The few of them cried out, immediately preparing to split up and run.
"Run? Come back here, all of you! Don't even think about running!"
Qin Xuan said coldly, the Refining God Cauldron flying into his hand. As it spun, a powerful suction force emerged from the cauldron, pulling the Divine Souls of the three out from their Physical Bodies.
"No!"
The three Divine Souls screamed in terror.
But facing the Refining God Cauldron and Qin Xuan's powerful Divine Soul, they had no room for resistance.
"Get in, all of you!"
Qin Xuan shouted, sucking all three of their Divine Souls and Physical Bodies into the Refining God Cauldron.
"Since you dared to monitor me, you must pay the price!"
His Spiritual Qi circulated, instantly transforming their Physical Bodies into spiritual liquid.
"Devour them!"
The Refining God Cauldron ground the three Divine Souls into pure Mental Energy, which was then completely devoured by Qin Xuan!
After a while, Qin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.
"A Soul Cultivator's Divine Soul is indeed excellent, much stronger than the Mental Energy of an ordinary Cultivator. By devouring these Divine Souls, my Divine Soul has achieved an even greater Breakthrough."
Qin Xuan clenched his fist, a smile on his face.
After devouring these Divine Souls, his Bronze Sea of Consciousness had already begun to shimmer with silver.
This was a sign of his Divine Soul's further improvement.
"At this rate of devouring, if you devour a few more Soul Cultivators' Divine Souls, your Divine Soul can Breakthrough to the Silver Sea of Consciousness in one go."
Han Ye also said, full of pleasant surprises.
Qin Xuan's Divine Soul had progressed too much.
Even if Qin Xuan achieved nothing in other areas in the future, the sheer power of his Divine Soul alone would be enough for him to dominate a region.
Of course, for Cultivators, Realm cultivation and Physical Body are equally important.
"You shouldn't be too far from reaching the Heavenly Profound Fifth Realm now. After absorbing some more Spiritual Qi, you should be able to try to impact the Heavenly Profound Fifth Realm."
The greatest advantage of Qin Xuan's Physique was that, at present, he would basically not encounter any cultivation Bottlenecks.
This was the greatest advantage of the Chaotic Body; Realm Bottlenecks were practically non-existent.
"No matter, I'll seize these next few days to try and see if I can Breakthrough again. After all, there are still a few days left, but before that, I still need to see the Grand Elder first."
In these few days, Qin Xuan did not want his whereabouts to be exposed, but it was very necessary to go see the Grand Elder.
After all, the Grand Elder had not sold out Qin Xuan at the crucial moment.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan hurried to where the Profound Dragon Dao was currently residing.
"Qin Xuan, you are indeed fine."
Seeing Qin Xuan appear safe and sound, the Grand Elder nodded to Qin Xuan with pleasant surprise.
He had felt before that Qin Xuan could not possibly die so easily, which was why he had argued strongly, insisting on delaying the time for a few more days.
Now seeing Qin Xuan indeed appear, the stone in his heart finally dropped.
"Thank you, Grand Elder, for your concern. This junior is fine."
Qin Xuan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to the Grand Elder.
Although he was very curious how Qin Xuan escaped, after some thought, the Grand Elder ultimately did not ask anything further.
Everyone has their own secrets. Since Qin Xuan did not mention it, he naturally knew better than to say anything more.
"It's good that you've come, it's good that you've come. You should stay here these next few days. Even if those Soul Cultivators are bold, they wouldn't dare to act here."
This was the Imperial City, the base camp of the Yuan Royal Family.
If Qin Xuan were injured or abducted here, then the Yuan Royal Family might as well not be the Royal Family anymore and honestly give up their position.
"Thank you, Elder, for your kindness, but this Disciple still has some matters to attend to these next few days, so I won't be staying here for now. This time, I specifically came to inform you, Grand Elder."
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, although the Grand Elder wanted to say something more, he hesitated for a long time before stopping.
"Alright, I can understand why you're doing this. After all, the Sect failed to protect you."
Saying this, the Grand Elder felt a little self-reproachful.
Qin Xuan was somewhat amused, but he did not say much, merely cupping his hands to the Grand Elder before getting up and leaving.
Upon reaching the doorway, Qin Xuan suddenly stopped.
"Oh, Grand Elder, where are those people from the Thousand Dharma Hall? I wonder if the Elder could point me in their direction."
Hearing this, the Grand Elder's heart stirred, knowing that Qin Xuan did not intend to let those few go.
However, he already disliked those few people, so he naturally did not hold back.
"They are in that small building to the east. After they tried to attack you, they've been afraid of being heavily punished by me, so they don't come out much now."
The people from the Thousand Dharma Hall!
Qin Xuan clenched his fist, preparing to stride away.
"Qin Xuan, they are, after all, people of the Profound Dragon Dao. It would be best not to kill them all."
The Grand Elder guessed Qin Xuan's thoughts and naturally lowered his voice.
"Grand Elder, rest assured, this Disciple will only punish the ringleader!"
Saying this, he strode out.
Looking at the sky outside, Qin Xuan was not in a hurry to act.
"No rush, it's still too bright now. These people aren't Soul Cultivators, so acting now would be too conspicuous. It's better to wait a bit."
He wanted to act when it was night.
Anyway, in these people's eyes, he was already a dead man, so they wouldn't even think that Qin Xuan would be the one to act.
Taking advantage of the daytime, Qin Xuan left the area.
Next, he was going to the Kun Peng Nest. Before that, he also needed to prepare some things and sell off some items he carried with him.
However, this time he did not plan to go to the Tianji Pavilion in the Imperial City.
Although there were many good things in the Tianji Pavilion, their value was not low.
Qin Xuan decided to first go to the market in the city to see if he could find some suitable items.
The Imperial City's market was located in the south of the city. Because the Imperial City was truly enormous, there were Spirit Beasts specially used for transportation within the city.
Qin Xuan was also startled when he rode a Spirit Beast to the market.
An entire area in the south of the city was designated as the market. Looking out, there were tens of thousands of stalls.
"As expected of the Imperial City, even just the market is of such a large scale."
Qin Xuan praised, then entered the market.
Formation Flags needed for setting up Formations, various Medicinal Materials needed for refining Medicinal Pills, and all sorts of other Materials that needed to be replenished—all of these needed to be purchased.
Walking and stopping, looking at the items along the way, Qin Xuan was somewhat overwhelmed by the choices.
If it weren't for the large amount of Spirit Stones he had, he wouldn't know how to choose among so many things.
"Qin Xuan, wait a moment."
Just as Qin Xuan walked past a stall, Han Ye suddenly transmitted a message to Qin Xuan.
"What's wrong, Han Lao?"
Qin Xuan hurriedly asked Han Lao, wondering if he had found something he cared about.
"Look at the items on that stall over there. That stone seems to be quite interesting."
Han Ye transmitted to Qin Xuan.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan returned to the stall he had just left and picked up a black stone from the stall.
The stall owner was initially excited when he saw Qin Xuan approach, but when he saw Qin Xuan only looking at this stone, he immediately felt a wave of disappointment.
This stone always attracted a lot of attention, but in the end, no one truly wanted it.
"It's just an ordinary stone."
Qin Xuan took a simple look and was also a little disappointed.
At first, he thought this stone had something unique about it.
But now that he tried it, it was just ordinary. He really didn't understand what was so special about this thing that it would be worth Han Lao's attention.
