Chapter 574 Refining the Ice Vein Heaven-Molding Pill (Spiritual Object)

Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) fell silent. With the Eldritch Abyss Cataclysm now less than 3 100 years away, it was indeed crucial to enhance her cultivation realm as soon as possible.

At this thought, she recalled the 100 positions described in the Dual Cultivation of Yin and Yang. An inexplicable thrill surged through her, igniting a desire to experiment. With a coy hum, she murmured, "Consider this your lucky day."

Eldrin (Person Name) fell silent, thinking to himself that he truly had no idea which female lust demon was getting such an undeserved advantage.

Suppressing his thoughts, he composed his mind and said, "It is unwise for us to linger here. Let us gather the treasures and depart."

"Good."

Lila nodded, then activated the Ice Soul Condensing Jade Tower's formation, beginning to plunder the treasures within the ancient ruins.

The ruins of the Ice Snow Pavilion had been submerged for over 8 1000 years. Having been secretly explored by cultivators numerous times, few treasures remained within.

Fortunately, Lila had received the legacy, allowing her to clearly know how many treasures remained.

As she personally led the 2 to ransack the place, they soon discovered several ancient scrolls from the Scripture Repository and retrieved a single Tianshan Snow Lotus from the dilapidated spirit herb garden.

In addition, they ventured into the subterranean ice veins, where they discovered 2 Ice Vein Spirit Jades and 3 Frost Soul Profound Crystals.

Among these treasures, the Tianshan Snow Lotus was a fifth-grade superior spiritual herb. It could be used not only for artifact refinement but also for alchemical purposes. However, given Eldrin's current proficiency in alchemy, he was still unable to utilize it, nor did he possess a suitable pill recipe. Thus, he could only store it away for the time being.

The Ice Vein Spirit Jade is a miraculous treasure born from subterranean ice veins, potent enough to assist ice-aligned cultivators in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. It can also be refined into the Ice Vein Heaven-Molding Pill (Spiritual Object) to help Lila (Person Name) condense and refine her spiritual power.

The final Ice Soul Crystal was a heaven-and-earth treasure of the ice element, capable of serving as premium material for forging ice-attribute flying swords and magical treasures.

"Alas, there is no Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root)."

After scavenging all the treasures, Lila (Person Name) remarked with some regret,

The damage to this subterranean ice vein had rendered it incapable of nurturing any more Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root), filling her with profound disappointment.

"Don't worry, I still possess 1 strand of Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root)." Eldrin spoke calmly before continuing, "Let us depart first. I shall assist your breakthrough after we return."

"Good."

The 3 of them stored away the treasures, then soared upward from the subterranean glacier.

No sooner had he emerged from the underground than Eldrin spotted a dazzling stream of light shooting toward him—it was actually a black-gold ritual blade.

Not only that, but countless dazzling streams of light shot forth, as a multitude of magical treasures and supernatural powers descended with overwhelming killing intent to suppress everything.

Clang—

Eldrin expanded the Earthen Sovereign Bell, blocking the onslaught of attacks before scanning his surroundings. He realized there were a full 6 or 7 Nascent Soul realm demon emperors surrounding him—including 2 powerful Nascent Soul, Mid Stage demon emperors.

"Do not linger."

Lyra spoke, "We do not fear these few Demon Emperors, but I worry that if we become entangled, even stronger Demon Emperors might come to hunt us down."

At this thought, Eldrin nodded and said, "Come, stand behind me."

As his voice faded, he summoned the Yin-Yang Void Mirror, instantly tearing through the void with the 3 companions in tow.

After advancing to a mid-grade spirit treasure, the Yin Yang Void Mirror’s power doubled compared to when it was a low-grade spirit treasure, capable of instantly traversing 2 100 1000 li through the void.

The 3 of them instantly fled hundreds of thousands of miles away, leaving a group of Nascent Soul yao huangs utterly stunned.

"After them."

Watching the 3 escape, the Snow Roc Demon Emperor roared in fury as a dozen Nascent Soul demon emperors frantically gave chase.

Eldrin soared through the skies on his sword, carrying 3 companions toward the Heavenly Mountains. Along the way, countless Demon Emperors caught wind of their trail and gave chase.

Among them was even a powerful demon emperor at the late Yuanying stage. However, with the Yin-Yang Void Mirror in hand, the group repeatedly managed to create distance and ultimately fled into the territory of the human race.

To the human race, the Demon Emperor's entire body is a trove of treasures. Should 1 venture alone deep into human territory, just as Eldrin and others were hunted by the Demon Emperors, they too would face joint pursuit by the human True Monarchs. Naturally, none would dare to rashly cross into such domains.

Upon returning to Ice Soul Mountain, Eldrin frowned at the sight before him and remarked, "Given the spiritual energy here at Ice Soul Mountain, I fear it may not be sufficient to assist you in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Then let us head to Tengyun Mountain." Lila declared, continuing, "That Tengyun has seized a fifth-grade spirit vein, which shall now aid me in forging my Heaven-Dao Nascent Soul."

"Let us set forth."

Lila had no precious spiritual items left at the Frostpeak Mountain. After packing her meager belongings, she gazed at her 2 disciples and said, "When this master departs now, I'm afraid I shall never return."

"Will you follow your master and depart, or remain upon this Icy Soul Mountain to continue your cultivation?"

Lin Xueqiong and Su Muwang exchanged a glance, their hearts flickering with delight.

Now that 2 Nascent Soul True Lords from our master's clan had arrived, it was clear they represented an immensely prestigious power. Was there even a choice to make about staying or leaving?

The 2 promptly dropped to their knees and declared in unison, "We were raised by our master since childhood. It is only natural we remain by your side to serve."

"Then let us journey together."

Eldrin declared, summoning his treasure ark to carry the party toward Soaring Cloud Mountain.

Tengyun Mountain lay beyond the Heavenly Mountains, over 10 million li from Ice Soul Mountain. The Sky Crane Treasure Vessel was of insufficient grade, and even with Eldrin channeling his True Monarch cultivation to propel it forward, the journey still took a full 10 days.

Upon arriving at Mount Tengyun, Eldrin immediately set about seizing the mountain.

Tengyun Mountain was once the sacred peak of the Demon Emperor, but it had been seized by Tengyun the Cloudrider (Person Name) not long ago. Without even a fifth-tier defensive formation deployed, the mountain fell effortlessly to the group's assault.

After seizing the Spirit Mountain, Eldrin immediately executed all of Tengyun the Cloudrider's disciples and disbanded his concubines. He then began refining the Ice Vein Heaven-Molding Pill for Lila.

Eldrin had long since obtained the refinement method for the 5 Meridians Heaven-Forging Pill. This Ice Vein Heaven-Molding Pill was merely a variant of the 5 Meridians Heaven-Forging Pill, requiring only minor adjustments during the refinement process.

This Ice Vein Heaven-Molding Pill (Spiritual Object) was a unique fifth-grade elixir. Unlike ordinary pills which yielded 10 per cauldron, a single piece of Ice Vein Treasure Jade could only refine 1 precious pill. Yet within this pill resided the entirety of its medicinal potency.

Eldrin feared the refinement might fail, so he sought out Lyra to assist in the process. After toiling for a full year, they finally succeeded in crafting the Ice Vein Heaven-Molding Pill.

After its successful refinement, Eldrin handed the Ice Vein Heaven-Molding Pill to Lila, his face glowing with delight as he said, "Once you obtain this pill, refine and absorb its energies at the earliest opportunity."

"Hmm."

A look of delight crossed Lila's face. To break through to the Heavenly Path Nascent Soul realm, aside from harnessing the energies of heaven and earth, she had to overcome 3 great trials: the Trial of Magical Power, the Trial of Inner Demons, and the Trial of Heavenly Lightning.

Now that the inner demon tribulation had been resolved with the fulfillment of her deepest wish, and with the superior defensive spirit treasure 'Frostjade Pagoda' in her possession to withstand the lightning tribulation, she had nothing left to fear.

Only the barrier of spiritual power was the key obstacle preventing her breakthrough. This Ice Vein Heaven-Molding Pill (Spiritual Object) could reshape her meridians and temper her spiritual energy to meet the standard required for refining the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root).

At this thought, she couldn't resist planting a kiss on Eldrin's cheek before hastily darting into her secluded cultivation chamber.

Eldrin wiped his face, only then noticing Lyra standing nearby, her gaze fixed on him with fierce intensity.

Realizing something was amiss, he quickly gathered her into his embrace and coaxed, "Don’t be angry, my lady. Shall we delve into the Dual Cultivation of Yin and Yang?"
