Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia boarded the carriage, which clattered back to the Liu residence.

Inside the carriage, Chen Yang sat silently by the window, still feeling lingering fear as he recalled the power of Xiao Daoyun's final palm strike.

It seems that the experts at the Golden Body Realm are far more powerful than I thought!

Although I have mastered the Seven Steps Netherworld Slash, I have no hope of escaping when facing a Golden Body Realm expert. I still need to improve my strength as soon as possible.

We need to keep a low profile for now and avoid provoking Xiao Daoyun again.

Sitting opposite her, Liu Qingxia frowned. She vaguely sensed that something was wrong tonight, as if she had just escaped a great disaster, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Liu Qingxia recalled carefully that Zhao Manmei and Xiao Fan did indeed act strangely during the banquet. There must be something wrong with that cloak; someone had tampered with it!

However, the cloak was given to Zhao Manmei by Xiao Fan. How could he possibly tamper with the cloak on her?

Even if he were incredibly bold, he wouldn't dare to instruct his sister-in-law to do such a thing in front of him. Could it be that this conspiracy was originally aimed at me?

Liu Qingxia's heart skipped a beat. The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. However, she didn't know why the poisonous cloak hadn't been draped over her but instead ended up on Zhao Manmei.

Is someone secretly helping me?

Liu Qingxia looked up at Chen Yang opposite her. For some reason, Chen Yang was the first person she thought of, but she quickly shook her head.

Reason told Liu Qingxia that this could absolutely not have been done by Chen Yang!

The ability to manipulate Xiao Fan and the City Lord's Mansion is something that the blind Chen Yang could never have accomplished.

Liu Qingxia frowned slightly, perhaps it was due to Xiao Fan and the others' carelessness that caused this.

It seems I need to be more careful in the future.

Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia remained silent. After returning to the Liu residence, they immediately went to their bedroom and went to sleep.

Liu Qingxia was preoccupied with matters concerning the City Lord's Mansion.

After lying in bed for two hours, she jumped up and went to the courtyard to continue practicing the Seven Steps Netherworld Slash.

Chen Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw Liu Qingxia working hard in the courtyard. He slowly got up and sat by the window. After confirming that Liu Qingxia was studying hard outside, he opened his system, which displayed his current information.

The remaining spirit stones have reached 2200.

The section on "Techniques" remains unchanged.

In the item list, in addition to his own mid-grade magic weapon, the Qingfeng Sword, he now has four low-grade magic weapons!

[Ding! Host has obtained a low-grade magic weapon: Yama's Thorn!]

[Ding! Host has obtained a low-grade magic artifact: Heart-Protecting Armor!]

[Ding! Host has obtained a low-grade magic weapon: Three Shadows Sword!]

[Ding! Host has obtained a special low-grade magic weapon: Soul-Slaying Bell!]

[Ding! Host has obtained two Spirit-Guiding Pills!]

Chen Yang couldn't help but stroke his chin. This Xiao Fan is really rich!

He actually possessed four low-grade magic artifacts, hundreds of spirit stones, and two spirit-attracting pills all at the same time!

Although this Spirit-Guiding Pill is only the lowest grade one pill, if it can be recognized and calculated by the system, then it is definitely not the lowest grade!

Chen Yang glanced at the items, then frowned slightly, wondering: What is this special magical artifact, the Soul-Destroying Bell?

Chen Yang reached into his storage ring and took out a fist-sized, bell-like object.

The bell still had some rust on its surface, and inside the bell, instead of ordinary bell beads, was a piece of weathered bone.

Chen Yang was slightly puzzled. Was this the Soul-Soul-Binding Bell? How could it be a special magical artifact?

Chen Yang studied it for a moment, then reached out and channeled his spiritual energy into the bell. However, his spiritual energy seemed to sink into the ocean without any reaction.

Chen Yang was very puzzled, wondering how to use the Soul-Slaying Bell.

He thought for a moment, then opened the system and clicked on the Soul-Binding Bell.

[Ding! Upgradeable item detected. Would you like to spend 500 spirit stones to upgrade the special magic weapon, Soul-Soul Bell?]

Chen Yang sighed with heartache when he saw the price of 500 spirit stones.

However, items that can be upgraded with 500 spirit stones are generally good value for money, and he really doesn't care about ordinary low-grade magic weapons, but this Soul-Destroying Bell seems to be quite interesting to Chen Yang.

After thinking for a moment, he chose "yes".

[It cost 500 spirit stones to upgrade the special magic artifact, the Soul-Slaying Bell, from low-grade to mid-grade!]

The Soul-Slaying Bell glowed slightly, and then the ancient bronze rust on its surface increased, with strange and complex patterns seemingly appearing faintly among the rust.

Those patterns cannot be seen with the eyes. If you stare at them, you will feel dizzy and the whole space will seem to be distorted!

Chen Yang once again held the mid-grade special magic weapon, the Soul-Destroying Bell, and seemed to have gained some insight. He immediately gripped the Soul-Destroying Bell in his hand and forced himself to sense its existence.

The next moment, with a "hum", the Soul-Slaying Bell began to tremble silently!

Then Chen Yang flicked his hand, and the Soul-Destroying Bell flew out with a "whoosh," only to return to Chen Yang's hand a moment later.

Chen Yang instantly understood that the Soul-Slaying Bell was indeed a special magical artifact because its control method was different from other magical artifacts!

Other magical artifacts can be controlled by inputting spiritual power, but this Soul-Losing Bell does not require spiritual power, but rather the power of one's own divine consciousness!

In order to control the Soul-Destroying Bell, one must input a large amount of divine consciousness to establish a connection with it!

The greatest function of the Soul-Destroying Bell is not killing or defending, but it has a special function: to strike the opponent's soul unexpectedly!

Once the Soul-Slaying Bell is launched, it can damage the opponent's consciousness, causing a brief period of mental blankness!

Chen Yang's eyes lit up. This thing is incredibly powerful; no wonder it's a special magical artifact!

Imagine this: in the middle of a fierce battle with your opponent, you unexpectedly throw this Soul-Destroying Bell. The moment the Soul-Destroying Bell shakes, your opponent's mind goes blank, and they instantly shut down, looking like an idiot!

Even a momentary lapse in movement and a blank mind can determine life or death!

However, activating the Soul-Losing Bell consumes too much mental energy.

Chen Yang was very satisfied and put away the Soul-Destroying Bell, which would be a major weapon in his future battles!

After all, opponents will be on guard against ordinary magical artifacts, but the Soul-Slaying Bell itself has no spiritual energy fluctuations, so it is difficult for opponents to understand what it is when it is thrown out!

Chen Yang then took out a tattered cultivation manual from his storage ring, which he had also obtained from Xiao Fan's secret chamber.

Chen Yang opened the scroll of the cultivation manual. The manual was very tattered; the first page was completely torn, making it impossible to read the name and introduction of the manual. The following pages contained detailed descriptions of how to practice the manual.

Chen Yang took a look and realized that this technique was actually a kind of technique for forging the soul!

Chen Yang was surprised. Was this the Soul Refining Technique?

I never imagined there were cultivation techniques specifically for enhancing mental strength!

If you want to use the Soul-Destroying Bell in the future, you will definitely need strong mental power, and the stronger your mental power, the faster your perception and reaction speed will be!

Especially one's own eyes, which rely on the transformation of spiritual energy to see. If one's spiritual awareness is strong, one can see further and more clearly, far stronger than the eyes of a normal person!

Chen Yang thought for a moment and then stopped paying attention to the other low-grade magic artifacts.

After all, upgrading a low-grade magic weapon requires spirit stones, and once upgraded, those upgraded magic weapons can no longer be given away or sold.

Chen Yang already has the Qingfeng Sword, so he doesn't need any other weapons for the time being.

He then opened the book on soul refining in his hand and began to read it carefully.

As Chen Yang looked at it, he couldn't help but admire it immensely. The author of this technique was truly amazing!

He found a unique way to temper the strength of the soul without going through hardships and arduous training!

Generally speaking, the strength of one's soul is determined by one's talent. Cultivators can only slowly increase their soul strength during the process of cultivation and leveling up, and cannot actively increase the size of their soul strength.

However, this Soul Refining Technique has found a possible path out of the impossible!

In general, it is the reverse flow of spiritual energy. After being cleansed by the five internal organs, the spiritual energy eventually enters the innate kidneys, thereby nourishing the innate kidney essence through acquired spiritual energy. This process of nourishing the innate kidney essence can gradually enhance one's spiritual awareness!

The scroll on the art of soul refining didn't have many words, but after studying it carefully, Chen Yang had already found some tricks.

Chen Yang then put the scroll back into his storage ring, sat cross-legged, and began to silently cultivate the Soul Refining Technique.

It wasn't until late at night, around 4 a.m., that Liu Qingxia finally returned to her bedroom.

She was covered in sweat, and the dew that had dripped from her nose and lips remained on her nose.

Liu Qingxia reached the table, picked up her water glass and drank it all in one gulp. She glanced at Chen Yang and saw that he was lying there seemingly asleep, so she became more agile.

She filled her bathtub with warm water, then gently took off her clothes and began to soak in the tub.
