"Whew." Lin Tian took a deep breath and finally suppressed the shock in his heart.

At this time, the main character of the Divine Palace was also silent.

However, Lin Tian did not expect Horned Demon to give him any pointers. In the future, he would meet even stronger experts. If he continued to rely on others' pointers, it would be impossible for him to become an expert in his entire life.

Horned Demon also had this thought, so unless it was a last resort, he would never open his mouth.

"Bam!" Another palm.

On Lin Tian's chest, two blood-red handprints once again appeared.

But very quickly, the faint golden light that surged around Lin Tian's body smoothed out the two palm prints again as if he had never experienced such power before.

At this moment, Li Qingshan's heart finally had a ripple.

Three palm strikes. Lin Tian endured three palm strikes and was completely unharmed. Moreover, under his gaze, he forcefully recovered his physical strength.

However, Li Qingshan also retracted his mind, gathered his strength, and once again struck out with his palm.

"Bam!"

Lin Tian used his own body to withstand Li Qingshan's palm strike.

The palm print appeared and vanished once again.

"The fourth palm!"

The fifth palm …

The sixth palm …

The seventh palm …

The eighth palm …

Before long, Li Qingshan had already sent out seven to eight palm strikes. Unfortunately, although these seven to eight palm strikes were stronger than one palm strike, in the end, Li Qingshan had used almost all of his strength.

But from start to finish, he did not injure Lin Tian in the slightest.

Lin Tian's body was like a spring sponge. If it was hit down, it could once again grow back.

At first, Li Qingshan's face was expressionless, but later, he was astonished and puzzled, and then he became furious.

But he couldn't do anything about it. If this continued, the two of them might end up in a draw. Li Qingshan couldn't do anything to Lin Tian, and Lin Tian was also powerless against Li Qingshan.

However, this was not what he, Li Qingshan, wanted, nor was it what Lin Tian wanted.

The only difference was that compared to Li Qingshan's current face which was filled with anger, Lin Tian's face unexpectedly revealed a trace of joy.

Lin Tian's body had unexpectedly changed.

This change came from Lin Tian's whirlpool of Dantian.

Last night, Lin Tian had relied on the price of ten thousand high grade spirit stones to break through from the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm to the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm.

Moreover, he had successfully condensed the Aurous Core from his whirlpool of dantian.

Even though he had to continuously refine the Jindan until it was officially formed, it was still quite a feat to condense the Jindan.

But in today's battles, Lin Tian was shocked to discover that his nearly crazy and self-torturing method of fighting had actually urged the Jindan to accelerate its formation.

Currently, the Jindan in Lin Tian's body was not regular at the beginning, but now it was gradually changing, especially when he was fighting Li Qingshan.

The whirlpool of dantian continuously extracted energy from the aurous core to restore Lin Tian's body. At the same time, it also absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, devouring it into the whirlpool of dantian.

After repeating this cycle for a long time, the Jindan within the dantian of the whirlpool was quickly sharpened to a point.

It was precisely because of this change that Lin Tian did not counterattack and allowed Li Qingshan's palm to strike his body.

One strike from Li Qingshan could greatly reduce the time it took for him to completely condense the Aurous Core.

It had to be known that from the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm to the genuine Aurous Core stage was only a small difference of one small realm, but during this process, not only did it take a lot of time, it also required a lot of hard work.

But he didn't expect that on Lin Tian's side, the fight would solve almost all of his problems.

It was at this moment that the change occurred in Lin Tian's body.

Within the whirlpool of dantian, it frantically devoured the surrounding Spiritual Aura. After which, it completely entered Lin Tian's body. Waves after waves of Spiritual Aura entered his body and immediately began to wash away the Jindan within his Dantian.

"This …" Li Qingshan suddenly frowned. He seemed to have already figured out what Lin Tian was doing.

The young master in the audience also looked at Lin Tian with doubt.

"This is the tempo of a breakthrough!" The next moment, someone in the audience finally shouted this out.

At this moment, the rest of the crowd also started to clamor.

What kind of freak was this? He was about to advance to the Aurous Core stage in battle?

The young master's face was full of disbelief, but then, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

He also wanted to see how incredible this kid, who was able to make others unable to believe him, was.

Lin Tian had already felt the changes in his body, but at this moment, another problem arose.

"Spirit stones!" Lin Tian needed a large amount of spirit stones.

He knew how terrifying the whirlpool in his dantian was, and he also knew that if he wanted to break through, he would need a lot of resources and spirit stones to pass on his dragon bloodline.

Other people might need tens of thousands of spirit stones to break through to the Aurous Core stage, but he needed at least ten times more than others.

This was decided by the power of his inherited bloodline, Lin Tian had no other choice.

Previously, he had obtained forty thousand high grade spirit stones from the Clear Pavilion. Later on, before Lin Tian left, Hua Ruoyi had also given him over ten thousand, as well as the Qingzhou Main Academy. They had given Lin Tian twenty thousand spirit stones for being the number one in the three rounds of the Qingzhou Trial and the reward for being on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.

In other words, Lin Tian originally had seventy to eighty thousand spirit stones, but when he broke through yesterday, he had used ten thousand. Currently, he only had sixty thousand spirit stones on him.

Not enough, absolutely not enough. This was a big gap.

What should he do?

Lin Tian was hesitating when he suddenly saw the identity token in his hand.

"Got it, I'll exchange it for spirit stones." Contribution points were the currency of the Northern Courtyard. With contribution points, one could exchange for any item, including spirit stones.

However, it was too late to go to the Pavilion of Missions now. He needed to quickly settle down and cultivate with his current condition.

Lin Tian thought for a moment and then threw his identity token at a certain student. He then said: "Everyone should know of my current situation, my identity token has 50,000 contribution points, but I do not have the time to exchange for spirit stones now. Which one of you has spirit stones, please deduct them from your contribution points and give me spirit stones.

Only then did the crowd come back to their senses. They never thought that this student would actually break through to the Aurous Core stage.

Saying this, Lin Tian looked at Li Qingshan apologetically: "Sorry, I might have to make you wait a bit longer."

The next moment, he took out a spirit stone from his storage ring and said: "These ten thousand spirit stones will help you to breakthrough. If you succeed, you can just fight with me and win. You don't have to return these ten thousand spirit stones.

"Thank you very much." Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly grabbed the spirit stone, placing it around him.

"I have a thousand here. I'll transfer 2000 contribution points." A disciple also grabbed a pile of spirit stones from his storage ring and threw it in front of Lin Tian.

Two contribution points could be exchanged for one high grade spirit stone. This was the price of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, so the student didn't ask for too many contribution points from Lin Tian.

"I have one here too. Not much. Five hundred contribution points. I'll draw one thousand by myself." At the same time, another person spoke up.

"I have three thousand."

"Eight hundred!"

In a short moment, the students below the field began to throw in their spirit stones.

They all wanted to see how much more pleasant it would be for Lin Tian to surprise them. He was the first student in the entire history of the Northern Courtyard to choose to break through in the arena matches. Just this point alone was enough to make everyone excited.

Even the Young Master at the side took out twenty thousand spirit stones and threw it directly at Lin Tian: "Consider it my gift, there is no need to return it."

"Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled as his gaze turned towards that Young Master.

The young master smiled, and the light in his eyes was indescribably bright.

"Thank you very much." Lin Tian didn't think too much and sat down cross-legged with all his heart. He began cultivating and was about to break through to the Aurous Core stage.
