Just like that, Qin Ming went to trade once every month.

Since Qin Ming's last trade, word had spread throughout the Secret Realm.

There was a Mysterious Merchant with countless perfect elixirs, and the price was just the market price of perfect elixirs outside.

Most importantly, besides Cultivation Techniques and Medicinal Pills, the Mysterious Merchant accepted everything, and he had an endless supply of perfect elixirs that seemed as if they would never run out.

So, when Qin Ming went to trade again, there were not only Major Powers but also Lone Explorers of the Secret Realm, and even Martial Artists below the rank of Martial King coming to trade.

In order to collect more spirit plants and treasures, Qin Ming reached an agreement with many Powers to ban the killing of Low-level Martial Artists within the High Tower, and even around its vicinity.

If any Low-level Martial Artists were killed near the High Tower, as long as it was seen by the patrolling Martial Kings, the killers would all be put to death.

A few Robbers, relying on their cultivation at the Martial King Realm, didn't take the words of Qin Ming and others to heart at all and continued to rob Low-level Martial Artists around the High Tower as they pleased.

After their heads were hung in front of the High Tower's gate the next day, no one dared to challenge this Rules again.

From then on, Qin Ming's trades had no order-related issues, and every transaction went very smoothly… inside the basement beneath the High Tower.

The Spiritual Qi around Qin Ming was abundant, and the ground was covered with Spirit Stones; the statue next to the pool was constantly consuming and expelling Spirit Stones, releasing Spiritual Qi.

"It hurts so much." Qin Ming's face was covered in sweat, and his body trembled slightly, as if he were experiencing some kind of agony.

Waves of Spiritual Qi were inhaled into Qin Ming's body, and the statue immediately spat out more Spiritual Qi, continuing the cycle.

As Qin Ming absorbed more and more Spiritual Qi, a whirlwind formed around him. Still unsatisfied, he continued to frantically inhale the Spiritual Qi, causing the resulting storm of Qi to grow larger and larger, even blowing about the Spirit Stones on the ground.

"Keep going, keep it coming, break for me!" Qin Ming roared, enduring the pain as he gathered the Spiritual Qi and absorbed it into his Dantian.

Colorful was shouting nervously nearby, cheering Qin Ming on.

"Phew…" Exhaling, Qin Ming wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and sighed with emotion, "Finally reached Martial Spirit. It wasn't easy. Now, at last, my cultivation is higher than that of my Disciples."

Qin Ming had already been Cultivating here for two years. This was a place specifically for cultivation within the Ancient Secret Realm, and the building contained devices specifically for regulating and converting Spiritual Qi.

Furthermore, this regulation could make the Spiritual Qi incredibly docile, allowing it to be absorbed directly into the body.

In his past life, Qin Ming had used this type of building to Cultivate on the Yuan Continent.

Such buildings only appeared in Secret Realms, and no one had ever been able to figure out how they operated.

Even if one were to dismantle it and break it down into small pieces, they still wouldn't be able to see how it made the Spiritual Qi docile.

Even on the Yuan Continent, one could only find such buildings by entering an Ancient Secret Realm.

And all Ancient Secret Realms had time limits; some lasted for a month, while others lasted for ten years.

However, most discovered Secret Realms would appear once every few hundred years, unlike this Secret Realm, which had never appeared before and only manifested now.

Who knows how long one would have to wait to enter the Secret Realm again; perhaps another tens of thousands of years.

By then, Qin Ming estimated he would have already reached the level of Martial God, and even if such a building were still usable, it would have no effect on him.

"Forget it, being able to Cultivate for two years is already a huge gain for me. Those Powers fighting for the Treasure Trove above probably don't even know the capabilities of this building!"
