Chapter 49-Reverse Absorption
Ye Kong then went to check the Spirit Qi in his Sea of Qi, and found that it was indeed true. Not only had his own Spirit Qi returned, but there was also an endless stream of Spirit Qi following him. There was an 80% chance that this was Ancestor Yellow Spring's Spirit Qi. Hehe, he was only at the second layer of the Aura Refining realm. If he absorbed the Spirit Qi of a Nascent Soul cultivator, how many levels would he jump?
Haha, a blessing in disguise! Ye Kong laughed." Old Ancestor Yellow Spring, you're heartless, and I'm also heartless. You sucked me dry just now, and now it's my turn. Don't worry, I won't leave you a single drop!"”
" Do you want to die?" Old Ancestor Yellow Spring asked anxiously. Whether or not none of us can live! How can a 2nd level Qi Condensation cultivator like you absorb all of my Original Infant Stage spiritual energy?”
Ye Kong was shocked, and he nodded." You're right, haha. I've changed my mind. I'll stop and take my time. Haha, thanks, Patriarch."”
Old Ancestor Yellow Spring hated himself for reminding Ye Kong. But then again, if he hadn't reminded him, Ye Kong would have died, and so would he. His Nascent Soul was trapped, and he couldn't escape. Once Ye Kong's physical body was destroyed, his Nascent Soul would be destroyed as well.
"Alright, alright. Brother Ye, I lost half of my Nascent Soul cultivation when I stored it in the magic tool, and I used up another eighty to ninety percent of it during my hundred thousand years of slumber. However, this is enough for you to advance to Foundation Establishment.”
Ye Kong was overjoyed to hear that he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage. He was now in the second layer of the Aura Refining realm, and he had jumped eight levels in one go to the Foundation Establishment stage. The temptation was not small.
However, Ye Kong wasn't stupid. Old Ancestor Yellow Spring wouldn't be so kind as to tell him this. He asked," Do you have any conditions?"”
No matter how powerful Old Ancestor Yellow Spring was, he could only smile charmingly and fawn over him." Fellow Daoist, you can't absorb all the energy in one go. However, if my Nascent Soul doesn't return to the small sword for a long time, the Spiritual Qi will disappear, and no one will be able to get it. I think…since this is a misunderstanding, why don't you put me back into the small sword? In this way, the Spiritual Qi will be preserved, and you can absorb it at any time. As for me, I don't have to stay in your head anymore.”
After listening for a long time, Ye Kong finally understood. So this old man wanted him to put him back into the small sword magical treasure.
"Old Ancestor Yellow Spring, I think I heard someone swear to never return the small sword.”Ye Kong sneered.
Old Ancestor Yellow Spring's expression changed, and he chuckled." Did I swear? Haha, you believe that? I swear it's like farting."
"Haha." Ye Kong laughed loudly." Old dog Netherworld, do you think I'm stupid? If I let you go back, I'll suck your energy again and kill you! Besides, I can't sleep well with a guy who's much stronger than me by my side.”
"Then let me teach you another method. You can cast a spell to make the nascent soul in your aperture unable to control the spiritual energy. This way, I won't be able to deal with you.”
Ye Kong moved." Tell me."”
Two hours later, Ye Kong had completely mastered this spell known as the " Infant Setting Spell."
Old Ancestor Yellow Spring smiled and said," Then can you let me go?”
"But I'm still worried."
" You're shameless!" Old Ancestor Yellow Spring roared in embarrassment. If you don't let me go back, why did you learn my spells? Despicable, too despicable. Are you going to watch so much spiritual energy disappear? That's enough for you to build your foundation!"
Ye Kong laughed out loud." You're in such a hurry to go back. Are you really doing this for my own good? Since you want me to absorb all the spiritual energy, why are you still so concerned? Anyone would be tempted by a huge pie, but I know that I would rather eat less than lose my life!”
Old Ancestor Yellow Spring was completely helpless. Ignoring Ye Kong, he sat alone in the golden pillar of light and began to meditate.
In fact, Ye Kong was also in a difficult position. He couldn't wait to get rid of this old man. Whether Old Ancestor Yellow Spring was in the small sword or in his head, he was in grave danger.
However, his current strength was limited. Other than the Encyclopedia of Talismans, which could trap Old Ancestor Yellow Spring, it was almost impossible to kill him. This was also why Old Ancestor Yellow Spring was not worried about himself at all. It would be too difficult for Ye Kong to kill him.
He had no choice but to let him stay in his head for now. Fortunately, the Nascent Soul was only a soul. It did not eat or drink, nor could it shit or pee. Otherwise, it would be really disgusting.
Ye Kong pulled his consciousness away from his spiritual altar and focused on absorbing the spiritual energy in the small sword. This Nascent Soul cultivator was indeed full of spiritual energy, but after losing most of it, Ye Kong was left with only a fraction of it.
The Sea of Qi had a capacity. Every time one broke through a level or realm, the Sea of Qi would increase in size. If it had been anyone else, the amount of Spirit Qi they had absorbed would have been far less than this. Fortunately, the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture that Ye Kong cultivated was known for its large amount of Spirit Qi. It had actually absorbed half of the Spirit Qi left behind by Old Ancestor Yellow Spring, which was why it had grown so much that it was simply too much.
There was still half of the spiritual energy left, and Ye Kong couldn't absorb any of it. His Sea of Qi had already been overstocked, and it was swelling up. Even his limbs and bones were filled with spiritual energy, and it was difficult for him to circulate it.
Ye Kong was prepared to waste the remaining half. There was no other way. Wasting it was better than leaving it for the enemy.
The problem now was to refine it. The so-called refining was to refine and purify, remove impurities, and use them for oneself.
The cultivation materials needed to be refined to increase their purity and remove impurities. The purpose of refining magic treasures and magic tools was to erase the divine sense left behind by the previous user so that he could use it more effectively.
Similarly, the spiritual energy absorbed from others also needed to be refined. It was also to filter the remaining spiritual sense of the other party in the spiritual energy.
For example, if you buy old clothes, you have to wash them before wearing them. The spiritual energy also has to be washed.
Although this refinement process wasn't something that could be completed in just two or three days, it was still countless times faster than Ye Kong absorbing Spirit Qi from the air himself.
Ye Kong estimated that if he were to refine all of this spiritual energy, it would take him a year.
It might seem like a long time, but when one thought about it, he would at least reach the fifth level of the Aura Refining realm. If Ye Kong were to slowly cultivate by himself, he would definitely not reach the fifth level of the Aura Refining realm in five years.
Ye Kong opened his eyes and looked at the small sword in his hand. He shook his head regretfully, then put it back into his storage bag. There was no way he could absorb the spiritual energy inside. By the time he spent a year refining the spiritual energy in his body, the spiritual energy in the small sword would have long disappeared.
But when he put the small sword inside, Ye Kong suddenly noticed that there was something else in his bag of holding.
A spirit stone that had used up all its spiritual energy! Immortal cultivators 'bags were full of treasures. Even when they were used up, they were reluctant to throw them away. Even the spirit stones that had their spiritual energy sucked dry were treasured by Fan Nine Snake. There were as many as thirty-eight of these translucent white crystals.
"Can we put the remaining spiritual energy into the waste spirit stone first? This was originally a container for spiritual energy, so the spirit should not be lost so easily in it.”
Ye Kong was excited by this idea, and he quickly took out a Spirit Stone and infused it with the unrefined Spirit Qi. He gave it a try, and it really worked!
However, it was a pity that the capacity of this spirit stone was really very small. The spiritual energy in a spirit stone was valued for its purity. Quality was the key, not quantity.
"Let's talk about having something better than nothing." Ye Kong filled up the thirty-eight Spirit Stones and then went to absorb the energy from the small sword magic tool again. There was still half, half, and a quarter left. He couldn't think of a way to do it, so it would be a waste.
"Go ahead and practice! Sooner or later, I'll smash your golden light and take your body. Haha, you're training for me!”Old Ancestor Yellow Spring's laughter echoed in the depths of his mind.
"Really?" Ye Kong laughed coldly." You didn't succeed in taking my house, so you can only go back to your original house. And right now, the little sword is your original house. If I destroy this small sword and chase you out of my spiritual altar…"
"Then I won't die!" Old Ancestor Yellow Spring roared.
"But you became a wandering ghost. Haha, I heard that many Xiumoists like the Soul Refining Banner. I think they'll be happy to die with a Yuanying soul!”
Before Ye Kong could finish, he heard Old Ancestor Yellow Spring roar," How dare you! You, you, you! You're too inhumane! He's too ruthless!" Then, he changed to a pleading tone and said," Fellow Daoist, it's actually very useful for you to keep me. You're just a newbie Immortal Cultivator and don't know many things. If you fumble around on your own, it'll take time and effort. If you have my help, you can get twice the result with half the effort.”
Ye Kong thought about it and agreed. Since he couldn't chase them away or kill Old Ancestor Yellow Spring, why not make use of them?
"Alright then." Ye Kong replied," If you really want to help me, I'll definitely find you a cultivator with excellent spiritual roots for you to possess in the future. But if you try to come up with any funny ideas…I'll drag you down with me even if I have to die!”
Old Ancestor Yellow Spring hurriedly replied," Don't worry, I won't, I swear…"
"Swearing is like farting."
Old Ancestor Yellow Spring smiled embarrassedly." Anyway, I won't. Let's live in peace and love each other.”
Although Ye Kong was very reluctant to have two people in his head, that was the best he could do for now. He could only hope for the best. There were many things that he wasn't clear about, and it would be good if someone asked him about them.
"Ancestor, let me ask you. How did you get into the magic tool? Could all Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators live for 100,000 years? Also, where is the nearest market?”
Ye Kong asked for a long time, but he didn't get a response. He sent his Divine Sense back into his Spiritual Altar, only to find that Old Ancestor Yellow Spring was already asleep.
"Damn it, he wakes up during a fight and goes to sleep after expecting him to help answer a few questions. What a lazy donkey!”Ye Kong laughed again after scolding himself.
"Today, it's really a blessing in disguise. If I refine his spiritual energy, I'll be able to drive my flying sword very soon. Then, I'll be able to travel the martial world. Haha, hurry up and refine his spiritual energy!”
This time, he didn't meditate for long. The next morning, he woke up on his own.
"Mother, I'm going to start closed-door cultivation soon. I want to come out for one day every five days.”Ye Kong hadn't yet reached the state of fasting, so eating once every five days was just right.
"Oh, okay. You have to be careful too. Don't starve. Don't work too hard when you cultivate. Mother will prepare some clothes and dry food for you. If you're hungry, eat a steamed bun. Also..."
"No need, I'm ready." Ye Kong quickly interrupted her endless nagging and said," Mother, what you need to do is to not let anyone come into my room to harass me. If you can push those maids away, then do so. The fact that I'm a cultivator must be kept a secret, or your son will be in danger, understand?”
Ye Kong deliberately made it sound scary, so that his mother would take it seriously. Chen Jiuniang smiled." I know. You're even more naggy than me."”
The mother and son were having breakfast when a girl's voice sounded from outside." Aunt Chen."”，"Master." " You guys are early. Haha, I wonder if I'll be able to meet the Eighth Young Master…"
"Again." Ye Kong grabbed the steamed bun and ran back to his room as if he was escaping.
