Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the curtains onto Hu Qing, he woke up from his practice and felt unprecedented strength and vitality.

After a night of practice, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had broken through to the Qi Gathering Stage, and he felt refreshed.

Hu Qing stood in the yard, feeling the changes in the spiritual power pool in his dantian.

He could feel the spiritual energy flowing more smoothly within his body, and the spiritual energy pool became deeper and more powerful. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed, his heart suddenly filled with confidence, as if he could kill through the entire mountain range.

Excited, Hu Qing began to practice the Shengxi Seal from "Life and Death Battle" in the yard.

As he moved, spiritual power condensed in his palm, forming a rotating vortex of spiritual power.

He discovered that the power of the Life-Giving Seal was more than twice as strong as before, and each strike was filled with explosive force.

Hu Qing decided to first go to the craftsmen to find someone to repair the west wall, and then find a blacksmith to make a dagger so that he could use it to skin monsters when hunting them.

Hu Qing packed up and went to the craftsman.

He found a skilled craftsman, described the damage to the Western Wall in detail, and asked the craftsman to repair it as soon as possible.

After checking the damaged wall, the craftsman put down his tools and started laying bricks to repair the wall. Hu Qing stood by and watched for a while, then stopped caring and went out to find a blacksmith.

There is no need to lock the door. After all, there are not so many unruly people in this world, especially in Haitian City. Those who are not honest have been beaten to death by the cultivators long ago.

After a while, Hu Qing went to the blacksmith shop and found a white-haired blacksmith.

He described the style and requirements of the dagger he needed to the blacksmith, hoping that the blacksmith could make a sharp and durable dagger.

After listening to Hu Qing's request, the blacksmith said he could meet his needs and began to make the dagger.

The blacksmith's craftsmanship was very exquisite. He selected high-quality iron ore and after repeated forging and polishing, he finally created an extremely sharp dagger.

The dagger's blade gleams coldly, and the handle is wrapped in calfskin, making it stable and comfortable to hold in the hand.

Hu Qing took the dagger made by the blacksmith, examined it carefully, and was very satisfied.

He thanked the blacksmith and paid him five silver coins.

Hu Qing put the dagger in his arms and started walking home.

After arriving home, he found that the wall had been repaired almost completely, so he gave the craftsman a silver coin as a reward. After sending him out, Hu Qing began his training for the day.

Hu Qing knows that there is no shortcut on the road of cultivation, and only through continuous honing and practice can one improve his skills.

He decided to use all available time to improve his fighting skills.

Locking the door tightly to ensure that no one would disturb him, he began to practice the Life Seal from the "Life and Death Battle Method" facing the stump of the fallen tree in the yard, and tried to combine it with the newly made dagger.

Hu Qing stood in front of the wooden stake, took a deep breath, and adjusted his breathing and spiritual power.

He closed his eyes, felt the flow of spiritual energy in his body, and began to practice the Shengxi Seal technique.

As his spiritual power circulated, a warm current seemed to slowly rise from his dantian and gradually spread to his limbs and bones.

He pulled out his newly forged dagger, feeling the sharpness of the blade and the fit of the handle.

Hu Qing injected spiritual power into the dagger, and a cold light suddenly flashed on the blade of the dagger.

He began to try to combine the spiritual power of the Life-Giving Seal with the attack of the dagger, and every swing was accompanied by fluctuations of spiritual power.

Hu Qing's movements became more and more smooth. He concentrated the spiritual power of the Life Seal on the tip of the dagger, making each attack full of explosive power.

He imagined how to use the sharpness of the dagger and the spiritual power of the Life-Breaking Seal to unexpectedly strike his opponent in battle.

As his practice deepened, Hu Qing gradually mastered the technique of combining the Life Seal with the dagger.

He discovered that when spiritual power was combined with the attack of a dagger, not only was the attack power greatly increased, but the attack methods were also more varied, which could produce miraculous effects in battle.

Hu Qing's heart was filled with perseverance and determination. He knew that the path of cultivation was full of hardships, but as long as he kept working hard, he would be able to constantly break through himself.

He combined the essence of "Life and Death Battle Method" with the practical skills of dagger, striving to reach a higher level in combat.

During his continuous practice, Hu Qing also began to try innovation.

He was not satisfied with simply injecting the spiritual power of the Life Seal into the dagger, but tried to add more changes to the attack, such as rotation, stabbing, sweeping, etc., making each attack full of unpredictability.

After a day of practice, Hu Qing's skills became more and more proficient.

He could easily combine the spiritual power of the Life-Breaking Seal with the attacks of the dagger, making each attack full of power and variety.

As night falls, the lights of Haitian City gradually light up, making this bustling city even more charming.

After finishing a day of training, Hu Qing decided to go to Tingfeng Tower again, but this time his purpose was no longer to taste the food, but to find out important information about Sunset Mountain.

Tingfeng Tower is not only a well-known restaurant in Haitian City, but also a center for information exchange.

Its fifth floor is the national intelligence center, gathering news and secrets from all over the world.

As long as you can afford the price, you can find out almost any information you are interested in.

Hu Qing knew that if he wanted to obtain information about Sunset Mountain, the fifth floor of Tingfeng Tower was his best choice.

He adjusted his attire, making sure he looked both dignified and easygoing, and then set off for Tingfeng Tower.

Hu Qing walked into Tingfeng Tower and went directly to the fifth floor. The atmosphere on the fifth floor was completely different from that on the ground floor. It was quieter and the light was softer.

There were figures in black robes sitting in every corner, their eyes revealing vigilance and shrewdness.

Hu Qing found a seemingly inconspicuous corner and sat down. He knew that asking for information directly here would attract unnecessary attention.

He asked the waiter for a cup of tea, then quietly observed the people around him, looking for possible sources of intelligence.

Soon, a middle-aged man in plain clothes came over, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Hu Qing knew that this person was the intelligence dealer he was going to contact.

"Sir, it seems that you are interested in some news here." The middle-aged man said in a low voice.

Hu Qing nodded, his voice calm. "I need some information about Sunset Mountain. Can you provide it?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of greed: "The information about Sunset Mountain is not cheap, but as long as you can afford the price, I can provide you with the most detailed information."

Hu Qing bargained with the middle-aged man and finally reached a deal at the price of one gold coin.

The middle-aged man took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Hu Qing.

"This is some basic information about Sunset Mountain, including the terrain, the distribution of monsters, and some possible dangers," the middle-aged man whispered. "But remember, these are just the basics. More in-depth information requires more gold coins."

Hu Qing took the note and read it carefully. He nodded to the middle-aged man, expressing his satisfaction. "Very good, this information is very useful to me. If I need more detailed information, I will come back to you."

After the transaction was completed, Hu Qing did not stay in Tingfeng Tower for long.

He knew that this place was full of spies from various forces, and he had to act carefully to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
