Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

These facts alone are enough to show how difficult it is to refine the Spirit-Pregnant Powder.

Finally, the spirit dust needs to be allowed to slowly absorb the spiritual energy.

This process could take decades or even centuries!

Looking at the complicated steps above, Xiao Yang felt it was a bit difficult.

No wonder the method for refining Spirit-Pregnant Powder has been lost.

However, it was alright for him.

The soul of an eighth-tier magical beast—I wonder if the soul in the magical beast ranch space can replace it.

The souls of the eighth-tier magical beasts in the magical beast ranch space can also be utilized.

As for other materials, Xiao Yang also had them.

Those medicinal herbs that enhance soul power are not particularly precious.

They are mostly medicinal materials needed for seventh-grade elixirs.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang prepared to try refining some Spirit-Nourishing Powder.

As for time, with his monster ranch space and herb field space, he was not afraid of any of that.

Chapter 379 Strange Phenomena of Heaven and Earth!

Xiao Yang entered the Monster Ranch space directly.

He selected several magical beasts with relatively strong soul power and killed them directly.

Magic core, beast bones, monster meat, essence blood, claws and teeth, scales, fur, and soul.

Xiao Yang collected them by category.

Every part of a high-level magical beast is a treasure.

Xiao Yang wouldn't waste even the slightest bit of his time.

Next, he went to the herb field space and took some medicinal herbs.

After collecting the materials, Xiao Yang returned to the Strange Fire Tower and took out the Heavenly Profound Cauldron.

Refining Spirit-Nourishing Powder is not difficult for an eighth-grade alchemist.

And it doesn't take too long.

The Spirit-Nourishing Powder itself is not a pill; it simply requires combining the ingredients roughly.

With a thought, Xiao Yang infused the primordial fire into it.

He threw all the materials into it.

He focused all his energy on those monster souls.

After all, this was Xiao Yang's first time refining the essence of his soul.

He had never thought about elevating the essence of his soul before.

Even if refining the essence of the soul can enhance soul power.

Just like what the Soul Palace did.

However, Xiao Yang still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, a sufficient amount of soul essence is needed to enhance his soul power.

Instead of refining the essence of the soul, it's better to directly consume medicinal herbs that enhance soul power.

Anyway, Xiao Yang has quite a few of these medicinal herbs.

He plans to raise his soul power to the Heavenly Realm in a while!

The reason I didn't take the medicinal herbs directly before was because I was afraid of wasting them.

Refining it into elixirs is the most cost-effective method.

The spiritual power enhanced by elixirs is far greater than that enhanced by directly consuming medicinal herbs.

Furthermore, during the refining process, you can also create tasks to obtain medicinal herbs, magical beasts, and proficiency rewards.

It is also easier to absorb when refined into pills.

That's why Xiao Yang kept these medicinal herbs that enhance soul power.

He planned to refine some Rank 8 pills to enhance his soul power during his time in Dan City.

Anyway, Dancheng is a relatively safe place.

He feared the Soul Palace would come knocking if he refined it elsewhere.

As time went by, Xiao Yang had extracted all the medicinal herbs and souls from the Heavenly Profound Cauldron.

The next step is the most important one.

Xiao Yang gradually integrated the essence of those medicinal herbs into the origin of his soul.

At the same time, he also infused a bit of spiritual energy into the origin of his soul.

Soon, these materials were refined into grains of white dust.

Xiao Yang could sense that the dust was gradually absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy and merging into it.

However, this process is very slow.

He needs to wait a while for these dust particles to absorb enough spiritual energy before they can become true spirit-nurturing dust.

The ones he refined probably contained about a dozen grains of spirit-nurturing powder.

Xiao Yang placed most of the Pregnancy Spirit Powder in the medicinal field space.

He placed the remaining three grains of spirit-nurturing dust in the monster ranch space.

Both of his spaces contain spiritual energy and the energy of heaven and earth.

In addition to these, there are many other kinds of energy.

However, Xiao Yang was unable to absorb any of these.

He didn't refine too much Spirit-Nourishing Powder.

Because the powder of the pregnant spirit is neither a medicinal material nor a pill.

He didn't know if placing it in these two spaces would allow it to absorb spiritual energy and become true spirit-nurturing dust.

He didn't want to waste materials if he failed.

Anyway, we'll know in a few days.

One day in the outside world is equivalent to fourteen years in the herb field space and the monster ranch space.

In just a few days, we'll be able to see if the Spirit Powder can absorb the spiritual energy from both spaces.

If possible, Xiao Yang could refine Spirit-Nourishing Dust on a large scale in the future.

After doing all that, he began to organize the cultivation techniques he had obtained at the alchemist trade fair.

Xiao Yang managed to acquire a total of six scrolls of high-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques.

I wonder if these six volumes of cultivation techniques can elevate his Myriad Techniques to the Heavenly Rank.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang began to integrate these cultivation techniques.

Most of these techniques are not fire-based.

After all, if it were a fire-attribute cultivation technique, those alchemists would have already used it themselves.

However, Xiao Yang accepted all comers.

He integrated the techniques one scroll at a time.

One volume, two volumes, three volumes...

Just as Xiao Yang was merging into the fourth volume.

The Book of Myriad Laws within the dantian began to show some changes.

On the surface of the Book of Myriad Laws, some mysterious runes began to appear.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful suction force suddenly came from Xiao Yang's dantian.

All the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) surged into Xiao Yang's body.

After being purified by the Fallen Heart Flame, this energy flowed directly into the dantian.

These already extremely pure energies were compressed once again when they passed through the Book of Myriad Laws!

Immediately afterwards, this fighting spirit flowed to Xiao Yang's limbs and bones, forming a layer of fighting spirit crystals on his meridians, bones, and muscles.

In fact, once a certain level is reached, battle qi is no longer stored solely within the dantian.

As time passed, the total amount of Dou Qi within Xiao Yang's body experienced a terrifying increase.

His fighting spirit has also become even stronger!

He could clearly sense that the Myriad Laws Technique had reached the Heavenly Rank!

Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Task: Raise your cultivation to Six-Star Dou Zong. Rewards: Constitution +1, Root Bone +1, Random High-Grade Herbs +30. Completed. Claim rewards?]

Xiao Yang's skill improvement also boosted his cultivation level by one star.

However, it only increases by one star.

If his cultivation level hadn't been close to that of a six-star Dou Zong, even if his cultivation technique had been upgraded to the Heavenly Rank, he wouldn't have been able to break through immediately.

Xiao Yang, who had been inside the Strange Fire Tower, was unaware of the strange phenomena that had occurred outside.

……

In the sky above the inner region of Saint Pill City, layers of dark clouds suddenly appeared on the originally azure sky.

A sudden gust of wind swept across the land.

The people in Saint Dan City thought it was another alchemist making medicine.
