“Not bad!”

Wu Guangyin’s face lit up with a faint smile when he saw the five jade tokens. He nodded slightly and said, “Go over there to register, and also make sure to count the contents of your package.”

“Alright.” Guo Linshan nodded, but he didn’t move. Instead, he looked toward Chen Fei.

Seeing Guo Linshan’s action, Wu Guangyin unexpectedly glanced at Chen Fei. Not only Wu Guangyin but even Feng Xiupu was also somewhat surprised as he looked at Chen Fei.

Guo Linshan’s gesture clearly indicated that Chen Fei should have also obtained the five jade tokens and wanted to go over to register together.

However, Chen Fei was only at the Marrow Tempering realm cultivation level.

From other disciples who had come out earlier, it was known that within the mystic realm, both demonic beasts and mystical ingredients had undergone significant mutations.

Cultivating at the Visceral Tempering realm within the mystic realm posed a threat to life if not cautious. And at the Marrow Tempering Realm, a slight lack of attention could lead to a situation of death.

Guo Linshan, being at the initial stage of the Visceral Tempering realm and managing to collect all five jade tokens, exceeded Wu Guangyin’s expectations. Even Feng Xiupu had little confidence in whether Guo Linshan could gather all five jade tokens.

After all, most of the cultivators undergoing trials in the mystic realm were at a similar level or even stronger.

Guo Linshan’s ability to obtain the five jade tokens was largely due to luck. Of course, luck sometimes was also a component of a person’s strength.

Chen Fei looked at the gazes of Wu Guangyin and the others, took out the five jade tokens from the package, and held them in his palm.

A glint flashed in Feng Xiupu’s eyes. Chen Fei had actually managed to collect all five jade tokens. For this time’s trial of true transmission, only Guo Linshan and Chen Fei from his sect participated, and both had obtained enough jade tokens.

Feng Xiupu had high expectations for Chen Fei, but those were mainly directed toward the true transmission trial several years later. He believed that Chen Fei obtaining the inheritance of a true disciple wouldn’t be an issue, but he was thinking about the future, not this time.

This time was more about letting Chen Fei experience it in advance and accumulate some experience for the true transmission trial a few years later.

Feng Xiupu never doubted whether Chen Fei could become a true disciple, but it certainly wouldn’t be in this trial. Moreover, since learning about the massive changes in the mystic realm, Feng Xiupu had some regrets.

He regretted allowing Chen Fei to participate in the trial so early. If any unexpected events occurred midway, that would be what vexed Feng Xiupu the most.

Fortunately, both Chen Fei and Guo Linshan had come out safely. And now, a huge surprise was unfolding before them.

“Excellent!”

Seeing the jade tokens in Chen Fei’s hand, Wu Guangyin’s eyes were filled with astonishment. Then he nodded slightly. Regardless of how Chen Fei managed to gather these five jade tokens, it was an achievement on Chen Fei’s part.

“Go ahead and register. Once you pass the test of character upon your return to the sect, you will also receive the inheritance of a true disciple.”

Wu Guangyin patted Chen Fei’s shoulder to encourage him. It had been many years since a disciple at the Marrow Tempering realm had qualified in the trial for true transmission.

The earliest instance dated back thirty years ago when a disciple like that emerged from within the sect. Unfortunately, this disciple became too impatient when attempting to break through to the Aperture Tempering realm and failed.

After gesturing their appreciation to Wu Guangyin and the others, Chen Fei and Guo Linshan walked toward the positions of the sect’s disciples responsible for registration.

At this moment, many people had their gaze fixed on the two of them, especially the fellow disciples participating in the trial. Their eyes were filled with envy.

The number of jade tokens in the hands of Chen Fei and Guo Linshan had already been seen by them. In this trial for true transmission, the two of them had become the ultimate winners.

Guo Linshan handed over the package to the disciple responsible for registration. Most of the mystical ingredients that could be consumed within the mystic realm had been directly ingested by Guo Linshan. Only those that couldn’t be immediately converted were kept.

Apart from the materials Guo Linshan had gathered himself, a significant portion had been acquired as spoils of battle from clashes with other cultivators.

The battles within the mystic realm were fierce, involving ambushes and counter-ambushes. However, it had to be said that it was precisely due to this element that the members of Guo Linshan’s team managed to gather enough jade tokens.

“All of it for exchange!”

“The total contribution value is 13,600 points.”

The disciple responsible for registration said softly, and a smile appeared on Guo Linshan’s face.

The sect had always been very fair in its acquisition of items from the mystic realm and would even offer a slight premium. So, handing over the gains from the mystic realm to the sect wouldn’t lead to any losses.

When it was Chen Fei’s turn to hand over his package, he left behind the materials needed to refine the spiritual sword and the herbs given by Bacca.

Chen Fei didn’t have much to offer to the sect. Most of what he had obtained had already been converted into his own strength.

3,100 contribution points.”

The disciple responsible for registration provided the number, and Chen Fei nodded slightly without objection.

Chen Fei and Guo Linshan returned to the side of Feng Xiupu, who couldn’t contain his smile. Having two more true disciple members in the sect was undoubtedly a joyful addition.

Feng Xiupu encouraged Chen Fei and Guo Linshan a few more times before letting them rest on the side.

As time passed, the number of people leaving the mystic realm gradually increased, and the noise level grew louder.

Chen Fei paid no attention to the outside world but instead continuously examined his own state. The most important aspect was, of course, the surge in his mental power.

During his time in the mystic realm, Chen Fei had vaguely sensed the presence of his acupoints. Now, as Chen Fei meditated in tranquility, that elusive feeling once again surfaced.

Without a dedicated method to measure his acupoints, Chen Fei didn’t dare to experiment at will for fear of damaging them, which would be more detrimental than beneficial.

However, not being able to pinpoint the acupoints precisely didn’t mean Chen Fei couldn’t observe them. As he concentrated his attention, especially with the meticulous control of the Thousand Origin Technique, that elusive sensation gradually became clearer.

Through the perspective of his mind, Chen Fei seemed to see a tiny point. This point wandered within a small area of his body and wasn’t fixed in one place.

At this stage, Chen Fei had roughly confirmed that this should be the location of a certain acupoint within the human body. To break through to the Aperture Tempering realm, he would need to use his mental power to stabilize the acupoint and then carefully excavate it.

The Aperture Tempering realm was essentially a process of continuously locating and then breaking through the acupoints.

Upon breaking through an acupoint, one would officially step into the Aperture Tempering realm, distancing oneself from cultivators at the Body Tempering realm. Not only would their combat power increase significantly, but their lifespan would also greatly extend.

Chen Fei had occasionally heard Feng Xiupu mention that the human body contained numerous acupoints, and advancing to the Aperture Tempering realm involved opening up these acupoints. The quantity of opened acupoints determined one’s cultivation and strength in the Aperture Tempering realm.

Of course, Chen Fei was still some distance away from this point. At that time, even Feng Xiupu had only briefly mentioned it without going into detail.

Chen Fei shifted his attention away from the concept of acupoints. There was no need to rush into the Aperture Tempering realm; he had just reached the Marrow Tempering realm. It would be more suitable to contemplate acupoints after breaking through to the Visceral Tempering realm.

With his mental power expanding, Chen Fei began to observe how the inner energy flowed through his meridians.

Since completely refining the Dreamlike Lotus and experiencing a doubling of his mental power, the operation of the Origin Connection Technique no longer required Chen Fei’s conscious effort.

The Origin Connection Technique automatically transported inner energy as if it had become instinctual—much like breathing or the beating of the heart. Chen Fei’s mental power had become proficient in controlling the continuous improvement of his inner energy cultivation.

Presently, Chen Fei was in a constant state of cultivating his inner energy. As for the burden on his meridians due to inner energy circulation, with the meticulous control of the Thousand Origin Technique, this burden was minimized.

Anyway, Chen Fei couldn’t sense any pressure on his meridians from his inner energy cultivation now. Everything felt natural, and even eating and sleeping didn’t impede his rapid increase in strength.

“No wonder the phase after Body Refining is Spirit Refining. The effect of mental power on strength growth is incredibly evident.”

Such thoughts crossed Chen Fei’s mind. His mental power was undoubtedly exceptional within the Marrow Tempering realm; the mental power of typical cultivators in this realm had a significant gap compared to Chen Fei’s.

Of course, there must also be cultivators in the Visceral Tempering realm with mental power intensity similar to Chen Fei’s, or even stronger.

The protection top-tier experts provided to their descendants exceeded ordinary people’s imagination. A treasure as precious as the Dreamlike Lotus, which was considered highly valuable within Chen Fei’s level, was likely viewed differently by top-tier experts.

Just as Chen Fei regarded the Flying Ascent Pill with a vastly different perspective compared to when he was in Pingyin County.

Back then, even the Flying Ascent Pill was hard to come by in Pingyin County.

This was due to standing at different levels and having completely different perspectives. One should never use their own viewpoint to speculate about those who are stronger than them.

Just as when Chen Fei saw the Exquisite Pearl within the mystic realm, he hadn’t imagined that even cultivators at the Body Tempering realm could use spiritual tools so effortlessly.

However, for families with top-tier experts, it wasn’t standard practice, but the difference was negligible.

Time passed quickly during cultivation. In just three days, the exit of the mystic realm closed, marking the complete end of this trial for true transmission.

There might still be disciples left inside the mystic realm, but given a three-day grace period, if you hadn’t come out by then, you wouldn’t be able to. Perhaps something was keeping you entangled, but the rule set by the four sects was clear.

Standing on the side, Chen Fei watched the people in the valley.

A month ago, there were over four hundred trial disciples who entered the mystic realm. Among them, roughly half were at the Visceral Tempering realm, and the other half at the Marrow Tempering realm.

Now, after a month had passed, there were fewer than fifty cultivators at the Marrow Tempering realm still standing here. Nearly two hundred of those in the Marrow Tempering realm were forever trapped within the mystic realm.

The Marrow Tempering realm suffered heavy losses, but the Visceral Tempering realm cultivators fared better.

Chen Fei estimated roughly. There were less than a hundred Visceral Tempering realm cultivators still standing here. Moreover, he had just heard from Guo Linshan that not every Visceral Tempering realm cultivator who came out had obtained all five jade tokens.

Many jade tokens were lost along with the deaths of true disciple candidates, scattered throughout the various dangerous locations within the mystic realm.

“Farewell, everyone!”

Wu Guangyin arched his hand towards Pu Yundong and the others, then turned and left the valley with the members of the Primordial Sword Sect.

The upheaval within the mystic realm and the trial for true transmission had been one of the most brutal in recent decades. Wu Guangyin needed to report the situation to the sect leader, and afterward, it was likely that the four sects would undertake a purification of this mystic realm.

Chen Fei speculated that the mystic realm was undergoing a transformation, which the likes of Wu Guangyin, Marrow Tempering realm experts, would undoubtedly have considered.

However, since they hadn’t truly entered the mystic realm, they were still unaware of the actual events transpiring within. They didn’t know what had happened and what kind of turmoil had led to such rapid changes..
