603: Lu Xueqi (80)

Bi Yao explained, "It is said that its fruit contains pure Soul Source power, which is extremely effective for nourishing and repairing the Divine Soul! It can even help one condense Divine Sense and improve its quality!

For our situation where our Divine Souls are damaged, it is simply a heaven-sent cure!"

Upon hearing this, a gleam flashed in Lu Xueqi's beautiful eyes.

She had previously forced the activation of the Divine Sword Lightning Leading True Skill, and the backlash on her Divine Soul was the most severe.

Su Han was also deeply moved. His Divine Soul was also quite damaged from forcefully activating the reincarnation mirror.

However, such a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth must have guardians nearby.

He immediately spread out his Divine Sense, carefully searching the entire cavern.

The cavern was not large; besides this spiritual pool and this spiritual plant, there seemed to be nothing else.

But under the rock wall near the inner side of the spiritual pool, Su Han discovered a skeleton sitting cross-legged.

The skeleton had endured countless years; the clothes on its body had long since turned to dust, but the bones remained as crystalline as jade, emitting a faint pressure.

In front of the skeleton, several lines of ancient characters were carved into the ground.

Su Han walked closer and looked intently.

The calligraphy was vigorous and ancient, conveying a sense of unwillingness and regret.

"I am the Loose Cultivator Yun Ya Zi. I mistakenly entered this Secret Realm in the Burial God Mountain Range, was pursued by a powerful enemy, and fled here heavily wounded. I encountered the nine-leaf spirit nourishing herb, but its fruit had not yet ripened. My injuries were too severe to heal, and my life was nearing its end.

I hereby leave behind the Legacy, the Spirit Nourishing Art, for someone destined. If a later comer obtains it, I hope you will use this technique well and not tarnish my name.

A simple illusion formation is set up outside the cave, which can stop low-level Yao Beasts, but it is futile against powerful beings.

Take care."

The inscription ended here.

Next to the finger bone of the skeleton lay an ancient Jade Slip.

It seemed this was the Legacy of the Spirit Nourishing Art.

Su Han felt emotional. This Senior named Yun Ya Zi seemed to have been an exceptionally talented person, but fate played tricks on him, and he finally sat down and perished here.

He bowed respectfully to the skeleton: "Senior Yun Ya Zi, this Junior is Su Han. I have mistakenly entered the place where you passed away today. If I obtain your Legacy, I will surely not let down your trust."

After speaking, he carefully picked up the Jade Slip.

His Divine Sense probed into it, and a stream of information flowed into his mind.

It was indeed a Divine Soul Cultivation Technique called the Spirit Nourishing Art, profound and mysterious, far surpassing any Spirit Refining Art he had encountered before.

It contained not only methods to nourish and strengthen the Divine Soul but also several secret techniques for using Divine Sense for attack and defense!

Its value was immeasurable!

Su Han suppressed the joy in his heart, put away the Jade Slip, as now was not the time to examine it closely.

His gaze turned again to the nine-leaf spirit nourishing herb.

The fruit at the top was already crystal clear and plump, its fragrance rich, clearly having matured.

"It seems our luck is not bad," Su Han said to the two women, "The fruit of the Spirit Nourishing Herb can just treat our Divine Soul injuries."

He walked to the edge of the pool and carefully plucked the fruit.

The fruit felt warm in his hand, and the fragrance was even more intoxicating.

Su Han divided the fruit into three portions, keeping a slightly smaller one for himself, and handed the two larger portions to Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao.

"Your Divine Soul damage is more severe; quickly consume them to refine them."

Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao looked at him and did not immediately reach out.

"Su Han, you..." Lu Xueqi hesitated.

"Stop that pretense, stop acting generous," Bi Yao, however, rolled her eyes at him and directly took the smaller portion. "If you hadn't risked your life this time, we would all have perished in the Black Witch Village. Your Divine Soul damage is definitely no lighter than ours, perhaps even heavier! We should just share this spiritual fruit equally."

As she spoke, she broke off a small piece from her larger portion and pressed it into Su Han's hand.

Lu Xueqi also silently divided a portion of her fruit and handed it to Su Han.

Su Han looked at the determined expressions of the two women, a warmth surged in his heart, and he no longer refused.

"Good, then let's consume the spiritual fruit as soon as possible and heal our injuries here. There is an illusion formation set up by the Senior outside, so it should be safe for now."

The three of them consumed the fruit of the nine-leaf spirit nourishing herb.

The fruit dissolved upon entering the mouth, turning into a warm and vast current that rushed straight to the Sea of Consciousness.

Su Han immediately circulated the method of the Spirit Nourishing Art he had just obtained, guiding this pure Soul Source power to nourish and repair his damaged Divine Soul.

The tearing sensation and dizziness caused by forcefully activating the reincarnation mirror were quickly alleviated under the nourishment of this power.

The Divine Soul, like dry land receiving sweet rain, was not only recovering rapidly but even the strength and range of his Divine Sense were steadily increasing!

Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao also circulated their Cultivation Techniques, absorbing the medicinal power.

Lu Xueqi's complexion visibly regained color, and the stinging pain from the Divine Soul backlash gradually disappeared.

Bi Yao's Divine Sense also became more refined, allowing her to control her Gu insects with greater ease.

The medicinal efficacy of this nine-leaf spirit nourishing herb was truly miraculous!

Time flew by in deep meditation.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Han was the first to awaken.

He only felt refreshed; his previous Divine Soul trauma had already healed, and the strength of his Divine Sense had even increased by more than thirty percent compared to his peak!

He looked inward at his Dantian; the cracks on his Golden Core had also repaired significantly under the nourishment of the dense Spiritual Qi, and his cultivation was subtly advancing.

He looked beside him.

Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao were still in meditation, surrounded by Spiritual Qi, their breathing steady and long, clearly having gained immense benefits.

Su Han did not disturb them. Instead, he walked to the skeleton, bowed respectfully once more, then dug a pit nearby and carefully interred the remains of Senior Yun Ya Zi, erecting a simple grave mound.

After completing this, he walked to the vicinity of the cave entrance to observe the situation outside.

The illusion formation was still operating. Looking outward from within, the cave entrance was blocked by a faint, water-ripple-like light screen, and the scene outside was somewhat distorted.

Those Purple Lightning Leopards had long since vanished. The forest had returned to silence, with only occasional roars indicating the danger of the place.

Su Han returned to the cave, took out the Jade Slip containing the Spirit Nourishing Art, and began to study it again.

This Divine Soul technique was of great significance to him.

His Chaos Reincarnation Scripture encompassed everything, but in terms of specific techniques for Divine Soul application, it was not as specialized as the Spirit Nourishing Art.

If he could integrate its essence into his own system, his strength would be greatly enhanced.

Especially one secret technique called "Divine Thorn," which could highly condense Divine Sense for invisible attacks, making it impossible to guard against—a true trump card.

Just as Su Han was immersed in his cultivation, the reincarnation mirror on his chest trembled again with an extremely faint vibration.

This time, it was slightly clearer than before.

Moreover, the direction of the vibration seemed to point toward the deeper part of the cavern.

Su Han's heart stirred.

Does this cavern perhaps hold another hidden world?

He stood up, holding his long sword, and cautiously walked toward the deeper, darker area of the cavern.
