Qin Ning?
A name that felt very unfamiliar to everyone.
They clearly didn't know of this person's existence before.
But to be the master of Chief Instructor Jiang Yunshan, and having just flown over with Wang Yousheng, such methods were enough to show that Qin Ning's terrifying level of strength had long exceeded what they could ever imagine.
Excitement inevitably appeared on everyone's faces.
To receive his guidance, even if just for a single night, would surely benefit them endlessly.
"Senior... Qin, I want to ask, exactly what realm does one need to reach to be able to fly in the sky like you?" someone stepped forward first, asking the question that everyone wanted the answer to.
"Spirit Transformation."
Qin Ning spoke, "After the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering comes Pulse Condensation. At this stage, you can release the spiritual energy within your body outward, thereby injuring enemies from a distance. However, the spiritual energy intensity of the Pulse Condensation Realm is still too weak, so it cannot support flight. After the Ninth Stage of Pulse Condensation, it is Spirit Transformation."
"Once you reach the Spirit Transformation stage, not only can you better control your spiritual power, but the intensity of that power also completely meets the requirements for flight."
"However..."
Pausing slightly here, Qin Ning spoke again, "Due to the environment, in a place like Earth, let alone the Spirit Transformation Realm, even the Pulse Condensation Realm is almost impossible to reach. On average, if one person out of a hundred million could step into the Spirit Transformation Realm, it would be considered a very high ratio."
Hearing this, a look of disappointment inevitably appeared on everyone's faces.
Obviously, to them, being able to fly in the sky was absolutely akin to being a true god, exceeding worldly and common sense understanding. Now that they were also cultivators, their biggest goal was naturally to become someone who could fly on their own.
But Qin Ning said that in an environment like Earth, it was very difficult to achieve.
This meant that they had almost no chance, or rather, the chance was extremely, extremely slim.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Qin Ning smiled, "My coming here this time, apart from giving you some guidance, is also for another matter, which is to improve the cultivation environment of this base."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, looking at Qin Ning with faces full of curiosity.
Improve the environment?
How to improve it?
What would it be like after the improvement?
"After a successful improvement, the cultivation environment here will receive a massive upgrade. By then, reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm will no longer be purely theoretical for you. As for the probability... it should be able to reach one in ten," Qin Ning stated.
One in ten!
As soon as he said this, everyone present couldn't help but get excited.
Didn't that mean out of ten people, at least one could become a Spirit Transformation expert?
Was this real?
"Senior, besides being able to fly, just how powerful... is the Spirit Transformation Realm?" another person asked.
Qin Ning smiled faintly. "To ordinary worldly people, the Pulse Condensation Realm already exceeds their understanding. Cultivators at this stage can resist bullets with their physical bodies, release spiritual power outwardly, and injure enemies from a distance."
"And the Spirit Transformation Realm above Pulse Condensation goes without saying. With humanity's current technology, it is almost impossible to kill them, because cultivators at this stage can already survive for long periods by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Spiritual energy is ethereal; even in a vacuum environment, it still exists. This means that cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Realm level can survive in a vacuum."
Hearing this, everyone's faces once again showed incredibly burning expressions. Someone else asked, "Senior, then are you a Spirit Transformation Realm expert?"
"Me? Spirit Transformation?"
Qin Ning chuckled. "Let me put it this way. Even if everyone on the globe possessed the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Realm and joined forces, they couldn't withstand a single finger of mine."
As soon as he said this, everyone present was left speechless.
This included Wang Yousheng and Jiang Yunshan. They originally thought they had some understanding of Qin Ning.
But they didn't expect that their perception of him seemed to be merely one-sided.
What was the population of the world?
If all of them possessed the strength of the Spirit Transformation Realm, they still couldn't withstand a single finger of Qin Ning?
This was simply too exaggerated.
Someone gulped, "Then doesn't that mean... with one finger, you could destroy Earth..."
"If I wanted to, a single slap could turn all the matter in the entire solar system into ash in an instant," Qin Ning smiled.
At this, everyone fell silent.
Reaching such a level, they could no longer imagine just how powerful Qin Ning truly was.
After finishing asking these questions, everyone subsequently began to ask about the problems they encountered in their own cultivation.
Qin Ning patiently and detailedly provided answers to all their questions.
...
A night passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone, including Wang Yousheng and Jiang Yunshan, benefited immensely.
Afterwards, Qin Ning stood up alone and began to transform the environment of the cultivation base.
Unlike the transformation in Liu City.
The cultivation base had a larger area and required more spirit stones.
Fortunately, some time ago, he had already instructed Wang Yousheng to help gather top-quality jades from all over the country, so he could refine them into spirit stones.
And Wang Yousheng did not disappoint Qin Ning's high hopes. With the full support of Elder Liu and Elder Zeng, he had practically brought over all the top-quality jades in the country.
The sheer quantity of these jades somewhat exceeded Qin Ning's expectations, piled up in a massive warehouse within the base.
When Wang Yousheng and Jiang Yunshan brought Qin Ning into the warehouse, Qin Ning swept it with his divine sense and made a rough estimation. These jades could be refined into at least over ten thousand spirit stones.
This was not a small number.
At least, it was so in an environment like Earth.
To improve the base's environment to the same level as the villa where Wang Er and the others lived, Qin Ning calculated that it would take about eight thousand spirit stones. There would be over two thousand left, which could perfectly be given to Qin Fei for her cultivation.
No matter what happened or what resources were available, the first person he always thought of would only be Qin Fei.
The materials in the warehouse, apart from being able to be refined into spirit stones, also included some that could be refined into simple magical artifacts.
Qin Ning accepted them all.
"Buzz!"
He slightly raised his right hand, and then all the jades placed in the warehouse flew up, as if enveloped by an invisible force.
Under the astonished gazes of Wang Yousheng and Jiang Yunshan, these jades seemed to melt into water, and then began to reshape, being refined into stones of special shapes—these were impressively spirit stones.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
