Divine Seal: Six Paths of Reincarnation, I am the Crown-Rank Assassin

Chapter 56 Breakthrough to the Seventh Rank, Star Seeking City
With diligent cultivation, one can be guaranteed at least to reach the eighth rank, and it's not impossible to break through to the ninth rank, although the probability is very small.

"Everyone here has quite a bit of talent, Liu Xian, don't be discouraged. Perhaps an opportunity will come your way."

Yan Qianqiu encouraged him.

They were all quite talented, even more so than they had expected.

He had long suspected something was fishy about that lucky draw.

Come to think of it.

Advancement in the Demon Hunter Team requires a certain level of cultivation for each member. If someone with lower talent (around level 40) drags down the others, it will affect the entire team.

"Do not take it for the time being after receiving it."

Yan Qianqiu pushed the pills in front of each person, gesturing for them to accept them.

"Thank you, Commander." Everyone's face showed sincere gratitude.

They didn't refuse, after all, everyone was part of a team.

"Liu Xian, this is for you separately." Yan Qianqiu took out the Holy Light Staff and placed it on the table.

A crystal of light was inlaid at the top of the staff. She gently stroked the staff with her palm and said excitedly, "This is made of the heartwood of the Light Elm tree, a Brilliant-grade staff!"

The staff she used before was only of the Spirit Demon level, which was considered relatively poor equipment within the team.

However, for other members of the Demon Hunter team, the Spirit Demon level equipment is definitely a very good piece of equipment.

It is sufficient for use up to level 5 and level 9.

Yang Wenzhao didn't even have any Brilliant-level equipment, which speaks volumes.

Yan Qianqiu clapped his hands, and after the girls focused their attention on him, he said, "A priest's spiritual power is like our life force, and its importance is self-evident."

"This staff can reduce the loss of holy magic power and also comes with the protection of holy light, increasing the power recovery speed of everyone within its range. It can be said that it is an improvement for each of us."

“Commander…” Liu Xian’s eyes were watery.

Yan Qianqiu smiled, then took out a piece of Shadow Light Armor.

"The Glorious Peak Light Armor, its price is enough to buy two pieces of light leather armor, this is for my Cai'er."

Cai'er's earlobes turned red, and she felt very sweet inside. She reached out her fair hand to take the light nail and gently stroked its warmth.

Glorious-grade equipment can even be used up to Tier 7.

"I love dog food, woof woof." Bai Xiaomo put her hands in front of her and barked like a puppy.

"Teasing me? You're asking for it." Cai'er laughed and reached out to pinch her chubby cheek.

Yan Qianqiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

It normally takes seven days to absorb the Holy Spirit Pill, and he didn't want to waste that time here.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"It's me, Lin Xin."

The young man came over and brought them some medicine.

The bottle contained six Crimson Fire Spirit Pills and six Exploding Spirit Pills.

"This is a newly developed medicine that can increase casting speed by forty percent. Not bad, right?" He looked at everyone with a smile.

"You really should consider specializing in alchemy," Yan Qianqiu suggested, taking the bottle of pills.

There are several newly developed elixirs, which is enough to show the young man's talent in alchemy.

"Hey, alchemy is just a hobby." Lin Xin tossed his long, dark green hair.

"Show-off!" Tan Wan laughed and scolded.

After seeing Lin Xin off, everyone prepared to rest.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and Yan Qianqiu rented a luxurious carriage and headed to Zhennanguan.

The Holy Temple Alliance is located in the northwest corner of the Holy Demon Continent, with the other three-quarters of its area within the territory of the Demon Race.

The demon race divided its territory into twenty-four provinces, with a demon god presiding over each region.

Their destination was the southeastern part of the Central Province of the Demon Realm.

The shortest distance is from Zhennanguan.

It took seven days to travel by carriage to Starseeking City, the southeastern border of the Temple Alliance.

Yan Qianqiu opened his eyes, his body radiating the oppressive aura of a seventh-tier King's Thorn. But in a fleeting moment, it was quickly concealed by his aura.

After taking the Holy Spirit Pill and cultivating for a week in the carriage, the young man's spiritual power successfully broke through the 10,000 mark.

The seventh-tier barrier did not hinder his progress, nor did it even qualify as a speed bump; he successfully broke through to the seventh tier.

The remaining effects of the Holy Spirit Pill also boosted his spiritual power to 11,000.

A rough estimate suggests that this seventh-grade pill provided him with not just 1,000 spiritual power, but as much as 1,600.

Cai'er was the second to open her eyes. At this time, her cultivation had also successfully broken through to the sixth level, and her spiritual power reached about 4,700, barely reaching the second level of the sixth level.

Yan Qianqiu felt a burning heat from a pendant on his chest. He took the pendant out of his pocket and stared at the necklace that emitted a faint, strange orange light.

"What's wrong?" Cai'er asked.

"The protective pendant my mother left me is reacting," Yan Qianqiu pondered.

This is the first time in my life that I've shown any reaction.

Yan Qing had carefully examined this pendant a long time ago, but couldn't determine its grade.

The boy wore it as a token of his mother's affection.

"Has Uncle Yan told you about Auntie's situation?" the girl asked.

“No, I asked him before, but he wouldn’t tell me.” Yan Qianqiu shook his head.

He guessed that his mother was not dead. Otherwise, he wouldn't only offer incense to his grandparents during the annual memorial service.

"Let's go to Xingxun City to rest first," Yan Qianqiu said.

The boy thought to himself, "Could my mom be a demon?"

It's really frustrating.

Yan Qianqiu exhaled and lightly snapped his fingers. The other four opened their eyes and exited their cultivation state.

Starseeker City is also one of the medium-sized cities in the human world.

As a medium-sized city, it only has a branch temple for knights, magicians, and warriors.

Yan Qianqiu led the group into Xingxun City and rested at the Holy Alliance Inn. The suite had three double rooms, all connected together.

Six people were sitting in the living room.

Yan Qianqiu looked at Tan Wan and Fei Lengcui, "Do you two have a way to contact the higher-ups of the Starseeking Magic and Warrior Branch Hall?"

Florence shook her head.

Tan Wan nodded, "I brought my teacher's identity token. If needed, each branch hall master must cooperate with me."

Bai Xiaomo and Liu Xian blinked. "Sister Tan, you're so amazing! Who's your teacher?"

"My teacher is Li Zhengzhi, the Lord of the Magic Temple, and I am his only disciple," Tan Wan chuckled. "However, today I respect my teacher, and in the future, he will surely be proud of me!"

They blinked and exclaimed, "Palace Master Li Zhengzhi is only in his sixties, right? He seems to be the number one expert among humans."

Tan Wan said, "It's not just a suspicion, it's a certainty!"

Recalling past conversations,

Her teacher didn't even respect the Divine Knights, calling them—cripples who only knew how to sit in wheelchairs and swagger around.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

"The task of contacting the higher-ups of the Starseeking Magic Branch is entrusted to you," Yan Qianqiu said.

"No problem." Tan Wan's words revealed strong confidence.

With Tan Wan's introduction, Yan Qianqiu and the others successfully met with the higher-ups of the Magic Branch Hall.

“This is Li Zhiming, the deputy head of the Starseeking Magic Hall,” Tan Wan said.

"You're too kind." The middle-aged man looked at Tan Wan with a respectful expression.

Tan Wan nodded, which was considered a greeting.

She continued, “These are my friends. Time is of the essence, so let’s not beat around the bush.”

“Indeed,” Li Zhiming agreed.

"Master Li, we wish to become traveling merchants and enter the demon realm. Do you have any recommendations?"
