Chapter 67: Nine Tripod Spirit Liquid

  After a long while, Hun Dun Lao finally calmed down from his excitement, and his originally excited expression turned into one that had experienced many hardships. He said with emotion: "Do you know what's in this teapot? This is the Nine Tripod Spirit Liquid!"

  "Jiǔ Dǐng Líng Yè, what is it, and what are its effects?" Upon hearing this name, Ye Xuan's eyes lit up.

  Hun Dun glared at him with a look of disdain, thinking to himself, "This little fox, you can't catch his eye."

  "A long time ago, a mysterious cauldron appeared on the Jiu Xuan continent. The people of the continent called it: Jiu You Ding. Because this Jiu You Ding was mysterious and unpredictable, legend had it that it could refine divine pills, and when refining divine pills, some residue would be left behind. This residue is precisely the Nine Cauldron Spirit Liquid!"

  Ye Xuan had already heard of the mysterious Ding twice, first from Kong Dashi and now from Hun Dun Lao. The nine tripod spiritual liquid was a byproduct of the Nine You Tripod's alchemy process. Ye Xuan asked: "What effect does this have? Why are you so happy?"

  "These nine tripod spiritual liquids can have a huge impact on the soul!"

  Hun Dun Lao said this when he glanced at Ye Xuan, the implication being that you might as well give up, you're too weak.

  "When cultivation reaches the second realm of reincarnation, one can cultivate a soul body, and the soul body has a new power called divine soul. The perception of divine soul plays a huge role in battle, just like I sensed danger last time in Jiuying Mountains, this is a special ability belonging to the second realm of reincarnation."

  Hun Dun Lao seemed to recall something as he spoke, but then furrowed his brow and shook his head, continuing: "The power of the divine soul is most important because it can nourish the spiritual body. When the spiritual body transforms from virtual to real, it can leave the Heart of the Soul and become another self. It's equivalent to a second life!"

  "My god, so you're saying that in your past life, you were also a powerful being of the Second Realm of Reincarnation? That's too freaky! I never would have thought." Ye Xuan said with a smack of his lips, but in his heart, he was shocked. He didn't expect that even a powerful being like the Second Realm of Reincarnation could be killed.

  "You're currently a soul body, why can't your soul body leave the Heart of Souls now?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.

  "My soul body is now illusory and has been seriously injured. Leaving the Soul Heart, I can't withstand the pressure of this world at all. Once I go out, I'm afraid I'll disappear into thin air!" The Chaos Old said with a hint of sadness. He was eager to leave the Soul Heart because he had lost his memory. He wanted to find the person who killed him and retrieve his memories.

  Ye Xuan nodded thoughtfully, not expecting that this world really had a spiritual body. He wondered what principle he had used to cross over from Earth, or if there was another reason. He shook his head to himself and asked again: "Is this pot of Jiu Ding Ling Ye enough for your spiritual body to transform from virtual to real?"

  "Hun Dun Lao's face was filled with excitement as he said, 'Enough, absolutely enough! You should know that this Jiu Ding Ling Ye is a treasure that strong practitioners would fight over outside. Don't ever leak it out! And now that my divine soul has become stronger, I can let the Soul Heart contain external objects. From now on, you can store any treasures in my Soul Heart, it's much safer than putting them in your Qian Kun Bag.'"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's face lit up with joy, and he continued to ask: "Then when did your divine soul become powerful, and how long will it take for your spiritual body to materialize?"

  "I was killed by someone, my soul is too weak to materialize now, but after opening the Heart of Soul and accommodating external objects for three to five days, I can complete it!" The Old Chaos said proudly.

  Ye Xuan looked again at the painting hanging on the wall, an old man in a white robe stood like a god on the cloud, with his hands behind his back, above the starry sky, a crescent moon, the old man's eyes were deep and profound, as if he had contained the universe and seen through the vastness of the sky.

  "Is this painting a treasure? Is the old man in the painting the master of this cave, Mirror Moon?" Ye Xuan furrowed his brow in thought.

  "This is just an ordinary painting. I don't know who this old man is, but he actually has a pot of Nine Tripod Spirit Liquid! Is he the one who got the legendary Divine Elixir, or did he get the Nine Underworld Cauldron?" The Old Man of Chaos said, startling himself with his own thoughts. The Nine Underworld Cauldron, that's a divine artifact, who can get it? It must take great ability."

  "I've taken Senior's tea, and also helped me break through to the second-tier artifact refinement. This is also a way of repaying Senior's kindness. I'll keep this painting for Senior as well." Ye Xuan said, then walked up to the painting, bowed slightly, took it down, and stored it in his Qiankun bag.

  Ye Xuan suddenly thought of the Ye family in Xihuo City, the declining Ye family, all because of a Nan Gong family. He remembered Liu Yizhu, Dongfang Yan, Ye Yun, and recalled the bits and pieces of Ye Zhenwu and Nan Gong Qi's interactions with him.

  "Hurry up, Old Chaos, give me the secret technique to unblock the Spiritual Pulse! I need to recover my strength," Ye Xuan said urgently.

  "Haha, I knew you were impatient! I'll recite the secret technique to you, remember it well!" The Old Man of Primordial Chaos smiled cruelly.

  ……

  A burst of orange light suddenly illuminated the small room, and after the bright light, a black-clad youth with a clear face revealed an ecstatic expression. Ye Xuan finally opened up his spiritual pulse, and it was a full twenty lines. He felt the surging of the mysterious energy within the Mystic Door, as if he had been submerged for a long time and wanted to go out into the outside world to take a look.

  Mahayana Heavenly Incineration Technique, Ye Xuan's first Xuanmen Heart Method, was once again activated by Ye Xuan. The mysterious energy quickly filled his entire body, and the originally slightly fatigued Ye Xuan now felt his limbs filling with power once more.

  A Xuan Dan was taken by Ye Xuan, a large amount of Xuan Qi was quickly absorbed by the spiritual pulse, this speed was several times faster than ordinary meridians. In a moment, the two black Xuan Men with cracks actually trembled. This long-lost feeling made Ye Xuan overjoyed.

  "Haha, I'm going to break through!" Ye Xuan suddenly shouted while absorbing the mysterious energy.

  The old man of the Heart of Soul was shocked to see him, this kid is too abnormal, absorbing the mysterious energy and shouting loudly, not afraid of a single breath being stuck in his throat. At this time, Ye Xuan shouted even more vigorously, and he even danced with joy.

  Next, you'd better behave yourself, or else you'll be possessed by evil spirits in a moment! The Chaotic Old Man gazed at him with disdain.

  After a violent tremor, the black mysterious gate finally stopped, and three delicate cracks flashed out. Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan had just recovered and broke through to the third heavy star mysterious realm.

  "Hun Lao, I've broken through to the third layer of the Xingxuan Realm!"

  Hun Dun Lao looked at him disdainfully, his eyes wide with surprise. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "How did I become Hun Lao?"

  "It's just a nickname for Lao Tzu!" Ye Xuan said with a sly expression, but in his heart he was thinking that it was actually an abbreviation for "old idiot".

  "How long has it taken me to open up this spiritual vein?"

  Ye Xuan had long forgotten about the time when he was opening up, now that he thought back to the situation, he didn't know what had happened to Kong Daoshi and Fu Long after he fell into this small hut.

  "It's been half a month already!"

  "What? What? Half a month, how come it's been so long!" Ye Xuan was shocked and didn't realize he had been in seclusion for half a month.
