Qi Zhiheng collected Yang Mengqiu's soul into the Reincarnation Disc and took it outside the space. After reciting the Rebirth Sutra for him, he sent him into reincarnation.
Afterwards, he returned to the space to check on Yang Yitian's condition. Yang Yitian had already entered a meditative state, and Qi Zhiheng had to stay there to prevent any accidents from happening.
Yang Yitian's fusion this time did not take too long. Perhaps it was because his soul urgently needed the repair of the remnant soul. This fusion was very quick, and he fused his soul in just one day.
Yang Mengqing's soul was clean, without much karmic burden or cause and effect, making it easier to merge with her.
He opened his eyes, and the dark circles under his eyes had completely disappeared.
Qi Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that his soul has stabilized a lot this time."
Yang Yitian nodded: "It's definitely much better."
There were still quite a few weapon refiners waiting for Qi Zhiheng outside, so he immediately said, "Since everything is alright, let's go out."
The two left the space hand in hand, and Qi Zhiheng said, "We've been staying in the City Lord's Mansion these past few days, why don't we go out for a stroll today?"
There always seemed to be endless things to do lately, and Qi Zhiheng hadn't done anything challenging alone with Yang Yitian for a long time.
Yang Yitian immediately agreed, and the two walked out of the city lord's mansion together.
As soon as they stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Zhiheng was stunned, and Yang Yitian also found it unbelievable: "Why are there so many people outside the City Lord's Mansion?"
This number is basically more than ten times that of a few months ago.
Qi Zhiheng teased Ou Xie, saying he didn't understand what had happened. He led Yang Yitian to other parts of the street: "Let's go, let's go to other streets, there should be fewer people there."
Unaware of the current situation, Qi Zhiheng led Yang Yitian to another street.
As it turned out, they had oversimplified things. It wasn't just that there were many people outside the City Lord's Mansion, but that there were many people throughout the entire city! Qi Zhiheng spread his divine sense outwards and discovered that there were quite a few cultivators scattered throughout the city, and many cultivators had set up stalls on the streets, selling materials for refining weapons or spiritual artifacts!
Yang Yitian, puzzled, asked, "Why are there so many weapon refiners in our city?" He saw a street where almost all the shops and vendors were selling weapon-refining related items!
"Has our city become a weapon-refining city?" Yang Yitian finally turned his attention to Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng then remembered what Xiong Shuang had reported to him earlier: "It's broken. Xiong Shuang did say that quite a few weapon refiners had come to Ascension City before." But the current situation is no longer what Xiong Shuang described...
It seems to have gotten even more serious.
The two didn't stay outside for long and returned somewhat embarrassed.
Qi Zhiheng asked Xiong Shuang about the situation and learned the whole story.
Qi Zhiheng originally just wanted to find a weapon refiner to modify his spiritual weapon, but he never expected so many weapon refiners to gather there.
Here's the specific situation.
Qi Zhiheng needs level eight and nine weapon refiners. Upon hearing this news, many level eight and nine weapon refiners decided to come to Shengxian City to try their luck.
Once these powerful weapon refiners in the Central Continent decided to take action, many weapon refiners of other ranks came to try their luck and see if they could meet those top figures in the field of weapon refinement.
Thus, the city of Ascension has become a hub for weapon refiners.
Xiong Shuang asked somewhat guiltily, "City Lord, should we restrict outsiders from entering the city?"
Although they must have collected quite a few spirit stones just from the city entrance fees, they couldn't ignore the overcrowding inside the city.
Qi Zhiheng waved his hand and said, "No need." Restricting personnel entry is only a temporary solution; what he should do most right now is to find the most skilled weapon refiner as soon as possible.
Therefore, Qi Zhiheng did not hesitate and directly met with eight level nine weapon refiners. He then passed on the level nine spiritual weapon to see who could modify it according to his requirements.
In the end, a level nine weapon refiner actually stood out and took over Qi Zhiheng's task.
After delivering the required materials, Qi Zhiheng simply waited for news. Half a month later, the level nine alchemist delivered a satisfactory answer to Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng examined the magical artifact and confirmed that it had indeed been modified according to his own ideas, and its power had been greatly enhanced.
Qi Zhiheng then took out the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc.
The level nine weapon refiner was shocked: "This is a semi-divine weapon!"
Qi Zhiheng nodded and said, "It can be considered a semi-immortal artifact, but it is useless to ordinary cultivators."
The other party quickly understood what he meant by "not very effective against cultivators": "This is a semi-divine artifact used by Buddhist cultivators." He secretly felt it was a pity that it had been given to those bald monks.
Qi Zhiheng seemed to see this meaning in his eyes...
The weapon refiner said, "Don't worry, City Lord, I will make good use of this semi-immortal weapon and refine it to achieve the effect you desire."
Qi Zhiheng cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll trouble you, senior." The other party was at the Tribulation Transcending stage, while he was at the Mahayana stage, so Qi Zhiheng couldn't put on airs under these circumstances.
This weapon refiner was indeed quite skilled. After Qi Zhiheng stated his requirements, he spent two months modifying all the parts that Qi Zhiheng wanted to change.
"I have fulfilled my mission." The weapon refiner looked pleased, clearly having accomplished a great task; the ninth-grade top-quality pill was almost in his hands.
Qi Zhiheng was very satisfied with the brand-new Six Paths Reincarnation Disc and immediately pulled Yang Yitian to try it out: "Senior, let's try it out first."
The other party didn't dwell on it for that short time and let him go.
Qi Zhiheng first dripped Yang Yitian's blood into the Wheel Soul, and then transferred a portion of Yang Yitian's soul power into it.
Qi Zhiheng restarted the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The Six Paths Reincarnation Disc rapidly absorbed Qi Zhiheng's spiritual energy and began to circulate, summoning the spirits of the dead from afar.
The next day, a soul entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Yang Yitian sensed something: "This is my soul!" He could feel it.
Qi Zhiheng was also pleased, which meant it was useful: "Let's take a look first. Some of those who are far away probably haven't arrived yet."
The modified Reincarnation Disc worked, so Qi Zhiheng went to see the weapon refiner again to deliver the pills he had promised.
The other party had already prepared several portions of spiritual herbs and handed them to Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng didn't say much, and immediately told the outside world that he was in seclusion to refine pills.
Then he went to the room where the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc was located, and first fed it enough spiritual energy before entering the space to refine the pill. After successfully refining the pill, Qi Zhiheng returned to the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc and, together with Yang Yitian, guarded its condition.
He is now publicly claiming that he is in seclusion refining pills and will not be going out for at least two or three months, so he can stay here and observe the changes in the Soul Refining Disc.
After half a month, the number of remnant souls gathered more and more.
Things quickly went against his expectations, because it seemed that there were quite a few remnant souls attracted.
Looking at the densely packed hundred or so fragmented souls, Qi Zhiheng felt a chill run down his spine. Although he knew Yang Yitian's soul had been scattered, he was still extremely shocked to see so many. It was probably impossible for an ordinary person's soul to be split into so many parts.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to fuse with all these remnant souls at once," Qi Zhiheng said after thinking for a moment. "Although they are all your souls, they have all been tainted by karma after reincarnation. If you fuse with them all at once, you will have to bear these karmas. If you bear too much, you may devour yourself." These remnant souls are not as clean as Yang Mengqing's, which is easy to absorb. These remnant souls all have their own lives.
These numerous remnant souls are likely only a part of the whole; perhaps there are other souls in this world who haven't yet departed. If they were to merge together, Yang Yitian would surely develop inner demons.
"Then I'll fuse it little by little?" Yang Yitian said, "Let me see the limits of fusion first."
Qi Zhiheng nodded, agreeing: "Try to fuse as much as you can at once, and save the rest for when you undergo tribulation. The lightning tribulation has a certain cleansing effect on karma and other things. If you fuse while undergoing tribulation, in addition to cleansing your karma, it will also allow your soul to fuse faster." He had seen these theories in the books left behind by Immortal Lord Hanqing.
"Is this method reliable?" Yang Yitian asked Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng said, "There is a certain degree of danger. After all, there is a high possibility of accidents during the tribulation of lightning. Moreover, this tribulation of lightning requires you to use your body to withstand it. Therefore, during this period, you also need to improve your physique. Start practicing the body tempering technique more often starting tomorrow." Every method has its risks, so he can only make more preparations to prevent possible accidents.
Yang Yitian: "...Body tempering." To be honest, he didn't really like body tempering. Body tempering techniques mainly strengthen the body, and the process is bound to be unpleasant.
He also practiced body-strengthening techniques in his early years, but as for his progress... well, let's not talk about it!
Now that he has to pick up the body-strengthening techniques again, he regrets that he has been lazy all these years. If he had spent more time on body-strengthening earlier, he wouldn't be forced into this situation now.
Yang Yitian had recently fused with Yang Mengqing's soul, and his condition was quite good. He immediately captured a remnant soul and began the fusion process.
A few days later, the first soul fused successfully, but the feeling was not pleasant.
Qi Zhiheng gave him a Soul Refining Pill: "Eat this pill."
This is a pill made with Soul Purifying Water. It can be used to train one's soul in normal times, and when used now, it can purify the impurities in Yang Yitian's soul.
After Yang Yitian took the pill, his brow remained furrowed. The reason was simple: the pill had exacerbated his existing discomfort.
Qi Zhiheng reassured him, "This situation is temporary. If you don't eat it, these impurities will only accumulate more and more. It's better to have a short pain than a long one."
Yang Yitian had no choice but to accept his fate.
