In the detached courtyard.
Liu Mingyang practiced a basic Refinent Body Fist Technique with precision and seriousness in the yard. Among the vast amount of martial arts collected by Li Chengyi beforehand, this was one that suited him well, nad Stead Wind Fist, belonging to White-Level Martial Arts. When practiced to a high level, it could greatly strengthen the hardness and resilience of the body, making it difficult to injure and highly forgiving of errors.
Inside the room.
Li Chengyi sat cross-legged, already cultivating Void NightStep, a martial art designed to enhance speed. He planned to practice the Triple Yin Canon Techniques, but his pursuit of speed led him to prioritize Void NightStep.
In the neat training room, the surroundings were empty; directly in front, an incense burner held a stick of incense.
The tranquil aroma involuntarily cald the spirit and sharpened the focus.
The core of Void NightStep’s cultivation lay in stillness.
In stillness, one would perceive the details of one’s body, eliminate all sluggishness and obstructions, thereby achieving a state where all channels were unblocked and one’s speed was unmatched.
Of course, being unmatched was an exaggeration, but the technique was undoubtedly effective.
As Li Chengyi completed entering stillness, he stood up and began his first practice of the form that raised True Qi.
His hands ford a strange seal, resembling the shape of wings in flight, while he stood on one leg, the toe of his other leg lightly touching the ground.
His muscles quivered at a fixed rhythm, oscillating three tis per second.
He focused his mind, cald his breath, and imagined himself as a colossal bird soaring through the black of night.
A creature with the head of a human, the neck of a serpent, and the body of a bird, known as the Void Night Eagle.
Soon, streams of Essence of the True Seal began to seep through his skin, cool as silk. They rapidly combined with Consciousness Power and the circulation of blood and energy,
"Speed up, don’t make force you!" Li Chengyi used the Flower Language Power quite gently.
Imdiately, the Essence of the True Seal perating his skin jolted, and then the speed surged, flooding into his body at a rate many tis faster than before.
The terrifying speed at which one month of practice equaled twenty years for others erupted once again.
Massive amounts of Essence of the True Seal rged with Consciousness Power and blood energy, forming a brand-new, pale red Blood Essence.
This ti, it was not True Qi anymore, but the red Blood Essence similar to other Blood Essence Martial Artists, marking the mont he truly stepped from the level of a True Qi Martial Practitioner to a new tier.
Unlike other Blood Essence Martial Artists who sought to regress to their primal state to reach the realm of their ancestors’ Spirit Fusion,
he had completed the Spirit Fusion True Seal Form from the start. Now he just needed to develop new martial arts.
In the quiet room, a large amount of Blood Essence quickly gathered, filling his body at this mont.
This also considerably accelerated Li Chengyi’s progress toward the fourth Imprint...

Two years later...
Chen Jiahan leisurely followed the crowd into Quling Mansion.
Looking at the bizarre, dark red citadel full of fortresses and high towers, he felt sowhat emotional.
Ten years ago, he had entered this place when Big Brother Li Chengyi instructed him to beco stronger and cultivate martial arts here.
Now, ten years later... using the Flower Language Ability, he had founded a small sect called Bagua Gate in a town not far from Quling Mansion.
Nowadays, Bagua Gate could be considered as having absorbed the essence of the local martial arts. Integrating it created a completely new martial arts style, with greatly enhanced power—at least it had found a True Qi Martial Art to complent it.
Upon learning that Li Chengyi had beco the Fifth Yin God of Quling Mansion, he imdiately went to contact him and report his progress in detail.
Another two years had passed, and his martial cultivation had now reached a level close to Spirit Infusion. Catching up with others’ decades of progress in ten years, his talent and determination were evident.
Returning to Quling Mansion now ant he was responding to Li Chengyi’s notification to co and et a new companion and complete his own new progress.
Chen Jiahan sped up confidently, familiar with the route. Before long, he arrived at a white-walled detached courtyard.
He approached and knocked.
Knock, knock, knock.
The door automatically opened. Chen Jiahan stepped inside and imdiately saw Da Xiong squatting on the ground, playing with a strange, black hunting dog.
"You’re here too?!" he expressed, surprised.
"What? Why shouldn’t I be here? If I had known this place was so magical, with such a huge difference in the flow of ti, I would have begged Big Brother to send here long ago." Da Xiong had changed into a red Floral Dress, with a white undergarnt, and her long hair tied into a pretty double bun, like that of an unmarried girl. This attire perfectly accentuated her most significant assets, showing not a trace of modern society.
"You might not adapt to this place," Chen Jiahan said as he looked towards Li Chengyi, who was standing under a tree nearby.
"My lord, I have arrived," he said gravely as he approached.
"You’ve finally reached the Spirit Infusion stage, so I asked you to co," Li Chengyi turned to face his subordinate, who he had brought in ten years ago.
The other’s level of martial cultivation was only at the True Qi level, but his true strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Blood Essence Martial Artist.
Even common Blood Body experts, if not at the Spirit Fusion level, were no match for him.
"My lord, I understand. Spirit Infusion is perilous, but that’s for others. For , it’s not a big issue," Chen Jiahan confidently affird.
"Are you sure?" Li Chengyi scrutinized him closely.
The Flower Language Ability is each holder’s greatest secret and trump card, so he did not inquire about the subordinate’s specific power.
For subordinates, it was enough to trust their abilities. After all, the Floral Bead was intimately linked to him, and losing his approval would an losing the Flower Language Power.
With the greatest rein in hand, he should be as lenient as possible with the rest.
"Actually, the effect of my ability is mainly reflected in the comprehensive enhancent of bodily consciousness, and the degree of enhancent is significant," Chen Jiahan explained.
Chen Jiahan rarely gave a straightforward answer about the general abilities of his Flower Language Ability.
"If you’re confident about passing through the Spirit Infusion Realm, I won’t say much. Just make your breakthrough here. With watching, even if sothing goes wrong, I can pull you back in ti."
Li Chengyi’s Blood Essence was extrely adept at healing and regeneration. While practicing the Void NightStep, he also cultivated the Triple Yin Canon Techniques.
Cultivating four martial arts techniques at the sa ti was sothing only a freak like him could sustain.
The terrifying tenfold vitality brought about an all-around enhancent.
His life force was strong enough to support the cultivation of four techniques simultaneously.
Now, the regenerative power of his Blood Essence was almost ridiculously exaggerated.
To common people, to martial practitioners, and even to soone like Tiancan Qiuming, a dual imprint Blood Essence Martial Artist, it offered extrely strong recovery effects.
He could even forcefully pull back soone on the brink of death.
"Understood!" Chen Jiahan quickly responded.
He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and adjusted his state.
Li Chengyi waved his hand, scattering a red light that enveloped the surrounding courtyard to avoid prying eyes from the outside world.
Da Xiong quietly watched from the side.
She was also quite curious about this blind spot’s True Seal Martial Arts, and since there were no experintal facilities, she had only managed to barely use her Flower Language Ability to spawn a mutated hunting dog as her bodyguard.
But a re hunting dog, no matter how strong, was far from comparable to True Qi Martial Practitioners and Blood Essence Martial Artists.
"If Chen Jiahan makes the breakthrough, he will take you to conduct the biochemical research here," Li Chengyi said, his gaze on Chen Jiahan, though his words were addressed to Da Xiong.
"Yes," Da Xiong replied in a low voice.
The infection of the red-eye disease and the mutation of the Blood Body were biological scientific wonders that had long piqued her curiosity.
As long as she collected enough samples and cultivated a large number of mutated cells... She might be able to create an unprecedentedly powerful individual.
"By the way, I heard that you want to take the sample cells of and Xiao Zhong, absorb and strengthen the genes, and then breed a large Colossal Beast?" Li Chengyi suddenly asked.
"That’s the idea... But for safety’s sake, I first cultured the enhanced virus to infect myself, increasing my body’s data. However, this enhancent is far inferior to that of a Blood Body here... the difference is vast, like between one and a hundred!" Da Xiong said, her cheeks blushing and her body trembling as if she were drooling with excitent. Her whole being exuded a pathological beauty.
"If you have any results regarding viral enhancent, inform imdiately," Li Chengyi instructed.
"Will do!"
As they spoke, Chen Jiahan’s skin had beco bloated, and his originally fair complexion was now dotted red.
His handso face also began to swell as if inflating.
This was a sign that the body could not withstand the Spirit Infusion to the point of bursting, like a balloon.
Just as the two of them started to worry, suddenly, Chen Jiahan’s eyes opened wide, and a pale purple halo lit up his entire body.
Countless purple-red petals of Phalaenopsis surrounded and suffused him, coalescing into a suit of hollow Armor that covered only the joints and torso.
The Armor was not elaborate, even quite plain, looking not much different from that of an ordinary soldier’s, and provided no protection for the limbs, covered in Phalaenopsis patterns throughout.
But as soon as this Floral Dress appeared, coupled with the pale purple halo, the abnormalities on Chen Jiahan’s body started to shrink back to normal instantaneously.
"It’s the Phalaenopsis..." Li Chengyi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"As for the Flower Language, it should be pure love," Da Xiong added.
As users of the Flower Language Technique like them, they naturally considered various Flower Language Abilities as common knowledge.
Unless it was another flower mutated in the blind spot, they vividly rembered what the Flower Language of most flora was.
Li Chengyi recalled the Flower Language Ability associated with pure love in his mind.
’To turn one’s love into tangible power, covering oneself to enhance and protect, the stronger the love, the greater the enhancent and protection. It can be used once a day, with no limit on the duration.
If the protection is not consud, it can be accumulated and stacked multiple tis, with no upper limit.’
"...This Flower Language... if used well, can indeed play a significant role at critical monts. It can also amplify all martial arts offense and defense," Li Chengyi comnted sincerely.
No wonder Chen Jiahan was confident he could endure through the Spirit Infusion stage.
Da Xiong nodded in agreent from the side.
The two of them waited quietly, anticipating the next transformation.
Ti ticked away, and before they knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Finally, Chen Jiahan suddenly let out a long breath, and the Floral Dress around him vanished instantly.
"It’s a success. Next is Spirit Fusion! The most dangerous part, the Spirit Infusion, is over; now, it’s about how many spirits of the True Seal he can rge. The more he fuses, the stronger he becos," Li Chengyi explained.
"I’ll complete the Spirit Fusion right here," Chen Jiahan imdiately took the opportunity to propose.
"Good!"
Li Chengyi nodded and continued to stand guard by his side.
With Chen Jiahan’s Dragon Realm foundation, his terrifying martial arts talent, and the protection of the Flower Language Power, after several days, everything proceeded smoothly.
Li Chengyi’s subordinates who were Flower Language Power users, finally welcod their first Imprint strongman, other than himself!
Following that, Li Chengyi started to incorporate new team mbers. Shaoyin Country beca a stable rear-base training ground after he beca the Fifth Yin God.
With the vast resources available from the authority of a Yin God, martial arts, a sufficiently safe and stable environnt, and a shortcut to mastering the Imprint martial arts, it was undoubtedly the best place to rapidly enhance the entire team.
While he was recruiting and training people, he himself was also accumulating full Blood Essence, preparing to enter the great achievent realm of the Void NightStep and undergo Spirit Infusion.
After Spirit Infusion, ca Spirit Fusion, the fusion of the Imprint—the fourth Imprint.
