I can gather experience beads

The experience beads of [Lingyuan Guanshen Jue] have been condensed.

Next, just wait to accumulate experience points and complete the first level.

Cao Rui spends one-third of his time every day practicing the [Lingyuan Guanshen Jue].

Afterwards, Cao Rui began to practice [Xuanwu Transformation], the last physical skill.

Zuo Qiu was very considerate and prepared a top-grade treasure called the 'Heart of the Divine Turtle' for Cao Rui.

This treasure is the most suitable top treasure for beginners to learn [Xuanwu Transformation].

This item is taken from a wild turtle-like animal and is quite rare.

Cao Rui swallowed the Heart of the Divine Turtle, and then began to practice the [Xuanwu Transformation] spell.

The magic power in the body began to continuously impact the key parts of the body.

Because Cao Rui's Vajra Glass Body has reached the state of transformation.

Therefore, the first level of [Xuanwu Transformation] went smoothly, and the experience beads were formed quickly.

Cao Rui controlled the experience beads of [Xuanwu Transformation] and began to devour the experience beads of Vajra Glass Body.

During this process, Cao Rui's body spontaneously glowed with the color of colorful glass.

But soon, as the experience beads were devoured, the color of the colorful glass began to slowly fade until it returned to normal.

After swallowing the experience bead of the Vajra Glass Body, the first level of [Black Tortoise Transformation] was just completed.

Cao Rui's body became slightly taller and wider, and a faint shadow of Xuanwu flashed across his body.

Compared to the Vajra Glass Body, the external manifestation of the magical skill [Xuanwu Transformation] is more restrained.

If Cao Rui had not sensed that his physical fitness had improved by several points, he would have doubted whether he had practiced physical skills at all.

"So, every day's time is divided into three parts, practicing Chaos Spiritual Yuan Gong, Spiritual Source Observation Technique, and Black Tortoise Transformation..."

After formulating a training plan, Cao Rui completely immersed himself in the training.

The training materials in the blue ring were also being consumed bit by bit under Cao Rui's training.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

This day.

Zuo Qiu returned from the outer world and raided the headquarters of the Beihai Holy Land City Guard.

Zuo Qiu gained quite a lot from participating in the Innate Spiritual Treasure Appreciation Conference this time, so he was in a good mood.

Zuo Qiu naturally did not forget his new disciple.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to the Holy Land of Beihai, Zuo Qiu rushed to the headquarters of the City Guard and came to the small courtyard for training that they had prepared for Cao Rui.

Zuo Qiu did not conceal his whereabouts, so as soon as he entered the courtyard, Cao Rui sensed his presence.

"Master is back." Cao Rui suddenly opened his eyes.

When Cao Rui walked out of the training room, he saw Zuo Qiu standing tall in the courtyard.

"Master, you're back." Cao Rui stepped forward and bowed.

"Yeah." Zuo Qiu nodded slightly.

Then, Cao Rui's heart shook violently, and a powerful spiritual force as if it were real swept over his body like lightning. The power was so overwhelming that he instantly felt a terrifying sense of oppression.

It was as if I was exposed naked in endless darkness, and all the pores on my body tightened unconsciously, as if even my soul was about to be swallowed up by this force.

Cao Rui understood that Zuo Qiu did not do it on purpose, but the difference in their levels was too great, and even the slightest leakage of his aura would make Cao Rui unable to bear it.

Cao Rui only felt that except for the experience beads, everything else on his body seemed to have been seen clearly and distinctly by Zuo Qiu's spiritual power, and there was no secret at all.

After a moment, Zuo Qiu slowly withdrew his heart-pounding spiritual sense, as if he was putting away an extremely deterrent weapon.

"You have made such progress in just ten years. You have practiced very hard and your talent is also outstanding." Zuo Qiu nodded with satisfaction, his eyes flashing with admiration, which revealed his recognition of Cao Rui.

Seeing this, Cao Rui felt a warm current in his heart. He hurriedly bowed slightly and said respectfully: "It is all thanks to the great support of the spiritual materials and treasures provided by you, Master, that I can achieve what I have today."

Zuo Qiu waved his hand and said gently: "Don't underestimate yourself. Your own efforts and talents cannot be ignored."

Then, Zuo Qiu gently said: "Next, you have to be fully prepared for the thunder tribulation that will come with your advancement to the Void Refining Stage. You need to go all out."

Cao Rui looked solemn, and replied solemnly: "Disciple will definitely remember Master's teachings and do his best to prepare for the thunder tribulation."

Zuo Qiu added: "However, you don't have to worry too much about the thunder tribulation in the Void Refining Stage. At that time, the master will prepare corresponding spiritual treasures for you to help you successfully pass the thunder tribulation. These spiritual treasures are carefully selected and refined, and have a strong protective power against the thunder tribulation in the Void Refining Stage."

"It's not difficult to help you survive the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation."

"The beast tide is coming soon. Although your cultivation level will improve if you just practice in seclusion, your combat awareness will not improve as well." Zuo Qiu said earnestly, "Only by constantly honing your skills in actual combat can you truly improve your combat ability."

"I hope you can join the beast tide this time. What do you think?"

Cao Rui took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Disciple understands. I will participate in this battle against the beast tide."

Zuo Qiu nodded with satisfaction, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

He thought about it, then opened his mouth and spit out a white magic bead.

The magic bead flashed and instantly sank into Cao Rui's forehead.

"This is a self-defense method given to you. With this method, you can safely navigate the beast tide. If your life is in danger, it will automatically activate."

Cao Rui touched his forehead, but could not sense anything. With the strength of his spiritual sense, if he had not seen with his own eyes what Zuo Qiu did, he really would not be able to detect anything. Is this the method used by a Mahayana cultivator?

Although he was curious about what kind of self-defense method Zuo Qiu gave him, he believed that the attack from a Mahayana cultivator would definitely not be bad.

Cao Rui didn't ask any more questions.

Suddenly, Chu Xiyue's figure fell into the yard.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Chu Xiyue knelt on one knee respectfully and saluted Zuo Qiu.

Zuo Qiu nodded slightly: "Just follow my instructions and make arrangements for Cao Rui."

After thinking for a while, Zuo Qiu stroked the ring, and a stream of purple light flashed out and entered Chu Xiyue's body.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Xiyue was surprised and thanked him respectfully again.

"Master, what is this?" Cao Rui was slightly surprised as he looked at the fleeting purple light.

Although it was only a moment, Cao Rui clearly felt the majestic aura displayed by the purple light.

And anything that could make Chu Xiyue, a cultivator in the fusion stage, so surprised must be something extraordinary.

"This is the innate purple energy, a high-level energy that plays an important role in helping cultivators in the fusion stage comprehend the power of rules."

"You won't need this thing before you advance to the fusion stage." Zuo Qiu did not mind the trouble and patiently explained to Cao Rui.

Cao Rui showed a look of understanding.

"You go with Xiyue." Zuo Qiu waved his hand.

Cao Rui nodded in agreement, followed Chu Xiyue out of the training courtyard.
