第五卷 天云十二州 第一千零二十五章 魔婴升级的方法

Half an hour later, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and regained a composed demeanor. Since he hadn't engaged in combat, the loss of cultivation essence was minimal, and soon he returned to his peak state.

Turning around, this place appeared to be quite remote, with few people venturing here within a hundred miles. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any spirit vein, but it would still make for an excellent choice if one wanted to cultivate here. Lin Xuan hesitated briefly before rising from the ground and flying towards a nearby small mountain.

"Master, do you plan on establishing a cave dwelling here?" Mo'er's delicate face showed surprise.

"Why not?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.

"You must think this through carefully; it’s an area where spirit energy is scarce," she replied.

"I understand. But what difference does that make? I didn’t say I would stay here for long. I just need to absorb the benefits from my travels in Cloud Ridge Mountain."

After experiencing numerous changes, Lin Xuan ultimately abandoned his initial quest for a territory. After all, cultivating one's strength wasn't something that could be achieved overnight. His recent journey through Cloud Ridge Mountain had yielded many benefits, and he was particularly satisfied with the broken sword he obtained; it was an artifact of supreme power if he could control it well enough to face Princess Crescent Moon again.

Hearing this, Mo'er nodded and didn’t say anything more. Lin Xuan then stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers several times, causing a few streaks of green light to appear. The lights rapidly grew in size and fiercely sliced forward. Establishing a cave dwelling was something Lin Xuan had done many times before; it took only half a cup of tea for him to complete the task.

Although the cave was somewhat simple, it was spacious enough. Lin Xuan’s face showed satisfaction as he tapped his storage pouch, taking out an array of flags.

After setting up these flags and commanding the Corpse Demon and the Armored Pangolin to guard them, Lin Xuan began to perform a soul probing technique...

A cup of tea later, Lin Xuan retracted his hand with a slight frown. "What’s wrong, Master? Didn’t you find any method for the Magic Embryo to advance?"

"Yes... but..." Lin Xuan hesitated.

"Really? Then why are you so worried?" Mo'er asked, her face showing concern.

Lin Xuan sighed softly; she didn't understand the complexity of the Magic Embryo Technique. The original creator was a genius, but his spirit root wasn’t particularly good. Since there was no hope for condensing an actual embryo, he had devised this substitute technique. A Magic Embryo existed between a true embryo and a physical one, so advancing it? Forget about it.

Initially, the Magic Embryo Technique had been passed down through many high-ranking cultivators before its flaws became apparent—no advancement possible. Clever individuals attempted to refine the techniques, hoping that the Magic Embryos could become similar to actual second embryos.

The process was fraught with difficulties, but after countless predecessors’ explorations, there were some tangible results. However, it wasn’t easy; the transformation required a complex process involving medicinal stones and a special array. First, he had to take a Transcendence Pill, then set up an array to re-cultivate the Magic Embryo over eighty-one days.

Although this seemed short, it was incredibly arduous. Every moment felt like walking on a hot blade or being plunged into boiling oil. Even veteran spirit cultivators found it difficult to endure; one needed extraordinary willpower.

Lin Xuan’s expression changed briefly but quickly returned to normal. After all these years of cultivation, he had endured enough hardships. Drawing out the soul and refining it was nothing compared to what he had already gone through. "Heaven wants to give a great responsibility to someone, so it must first test their resolve," he said.

Next came the formula for the Transcendence Pill. The ingredients were rare but not impossible to find; with some time, he could definitely obtain them.

Many ancient cultivators managed these two steps. After all, reaching the spirit embryo stage required a strong mind and body. Compared to the benefits this technique would bring, enduring some hardship was nothing.

However, only three individuals in history had successfully transformed their Magic Embryos due to the need for setting up an array during the refinement process.

The array wasn’t complicated, but its activation conditions were extremely stringent; it required two top-grade crystal stones.

Top-grade crystal stones were rare even in the spirit realm. Cultivation resources on Earth were insufficient, and even veteran spirit cultivators might not have them, let alone two. This was a tall order.

However, fate seemed to favor Lin Xuan; he had obtained five such stones from an ancient cultivator’s cave dwelling in Cloud Ridge Mountain. For him, this difficulty could be easily bypassed.

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and tapped his storage pouch, taking out an empty jade scroll. He recorded the information gleaned during the soul probing on it. Although cultivators had excellent memories, he still wrote down everything for added security.

If nothing went wrong, the隐患 of not being able to upgrade the Magic Embryo could be resolved. According to the ancient cultivators, although refining a Magic Embryo was arduous, its benefits were significant. The refined Magic Embryo Technique’s power did not fall short of that of a second spirit embryo and might even surpass it.

"Mo'er," Lin Xuan called out.

"Mmm?" A bright light appeared, revealing a charming young woman.

"Master, what do you need?"

"You don’t have to say anything; we already know. Extract the essence of the Blood Demon and seal it in the Beast Soul Flag. As for this spirit embryo, it’s beneficial for the Corpse Demon. Let it eat it," Lin Xuan instructed.

"Yes," Mo'er nodded and used a green light to encase the Blood Demon's spirit embryo. She then walked out of the training room.

Lin Xuan looked at her retreating figure with a hint of pity in his eyes: "Mo'er… Master, do you have any other instructions?"

The young woman stopped walking and smiled sweetly. "Silly girl, stop forcing a smile; I know your mood hasn’t been good since failing to condense the embryo. Don’t worry; once this matter is resolved, even if it means going to heaven or hell, I will find a way to help you condense an embryo."
