Bu Ling'er angrily ran to the side, found a stone bench, and sat on it.

"Hey, what kind of martial skill is this? Why is it that when my Rainflower Sword is thrusting towards you, I am completely unable to use any strength?" "I don't think I've ever seen other sect disciples practice this martial art before?"

Su Xing laughed as he sat in front of Bu Ling'Er and said, "Do you still remember the last time we went to the Swallow Swallow County? It was at that time that I accidentally found the martial skill on the black market, and I don't know the name of this martial skill. I used my own experience and its contents to give it a new name, called the Five Elements Arts."

Su Xing did not plan to hide anything from Bu Ling'er. He told her about the origin of this martial skill book from the very beginning to the very end.

"What?" Bu Ling'Er asked in surprise. "Then you really got lucky this time. You've learnt the first form of the Five Elements Arts and perfectly restrained my Rainflower Sword. Once you've mastered it all, who among your peers would be able to beat you?"

Su Xing waved his hand and said, "How can it be as simple as you make it out to be? This Five Elements Art is incomplete and incredibly profound, and I've already spent a month on the first move. I don't know how long it would take to master it all, but this martial skill is truly powerful.

Alchemy, as the name implied, was to refine metals. And the majority of weapons were forged from metal. As long as Su Xing could master this technique, he would be able to easily suppress his opponent's weapons.

"It's Lan Yi. How come I didn't see that girl?" After they chatted for a while, Bu Ling'Er suddenly asked.

"She's cultivating," Su Xing shook his head and smiled. "Ever since she came back last time, didn't she always say that she wanted to cultivate? After such a long time, she was even more diligent than me."

Bu Ling'er curiously asked, "How is your training going?"

Su Xing helplessly smiled and said, "I don't know why, but this girl, Lan Yi, is training so hard and is unable to open her meridians. She has already entered the Body Refinement Realm and is still an ordinary person."

"How is this possible?" Bu Ling'er was greatly shocked.

In general, the Body Refinement Realm was the starting point for cultivators to start cultivating. Only by opening up all the meridians in the body and forging one's physical body's strength could one start to build a good foundation for spirit energy entering the body. If one was unable to refine the body and spirit energy entering the body in the future, the body would be unable to withstand the tyrannical power of spirit energy, causing major injuries and even death.

Body refining wasn't difficult for most people as it was, after all, the most basic of things. A situation where Lan Yi couldn't even step into the Refinement Realm was extremely rare.

At the start, Su Xing was also very curious, but he couldn't figure it out.

With regards to this, although Su Xing was shocked, he did not pay much attention to it. After all, he knew that Su Yiyun did not like to train. This was good as well, which dispelled all of her thoughts.

"..."

It was getting closer and closer to the end of the year's assembly. Whether it was the Qing Xuan Sect, the other sects, or those ordinary people of the Yan Huang Country, they would all be talking about this topic after their meals.

The end of the year Great Assembly was a demonstration of the strength of the various clans and sects in Yanhuang County. It was also the basis for the newbies seeking directions and lodging in the cultivation world in the future.

Therefore, every year at the end of the year, all the powers would pay special attention to it.

At the end of last year's Grand Meeting, the Chen family had a complete victory. Four people had entered the spirit pond, and the Chen family had already occupied four places in the top ten. What kind of concept was this? Even though the Qing Xuan Sect had spent a lot of effort, only one disciple had such luck.

The Chen family's victory not only attracted many young talents to join their ranks, it also triggered the Guo family's desire to get married. Now that the Guo family and Guo family were one, their strength had skyrocketed, making them even more difficult to deal with.

In fact, most of them already had an answer in their hearts for this year's end of year's Grand Meeting. If nothing went wrong, the biggest winners this year would be the Chen and Guo families.

With regards to all of this, Su Xing did not pay too much attention to it.

As far as he was concerned, he only had two goals for this year's Clan Assembly. One was to enter the Spirit Pool, and the other was to fight with Chen Yuan, who was the Chen family's young master.

With these two goals in mind, Su Xing did not dare to slack off at all every single day.

He had thought of entering the spirit realm before the annual general assembly, but it hadn't been that easy.

Xue Tao had only used four months to reach the half-step into the Spirit Stage realm while Su Xing had only cultivated for two months.

However, for others, things that were not simple, were not necessarily for Su Xing.

A few days before the start of the Clan Assembly, Su Xing suddenly felt an indescribable disturbance in his body.

The Spiritual Energy within Su Xing's body was already very strong. The feeling of being filled had already made him want to charge into the Spirit Realm. However, he was caught off guard by the sudden change in his body.

"What's going on?" As Su Xing sat cross-legged on his bed, he suddenly felt a sudden pain in his chest. He shuddered and almost fell to the ground from the sudden pain.

Su Xing thought that this would only last for a split-second. Who would've thought that even after the sharp pain passed, it did not stop. Instead, it became even more severe.

It was as if someone was holding a knife in his chest and stirring it non-stop. It was a heart-wrenching pain.

Su Xing clenched his teeth as he got up from the bed. After he sat up, he began to enter a state of cultivation. He began to channel the Spiritual Energy within his body towards the location of the pain, hoping to use the recovery of his Spiritual Energy to calm the pain.

This method was effective. Su Xing's pain had been greatly alleviated. However, more than half of the Spiritual Energy had suddenly dissipated. Moreover, the Spiritual Energy from other parts of his body had started to uncontrollably gather towards his chest.

Su Xing was stunned as he sensed the situation.

"How come this situation is so similar to what Master once told me about when the spirit energy source sea was being established?" Su Xing muttered to himself, "But that's not right. I have yet to enter the Spirit Realm, so how could I open a Spirit Sea?"

Su Xing was puzzled as he observed the changes in his body. When the activity in his body ended and a strange black hole suddenly appeared on his chest, Su Xing was completely dumbfounded.

However, in just an instant, he jumped down from the bed again, excitement filling his entire face.
