Chapter 132: Soul Refining Art!

"This woman really knows how to act..." Seeing this, the corner of Yang Tian's mouth couldn't help twitching. Meng Yunxi was an alchemist, and she had clearly set her sights on this piece of land.

After a moment of silence, Yang Tian's mind surveyed the Void Ring. There were many spiritual herbs inside, but all were rare species, and Yang Tian was reluctant to sell them.

"Uncle Xiao, is your secret cave still there?" His mind appearing in the Ancestral Dragon Ring, Yang Tian couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, I set up several layers of killing arrays back then, and it's very hidden. My soul imprint is still there and hasn't dissipated, so the cave is definitely fine." Hearing this, Yang Xiao said with a faint smile.

"That's good, that's good." Yang Tian's mind withdrew. Back then, Yang Xiao had left a secret cave in the Eastern Continent, containing some of his belongings. Opening this cave required special methods, so Yang Tian needed to purchase refining materials.

The cave left by an ancient powerhouse was something Yang Tian was determined to obtain. Moreover, it contained some of Yang Xiao's possessions, so he had to acquire these refining materials.

"Brother Yang Tian, have you decided? Sell the herb field to your sister." Raising her willow-like brows, Meng Yunxi pursed her sexy red lips, her captivating eyes fixed on Yang Tian as she smiled sweetly.

"Uh..." Seeing this, Yang Tian was stunned. Looking at the woman exuding charm before him, he couldn't help curling his lips.

"How much can this thing sell for?" Sighing, Yang Tian had no choice but to take out a Spirit Concentration Lotus Seed and hand it to Meng Yunxi.

Caressing the Spirit Concentration Lotus Seed in her hand, a hint of surprise flashed in Meng Yunxi's eyes. She couldn't help asking, "This is a Spirit Concentration Lotus Seed, and it's of considerable age. Where did you get it?"

"Don't ask about that. How much is it worth?" Tapping the table with his fingers, Yang Tian smiled. But in his heart, he was very reluctant, as the Spirit Concentration Lotus Seed was still of great use to him.

"Little guy, you sure have a lot of treasures on you." Pursing her shapely lips, Meng Yunxi thought for a moment and said with a smile, "This seed is worth about five hundred thousand mid-grade blood stones. If put up for auction, it could fetch even more, maybe double with luck."

"Double!" Hearing this, Yang Tian was startled. Five hundred thousand blood stones was already beyond his expectations, and he thought to himself that the auction house was too ruthless. Selling it to her for five hundred thousand blood stones would be a huge loss.

"How long until the auction?" After thinking for a moment, Yang Tian asked. He couldn't afford to delay too long in Demon-Suppressing City, fearing some变故 might occur.

"There's still about half a month left, and by then a lot of people will definitely come." Meng Yunxi smiled mysteriously, clearly this auction would have many good items.

"Alright then, you need to gather these refining materials for me as soon as possible. Once the auction is over, I'll be leaving." Yang Tian nodded and smiled slightly; half a month was a wait he could afford.

"Mm." Meng Yunxi nodded, then chuckled: "There seems to be some clue about your elder brother, but the intelligence isn't very accurate. It seems he has organized an assassin corps, specifically targeting people from the Blood Candle Demon Palace."

"Assassin corps." Hearing this, Yang Tian frowned. If the intelligence was true, then Yang Ba's life was in danger, constantly walking on the edge of a blade.

At the same time, a string that had always been taut in his heart also relaxed. Having news of Yang Ba was good; he no longer had to search aimlessly.

"I'll tell you this much for now. Your sister still has things to do, so I'll be off." Meng Yunxi stood up, swaying her seductive hourglass figure, and turned to leave.

After a moment of silence, forcing down the emotions from just now, Yang Tian appeared in the Ancestral Dragon Ring.

Ahead, the five-colored medicinal field was covered in a hazy mist, planted with over a hundred spirit herbs, all rare species growing at an extremely fast rate.

After this medicinal field was transplanted into the Ancestral Dragon Ring, the surrounding soil had undergone a mutation. The essence contained in the five-colored field was too abundant; it was an extraordinary treasure land.

Strands of hazy mist fell onto the roots and stems of the spirit herbs, causing the entire plants to grow rapidly, their vitality astonishing.

Among them, a golden exotic grass had wisps of mist coiling around its dragon-like body, shimmering brilliantly, emitting the most terrifying medicinal power. This spirit herb grew in the center of the field.

Above this spirit herb, a drop of life-giving water fell every so often. The entire herb grew a hundred times faster than outside, and its medicinal power was astonishing.

This was a Dragon Beard Grass. This method was devised by Yang Xiao, and even Yang Tian felt a pang of heartache. This Dragon Beard Grass was cultivated for Xiao Bai, to stimulate his physical energy.

"Once we find the secret cave, there are a few pieces of Ancient Trees inside. If we transplant them here, the Ancestral Dragon Ring's space will start to take shape." Yang Xiao said with a slight smile.

"Hehe..." Yang Tian also chuckled. The function of the Ancient Tree was to emit ancient aura. This kind of treasure tree was now extinct, but Yang Xiao's secret cave had several of them.

"You need to seize the time to improve your cultivation now; the current time ratio is too small." Yang Xiao stood up, walked over to Yang Tian, and said with a smile, "I'll now teach you a method for cultivating the soul."

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao." Upon hearing this, Yang Tian quickly sat cross-legged, having already asked about it along the way. Yang Xiao knew several soul methods.

Yang Xiao nodded, then flicked his finger. A black light shot toward Yang Tian's brow, and a vast amount of memories surged forth, drilling into Yang Tian's sea of consciousness.

Rows of pitch-black characters imprinted themselves in Yang Tian's mind, emitting eerie black light, each character profound and mysterious.

The Soul Refining Art, a soul cultivation method, can nurture the two celestial souls and condense the earthly soul's form! When cultivated to great success, it can achieve the supreme primordial spirit...

"This is a method that leads directly to the primordial spirit!" After comprehending the initial part of the technique, Yang Tian exclaimed. Most soul methods were incomplete, but this one could directly cultivate to the primordial spirit realm!

After studying the technique for a while, Yang Tian opened his eyes, filled with confusion, and asked, "Uncle Xiao, where should I absorb soul energy?"

The technique described required absorbing soul energy to strengthen the soul body. Yang Tian had only seen vague references to soul energy in ancient texts and didn't understand it well.

"Soul energy is the soul energy contained within souls. You don't know that?" Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao patted Yang Tian's shoulder and said teasingly.

"Soul energy contained within souls?" Frowning slightly, Yang Tian looked puzzled. After thinking for a moment, his eyes widened.

"That means killing people to seize their souls!" Yang Tian couldn't help but smack his lips. This technique required seizing soul bodies and plundering the soul energy they contained.

Seeing Yang Tian's stunned expression, Yang Xiao nodded and said calmly, "That's right, but don't kill indiscriminately. Also, don't absorb too much soul energy, or your realm will become unstable."

"That won't be a problem. I have many enemies, too many to kill." Yang Tian scratched his head and quickly smiled. He didn't have the heart to kill ordinary people.

"Hehe, the soul crystals still contain a lot of soul energy that hasn't been absorbed. If you absorb all that soul energy, your soul might improve by one or two minor realms." Yang Xiao said with a slight smile.

"Mm." Yang Tian nodded, sinking his mind into his sea of consciousness. His soul avatar was now immersed in the medicinal power of the Rhythm Nourishing Lotus Seed, its origin power strengthening.

At that moment, the soul avatar sat cross-legged on the soul crystal, its two blurry hands forming seals. The surrounding soul energy was instantly drawn in, strands of soul energy flowing into the soul body along with the medicinal power.

With each strand refined, the energy within the soul body grew stronger. This rate of growth was astonishing.

"What stage does the Soul Refining Art belong to? This cultivation speed is too fast!" After observing his soul for a while, Yang Tian couldn't help but smack his lips. With this technique, soul cultivation would be very fast.

After a while, Yang Tian took out a fist-sized blood stone, a top-grade blood stone obtained from the Fallen Demon Land. He rubbed his hands and placed the blood stone on his knees.

At that moment, Yang Tian's mouth and nose opened, and a suction force suddenly emerged. Like a whale drinking water, a vast amount of blood energy surged from the top-grade blood stone into Yang Tian's mouth and nose.

Every drop was crystal clear, without any impurities. This blood energy fell into Yang Tian's blood river, causing the entire blood river to tremble.

Rumble! Thunder drums rolled, wind howled, lightning danced over the sea of blood. As the thick strands of blood energy poured into the blood river, the energy within churned violently.

This was a qualitative improvement. Every drop of blood was sublimating, containing infinite energy. His entire flesh and blood radiated mist, and every acupoint shone with red light.

The blood river compressed, each drop of blood improving at a terrifying speed. If a drop of blood before was like a spark, it now developed into a flame.

He frantically devoured the energy contained in the top-grade blood stone. His overall strength advanced by leaps and bounds. Top-grade blood stones were extremely rare, treasures of the cultivation world, formed over hundreds of thousands of years from the blood-soaked grounds of peerless experts.

"The War Heaven Art is truly worthy of being a technique created by the old patriarch. This absorption speed is unmatched by few techniques." On the other side, Yang Xiao's gaze had been fixed on Yang Tian. Noticing the absorption speed, he couldn't help but praise.

"Ao wu..." Xiao Bai also expressed agreement, staggering around as if drunk. A trace of demonic aura emanated from its body.

Yang Xiao had used a special method to split the energy of the demon core and fed it to Xiao Bai. The Devouring Heaven Beast, known for devouring everything, was not troubled by this amount of energy.

"Even a divine son can't keep up with this kind of cultivation resource." After absorbing for a while, Yang Tian couldn't help but smack his lips. This improvement speed was terrifying, describable as lightning-fast.

With vast blood energy, Yang Tian's speed of absorbing the medicinal power of the Star Essence Pill also increased dramatically. Starlight radiated throughout his body, and both his flesh and qi sea were improving.

Yang Tian completely immersed himself in cultivation, opening the furnace daily to refine one pill. With Yang Xiao guiding him on the side, Yang Tian's cultivation system became more complete...
