From a certain perspective, Chu Yurong was actually suitable to cultivate here.
This was because there was a saying that cold air came from yin energy, but it was refuted by ordinary cultivators. After all, cold meridians often existed alone. Everyone was more willing to accept another explanation, which was that Yin Qi contained cold air. Thus, this place was helpful for cultivating the [Frost Formula]. However, the Yin Qi affected many other aspects, and even subtly hindered cultivation and harmed the conjured physique.
"Looks like I have to think of a way to solve this problem.”
Chu Yurong was certain in her heart. Then, she returned to the secret chamber of the cave abode. This would be her home in the future.
Chu Yurong sat cross-legged on the stone bed and circulated her cultivation. She discovered that the cold bead in her body had condensed. After the Su family's incident, it emitted a dense cold air. It was obviously a level higher than before. Chu Yurong then began to cultivate the Cold Formula. The cold air entered her body, and the pores all over her body constricted. Her soul felt as if it was blown by a cold wind. Suddenly, a voice shouted in her mind, like,
"Qiu Sheng…Qiusheng…"
Chu Yurong flipped her hand and took out the Cloud Swallowing Bell. She threw it into the air and chanted something. The Cloud Swallowing Bell became huge…Chu Yurong stared at the Cloud Swallowing Bell quietly and listened carefully.
" It's indeed a sonic soul attack!"
Chu Yurong finally discovered the root reason why cultivators had returned to the cave abode in the past. However, this force was extremely weak. If it was not for the Yin Qi introduced by cultivating the Cold Formula, it would not have been detected at all. Other cultivators might not have noticed it, but they would definitely be inexplicably frustrated and unable to meditate when they were cultivating.
At this moment, the Cloud Swallowing Bell had a very subtle buzz. Chu Yurong made another hand seal, and the Cloud Swallowing Bell quickly became smaller and flew out of the secret chamber. Chu Yurong quickly followed and came to the pill refining room. The Cloud Devouring Bell hovered in a corner. Chu Yurong summoned her flying sword and dug fiercely at the floor tiles in the corner. After breaking through two layers, a conch was placed in an empty spot the size of a floor tile.
"Come out, don't play tricks!”Chu Yurong said warily.
Then, a wisp of black smoke flew out of the conch and condensed into a human face.
"Junior apprentice-brother, don't worry. I'm only a wisp of a soul.”
His face was amiable, but no matter what, there were always signs of ruthlessness on his face. It was probably his last appearance when he was alive.
"Since you're dead, why haven't you dissipated? I think you must have possessed someone else!"
"Junior brother has great insight. I failed to possess a senior brother and was tortured by him. Then, he sealed me in this Jaded Spirit Conch…This Jaded Spirit Conch doesn't have the ability to nurture souls. After so many years, I'm only a remnant soul with incomplete memories.”
Chu Yurong was a little angry. For such a person, she should let his soul slowly wear down and die. She planned to change his place and continue burying him.
"Junior brother, you saved me, so I will definitely repay you!”
"I have no intention of saving you.”
"Since junior apprentice-brother discovered me, it must be fate. If junior apprentice-brother agrees to one more condition, I will tell junior apprentice-brother a secret and a great opportunity!”
"What condition?" Chu Yurong felt a little disgusted.
"Junior Brother, help me unseal the seal and find a spirit nurturing item. Once my soul power recovers, find a low-level disciple to help me possess it! Giving me a new life is very simple for you, but the reward is very generous…"
But before he could finish speaking, the Cloud Swallowing Bell expanded greatly and released a huge suction force. Not only did it break the seal on the surface of the jade conch, but it also sucked the black fog of the human face into the bell. Chu Yurong took out the bone mallet and knocked on the Cloud Swallowing Bell.
"Junior Brother, please spare my life, ah? Please wait, my friend. Ah…everything can be discussed…spare my life, I'll tell you everything. Ah…stop, it's a Gold Core senior's treasure trove…ah…stop…"
In a few moments, the remnant soul was completely destroyed. Chu Yurong had no intention of saving him, and he was still unrepentant. It was better not to show mercy. As for the treasure he mentioned, he didn't know if it was true or not, but if it was left behind, it would definitely be a disaster.
However, when Chu Yurong picked up the Jade Spirit Conch, she couldn't help but feel that the Heavenly Dao was heartless. He was just pursuing to continue existing. If one day, his lifespan was about to end, could he give up the opportunity to possess and start over? What if his beloved needed to possess? Would he also be indifferent? This was a problem.
This Jade-Spirit Conch was a spiritual artifact level storage magic treasure. It was a popular storage magic treasure among the coastal cultivators that were further south than the Qiyun Sect. In terms of space, it was much larger than a storage bag of the same level. Moreover, it had a sound wave attack function, which was very effective against low-level demon beasts. It was unknown why it would appear here.
Chu Yurong returned to the secret chamber and hung the Jaded Spirit Conch on her waist. She just happened to be lacking a magic treasure to store water, so she would use it in the future. However, at this moment, her heart could not calm down.
"Is there no other way?”
Chu Yurong hoped that there were other ways to not choose between possession and not possession. According to what the remnant soul mentioned, it should be a spiritual material that could gather souls and not disperse. Then, he placed the material in the puppet's core.
"It's possible to live as a puppet, right?”
Chu Yurong thought about it. It seemed feasible, but in fact, the improvement of one's cultivation was a complicated problem. Therefore, it was far less practical than possession.
However, Chu Yurong still planned to find soul-nurturing materials first and understand the puppet. As for using the puppet body to increase his cultivation, it was more complicated and far from what he could understand now.
Now that he had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would be best to supplement his cultivation with medicinal pills in addition to spirit stones. Therefore, not only would he have to buy a batch of medicinal pills tomorrow, but he would also have to buy some sundries to repair the cave abode. More importantly, he had to find a treasure of extreme Yang to resist the Yin Qi.
Then, Chu Yurong searched for the Myriad Forms Array Formation and found a set of array formations called the Sealing Element Draining Array. Not only could it isolate Yin Qi, but it could also filter out cold air. It also required a supreme Yang magic treasure.
Early the next morning, Chu Yurong arrived outside the cave abode. The scene of a sea of fog hit her face. Seeing this, she really felt that this place was indeed strange. Then, she rushed to the main peak of the sect.
When he passed by the Pill Hall of Yunling Peak, he had planned to buy a batch of pills, but he did not expect that there were no pills that were suitable for him. Low-level pills were still fine, but among Foundation Establishment pills, because they countered fire, water pills were the most difficult to refine.
After leaving the hall, he went to the alchemy room not far away and planned to ask Liu Ji.
"Senior apprentice-brother, no…uncle-master, I didn't expect you to cultivate so quickly. You've already reached Foundation Establishment.”
"It's not that I'm fast at cultivation, it's that you're slow. If you put your heart into your techniques, you would've reached the eleventh level of spirit enhancement a long time ago. Don't call me Martial Uncle. I was lucky enough to reach Foundation Establishment. By the way, I asked you about the medicinal pills. Do you have any ideas?”Chu Yurong asked again.
"Uncle-Master, I can't do it now. If it was Spirit Enhancement pills, I could still think of a way. But for Foundation Establishment pills, I really can't do anything about it. Time is precious for alchemists. Let me put it this way, it's like I'm fighting with a Foundation Establishment senior over pills.”Liu Ji said helplessly.
