Chapter 124 Spirit Realm
The early morning sun shone into the house through the cracks in the window, casting its light on the bed.
After working all night, Xiao Yuan did not feel tired, but refreshed.
He was busy with Xuanbing Longxiang last night, which caused Yafei to fall asleep only at dawn. Now she was in a deep sleep and couldn't get up at all.
Smelling the faint fragrance coming from the soft body in his arms, Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes, and the big hand covering the Mitre Mountains couldn't help but tighten a little.
If Xiao Yuan had not deliberately circulated the Xuanbing Jue in his body, this just now would have been enough to arouse his desire again and pull Ya Fei up to continue to torment her.
"Um"
Ya Fei's body trembled subconsciously. After she felt that Xiao Yuan had no follow-up action, she relaxed and leaned into Xiao Yuan's arms. After adjusting to a comfortable posture, she revealed a calm smile and fell into a deep sleep again with even breathing.
In response to this, Xiao Yuan also smiled gently. It was a rare occasion that he did not go to practice. He hugged Ya Fei's soft waist, held the Mitre Mountains, closed his eyes slightly, and fell asleep.
Some are happy and some are sad.
After knowing that the house opposite was returned to the Xiao family under the operation of the Mittle family, Nalan Jie, who had just recovered from a serious illness, did not sleep all night.
why?
He couldn't figure it out.
She had to cancel a good engagement. Now, not only did she lose her grandson-in-law, but he was also snatched away by another family.
Nalan Yanran seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and did not sleep well that night.
There was a feeling that something that once belonged to her was suddenly taken away by someone.
However, she had no reason or position to say anything. After all, as a person who had already broken off the engagement and had nothing to do with Xiao Yuan, all her thoughts were unimportant to Xiao Yuan. Besides, Xiao Yuan had already talked about this matter a few years ago.
Someone you like or something?
But why was it Sister Yafei from the Miter family?
Nalan Yanran naturally guessed that the person Xiao Yuan liked was Ya Fei. After all, Ya Fei went to Wutan City for training because of some things. After returning to the imperial capital, she immediately became the acting elder of the headquarters auction house. In the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, she was considered a number one figure worthy of attention.
With just a little imagination, one can guess some of the relationship between Xiao Yuan and Ya Fei.
However, Ya Fei's talent in cultivation is average, and she is only at the fighter stage now. She is also older than Xiao Yuan. Why would Xiao Yuan be with her?
Nalan Yanran was also a little curious about this.
But it was obvious that Xiao Yuan would not come to explain to her, and she was not qualified to ask Xiao Yuan for an explanation.
On the other hand, after spending a whole night and a morning in the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Yan finally collected the herbs, returned to the Xiao Mansion, and began to help Yao Lao to prepare the spiritual liquid to restore the soul's experience.
Therefore, Xiao Yuan was finally called up. He should also observe the process of refining the recovery spirit liquid.
On the bed, Yafei put on her clothes slowly and leisurely. Every move she made released a charming allure that touched Xiao Yuan's heart.
It seems that after recovering from this sleep, Ya Fei, who has already tasted the sweetness of sex, has become much more interested in Xiao Yuan.
Looking at the beautiful face with mature charm, Xiao Yuan smiled, then moved closer, pecked Ya Fei's beautiful red lips, then said something and turned away.
"Sister Yafei, please send someone to the Xiao family to inform my father and ask him to come to the imperial capital! The matter between you and me still needs to be discussed with the elders."
"Okay, don't worry."
Hearing this, Ya Fei smiled brightly and then nodded.
In a quiet room in the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were sitting on a cushion placed on the ground. In front of them was Yao Lao, whose figure seemed slightly illusory.
At this moment, Yao Lao took out the Black Magic Cauldron quite solemnly, injected the Bone Spirit Cold Fire into it, and began to extract the medicinal power of the herbs one by one.
To the brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, this process seemed like smooth sailing.
Every move Yao Lao made revealed the demeanor of a master. Whether it was the control of the temperature or the timing of mixing the medicine, it was all amazing.
Watching such a master of alchemy making pills, every second is a detail that cannot be missed.
Although Xiao Yuan has not officially started to refine the medicine, he still feels that he has benefited a lot. If he can have the fire control skills like Yao Lao, it will probably only take about an hour for Nalan Jie's poison to be completely burned into nothingness. How could he get poisoned by trying to remove the poison?
As time went by, many medicinal herbs gradually turned into pure medicinal liquid and condensed in the cauldron.
Yao Lao finally threw the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva into the alchemy cauldron and began to refine it.
Next, as long as this substance is refined into medicinal liquid, combined with the previous medicinal liquid, and some unnecessary impurities are removed, the medicinal liquid can be purified and finally used as medicinal liquid.
Inside the medicine cauldron, the dark white flames kept surging. The terrifying high temperature caused the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva, which was originally as green as jade, to shrink and wither rapidly. The magical thing was that although the branches and leaves were becoming more and more withered, the color of the seven-color flowers on the top was becoming more and more vivid.
When the branches and leaves completely withered and turned to ashes, the colorful light had reached a dazzling level, and an aromatic scent so rich that it seemed like fine wine that had been buried in the earth for a long time slowly spread out from the fire mouth of the medicine cauldron.
Just by smelling a little bit of the fragrance, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan both shuddered at the same time, and then their entire mental state reached an unprecedented level of perfection.
"Tsk tsk, it's really a good thing. The fragrance of the flowers alone has such miraculous effects comparable to those of third-grade elixirs. After such a combination and refining, I'm afraid the effect will be extremely amazing!"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh at the side.
Xiao Yuan had no way of expressing any opinion on this matter and could only nod in agreement.
Looking at the ever-changing colorful light on the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva Flower in the flames, which was competing with the Bone Spirit Cold Fire that was refining it, there was no surprise on Yao Lao's face. Without him making any movement, the temperature of the strange fire suddenly increased a lot.
This ability to control fire really made Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan envious.
After increasing the firepower, the colorful light on the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva Flower disappeared almost in an instant. Then, under the control of Yao Lao, the temperature of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire returned to the same state as before.
Xiao Yan knew that he couldn't come up with such a method in such a short period of time.
As the colorful light dissipated, the seven-colored flowers immediately became weak. With just a flicker of the flame, the petals and leaves withered rapidly. Drops of colorful dew dripped from the withered petals and leaves, sparkling with a strange luster.
As all the colorful flowers withered, the tiny drops of colorful dew slowly merged together, like a bright pearl emitting colorful rays of light, looking extremely gorgeous.
Upon seeing this, Yao Lao slowly wrapped it with his soul power and pushed it into the colorful medicinal liquid he had previously refined.
The next moment, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire in the medicine cauldron wrapped up the colorful medicinal liquid and began to remove the impurities in it to purify and concentrate the medicinal liquid.
About half an hour later, Yao Lao's expression suddenly became serious. He then took out the medicine wrapped in the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, opened his mouth and swallowed it directly.
The next moment, the colorful light directly illuminated Yao Lao's entire illusory body into a rainbow of colors. Then, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan were surprised to find that Yao Lao's soul power was recovering at an astonishing speed.
And Yao Lao's aura is gradually becoming stronger.
Fortunately, Yao Lao was well prepared and suppressed his aura precisely in the house, preventing it from leaking out. Otherwise, the strong men in the imperial capital would probably have been unable to sit still.
As Yao Lao's soul power recovered, his illusory body became visibly more solid. Faintly, two spiritual soul fluctuations emanated from it, and then poured into Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan's bodies.
The two of them only felt a flash before their eyes, and their consciousness appeared in a vast ocean.
"here it is?"
The two looked at each other, feeling confused.
Then, he was surprised to find that the other person's body was extremely illusory and seemed to be in a soul state.
After realizing this, the two looked around and finally found something unusual in the ocean below.
This vast ocean is actually made up entirely of soul power!
Such a terrifying size, I guess, could only be achieved by a strong man like Yao Lao, right?
The moment their thoughts came to an end, a familiar old figure gradually took shape in the ocean of souls in front of them.
"teacher!"
Seeing this, the two of them hurried over to meet him.
"Haha, I just tried it casually, but I didn't expect it to actually work."
Yao Lao nodded with a smile, looked at the two disciples, and said with some satisfaction.
"This is my soul sea of consciousness. I pulled you in because I suddenly remembered that I had obtained some means of increasing soul power in an ancient relic, but it was only a fragment, and I didn't study it further back then.
Just now, I tried it on a whim, and I didn't expect it to be successful. This time, I can use the power of the medicine to give you two a push."
Yao Lao stroked his beard and continued.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan nodded suddenly, and their respect for Yao Lao increased a little more.
"Teacher, this medicine is very precious. Let's focus on restoring your soul power first!"
Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"My brother is right, teacher!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan quickly nodded in agreement.
"Haha, you two little guys, when it comes to soul power, can you know more than me? With my soul realm, even if I get a few more Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva, it won't be enough. Now that I have recovered to a higher stage, the remaining medicinal power won't be that helpful to me.
It would be better to give it to the two little guys. If it goes as expected, your soul power will have a small breakthrough, which will be of great benefit to you in the future. As for me, I will look for another opportunity in the future. With you two little guys helping me find medicinal materials, why should I be afraid that my soul power cannot be restored?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Lao waved his hand, then pointed without further ado. From the ocean of souls below, two colorful beams of light shot up into the sky, enveloping Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan.
In this way, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan could no longer be pretentious and immediately absorbed the gift from their teacher.
Looking at the two people with similar faces in front of him, Yao Lao smiled with satisfaction. He had a hunch that his most satisfying achievement in this life would not be refining any high-level elixirs, but training these two outstanding disciples.
Then he stopped smiling and took a look at himself.
According to estimates, his soul power has now barely recovered to the level of the spiritual realm.
Generally speaking, this level of soul power represents the strength of an eighth-grade alchemist.
but.
After all, Yao Lao has no body, so refining some seventh-grade elixirs is quite exhausting and laborious.
As for combat capability, it is only at the Dou Zong level, but this is undoubtedly a great thing for Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan.
Moreover, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan's soul realm have also benefited from this and have made a small breakthrough. If there is a situation in the future when Yao Lao Tianjie appears to take their place, they will be able to exert more strength.
With Yao Lao's current strength, he is enough to sweep across the entire Gama Empire.
More importantly, after being able to refine seventh-grade elixirs, even Dou Zong powerhouses would not dare to provoke the Xiao Yuan brothers easily.
"Sure enough, although the growth of soul power is not big, it has been stained with the flavor of spiritual energy. If there is a chance in the future, it will definitely be able to advance to the spiritual realm. Unfortunately, this fragment does not mention the method of advancing to the heavenly realm. By then, these two little guys may need to work hard on their own."
Smacking his lips with some regret, Yao Lao looked at the colorful light on his two disciples that was gradually fading, and nodded continuously.
The soul power of these two disciples is indeed unusually strong and tenacious in recent years. They are simply born to be good candidates for learning alchemy.
After watching the light on the two men completely dissipate, Yao Lao simply waved his sleeves and sent the souls of the two men back. Immediately, his mind moved, and his consciousness returned to his soul body from the sea of soul. His slightly closed eyes soon opened, and the powerful soul power turned into ripples that vibrated, avoiding the bodies of the two disciples, and slammed into a shadow on the roof not far away without mercy.
Then, a figure was suddenly ejected from the shadows, and a mouthful of blood spurted out:
"Fuck, you knew I meant no harm, yet you still hit me so hard!"
The black shadow wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, muttered a curse, then turned around and disappeared into a shadow.
"You have been spying on me for so long, do you really think I have no temper?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Lao sneered and muttered to himself.
As the sound fell, the soul shock that had been released earlier was also taken back.
"what?"
Then, a look of surprise appeared on Yao Lao's face.
I saw Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, one in front and one behind, with the fighting spirit in their bodies surging. It was obvious that they were going to advance!
