The Primordial Law

Chapter 547 The Luminous Cave
The recruitment of soldiers by the Dongxu Camp is held every thirty to sixty years, with no fixed interval, to prevent the Taiyin Sect from discovering the pattern. Despite this, the Taiyin Sect's influence in the southern part of the Hundred Realms has been weak for the past thousand years.

Influenced by the fiery abyss that rises in the sky, Yanjue Mountain is almost devoid of vegetation, consisting of red earth from its waist to its summit.

Only a few magical palaces, some situated on the mountainside and others suspended in mid-air, served as the cultivation residences of the older generation of spirit sentinels. Closer to the Fire Abyss, they were better able to absorb the light of the heavenly fire.

The books and scrolls were stored in the "Linlang Cave Mansion," located three miles west of the Nianshiwei New Recruit Camp.

The cave dwelling was crafted using ancient and transcendent ancestral fields, forming a small world of its own, spanning several miles. In case of unforeseen circumstances, the formation can be activated to collect and take it away.

Inside the cave, Li Weiyi stood beneath a row of bookshelves, flipping through a book whose cover read "Heavenly Fire Curse".

“The cursed monster is formless, only heavenly fire can reveal its true form, it can be burned and refined.”

"Once a cursed monster attaches itself to a soul, it requires a person with profound mental power to ignite heavenly fire to refine it. If one is not careful, it may damage the soul at best, or even cause the soul to be scattered at worst."

……

Li Wei frowned and closed the book.

"Given the Grand Palace Master's cultivation level, how high must her mental power be to be able to summon heavenly fire to help her refine the cursed monster? A Divine Mind Master?"

According to Li Weiyi, the Zen Sea Mist Master was Emperor Nianshi a thousand years ago.

Furthermore, Tai Shiyu claimed that she had demonstrated extraordinary mental power in Yuntian Xianyuan, which was so profound that it was beyond comprehension.

This is the only person Li Weiyi can think of who can help Yu'er.

If Zen Sea Observer's mental power were truly that strong, she would surely be able to sense Li Weiyi and Yu'er at Dongxu Camp. But the fact that she didn't come speaks volumes.

Li Weiyi had read through various records about cursed monsters and identified one called "Yinfo Lice," which was very similar to the situation that occurred when the curse in Yu'er's body erupted.

The released Sanskrit chants correspond to the shape of the insect's body.

Legend has it that the Yin Buddha Lice is cultivated from the body of the Buddha, and its transcendent soul is devoured within a few days.

Having discovered this, Li Weiyi now trembles with fear every time he returns to the Blood Mud Space.

Suddenly.

Li Weiyi's eyes lit up as he thought of something: "Yu'er's mental power is also very high, and her consciousness seems to be able to recover briefly due to the external environment. If we take her into the Fire Abyss, perhaps she can regain consciousness briefly and ignite the fire to refine the curse."

Thinking of this, Li Weiyi immediately went downstairs to ask Xue Yan, one of the two instructors at the Nian Shiwei recruit camp.

Xue Yan was stationed at the Linlang Cave, where she was responsible for guarding the classics, managing the resources and materials for making talismans, refining pills, and forging arrays, and answering questions for the new recruits.

Tai Shiyu led nine teams, totaling eight people. She recruited the entire team to help out at Linlang Cave, where they were responsible for various odd jobs.

Xue Yan was a beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed in a deep purple robe. She was serious and never smiled. She sat under the crystal tree that supported the Linglang Cave, teaching Tai Shiyu and the other two nine-star spirit masters of the Ninth Team how to break through to the Holy Spirit Spirit Master level.

"The Seven Realms of the Holy Spirit are the process of refining the soul of the spirit. One soul per realm, seven souls per realm."

"The first is the Heavenly Rush, the second is the Spiritual Wisdom, the third is the Vitality, the fourth is the Strength, the fifth is the Central Pivot, the sixth is the Essence, and the seventh is the Hero."

"If you want to break through to become a Holy Spirit Mind Master, in addition to condensing the tenth Mind Power Star, the most important thing is to nurture the Heavenly Soul, strengthen it, and then integrate it into the Spirit God."

"The step of fusing the spirit and soul is the most difficult and dangerous. Only by using the Holy Spirit Pill can we reduce the risk by a certain percentage and increase the chance of success by a certain percentage."

"The only three Holy Spirit Pills in the Cave Ruins Camp were awarded to the top three new recruits. If you three want to obtain them, you'll have to compete for them in next year's annual exam."

"First, focus on strengthening the Heavenly Soul. Use spiritual fire to nurture it properly. Like Nangong and Qing Zijin, after obtaining the Holy Spirit Pill, they broke through to the Holy Spirit realm overnight and gained three hundred years of lifespan, widening the gap in strength between them and you."

"I see that your Heavenly Souls are still very weak. Only Tai Shiyu has condensed them to about 50 or 60 percent."

Tai Shiyu hurriedly asked, "Sister Yan, does the Heavenly Soul have to be condensed to its full potential before one can attempt to become a Holy Spirit Mind Master? I feel that the difficulty of condensing it is getting greater and greater."

Xue Yan has been cultivating for 280 years, and the other recruits all address her as Instructor, Master Xue, or Senior, showing her great respect. Only this little guy in front of her is so audacious as to call her that.

But Tai Shiyu showed no frivolity, only respect without timidity, and his eyes were sincere yet dignified. It was precisely because of this that Xue Yan was not angered by his bold address.

Xue Yan's eyes were icy: "If you want to die, then go and try to break through to the next realm! I've already said that the step of fusing the spirit and soul is very dangerous. Even if the Heavenly Soul is condensed to the fullest extent, there have been tragedies of souls being scattered during the soul fusion process."

"The seven realms of martial arts cultivation are constantly pursued by lifespan; if you don't advance, you die."

"The seven realms of a Mind Master are like dancing on a knife's edge; each breakthrough and each fusion of souls is extremely dangerous. Each has its own unique difficulties!"

Tai Shiyu said, "I understand. Thank you for your patient guidance, Sister Yan."

Xue Yan wasn't a patient person, but hearing this made her feel quite comfortable, so she continued, "Every batch of new recruits has a high aptitude for mental power, but only one-third of them can eventually reach the level of Holy Spirit Mental Master and become a Sentinel Spirit. Half of them are stuck at the level of Spirit Mental Master, and the rest are almost all unwilling to accept it, forcibly breaking through the realm, and dying from spontaneous combustion."

"The path of a Mind Master is so perilous; a lifespan of three hundred years is not so easy to obtain."

"Don't be impatient. Make thorough preparations. You must first refine the Heavenly Soul to its full potential. Li Weiyi, what's the matter?"

Standing at a distance, Li Weiyi walked towards the Crystal Jade Tree, clasped his hands in a salute, and asked, "May I ask Instructor Xue, when will the new recruits be allowed to go to the mountaintop for training? Also, I heard that the Valiant Guards and Deputy Valiant Guards have entered the Fire Abyss for training. Why can't we?"

Xue Yan said in a deep voice, "Your talent in mental power is indeed remarkable, but you are too ambitious. If you want to enter the Fire Abyss, you must reach the realm of Holy Spirit Mental Master, and then absorb the Heavenly Fire to quickly stabilize your realm, so that your spiritual light contains the attributes of the Heavenly Fire. In the future, when you walk in the Netherworld of the Dead, you will not be afraid of curses and monsters. You have only condensed 20% of your Heavenly Soul, right?"

Generally, one only begins to condense the Heavenly Soul when they reach the peak of the Nine-Star Spiritual Master.

Li Weiyi is still some distance from the peak realm, and being able to condense two-tenths of the Heavenly Soul is already quite remarkable. After all, he only learned the condensation method half a month ago.

"Indeed, only 20% has been condensed."

Li Weiyi understood the situation and stopped asking questions. She then said, "I want to purchase a batch of materials for alchemy and talisman making."

"Didn't you just buy materials for five million Yongquan coins? Why are you buying more?" Xue Yan gave him a cold look. "Those were bought ten days ago!"

Li Weiyi possessed a Time Cocoon; ten days within the cocoon represented two months. For the past two months, he had been attempting to refine the Polar Day True Pill, failing three times and suffering significant losses of medicinal materials.

The Dongxu Camp possesses the recipe for the True Elixir of Midnight Sun.

Li Weiyi asked, "Instructor Xue, does the Sentinel Army restrict Sentinels from purchasing materials?"

"There are no restrictions! But you'd better not follow the example of that old fellow from your Jiuli tribe who resold resources from the Cave Ruins Camp. When he was captured, he was sent to guard the most dangerous outpost for sixty years."

Xue Yan took out a talisman and handed it to Tai Shiyu: "Take him to the storeroom and make sure to register everything clearly."

"Don't worry, Sister Yan, there won't be any mistakes."

Tai Shiyu and Li Weiyi went to the storeroom.

"Materials worth thirty million Yongquan coins?"

Inside the warehouse, Tai Shiyu was stunned by the number of blood crystals Li Weiyi had taken out, and even more surprised by the amount of materials he had purchased: "Even those Longevity Realm giants aren't as wealthy as you. You're not really planning to resell them, are you?"

These are all blood crystals from the bags of Fu Wenyan, Si Wuyan, Yao Qian, and others.

"Instructor Xue can practically devour someone with just a look, do you think I would dare?" Li Weiyi said, flipping through the storeroom's ledgers.

Tai Shiyu, holding the list given to him by Li Weiyi, walked towards the depths of the warehouse: "Sister Yan has a very gentle personality. You were tricked by Elder Qin, so she has a problem with you."

Before long, Tai Shiyu packed the materials for refining talismans and pills that Li Weiyi had requested into a box, took them out, and then registered them with a pen.

"I see some medicinal herbs that are six thousand years old. What's the price?" Li Weiyi asked.

The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Queens are not lacking in millennium-old medicinal herbs and food for the time being, but they lack high-grade medicinal herbs to break through to the Longevity Realm. Currently, the First Phoenix and the Second Phoenix have both reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven, ahead of the other five Phoenixes.

Tai Shiyu asked, "Sixty top-grade blood crystals, would you like to buy them?"

"I can't afford it right now."

Li Weiyi truly couldn't afford to buy special treasures like the Water Dragon Scale Armor, the Wind and Thunder Banner, and the Blood Pool Silver Sea, as they weren't for sale.

The blood crystals he brought out this time, worth thirty million Yongquan coins, represented all the monetary wealth he possessed. He had other plans; he couldn't just sit around in Dongxu Camp and let his wealth run out.

Li Weiyi put all the materials for refining the Polar Day True Pill and the Heavenly Sword Talisman into his boundary bag and walked out of the Linlang Cave.

It was already evening when Yun Song, the deputy captain of the team, was waiting outside.

During his recruit assessment, he ranked twelfth among the Nian Shi Guards, and his strength was comparable to that of Tai Shi Yu, both being peak nine-star Nian Shi masters.

Li Weiyi had met Yun Song a few times before, and walked over: "The vice captain has come to Linlang Cave, why don't you go in?"

"I've been waiting for you."

Yun Song not only cultivates mental power but also martial arts. He is of medium build and lacks the handsome and dashing appearance of Tai Shi Yu and Chang Yu Jian. He is serious and earnest: "After the Deputy Valiant Guard entered the Fire Abyss, I taught you how to refine the Yin-Breaking Thunder Talisman. It's been half a month. How is it going? In ten days, it will be one month since the new recruits joined the army, and everyone has to hand in a talisman. You are five days late. Is that alright?"

"No problem, we will definitely complete the mission."

Li Wei could understand the other party's concerns, after all, he had been meditating and absorbing the light of the heavenly fire almost every time he came to the camp.

When the time came, they immediately went down the mountain back to the barracks, hardly showing any signs of practicing talisman making.

Yun Song nodded slightly: "You are number one on the new recruits' merit list and a top-notch psychic genius. It's good that you haven't forgotten the mission. Don't blame me for being nosy, but if anyone fails to complete the mission, the whole team will be punished. Why don't you move to Yanjue Mountain? It's closer to the camp, but there are no independent barracks."

"Such a strong fluctuation."

Li Weiyi sensed something and looked towards the camp.

Yun Song also noticed it, and his eyes blazed with intense light: "Someone has broken through to the Holy Spirit Mind Master realm! Blood clouds are rising, and blood light is shining everywhere. It's the third place in the new recruit assessment, Blood Jade Material."

"Wow!"

A crimson glow enveloped most of Yanjue Mountain, radiating outwards in concentric circles with tremendous force.

The condensed blood cloud briefly obscured the fiery abyss cracks in mid-air.

The young men and women of the Nian Shiwei recruit camp were all alarmed, discussing among themselves and looking enviously at a house near the camp.

The door opened, and a young figure in magnificent robes, holding a jade staff, stepped out.

In the twilight.

Outside the house, a series of deafening voices rang out: "Congratulations, Captain, on breaking through to become a Holy Spirit Mind Master."

"Greetings, Lord Sentinel!"

……

Yuan Jingsan and Xue Yan were also alerted and rushed to Xue Yucai's residence. After offering their congratulations, they took him down the mountain to select a palace, cave, and medicinal field.

Under the lights, the road down the mountain was bustling with activity and a lively atmosphere.

Yun Song cast an incredibly envious glance at them: "You have to admit it. The top three recruits all successfully broke through to the next realm after obtaining the Holy Spirit Pill. That's real strength. Can you see the difference?"

"What?" Li Weiyi asked.
