Chapter Fourteen: The Seven Stars Yang Fire Tripod

  Now that the injury was no longer serious, Qin Lingyun also let out a sigh of relief. Looking around, the strange little beast had lost its threat. Outside the stone gate, the green-haired zombie was still roaring, but it didnt dare to break in and enter the secret room, so for now she was safe.

  The water-based spiritual power has the ability to repair the body, Qin Lingyun cultivated the basic method of water-based "Kui Shui Jue", so as the spiritual power flows, it gradually repairs the hidden injuries in the meridians inside her body. This hidden injury is the cause of her current weakness, which was caused by that purple light entering the meridian.

  After slightly tidying up the unfamiliar memories in her mind, Qin Lingyun finally understood the cause and effect of things.

  The purple light was actually the primordial spirit of an old demon named Murong Henhai, who had reached the Congealing Dan stage. When the purple light entered Qin Lingyuns mind, it was actually a technique called "Duoshe" or "Soul Snatching".

  After the master loses his physical body, his primordial spirit leaves his physical body and is exposed between heaven and earth. If he doesnt find a new physical body soon, it will disperse into nothingness. And soul-snatching is a kind of magic that takes away someone elses physical body. If Murong Henhai succeeds in snatching her soul, Qin Lingyuns primordial spirit will be swallowed by him, and she will be as good as dead. The primordial spirit is the foundation of life; if it is destroyed, life will disappear.

  At that time, the situation was very dangerous. Mu Rong Hen Hais primordial spirit, which had been refined to the Cong Dan period, wanted to seize Qin Ling Yuns primordial spirit, which was only at the third layer of the Lian Qi period. It was simply easy as turning ones hand over. Fortunately, that mysterious emerald hairpin suddenly appeared and emitted a green light, shattering Mu Rong Hen Hais primordial spirit. As a result, it was unexpectedly swallowed by Qin Ling Yuns primordial spirit instead.

  The Yuanshen has three souls and seven spirits, in the process of mutual devouring, the emotional soul will dissipate on its own, and only simple memories can be inherited. Those impressions that are not deep enough will also dissipate. As a result, Murong Henhais memory was inherited by Qin Lingyun at most 30% out of 100%.

  These three things are the most important memories and also the deepest memories of Murong Chens over 300 years of cultivating his Tao, not inferior to a treasure.

  Qin Lingyun let out a sigh of relief before turning her gaze towards the strange little beast beside her.

  According to Murong Hen Hais memory, this little beast was discovered by him on a treasure hunt trip. The beast had an unusual appearance, with a pair of small wings on its body, flying very fast, and two fangs that had the ability to suck blood. Once it bit a living being, it would drain all the blood from its body. He looked through many classics but couldnt find any information about this little beasts origins, so he simply called it the Bloodsucking Lion Beast.

  The Blood Lion Beast has a natural restraint on various Yin Corpse Ghosts and the green-haired zombie outside is also a kind of Yin Corpse Ghost, which is naturally restrained by it.

  "Originally, the green-haired zombie was afraid of the blood-sucking lion beast, now its safe to leave the tomb of King Xīn." Qin Lingyun felt a surge of joy in her heart, this was good news, but immediately following from Murong Henhais memories, she got another piece of bad news, and her face darkened.

  It was originally very difficult to tame the bloodthirsty lion beast, and Murong Henhai had to use a lot of effort to subdue it. At the same time, he placed a controlling seal within its body. As a cultivator in the initial stage of forming his elixir, Murong Henhai said that this kind of seal required at least four layers of refining ones energy to control.

  Qin Lingyun only had three layers of Qi refining period, she couldnt control the seal, and naturally couldnt subdue the blood-sucking lion beast, so she couldnt leave the tomb.

  "Murong Hen Hai is already dead, yet he left behind so many troubles." Qin Lingyun said in a low voice, her heart actually had some resentment. Although its said that when people die, theyre like extinguished lamps, Murong Hen Hais attempt to possess her failed and was settled once and for all. However, he left behind the trouble of zombies and attempted to possess Qin Lingyun again. His primordial spirit being destroyed was his own doing, so Qin Lingyun naturally wouldnt have much good feeling towards him.

  Murong Hen Hai was a lone cultivator who had managed to reach the realm of forming elixirs, which was not an easy feat. Twenty years ago, he had been betrayed and poisoned by someone over a treasure, and after being pursued and nearly killed, he had escaped to the tomb of the Xinfeng King, where he hid for almost twenty years. However, the poison was extremely potent and gradually consumed his physical body, until finally his primordial spirit managed to escape and hide within the body of a bloodthirsty lion beast.

  When he first arrived at the tomb of King Xīn, he discovered three hundred-year-old corpses hidden in stone coffins. Considering that this place was often visited by grave robbers, he left the three corpses outside to guard the door.

  Years ago, when his physical body was severely rotten, Li Haoze accidentally broke in. At that time, he hid inside a stone box and struggled against the highly toxic poison, while the zombies outside happened to enter hibernation, which allowed Li Haoze to take away two treasures placed inside a stone box.

  What surprised Qin Lingyun was that the treasure for which Murong Chenhai had given his life was not the Hu Die Xiang, but rather that strange book.

  The words on the book are the common texts of the ancient cultivators, and Murong Chenhai is slightly familiar with them, so he can see that the book is a cultivation manual called "Xuantian Biyu Gong".

  However, this "Xuan Tian Bi Yu Gong" is a incomplete volume, lacking the later stages of the alchemical process, specifically from the middle stage of forming the elixir onwards. Despite being incomplete, it is still a top-level cultivation manual, rarely seen.

  But even so, as a Condensation Period old monster, the Xuantian Biyu Technique didnt have much value to him, because he already had a main cultivation technique and it was impossible for him to abandon the technique he had cultivated for hundreds of years to cultivate this unverified, incomplete technique. So why did he place such importance on this tattered scroll, thus suffering a calamity that destroyed his peak? The reason behind this, however, happened to be lost from his memories.

  But all of this has nothing to do with Qin Lingyun, what she wants most now is to leave the tomb of Xin Wang, but this wish is difficult to achieve.

  "In the secret room, there were three stone chests. One contained the Xuān Tiān Bì Yù Gōng and a fire butterfly silk fabric. The second one held Mù Róng Hèn Hǎis spiritual beast pouch. The third one had a storage pouch. When Mù Róng Hèn Hǎi was in closed-door meditation to expel poison, he placed his items separately in the three chests just in case."

  Qin Lingyuns spiritual energy circulated within his body, and the meridians had recovered a lot. His strength also barely recovered, he stood up, took out the storage bag and spirit beast bag from the stone box.

  The style of the Ling Beast Bag is similar to that of a storage bag, both are small black bags. The biggest difference is that the Ling Beast Bag can hold living creatures, while the storage bag cannot.

  The Bloodthirsty Lion Beast is still unconscious, Qin Lingyun takes advantage of its coma and puts it into the Spirit Beast Bag to prevent it from attacking her when she wakes up.

  Qin Lingyun then checked the storage bag: "I remember that the talismans and seals in the storage bag were basically used up or destroyed by Murong Henhai during his escape, but there are still some elixirs inside, which seem to be useful for me."

  There are some vague memories about the storage bag. Qin Lingyun infused spiritual energy into the storage bag, because Mu Rong Hen Hais primordial spirit was swallowed by her own, so the divine seal mark that Mu Rong Hen Hai had placed on the storage bag naturally disappeared. The reason why the divine seal mark on Li Haozes senior brothers storage bag did not disappear immediately at first was because his primordial spirit was not swallowed but dissipated naturally.

  Only the divine consciousness imprint left by the swallowed yuan Shen will naturally disappear, which is a common sense in the cultivation world.

  It was very easy for Qin Lingyun to probe into the storage bag with her divine sense, and she had a feeling of lifting heavy as light. Since she swallowed Murong Chenhais primordial spirit, her own primordial spirit has grown a lot stronger, making it much easier for her to use her divine sense.

  Inside the storage bag was a pile of miscellaneous medicinal materials, as well as the fur and bones of demonic beasts, apart from that there was only one alchemy cauldron.

  "Murong Hen Hai seems to be good at alchemy, often refining finished pills to exchange for other items in the Repairmans Market." Qin Lingyun stirred up her memories.

  In Murong Hen Hais memory, he seemed to be a high-ranking alchemist. The most memorable things were many alchemy techniques and some pill formulas. As for what the high-ranking alchemist represented and how he became one, those memories had already been lost.

  In Qin Lingyuns mind, those Dan formulas flashed by, among which three Dan formulas were suitable for Qi-refining period cultivators to take when making progress in their cultivation: the Qi-increasing Pill, the Yellow Spirit Elixir, and the Cyan Atractylis Elixir.

  With Qin Lingyuns cultivation talent, after cultivating to the third layer of Qi Refining, if she wants to further improve her cultivation, relying solely on hard work is no longer possible. The only way is to consume a large amount of elixirs and absorb their power to advance her cultivation.

  But the price of Dan medicine is very expensive, especially for high-quality refined Dan medicine, which is often priceless.

  Nowadays, various sects of cultivators and alchemy families have large-scale plantations of medicinal herbs, and they have also developed growth accelerators that can quickly ripen the herbs. As a result, medicinal materials are no longer as scarce as before. However, despite this, the price of elixirs remains extremely high due to the low success rate of refining them.

  A low-ranking alchemist who wants to refine a pill has a success rate of barely one percent, while mid-ranking and high-ranking alchemists have much higher success rates, but still no more than ten percent. This is the probability of refining ordinary pills, and the probability of refining those advanced cultivation pills is even smaller.

  "If I want to continue cultivating, I must take the elixir, but the elixirs that enhance cultivation are too expensive and require a lot of spirit stones." Qin Lingyun thought to herself: "Even if I could afford it, I couldnt go out now, let alone have many spirit stones. All I have is the two low-grade spirit stones left by Li Haoze."

  After some thought, I want to cultivate to the fourth layer of Lianqi in the secret room, and there is only one way to gamble on alchemy.

  Qin Lingyun infused spiritual energy, a fiery red light flashed by, and the pill furnace inside the storage bag rapidly enlarged and fell steadily to the ground.

  This alchemy tripod is half a person high, with two ears and three feet. The lid on top has three small holes, and there is an air inlet on the side. The fire-red body of the tripod is cast with many intricate floral patterns.

  In Murong Chenhais memory, this alchemy furnace was called the Seven Star Yang Fire Furnace. It was actually a magical treasure of a very high grade, a top-grade spiritual instrument and also his most frequently used alchemy tool. Now it had been cheaply sold to Qin Lingyun.

  There is a set of opening hand gestures for refining elixirs with the Seven Stars Yang Fire Tripod. Before refining the elixir, Qin Lingyun must be familiar with the gestures and also master every step of the refining process. Remembering it in her mind was one thing, but actually doing it was another matter altogether.
