Chapter 665
by fanqienovelChapter 665: Pure Yang Pearl
Wang Chen’s predecessor had succumbed to demonic madness.
Cultivators who refine techniques, engage in body cultivation, and cultivate their souls may give rise to inner demons, which can be invaded by external evils, leading to a loss of sanity.
This is known as falling into madness.
Those who fall into madness either perish in their insanity or reverse their techniques to become true demon cultivators.
The cultivator who previously presided over the Safe House had unfortunately succumbed to madness, rushing headlong towards the Evil Eye, where his soul was obliterated by the negative energy!
The Giant Magical Spirit had witnessed this event, which is why it could provide Wang Chen with an answer.
Wang Chen tentatively accepted this explanation.
In truth, he wasn’t seeking a definitive answer, but the Giant Magical Spirit’s account was clearly incomplete and somewhat misleading.
Wang Chen had a rough understanding of the situation, yet he maintained a calm demeanor: "I see. From now on, I will be stationed here regularly. As long as you don’t interfere, we can coexist peacefully."
The Giant Magical Spirit gave Wang Chen an odd sensation, appearing both real and illusory, elusive, and subtly menacing.
Although Wang Chen wielded the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil, he wasn’t entirely confident in his ability to subdue the spirit.
This was why he chose to engage with it diplomatically.
Additionally, the fact that this spirit had developed Intelligence and could communicate normally piqued Wang Chen’s curiosity and desire to investigate further.
Thus, he was reluctant to provoke a confrontation.
The Giant Magical Spirit shook its head and spoke in a deep, resonant voice, "Very well, I shall take my leave."
With that, it turned and swiftly disappeared from Wang Chen’s view.
It departed with remarkable decisiveness!
Wang Chen watched as the spirit vanished into the distance, his eyes reflecting deep contemplation.
He had slain countless evil spirits, but encountering such a unique being was rare. He realized that his knowledge of magical spirits and evil spirits was still quite limited.
This Giant Magical Spirit was undoubtedly more complex than it appeared.
His instincts told him that their paths would cross again in the future!
And when that time came, it would likely be far more complicated.
After driving away the Giant Magical Spirit, Wang Chen began to patrol the area that had been affected by the sinister wind.
He was not disappointed.
Numerous evil spirits that he had not encountered before emerged, surrounding Wang Chen and attempting to consume his flesh and soul.
However, these foolish magical spirits and evil spirits all fell prey to the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil!
Wang Chen noticed that as the number of evil spirits vanquished by the Exorcising Net increased, the treasure seemed to undergo a transformation, its destructive power growing even more formidable.
He found it increasingly easier to control!
The evil spirits in the Northern Evil Eye area were truly unfortunate to have crossed paths with Wang Chen, as they were swept up in droves, much like harvesting spirit rice in the spirit fields repeatedly.
When Wang Chen completed his patrol and returned, the amount of spiritual energy stored in the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil had increased by three times!
Moreover, Wang Chen had collected a batch of Pure Evil Energy Pearls!
It turns out that the probability of Evil Energy Pearls dropping after defeating Evil Spirits within the influence range of the Evil Eye is quite high.
The closer one gets to the center of the Evil Eye, the purer the Evil Energy Pearls that are produced from the defeated Evil Spirits!
“Little Cauldron!”
Upon returning to the Safe House, Wang Chen, disregarding the usual decorum of a cultivator, immediately summoned the Life Creation Cauldron and called upon the cauldron spirit.
He called out three times before the Little Cauldron, rubbing its eyes and yawning, poked its head out: “Master, what do you need from Little Cauldron?”
Wang Chen flicked his finger, sending a breeze that hit its forehead: “Still not awake? Get to work!”
“Ouch!”
The Little Cauldron exaggeratedly covered its head, complaining, “It’s not that Little Cauldron wants to sleep; it’s just that it hasn’t eaten or drunk anything, so it can only hibernate…”
It made it sound as though Wang Chen was mistreating it!
“Enough.”
Wang Chen impatiently tossed a storage bag: “This time, I’ll let you eat your fill!”
“Wow!”
The Little Cauldron took the storage bag, opened it, and instantly revealed a look of delight: “So many Evil Energy Pearls!”
This storage bag contained all the Evil Energy Pearls Wang Chen had obtained by exterminating Evil Spirits, including some Pure Evil Energy Pearls.
The Pure Evil Energy Pearls were naturally used to refine Nine-turn Pure Yang Pearls, while the regular Evil Energy Pearls could be used as auxiliary materials during the refining process to enhance efficiency.
Of course, the Little Cauldron would also take a portion for its own Resources!
After assigning the task to the Little Cauldron, Wang Chen went to the quiet room to begin practicing the Preheaven Five Element Technique.
He had already passed the halfway point of the seventh level of the Purple Palace, and since he did not know how long he would have to stay here, he naturally couldn’t afford to neglect his cultivation.
Moreover, deep within Wang Chen’s heart, a sense of urgency persisted from start to finish.
It was this sense of urgency that constantly drove him to improve himself.
For a cultivator, cultivation level is fundamental!
Unbeknownst to him, Wang Chen fell into a state of forgetting both self and the world.
Pure heavenly and earthly spiritual energy surged from the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil, continuously pouring into his body, transforming through his technique into powerful magical power, silently permeating his five organs, reaching every part of his body.
As he circulated the energy, it returned to his dantian, and his cultivation level increased slightly.
Over and over again, Wang Chen completely lost track of the passage of time, fully immersed in his practice.
Until a clear voice rang in his ears.
“Master, Master!”
Wang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his dark pupils shining with purple light, as if lightning had struck!
His practice had already ended, and his consciousness quickly returned to himself, where he saw the Little Cauldron standing in front of him.
Wang Chen asked lightly, “What is it?”
Under his gaze, the Little Cauldron instinctively lowered its head, feeling an instinctive fear.
This kind of fear was something it had never experienced before.
This made the cauldron spirit realize its mistake.
Timidly, it replied, “Master, the Nine-turn Pure Yang Pearl has been refined.”
Wang Chen’s eyes brightened: “Finished?”
“Yes.”
The Little Cauldron opened its mouth and produced a shining pearl, presenting it to Wang Chen with both hands: “Master, please take a look.”
Wang Chen reached out to take the pearl, casually asking, “Just one?”
“Yes.”
The Little Cauldron quickly explained, “This is a Two-turn Pearl.”
The Nine-turn Pure Yang Pearl is merely a name; in fact, nine Pure Evil Energy Pearls can be refined into one One-turn Pure Yang Pearl, then nine One-turn Pearls can refine another Two-turn…
And so on.
To create a true Nine-turn Pure Yang Pearl, an enormous number of Pure Evil Energy Pearls are undoubtedly required!
If it were to be refined, even great powers would be tempted.
Wang Chen did not entertain such foolish thoughts; in fact, he was already very satisfied with the Little Cauldron refining a Two-turn Pure Yang Pearl.
Previously, Wang Chen had used a One-turn Pure Yang Pearl to practice the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method, and the results were quite good.
The Two-turn would surely be even better!
Therefore, he did not blame the Little Cauldron for acting on its own, instead praising it: “Well done, keep up the good work.”
It’s important to note that the refinement of Pure Yang Pearls carries a chance of failure; it’s not guaranteed that using nine Pure Evil Energy Pearls will successfully create one One-turn Pure Yang Pearl.
If it succeeded, that must be rewarded!
He reached out to pat the Little Cauldron’s head, and it squinted its eyes, smiling like a devoted pet.
