The appearance of the girl in white had attracted the attention of all the disciples who were present. They began to discuss among themselves.

“Senior Ling Ran won the favor of the current Holy Lord, and he personally took her in as his direct disciple. I’ve heard that her physique is extraordinary. It’s the legendary King Body. At the age of 13, she had already reached the Liangyi Realm. And in the past three years, she has probably reached the Sancai Realm already.”

“I heard she already reached the Sancai Realm three months ago. There aren’t many disciples of the same generation who are at that realm in the whole of Taiyi Holy Land, not to mention Senior Ling Ran is only 16 years old this year. We’re the same age, but she’s already a powerful cultivator in the Sancai Realm. She really puts us to shame.”

“Soon, the holy land will be selecting the Holy Son and Holy Daughter. With Senior Ling Ran’s talent and age, she has a high chance of being selected!”

Many of the disciples spoke in quiet voices. They looked towards Ling Ran, the Holy Lord’s direct disciple, all of them envious.

She had the legendary King Body, superb talent, and was the direct disciple of the incumbent Holy Lord. She definitely had a high chance of succeeding the current Holy Daughter.

Qin Chen could not help but glance at Ling Ran. Her beauty was indeed out of this world. Her every move exhibited a different kind of charm, and she seemed to be one with heaven and earth.

Moreover, to have reached the Sancai Realm at that age, she must be very strong.

One had to understand that each of the 10 major realms in the cultivation world were as different as heaven and earth.

Opening the divine sea, entering the Yiyuan Realm and officially becoming a cultivator was merely the starting point.

Any Yiyuan Realm cultivator would have the strength of tens of thousands of pounds. In the mortal world, one could become the most powerful general, far exceeding ordinary people.

Entering the Liangyi Realm meant that one had the ability to fly in the air and burrow underground. In the mortal world, many would consider the person immortal.

Upon reaching the Sancai Realm, the cultivator’s spiritual wisdom would be greatly broadened, and he or she would begin to understand the spirits. The cultivator would be able to split mountains and cleave stones, with terrifying strength.

…

The increase in abilities from one major realm to another was not as simple as one plus one.

If not for the system, Qin Chen would not have been able to open his divine sea, let alone possess the Chaotic Holy Body.

Ling Ran was about the same age, but had already reached the Sancai Realm. Among the numerous disciples in Taiyi Holy Land, she was definitely outstanding. She had even been accepted as the direct disciple of the Taiyi Holy Lord in advance. Her future prospects were limitless.

Before he had gotten the system, he would have had to look up to her, as if she was a cherished daughter of heaven.

Ling Ran had a cold expression. Wherever she went, the other disciples made way. But she did not stay there. Soon after, she rode on a long rainbow and left through the sky, leaving her beautiful backview.

“What a pity. I thought Senior Ling Ran would be cultivating here.”

“You were over optimistic. Senior Ling Ran is a direct disciple of the Holy Lord and a candidate for Holy Daughter. She receives a special supply of spirit stones for cultivation every month, and has her own personal cultivation cave. She doesn’t need to work so hard to cultivate like us ordinary disciples.”

As a direct disciple of the Holy Lord, and a candidate for Holy Daughter, naturally her treatment was different from the rest. She had a personal cultivation cave and spirit stones given to her for cultivation.

Qin Chen briefly glanced at the beautiful figure of the Holy Daughter candidate Ling Ran as she left, before immediately saying silently, “System, I want to check in here!”

[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have been rewarded 100 exotic spirit stones – Purple Crystals.]

In the system space, 100 different types of Purple Crystals appeared. As exotic spirit stones, each one was equivalent to 30 pounds of spirit stones. In total, they were equivalent to 3,000 pounds of spirit stones.

“What a pity, such a small amount of spirit stones.”

Qin Chen mumbled in disappointment. Compared to the Divine Spirit Source at Taiyi Main Hall, it was almost a hundred times worse.

However, it made sense. Taiyi Main Hall had been built on the intersection of past dragon vessels and origin vessels. Plus, its terrain was extraordinary. The place he was at was merely a cultivation location for ordinary disciples. Getting 3,000 pounds worth of spirit stones in exotic Purple Crystals was already pretty good.

If the other disciples found out, they would certainly be appalled.

Because they were only allocated a spirit stone the size of a baby’s fist each month – not even half a pound.

Even Ling Ran, a direct disciple of the Holy Lord, as well as many other elders, could only obtain up to 1,000 pounds of spirit stones a month.

Yet, he had looked down on his large number of spirit stones. He should be ashamed.

After that, Qin Chen returned to the hidden cave. This time, he took out the exotic spirit stones to cultivate. He operated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra and continuously devoured spiritual energy from the exotic spirit stones, transforming them into his own divine power. His cultivation was steadily improving.

Before he realized it, a month had passed since Qin Chen first obtained the check-in system.

The place with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor’s footprint was being heavily monitored by the holy land. And Taiyi Main Hall was not a place he could casually visit. So during that period of time, Qin Chen had basically checked in to various small places nearby. Of course, the divinity of those places were far inferior to those at Taiyi Main Hall and the place with the emperor’s mark, and so were the check-in rewards he received.

As for other places that might contain powerful divinity, they were either important or forbidden areas within the holy land, not places that ordinary people could set foot on.

Furthermore, those places were far away. Therefore, before Qin Chen had reached a sufficiently high cultivation level, he did not dare to take the risk.

Even so, by checking in, Qin Chen had earned heaps of spirit stones, supernormal knowledge, precious medicine, extraordinary materials for the forging of weapons, and so on.

If information about those treasures were to get out, it would be enough to make the elders of Taiyi Holy Land – even the supreme elders – green with envy.

After a month of cultivation, the 100 Purple Crystals had been completely exhausted.
