Qin Shilei picked up the sword talisman.
[Proceed with attribute refresh?]
[Refresh.]
Energy Accumulation (Red): The sword talisman will slowly absorb spiritual energy, enhancing the power of sealed sword moves.
All-Purpose (Purple): The sword talisman can not only seal sword moves but also seal the combat skills of eighteen kinds of weapons.
Capacity Doubled (Orange): The number of sword moves the sword talisman can seal increases from one to three.
Qin Shilei's eyes lit up, and he unhesitatingly fixed the Capacity Doubled attribute.
The thought of three simultaneous Sky-Breaking Swords with doubled power striking the target was exhilarating.
After fixing the attribute, Qin Shilei eagerly took the sword talisman outside the city.
He activated Dharma Manifestation, then unleashed a Sky-Breaking Sword towards the talisman suspended in front of him.
The sword talisman flashed white, absorbing the full power of the Sky-Breaking Sword.
Qin Shilei then launched two more Sky-Breaking Swords at the talisman.
When he picked up the sword talisman again, he found three white lines on it.
Qin Shilei handed the sword talisman to An Qian, "Try activating it."
As An Qian infused her vital energy into the talisman, a sword shadow larger than Qin Shilei's Sky-Breaking Sword appeared before everyone.
The hundreds of meters tall sword shadow instantly carved a massive ravine into a small mountain ahead.
The power had indeed doubled.
Then Kong Qingshu and Zhang Xiaoli also tested the sword talisman.
Even Zhang Xiaoli, an ability user, could easily control the sword talisman.
However, when Qin Shilei prepared to seal another Sky-Breaking Sword into the talisman, he was prompted that the doubled power of the sword move would only be effective again after one day.
"Take this sword talisman."
Qin Shilei handed the sword talisman to An Qian, then gestured for her to open another golden treasure chest.
Another two rays of light, one orange and one purple, emanated from within.
Earth's Blessing (Purple): As long as you stand on the earth, you will receive the earth's blessing, with a one hundred percent increase in recovery ability and a one hundred percent increase in earth-elemental ability power.
This was a jade pendant, a top-grade jade pendant for an earth-elemental evolver.
Unfortunately, neither Qin Shilei nor the others were earth-elemental.
After refreshing and fixing an attribute that increased effectiveness by thirty percent, Qin Shilei gave this jade pendant to Zhang Xiaoli, which would accelerate her mental recovery and enhance her combat endurance.
The last orange item was a formation diagram.
Spirit Gathering Formation (Orange): When activated with crystal sources or crystal cores, it can increase the concentration of spiritual energy within a thousand-meter radius.

Range Doubled (Red): The range covered by the Spirit Gathering Formation is doubled.
Spirit Dispersion (Red): In addition to increasing spiritual energy within the formation, the Spirit Gathering Formation can also quickly disperse spiritual energy within the formation.
Efficiency Doubled (Purple): The consumed crystal cores are doubled, and the efficiency of increasing spiritual energy is also doubled.
After fixing the Efficiency Doubled attribute, Qin Shilei set up the Spirit Gathering Formation in his residence within the Blessed Land.
As crystal cores were continuously consumed, the spiritual energy within the formation increased at a visible rate.
Half a day later, the spiritual energy within the Spirit Gathering Formation was more than ten times that of the outside, and it maintained this level.
Qin Shilei and An Qian and the others immediately sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
The spiritual energy, almost condensed into liquid form, surged into them.
Their cultivation began to increase rapidly.
A day later, Qin Shilei and the others finished their cultivation one after another.
"I've advanced," An Qian said with joy.
"I've also advanced," Zhang Xiaoli and Kong Qingshu chimed in.
"The effect of the Blessed Land combined with the Spirit Gathering Formation is truly powerful. We should cultivate here from now on," Qin Shilei sighed.
His own cultivation was also on the verge of advancing to Platinum Two-star.
At the current rate, it would not take a month for An Qian and the others to reach the Golden peak and begin their breakthrough to the Platinum realm.
"These two crystal sources have also recovered by half. They should be ready for cultivation again tomorrow," An Qian said happily, pointing to the two crystal sources beside them.
"With this, the speed at which you advance to the Golden peak will accelerate again."
Qin Shilei instructed the three women to stay and cultivate here during this period, striving to reach the Platinum realm as soon as possible.
He also extracted attributes from them and temporarily replaced them with attributes that increased cultivation speed.
Through their experiments, Qin Shilei and the others found that the Spirit Gathering Formation, while supporting the normal cultivation of the four of them and the recovery of three crystal cores, could additionally support the cultivation of ten Golden realm experts.
Therefore, he began to arrange for those Golden experts with great merit to cultivate in this place on a rotating basis.
While An Qian and the others were in deep cultivation in the Blessed Land, Qin Shilei returned to the Qin An Royal Mansion.
Looking at the purple-armored beetle ravenously devouring food, he thought for a moment and extracted the Gluttonous Stomach attribute from it.
Then, he fixed this attribute onto Vajra.
"Erp!"
The purple-armored beetle burped contentedly and said, "I'm finally full."
Meanwhile, Vajra pounced on the pile of food the glutton had been eating and began to devour it voraciously.
Qin Shilei intended to use the Gluttonous Stomach attribute to create several more Platinum realm pets within a year, in preparation for the Platinum experts of the alien races.
He summoned Zhang Qiang and asked, "Brother Zhang, has the middle-aged man from the Righteous Alliance appeared these past two days?"
Zhang Qiang shook his head, "He hasn't appeared, and according to news from various cities, members of the Righteous Alliance have not been seen in any of our cities."
"Could it be that the members of the Righteous Alliance have already retreated to their spatial secret realm?" Qin Shilei murmured to himself.
After pondering, he decided to investigate the location of their spatial secret realm.
An hour later, Qin Shilei arrived at a forest about a hundred kilometers north of Lingquan City.
He searched the forest for a long time before finding the valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, as described by Sun Hongying.
However, Qin Shilei searched the valley for a long time without finding any entrance or exit to the spatial secret realm, nor could he sense its presence.
Since the Blessed Land needed him to be inside a secret realm to merge with it, Qin Shilei couldn't use that to locate the spatial secret realm.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly heard spatial fluctuations not far ahead.
Then, a two-meter-wide spatial exit appeared in front of him.
A middle-aged man in his forties, accompanied by one woman and two men, emerged from the exit.
"Hi, hello there!" Qin Shilei waved his hand at them.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" the middle-aged man asked sternly, narrowing his eyes.
"My name is Qin Shilei, and I came to find you," Qin Shilei said with a smile.
"Did Tang Yuanlong and the others send you? Where are they?" the middle-aged man asked with a look of confusion.
"Did Tang Yuanlong and the others not return to your spatial secret realm?" Qin Shilei, however, was more curious about the whereabouts of Tang Yuanlong and the others.
"You're not sent by Tang Yuanlong? Then how did you find this place?" The middle-aged man's expression flickered with a dangerous ferocity.
Qin Shilei suddenly produced a photograph, "Do you recognize this person?"
The photograph was of the middle-aged man who had visited the Qin An Royal Mansion two days prior.
"I'm the one asking you now, not the other way around," the middle-aged man said with displeasure. "Never mind, I'll capture you first, and we'll see if you're still so insolent then."
With that, he flashed and lunged towards Qin Shilei.
