The Ice Lotus slowly rotated above the palm.
Qin Jin stepped out of the container, flicked his palm, and the Ice Lotus was thrown out, bursting in mid-air with a loud explosion, the life energy within erupting.
"Compared to a real Treasure Skill, its power should be quite a bit weaker, and the effect is also different."
"After all, this is just a replica from my initial observation."
"Using life energy to activate it is somewhat unsuitable."
With a slight movement of his thoughts, another Ice Lotus appeared, and he scrutinized the Ice Lotus in his palm: "However, this is just the beginning."
"With further research, there will surely be deeper discoveries."
"Previously, the people of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe did not cultivate their spirituality, and even if they awakened a Treasure Skill, they couldn't understand its mysteries."
"Now, with the visualization technique I've taught them, once they hone their minds and control spiritual power, they can be my helpers, exploring its secrets while refining the Treasure Skill."
"At that time, there will be a chance to discover an active method for refining Treasure Skills."
"The truth can be explained in a single sentence, while falsehoods require volumes, and that's how it is."
He put on his clothes, and with a thought, the profession panel appeared.
[Name]: Qin Jin
[Age]: 16
[Profession]: [Martial Arts Family][Mecha Refitter][Sacrificial Spirit]
[Martial Arts Family: Newborn Realm]
[Life Index: 37.4]
[Spiritual Index: 28.3]

[Visualization Technique: Withered Bone Thunder Elephant Lv1 (58%)]
[Visualization Technique: Three-headed Exotic Python Lv0 (66%)]
[Thunder Prohibition True Understanding: Lv1]
[One-Sided Annihilation: Lv1 (46%)]
He scanned each piece of data.
Describing the growth during this period as rapid progress is not an exaggeration.
Qin Jin remained calm, unperturbed.
This panel data would surely make him a top existence among peers in the five survival zones of the Mining Star.
However...
As Yan Gaoyuan once said, the Mining Star is too small, like a drop in the ocean; in the vast Star Sea, who knows how many extraordinary individuals and celestial prides exist.
His goal had long been set on the starry sea.
What he can do now is to avoid arrogance, proceed steadily.
The warehouse lights turned off, the doors locked, and Qin Jin's footsteps gradually faded away.
...
The next day.
Six in the morning.
Qin Jin opened his eyes on time.
After carefully washing up and grooming, the unkempt image cultivated in the Great Wilderness was gone, replaced by a vigorous young Martial Arts Family.
As Qin Jin prepared breakfast and was about to eat, Yan Yue's voice sounded in the yard.
"Qin Jin, Qin Jin!"
The door was not locked, she pushed it open and entered: "My dad asked me to give you..."
Before she finished speaking, her voice stopped.
Qin Jin looked at her.
This girl put the items in her hands on the table, widened her eyes, and examined Qin Jin from head to toe meticulously.
"What's up with you?"
Qin Jin waved a hand in front of her eyes: "Having illusions early in the morning?"
"Qin Jin, you seem to be glowing."
"Speak human language."
"I mean, you seem to look better."
Yan Yue organized her words: "It doesn't look like you've changed, could it be your aura has?"
Her voice softened a bit: "How did you do it? Teach me."
"From practicing martial arts."
Qin Jin shook his head: "You can't learn it; your martial arts talent is too average."
He wasn't lying.
The change Yan Yue saw in him was due to his rigorous practice in the Great Wilderness and the enhancement of his spiritual will.
When a person's energy, spirit, and essence improve, it naturally brings a change in aura.
"I was presumptuous; I really don't understand the matters of geniuses."
Yan Yue rolled her eyes and handed the items on the table over: "My dad asked me to bring these for you."
"You're meeting that Spiritualist today; good luck, this can really save you years of detours."
In her concerned voice.
Qin Jin looked at the stuff she handed over.
It was a set of clothes.
The Void Light SR-3 Martial Arts Uniform.
[Void Light] is one of the renowned clothing enterprises within the star system. The martial arts uniforms produced under the Void Light brand are not the training clothes of ancient times, but specially crafted from materials with certain defensive abilities, allowing a Martial Arts Family to exert their full potential without restriction.
Due to their function, they are favored by many in the Martial Arts Family.
"Put it on."
Yan Yue spoke: "I found out from my dad that you have to go out of the protective light dome of Xinyang District."
"Be safe."
Qin Jin turned around, changed into the uniform in the bedroom, and came out.
This martial arts uniform was mainly black, simple and fitted, making Qin Jin look somewhat sharp when worn.
Qin Jin glanced at himself in the mirror, then looked at Yan Yue, suddenly speaking: "Yan Yue, have you decided which college to apply to, what major to study?"
"No idea about the college yet."
"As for the major, maybe something in management and coordination."
"Oh?"
Qin Jin raised his eyebrow slightly: "Why?"
"Of course, to latch onto your success!"
Yan Yue looked at him: "Did you forget your promise? I'm waiting to take off with you."
"Behind every top Martial Arts Family, there's a need for a well-rounded support team, and when that time comes, I'll be responsible for your logistics."
Saying this, she paused slightly, being thoughtful.
"Qin Jin, you won't let me graduate just to be unemployed, right?"
"Can't say for sure."
"Close the door on your way; I'm heading out."
Leaving the last sentence, amidst the girl's playful scolding, Qin Jin strode out of the courtyard.
The artificial sun had just risen.
The vitality of the youth shone brighter than this false sun.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Jin disappeared from sight.
In the yard.
Yan Yue closed the door, looking in the direction Qin Jin left, brought her hands together in a praying pose, silently chanting in her heart.
"Take care."
...
As one of the five survival zones of the Mining Star, although Xinyang District is named a district, in actual area, it's comparable to a city on a Life Planet.
The communication watch projected a map in front, following the route, Qin Jin did not take any transportation, running all the way to gradually warm up.
As he continued forward.
He reached the eastern exit of Xinyang District.
From a distance, the protective light dome descending from the sky left about a several-thousand-meter-long area here, with large mining vehicles equipped with defensive measures crisscrossing in and out, raising dust, while members of the uniformed guard team who had undergone mechanical modifications were stationed here.
This was Qin Jin's first time here.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never left Xinyang District.
After observing for a moment, Qin Jin walked towards the exit.
As he approached, a guard team member looked over, and upon seeing the martial arts uniform he wore, withdrew their gaze.
Seeing this, Qin Jin gained some insight.
Xinyang District does not prohibit entries and exits. Extraordinary creatures exist in the wilderness of Mining Star, and in the past, many in the Martial Arts Family may have come here to seek visualization of extraordinary creatures.
Hence, the guard team members here are accustomed to seeing lone travelers from the Martial Arts Family.
He reached the exit, stepped out, completely leaving the area covered by the light dome, entering the wilderness of Mining Star.
The sky darkened instantly.
From the sky, the sound of roaring thunder was continuous, occasionally with lightning cutting across the sky, illuminating the world.
His communication watch was affected by the environment, causing the light screen to fluctuate.
Qin Jin glanced at the map, committed it to memory.
Then…
He identified his direction, left the main road, and headed into the unknown wilderness.
