The system is the proficiency panel

It was snowing heavily, and the entire Xuantian City was shrouded in a world of white. In this freezing winter, Lin Ji stood on a towering pavilion in the City Lord's Mansion, overlooking the entire city, letting the flying snow fall on his shoulders.

At this time, more than six months had passed since Hou Guan and others left. During this period, some changes had taken place in the East Continent. The railway had been laid, and trains had begun to run officially. The houses of ordinary people had gradually changed from thatched huts to stone brick houses, and public toilets had also begun to be newly built. The living standards were slowly improving.

Compared to mortals, the biggest change for cultivators is the unification of the East Continent and the Tower of Trials, which has led to fewer conflicts in reality and made the entire East Continent unprecedentedly peaceful.

"Owner."

At this time, a soft voice sounded. Luo Youran, wearing a blue dress, was standing behind Lin Ji. Lin Ji did not turn around, but just asked.

"You Ran, during the past few months of my seclusion, how have the things I asked you to pay attention to progressed?"

"There are good and bad things. The translation of the alien texts on the spacecraft is progressing well. The person in charge has already made a guarantee that the results will be available next year."

As Luo Youran spoke, he slowly approached Lin Ji and casually used his wood spiritual power to create a bench. Then he brushed off the fallen snow on Lin Ji's body with his hands, pulled him to sit down, and leaned on his shoulder before continuing.

"The research on the interstellar teleportation array has encountered some problems. Ningxue and a group of array masters have decided to first learn other arrays brought from the Myriad Beast Realm to see if they can apply what they have learned to other areas and break through the current bottleneck."

"Twenty thousand armored soldiers and one thousand monks who are practicing Qi and building foundation are ready. They have already started to learn the language of the Blue Water Star. But Master, why did you suddenly arrange these things?"

Luo Youran turned his head and looked at Lin Ji's handsome profile, and couldn't help but ask in confusion. Although the spiritual armor has undergone a series of improvements, the mortal who controls it has the equivalent of the strength of an ordinary ninth-level Qi training cultivator, but the East Continent is very peaceful now and there is not much place for it. And why do we have to learn the Water Blue Star language now? The space crystal in the master's hand will take several years to recover, and it is impossible to use the interstellar teleportation array to go to Water Blue Star.

Lin Ji did not answer immediately, but opened his palm. Suddenly, a transparent crystal emitting dazzling light appeared out of thin air in his palm. The crystal was as big as a fist, crystal clear and sparkling.

"This is a perfect space crystal that I recently obtained from a trade with the True Lord. I plan to use it to take some people to the Blue Water Planet in a while to see if I can occupy it directly."

"Master, isn't it too risky for you to go there in person? No one knows the current situation on Water Blue Star."

After hearing Lin Ji's words, Luo Youran frowned and tried to dissuade him. From the books about the Blue Water Star, it can be learned that the changes in the strength of that kind of technological civilization are very difficult to predict. Either it remains unchanged for thousands of years and is in the era of cold weapons, or it invents weapons that can rival an ordinary Golden Core attack in just a few decades. Now it has been many years since the True Lord left the Blue Water Star. In her opinion, it is too risky for Lin Ji to go there without becoming a Golden Core True Person.

"I know what you're thinking, but don't worry. The technological route is different from our monks' great power belonging to individuals. The individual strength of the humans on Blue Water Star is very weak and will not pose a threat to me. Moreover, Uncle Ye will go with me this time."

As Lin Ji spoke, he put his right hand around Luo Youran's slender waist, changed the subject and continued asking.

"Any news about the water-attributed spiritual objects that contain the Mirror Flower and the Water Moon?"

Although she knew that Lin Ji was trying to change the subject, with the protection of Ye Xun, the Jindan Zhenren, and given his character, if they encountered danger, he would definitely stay behind to cover Lin Ji's escape. Lin Ji would be safe. Thinking of this, Luo Youran answered.

"Water spiritual objects that can assist in the cultivation of Mirror Flower and Water Moon are very rare, and they need to be at the Golden Core level, so they are indeed hard to find. However, there is news that there is a secret realm in the Western Continent that was just discovered two months ago. According to our cultivators hiding in the Western Continent, the water spiritual energy is very strong, and there are illusions everywhere. It is difficult to wake up even if you get trapped in the realm of mind. Maybe there is something you want in there, Master."

"Oh? Looks like I'm lucky."

Hearing this news, Lin Ji's mouth curled up.

"You Ran, please help me send two letters. One to Tian Yan Sect, saying that the Western Continent is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I want to go and take a look. You can polish it appropriately. One to the current Dean of the Sword Academy, Pu Jianxing, asking him to be on standby in Xuantian City in five months. If I am not back by then, let him obey Ning Xue's orders."

Luo Youran hummed and continued to lean on Lin Ji's shoulder with no intention of leaving. Seeing this, Lin Ji did not urge her and just quietly enjoyed the tranquility of the falling snow.

……

At night, the stars and the moon are high in the sky, and the silvery moonlight shines through the formation and spreads across the entire Tianshu City.

"We are going to the Western Continent right after we come out of seclusion? And then we are going to the Blue Water Planet?"

In the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Ningxue stopped picking up food, raised her head and looked at Lin Ji who was sitting in the main seat, her tone slightly dissatisfied. The two of them went into seclusion not long after their marriage, and they were going to the Western Continent and the Blue Water Star right after they came out of seclusion. Although she could understand it, as a wife, she was still a little unhappy.

"Yes, I also want to comprehend the fourth realm as quickly as possible, so I have to go this time. As for the Blue Water Star, Ningxue, you also need the knowledge there, don't you?"

Lin Ji responded with a smile. Xiao Ningxue stopped refutation upon hearing this. She just stood up and pulled him up and went to their room.

After entering the room, Xiao Ningxue closed the door tightly, then turned around, hugged Lin Ji's neck, stood on tiptoes and kissed him lightly on the lips.

The next morning, after arranging the follow-up matters and bidding farewell to Xiao Ningxue and Luo Youran, Lin Ji set off for the Western Continent.

……

There are five mountain ranges stretching for thousands of miles in the center of the Western Continent. These five mountain ranges are distributed in five directions, surrounding the five elements, and they guard a towering peak in the center.

At the top of the mountain, a majestic palace stands tall. Inside the palace, two figures are sitting cross-legged in meditation.

"The wood realm has been completed, and the breath of life has doubled. It seems that Hong Hai left something for you after his death."

Zhenjun Bai Hong, who looked like a young man and was standing in the center of the palace, smiled and said to Daoyan, who was sitting cross-legged below.

Seeing that Zhenjun didn't look sad at all, Daoyan couldn't help but ask, thinking about Zhenren Honghai who often sat in a daze alone, and the words he often taught him before his death.

"Master, Master Hong Hai's talent is not inferior to mine. Why did he fail in the last step of the Golden Core to create his own world, and even lost his life? This shouldn't be the case. Normally, even if he fails, it won't harm the Golden Core Master."

Hearing this, Bai Hong put away his smile, looked at Daoyan, who had been favored since childhood and grew up under his eyes, and answered after thinking for a moment.

"Do you still remember the pill you took when you were young to improve your talent?"
