Before he knew it, a day had passed and Liu Wuxie was basically able to move freely on his own, except that the Soul Sea hadn't fully recovered yet, but the Tai Huang True Qi had mostly been restored.

  Stand up and get ready to leave this place to complete the third task. There is still half a month left until the end of the month, didn't expect it to be completed so smoothly.

  "Hey, where are you going?"

  Liu Wuxie woke up and headed straight into the depths of the cave to rescue those trapped, not wanting to get too close to Chen Ruoyan.

  "Go back, you and I are not people of the same world."

  Liu Wuxie was telling the truth and didn't look down on Chen Ruoyan, he would leave the Great Yan Imperial Court sooner or later and return to the immortal realm.

  "You haven't told me your name yet."

  Chen Ruoyan didn't get angry either, and followed behind Liu Wuxie's back, having long forgotten the danger of yesterday, as if nothing had happened.

  "If I tell you my name, will you stop following me?"

  Liu Wuxie stopped in his tracks, not wanting to be followed by someone all the time. He didn't dislike Chen Ruoyan, but he couldn't say he liked her either. He was used to being alone and doing things on his own.

  The third princess of the Great Yan Empire, the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital, over the years, many people have pursued her, but no one has ever dared to drive her away, and Liu Wuxie is also considered the first person.

  "Uh, just tell me your name and I won't follow you."

  After so long, Chen Ruoyan also missed home. As soon as she heard the name of Liu Wuxie, with her means, she could quickly investigate everything about Liu Wuxie.

  "Willow, you're so evil!"

  Let's get rid of the three princesses first, anyway they won't have any intersection in the future.

  "What a strange name." Chen Ruoyan remembered the name in her heart.

  Back in the Imperial City, I'll thoroughly investigate Liu Wuxie's identity. With a portrait and a name, it should be easy to look into.

  "Alright, let's go!"

  Liu Wuxie flicked his hand and his body disappeared on the spot. Chen Ruoyan didn't even notice how Liu Wuxie had vanished.

  Back in the depths of the underground, the bat-like creatures guarding the cages had all left, and the imprisoned humans stood up with a look of urgency on their faces, wanting to know what had happened.

  "You're all safe now. Once you get out of here, tell others that a blood bat has appeared in the Western Mountains, which feeds on human blood and is already dead."

  Liu Wuxie took out a black handkerchief and covered his face, unwilling to reveal his identity, lest he stir up unnecessary trouble.

  Chen Ruoyan has already instructed me on this matter, what happened here should not be leaked out.

  "Thank you so much for your timely help, we are eternally grateful!"

  More than 20 people were rescued, among whom two were still students of the Imperial Academy, and they all knelt down to kowtow to Liu Wuxie.

  Without him, these people would soon be eaten by blood bats and their bones would be gone.

  The sky was slightly bright, and the canyon returned to calm. The dozens of people who were rescued supported each other as they left the Western Cool Mountain Range, their relatives having been notified to come and greet them.

  Chen Ruoyan kept her promise and stopped following Liu Wuxie, returning to the Imperial City.

  "It's strange, for more than half a month now, there has been an unknown aura lurking around me, but who exactly is secretly following me?"

  Liu Wuxie's divine consciousness was incredibly powerful, and this aura had been present since he left the Imperial Academy. Could it be that someone from the Assassins' Guild was here?

  His breath was faint and elusive, barely perceptible, making it difficult to pinpoint his exact location. One thing was certain, however - this person was definitely a master, even if he had reached the pinnacle of the Washing Marrow Realm, Liu Wuyue would still be able to detect his tracks.

  The other party doesn't seem to have malicious intentions. If they really wanted to kill him, they should have made a move long ago. Since it's unclear, I might as well not think about it anymore.

  A deserted mountain cave, Liu Wuxie had been here for three days, recuperating from his injuries, but his body was not recovering, and the final task was impossible to complete.

  On the ground are piled up resources, all of which were scraped together from the Blood Bats, plundered for so many years, and finally made a complete success of Liu Wuxie.

  "What is this thing?"

  After spending more than half a day, all the materials were sorted out, and over a hundred crimson crystals caught Liu Wuxie's attention.

  The crimson crystal is transparent in color, with what appears to be a flow of blood inside. When sunlight shines on it, the speed of the flowing blood accelerates.

  A pure energy was placed in his palm, and it drilled into his body along his palm, which was quite strange.

  "The Blood Yuan Force cultivated by the Blood Bats should have a great relationship with this blood-colored crystal." Liu Wuxie guessed.

  At first, he suspected that it was the demon core in the body of the demon clan, but it was soon denied. The demon core in the body of the demon clan would have a strong bloody aura, and the crystals in front of him looked very pure.

  It must have been purified from somewhere, but the vampire bat is already dead and can't be asked.

  The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron suddenly moved, and the blood-colored crystal in his hand turned into a liquid that was swallowed by the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron without leaving any residue.

  Next!

  Three drops of crimson liquid floated in mid-air above the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron, emitting an extremely terrifying aura and a demonic beast's power.

  "Is it the energy extracted from the bat beast?"

  Liu Wuxie was secretly shocked, and had already guessed that these crystals were indeed extracted from the Bat Beast.

  These bats go out every day to hunt and kill living things, absorbing large amounts of fresh blood stored in their bodies, forming a small crystal piece.

  The blood bat sorts these chips together, and after post-processing and purification, they become what they are now, containing a powerful blood yuan force, which is similar to the spiritual stone on Liu Wuxie's body.

  Warriors absorb the spiritual energy in the Ling Stone to replenish the consumption of the Dan Tian, and the Blood Bat absorbs this Blood Yuan Stone to replenish the Blood Yuan Force, both have the same meaning.

  What he couldn't understand was that the Heaven Swallowing Cauldron could swallow everything, and these Blood Yuan Stones would transform into Blood Yuan Force. Would it absorb them or not?

  Upon second thought, since the Heaven Swallowing Cauldron can absorb it, there shouldn't be any harm. Without hesitation, he poured the three drops of liquid into the Tai Huang Dan Tian.

  A violent force burst forth in the Taihuang Dan Tian, like a flame that ignited the Dan Tian. The Blood Yuan Force surged into Liu Wuxie's meridians, causing his blood to boil over. Liu Wuxie felt his entire body burning with heat, as if he were sitting on top of a stove.

  Every drop of fresh blood is boiling and burning, with impurities being constantly purified.

  After being transformed by the Tian Tianding, the impurities and demonic beast aura inside the Blood Yuan Stone had been cleared out, turning into pure Blood Yuan energy.

  The benefits of Xue Yuan's power can transform Liu Wu Xie's blood, making it even more noble.

  The burning lasted for a short while, and the blood slowly calmed down. Liu Wuxie circulated his true energy and found that it was even smoother than before.

  "Although the boundary has not increased, my overall coordination ability has improved a lot."

  Liu Wuxie's face revealed a look of shock and surprise, he hadn't expected the Blood Yuan Stone to be so helpful to him. There were over a hundred more Blood Yuan Stones on the ground, all of which he picked up.

  The blood bat accumulated for decades and finally became a complete success with Liu Wuxie.

  Having absorbed more than fifty, the effect began to weaken, it should have reached its peak, unless it can break through the boundary, only then will it stop.

  Apart from Hun Hai, the true energy in Tai Huang's dan tian has basically all recovered, and he began to sort out the spiritual medicine.

  Over 10,000 spirit stones were seized from the Blood Bat's hands, over 10,000 stalks of spiritual medicine, decades of accumulated wealth, all inside this storage bag.

  "Great, there's actually a stalk of Five-Petal Spirit Medicine Qinghun Grass!"

  One by one, they were sorted out, and a five-product spiritual medicine was found, which was the rare Qinghuncao. Its main medicinal effect is to transform soul power, and repairing the soul sea is not a problem.

  Five spiritual medicines, priceless and unmarketable, were placed in the Imperial City, invaluable, and it was unknown where this blood bat came from.

  Bring out the alchemy furnace and prepare to refine the elixir. After more than half a month of continuous consumption, there are only a few elixirs left on his body.

  Time is pressing, I don't dare to delay any longer, and the last task has not been completed yet.

  Set up the dan furnace, and the terrifying flames enveloped the entire alchemy furnace. This alchemy furnace was also purchased from Danbao Pavilion.

  "It's a pity that it can't be refined in the alchemy room. The refining speed and efficacy of ordinary flames are far inferior to those of the alchemy room."

  It's also a helpless move in front of me, first refine a few pills to repair the soul sea, and then return to the Imperial Academy, borrow the alchemy room again, and refine more pills.

  The flame is insufficient and can only be made up for by hand imprinting, a few spiritual medicines are thrown into the alchemy furnace.

  "The four supreme soul-refining pills are of the highest quality, with a difficulty level of five stars. Whether or not they can be successfully refined depends entirely on this one move."

  The elixir refined by Liu Wuxie is called Zhū Hún Dān, with the assistance of Qing Hún Cǎo. The success rate of refining the elixir is very high, and as long as it is successful, the problem in his Soul Sea can be solved quickly.

  Infused with hundreds of spiritual herbs, the dense fragrance of elixir wafts through the entire cave, and upon inhaling it, my soul feels a wave of comfort.

  The elixir that repairs the soul is too rare. Generally, when the Soul Sea is injured, it can only be slowly nurtured back to health, but Liu Wuxie doesn't have time to wait.

  The longer the delay, the greater the likelihood of leaving behind sequelae.

  An hour passed, and the Qinghun grass was thrown into the alchemy furnace. The last piece of firewood was added, and both hands were sealed with imprints, countless imprints were struck into the alchemy furnace.

  With only ten days left until the end of January, Liu Wuxie must seize the time.

  Inside the dan furnace, a rolling sound was emitted, and after continuously refining for three hours, Liu Wuxie felt that he was about to collapse.

  Refining the elixir requires extremely strong soul power to support it, and his Soul Sea was originally injured. Forcibly refining the Casting Soul Elixir, his Soul Sea transmitted a cracking sound, and it could collapse at any time.

  Once the Soul Ocean collapses, Liu Wuxie will become an idiot.

  With the final handprint in place, Liu Wuxie collapsed onto the ground with a thud, his hands covering his head as he took a deep breath. The Taohuang Tianjie began to circulate, and a faint soul force filled the Soul Sea.

  "What a close call!"

  He muttered to himself that fortunately, the rift in his Soul Sea wasn't too severe; otherwise, he would be on the verge of collapse if he continued to refine it.

  After resting for nearly half a day, he finally got up and walked towards the alchemy furnace. The moment he opened the lid of the furnace, a terrifying medicinal fragrance rushed into Liu Wuxie's nostrils.

  He took out the scorching hot Soul Casting Pill, and Liu Wuxie's face was filled with excitement. This pill was crucial to whether he could continue his cultivation or not.

  The Soul Sea cannot be repaired, meaning his cultivation career has come to an end from now on.

  He swallowed the Soul Casting Pill in one gulp, and the terrifying soul power formed a massive impact like a flood, surging towards Liu Wuxie's Sea of Souls.

  "This is the power of Qinghuncao. Even if it's Master Mao, he can't refine the Zhuxiandan. Only a five-star alchemist has this qualification."

  Five-star difficulty, Liu Wuxie did it.

  Settling the mind and spirit, with the aid of the Taohuang Heaven Swallowing Art, the aura rises step by step, and the soul's power grows stronger. The cracked fissures are repaired with the Qinghun Grass, and the cracks gradually disappear.

  The soul sea is constantly expanding, with more and more golden lines floating inside, the lost soul power is slowly recovering.

  His aura once soared to the fourth peak of the Washing Spirit Realm, and after this battle, Liu Wuxie grew a lot, whether it was his realm or his cultivation.

  Experience is indeed the best way to grow, although he doesn't lack combat skills, has rich cultivation experience, and understands information about this world, it's still very necessary.

  If it were an ordinary person who came here, they would have been killed by the Blood Bat long ago.

  To avoid similar things from happening again in the future, you should get familiar with this world as soon as possible.

  After a whole day and night of repair, the Soul Sea not only fully recovered but became even stronger than before. The golden Soul Sea emitted a fierce howl, its soul power churning like clouds, rising and falling in waves.

  Divine consciousness is like a series of arrows, shooting in all directions, and can already project soul power externally.
