After absorbing the aura of Tonshengtongdan, Gongsun Cheng's body felt as if an enlightening dew had fallen upon him. A surge of true qi flowed through his body, covering it completely, just like the surging tide!

    Thunderous rumblings were heard.

    He seemed to be having his meridians cleansed, as layers of true qi drained away slowly.

    A blazing divine ray kept expanding non-stop, forming a halo of light.

    Gongsun Cheng was enveloped in the halo, continuously absorbing these divine rays, thus making his essence, spirit, and vitality even more abundant.

    Boom!

    A breakthrough phenomenon emerged from the cultivation room, spreading all around.

    The aura of divine rays erupted violently, becoming numerous ripples that constantly swirled around.

    Ling Qi, the Sect Master, and Zeng Chuan, Yao Guangyuan looked towards the breakthrough phenomenon in the cultivation room after the phenomenon appeared.

    Everyone was shocked beyond words!

    The phenomenon was terrifying, spreading its aura like thunderstorms.

    That was a cultivator's breakthrough phenomenon!

    Gongsun Cheng has broken through!!

    Everyone turned their gaze towards the cultivation room. Suddenly, they heard a creaking sound!

    The cultivation room door creaked open, and Gongsun Cheng walked out.

    His body emitted layer upon layer of subtle auras, and his robe flowed gracefully as they swirled around his form.

    As Gongsun Cheng took each step, he created layer after layer of ripples.

    Ling Qi and the others had their eyes wide with a look of disbelief!

    Gongsun Cheng has broken through to the late stage of Yuan Ying!!

    Indeed, he has indeed broken through to the late stage of Yuan Ying.

    Now, Gongsun Cheng's realm and strength are on par with the most senior elders of the superior sects, and even surpass those of other sect's elders!

    Ling Qi and the people of Qingqing Gate were overjoyed.

    Their faces were flushed with excitement, their eagerness and joy were self-evident.

    With a cultivator at the late stage of Yuan Ying, Qingying Gate has stepped onto the peak, becoming an existence of prominence!

    All of this is thanks to Qin Feng's help!

    Gongsun Cheng immediately bowed to Qin Feng and said, "Thank you, Qin Dao friend, for refining Tonshengtongdan and providing assistance. I have utmost respect for Qin Dao friend. To repay Qin Dao friend's kindness, I will open the treasure vault. Qin Dao friend can go in and pick whatever treasures you want. Please do not refuse."

    "Yes, Elder Gongsun is rightful and justified. As the sect master, I have always intended to do so," said Master Lin Qi, along with others nodding in agreement.

    All the elders of Qingqing Gate echoed this, insisting that Qin Feng go to the treasure vault to choose items.

    As the saying goes, "how can one refuse such heartfelt generosity?"

    Of course, Qin Feng didn't refuse either, for the people of Qingying Gate were indeed overly enthusiastic.

    Moreover, creating Tonshengtongdan oneself had consumed a great deal of effort and required a significant amount of true qi. At present, Qin Feng needed precious resources to absorb and transform in order to replenish his physical strength.

    As an upper-class sect, Qingqing Gate possesses a substantial power. The treasures within the vault must be of considerable value.

    Gongsun Cheng brought Qin Feng to the entrance of the treasure vault, immediately pulling out a key and opening the door.

    Qin Feng bowed to Gongsun Cheng and the others before entering the treasure vault.

    Upon entering, the treasures in the vault were abundant and dazzling, emitting a brilliant glow.

    The resources in the vault included spiritual plants, medicinal herbs, and a multitude of scrolls.

    Each type of cultivation resource was neatly arranged.

    The scrolls were all placed on the upper shelves, the spiritual plants were in the medicinal cabinets, and the medicinal herbs were in the alchemical furnaces.

    Qin Feng was puzzled, for he had never expected to find scrolls in the Qingying Gate's vault.

    He quickly approached the scrolls and opened them.

    The scrolls contained some secret techniques. Some of these techniques used blood as guidance, while others consumed life force.

    Looking at the secret techniques written on the scrolls, Qin Feng immediately dismissed them and put them aside.

    As for the secret techniques within the scrolls, Qin Feng showed no interest.

    After all, the things written in the scrolls had no use for him.

    Moreover, Qingying Gate should have worried about its disciples and elders practicing the secret techniques from the scrolls, so they had sealed them away.

    There was a banishment spell that had been sealed. It was impossible to open the banishment spell to learn the secrets within!

    Qin Feng returned to the medicinal cabinets and alchemical furnaces to select spiritual plants and medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs in Qingqing Gate were all fourth-grade, even some sixth-grade.

    Not bad, to be honest.

    The spiritual plants were around 300-400 years old, with the most valuable being a thousand-year-old one.

    While these medicinal herbs and elixirs are not of the highest grade, they are more than sufficient for restoring his vitality and reinforcing his foundation.

    Qin Feng quickly accepted them without hesitation.

    This way, he can break down and fuse the spiritual plants and elixirs.

    The medicinal herbs and elixirs will then become high-grade entities.

    Although it will take some effort, he can't afford to be picky about obtaining high-grade medicinal herbs and elixirs.

    High-grade medicinal herbs and elixirs can be condensed and absorbed by low-grade ones.

    Without any hesitation, Qin Feng reached out and activated the restriction on his storage ring, thereby transferring all the valuable resources from the vault into his storage ring.

    Of course, there are many valuable resources in the vault, and Qin Feng did not take them all. He only took a portion of the cultivation resources.

    These cultivation resources are all within reason, after all, I cannot be too greedy.

    After Qin Feng had taken the valuable resources, he walked out.

    Lin Qi and the others had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Qin Feng emerge from the treasure vault, they were all overjoyed.

    Quickly, Lin Qi invited Qin Feng to the main hall to attend the banquet.

    This time, with Gongsun Cheng's breakthrough to the late stage of Yuan Ying, it was a great success for Qingying Gate.

    With a cultivator at the late stage of Yuan Ying appearing in a sect, he will be at the peak within the entire sect.

    Qin Feng originally wanted to focus on cultivating and breaking through, but with the invitation from the elders of Qingqing Gate, he could only attend the banquet.

    After a round of polite conversation, the banquet ended.

    Lin Qi then arranged a first-class cultivation room for Qin Feng.

    The cultivation room had a special spatial isolation, shielding it from the contamination of external auras.

    He quickly entered the cultivation room to begin his closed-door cultivation.

    Only now did he begin to circulate his true qi, slowly operating within his palms.

    The true qi was like a wisp of fire, the flame of which was extremely vigorous, causing Qin Feng's half face to be red as if lit on fire.

    Qin Feng absorbed the true qi, then continuously consolidated it within his body.

    A loud "whoosh" sound erupted as a surge of true qi energy waves abruptly spread out, causing the cultivation room to become turbulent.

    Immediately, a blazing divine phenomenon shot across the void from within the cultivation room.

    Before, the spiritual plants and elixirs that Qin Feng had acquired from the treasure vault were constantly fracturing and then solidifying again.

    By fracturing and fusing four fourth-grade elixirs together, they could become fifth-grade elixirs!

    While a hundred-year-old spiritual plant can be used to condense and gather into a spiritual liquid.

    ……

    "Qin Dao friend, could it be that you are about to break through?"

    "Qin Dao friend has only been in the cultivation room for less than two hours, yet there is already a breakthrough phenomenon."

    "This truly shows exceptional talent! Qin Dao friend possesses extraordinary potential!"

    Everyone was in awe. Qin Feng was truly a paragon of talent.
