To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

Seeing the puzzled look on Qingxuan Patriarch's face, Sun Yi smiled and explained to him: "That's because I can only sense wind-attributed spiritual energy at the moment, so the Wind and Thunder Step is not complete yet."

Qingxuan Patriarch turned to look at Sun Yi, his face filled with shock and astonishment: "How is it possible that you can sense wind-attributed spiritual energy when you are not even at the foundation-building stage?"

Suddenly, Patriarch Qingxuan thought of the scene where Sun Yi had swallowed up the wind-attributed demon pills one after another, so he asked Sun Yi tentatively: "Could it be because of those wind-attributed demon pills you swallowed?"

Sun Yi nodded and said without hiding anything: "Didn't the ancestor say before that my realm is not high enough and I can't sense the wind and thunder attribute spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so I can't practice the Wind and Thunder Step successfully?"

"So I thought, if I could sense the wind and thunder spiritual energy between heaven and earth, wouldn't I be able to successfully practice the Wind and Thunder Steps in advance?"

"I just happened to read in one of the sect's classics that it's recorded that swallowing the demon core of a demon beast with a certain attribute can temporarily give oneself an affinity with that attribute's power, making it easier to sense the corresponding attribute power between heaven and earth."

"So I found some demon cores from wind-attributed demon beasts and tried them out. Sure enough, they allowed me to sense the wind-attributed spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Now I can barely perform the Wind and Thunder Step. I just have to wait until I can sense the thunder-attributed spiritual energy. Only then can I perform the Wind and Thunder Step in its entirety."

"It can actually be done this way, it's incredible!" Patriarch Qingxuan was shocked. As a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, he didn't even know that there was such a method to assist in practicing the Wind and Thunder Step.

"According to you, as long as there are wind-attribute demon pills and thunder-attribute demon pills, disciples in the Qi Refining Stage can learn the Wind and Thunder Steps that only disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage can practice?" Ancestor Qingxuan looked at Sun Yi and his eyes suddenly became a little excited.

Sun Yi nodded seriously: "That's the theory."

"Well done, Sun Yi. I didn't expect you to find such a method. Very good. From now on, this matter will be a sect secret and cannot be disclosed casually. It will be used to train elite disciples in the future."

"After all, the number of wind-attribute and thunder-attribute demon pills is limited, and it is impossible to supply them to all disciples indefinitely." Ancestor Qingxuan said cautiously.

Sun Yi nodded and agreed without hesitation: "I understand, I know what to do, please rest assured, ancestor."

Patriarch Qingxuan smiled and nodded. He did not take the fact that Sun Yi had wasted a large amount of attribute demon pills too seriously. Now Sun Yi could use the resources in the sect's treasure house however he wanted.

"By the way, I'm going to Tiansheng County soon. Do you have anything else to tell me?" Patriarch Qingxuan changed the subject.

Through the sect's classics, Sun Yi had a relatively detailed understanding of the Tianyuan Continent. The entire Tianyuan Continent was divided into five counties: Tiansheng County in the center, Tianbei County in the north, Donghua County in the east, and Wanling County in the south.

Tiansheng County, located in the center of these five counties, has the best environment for cultivation and gathers the most powerful sects in the Tianyuan Continent. Moreover, Tianbei County, Donghua County and Wanling County are all connected to Tiansheng County, and the environment for cultivation is not bad either.

Only Luan Yao County and Tian Sheng County are separated by a huge mountain range. The two places are far apart, and the cultivation environment in Luan Yao County is far inferior, so the overall cultivation level is far lower than that of the other four counties.

Qingyun Sect used to be a major sect in Donghua County, but now there is no place for Qingyun Sect in Donghua County.

Sun Yi thought about it and then offered his opinion: "Old Ancestor, this time when you go to Tiansheng County, you can indeed exchange for some resources that can help us, such as high-grade spirit stones, natural treasures for tempering the body, or elixir recipes."

"I need a physical training method, and I hope the ancestor can help me find it." Sun Yi first put forward his request.

"Okay, I will help you find a body-refining technique." Patriarch Qingxuan promised without hesitation to find a body-refining technique for Sun Yi.

"In addition, the ancestor can also exchange for some resources that are helpful for the cultivation of low-level cultivators, such as Essence Fruit, Qi Condensation Pills, Spirit Condensation Pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, Spirit Quenching Pills and other basic resources. Although our Miscellaneous Arts Hall is already under reconstruction, the supply is still insufficient in the short term. After we deal with the Black Wind Village and the Evil Spirit Valley, we will need to recruit a large number of disciples. The demand for such basic resources is huge, so we can make more preparations."

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Qingxuan nodded. Sun Yi had a detailed plan for the future, which Patriarch Qingxuan thought he was far inferior to.

"Finally, please exchange it for some ancient books, especially those related to the spirit."

Patriarch Qingxuan didn't know why Sun Yi wanted to exchange the ancient books back, but he still nodded and agreed to Sun Yi's request.

"By the way, ancestor, when you leave, make sure you don't get discovered by the people from Black Wind Village and Evil Spirit Valley." Sun Yi reminded.

Patriarch Qingxuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't let them know my whereabouts. I will announce that I am in seclusion in the sect."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Remember to practice down-to-earth and don't act recklessly. The sect can't do without you now."

Before leaving, Patriarch Qingxuan did not forget to warn Sun Yi, and Sun Yi naturally nodded seriously and promised.

After Patriarch Qingxuan left, Sun Yi continued to practice the Wind and Thunder Step. This time, he took out the demon pill of a thunder-attributed demon beast and swallowed it, then began to sense the thunder-attributed spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

This time, sensing the thunder attribute spiritual energy was much easier than sensing the wind attribute spiritual energy. Sun Yi thought it was because he had refined the thunder spirit grass.

The moment he sensed the thunder-attributed spiritual energy, Sun Yi suddenly opened his eyes, activated the true energy in his body, and instantly performed the Wind and Thunder Step.

Sun Yi suddenly disappeared from the spot, his speed four times faster than before.

Stopping not far away, Sun Yi's face was filled with joy. This was the real Wind and Thunder Step. He had mastered the Wind and Thunder Step when he was at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining. If he told others about it, no one would believe it.

However, he had just mastered the Wind and Thunder Step and was not familiar enough, so he needed to continue practicing.

In the following time, Sun Yi concentrated on practicing the Wind and Thunder Step in the training room, and also practiced the Five Elements Sword Technique. The Wind and Thunder Step combined with the Golden Sword Technique greatly improved his strength.

However, Sun Yi also discovered problems during the practice. The Wind and Thunder Step could indeed greatly enhance his strength, but it put a heavy burden on his body. Even if his body was strengthened by the Blood Spirit Fruit and the Thunder Spirit Grass, he would still feel tired after continuously performing the Wind and Thunder Step.

Sun Yi guessed that if his body was not strengthened and he rashly used the Wind and Thunder Step, the end result would definitely be harm to himself.

Moreover, the Wind and Thunder Step consumes a lot of true energy. Even though Sun Yi's current realm has reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, he cannot provide infinite true energy to perform the Wind and Thunder Step.

"It seems that we must find a way to open up a new Dantian as soon as possible." Sun Yi glanced at the corpse of the Miro beast in the storage ring.

This thing has been in the storage ring for half a month. He has been busy practicing the Wind and Thunder Step recently and has no time to study it.

Sun Yi decided to take some time to study the Miro Beast carefully, but before that, he had to go to the Battle Tower to test his current strength.

After leaving the training room, Sun Yi turned into a beam of light and flew towards the battle tower.
