195: Chapter 195 Luo Yunkai: It's still better to have more sons.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for nurturing the Bloodline Xuanming to Breakthrough to Peak Golden Core, awarding an education fund of eight hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and one hundred percent cultivation Feedback..."

Luo Yunkai lay there, and his cultivation suddenly surged with a 'thud'.

He broke through from Middle Stage Golden Core to Late Stage Golden Core, and even advanced significantly within the Late Stage Golden Core, not far from Peak Golden Core.

Luo Yunkai sat up in shock, "Xuanming found a soul vein? This Soul Stone Secret Realm was truly worth visiting!"

He immediately beamed with joy, "Having more sons is really the way to go!"

His Divine Sense swept towards the Xuanming child, Wuji, who was Cultivating the "Nine Nether Ghost God Prison" inside the room. Luo Yunkai mused that his own time to reach Peak Golden Core was not far off.

He lay back down...

"Creak, creak..."

The rocking chair swayed back and forth, exuding an air of leisure and contentment.

...

The center of the Soul Stone Secret Realm, the Soul Mountain mineral vein.

Xuanming had not expected that the soul vein would be found so easily.

The soul stone mineral vein at the center of the Soul Stone Secret Realm was able to continuously generate soul stones precisely because of the existence of the soul vein.

Xuanming sensed the existence of the soul vein and dared not disturb it, maintaining the pretense of only being there to mine.

He carved out a mine tunnel not far from the soul vein and began mining.

He did not force the soul vein to move. He stopped when there was still some distance to the soul vein, piling up all the soul stones he stepped on nearby, as if preparing to Cultivate.

And he was indeed Cultivating.

The Soul Qi within the soul stones was extracted and flowed into Xuanming's brow, strengthening his Soul Sea.

Xuanming was using two minds simultaneously.

While Cultivating, he opened the first chapter of the "Thousand Mechanisms Puppetry Art," the Soul Absorption Chapter!

What he was absorbing was the soul vein!

Mysterious energy condensed around Xuanming, and his formless Divine Soul spread out.

The soul vein, which should have been most sensitive to the Divine Soul, actually failed to detect Xuanming's approaching Divine Soul. Instead, it was mesmerized by the mysterious aura around him.

Unknowingly, the soul vein drifted towards the mine tunnel where Xuanming was located. A formless spirit, seemingly formed by heaven and earth, wandered along the stone wall of Xuanming's tunnel, resembling a ghostly shadow.

Xuanming's Divine Soul acted like an experienced hunter, patiently lying in wait without disturbing the soul vein in the slightest.

It wasn't until the soul vein could no longer resist the attraction of that mysterious aura and emerged from the stone wall.

"Whoosh!"

The already spread Divine Soul immediately retracted. The soul vein struggled violently in the large net like a caught fish, darting left and right, only causing the net to slightly deform.

Xuanming formed a hand seal and retracted his Divine Soul, along with the netted soul vein.

The soul vein, a mass of pitch-black dough, slapped onto Xuanming's brow with a 'splat,' struggling even more fiercely, refusing to merge into Xuanming's Soul Sea.

Xuanming's Divine Soul was torn and scattered significantly by the soul vein's struggle.

The pain of the tearing Divine Soul turned Xuanming's Face pale, but he remained silent.

A frivolous rake was not incapable of achieving great things!

Xuanming did not know how long he had struggled with the soul vein.

If it weren't for the pre-dug soul stones replenishing his Soul Power, he would have exhausted his Divine Soul and energy long ago.

Until...

The exhausted soul vein finally conceded defeat and voluntarily entered Xuanming's Soul Sea.

"Buzz!"

The Soul Absorption Chapter automatically advanced to the next section of the Cultivation Technique.

Xuanming felt as if his previously vast but scattered and disordered Divine Soul had been completely reorganized.

The Divine Soul scattered by the soul vein seemed to be completely restored at this moment.

His Divine Soul also felt cleansed, and his entire being felt light and free.

With his Divine Soul, Xuanming could see farther and more clearly. He could even see exactly how thick the stone wall was blocking the soul stones hidden beneath the rock.

He fixed his gaze firmly on a soul stone embedded not too deeply in the mountain stone wall in front of him.

With a thought from Xuanming's Divine Sense, the soul stone in the stone wall trembled slightly. Immediately, the surrounding rock skin fell away like debris, and the soul stone 'whoosh' flew into his hand.

Weighing the soul stone, which was as large as two adult fists, Xuanming swept his Divine Soul over it, and the pure Soul Power was instantly drawn out, filling his vast and boundless Soul Sea.

Comfortable!

Xuanming exerted force, and the soul stone felt as light as a floating bubble. It was instantly crushed into powder by him, scattering throughout the dark mine tunnel.

"Too slow.", Xuanming murmured.

Immediately, his Divine Soul transformed into thousands of fine threads, reaching out towards all the soul stones in the mine tunnel protected only by shallow layers of rock.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

soul stones detached from the stone walls one after another, flying towards Xuanming. Halfway there, all the Soul Power contained within the soul stones was absorbed, and they were instantly turned into powder by a shock from Xuanming's Divine Soul.

"Refreshing, so refreshing!" Xuanming absorbed recklessly without restraint.

The originally small mine tunnel began to have rocks falling down with a 'whoosh' sound due to his actions. In a short time, the mine tunnel had expanded by more than double its original size.

Only then did his Divine Soul finally feel a sense of fullness.

The Bottleneck of Peak Golden Core was naturally broken.

Xuanming, feeling refreshed, opened his eyes. He really wanted to laugh out loud.

An Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique!

A technique that even his mother didn't possess!

His mother's Holy Demon Palace reportedly only had one copy!

Wait, his mother!

The smile on Xuanming's Face froze.

His eyes flashed wildly, and he slapped his forehead hard, "Damn it! How could I forget!"

A wave of Qi shuddered off his body, sending soul stone debris flying.

Xuanming's figure swept past like a clear breeze, instantly appearing outside the soul stone mineral vein.

Just as he was about to leave, Xuanming suddenly stopped.

He transformed into a gust of wind and appeared in an adjacent mine tunnel.

Jin Fugui, sitting in a wheelchair and gripping a giant soul stone in each hand, suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing that it was Xuanming, the vigilance in Jin Fugui's eyes receded.

Noticing Xuanming's obviously different aura, his gaze flickered, and he cupped his hands, "Brother Xuanming, congratulations."

Xuanming knew this couldn't be hidden from this clever Little Five.

"Little Five, are you alright?"

Jin Fugui nodded, "Before leaving the Secret Realm, I should be able to completely repair my Divine Soul."

"Yan Huo will likely be faster than me."

Xuanming nodded, "That's good. I need to go over there. Little Five, you guys..."

Jin Fugui understood, "Brother Xuanming, go ahead if you have something to do. I will take good care of Yan Huo, and it is very safe here. Without the Secret Realm Key, no one can enter."

Xuanming raised an eyebrow, "I'm not worried about other people..."

Li Changan, who had tried his best to minimize his presence, looked up with a crestfallen Face.

Jin Fugui was about to say that he had the ability to protect himself, as he possessed countless defensive Magical Artifacts and Talismans.

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Li Changan, who had been quietly digging soul stones in the corner, actually walk over.

Jin Fugui was full of astonishment, while Xuanming's lips curved slightly, "It's done. Now I can rest assured."

"Brother Xuanming, did you turn Changan into your Puppet?" Jin Fugui guessed what had happened.

The name of Xuanming's Cultivation Technique had not been kept secret from his sworn brothers.

"Don't worry, it's only temporary. I will retract the Puppet thread when I return, and he will be just like before.", Xuanming explained.

Jin Fugui breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he was Second Brother's clansman. If he were directly turned into a Puppet, wouldn't that be showing Second Brother no Face?

"It's only temporary, that's fine. Thank you, Brother Xuanming, for considering the safety of Yan Huo and me."

Xuanming waved his hand, "Who told you that you aren't my beloved younger brothers? It's only right for an older brother to dote on his younger brothers. I'm leaving!"

His figure vanished as he spoke.

Leaving Jin Fugui alone, feeling quite embarrassed.

A hearty laugh echoed from afar. Jin Fugui gradually calmed his mood and revealed a helpless smile.
