414: Increase the strength of the soul

He paused, looking into Lin Qingxue’s eyes, and said tenderly:

“It’s like you, pure and aloof, yet it is the most sacred and flawless snow lotus in my heart.”

Lin Qingxue felt the warm, cool sensation from the Jade Hairpin in her hair, listening to Yao Delong’s heartfelt confession.

The last trace of reservation in her heart vanished, leaving only immense sweetness and emotion.

She actively wrapped her arms around Yao Delong’s neck and pressed a raw yet incredibly sincere kiss on his lips, carrying the fresh scent of an ice lotus.

“Thank you… Delong.”

Her voice trembled with a hint of shyness, yet it was incredibly clear.

Seeing Lin Qingxue finally smile, as if ice and snow had melted,

and spring had returned to the earth, Yao Delong’s heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

He gently embraced her, savoring the warmth and tranquility of the moment.

Half a day later, Lin Qingxue left the courtyard contentedly,

carrying the Ice Soul Snow Lotus Hairpin as if it were Yao Delong’s profound affection.

Under the moonlight, her usually aloof figure seemed to soften a little.

The ice lotus in her hair bun glowed with a gentle Spiritual Light in the night, adding to her ethereal Immortal Qi.

In the courtyard, only Yao Delong remained, facing a mountain of rare treasures.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the slight ripple in his heart caused by Lin Qingxue’s departure, and his gaze once again became sharp and focused.

The most pressing task was to organize these resources and prepare for his upcoming seclusion!

His Divine Thought spread out like a tide, precisely sweeping over every item.

Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng, Star Essence Gold, Deep Sea Cold Iron... these top-tier Materials that could cause a bloody storm in the outside world,

were now systematically categorized by him and placed into different storage rings.

Most of them were Heaven And Earth Treasure used for Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or auxiliary Cultivation, priceless but not what he most urgently needed at the moment.

His gaze finally settled on several Jade Bottles emitting a special aura.

The first Jade Bottle was warm and smooth, shaped like a Yin and Yang twin fish, and it was one of the congratulatory gifts from the Moyang Sect—the yin-yang enlightenment disk!

This disk felt warm and cool to the touch, and a profound aura of the Great Dao subtly emanated from it,

as if it could soothe the agitated Divine Soul and help one sink into a deeper state of enlightenment.

More importantly, it naturally contained a trace of Yin and Yang Law, capable of protecting the Divine Soul and resisting external evil invasion.

For the Soul Transformation bottleneck, which involved the upcoming Fusion of the Nascent Soul and Divine Soul, it was an invaluable treasure!

“Good stuff!” Yao Delong’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and he carefully placed the Yin-Yang Enlightenment Stone aside.

The second Jade Bottle contained a small, purple-gold gourd.

Pulling out the stopper, a refreshing and peculiar Medicinal Pill fragrance permeated, reaching deep into the Soul,

instantly revitalizing one's spirit!

Inside the gourd, a round Medicinal Pill the size of a longan lay quietly,

its surface flowing with a hazy purple Qi—a Soul Condensing Pill!

Also gifted by the Moyang Sect, this Medicinal Pill was specifically created to nourish and strengthen the Divine Soul.

Its medicinal power was pure and gentle, making it a top-tier Divine Pill for enhancing Divine Soul strength!

“The Soul Condensing Pill combined with the spirit nurturing pill... with both working together, my Divine Soul strength will surely reach an unprecedented level!”

Yao Delong’s heart burned with excitement, and his confidence surged.

Finally, his gaze fell upon an inconspicuous gray stone sphere.

This was a gift from Li Wangsheng, the Valley Master of Myriad Sword Valley. As his Divine Thought probed, the interior of the stone sphere seemed to contain a miniature starry sky.

Countless Sword Qi, as fine as needles, swam, collided, and fused within it,

emitting an incomparably sharp and incisive aura that could cut through everything!

“High Grade Heaven-Grade Weapon, Sky-Rending Sword Orb!”

Yao Delong’s heart trembled. This item did not need to be refined into a Flying Sword form; it was the purest, most condensed Origin of Sword Qi itself!

One only needed to warm it with Divine Soul Sword Intent, establishing a connection of mind,

and it could transform into thousands of Sword Silks at will, forming a deadly Sword Array, or condensing into an indestructible Sword Qi!

Its potential and power were far beyond what ordinary Flying Swords could compare to!

Without the slightest hesitation, Yao Delong pointed his fingers like a sword, concentrating pure Divine Soul Power at his fingertips,

and swiftly carved his unique Soul imprint onto the Yin-Yang Enlightenment Stone and the Sword Orb!

Buzz!

The Yin-Yang Enlightenment Stone flashed with light, and its warm aura instantly connected with his Divine Soul, as if becoming a part of his Sea of Consciousness.

The Sword Orb, meanwhile, emitted a clear Sword Cry, and a crack appeared on the surface of the gray stone sphere.

A silver-white Sword Light, condensed to the extreme, flashed and disappeared, directly entering Yao Delong’s glabella,

sinking deep into his Sea of Consciousness, hovering beside the Heart Sword phantom, slowly rotating,

and exhaling sharp Sword Qi, beginning to accept the nourishment and assimilation of his Divine Soul and Sword Intent.

“With these two treasures protecting and nourishing, my Divine Soul is safe, and I have something to rely on for attack!”

Yao Delong felt the changes in his Sea of Consciousness, and a surge of boldness rose within him.

Yao Delong no longer delayed. His figure flashed, and he entered the Secret Chamber specifically used for Alchemy.

The heavy stone door slammed shut, and layers of Restriction lights illuminated, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

With a wave of his hand, the ancient and heavy mountain river sun moon cauldron, emanating a vast aura, landed with a thud.

Yao Delong sat cross-legged, his mind as calm as still water.

The steps for refining the spirit nurturing pill were already deeply ingrained in his mind, and all the main and auxiliary Spirit Medicine were prepared.

His fingertips danced with the Life-Generating Creation Fire, precisely controlling the heat,

and he threw Spirit Medicine of ancient vintage and abundant Spiritual Qi into the Cauldron one by one.

The medicinal liquid churned and fused under the refinement of the True Fire, emitting a peculiar medicinal fragrance that soothed the Divine Soul.

On the body of the Cauldron, the phantom images of the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers slowly rotated,

as if enacting the creation of heaven and earth, subtly enhancing the quality of the Medicinal Pill.

Several days later.

Buzz!

The mountain river sun moon cauldron emitted a clear hum, and its lid opened by itself.

Nine Medicinal Pills, the size of longans and shrouded in multicolored light, flew out as if sentient,

and were steadily caught by the Jade Bottle Yao Delong had prepared.

Each spirit nurturing pill was round and full, with naturally formed pill patterns, exuding powerful Divine Soul nourishing fluctuations.

“Nine Revolutions pill pattern!”

Yao Delong nodded in satisfaction. He did not stop, taking advantage of his excellent state,

he refined several more batches, gathering a total of ten nine revolutions spirit nurturing pills!

Besides keeping some for himself, he also reserved a portion for Lin Qingxue, Liu Rumei, Luo Miaomiao, and even Li Linger.

After completing all this, Yao Delong adjusted his state and sat cross-legged in the center of the quiet room.

He first took out a spirit nurturing pill and consumed it. The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his mouth,

transforming into a warm and cool torrent that slowly flowed into his Sea of Consciousness.

This power was like the finest spring rain, silently nourishing every wisp of his Divine Soul,

bringing an indescribable sense of comfort, as if his Divine Soul was immersed in a warm Spiritual Spring.

All fatigue vanished, and his mind was clearer than ever before.

Once the medicinal power of the spirit nurturing pill had fully dissolved, and his Sea of Consciousness was in a full and active state,

Yao Delong unhesitatingly took out that precious Soul Condensing Pill!

The moment the Soul Condensing Pill entered his mouth, its medicinal power instantly erupted! Unlike the gentle nourishment of the spirit nurturing pill,

the medicinal power of the Soul Condensing Pill was like a surging river, carrying a majestic and pure Origin of Soul Power, crashing into his Sea of Consciousness!

Boom!

Yao Delong felt his entire Sea of Consciousness tremble!

The originally calm Divine Soul Power was like a lake into which a giant rock had been thrown, violently churning and expanding!

That pure Origin of Soul Power domineeringly integrated into the core of his Divine Soul, forcefully raising the upper limit of his Divine Soul’s strength!
