Chapter 429: Refining the Solar Flame Herb
Cultivation secret room!
A secret room jointly arranged by Golden Core stage and Nascent Soul cultivators contained a Spirit Gathering Array, where the concentration of spiritual energy exceeded that of the outside world by severalfold—even up to ten times.
Though dense spiritual energy doesn’t guarantee cultivation speed multiplying proportionally, the refined energy from the array proved far easier to absorb. Differences in cultivation techniques and innate talent still created vast disparities in progress.
If a genius cultivator with peerless techniques might truly achieve tenfold speed in such a room, most others would only gain two to three times faster cultivation at best.
As for talent, Ye Yun’s body had been forged by the Heart of Immortals and Demons, granting him formidable physical and soul strength with boundless potential. This allowed him to claim invincibility below the Golden Core stage, even challenging first-layer Golden Core cultivators despite his Foundation Establishment cultivation.
Crucially, he’d already sensed an impending breakthrough to Foundation Establishment’s second layer. With his comprehension of the five laws eliminating bottlenecks, only his physical limits remained.
The Solar Flame Herb from the auction—a premium body-tempering material—paired with the Dragon Blood Crystal’s potential dragon essence could elevate his physique to the Great Demon Body. Once achieved, none below the Golden Core stage could threaten him physically.
His search for a secure cultivation room wasn’t merely to evade treasure-seekers, but to focus entirely on breaking through. Though he’d grasped five laws, their true power depended on cultivation depth.
Ye Yun’s journey to the Great Qin Empire prioritized finding divine medicine to save Su Ling. Second was locating the Ancestor of the Sword Path’s second Soul Willpower, followed by unlocking the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Saint’s Secret Vault. These goals intertwined: the Ancestor’s memories might reveal the vault’s location, which could hold the needed medicine.
But first, he needed strength rivaling Golden Core cultivators. Thunder Falls Valley’s upcoming opening offered an irreplaceable opportunity—his lightning-imbued body would grant easy entry. Meanwhile, joining elite sects like Misty Sect or Divine Grace Palace could secure future access to the Heavenly Sword Secret Vault.
The inconspicuous stone chamber bristled with dozens of array restrictions. Without specialized knowledge, breaching them was impossible; even experts would need months. Guided by Shan Yu Chun, Ye Yun spent half a day navigating the defenses.
When the stone door sealed behind him, damp, water-thick spiritual energy flooded the chamber, chilling his skin.
"Remarkable! Such a cultivation room built in mere millennia," marveled the Ancestor of the Sword Path.
"None existed a millennium ago?" Ye Yun asked.
"None so elaborate. This Spirit Gathering Array’s precision—converting ambient energy and spirit stones into concentrated form—is ingenious," the Ancestor replied. "The Battle of Immortals and Demons ten thousand years ago damaged the Three Realms. Spiritual energy dwindled over time. By my era, scarcity had begun. Now, they’ve maximized arrays and spirit stones to compensate."
Ye Yun finally understood why Golden Core cultivators thrived millennia ago but dwindled in recent centuries within the Jin Kingdom—the world itself was drying up.
"This chamber’s energy rivals ancient times. With your gifts, one month here equals a year outside," the Ancestor said eagerly. His existence in the Soul Turning Tower depended on Ye Yun, who alone could recover his scattered Soul Willpower and rebuild his body.
Wasting no time, Ye Yun sat cross-legged, summoning ten thousand top-grade spirit stones. Even this rich environment wasn’t enough—he’d supplement it further.
"Solar Flame Herb requires no special absorption," the Ancestor advised as Ye Yun produced it. "Without medicinal baths, I’ll teach a direct method. You’ll retain eighty to ninety percent efficacy." A secret technique flowed into Ye Yun’s mind—simple, mastered instantly.
The herb levitated before him. A spark reduced it to powder, erupting into a black cloud that shrouded him. Through his pores, the particles seeped inward. Blistering heat erupted from his core, flooding every meridian to scour his flesh.
Under the Ancestor’s method, the Solar Flame Herb’s power refined Ye Yun’s body relentlessly!
