Chapter 263: Cultivating the Soul
Chapter 263: Cultivating the Soul
"Master, I want... one hundred spiritual medicine pills!" Han Yue's voice stuttered a bit.
"Alright... Spiritual medicine pills?... What do you want those things for?" Hearing this, Gu He was taken aback for a moment, then his gaze shifted to the small white figure standing under the big tree.
Seeing the proud expression on the latter's face, Gu He couldn't help but twitch his mouth, silently sighing in his heart, "This kid, Han Yue has just joined, and she's already been tricked by you."
At this moment, Gu He clearly knew it was instigated by Zi Yan, but since he had already promised Han Yue, Gu He naturally wouldn't go back on his word.
The next moment, Gu He took out a black box from the system space.
For the storage of spiritual medicine pills, there was no need to be as cautious as with pills, so all the pills in this black box were stacked together.
"Take it. Be a little more cautious of that little cunning fox in the future."
After reminding Han Yue, Gu He walked towards the room.
After Gu He left, Zi Yan's face was full of pride as she happily walked over to Han Yue.
"Apprentice sister, how was the harvest just now? Apprentice sister didn't deceive you, did I?" Seeing the black box in Han Yue's hand, Zi Yan's eyes were full of expectation.
"Mm!"
Han Yue nodded, then said, "By the way, apprentice sister, these are the spiritual medicine pills Master gave me." As she spoke, Han Yue handed the wooden box to Zi Yan.
As soon as she took the wooden box, Zi Yan quickly opened it, then reached in and grabbed a handful, stuffing them into her mouth and chewing vigorously.
"Can you really eat these things like this..."
Seeing this scene, Han Yue was extremely shocked.
...
On Gu He's side, after returning to the room, he quickly set up several seals in the room.
Now that he had the more powerful Nine Transformation Soul Splitting Technique, Gu He couldn't wait to create a powerful avatar. However, before he began creating the avatar, Gu He wanted to refine the Heavenly Profound Dragon Sun Birth first to strengthen his soul power a bit. With a bit more soul power, he would have more confidence in creating the avatar.
The next moment, with a thought from Gu He, a giant golden medicine cauldron appeared in front of him.
Gu He waved his hand, and a scorching purple flame entered the red cauldron.
Then, Gu He took out a golden root-like object, resembling agate, from the system space and threw it into the blazing flame.
As soon as the Heavenly Profound Dragon Sun Birth entered the cauldron, it was fiercely burned by the purple flame.
Its hard, golden agate-like outer layer immediately emitted a thin layer of golden energy to resist the burning of the purple flame.
"It's worthy of being an eighth-grade nourishing soul power spiritual medicine. It actually wants to preserve itself under these circumstances. However, it's futile in the end." Gu He chuckled lightly, then increased the intensity of the flame.
Soon, a strong fragrance, like a fine wine buried in the earth for a long time, emanated from the cauldron.
As this fragrance spread out, the golden outer layer of the Heavenly Profound Dragon Sun Birth melted into ashes, revealing the somewhat viscous golden liquid inside.
Next, Gu He's task was to extract the impurities from this golden liquid.
Enveloped by the purple flame, Gu He divided this viscous golden liquid into dozens of parts to refine separately. In no time, wisps of extremely fine white smoke rose from the cauldron.
After the white smoke completely disappeared, Gu He's soul power slowly gathered the tiny droplets together.
Finally, a solid particle, shining with dazzling golden light and about the size of a soybean, appeared in the cauldron.
Seeing this golden particle form, a hint of joy appeared on Gu He's face.
The next moment, he immediately sat cross-legged, without hesitation, and began to cultivate the Nine Transformation Soul Splitting Technique.
According to the description on the scroll, the first step in refining an avatar with the Nine Transformation Soul Splitting Technique was to start from the soul. In a very peculiar way, a portion of one's own soul would be separated to serve as the soul of the avatar. This avatar's soul was not generated out of thin air but was in line with the law of energy conservation.
Thinking of this, Gu He swiftly pressed the golden particle, just refined from the Heavenly Profound Dragon Sun Birth, into his brow.
As soon as the golden particle entered Gu He's brow, it emitted a huge energy that nourished Gu He's soul.
At the same time, Gu He quickly began to separate his soul power from his body in the strange manner described on the scroll.
In less than a day, a phantom soul resembling an embryo appeared in front of Gu He, but this infant state was not what Gu He wanted.
Gu He continued at the same speed, separating strands of soul from his body.
And the speed at which the soul power was separated matched the speed at which the golden particle replenished the soul power, so Gu He's original soul was not weakened.
However, as the size of the golden particle became smaller and smaller, the speed of replenishing soul power slowed down.
At this point, Gu He didn't care about anything else. He took out everything in the system space that could replenish soul power, even the remaining Earth Core Soul Marrow from last time.
With these supplements, Gu He continued to slowly separate his own power and integrate it into the soul.
By the tenth day, a phantom figure exactly like Gu He appeared in his room.
During these ten days, Gu He was constantly separating his soul power and quickly replenishing it.
In this continuous cycle of loss and generation, Gu He's soul strength once again underwent a qualitative improvement. Now, his soul strength had advanced from the early stage to the middle stage of the Spiritual Realm.
Looking at this soul avatar, Gu He could feel that no matter how far apart they were, they could still establish a connection, unless they were blocked by some special means.
"I finally refined the avatar! Next is the stage of refining its physical body." Gu He muttered to himself.
The process of refining the avatar described in the scroll of the Nine Transformation Soul Splitting Technique was very complex, but it was much easier to operate than refining the soul.
At this moment, sitting cross-legged on the cushion, after refining the soul avatar, Gu He didn't stop for a moment. He immediately began to work on refining the body for the soul avatar.
"It must be based on my own essence and blood. Only then can the body refined be most compatible with the soul." Reciting the contents of the scroll silently in his mind, Gu He quickly cast several mysterious seals. Immediately, a drop of grape-sized dark red essence blood flew out from the crack that suddenly opened on Gu He's brow.
