The results of the initial research in Chapter 530
After hearing the notification from the ancient city that "the upgrade is complete," Zhong Cai merely raised an eyebrow and continued with her work.
He is currently in the inner city of the ancient city.
Now each alchemist has their own room for research, which is equipped with various defensive formations, and their patients are placed in this room.
Because patients are different from one another, there are also some small cubicles in the room where beds are placed.
The ancient city is now like a speck of dust, resting on a table.
Zhong Cai entered, thus naturally concealing his presence.
The room was filled with countless medicinal herbs, which he could take whenever he needed them.
Because the simulation room was very useful and Zhong Cai was exceptionally talented, after numerous studies, he finally devised a method to awaken the consciousness of the primordial spirit. However, this method required a very high level of primordial spirit strength; to truly awaken it, the primordial spirit needed to be nourished first.
After some thought, Zhong Cai used a variety of simulated medicinal herbs to nourish and awaken the simulated primordial spirit.
In the previous instances, the primordial spirit collapsed because it was not nourished enough.
After much deliberation and seven or eight attempts, Zhong Cai finally determined the appropriate amount of nourishment to support the awakening of consciousness. Then, to avoid any dangerous consequences that might result from the slight differences between the simulation and the real situation, he further simulated the nourishment of the primordial spirit to ensure that there would be plenty of room for maneuver after the awakening. Only then did he finalize the treatment process.
After leaving the ancient city, Zhong Cai picked out the medicinal herbs she wanted from among the many available.
Each item is quite valuable. Besides the ones Zhong Cai picked from the ancient city's medicinal garden, there are a few that are obtained through card draws, which are relatively rare.
If we use them all... then the life of this Yuan Soul is quite precious.
Zhong Cai deliberately let his mind wander, and with great difficulty, he managed to erase the image of the handsome young man that would pop into his mind whenever he had a spare moment. He finally focused his attention on the cubicles in front of him.
He opened the first cubicle.
These cubicles are also carefully arranged; from the first to the eighth, they are arranged in order of increasing difficulty, as he estimated.
When you need to awaken your consciousness, you should naturally choose the first room.
Zhong Cai opened the door to the cubicle.
There was indeed a hospital bed inside, with a ball of light resting steadily on it.
The ball of light, seemingly both real and illusory, was none other than the primordial soul.
Zhong Cai walked over, took out a medicine cauldron, and began to put the medicinal herbs and rare treasures into it.
This is to refine a soul-nourishing elixir.
Before long, the medicinal liquid was ready.
Zhong Cai walked to the ball of primordial spirit light, raised his hand and used a stream of profound energy to transform it into a thin thread, binding the ball of primordial spirit light.
Immediately, he used hand seals to begin guiding the energy.
The primordial spirit orb did not resist—in fact, it had been completely stripped away, had no consciousness, and did not know how to resist at all.
The primordial spirit obediently entered the cauldron and was completely immersed in the medicinal liquid.
Then, the faint light flickering on the primordial spirit orb became slightly brighter than before.
Then, the light became brighter and brighter.
At the same time, the aura emanating from the ball of light became more stable, and the ball of light itself was slowly expanding.
Gradually, it began to vaguely resemble a human figure.
This is a sign that the primordial spirit is gradually becoming stronger.
Gradually, the facial features of the humanoid figure became clearer.
There was still a little bit of the medicine left.
Zhong Cai roughly determined that once the remaining medicine was used up, she would be able to regain consciousness.
Therefore, Zhong Cai seized the time, took a new medicine cauldron, and went to refine medicine that could awaken consciousness.
The refining process for that medicine was even more refined. Because each primordial soul that awakens consciousness is different, there was no specific pill created for it. Instead, a custom-made medicinal liquid was still used to prepare it...
This busy work lasted for more than two hours.
When Zhong Cai looked at the cauldron again, he saw the bewildered primordial spirit inside.
He is portrayed as a rather frail-looking young man.
Her eyebrows and eyes were very gentle.
Zhong Cai couldn't help but recall the evil artifact to which the boy's primordial spirit was attached.
hiss.
He remembered that the resentment on the evil artifact was extremely intense, and it only contained the boy's resentment. However, the artifact itself was very powerful, all of which was provided by the boy's various emotions...
The boy I saw at that time was just a bunch of people, but he looked really ferocious, and occasionally he would reveal a distorted face.
Compared to now, it's like two completely different souls.
Zhong Cai didn't think much of it; it was all about saving lives.
Therefore, he quickly cast a hand seal, directly summoning the boy's primordial spirit from the cauldron and sending it into the medicine cauldron in front of him, which was already filled with the potion to restore consciousness.
After the boy's soul landed in the new medicinal liquid, his previously bewildered expression turned ferocious once again.
The medicinal materials used in this liquid are extremely potent, so the effects are also very strong, employing a "one-hit kill" method.
It directly evokes the deepest memories in the soul's heart, then follows those memories to find the person whose memory is most profound, and then radiates outwards... from awakening the soul's memories to restoring the soul's consciousness.
Zhong Cai observed for a while, and then thought about the experiment she had done in the simulation room, and estimated a roughly appropriate time.
The process of regaining consciousness involves reviewing past memories. Even if the subconscious mind processes these memories quickly, it still takes at least several hours.
He might as well go and study a few other similar cases.
With this in mind, Zhong Cai returned to the ancient city and began new research.

The battlefield of the Sun-Covering Mountains was divided into many sections, each where countless cultivators from both the righteous and evil paths were fighting.
This evil patriarch has not yet made a move, but the disciples of the Nine Sounds Sect and the Sun-Covering Alliance have already suffered heavy casualties on both sides.
Moreover, the number of casualties was roughly the same—initially, the main force suffered more casualties, but later, with the deployment of more personnel, the numbers were barely balanced.
However, despite the constant deaths of those around them, the disciples of the Nine Sounds Sect themselves had no complaints.
After all, although Li Zhaotian intended to attack the Yanri Alliance, he had consulted with the entire sect before proceeding.
It could be that Li Zhaotian leads some fellow elders to the Ancestor of the Hidden Sun Alliance to fight, or the entire sect, along with all the major and minor forces in the region, launches a great war together—if a great war is launched together, he will take out many treasures from his secret vault as battle merits that can be exchanged.
The result was that over 90% of the members of the Nine Sounds Sect were willing to launch a major war.
Admittedly, they knew that many would perish, and that they themselves might make mistakes. But regardless of victory or defeat, as long as they survived, they would surely gain merit and many benefits—these were treasures from the secret vault of the Tongtian Ancestor! How could they not fight hard for their cultivation?
In addition, the distance between the Yanri Mountain Range and the Jiuyinmen's base is not very far.
These are arguably the two closest level-nine powers.
Although evil forces cannot operate openly, they do engage in clandestine activities. Therefore, many of the relatives and friends of the Nine Sounds Sect disciples who perished during their training were actually victims of the evil forces of the Sun-Covering Alliance.
Hatred combined with reward is what created their unified mindset.

The Sun-Covering Mountains are indeed a desolate and treacherous place, but there are many heretical sects skilled in formations there. As early as when the Nine Sounds Sect attacked, formations were set up everywhere, thus dividing the battlefield.
In the same battlefield, the number of evil paths is often greater than that of righteous paths; if the number of righteous paths is greater than that of evil paths, then in many cases, the level of evil paths is higher than that of righteous paths.
Of course, this isn't absolute; there are always times when it's not so convenient to distribute the number of people on the righteous and evil paths in a way that perfectly suits the desires of the Sun-Covering Alliance. But even if only half or three or four out of ten can create such a situation, it already gives the evil path a significant advantage.
In addition, the other methods used by the evil sects were also very unpredictable, which was the reason why the Nine Sounds Sect was initially at a disadvantage.
Later, the Nine Sounds Sect dispatched many experts, many of whom were formation masters. After being deployed to the battlefield, they broke many formations, gradually leveling the playing field in terms of the number of people and strength of the righteous and evil factions, and finally turning the tide of the battle.
The battlefield is still divided into sections, but this is not mainly due to the formation's allocation. Rather, it is because the battlefield was previously divided under the formation's effect, and the attacks launched by many cultivators created countless ravines, directly causing the mountain range to split.
Therefore, many cultivators simply fought on different sections of the mountain range...
·
Today, a nine-headed dragon is coiled in a vast, split mountain range.
Its sharp claws gripped a section of the mountain, while its massive, blood-red dragon body seemed to extend in all directions, constantly stretching and contracting—with each contraction and contraction, the dragon's head could bite or even chew up the bodies of several evil beings.
Many evil spirits, after being caught in the dragon's mouth, fell into its throat as the dragon tilted its head back, continuing to fall downwards along its body.
Why can we see it falling?
It is because the dragon's body appears to be a deep blood color, yet it is half real and half ethereal. When the evil path slides down the dragon's throat, it can reveal a clear outline.
So, if you look at it a few more times, you'll find that the evil path is actually melting away as it slides down... It disappears before it even reaches the end.
At the same time, the crimson aura around the dragon intensified.
It's truly terrifying.
On the battlefield adjacent to this one, a shadow kept flashing.
Every time the shadow pauses slightly, a wicked path suddenly transforms into a mass of flesh and blood.
Even more terrifying is that after the evil path is shattered into flesh and blood, it will be devoured by a halo above the figure. Those with high cultivation and excellent eyesight can see that the halo is actually a bowl, with its opening facing the flesh and blood, quickly swallowing it up.
And in the area adjacent to this battlefield, a fine, dense rain of light was continuously falling.
Where the rain of light fell, countless evil cultivators let out mournful howls and perished.
