The past few days, in seclusion on the mountain with Ning Fengzhi, Ming Yi had noticeably felt his cultivation speed far surpass previous levels, as if he had finally attained enlightenment.
Of course, it was also possible that he harbored immense latent potential, waiting for the opportune moment to erupt.
How he wished it was a case of accumulated effort leading to a breakthrough, allowing him to soar to unprecedented heights. Then, when he encountered that Celestial Palace cultivator, he would surely beat them soundly.
Otherwise, that fellow wouldn't understand the gravity of desecrating his ancestors' shrine with a single sword strike!
"Alright, take this and cultivate. I need to go back and prepare with Brother Xiao. I hope those fellows know it's the New Year, otherwise coming to stir up trouble during the holidays would leave us no chance for rest." Ye Chen called out and then hurried away.
Ming Yi made no move to stop him. He looked at the spirit stone in his hand, carefully sensing the spiritual energy within it. Brother Xiao had actually given him this.
He had been contemplating whether to use his spirit liquid, as his current cultivation speed was too slow.
Now, with a spirit stone, his speed would naturally increase.
A figure appeared beside Ming Yi. He looked at the spirit stone in Ming Yi's hand and said, "Lin Xiao actually possesses spirit stones."
"Great-Grandfather!"
Hearing this voice, Ming Yi quickly turned to pay his respects.
"Enough, no need to be so formal. I am your great-grandfather, not the Emperor... Although this spirit stone has been used considerably, it is an invaluable treasure for you now. My Ning family cannot find a single spirit stone among us; otherwise, my Ning family would surely have many Divine Realm experts." Ning Yu glanced at the spirit stone in Ming Yi's hand and praised it.
If he had such a valuable item, of course he would keep it for himself, not give it to others. He hadn't expected Lin Xiao to give Ming Yi a spirit stone.
From this perspective, it was the best gift for Ming Yi.
"Then, Great-Grandfather, if you had this spirit stone, would you be even stronger?" Ming Yi suddenly asked. His great-grandfather's strength was unfathomable, a true Divine Realm expert. If he had the help of a spirit stone, wouldn't his strength increase even further?
"For me, this item offers limited improvement, but for you, it can bring about a qualitative leap. You should keep it for yourself." Ning Yu immediately shook his head. He understood what his great-grandson meant, but he was already old. Moreover, he had been stuck in the Divine Realm for so many years. He knew that to break through to a higher realm, one had to pay a greater price.
For example, this used spirit stone had no use for him at all.
However, for Ming Yi now, this spirit stone might even help him enter the Divine Realm.
Only by entering the Divine Realm could his precious grandson achieve a qualitative change.
But even with his current cultivation speed, it was already enough to astound others.
In less than a week of cultivation, he could already fully circulate the Xuan Tian Gong. His Xuan Yu Hand could now cover his entire body.
The most crucial aspect was his cultivation realm.
With the true cultivation technique circulating through his meridians, Ming Yi seemed to have achieved a natural breakthrough, entering the Dong Xuan Realm.
