Chapter 397: Chapter 276 Two People Traveling Together

In the bedroom.

Li Yi looked at the purple elixir in his hand and immediately swallowed it without hesitation.

Nine-Turned Divine Soul Pill.

According to the description on the box, even a great family lineage would need twenty years to concoct a batch of such a precious elixir. Not only are the required materials extremely valuable, but it is also easy to fail during the process. However, if the concoction succeeds, a martial artist at the peak of the Gang Refining Realm who consumes this elixir has a high chance of breaking through to the Refining God Realm.

This is the treasured item hidden away by the great families.

Normally, four such elixirs could nurture four powerful practitioners of the Refining God Realm.

The fact that this item appears on the gift list indicates the sincerity of the four great families.

Of course, the four great families are also well aware that even if they each had one more Refining God Realm strong practitioner among them, they would still not be able to break the millennial ghostly curse. Instead, having too many Refining God Realm warriors could potentially draw the attention of the ghostly spirits, and they might be targeted and killed.

Thus, under such circumstances, having too many Refining God Realm strong practitioners within the family clans is not beneficial.

After Li Yi consumed this elixir, a surge of potent medicinal power filled his limbs and bones. Then this medicinal force converged and did not disperse, using his own Qi-Blood as nutrients, it formed an intangible energy that surged into his brain, reaching deep into his soul.

At this moment.

Li Yi felt as though his consciousness was being enveloped by a radiance, and within this light, he, holding the Treasure Seal, was sitting in meditation, resembling a Buddha descending to earth.

But under the radiance, the Buddha’s form continued to grow larger while its ethereal body rapidly solidified, seemingly gaining a flesh-and-blood body, giving a tangible sensation.

Moreover, at this moment, the cosmic energy hidden throughout his body was mobilized, continuously rushing towards his brain.

The energy converged into a powerful energy field, which, when coupled with the consciousness, seemed to cloak the Buddha figure in a halo of seven colors.

With the boost from the energy field, Li Yi felt as though his consciousness could break through the physical shackles, roaming freely in reality and the void.

"Is my soul about to leave my body?" He began to feel somewhat shocked at the thought.

If he could indeed achieve soul departure, did that mean he had become a powerful practitioner of the Soul Realm?

Clearly.

Li Yi had not become a practitioner in the Soul Realm. When the Buddha in his sea of consciousness tried to leave the body, the energy field supporting it began to collapse at an unimaginable speed, shattering; the initially bright and dazzling energy field was in fact extremely fragile.

This startled him, and he quickly retreated.

Afterwards, Li Yi had an epiphany.

The evolution of his own body was not sufficient, leading to a weak energy field, unable to protect the soul.

A true Soul Realm powerhouse could leave their body and survive in different realms.

Therefore, for Li Yi to reach the next level, there was still a long way to go, and it wasn’t going to be easy. While his soul strength was sufficient, his physical strength was not; these changes had already surpassed many Evolvers in the Spiritual Realm, as many of them hadn’t even condensed their souls yet.

However, the effect of the Nine-Turned Divine Soul Pill was still activating.

Another surge of energy washed through his body, rushing directly to the depths of his sea of consciousness.

This nourishment allowed the previously shocked soul to strengthen and solidify again.

This occurrence happened nine times in succession, though each nourishment was weaker than the last. After the final dissipation of the medicinal properties, Li Yi’s soul had been nurtured to a previously unimaginable state, his mind clearer and his spirit exceptionally good.

When he opened his eyes, the light in Li Yi’s pupils was brighter, as if two beams of light were shining out, creating a mystic appearance.

"These treasured items from the Four Seas and Eight Continents really are extraordinary. My current Cultivation Value has made a significant leap. Right now, even without testing, I can feel that my Cultivation Value has definitely surpassed one thousand percent... maybe even more."

At this moment, he performed the White Bone Temple Cultivation Skill, trying to cultivate.

After the strengthening of his soul, he absorbed the surrounding cosmic energy at a faster rate; even in places where cosmic energy was sparse, he quickly gathered a halo of light around him.

However, Li Yi did not practice for too long, he just tried a little before stopping.

Then, Li Yi took out a Life Extending Pill and swallowed it.

After consuming the Life Extending Pill, he immediately took out the Life Plate to test his lifespan; originally, on Ghost Street, he only had eighty years left, but now, as the pointer moved, the Life Plate indicated: one hundred and eighty.

"It works," Li Yi was pleased, then he relaxed.

It seems this Life Extending Pill can offset the lifespan cost of using mystical items.

However, it’s unclear how much lifespan is consumed by a single use of these mystical items, so it seems he will have to test it next time he has the chance.

After consuming another Life Extending Pill, Li Yi’s lifespan increased again, reaching two hundred and eighty years.

After that, Li Yi did not continue to increase his lifespan. He simply stored the remaining Life Extending Pills. He planned to leave a box of them for his master and the others, and the rest he took back for unforeseen needs. However, for Li Yi, the demand for lifespan wasn’t significant; he was still young and could continue to evolve and cultivate, and his lifespan would continue to increase.

The reason he needed some lifespan now was to supply the mystical items as he didn’t want to suddenly die while using them.

In the following few days, Li Yi did nothing but stay in the underground chamber of his mansion, memorizing the entire martial arts heritage of the four major families.

These books were piled up in boxes; he had no intention of taking them back, memorizing them was more convenient.

As an Evolver at the Spiritual Realm, Li Yi had excellent memory, especially after consuming the Nine-Turned Divine Soul Pill, almost reaching the point of photographic memory. In just two days, he had memorized most of the materials. The lesser important martial arts heritages, such as alchemy and medication treasure-hunting, were of no use to him, so he did not bother memorizing them.

After all, such knowledge would be useless outside the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

Even if he were to cross into other worlds later, the medicines and treasures in those worlds would definitely be completely different from those in the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

Later, Li Yi also packed a backpack full of precious elixirs and medicines to take back with him.

On the third day,

Fan Zhizhou also arrived at Li Mansion with a backpack for a visit.

Clearly, he came for the matters concerning cross-world journeys.

"Time flies so fast, has it already been three days?" Li Yi stepped out of his room and looked at the somewhat glaring sunlight, feeling slightly bewildered.

He had stayed indoors these past few days, working hard to assimilate the resources provided by the four major families.

Yet, despite this, most of the belongings had to be left behind at the mansion, as he couldn’t take them along; they would have to wait until the next visit.

"Mr. Li, when do we set off?"

Fan Zhizhou was excited, he hadn’t slept for several days, but this cross-world journey carried the responsibility and mission of his family, so it wasn’t easy.

"We leave tonight, I need to say goodbye to my master first," Li Yi said. "Please wait for me in my mansion for a while."

Afterwards, Li Yi went to Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall and took a gift with him—a box of Life Extending Pills.

However, he didn’t see his master, Zhao Ge. A few junior brothers in the hall mentioned that master Zhao Ge had gone into secluded cultivation.

Li Yi understood that his master was studying the Gang Refining Method.

Having no choice, he could only return to the mansion to find Zhao Qian and Rong Niang to delegate few matters, and asked them to convey a message to the master whenever possible.

"Are you leaving now, senior brother? Won’t you stay for a bit longer?" Both Rong Niang and Zhao Qian seemed reluctant to let him go.

Li Yi said, "I have matters to attend to after crossing to the other world this time. When I return after some time, you and Zhao Qian should focus on your cultivation. Once you have opened your nine acupoints and have become Qi Cultivation Martial Artists, I will take you to my world to see around. You’re too vulnerable now and lack the ability to protect yourselves in case of danger."

He made promises while also encouraging them.

"Big senior brother, what about me? Can I also go with you to gain some exposure?" Shou Hou popped over and eagerly asked.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Sure, keep up with your cultivation. Once your strength is sufficient, I will take you all to visit my place. Also, feel free to use the major medicinal and precious medicinal herbs from the mansion; we are all family, no need for formalities. If it’s not enough, we can ask for more from the four major families."

"Rest assured, senior brother, I and the little junior sister will definitely work hard on our cultivation. Don’t back out on your promise by then," Rong Niang smiled, immediately feeling better, and Zhao Qian’s eyes also brightened.

"Of course, I won’t," Li Yi replied.

After that, the group gathered for a meal, and by evening, he and Fan Zhizhou, each carrying their own luggage, set off.

With his previous experience, this time Li Yi knew the way well.

He and Fan Zhizhou first entered Ghost Street, then took out the Mud Horse.

"To cross worlds, you need a Mud Horse and it requires the blood of someone from our world as a guide. However, Lord Fan, you should be quite familiar with the use of Mud Horse," Li Yi dripped blood onto the Mud Horse and also helped Fan Zhizhou activate his Mud Horse.

Accompanied by the howling of a chilling wind and the neighing of a fierce horse,

Two Yin Horses appeared at a corner of Ghost Street.

Li Yi and Fan Zhizhou mounted them, and the Yin Horses dashed off instantly, speeding towards a certain direction.

As the surroundings rushed past in reverse, soon, the familiar Ghost Street began to disappear, and rows of abandoned towering buildings started coming into view.

"We are about to cross worlds," Fan Zhizhou’s eyes widened, everything felt so strange, giving him an inexplicable thrill.

Soon,

The two Yin Horses completely burst out of Ghost Street, but as they left, the cosmic energy pollution around them appeared, causing the Yin Horses to struggle to maintain their form, continuously collapsing until finally, with a mournful cry, the Yin Horses completely disintegrated, turning into a pile of mushy bones and muck.

The two immediately leaped forward and landed firmly.

At this moment, Fan Zhizhou continuously observed his surroundings, looking at the towering buildings both amazed and delighted, but feeling inexplicably cautious when seeing the ruins.

"Mr. Li, it seems this place has suffered a disaster... and it doesn’t seem like a safe place, it seems there’s some danger lurking among these ruins."

As a Family Disciple and a Qi Cultivation Martial Artist, Fan Zhizhou still possessed necessary insights.

"This is a dangerous area with traces of Fierce Beasts, Extraordinary Creatures, even mythical creatures. Here, you can’t say that being in the Qi Cultivation Realm is safe; even I might encounter accidents. We can’t stay here for long; we must enter the city to be safe. Keep any questions you have for now; we’ll talk later."

Li Yi’s eyes sparkled, after observing the surroundings for a moment and ensuring there was no danger, he immediately led Fan Zhizhou swiftly out of the danger zone.
