"Boss, didn't you say you wouldn't mess with women? How come you found another woman, and a ghost at that!" The little dumpling was very unhappy to see the tomb woman absorbing the energy of the Soul Refining Pot.

"What do kids know? You have to cultivate them from a young age. Besides, the energy I get from killing the undead will be wasted. Giving it to the Tomb Maiden will give me her power, so why not?" Jiang Yuan shrugged.

The power system of the undead is completely different from that of the Spirit Awakener. It is not the spiritual power of heaven and earth, so it cannot be absorbed and refined. Therefore, giving it to the Tomb Maiden is the best choice.

"Sister Zhaodi doesn't like you messing around with men and women!" the little dumpling muttered softly.

"Get lost! Do you think I, Ning Caichen, would even spare a ghost?" Jiang Yuan said irritably.

"It's not impossible!"

"Instead of wasting your time chatting, you'd be better off helping me deal with the next wave of undead!"

Jiang Yuan tossed the little dumpling forward, while the seventh wave of undead they were facing inside the underground palace had already arrived.

"How strong is the Tomb Maiden?" After sending Little Dumpling out, Jiang Yuan focused his attention on the Tomb Maiden. He had already obtained information about her through reconnaissance, but he wanted to know if she was holding back. If she was not loyal to him, he would not hesitate to kill her to avoid raising a tiger that would become a threat.

"Reporting to the General, the Tomb Maiden has already reached level six!"

The tomb maiden answered truthfully, and after stating her cultivation level, she added, "However, I need some time to refine the necromantic energy within my body!"

Jiang Yuan nodded. The Tomb Maiden did not hide her cultivation level, and because of the increase in her strength, her talent was no longer limited to just the Netherworld Barrier.

Tomb Maiden, Rank 6 Lord, Soul Energy: 70, Talents: Netherworld Barrier, Soul Binding.

Racial Talent - Netherworld Barrier: Absorbs the soul power of other dead souls to create a barrier similar to the underworld.

Intermediate Talent - Soul Binding: Suppresses all targets with lower soul energy values ​​than oneself. The degree of suppression depends on the difference in soul energy and the quality of the soul energy.

"Do you have any fragments of the Soul-Suppressing Stele?" Jiang Yuan asked slowly, glancing at them.

The tomb woman closed her eyes and began searching. About half a minute later, she opened her eyes and said, "There is a large fragment of a Soul-Suppressing Stele within a 300-meter radius!"

"Go and get it for me!" Jiang Yuan said calmly. In fact, the Tomb Maiden had already found three fragments of the Soul-Suppressing Stele for him, but this was the first time he had encountered such a large fragment of the Soul-Suppressing Stele.

"As you command, General!"

The tomb maiden bowed her head and clasped her hands in greeting, then floated away.

"Major Jiang, aren't you afraid that she'll escape after you improve her strength?" Long Lei asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

"Why did she run away?" Jiang Yuan asked as he opened the Soul Refining Pot, where the small fragments of the Soul Suppressing Stele had already been refined.

Seeing that ball of pure energy, Jiang Yuan was eager to try it out, but to be on the safe side, he first gave it an appraisal.

Ten-Year Soul Seed: After refining, it can increase soul power by ten years and soul energy by ten points.

It was a very simple introduction, but it piqued Jiang Yuan's interest. The ten-year soul power limit was very vague, but according to the Heavenly Eye, the true value of the Soul Suppressing Stele was this soul power, not soul energy.

"Major Jiang, this tomb woman's appearance is so inexplicable. I'm afraid she might have some ill intentions!" Long Lei pressed for answers regarding the tomb woman.

"Don't worry, I have a way to control her!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile, then chose to refine the ten-year-old soul seed.

The Soul Refining Pot contains a unique mark. If the Tomb Maiden becomes stronger by refining energy from the Soul Refining Pot, she will be controlled by the Soul Refining Pot. As long as I still possess the Soul Refining Pot, I will have absolute control over the Tomb Maiden!

With the ten-year soul seed entering his body, Jiang Yuan's divine energy was originally supposed to increase by two points under the impetus of the ten-year soul seed, but Jiang Yuan directly chose to release the energy of the ten-year soul seed and only absorb the ten-year soul power within it.

The immense soul power quickly took effect. Jiang Yuan felt his soul, which was deep within his body, being nourished by a warm power, and gradually, his soul began to grow stronger.

His soul didn't increase much after the awakening of his spirit. Soul strength is not easy to cultivate; the simplest way to enhance one's soul is to live longer, because the strength of one's soul is tied to the number of years one lives—it's essentially unchanging. Of course, there are other ways to enhance soul strength, but they are almost impossible to achieve unless one encounters extraordinary circumstances.

"call!"

The ten-year soul seed refinement only took five minutes. The ten-year increase in soul power gave Jiang Yuan an extraordinary experience. First of all, his mental power was concentrated, and he could focus more on his cultivation as a Spirit Awakener. He even felt that his ancient martial arts power had benefited from the enhancement of his soul.

"Major Jiang, it seems like someone is following the undead procession!" Long Lei sensed something was wrong through the darkness, because there were many other voices coming from the process of clearing out the undead.

"Interesting, they actually managed to steal it from me!" When Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, a faint light flashed in them. The increase in soul power over the past ten years had given him an even more powerful core.

"They stole ours?" Long Lei asked, slightly surprised.

Let's go!

Jiang Yuan threw all the fragments of the Soul-Suppressing Stele he had obtained into the Soul-Refining Pot before slowly walking forward.

"Boss, look! There's a woman in ancient costume floating around here!"

"Damn, this underground palace is full of people and ghosts. This woman must be a ghost!"

"What's there to be afraid of? As long as you're bold enough, even Sadako can take maternity leave!"

A group of mercenaries blocked the tomb passage, positioned right in the path the tomb maiden was taking.

"Woo woo!" The little dumpling growled, threatening the group.

"There's even a panda!" The mercenary team members' eyes lit up when they saw the little dumpling.

The tomb maiden was seeing so many people for the first time, and she was inevitably a little uncomfortable, so she appeared timid and hesitant in front of them.
