The moment Tian entered, he felt a strong gush of Spiritual energy entering his meridian. The sheer quality and quantity of the Spiritual qi in the air was hundreds of times more than outside. Tian was surprised with the beautiful environment inside. The Spiritual pool was actually formed inside a cave and the City Lord Manor was built on top of that. The light from the Spiritual pool illuminated the entire surroundings with pale blue light.

Tian sensed many layers of array formations all around the Spiritual pool, they were placed to protect the Spiritual pool from outsiders and also keep the Spiritual energy trapped inside the room. He was amazed with the level of protection the city lord manor has placed over here.

Tian looked around and has seen that there was no one except him inside the Spiritual pool, seems like the other two winners have already used their time inside the Spiritual pool, and looks like he'll be all alone for a while. He looked at the array formations with a grin on his face.

After moving around the Spiritual pool, Tian started to modify the array formations and started to change their positions, adding more inscriptions to them. After a while, the Spiritual pool started to glow even brightly.

All the Spiritual energy inside the room was sucked dry by the formation and was getting redirected to a single point, where Tian was sitting.

He furiously started to absorb the Spiritual power and using all the Spiritual energy, he started to attack his second meridians blockage. The energy kept on pumping, but the meridian showed no sign of opening.

Tian took out the Rising Sun Pill and consumed it. His body started heating up, steams of sweat were coming from his body. The energy from the pill provided him more yang energy, he started to break into the second meridian again and again.

The Spiritual energy was gushing in tides onto the meridian. After sometime, the meridian showed signs of opening. The moment his second meridian opened, all the Spiritual energy inside the pool was almost sucked dry. If the old man guarding the Spiritual pool saw this, he'll be utterly flabbergasted.

The Spiritual energy inside the Spiritual pool was not something even a 10 Energy Advancement stage cultivators can absorb, yet it was all absorbed by Tian's meridians alone.

The second meridian provided Tian with lots of place for absorbing the Spiritual energy. With all the energy, he instantly broke through into 6th layer body refinement, 7th layer body refinement and it didn't stop there, he directly broke through into the Energy Advancement realm.

Unlike the Body refinement and Blood refinement realms, the Energy Advancement realm is divided into three cultivation stages. They are primary stage, Intermediate stage and advanced stage.

With the energy from the Spiritual pool and the boost from the Rising Sun Pill, Tian was able to directly step into Energy Advancement realm. He slowly breathed and tried to assimilate the yang essence form the Rising Sun Pill into his meridians.

The yang essence was just enough for Tian to cultivate The Divine Touch. He was completely engrossed in the cultivation.

After a few hours Tian opened his eyes and released a slow breath. Finally, he had successfully cultivated the Divine Touch. He had been waiting so long for this. Now he'll be able to teach Zhang Tie about cultivating his meridians and also transfer his medical skills to the six brothers. With that, he'll be able to relax even more, while they make the potions and pills for him.

"Haaahahahahaa....", Tian laughed crazily, imagining how he can simply rest and make the brothers do all the hard work. 'Finally, i can truly relax and enjoy my life'

There were still four hours left before he can exit. He didn't know what else he can do, so he simply laid down and started to cultivate his sleeping technique. Hours passed by and he was sleeping happily.

When the 8 hours were up, the old man opened the massive doors to make Tian leave the Spiritual pool. But when he looked inside, he was completely dumbfounded. Never in his life did he imagine for someone to be sleeping inside the Spiritual pool. His lips started to twitch, 'This damned Kid! How can he have the luxury to sleep inside the Spiritual pool? Each minute cultivating here is so precious that it can't even be compared to taking those alchemy pills.'

When Tian felt someone's presence he opened his eyes and started rubbing them in sleep, "Hey, Good morning grandpa", the word grandpa slipped out of his mouth. The old man gritted his teeth and glared at him, he was about to say something but then he suddenly realized that Tian has broken through to Energy Advancement realm.

"Ho-.. How did you break through into Energy Advancement realm?!!!", the old man mumbled as he pointed his finger towards Tian.

TIan just shrugged and said, "I don't know, maybe it's my luck or may be its the effects of the Energy from the Spiritual pool", Tian started walking towards the exit as he said that.

"Don't talk nonsense, I have seen many people enter the Spiritual pool in my life, but I've never seen someone make such a huge progress", the old man stood there and yelled at Tian.

"Guess you could call me a genius then", Tian laughed as he left the room. The old man face palmed and sighed, even the old man had to agree on that. He sealed the Spiritual pool again and stood guard, thinking about his granddaughter. Then he suddenly gave off a perverted and scheming gaze as he looked towards the exit.

Tian lazily yawned as he walked towards the exit. He came out of the Manor and started stretching his body. The guard at the gate greeted him properly this time as he smiled towards Tian.

Zhang Tie was waiting outside the manor since two hours, finally when he saw Tian, he rushed towards him. But when he reached him, he was able to feel very powerful energy from Tian, he understood that Tian has broken through again and he was happy about it.

Later he started explaining to Tian how he was able to improve his Lightning foot technique by combating with others in the battle arena. This caught Tian's mind, real fights were more helpful for anyone to gain understanding of battle techniques. Then he thought back to his Raging fist technique, he was thinking of going back to the Huang forest. This time, he wanted to go to the center region.

When they started leaving from the City Lord Manor, Tian sensed that some people were following them. After breaking through into Energy Advancement, all his senses were improved and he was able to perceive things many times better than an average human.

He sense the power levels of the one's who were following him, using his Divine arts from his previous life. There were one Primary Energy Advancement stage cultivator and two 7th layer blood refinement cultivators following them.
