Chapter 30

Soul Skill Evolution

Taking a deep breath, Zhuowen forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart. His consciousness communicated with the Jade Cauldron Armored Soul in his sea of consciousness. The Jade Cauldron Armored Soul hummed softly and turned into a beam of light that drilled out of Zhuowen's body. Finally, it grew to the size of half a person.

The entire jade cauldron was crystal clear. If it wasn't for the fact that it was damaged and ruined its overall beauty, the jade cauldron wouldn't be any worse than some rare antiques.

After muttering to himself for a while, Zhuowen immediately activated the Fierce Sun Absolute Art that he had cultivated. A wave of fire that was converted from origin energy suddenly erupted from Zhuowen's palm. Then, it turned into a pillar of fire that entered the jade cauldron.

Through the jade cauldron's shadow, Zhuowen could clearly feel that the pillar of fire that erupted from his palm was refined and solidified by the mysterious energy within the jade cauldron, causing its power to become even stronger.

After doing all this, Zhuowen waved his right hand and immediately threw many medicinal ingredients from his Qiankun Bag into the jade cauldron. The moment these ordinary medicinal ingredients entered the jade cauldron, they were instantly melted into liquid by the high temperature within the jade cauldron.

Furthermore, as time passed, under the high temperature, the useless impurities within the medicinal ingredients that had already melted into liquid slowly evaporated. What was left in the jade cauldron was the essence of the medicinal ingredients.

Although Zhuowen knew nothing about the art of alchemy, fortunately, the Jade Cauldron Armored Soul would actively send out messages to guide Zhuowen during the process of alchemy. In other words, the Jade Cauldron Armored Soul was now like a good teacher that constantly taught Zhuowen how to refine pills.

Feeling that the medicinal ingredients' impurities in the jade cauldron were almost all purified, Zhuowen finally took out the origin core of the 'Saber-Toothed Tiger' from his Qiankun Bag. His eyes flickered for a while before he threw the origin core into the jade cauldron.

As the origin core entered, the jade cauldron immediately hummed. After that, Zhuowen realized that the origin energy in his body was continuously being absorbed by the jade cauldron. The pillar of fire formed by the origin energy also became several times thicker in an instant.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Zhuowen realized that in such a short period of time, he had actually lost close to a third of the essence energy in his body. It seemed that refining pills was indeed physically taxing.

Fortunately, Zhuowen had the magical Jade Cauldron Armor Soul. The Jade Cauldron Armor Soul was like a brilliant alchemist. It tried its best to control the fire to the right degree. In this way, the probability of failure was reduced to almost zero.

If a dabbler like Zhuowen were to personally refine pills, the furnace would probably explode the moment he started.

After about two hours, the Yuan Power in Zhuowen's body was almost depleted. At this moment, the jade cauldron suddenly trembled. Following which, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance erupted from within the jade cauldron.

Under Zhuowen's blazing gaze, the lid of the cauldron was lifted, and a dozen round beads with blazing light shot out.

Zhuowen took out the prepared porcelain bottle from his Qiankun Bag. With a wave of his right hand, a gentle origin energy transformed into a large hand that enveloped the dozen or so elixirs. Following which, the elixirs were pulled into the porcelain bottle.

Looking at the dozen or so fragrant elixirs lying quietly in the porcelain bottle, Zhuowen knew that the refinement of the Qi Boosting Elixirs this time was a success. Furthermore, Zhuowen could feel that the medicinal effects of the Qi Boosting Elixirs were even more concentrated than the Fire Dragon Elixir. Obviously, its effects were stronger than the Fire Dragon Elixir.

"I wonder how effective these Qi Boosting Elixirs are?"

Zhuowen gently pinched a Qi Boosting Elixir and swallowed it without hesitation. Following which, Zhuowen felt an extremely strong medicinal effect fill his entire body. Even his limbs and bones instantly became relaxed.

A trace of joy flashed across his eyes. Zhuowen immediately sat down cross-legged with his palms facing the sky. He quickly absorbed the vigorous medicinal effects contained within the Qi Boosting Elixir.

After an hour, Zhuowen slowly opened his eyes. There was a trace of joy in his gaze. He did not expect that in this short period of time, the Yuan Power in his body that was almost depleted to recover by more than half.

It seemed that the Qi Boosting Elixir's effects were indeed much better than the Fire Dragon Elixir. Furthermore, Zhuowen could feel that the Yuan Power in his body had increased slightly. It seemed that using the Jade Cauldron Soul Armor to refine pills could also increase the Yuan Power in his body. After all, the Jade Cauldron Soul Armor's continuous absorption of the Yuan Power in his body could also temper the Yuan Power in his body and promote the growth of his Yuan Power.

Time gradually passed and another month had passed. During this month, Zhuowen had been in the cultivation room. Other than cultivating, he had been refining pills.

After ten refinements, the Yuan Core in the Jade Cauldron had finally exhausted its energy and shattered into powder. After these ten refinements, Zhuowen had refined nearly a hundred Qi Boosting Elixirs. This amount of Qi Boosting Elixirs was enough for Zhuowen to use for several months.

Other than the Qi Boosting Elixirs, Zhuowen had also refined a bottle of Spirit Cleansing Elixirs. After taking a few Spirit Cleansing Elixirs, Zhuowen could clearly feel that the remnant resentment that had been bothering him in the Blood Essence Elixir had completely disappeared.

Furthermore, with the help of the Qi Boosting Elixirs, Zhuowen's Yuan Power had increased extremely quickly in this month. Finally, he had successfully advanced to the Spirit Detecting Realm yesterday.

The greatest characteristic of the Spirit Detecting Realm was that the Armor Souls in the body would undergo a baptism and transform into new Soul Skills. Zhuowen currently had three Armor Souls in his body. They were the Giant Armor Soul, the Sword Shadow Armor Soul, and the mysterious Jade Cauldron Armor Soul.

After entering the Spirit Detecting Realm, the three Armor Souls had indeed undergone their own transformations. Among them, the Giant Armor Soul and the Sword Shadow Armor Soul both had a Soul Skill. After the baptism, the two Soul Skills had been strengthened by quite a bit.

Among them, the Giant Armor Soul's Soul Skill, "Giant", had the effect of increasing the power of the Armor Skill and Weapon by two levels. Now, it had become four levels.

The Sword Shadow Armor Soul's Soul Skill, "Ambush from Ten Sides", had also undergone a huge change. The ten Sword Shadows had actually become nine. Although the number had decreased, Zhuowen could feel that the surface of the nine Sword Shadows were suffused with a golden light. It was obvious that the nine Sword Shadows were now much stronger than before.

The name of "Ambush from Ten Sides" had also changed to "Worship of the Nine Directions". Feeling the huge changes brought about by the two Armor Souls, Zhuowen couldn't help but be wild with joy. He could feel that as long as he used these two Soul Skills, he would be able to block Zhuo Tian's all-out attack.

As for the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul, it was a little strange. Originally, the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul didn't have any Soul Skills. However, after Zhuowen had entered the Spirit Detecting Realm, the Jade Cauldron Armor Soul unexpectedly had a Soul Skill called "Undying Essence".

Zhuowen couldn't make head or tail of this Soul Skill. However, when he was cultivating, Zhuowen accidentally injured his arm. What surprised him was that the wound on his arm actually healed in an instant.

From then on, Zhuowen found out that the Undying Essence's Soul Skill could actually speed up the healing of injuries in the body. In other words, with this Soul Skill, Zhuowen would be able to heal faster if two people suffered the same injury. This would be a huge advantage when the two of them fought.

"No wonder the Soul Skill has the name 'Undying' in it. In the future, this Soul Skill's ability will continue to increase as his realm increases. When that time comes, no matter how serious his injuries are, he will be able to instantly heal. Then, he can truly be considered as' Undying '!"

Zhuowen's face was also filled with pleasant surprise. The Jade Cauldron Armor Soul's Soul Skill was indeed extraordinary.

After being excited for a while, Zhuowen's heart calmed down a bit. Although Zhuowen had just entered the Spirit Detecting Realm, he still had a lot of trump cards in his hands. Zhuowen believed that even a peak Spirit Detecting Realm martial artist might not be his match. He even felt that he could fight against a Soul Transformation Realm martial artist.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the cultivation room. The sound of the knock was quite urgent.

Slightly frowning, Zhuowen casually said, "Come in!"

Creak.

The door opened, and a rather flustered figure rushed into the room. When this figure saw Zhuo Wen's figure, his footsteps immediately quickened.

"Young Master!

Something bad has happened! "The person who came was the housekeeper of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion, Liu Tao. At this moment, Liu Tao's face was covered in dust.

"What happened?

Why are you so flustered? "

Zhuowen lightly shouted. His voice was mixed with a trace of origin energy, causing Liu Tao to stop in his tracks.

Liu Tao's face immediately revealed a shocked expression. He also felt the powerful strength in Zhuowen's voice. It seemed that his master's strength had increased again in these short two months.

Respectfully cupping his hands, Liu Tao said with a bit of hesitation, "The Pavilion Master of the Black Dragon Pavilion, Zhuo Tian, has successfully broken through to the Soul Transformation Realm a few days ago. Moreover, Zhuo Tian has spread the word that in a month's competition, he will make you suffer a crushing defeat in front of everyone. Moreover, he will take revenge on the day of the competition!"

Zhuowen was slightly startled, but his face didn't reveal too much of an expression. It was clear that he had already expected Zhuo Tian to break through in these three months.

"Right now, this matter has spread like wildfire in the inner courtyard. Many people are not optimistic about young master's chances!

Moreover, the hearts of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion's Veiled Dragon Guards have also begun to waver because of these rumors!

Most people believe that you are definitely not a match for Zhuo Tian, who has already reached the Soul Transformation Realm! "

A trace of hidden worry appeared on Liu Tao's face. He was the housekeeper of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion personally promoted by Zhuowen. His interests were already tied together with Zhuowen's. Zhuowen's glory and his loss were bound together.

If it wasn't for his relationship with Zhuowen, with his current strength of the Divine Valor Realm, he definitely wouldn't be able to become the housekeeper of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion. Because of this, many Veiled Dragon Guards were very unhappy with him. If Zhuowen really lost in a month's competition, then Zhuowen's prestige would greatly decrease.

At that time, even if Zhuowen was the master of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion, the unruly Veiled Dragon Guards would definitely not be so obedient to Zhuowen. Moreover, the Veiled Dragon Guards who were originally unhappy with Liu Tao would definitely think of ways to push Liu Tao down from the position of housekeeper.

Thinking of the consequences of Zhuowen's loss, Liu Tao's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He was extremely worried.

"Don't worry!

Since I can make Zhuo Tian lose once, then I can make him lose a second time. If you don't have anything else to say, then you can leave first!

I still need to continue my cultivation! "

Zhuowen faintly smiled. His body suddenly emitted a powerful aura. Feeling the powerful aura within Zhuowen's body, Liu Tao was slightly shocked. In his heart, he became even more respectful towards Zhuowen.

He knew that the master in front of him was extremely mysterious. He definitely had a lot of trump cards in his hands. Perhaps, he really could defeat Zhuo Tian in the competition a month later.

Looking at Liu Tao who was slowly retreating, Zhuowen's eyes flickered. With a flip of his right hand, a rusty piece of metal suddenly appeared in his palm.
