34: Soul silk, wool-pulling plan!

Half a day later.

At the foot of Refining Soul Peak, where Thousand Dreams Hall is located.

A river, tens of feet wide, flowed down, with steep cliffs about a dozen feet high on both banks.

On a large green vine-covered rock on the cliff, Shi Chuan, dressed in a black robe, sat cross-legged, his eyes under the bronze ghost mask watching Qin Zhizhi, who was riding a Corpse Hound towards him.

“Master, this is the Dream Creation Pill.”

“This Thousand Dreams Hall is truly exploitative. This Dream Creation Pill is only Low Grade First-Tier, yet it sells for more than some Medium Grade Medicinal Pills.”

“According to Master's instructions, I bought three bottles of Dream Creation Pill this time.”

“Also, the talismans Master gave me sold for the exact price Master mentioned. The talismans were of excellent quality, so the Thousand Dreams Hall shopkeeper didn't haggle.”

Qin Zhizhi dismounted from the Corpse Hound and walked to Shi Chuan, respectfully holding a Storage Pouch.

Shi Chuan took the Storage Pouch and probed it with his Divine Thought.

Inside were three black Medicinal Pill bottles and sixty-three Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Then, Shi Chuan casually took out a black Medicinal Pill bottle and poured out a dark red Medicinal Pill. The Medicinal Pill had silver speckles on it.

Shi Chuan sniffed the Medicinal Pill, and his heart already understood.

The famous Medicinal Pill of Thousand Dreams Hall was not some so-called Dream Creation Pill; it was clearly a combination of Soul Devouring Pill and Profound Dream Pill.

Old Demon Wangu Teng's memories contained this kind of Medicinal Pill.

In fact, when Old Demon Wangu Teng was studying the Dao of Medicinal Pills, he had personally refined both of these Medicinal Pills, both of which were First-Tier grade.

The Soul Devouring Pill could devour a Cultivator's Soul, while the Profound Dream Pill, after entering a dream, could occasionally increase one's Comprehension Ability.

The combination of the two created the current reputation of the Dream Creation Pill.

However, the Cultivator who could combine these two Medicinal Pills and refine this Medicinal Pill did possess some talent.

Cultivators who consumed Soul Devouring Pills for a long time would, over time, have wisps of Soul Power emanating from their Sea of Consciousness.

This Soul Power could be collected, and if there was enough Soul Power, refining it into a Soul Pill could enhance one's Divine Soul.

The Dream Creation Pill of Thousand Dreams Hall was widely renowned.

Almost all Disciples on Refining Soul Peak would purchase this Medicinal Pill for Cultivation, as occasionally increasing Comprehension Ability could boost their cultivation base.

However, this would cause their own Divine Soul cultivation base to become increasingly weak.

The person behind this, capable of such a widespread arrangement, was very likely the Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators from Thousand Dreams Hall and Refining Soul Peak.

Sucking the souls from all the Disciples.

As expected of the Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators in the Demonic Sect. Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Red God Sect back then would also raise many low-level Cultivators to provide them with Soul Devouring Pills, to collect their Soul Power and refine Soul Pills.

If they harvested too aggressively, without regard for the consequences, many Disciples would become mentally disabled and insane within a few short years.

Wouldn't all those Qi Refining Disciples on Refining Soul Peak be mentally disabled?

The consequence was also easy to lose one's mind, and during a fight, one would also lack the subtle control over Spells due to insufficient Divine Soul cultivation.

However, on Refining Soul Peak, they would generally refine a Soul Banner and command a few evil spirits to protect themselves.

The effect of the Soul Banner was similar to the Profound Yin Banner, except that the Profound Yin Banner's Evil Qi transformation into spiritual energy, and the material of the Profound Yin Banner itself, were comparable to a Second-Tier Top Grade Magical Artifact.

It was only half a step away from having the potential to evolve into a Magic Treasure.

In terms of Materials, even within the entire Yellow Springs Demon Sect, it would rank highly.

Old Demon Wangu Teng had even prepared for advancing to Nascent Soul, and his combat power would surely be higher than the current Sect Master of Yellow Springs Demon Sect.

“Master, is there something wrong with this Medicinal Pill?”

Qin Zhizhi, waiting by the side, saw Shi Chuan's slight daze and hurriedly bowed, her tone a little flustered.

“Did that Elder from Jiao Demon Sect, your superior, introduce this Dream Creation Pill to you?”

Shi Chuan glanced at Qin Zhizhi beside him.

“Replying to Master, the Elder only gave us a Jade Slip introducing Yellow Springs Demon Sect, and after we memorized it, he destroyed the Jade Slip. He didn't say much to us orally.”

“This Dream Creation Pill was only briefly mentioned in the Jade Slip.”

“The Jade Slip said that one could try a few Dream Creation Pills, which might be helpful when Breaking through to Mid-Stage Qi Refining.”

Qin Zhizhi replied honestly.

Logically, the refining methods for the Soul Devouring Pill and Profound Dream Pill were not particularly secret among Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators.

It was likely that the Elder of Jiao Demon Sect, when arranging this batch of hidden agents into Yellow Springs Demon Sect, did not believe that many of them would survive.

This Dream Creation Pill was even intentionally hinted at, suggesting that a few could be consumed.

It could indeed aid Cultivation, but afterward, if more were consumed, there would be a risk of becoming mentally disabled.

“No wonder the Demonic Fiend Vine on Thousand Dreams Hall could sense wisps of Soul Power emanating from the forest.”

Shi Chuan, on the green vine-covered rock, Cultivated for less than an hour, and with the help of the Demonic Fiend Vine within his body, he actually collected two wisps of milky-white Soul Silk.

This Soul Silk could boost the Divine Soul.

Originally, Shi Chuan thought that there were some Heaven And Earth Treasures in the mountains where Thousand Dreams Hall was located that could enhance Divine Soul cultivation.

Now it seemed to be the effect of the Soul Devouring Pill.

With so many Disciples on Refining Soul Peak, if the Soul Power gathering formation was continuously active, it should only take about three years to gather a Second-Tier Soul Pill.

Any Second-Tier Soul Pill could serve as a Foundation Establishment spiritual item.

Soul Pills could help Cultivators pass the Divine Soul barrier, one of the three major Foundation Establishment hurdles.

The three major hurdles were the Qi and Blood barrier, the Magic Power barrier, and the Divine Soul barrier, with difficulty increasing in that order.

The Divine Soul barrier was also the most perilous.

If one had the assistance of this Soul Pill, one could advance to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

However, the raw Materials within this Soul Pill were the Divine Souls of many Disciples, which had leaked out, mixed with various emotions and desires, containing many Impurities.

Once the Soul Pill was consumed, even if one could successfully advance to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and condense a Foundation Establishment Divine Ability Law Seed.

But one's lifelong cultivation would be stuck at Early Stage Foundation Establishment due to the Impurities in the Soul Pill.

Nevertheless, even so, this Soul Pill was a rare treasure.

Although it couldn't compare to some Heaven And Earth Treasures that enhance the Divine Soul, it had a similar effect, only with extremely severe side effects.

This time, the harvest was considerable, verifying that the Demonic Fiend Vine could collect the Soul Power emanating from the Thousand Dreams Hall mountain forest without the aid of a formation.

However, this matter should only involve secretly plucking a few strands of Soul Silk.

If they were to brazenly set up camp here and have the Demonic Fiend Vine fully collect Soul Power, it would inevitably be noticed by the Foundation Establishment Old Demons on Refining Soul Peak.

Snatching meat from a pack of fierce tigers was too dangerous!

Since this Dream Creation Pill was quite popular throughout the Sect, didn't that mean many Cultivators also purchased it in Nine Bend Market?

Once consumed, they were like mobile Divine Soul power banks!

Then, secretly plucking Soul Silk in Nine Bend Market in the future, so far away from Thousand Dreams Hall, the chance of being noticed shouldn't be high, right?

This plan was feasible! This way, one could consume Soul Silk daily, and the growth rate of Divine Soul Power would surely increase rapidly!

But to pluck Soul Silk in Nine Bend Market, Jiang Yuheng's hidden move still needed to reveal its true form.

This Nine Nether Demonic Fiend Vine truly brought him unexpected benefits the more it grew. It was indeed a rare species of Heaven and Earth.

Shi Chuan, in a great mood, put away the Soul Pill and lightly flew onto the back of the Corpse Hound. The Corpse Hound let out a low growl and began to walk towards the gravel road leading out of the mountain, with Qin Zhizhi hurriedly following.
