Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Summoning Souls_1

Knowing there was still hope to revive Lin Chuxue, Su Chengyu felt slightly better. He cleaned Lin Chuxue’s body, used his mana to repair all the wounds on her corpse. However, he did not possess the materials necessary to concoct the Corpse Cultivating Pill.

Su Chengyu cast a spell on Lin Chuxue’s body, forming a barrier using his mana to preserve her corpse. Although it wouldn’t indefinitely prevent decay, it would keep her body from rotting for a year or so.

Next comes the Soul Summoning. It wasn’t a particularly sophisticated spell; it was documented in the Grand Supreme Taoist Scripture.

Su Chengyu first healed his injuries then sent his servant Xie Wanrong to the Lin Villa to inform the Lin family about Lin Chuxue’s death. There was no need to tell the Lin family about the possibility of reviving her.

It wasn’t long before the Lin family arrived at Villa No.1. Seeing Lin Chuxue’s body, Lin Zhiyuan cried out in pain, appearing genuinely heartbroken.

Lin Zhiyuan was somewhat upset, after all, she was his daughter. However, what worried him most was that her death might make it difficult to sustain the relationship between the Lin family and Su Chengyu. The rapid progress of the Lin family would also be affected.

The one who was most upset was Lin Chuxue’s brother, Lin Huanfeng. The siblings had a very close relationship. As for the rest of the Lin Family, they weren’t quite sincere. Lin Chuxue’s death hardly affected them and may even benefit them.

"Chuxue’s unexpected death is my fault for not taking good care of her. I owe the Lin Family a favor. This favor is everlasting. If the Lin Family ever encounters difficulties, I will offer my help as much as possible," Su Chengyu said to Lin Zhiyuan.

Upon hearing his words, Lin Zhiyuan’s heart leaped with joy, hastily wiping away his tears, he said, "Please make sure to give her a grand funeral, Mr. Su, and choose a prominent burial site for Chuxue."

"I’ll handle the funeral," Su Chengyu, who had seen through Lin Zhiyuan’s little plan, didn’t even need to guess.

After the Lin family had a look, they left. Liu Yan and Fang Qing subsequently came to Villa No.1. Seeing Lin Chuxue’s corpse, both showed signs of grief on their faces.

Fang Qing, in particular, was good friends with Lin Chuxue. Seeing her friend’s cold body, Fang Qing couldn’t hold back her tears.

Su Chengyu didn’t tell the others about the chance of reviving Lin Chuxue. He began the ritual at midnight.

The Soul Summoning Technique required the utilization of the Soul Summoning Talisman and the Soul Summoning Banner, which were made from Lin Chuxue’s clothes and included the drawing of a Soul Summoning array.

Once everything was prepared, Su Chengyu began the ritual in the yard of the villa. He held a Soul Summoning Talisman and muttered the Soul Summoning charm. The talisman spontaneously combusted without fire and fell into a bowl containing a strand of Lin Chuxue’s hair.

After the hair and the talisman burned, they were sprinkled onto the Soul Summoning Banner. The banner started to sway as it called for Lin Chuxue’s soul.

Upon death, the soul immediately leaves the body, drifting aimlessly between heaven and earth before gradually dispersing.

"Lin Chuxue, soul return..."

Su Chengyu recited the incantation while shaking the Soul Summoning Banner. After about an hour, a blast of cold air suddenly blew through the courtyard.

Xu Nanzhi shivered, feeling a chill shooting straight up his forehead. Lin Chuxue’s wavering soul slowly drifted into the courtyard, like a flickering candle in the wind.

"Has Chuxue’s soul returned?"

Although Xu Nanzhi was born with divinity and Divine Bone, he was still a mortal and couldn’t see Lin Chuxue’s soul.

"It’s returned."

Su Chengyu, who had seen Lin Chuxue’s soul gradually drifting towards him, immediately recited an incantation and captured her spirit. He then sealed her soul within the Heart of the Primordial Fairy Stone.

"Chuxue, take a good rest within this fairy stone. I will do my best to refine the Fusion Soul Pill as soon as possible and bring you back to life."

Su Chengyu gently stroked the Heart of the Primordial Fairy Stone as if it were a precious treasure. Seeing that Su Chengyu had successfully summoned the soul, Xu Nanzhi also heaved a sigh of relief.

Su Chengyu placed Lin Chuxue’s body in a small compartment of the pill-refining room in the basement and put another layer of barrier sealing outside of the compartment.

After settling Lin Chuxue’s body, he began refining pills again, working until dawn. He then returned to his room to take a look at Xu Nanzhi who was still asleep.

When Su Chengyu returned to his training room, Little White stretched out lazily, "I forgot to remind you that though the Heart of the Primordial Fairy Stone can nurture souls, Lin Chuxue’s is, after all, a mortal’s soul. It cannot be preserved indefinitely within the stone. Over time, it will dissipate naturally. You must hurry in refining the Fusion Soul Pill."

"But the Fusion Soul Pill is a Xuan-tier Pill. To refine it, one must at least be at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Not to mention, the ingredients needed to refine the Fusion Soul Pill are also quite rare. I know that reviving Chuxue isn’t a simple matter."

Eligibility of pills also has grades. Roughly divided into five levels named after heaven and earth - Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang. Above Tian-tier Pills are the Divine Pills.

Currently, the pills Su Chengyu is refining are all Yellow-Tier Pills. To refine the Xuan-tier Pill, one must at least be at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He was well aware of the deadlock he was facing now. whether it was refining the Fusion Soul Pill or the Nirvana Pill, these were Xuan-tier Pills. It would be impossible to refine them without reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Given his damaged Dao Heart, he absolutely dared not attempt a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If he tried to make a breakthrough in his current state, death would be all but certain. He would surely perish under the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Find your sister as soon as possible. Whether she is alive or dead, it’s important to have a result. Otherwise, your own cultivation level may remain stuck at the Ninth Layer of the Qi-refining Stage for the rest of your life. You’ll certainly die under the Heavenly Tribulation!"

Little White was fully aware of Su Chengyu’s predicament. Those who braved the Heavenly Tribulation must have a Dao Heart that’s pure and untarnished. Despite all this, even they only had less than a 50% chance of succeeding through the tribulation.

Many cultivators over time tried to confront the tribulation and ascend. However, most of them failed at the subsequent Heavenly Tribulations that occurred post-breakthrough.

Hanging his head in defeat, Su Chengyu said, "The world is so big, how am I supposed to find her?"

Currently, Su Chengyu was in a losing game. If he failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Lin Chuxue could not be revived and her soul would eventually dissipate. Similarly, Xu Nanzhi’s life would also be at stake.

Even he, himself, confronted dangers time and again. The revenge from the Black Dragon Commerce Association was looming, and the Han family of Haizhou wouldn’t leave matters at that after the death of a Second-Rank Grandmaster.

Su Chengyu once thought that after entering the cultivation world, he simply had to cultivate diligently and could enjoy a carefree life with the advantages of being a cultivator.

Turns out, ever since his enlightenment, the pressure he faced was even greater than when he was a commoner. The dangers he faced increased each time, and he was nowhere near the point of being able to relax. His burdens were becoming heavier and heavier!

"How you find her is none of my business. Anyway, I can’t help you."

After saying this, Little White jumped off the window and left the training room, going back to its blissful slumber.
