Chapter 556 Yuan Soul Mist
The rest was much easier.
Zhong Cai circled the location of the original fragment and easily discerned the order in which the patterns were drawn.
As he thought this, the mutated dragon armor soldier Gu Yuan appeared beside him.
Zhong Cai smiled and lightly touched the patterns with her finger, then condensed the early fragments next to it, and instructed, "Eliminate the energy of the poisonous toad in the order I indicate."
Gu Yuan agreed and immediately did as instructed.
However……
It exploded.
The air currents surged and then quickly dissipated.
If this thing hadn't been simulated, the energy that overflowed from the explosion would have inevitably struck Zhong Cai himself, causing him to explode instantly as well!
However, this scenario was not unexpected for Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai recreated a fragment and instructed again, "Reverse the order from before and try again."
Gu Yuan did as instructed.
This time... it failed again.
It just didn't explode.
But it was still within Zhong Cai's expectations.
He instructed again: "While erasing the energy, also remove the aura of the Heavenly Gate."
Gu Yuan did as instructed again.
This time, however, everything went very smoothly.
As the patterns and scent vanished, the hard, porcelain-like fragments that remained in place slowly began to emit thick smoke...
As the smoke was drawn out, it continued to spread, gradually forming a faint humanoid shape that was almost invisible.
Every single strand of a complete primordial soul is exactly the same. When all the energy that was confining the fragments of the primordial soul disappears, the remaining primordial soul will naturally expand into a complete human form.
However, the fragments contained too little primordial spirit; once expanded, they would be like a shadow about to dissipate.
At this moment, Zhong Cai revealed a relieved smile.
Finally, the hardest part is done!
So what if it's as faint as a wisp of smoke? As long as it's a normal primordial spirit and not a mutated fragment, he's confident he can slowly nourish it and restore it to a sufficient level.
The next step, how to restore the consciousness of this primordial spirit... isn't it just the same procedure as before?
As for whether the primordial soul that regains consciousness will need to reshape its physical body, or whether it will split into three souls and seven spirits again, these are all well-established procedures.
After spending so much time, Zhong Cai finally overcame this problem, and things will be a bit easier from now on.
certainly……
Zhong Cai then reconstituted a fragment of Yuan Soul for Gu Yuan to practice with.
·
It is worth mentioning that the energy-distinguishing liquid that Zhong Cai makes must be smooth and without any "burrs".
Therefore, even when individual fragments are watered with medicinal liquid, the patterns that are revealed will inevitably be blurry and disordered.
Therefore, Gu Yuan had to rely on his memory of the fragment patterns to erase the energy traces. He tried several times to ensure that he would not make any mistakes before he could deal with the real fragment.
·
Gu Yuan was comparable to Tongtian, so his memory was naturally extremely strong. Since he had already tried the operation once before, he was unlikely to make any mistakes.
The so-called attempt is just a precaution.
Sure enough, Gu Yuan tried dozens of times in a row, and each time he succeeded completely without any difference.
Seeing this, Zhong Cai felt relieved.
After a moment's thought, he prepared a vat of medicinal soup to nourish the soul.
Afterwards, Zhong Cai took out the Yuanhun fragment, which was not far from the medicinal soup.
He gestured towards Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan's move was as swift as lightning!
With many previous attempts, this time it went very smoothly again.
The fragments of the primordial soul reverted to wisps of primordial soul smoke, and with a gentle push from Zhong Cai, they fell into the soul-nourishing medicinal bath vat.
Completely submerged, thoroughly soaked...
Next comes the long process of nourishment.
·
Zhong Cai took out another fragment of Yuan Soul with great interest and began to repeat the previous deduction process.
Let's sew it up first to bring out the texture...
Then he discovered that the patterns that were activated this time were different from the previous ones.
Although they are almost identical, there are some subtle differences.
Ah, yes.
Each elemental spirit is different, so naturally the patterns on these spirits may have subtle differences.
Fortunately, with previous experience, the choices to make during the deduction process are much fewer, and it is not as cumbersome as the first time.
But... it's still cumbersome.
Zhong Cai let out a breath, and the interest she had just felt vanished instantly.
They still have to do manual labor.
After rubbing her temples, Zhong Cai resignedly continued.
·
Five fragments, each one different.
Zhong Cai then spent a considerable amount of time finally turning all the fragments into thin smoke, which he then soaked in the soul-nourishing water tank.
What follows is the long process of nurturing the soul.
—During this period, the warships outside the Lingxian Sect had returned to the sect, most of the disciples of the War God Hall had returned to their own homes, and most of the alchemists had also taken a few difficult cases to their own territories.
While there were still some flying artifacts docked outside the two factions, and some people from both factions remained, and more people continued to come seeking medical help, the scale was no longer as large as before.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan naturally returned to Qian Yuan Island as well.
·
After that, for the soul-nourishing process, Zhong Cai only needed to give the soul-nourishing medicine to a puppet and let it be replaced with a new medicine when the color of the medicine in the vat became light and was about to turn into clear water.
Zhong Cai herself, on the other hand, focused on cultivation.
He's become somewhat numb to studying various alchemy techniques. Although he feels there's still much to learn about seventh-level alchemy, he should spend some time improving his own cultivation level.
After all, Zhong Cai also wanted to enter the Spirit Transformation stage as soon as possible.
Otherwise... when he has thoroughly mastered the seventh level of alchemy and wants to enter the eighth level, but his own realm has not yet reached it, wouldn't that drive him crazy?
The matter of cultivation realm... Zhong Cai finally remembered that this was also something that could not be overlooked.
·
Wu Shaogan enhanced the power of his newly comprehended secret technique and also improved its execution method.
Just as they came out of the room, they found Zhong Cai meditating in the bedroom.
Zhong Cai remained calm as he continuously drew upon the energy of heaven and earth, channeling it into his body to transform into precious light and strengthen his Dao Palace.
He was very focused.
But Zhong Cai has always loved to smile. Even when he is focused on cultivating, his lips are slightly curved, as if he is wearing a smile.
They look very approachable and are also very lively and handsome.
When Wu Shaogan saw Zhong Cai like this, his expression softened.
At the same time, he leaned down slightly and kissed Zhong Cai on the cheek.
Zhong Cai did not react at all.
He was completely immersed in his cultivation, with no other thoughts in his mind, but at this time he was often not to be touched, otherwise he would surely be awakened—but he wasn't now.
Zhong Cai was completely unaware.
This is precisely because he is extremely familiar with Wu Shaogan, so familiar that he accepts Wu Shaogan wholeheartedly whenever Wu Shaogan is so close to him.
He was completely unguarded around Wu Shaogan, the only person he didn't guard against.
After kissing Zhong Cai's left cheek, Wu Shaogan kissed his right cheek.
Zhong Cai still didn't respond.
Wu Shaogan glanced at Zhong Cai a few more times and, sensing how quickly Zhong Cai was absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, couldn't help but laugh again.
His Ah Cai is always so adorable!
·
Wu Shaogan quietly watched over Zhong Cai for a while.
When he came to his senses, he hadn't even realized how long he had been staring at it.
But that's not important.
Wu Shaogan left the sleeping quarters, intending to find some classical texts to read.
When we arrived at the outer hall, we saw several large vats lined up side by side.
Wu Shaogan suddenly remembered that these were the few who were still nurturing their souls.
Despite having used several tanks of medicinal liquid, these humanoid wisps of primordial spirit fragments are incredibly fragile and extremely difficult to cultivate. As a result, even after so much time has passed, they have only thickened slightly.
It will probably take a long time to truly restore them to a level sufficient to awaken their consciousness.
And a large amount of medicinal liquid.
Wu Shaogan's lips curved into a smile.
It seems that Acai is going to lose money again this time.
But that's okay.
As long as A-Cai is happy.
·
After looking at it for a while, Wu Shaogan indeed went to look for classical texts.
The couple now have a vast collection of books in their library, not only acquired through various adventures and serendipitous encounters, but also many that they recorded from their respective lineages.
Wu Shaogan was mainly looking for various secret techniques, hoping to gain inspiration from them.
He's always been good at this.
With the training room that simulates the derivation of secret techniques, he was even more powerful.
Even though Wu Shaogan wasn't fully immersed in cultivation, he was still improving his combat power every moment.
·
Just as Wu Shaogan was searching, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
Wu Shaogan was about to turn back.
At that moment, someone else covered his eyes.
Wu Shaogan smiled unconsciously and said gently, "Oh dear, I could never guess who it is."
Immediately, a clear voice rang out: "Then why don't you guess more?"
Wu Shaogan's smile deepened: "Let me think... isn't it the cutest A-Cai?"
The voice also carried a crisp laugh: "Then congratulations on guessing correctly!"
Then, Wu Shaogan removed the hand from his eyes.
As soon as Wu Shaogan opened his eyes, he was met with a bright, smiling face.
It was also his ever-present smiling face.
The next moment, the owner of the smiling face jumped up and hung on Wu Shaogan, wrapping his arms around his neck and his legs around his waist, like an octopus, sticky and tight.
Wu Shaogan lowered his head slightly.
The smiling boy also happily moved closer.
The two of them kissed.
·
After they had kissed enough, the couple sat down on the ground, leaning against each other.
The books that Wu Shaogan had just selected were piled up not far away.
Zhong Cai yawned and snuggled closer to Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan's eyebrows and eyes are very gentle.
The atmosphere between the two was very warm.
Zhong Cai had something she wanted to discuss with Wu Shaogan, so she said directly to him, "There are too many cultivation sites in our ancient city, so I was thinking... could we tell Master about this?"
This was exactly what Zhong Cai had thought about long ago.
The ancient city's cultivation grounds offer numerous benefits to cultivators, whether they are martial arts practitioners or alchemists. If they can make good use of them, the rewards will be enormous.
He and Lao Wu don't have much time available, so a lot of it is often left unused... which is actually a bit of a waste.
The two of them have basically nothing to fear now, and opening up the ancient city doesn't seem like a big deal.
