and roots.

From what he saw from the name Magical Beast Skill he got, Willow Tree chose to do that mainly because it chose its branches and roots as weapons to attack the enemy.

Although this Magical Beast Skill is a paid skill, and it is no different from the martial arts that he usually learned in the sect, it is still something extraordinary that came out from Magical Beast.

Nevertheless, he was still happy that this Magical Beast Skill is an Earth Grade skill instead of Human Grade.

He looked at two points on his UI...

————

Cultivation Points: 45,000

Mastery Points: 200

————

Qin Yi felt a pity that his Mastery Point is still far from enough to master Earth Grade martial arts.

After all, unlike Human Grade martial arts, which only required 100 Mastery Points to fully master, Earth Grade martial arts required 1000 Mastery Points to master them fully.

1000 Mastery Points were equivalent to 100,000 Cultivation Points.

It is a massive number for Qin Yi.

Meanwhile, the distribution for mastering Earth Grade martial arts are:

100 Mastery Points for Small Accomplishment.

400 Mastery Points for Big Accomplishment.

500 Mastery Points for Great Accomplishment.

He currently had 200 Mastery Points, which was enough to master this Magical Beast Skill to Small Accomplishment, but truthfully he felt awkward.

He thought that he might as well master it fully since he had enough points, but with the number of points he currently possesses, it was impossible to do so.

Besides, he still has the Heaven Grade martial skill that he just got today. However, the number of Mastery Points required to master it was astronomical, which was 10,000 Mastery Points.

If possible, he would prefer to save his points to master Heaven Grade martial arts rather than Earth Grade martial arts.

Qin Yi's heart tangled for a while.

In the end, he decided to leave it for the time being.

He wasn't in a rush as he still had plenty of time to collect points in the future.

When he checked the system storage, he saw that Magical Beast Skill turned into a deep red book.

On the cover were written with the words "Magical Beast Skill - Bloody Wood Extension."

He immediately put the book into the Martial Art Room and separated it from the other martial arts books.

Since this Willow Tree didn't attack him, Qin Yi casually sat down and leaned back against its body.

He felt that today was a long day even though half a day had not even passed.

Maybe it was because he didn't expect that he would be caught by Li Hai and unknowingly got involved in such a troublesome thing.

"Hah... I want to go home~"

Time was ticking, and the day was getting closer to evening.

He suddenly thought that his task as a gardener at Hundred Flowers Garden might be an excuse to get away from Li Hai.

But what if Li Hai doesn't care about that?

After all, he could only blame himself for doing the wrong thing, and Li Hai was only carrying out his duties as a senior brother.

"Ah... what should I do?"

Qin Yi sighed as he yielded his body down.

For some reason, Willow Tree suddenly shook its branch as if it responded to Qin Yi' complaints.

Qin Yi was started.

"So, you actually noticed my presence? I thought that you were just sleeping and didn't notice it."

Willow Tree shook its branch once again.

"Haha, good fellow, mind if I stay here a little longer?" Qin Yi laughed and asked.

This time, Willow Tree shook its branch more gently.

Although Qin Yi did not understand what it wanted to convey, he felt goodwill from it, so he took its reponse as approval.

"Thank you, big fellow!"

He gently patted Willow Tree's body with his palm.

After that, he ignored the unceasingly shaking branches of Willow Tree and immediately opened the UI.

In just a day, he managed to accumulate 5000 Cultivation Points.

As expected, crowded places are the best place for him.

'I wonder, can I sneak out of the sect again and go to the market every day.' However, on second thought, he immediately brushed off that idea.

What if he was caught again by Li Hai like today?

Wouldn't that make Li Hai assume that this junior brother of his was a naughty violator who never learned from his mistakes?

Qin Yi shook his head as he repeatedly reminded himself.

"Not good, not good..."

Let's wait until I advance to the Third Stage of Qi Condensation Realm. After all, the disciples are allowed to leave the sect only when they reach the Third Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.

He already had plans to advance to the next level two months later, to be precise, before the Alchemist Apprentice Exam began.

Normally, it would take half a year with his aptitude to advance to that stage. However, staying in the Hundred Flowers Garden, a place rich in spiritual energy, could be used as an excuse for his rapid advancement.

In addition to the significant gain of Cultivation Points, he also obtained a new Spirit Artifact called the Soul Shaker Bell.

This artifact he got from Mo Xuan.

That guy is genuinely a gold bringer for Qin Yi. Not only gave him Heaven Grade martial skill, that guy also gave him Spirit Artifact.

What a nice guy!

I should thank him in another day~

However, Qin Yi heard that Mo Xuan is the most talented young man in his clan. He expected to get High-Grade aptitude from that guy, but instead, he only got Middle-Grade aptitude.

Indeed, High-Grade Aptitude is not like the cabbage that can be seen in the market as they are very difficult to find.

However, he was astonished by Mo Xuan's cultivation speed, which reached the Peak Ninth Stage of Qi Condensation at the age of twenty-nine.

That guy just needed a little push to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

How did he exactly do that with just Middle-Grade aptitude?

Did he perhaps cultivate by consuming a lot of pills?

If that's the case, it's no wonder he can advance so quickly that his advancement is even on par with someone with High-Grade aptitude.

However, doing so only limited Mo Xuan's future potential. Not only that, but his strength will also be weaker among his peers.

The reason he looked strong earlier in the market was probably due to him learning the Heaven Grade martial skills.

Although he could only master it by a small margin, it was enough to tyrannize an opponent like Huang Haoming, who had a low cultivation base and inferior martial skills.

"What a pity..."

Qin Yi muttered to himself.

Martial aptitude is upgradeable by using particular ways. However, the broken martial aptitude was a completely different story.

From what he learned from books, once it was broken, it would affect one's foundation and potential and was almost impossible to repair.

"That guy would probably have a hard time building his foundation."

Anyway, whether Mo Xuan builds his foundation or not, it doesn't matter to him.

However, it might be a piece of good news for the Huangs.

Coincidentally, just as Qin Yi was about to close his eyes to enter the system storage, Li Hai suddenly appeared not far in front of him
