“Elder Yan, please don't joke with me.”
“Senior Sister Chi is a Phoenix among people.”
“I wouldn't dare to have any thoughts about her!”
Xu Ying could tell that Elder Yan was clearly teasing him.
Naturally, he didn't dare to speak carelessly.
Some things were best kept to himself; if he were to voice them now, it would affect how others perceived him.
“Alright, kid, I won't tease you anymore.”
“This time, capturing the remnant soul of a powerful being has greatly benefited me.”
“Of course, I haven't forgotten about you, kid!”
Yan Ruyi led Xu Ying towards the small courtyard, saying, “I've put in a few good words for you with some of the Elders.”
“When you enter the Inner Sect in the future, they will definitely pay attention to you.”
“Hmm, I see your Spirit Platform has reached Perfection, and your spiritual Qi is starting to overflow.”
“Then I'll give you a Medicinal Pill to help you Break through the Spirit Platform Realm~”
Hearing Yan Ruyi's words, Xu Ying's breathing hitched.
He had naturally heard of Medicinal Pills that could help one Break through the Spirit Platform Realm.
However, they were incredibly precious, and he couldn't afford them.
“If I have this Medicinal Pill, I might be able to Break through the Spirit Platform and reach the Divine Bridge Realm in the next few days!” Xu Ying's eyes began to glow.
His gaze fell on Yan Ruyi, inexplicably heating up.
“Hmph hmph~ This brat, am I not as good-looking as a Medicinal Pill?” Yan Ruyi suddenly felt a burning gaze from Xu Ying's eyes.
She knew his thoughts, but she was a bit displeased and unconsciously shifted.
At this, Xu Ying also saw the round, bulging area in front of him subtly jiggle twice.
He realized his gaze was a bit inappropriate, immediately withdrew it, and quickly thanked her, “Many thanks for Elder Yan's bestowal!!”
“Consider yourself sensible!”
“Here, take it!”
A smile flashed in Yan Ruyi's eyes, and with a flip of her palm, a jade bottle containing a precious Medicinal Pill slowly floated before Xu Ying.
“So fragrant!”
Xu Ying smelled the Medicinal Pill's fragrance wafting from the bottle, and his spirits immediately lifted.
Even the solidified Spirit Platform within his body began to waver.
Fortunately, he suppressed this feeling of Breakthrough and quickly placed the Medicinal Pill into his Storage Pouch.
“Xu Ying, this Medicinal Pill is a Minor Ascension Pill.”
“It is most beneficial for Cultivators in the Spirit Platform Realm.”
“When you step into the Divine Bridge Realm, it will be your first ascension, hence the name Minor Ascension Pill!”
“The second ascension is when your Internal Skill transforms into a Divine Ability. At that time, you will consume the true Ascension Pill!”
“The third ascension is the day you Break through the Dao Palace and achieve the status of a powerful being. At that time, you will be able to control various incredible means, and the Medicinal Pill for that Realm is called the Heaven-Reaching Pill!”
Perhaps Yan Ruyi was in a good mood and told Xu Ying a few more things.
He listened to all of it, although he already knew some of the information.
However, hearing Yan Ruyi's explanation, that knowledge seemed to be rearranged.
“So that's how it is!!” Xu Ying's face showed sudden enlightenment.
He felt as if he had suddenly gained insight.
Yan Ruyi nodded slightly upon seeing Xu Ying's reaction.
She continued, “Xu Ying, do you know who this powerful remnant soul I captured is~”
“Disciple does not know!”
Xu Ying indeed didn't know.
But hearing her say that, he figured she would talk about this person next.
“Considering you helped the Holy Land by providing clues this time, I'll tell you some information.”
Yan Ruyi sat excitedly on a wooden chair nearby, drank a small bowl of wine, and began to tell a story.
“This remnant soul was once a Prodigy in his lifetime.”
“A thousand years ago, this Prodigy Broke through to the King Realm in the Central Region and was known as the Spiritual Turtle King.”
“At that time, many other Prodigies knew him.”
“Later, when the Spiritual Turtle King was Breaking through the Semi-Saint Realm, the world finally understood why he was called the Spiritual Turtle King!”
“One reason was related to the Cultivation Technique the Spiritual Turtle King cultivated, which extended his lifespan; the other was that he cultivated a Spirit Refining technique!!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying immediately perked up his ears.
He listened intently, not daring to breathe too heavily.
“Hehe! This Spirit Refining technique is a bit sinister.”
“It is said that one must send their deeply affectionate Dao Companion into the 'tiger's mouth,' repeatedly torturing them to stimulate one's own spirit, thereby achieving the effect of Spirit Refining!”
“Just listen to these things; don't spread them. If the descendants of the Spiritual Turtle King in the Central Region are not all dead, they might come looking for trouble with you.”
“Hiss!!” After hearing the gossip from Yan Ruyi, Xu Ying's scalp tingled.
So, the remnant soul of that powerful being actually had such a Hobbies .
Fortunately, fortunately!
“Alright, go cultivate. I hope to see you in the Inner Sect soon!”
“Little Brother Xu Ying~”
After a burst of laughter reached his ears, Xu Ying had just reacted.
He felt the world spin again.
When his surroundings calmed down, Xu Ying realized he was back in his residence's courtyard.
“Hoo, such a Divine Ability is beyond our ability to resist.”
Xu Ying's mouth twitched when he thought of the appellation Elder Yan used before he left.
If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would definitely show the other party what a Dragon's Impact was!
“My top priority now is Cultivation!”
“It was fine before when I had no resources!”
“Since I've obtained the Minor Ascension Pill, the days in the Outer Sect are finally coming to an end!”
Xu Ying took a deep breath and took out the Medicinal Pill bottle containing the Minor Ascension Pill from his Storage Pouch.
As soon as he took it out, the Medicinal Pill's fragrance immediately permeated his heart and lungs.
“Pant! Pant!” Xu Ying's breathing became rapid.
When he opened the bottle, the Minor Ascension Pill inside slid out directly and floated before his eyes.
“Gulp!!”
The Cultivation Technique within Xu Ying's body began to circulate, and the Spirit Platform in his Dantian began to tremble.
The Medicinal Pill's fragrance had already begun to induce changes in the Spirit Platform.
As this Minor Ascension Pill was swallowed down his throat, a vast energy erupted in his Dantian.
“This power!!”
“It actually activated the power of the thousand-year-old spiritual fruit that remained in my body before!!”
“What magnificent energy~”
Xu Ying's eyes were tightly closed, his entire mind immersed in his Dantian.
As he focused on his Dantian, he seemed to see it transform into a world.
The solid Spirit Platform was already full of cracks and began to tremble.
“Boom!!”
The vast energy circulated throughout his body before finally converging into his Dantian.
It was like a river flowing in a circle and then merging into the sea.
“Divine Bridge Realm!”
“The most important thing is to build the Divine Bridge!”
“According to records, the Divine Bridge built is like a path to heaven. The wider and longer the Divine Bridge, the further one can go in the future!”
Xu Ying silently recalled the Cultivation experience passed down within the Holy Land.
“With my current talent, I can't build that kind of Heaven-Reaching Bridge in the Divine Bridge Realm.”
“Fortunately, this Divine Bridge Realm can be optimized through various means before reaching the Dao Palace.”
“In that case, there's one more reason to obtain the Hegemon Body Legacy!!!”
