District 36 suddenly became a focal point for the academy's Spirit Apprentice disciples and Inner Court disciples.
By the time the people from the Son of Heaven Faction arrived, District 36 was already surrounded by an endless stream of onlookers.
Although the news had spread, some people still couldn't believe it.
Not long after, over 100 people had gathered outside District 36.
Among them were many well-known disciple organizations within the academy.
"The people from the Liu Sect are here too!"
Seeing the dozen or so people opposite them, led by Liu Fangyu, Chu Fang, and Qin Yihang, their expressions at this moment turned to surprise.
"Fang Shicheng and Yuan Gang from the Fangyuan Society are also here!"
"Look, there's also Yan Qingqing from the Anran Courtyard!"
"Du Chen from the Cloud Soaring Group, a Spirit Platform Realm Level 3 expert, has appeared!"
"Zhao Wuhe and Chu Cun Jian from the Heavenly Sword Society are here!"
Suddenly, the majority of the Inner Court disciples were utterly astonished.
Normally, Spirit Apprentice disciples resided in the Heavenly God Courtyard, and the elders' arrangements were consistent with the teachings of the honorary elders.
They rarely appeared in the Inner Court.
Now, in the blink of an eye, people from all the major disciple alliances had appeared.
From Spirit Platform Realm Level 1 to Spirit Platform Realm Level 9, all were present. How could these Inner Court disciples not be surprised?
"This District 36 has always been a ghost district, no one dared to come here. Now that the spiritual energy is so abundant, this ownerless land will become a prize that every disciple sect wants to contend for!"
"That's right! This time, there's another good show to watch!"
"Hehe, who knows, if the competition annoys the academy, they might just transform this place into a large-scale spirit gathering formation. By then, those disciple sects can forget about getting anything!"
Watching the crowd gather, the disciples present also buzzed with discussion.
Such a grand display indeed made the Inner Court disciples feel incredible.
And at this very moment, within District 36, a person stood ramrod straight in front of the communal building.
"Not bad!"
Looking at the few people in front, Qin Ning smiled indifferently.
"Lu Xuan, Spirit Platform Realm Level 1 has risen to Level 6!"
"Sun Yu is also Spirit Platform Realm Level 1."
"Zhang Xiaoshuai is a bit weaker, Spirit Sea Realm Level 9, but still very good."
"Big Brother, you are now at Spirit Sea Realm Level 9, but there's no need to rush. Your Mountain Peak Divine Body, your initial physique was only a spirit body, but the higher your cultivation, the more your physique will be upgraded!"
"Your Mountain Peak Divine Body is a physique that can be enhanced, so the later it gets, the more terrifying the upgrades will be."
"Second Brother has also reached Spirit Platform Realm Level 1!"
"Xiao Fei isn't bad either, Spirit Platform Realm Level 3. Xiao Qing, you..."
Seeing Xiao Qing, Qin Ning's eyes suddenly froze.
"After a month apart, this stupid ox hasn't increased its strength at all, but has gotten a whole size fatter? The spirit pills and divine medicines you ate weren't digested, but all turned into fat on your body!"
Qin Ning scolded in a deep voice.
Hearing these words, Xiao Qing's eyes sparkled, and tears threatened to fall.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful with me, you're disgracing your ancestors. From today onwards, I will monitor you thoroughly. If you're still lazy, I'll skin you alive!"
Qin Ning's expression was cold, and with a wave of his hand, Xiao Qing suddenly shrank his neck.
"Yuan Yuan has reached Spirit Platform Realm Level 4, even faster than I imagined."
Qin Ning nodded slightly.
The Imperial Body is indeed extraordinary, so it's not surprising that one Azure Jade Lotus Seed and one Golden Flame Jade Pellet would result in such an upgrade.
Qin Ning smiled faintly as he looked at the group.
"For now, let's consider everyone to have met the requirements!"
For now?
Met the requirements?
The group exchanged glances.
In this past month, they had cultivated day and night without cease, advancing from the fourth and fifth layers of the Spirit Sea Realm to the Spirit Platform Realm.
If they were in the Heavenly God Academy, they would undoubtedly be called top-tier geniuses.
But in Qin Ning's eyes, they were merely... barely meeting the requirements?
"Boss!"
Zhang Xiaoshuai chuckled, "Boss, in this past month, I've seen you cultivating behind closed doors too. What realm have you reached?"
"Me?"
Qin Ning clasped his hands behind his back and said nonchalantly, "The first layer of the Spirit Platform Realm!"
What?
The first layer of the Spirit Platform Realm?
At this moment, the group exchanged glances.
"Boss, don't joke!" Zhang Xiaoshuai waved his hand and said, "You had already reached the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm long ago, and you also had the lotus seed and the Golden Flame Jade Pellet.
We've already witnessed their efficacy; one day of cultivation can be compared to ten days.
Otherwise, how could I have reached the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm in just one month?"
"You should have at least reached the fourth layer of the Spirit Platform Realm..."
In this past month, Zhang Xiaoshuai had indeed come to understand.
That Golden Flame Jade Pellet was too powerful. With normal cultivation, it would have taken him a year to advance from the fourth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm to the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.
But one Golden Flame Jade Pellet had increased his cultivation speed tenfold.
Qin Ning had already reached the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. Swallowing a Golden Flame Jade Pellet was equivalent to a year of cultivation. There was no way he could have only advanced to the first layer of the Spirit Platform Realm.
Qin Ning didn't say much. He waved his hand, and the nine orifices of his body subtly appeared, with abundant spiritual energy instantly surging through the nine Spirit Seas.
Upon closer inspection, a Spirit Platform could be seen on the first Spirit Sea, standing firm and unmoving, as stable as a mountain, quietly present.
It truly was the first layer of the Spirit Platform Realm!
In an instant, everyone standing there was stunned.
Ye Yuanjuan remained silent.
She knew how terrifying Qin Ning's talent was.
When she first met Qin Ning, he hadn't even reached the Spirit Sea Realm, but later, during their training, Qin Ning's cultivation always advanced at a more astonishing rate than hers.
And this time, Qin Ning only advancing to the first layer of the Spirit Platform Realm must have his reasons.
"This is bad, this is bad!"
Just then, an anxious voice suddenly rang out.
Xu Tongtian, usually quick-footed, now rushed over like a gust of wind. Upon seeing Qin Ning, he quickly said,
"A large number of inner disciples and spirit apprentices have gathered outside... The spiritual energy in this Zone 36 is too strong, so it seems they... want to share a portion!"
Xu Tongtian hastily wiped away his sweat.
Although an honorary elder like him wasn't afraid of those disciples outside, the spirit children behind them were all figures with profound methods in the Heavenly God Academy, to the point where even core elders had to give way to them.
For this past month, Xu Tongtian had been in Zone 36.
He finally understood what Qin Ning meant by "no fees."
This land, imbued with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, had, in just one month, become so rich that it could rival a massive second-grade Spirit Gathering Array.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Qin Ning.
