Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 295 - 277: Illusion Dream Stone, Jade Talisman

Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly after hearing this.

If he were in charge of the Xuanyuan Sect, he would also choose this method of handling the situation.

"However."

"In the future, we can stock up on some Soul Swinging Stones. Not only could I use them in the future, but Qing Mountain and Qingyu could also quickly cross the Divine Silence Realm with the aid of Soul Swinging Stones."

The Divine Silence Realm is the process of reinforcing the Divine Soul after slaying the Heart Demon. Only with a strong Divine Soul can one fuse with the True Yuan, step into the Fusion Realm, and then ascend to the Jiedan Realm with both spirit and qi in unison.

Similar to the Heart Movement Realm, the Divine Silence Realm also emphasizes the cultivation of one's mental state. During this process, the Divine Soul might fluctuate between strength and feebleness, requiring one to cultivate in peace or seek Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines to nourish and strengthen the Divine Soul.

This process varies from person to person, and can be long or short.

Some might slowly accumulate and endure over time, utilizing persistent effort to reach Divine Silence Perfection.

Others might be prodigies who, between heaven and earth, understand in an epiphany and greatly enhance their Divine Soul.

The last are Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines, or Spiritual Objects like Soul Swinging Stones, which directly strengthen the Divine Soul.

In the game, Lu Qingfeng initially practiced the first method—

Endurance.

Then he became proficient.

His understanding of realms far surpassed the Divine Silence Realm, so he belonged to the second type—

Frequently having insights, his Divine Soul would grow extraordinarily fast.

As for Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines, they were only used as supplementary aids.

With Lu Qingfeng's accumulation, plus the assistance of Soul Swinging Stones, he could reduce the time needed to cross the Divine Silence Realm. On the path of cultivation, racing against heaven, a slight advantage could mean the difference between longevity and being mere dust.

Naturally, he needed to make thorough preparations.

Along the way to the cave abode, he and Yan Pingshu talked about everything under the sky, mostly about the strategic situation between the Xuanyuan Sect and the White Bone Demon Sect.

The situation was at a stalemate.

Both sects had Jiedan True Men making moves, but they were restraining each other and still in the probing stage.

Mostly, it was the conflicts between disciples.

Either suppressing a region to resist enemies.

Or infiltrating enemy territory to carry out raids and sabotage.

The back-and-forth was truly lively.

The clashes between Jiedan True Men often took place at crucial locations, such as the Fire Spirit Shell Field or Soul Swinging Mountain.

"Speaking of which, near the Black Death Swamp at the southern edge of the White Bone Realm, some cultivators claim to have seen Black Death Spirit Shells with hands and feet. Many suspect that these are centuries-old Spirit Shells that have gained sentience and transformed into spirits, which can be called 'Immortal Shells.' The Spiritual Pearls they contain can also be termed Immortal Spirit Pearls."

"Once refined, even Jiedan True Men can greatly advance their cultivation level; some can even break through bottlenecks."

"Now, our sect has already dispatched people to investigate, and even Heavenly Travel Mountain has sent experts there. If there truly are Immortal Shells, it could provoke a fierce competition among the Three Sects."

Yan Pingshu introduced the situation between the two sects and various major events.

Of all the news, the emergence of 'Immortal Shells' in the Black Death Swamp was the most explosive, and even Lu Qingfeng was quite astonished.

"If there really are Immortal Shells, and we can seize Immortal Spirit Pearls, our sect might even have the chance to add another Gathering Law Realm True Man."

Yan Pingshu's tone fluctuated with some excitement.

However.

This kind of treasure contest was beyond his reach even if he advanced to the Fusion Realm. Only those at the True Man level had the qualifications to compete.

"Immortal Spirit Pearls."

Lu Qingfeng pondered.

Then he shook his head.

With his current strength, although he could contend with Jiedan True Men, he had no confidence in snatching the Immortal Spirit Pearls. Instead, he might even offend various True Men and lose his esteemed status.

Even if he obtained the Immortal Spirit Pearl, he would not benefit from it for another hundred or so years.

To ruin his hard-earned identity as the 'Fiery Fire Wanderer' for cultivation resources a hundred years from now, which would also affect his current cultivation.

That would be unwise.

Lu Qingfeng would not pursue it.

...

Upon arriving at the cave abode.

The two sat down.

Yan Pingshu looked at Lu Qingfeng with a gleam in his eyes and raised his voice, "We have talked about external affairs just now, but I have yet to congratulate Junior Brother on advancing to Fourth-rank."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Lu Qingfeng replied with a smile.

After joining the Xuanyuan Sect, Lu Qingfeng had always been steady and solid. Half a year ago, he revealed his Fourth-rank Alchemy Accomplishment.

To outsiders, this newcomer True Inheritor of the Combined Pill Hall seemed to possess remarkable talent in the way of Alchemy. He was not only highly valued by the master of the Combined Pill Hall but was also recognized among the chiefs of the main peaks and various halls.

With Lu Qingfeng's promotion to Fourth-rank, even if he never left Feiyun Island, his reputation was resounding.

Almost no one within or outside of the Xuanyuan Sect was unaware.

He was hailed as the most likely candidate in the Xuanyuan Sect to achieve Fifth-Order and inherit the position of the master of the Combined Pill Hall.

His status and reputation, compared to when he was Third-rank, had increased more than tenfold!

"Fourth-rank Alchemist at the Foundation Establishment Stage, Third-rank Artifact Refiner. Junior Brother, if you ascend to Core Formation in the future, your achievements may not be below that person of Illusion Wave Sea."

Yan Pingshu exclaimed.

There will always be young geniuses emerging in the world.

Years ago, when he heard of the Fiery Fire Wanderer from Illusion Wave Sea, a Fifth-Order Alchemist and Artifact Refiner, he thought such talent was rare. But now that he was back, he learned that his Junior Brother Lu had advanced to Fourth-rank Alchemist, and he realized that the world was full of extraordinarily talented individuals.

"The Fiery Fire Wanderer is among the 'Five Wanderers,' as famous as the early renowned four wanderers in the Three Realms, and is also a Fifth-Order Alchemy and Artifact Master."

"Lu is nowhere near comparison."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Hearing this, Yan Pingshu couldn't help but praise, "Junior Brother possesses extraordinary talent and diligence, yet is so humble, truly making Yan feel ashamed." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Senior Brother is just one step away from the Fusion Realm."

"Once you cross that step and perfect the Fusion Realm, you can start preparing to break through to the Core Formation Realm."

"Lu needs to learn more from Senior Brother."

Lu Qingfeng expressed himself.

The two exchanged glances, saw the compliments in each other's eyes, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After the pleasantries.

Yan Pingshu took a storage bag from his waist, shook it toward the ground in front of him, dozens of Jade Boxes, and countless materials fell to the ground, piled up like a small mountain, making noises.
