The store Yi Yun rented from Myriad Pavilion was located in a rather remote area north of Myriad City, with little human traffic. There was a tiny, clear river that ran alongside it and hanging willows on both sides of the bank that were more than a thousand years old. It was a tranquil environment.
After taking up residence, Ru'er cleaned the store and the yard thoroughly. Yi Yun set up an alchemical cauldron in one of the rooms, converting it to an alchemy lab.
They took care to place Ling Xie'er's body in the quietest room, where she slept silently.
Yi Yun refined pills mainly as a means to cultivate his soul and enhance his ability to refine pills. At the same time, he could eliminate the negative after effects of having his cultivation level rise too rapidly.
The creation of the Hollow Soul Pill required extremely precious herbs, and an extremely long period of time to refine those herbs. Yi Yun sat in front of the cauldron and held a scroll left behind by the divine alchemist. He began poring over its contents.
Without him knowing, time passed quickly until it was nearly sunset. He was quietly meditating when suddenly he opened his eyes.
His figure flashed as he rushed out the door.
"Young Master?" Ru'er was watering the plants in the yard. When she saw Yi Yun fly out of the alchemy lab like a gust of wind with a serious expression, she was immediately given a shock.
Did something happen?
She noticed that he was charging straight for a room.
The room where Ling Xie'er slept…
"Xie'er!" Yi Yun rushed into the room.
Having fused with the Heretical God Fire Seed, he could directly sense any change in Ling Xie'er’s condition.
And he just sensed that Ling Xie'er, who was still asleep, had suddenly gotten very weak!
Yi Yun came into the room. On the ice-cold bed lay Ling Xie'er's petite figure in silence. Her skin looked so delicate that a wind could rupture it. Her eyes were tightly closed.
And in her hands, she held the Soul Returning Root.
Even still, her body was becoming increasingly transparent. Even the Soul Returning Root in her hands had nearly vanished.
"What's going on?" Yi Yun turned anxious. He didn’t have what he needed to refine the Hollow Soul Pill at that point in time, but something had gone wrong with Ling Xie'er's corporeal body.
Yi Yun scanned Ling Xie'er's condition with his perception as he placed a finger on Ling Xie'er's glabella. He sent out a constant stream of Yang Yuan Qi into her body.
However, the pure Yang Yuan Qi seemed like it was emptying into the boundless sea.
From the looks of it, as a worldly spiritual object, Ling Xie'er could not be sustained solely through the Soul Returning Root and pure Yang Yuan Qi.
This was something Yi Yun had not expected at all. As he watched Ling Xie'er's corporeal body continue to weaken, Yi Yun felt as if his heart was being minced.
He had promised to save Ling Xie'er. He needed three years to completely awaken her. But at this rate, she would not last three years.
"There must be a way…Think!"
Yi Yun desperately tried to think of ideas. He knew that Ling Xie'er was in that state because her soul was too weak.
If he made Ling Xie'er consume the Soul Returning Root now, allowing all its essence to fuse into her incorporeal body, then it might be possible to tide through this catastrophe.
However, there was only one Soul Returning Root. And it was needed to refine the Hollow Soul Pill. Furthermore, without the nourishment from the Soul Returning Root, he didn’t know if Ling Xie'er could last the three years.
Yi Yun needed an herb to replace the Soul Returning Root.
Yi Yun pondered. Within the vast amount of information contained in the divine alchemist's notes, there were mentions of several soul nurturing medicines that had extraordinary effects.
However, they were mostly extremely rare or could only be refined by the divine alchemist. After eliminating such cases, the only thing left was—the Soul Restoring Relic.
Soul Restoring Relics were refined from the bones of Ancient Fey that had powerful souls. They could nourish the soul and, although they were not as heaven-defying as the Hollow Soul Pill, they were an extremely precious soul-related medicine in the world of warriors.
Yi Yun did not have any materials to refine the Soul Restoring Relic on hand. And even if he could find the materials, there was no time for him to refine it.
Yi Yun looked at Ling Xie'er and took a deep breath. His only recourse was to seek help from others.
The only person he was familiar with in Myriad City was Princess White Fox. The princess did cultivate in the soul, so it was possible that she had such medicine.
