Chapter 467: Soul Separation

Chapter 467: Soul Separation

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed. In the secret room, Ye Chunyang sat with his eyes closed. The Liuwu Hanyuan Ding in front of him released a faint flame. Through the mouth of the cauldron, a pill could be seen slowly taking shape.

After closing his eyes for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the pill gradually taking shape in the flames, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because of the special medicinal properties, the time required to refine the pill with Wulingcao this time was much longer than he expected. During the period, he merged nearly a hundred kinds of medicinal materials, which consumed a lot of spiritual consciousness and mana, and was more energy-consuming than other pills he had refined in the past.

However, although it took some time, it was finally accomplished.

Moreover, recently, Ye Chunyang also re-refined several magic weapons that were polluted by the Yinsha Demon Spirit. The spirituality has been fully restored, and the Qingtian Xuanhuo Sword is also more closely connected with the body.

Therefore, these months of seclusion are also a good adjustment for him. Now everything is at its peak.

After probing the cauldron with his spiritual sense, Ye Chunyang had an idea in his mind. Given the current situation, it would take at least ten days to produce the cauldron.

After a moment of hesitation, he slapped the spirit beast bag with his palm, and two rays of light flashed out, turning into two spirit beasts that appeared in the secret room.

They were Ling Kun and Xiao Qing.

A few months ago, in order to seize the Heavenly Fire Wood, these two spirit beasts were severely injured by Fairy Yumei. Although Ye Chunyang treated them with spiritual pills afterwards, their demonic power could not be restored for at least a period of time.

After stroking the foreheads of the two spirit beasts with both hands, Ye Chunyang sighed in his heart, took out the Nurturing Spirit Pill and fed them to them, then urged the true essence to help them heal their wounds, and only put them back into the spirit beast bag after the medicinal power was fully refined.

After that, Ye Chunyang continued to close his eyes and rest, waiting for the elixir to come out of the furnace.

His wait was not long, and the progress was even faster than he expected, because ten days later, the Liuwu Hanyuan Ding suddenly trembled, and bright beams of light shot out from the Ding, sometimes gathering into auspicious clouds, sometimes rolling up strong winds, showing all kinds of strange phenomena.

Soon, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire secret room, and a thumb-sized round elixir slowly rose from the firelight.

Ye Chunyang opened his closed eyes again, looking at the elixir that took shape and rose in the firelight, with a satisfied look on his face.

Then he made a move, and the elixir spun faintly and fell into his hand steadily.

Putting the elixir on the tip of his nose and smelling it, Ye Chunyang suddenly felt that his true essence was boiling, and his magic power was running several times smoother, and the fatigue brought by months of retreat was swept away.

Ye Chunyang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that after the black spirit grass became a pill, the medicinal properties were several points stronger than he had imagined. Judging from the strange phenomenon at this moment, the rumor that this grass can improve cultivation should be true.

He no longer hesitated, and swallowed the pill into his stomach, then he pinched his hands and silently practiced the technique, all his energy and spirit gathered in the true essence, and began to refine the medicinal power.

Not long after entering into meditation, Ye Chunyang suddenly felt that the true essence in his body was ready to move, and bursts of clear sounds came from his sea of ​​consciousness. The essence of heaven and earth gathered towards Dantian like a tidal wave. Suddenly, the green light on his body was floating up and down, and there was a faint sign of breaking through the middle level of magic power!

Ye Chunyang was delighted. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time. He was going to break through the barrier in one go.

But just when the technique was running to perfection, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face.

Because after practicing the technique, the true essence did not increase, but the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was rapidly fading, and it had calmed down in the blink of an eye. The surging like a tidal wave disappeared in an instant!

Ye Chunyang was stunned, and confusion flashed in his mind.

After checking his inner consciousness, he found that although his true essence had increased slightly, it was still a long way from the middle stage of mana. The Origin Heavenly Scripture, the Body Refining Technique, the Spirit Refining Technique, and other techniques were also unsatisfied.

"Sure enough, I practiced three techniques at the same time, and the demand for heaven and earth energy was too strong. Even though the black spirit grass was powerful, it was not enough to replenish it. If I want to advance, I need to accumulate more."

After checking, Ye Chunyang already understood where the problem was, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

His three techniques were rare in the world. After the three were combined, the heaven and earth energy required was at least three times that of the cultivators of the same level. The pill made from half of the black spirit grass alone was not enough for him to advance.

"It seems that I can only think of a way in the future."

Ye Chunyang shook his head, practiced the techniques and regulated his breath. Although he failed to advance after taking the pill, his mana increased a lot, which was a small benefit to him.

Moreover, he found that although he failed to advance this time, it seemed that the black spirit grass had a great effect on his body. Originally, the nameless body refining technique could not make any progress after the first level, but now he felt that he had touched the barrier of the second level.

However, Ye Chunyang also knew that this was not only related to the black spirit grass. The bigger reason was that he had experienced several fierce battles after entering the spiritual world, and both his body and magic power had been precipitated and accumulated. Only after being stimulated by the power of the medicine did he make progress.

Sure enough, experience is the best way to advance. Even if you practice hard in seclusion for ten years, you will not gain more than one year of experience.

So although he failed to advance this time, Ye Chunyang was not upset, but clarified his direction.

After several breaths, the turbid air in his body was completely eliminated, and Ye Chunyang was about to enter into meditation again.

However, just when he was about to pinch the formula to practice, a strange phenomenon suddenly came, causing his eyes that had just been closed to suddenly open, looking at the door of the room, showing surprise, and after a moment, he opened the stone door and flew out.

As soon as he came out of seclusion, Ye Chunyang was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The wind in the cave was blowing coldly, and all he could see was a thick black air. Because he had practiced the magical power of the ghost way, Ye Chunyang could clearly feel that the black air was emitting the breath of ghosts, as if some wandering souls were hovering here, looking for a host.

But what made him feel strange was that the breath of the ghosts was extremely familiar, and it came from a secret room.

So much so that when he was about to cast a spell to dispel it, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Looking in the direction of the black air, Ye Chunyang frowned.

After contemplating for a moment, he held a spell and blasted through the stone door.

The scene in the secret room was very different from the outside. If what Ye Chunyang saw before was a scene filled with yin energy, now it was like the underworld hell, with countless yin energy surging inside.

On the stone platform in the middle, "Yu Wanqing" was weak and seemed to be dissipated at any time.

There was also a scattered ghost floating around her, sometimes turning into a ferocious demon, sometimes turning into a delicate and beautiful woman, which looked extremely weird.

Seeing Ye Chunyang coming in, "Yu Wanqing" seemed to be greatly stimulated, with a look of shock on her face, and suddenly opened her eyes and woke up: "Brother Ye, you..."

This scene surprised Ye Chunyang.

Looking at the appearance of the ghost, it was Yu Wanqing's soul, but after losing her soul, her body could be awake, which was unprecedented.

"What happened? How could you be like this?"

Ye Chunyang narrowed his eyes. After leaving the soul, there was only one explanation for the body to maintain consciousness, that is, it was not her own consciousness in her body, but another person.

However, the next words of "Yu Wanqing" surprised Ye Chunyang even more.

She raised her head slightly, revealing a pale and bloodless face, with a bit of bitterness and self-mockery, and said: "Sure enough, you found it."

Ye Chun raised his eyebrows, but his face showed a calm look, staring at the other party indifferently.

"Yu Wanqing" smiled bitterly and said, "At this point, there is no need to hide it anymore. I think Brother Ye has also seen that I am not the real Yu Wanqing, but Brother Ye, please don't misunderstand me. I have no ill will towards Wanqing."

"What do you mean?"

Ye Chunyang frowned slightly, but did not show any surprise.

Yu Wanqing's soul was floating around, and the one in her body was naturally not her own. But seeing that she was so calm and did not seem to be possessed by someone, Ye Chunyang did not act rashly and planned to find out what happened first.

But at this time, the breath of "Yu Wanqing" both in body and soul was gradually weakening, and she looked like she would die at any time. She opened her mouth to say something, but could not make a sound.

Seeing this, Ye Chunyang held a magic formula and used a spiritual light to point into the woman's eyebrows. Under his surging magic power, the latter recovered a little and gradually came back to her senses.

"What's going on? Who are you?" Ye Chunyang frowned and asked coldly.

Normally, Ye Chunyang didn't want to interfere in other people's affairs, but this person occupied Yu Wanqing's body after all, and he felt that the other party seemed to have no ill will towards Yu Wanqing, so Ye Chunyang didn't stand by and let her die.

"My name is Peony. Many years ago, my body collapsed due to a serious injury. It was Wanqing who spared no expense to use a secret treasure to preserve my soul and put it into her body. However, because of the practice of the Great Combination Divine Prohibition, we need to exchange souls frequently. A few months ago, there was a problem with the practice, and Wanqing's consciousness fell into a deep sleep. I had no choice but to control her body on her behalf."

After a pause, the Peony Fairy continued: "I thought that the pill made from the black spirit grass would help her advance to the mana stage and her consciousness would be awakened. But I didn't expect the disadvantages of the Great Combination Divine Prohibition to be so severe. It broke out just now when I broke through, and Wanqing's soul was forced out of her body."

The Peony Fairy said weakly.

She looked at Yu Wanqing's soul wandering in the stone chamber, and suddenly grabbed Ye Chunyang's arm, saying with hope: "Brother Ye, you must find a way to save her. Her consciousness is gradually dissipating. Only you can make her soul return to her body."

Ye Chunyang looked at this woman and did not speak.

He was secretly shocked. He did not expect that Yu Wanqing had two souls in her body. No wonder he always felt that she was a little strange and sometimes seemed like a different person.

From the other party's expression at this time, the words of this self-proclaimed "Peony Fairy" did not seem to be false, but before he knew the other party's details, he would not believe it rashly.

Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant, Fairy Peony became anxious and bowed deeply to him and pleaded: "Brother Ye, every word I said is true. Wanqing has endured too much for me. If she is in trouble, I will be restless for the rest of my life. Even if you don't believe me, for the sake of knowing Wanqing, can you bear to see her soul fly away like this?"

Ye Chunyang frowned.

Looking at Yu Wanqing's disappearing soul, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "Just now you said that only I can save her, what do you mean by that?"

Fairy Peony was delighted to hear this and said: "The Soul Attachment Sutra... No, to be precise, the Blood Transformation Sutra!"
