In the middle of the battlefield, six Gui Cang realm experts were locked in fierce combat, with waves of qi surging and killing intent everywhere.

Zhang Chunyang's ten fingers moved like lightning, condensing Pure Yang Qi into sharp blades, lunging straight at Qianyuan's vital points.

The dark green poison mist surged around Qianyuan, making a corrosive sound that sent chills down one's spine.

Pure Yang Qi and the poison mist clashed, creating layers of sonic booms, each one stirring up multiple waves of sound.

Sang Yang, holding a jade box, slightly opened it, and twelve silver needles shot into the air from the jade box.

As he moved his fingers, it seemed as if there were invisible threads pulling them, with piercing sounds splitting the air.

The centipede demon he was fighting was also at the Gui Cang realm, extremely powerful, with its poison qi neutralizing and counteracting Sang Yan, making it difficult to determine a victor.

The wild bull fought with an unparalleled ferocity, its attacks as fierce as thunder.

Charging, kicking, tail sweeping...

Various melee combat methods forced the centipede demon to dodge repeatedly.

And the wild bull, with its thick hide and tough flesh, resisted the invading poison qi, its skin warding it off.

While fighting, Sang Yang also kept an eye on Qin An's situation.

When he saw the grand elder forcibly breaking through to Gui Cang, his brow furrowed in surprise.

"Not good! That kid is in danger."

Sang Yang wanted to retreat and provide aid, but he was tightly entangled by the centipede demon.

The Gui Cang realm battle was terrifying, but at this moment, the sides were evenly matched, and the battle situation had reached a stalemate.

The wild bull was in a dominant position but couldn't spare attention for rescue, mooing: "Old fella! If you want to escape, do it soon! Old Bull can still take you and Qin An!"

True to its word, it still hadn't forgotten Qin An in this moment.

Zhang Chunyang's face gradually turned pale.

His Pure Yang Power suppressing the toxins was at its limit, yet the poison miasma continued to spread within his body.

He was fighting on two fronts, both opposing Qianyuan and maintaining the Pure Yang Array, utterly exhausted.

"If this drags on, it won't bode well." A note of heaviness crossed Zhang Chunyang's mind.

Knowing the situation was dire, after hearing the wild bull's words, he was about to tell Sang Yang to leave quickly.

But at that moment, Qin An's voice pierced the clouds, reaching Zhang Chunyang's ears.

Zhang Chunyang was slightly puzzled, then without further thought, with a wave of his sleeve, a Yang Elixir emerged from the sleeve, shooting toward Qin An like a meteor.

He didn't know why he acted so decisively.

But ever since meeting Qin An, he had regarded this young man very highly.

Resourceful, competent, clever.

At this life-and-death juncture, it was a gamble.

The Yang Elixir soared and descended rapidly.

Qin An swiftly caught the Yang Elixir, then channeled his True Qi, allowing it to melt entirely.

The Yang Elixir dissipated into mist, instantly absorbed by Qin An.

Within him, his kidneys became infused with yang energy, flowing with golden light.

The others present were still resisting the grand elder's attack, with at least half of the Mountain Patrol Bronze Guards severely wounded, unable to fight further.

At this moment, seeing Qin An receive the Yang Elixir, a thought unconsciously arose in their minds.

Why did he absorb the Yang Elixir?

As soon as this thought appeared, it was interrupted.

The grand elder's frenzied assault aimed to break through the Mountain Patrol Bronze Guards' defense.

Seeing the Yang Elixir, and remembering he was just a normal Gui Cang, his hatred for Qin An gradually escalated.

Qin An ignored him, then sat cross-legged.

Liao Yang held his axe, his face extremely pale, withstanding the grand elder's attack with all his might, his body covered in blood.

Seeing Qin An sitting cross-legged, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What on earth is Mr. Qin doing?

He had everyone blocking for him, now he sits cross-legged, what's the reason?

"Mr. Qin! At this moment, how can—"

Liao Yang wanted to remind Qin An that it was already a life-threatening moment.

But Wuo Lin interrupted him.

"He has his way, trust him."

Liao Yang was shocked: "Weren't you at odds with him?"

Wuo Lin shook his head, saying: "He is strong and impressive, I acknowledge him."

After a few simple words, Wuo Lin wielded his long staff, exchanging a move with the grand elder, then the staff cracked, causing him to stagger back several steps, hands in immense pain.

Liao Yang saw this, revealing a hint of relief.

If even Wuo Lin, this stubborn woman, could trust Qin An, why couldn't he?

In any case, being like this now, why not continue to shield Mr. Qin?

He hoped Mr. Qin could become the one to turn the tide.

With this thought, Liao Yang mustered his last bit of strength to charge back into the battlefield.

Qin An at this moment was sitting cross-legged, eyes slightly closed.

In his mind appeared the Heart Method obtained from Casting Valley — Forging Heart Scripture.

At this moment, with the final Yang Elixir formed, it was time to attempt entering Jade Bone Realm Perfection.

Only in this way could this crisis be resolved.

Before him, mist appeared, twisting like a snake.

[Scholar lv.6 (300/1000): Your reading speed improves greatly, and you have photographic memory]

[Talent: Great Enlightenment in Jade Bone Realm Heart Method, Great Sudden Enlightenment in Jade Bone Realm Heart Method]

After recent reading of cultivation techniques, the Scholar class had some growth.

Currently, Qin An had a pseudo-core, and if possible, he might achieve Gui Cang.

Once Qin An activated Forging Heart Scripture, the mist before his eyes immediately changed.

[You cultivate Forging Heart Scripture, triggering Scholar talent, you experience a sudden enlightenment]

[Forging Heart Scripture (Great Success)]

This Heart Method is a Jade Bone Realm Heart Method, allowing for a hundred percent enlightenment.

Qin An did not stop, continuing to cultivate.

[You continue to cultivate Forging Heart Scripture, gaining occasional insights and triggering enlightenment talent again]

[Forging Heart Scripture (Perfection)]

After achieving Great Success in the Jade Bone Realm Heart Method, continued cultivation turns into a chance for enlightenment.

Qin An was fortunate this time, triggering enlightenment without draining his qi and blood.

But it was still far from enough.

Before him, the mist changed again, recomposing.

[You possess Two Principles Bodhi Heart, attempting to unite them as one]

[After years of solitary sitting, you attempt to deplete your qi and blood, and although exhausted, you gain some insights]

Qin An opened his eyes, without hesitation grasping the pseudo-core, absorbing its terrible qi and blood.

"Again!"

[You begin to absorb the pseudo-core, consuming a great deal of qi and blood...]

The pseudo-source in his hand was being consumed at an incredibly fast pace.

Qin An's eyes remained calm, as the smoke in front of him constantly shifted.

[You have comprehended a little...]

[You have comprehended a little...]

[You estimate that you need a little more Qi and blood to comprehend further]

"Crack!"

A crisp shattering sound spread, the pseudo-source turned into fragments and disappeared from Qin An's hand.

Qin An clenched his fists: "Still lacking a bit."

Now, still a bit short, to completely step into the Gui Cang Realm.

But he no longer had any demon source.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration crossed Qin An's mind.

He raised his gaze scanning the people, shouting: "I wish to breakthrough to Gui Cang, quickly give me the Qi and blood items."

Normally, when breaking through, one needs a considerable amount of Qi and blood as assistance.

Doing so won't expose the Golden Finger matter.

The resources of a bronze patrol officer are far greater than that of a state officer.

When Qin An's voice sounded, everyone knew what Qin An intended.

It was already a moment of crisis, and no one held back.

Money is one thing, but having life to spend it is another.

Immediately, many bronze patrol officers threw out large quantities of blood essence, which rained down like liquid.

Although they lacked demon source, they had plenty of blood essence.

Especially Wuo Lin, who tossed over a radiant demon source, landing in Qin An's hand.

Qin An raised an eyebrow, not expecting Wuo Lin to be well-off.

However, with the urgency, he spoke no further, caught it, and continued absorbing the terrifying Qi and blood.

The Great Elder also heard Qin An's voice, and a sense of ominous feeling floated in his heart.

Without mentioning anything else, if Qin An truly manages to break through, his life would be forfeit.

The Great Elder frantically mobilized his internal Qi, the Pure Yang Power becoming more fierce: "Die, die, die!"

At this moment, under his frantic attack, the many bronze patrol officers were already at their last gasp, and a breach was immediately torn open.

Just as the Great Elder was about to close in, a broken wooden stick blocked the way ahead.

Liao Yang and others had long since collapsed on the ground, although not in life-threatening danger, they couldn't move at all.

They could only widen their eyes, defiantly staring at the Great Elder.

Only Wuo Lin gritted her teeth, tightly gripping the wooden stick in her hand, standing with an arm crossed: "People from the Evil Extermination Bureau, fight till death, do not retreat!"

In the Great Elder's eyes flashed a cold killing intent: "Bitch seeking death!"

Pure Yang Power enveloped his hand, pressing towards Wuo Lin's forehead.

Wuo Lin gritted her teeth, the wooden stick in her hand met the Great Elder's palm.

The wooden stick shattered, blood streamed from the corners of Wuo Lin's mouth, yet she didn't retreat a single step, staring firmly at the Great Elder's palm.

Those who enter the patrol officer's path, do not meet a good end.

She had long been aware of this; if she were to die this way today, it wouldn't be against the name of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

In the Great Elder's eyes, the killing intent was chilling: "Bitch, who can save you!"

As his hand, carrying Pure Yang Power, was about to approach Wuo Lin's forehead, a blade light suddenly flashed.

The Great Elder's face froze, next a sharp pain came from his palm.

Looking down, he found a blood line appearing on his wrist.

Blood gushed out along the blood line, the palm fell to the ground.

The Great Elder looked up in horror to see a cold face.

Qin An held the cold star, pulling Wuo Lin by the waist, casually tossing her behind.

Wuo Lin was full of astonishment, hearing a voice by her ear.

"Fearless in death, past grievances are cast aside."

Wuo Lin landed heavily on the ground, although the fall hurt, the shock in her heart made her forget the pain.

Looking up, Wuo Lin saw Qin An's calm face, his fluttering robes, and the straight blade like ice.

Recalling Qin An's words earlier, her cheeks unconsciously reddened.

Qin An paid no mind to Wuo Lin, turned to look at the Great Elder, eyes flashed with cold killing intent.

[You consumed all Qi and blood, comprehended something at last]

[Two Principles Bodhi Heart and Forging Heart Scripture fused, reaching Gui Cang Realm, you named the new heart method Bodhi Forging Profound Scripture]

[Bodhi Forging Profound Scripture (Initial Mastery)]

He succeeded.

After consuming a vast amount of Qi and blood, Qin An finally evolved the Two Principles Bodhi Heart into Bodhi Forging Profound Scripture, reaching the Initial Gui Cang Realm.

Now, the Bodhi Forging Profound Scripture at Gui Cang level not only possessed ice-fire power but also combined the body forging method of the Forging Heart Scripture.

Using Qi to forge body, it allows the unity of body and Qi, True Qi is manipulated like an extension of the limbs.

Qin An brushed his hand over the scabbard, his expression calm as autumn water: "Just now, you said no one could save?"

A terrifying killing intent erupted from Qin An's body, surging towards the Great Elder like a sea.

The Great Elder's face drastically changed, swallowed hard, as if forgetting the pain of the severed hand, a wave of fear inexplicably welled in his heart.

But he immediately recalled something, restored his courage.

"Both in Gui Cang, I have accumulated a profound foundation, how can you compare as someone who rushed into Gui Cang?"

He had waited many years at Jade Bone Realm Perfection, he had enough foundation, not afraid of Qin An.

Even if Qin An absorbed a Yang Elixir, so what?

Thinking of this, the Great Elder mobilized the True Qi in his body, Pure Yang Power erupted again.

Yet at that moment, a wind sound arose.

The Great Elder hurriedly looked up, only to see the straight blade heading towards his chest.

In the moment of crisis, the Great Elder concentrated all Pure Yang Power in his palms, confronting Qin An's cold star with both hands.

"How will you handle this palm?" The Great Elder's eyes flashed with killing intent.

He compressed all Pure Yang Power onto his palms, the power of this palm, Qin An couldn't possibly withstand.

The Great Elder even imagined the gruesome scene where Qin An was killed by his palm.

Qin An's face was indifferent, Cold Star with a forward-moving momentum clashed with the Great Elder.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing suddenly erupted.

The Pure Yang Power in the Great Elder's hand rapidly dissipated at a visible speed.

Cold Star darted forward, tearing through Pure Yang Power.

The flesh and blood of the Great Elder's palms instantly shattered.

Qin An's expression remained unchanged, piercing through the Great Elder's chest, the ice-fire power like a sweeping wind, obliterating the Great Elder's internal organs.

"Sss—"

Cold Star was pulled out by Qin An.

Qin An wiped the blood on the Great Elder's clothes, sneering: "How will you handle this blade?"
