Next, the two went straight to the Burmese store. After collecting necessary supplies at the foot of the mountain, they went up to the holy peak overnight and entered the secret realm.
"How is the situation of the ancient martial arts sect these days?" Ye Xiong asked after entering the secret realm.
"People's hearts are scattered. More and more people are leaving the ancient martial arts sect. Almost two-thirds of the people in the Yin Sect have also left and entered the path of cultivation." Murong Ruyin sighed, looking very heartbroken.
"As people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. Sooner or later, the cultivation sect will replace the ancient martial arts and become the mainstream of this world." Ye Xiong's eyes fell on Murong Ruyin and persuaded him: "Ruyin, you'd better consider me carefully.
In other words, sometimes people's thoughts have to follow the times, and they can't be so pedantic. Why do you still stick to Guwu when you know it has no future?"
Murong Ruyin fell silent immediately, seeming to be thinking about it.
Ye Xiong knew that she was a conservative person and did not force her. Yinmen had been kind to her and she had always been worried about this.
"What state are you in now?" Ye Xiong asked.
"At the late stage of the fourth level of Qi, my master gave me a lot of resources, plus the pills you gave me, so I broke through. But no matter what, I couldn't break through to the fifth level of Qi." Murong Ruyin said.
"Advancing to the fifth level of Zhenqi is more difficult than the fifth level of Qi refining. If you don't plan to transfer to Zhenqi, you will probably end up with ancient martial arts in your life."
Ye Xiong is not lying. The current leaders of the four major sects are also at the late stage of the fourth level of Qi. One card can last more than ten or twenty years.
"If you can transform into a true cultivator, with the resources of the secret realm of Holy Peak Mountain, it will be a matter of time before you break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining. It is not impossible to even reach the foundation building stage and embark on the road to immortality." Ye Xiong continued.
"Let me think about it for a while. I have to explain it to my master." Murong Ruyin still couldn't decide.
"I hope you will hurry up. While I am still in this world, I will go to another world in one year." Ye Xiong said.
Murong Ruyin's body trembled and she quickly asked what was going on.
Ye Xiong told him that he had to go to the world of cultivation, but he did not say the reason. After all, it was related to the secret of the evil spirit.
He just said that he had a compelling reason and had to go to the world of cultivation.
When Murong Ruyin heard that there were rules between realms and that one could not travel freely between realms, she stopped talking.
This means that she will have to separate from Ye Xiong within a year at the earliest, and they will never see each other again in this life.
Unless she can follow him to the world of cultivation.
"Let's have a night's rest. Starting tomorrow, you will collect the elixir and I will get an iron and resin-forged sword."
The two slept in the cave for one night. Since there was only one bed, Murong Ruyin slept on the bed and Ye Xiong slept on the ground.
In the middle of the night, the moonlight shines like water on the entrance of the cave, covering it with a layer of silver gauze.
Murong Ruyin was lying on the bed. Although her body didn't move, she didn't feel sleepy at all.
When she thought about not being able to see this man again after a year, she felt very lost.
Thinking of everything she had with this man, Murong Ruyin had mixed feelings and secretly made a decision in her heart.
Early the next morning, as soon as Ye Xiong woke up, Murong Ruyin said: "Ah Xiong, I have seriously considered it and am planning to switch to a cultivation path."
"That's great." Ye Xiong was immediately very happy and quickly taught her the "True Essence Transformation Method" and protected her.
When Ye Xiong used the method of converting true energy, it was only at the early stage of the third level of Qi refining, and it was already so difficult.
Murong Ruyin is now at the late stage of the fourth level of Qi, so the success rate of conversion is even lower and more dangerous.
It can be said that her current choice has certain risks.
"Ruyin, have you thought about it clearly?" Ye Xiong asked again.
"I've thought it through."
Murong Ruyin sat cross-legged on the stone cave bed, waiting for her body to adjust to the best condition before starting to convert her true energy.
She knew that this conversion was very difficult, but after actually implementing it, she found that it was even more difficult than she had imagined.
In her life, she had never experienced such pain, and she could barely hold on several times.
Ye Xiong watched from the side and saw how painful she was. He couldn't help but speak out several times to ask her to give up.
But Murong Ruyin knew that if she gave up now, she would never see this man again in this life.
When her body is overloaded, the only thing that can keep her going is faith.
It is this belief that allows her to overcome many obstacles, transform her Dantian, and open up her inner world time and time again.
A full day and night passed, and just when Murong Ruyin could hardly bear her faith, suddenly there was a new space in her mind, and her body suddenly felt comfortable, as if she had been reborn from Nirvana.
Later she learned that it was the source of power for cultivators, the inner world.
Murong Ruyin looked haggard and disheveled, like a madwoman.
But at this moment, she couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly hugged Ye Xiong tightly.
"It was successful, I was successfully transformed, and now I am a cultivator." Murong Ruyin cried with joy.
"Congratulations, you are a successful cultivator." Ye Xiong was moved by her and patted her shoulder.
Only then did Murong Ruyin realize that she was so excited just now that she hugged Ye Xiong and quickly let go.
"I didn't mean it, I was just too excited." She explained quickly.
"I understand, you don't need to say anything."
Ye Xiong was a little reluctant to let go. Murong Ruyin's embrace was so comfortable that he couldn't bear to let go.
"First take some pills to stabilize your state, wait a few days, and then try again to see if you can break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining in one go."
Murong Ruyin nodded. She also hoped to break through the realm as soon as possible and then be able to follow Ye Xiong to the other realm.
After being worried about Murong Ruyin for two days, Ye Xiong immediately started to do business. He first went to the iron tree to collect a batch of iron resin.
The iron tree is still guarded by colorful birds, but Ye Xiong is familiar with it and can collect a batch of iron resin without taking risks.
The iron resin is very hard, and Ye Xiong spent a lot of time cutting out the iron resin.
The next step is to start forging these three swords. As long as you have forged these three swords with iron resin, you will be able to practice the second level of "Fire Sword Formation".
"Ruyin, you practice well in the cave. I'll forge these three swords first."
Ye Xiong originally wanted to go with Murong Ruyin, but the lava hell was too dangerous and he was afraid that she would be in danger, so he decided not to take her there.
"Let me go with you. I can protect you so that you won't be distracted when forging the sword." Murong Ruyin suggested.
"No, it's too dangerous there. I only suffered a loss once."
Ye Xiong firmly refused to take her there, so Murong Ruyin had no choice but to stay in the cave.
Ye Xiong headed towards the volcano with iron resin and three swords, and soon he arrived inside the volcano.
He had been to the lava hell several times and knew that there was an invincible magma beast here. He did not dare to go too deep. Instead, he walked to a place some distance away from the magma rock, tied up the iron resin with steel wires, and fished out the magma from high altitudes.
Here, the temperature of the magma is used to melt the hard iron resin and then forged.
