Ye Chen sat cross-legged on a jade bed made of white jade in the cultivation room, silently adjusting his condition...
A moment later, with a wave of his right hand, a huge jade stone appeared out of thin air and landed in front of him with a thud.
The Earth Core Jade Mother is a magical jade stone formed by the power of the earth over countless years. Its texture is extremely hard, and it is not easy to break it open and take out the Earth Core Essence inside.
Moreover, such a large piece of jade mother is very valuable in itself, and Ye Chen was reluctant to destroy it. Therefore, he could only dig a hole from below to release the earth core essence inside...
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen concentrated, raised his index and middle fingers together, and silver sparks instantly emerged, then, under Ye Chen's control, formed a sharp blade at his fingertips...
laugh!
The sharp fire blade pierced directly through the jade and, under Ye Chen's urging, continued to extend until it touched the white liquid inside.
Ye Chen's eyes were already filled with a dark and mysterious light, a testament to the fact that he had pushed his Eye of Truth to its limit...
The moment the fire blade touched the Earth's core essence, the little snake, which had been leisurely swimming in the white liquid, was suddenly startled. It then flicked its tongue at Ye Chen outside, looking fierce but actually cowardly, as if it were threatening him.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen had already seen through the little thing's true nature. As long as it wasn't let out, it would be a tiger locked in a cage, and a tiger cub at that, without any teeth...
Ignoring the little snake's anger, Ye Chen manipulated the fire blade to dig a fist-sized hole in the jade mother.
After the cylindrical jade mother was pulled out of the small hole, the milky white earth core essence immediately flowed into a one-foot-tall jade bottle that Ye Chen had prepared in advance.
Upon realizing Ye Chen's intentions, the little snake immediately bristled, its previously ethereal scales standing on end, making it appear considerably more ferocious...
"Hiss..."
The snake's cries penetrated Ye Chen's soul several times, and the little snake began to continuously attack the soul barrier that Ye Chen had set up.
Ye Chen ignored the little snake's meaning and continued to concentrate on the jade marrow slowly gathering in the jade bottle, then estimated how much soul liquid it could be mixed...
"Not bad, I estimate that only half of it will be enough to raise my soul power to the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm..."
Ye Chen pondered for a moment.
The Ye family has undergone tremendous changes thanks to its efforts over the past ten years. In terms of the family's own strength alone, in addition to the original four elders, two more Ye family members are now on their way to the seventh-grade alchemist realm.
Of course, none of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that Ye Zhong, the current eldest elder of the Ye family, has greatly improved his cultivation and alchemy skills in the years since he acquired the Sea Heart Flame.
When the grandfather and grandson last met, Ye Zhong was already a Seven-Star Dou Zong, a peak Seventh-Rank Alchemist. If he had the opportunity to reach the Spirit Realm Soul, the Ye family would definitely be able to produce another Eighth-Rank Alchemist!
"Grandpa's soul power has only just reached the peak of the mortal realm. If he wants to break through, in addition to external assistance, the guidance of soul secret techniques is also very important!"
Even Xiao Yan in the original novel, who had the aid of soul liquid that harmonized with the Earth Core Soul Marrow, only truly stepped into the Spirit Realm under the guidance of the Nameless Mantra. This shows just how important this secret method that can cultivate the soul is!
Unfortunately, although Ye Chen possessed...
The complete soul technique, but it belongs to the Pill Tower and cannot be passed on to outsiders. Even though Ye Zhong is also one of the eight elders of the Pill Tower, the only way to obtain the technique is by exchanging it with Xuan Kongzi, the president, through merit...
Private exchange of knowledge is an absolute taboo in any sect!
"Looks like I need to go out more often and see if I can get lucky and run into someone..."
Ye Chen felt helpless.
This approach is no less futile than waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump, but for the time being, he simply couldn't find a better way.
Of course, Ye Chen had also considered higher-level trade fairs, such as the space trade fair in the original novel where Xiao Yan obtained the fourth fragment of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame map...
However, with his current strength, even with his teacher guiding him, he might not be qualified to participate in that level of trade fair, so Ye Chen could only sigh in vain.
Moreover, he currently has very few Rank 8 pills, so if he encounters anything good there, he probably won't have enough to exchange for it.
With a helpless sigh, Ye Chen put those things that were still too far removed from his mind, then resealed the Earth Core Jade Mother that had been emptied, ignoring the enraged mysterious snake spirit, and stuffed it back into his Star Emblem Ring.
With a wave of his hand, two jade boxes appeared. Thus, the three items needed to harmonize the Earth's core essence were complete…
Of the three ingredients, Earth Core Soul Essence and Elixir Spirit Elixir can be directly prepared as long as the proportions are well controlled. As for Gastrodia Jade Essence, the stone essence within it needs to be extracted before it can be added to the preparation.
Refining was not a difficult task, especially for Ye Chen in his current state. With a wave of his hand, the green stone he had just obtained floated out and hovered in front of him.
Silver sparks spewed directly from its mouth, enveloping the entire essence of the Gastrodia Jade within them. Then, under Ye Chen's control, the flame temperature suddenly increased to an extremely high level...
In less than five minutes, cracks appeared on the surface of the Tianma Jadeite Essence, and a faint, extremely faint scent wafted out from it.
Seeing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly, flicked his finger, and a faint burst of energy struck the Tianma Jadeite Essence. With a snap, pieces of stone fell off, finally revealing the pale white slurry hidden within...
After preparing all the materials, Ye Chen remained expressionless, and with a flick of his hand, some exquisite jade bottles and utensils appeared in his hand.
Then, his soul power spread out, and with just a thought, each of the three ingredients released a tiny wisp of liquid, which all flowed into a transparent jade bowl.
"Chichi!"
The moment the three liquids intertwined, a faint mist erupted, and then, as if extremely hostile, they began to corrode each other, constantly releasing tiny bubbles upon contact…
As time passed, the liquid in the jade bowl gradually calmed down, and the liquid inside the jade bowl became clear and lush, with a faint fragrance wafting out.
Smelling the fragrance, Ye Chen knew that the blending was almost complete. With a gentle flick of his finger, a drop of stone essence slowly fell into the jade bowl again.
"laugh!"
As the drop of stone essence fell, wisps of smoke immediately filled the jade bowl, and what remained after the smoke cleared was a small bowl of viscous, jade-like liquid, brimming with vitality...

Chapter 266 Soul Enhancement, Target: Three Thousand Burning Flames
Ye Chen poured the prepared liquid into the jade bottle and continued his previous actions.
With so much Earth Core Soul Essence, judging by its volume, it's probably several hundred milliliters, right? If the subsequent blending goes smoothly, then Ye Chen's harvest this time will definitely be substantial...
And so, Ye Chen spent four or five hours finally completing the blending of the Earth Core Soul Essence. Two large bottles of the liquid were more than enough for this upgrade.
"Next comes the most important part..."
After all that effort, the outcome remains to be seen.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen raised the jade bottle, picked up a bottle and poured it into his mouth. With his head tilted back, nearly half of the Earth Core Soul Essence gurgled down his throat and flowed into his body...
The moment the Earth Core Soul Essence entered his body, Ye Chen felt his head buzz, and the soul power between his eyebrows suddenly expanded as if it had taken a catalyst!
The change happened so suddenly, and the expansion was so rapid that it caused a sharp pain in Ye Chen's brow, as if his head was about to explode!
"Holy crap! I've had too much to drink..."
This change startled Ye Chen, but he didn't panic. Instead, he quickly focused his energy to stabilize the surging soul power...
After a moment, Ye Chen finally stabilized his soul and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he began to focus on the changes within his body.
Under Ye Chen's mental influence, the harmonized Earth Core Essence, after flowing into his body, transformed directly into a scalding heat stream that dispersed and then rapidly evaporated into wisps of dark green, strange smoke that began to rise quickly...
The smoke passed through Ye Chen's body, reaching his forehead, and finally intertwined with the soul power residing there.
As the smoke intertwined with his soul, Ye Chen quickly sensed that a powerful and terrifyingly strange energy was rapidly seeping into his soul.
At the same time, his soul strength seemed to have been greatly enhanced, as if he had consumed some kind of powerful tonic, at a rate that shocked even Ye Chen himself!
"Is it really that effective?!"
Ye Chen watched this scene with some shock.
Such a terrifying growth rate, if it were placed on a mortal soul, would probably directly shatter its soul, right?
"How exactly did Xiao Yan in the original story manage to withstand such a terrifying impact, or was I just drunk before?"
Ye Chen felt this idea was a bit too far-fetched, since the current manifestation of the blended soul liquid was a qualitative difference, not a quantitative one...
Perhaps the only explanation is that the Earth Core Soul Essence that Ye Chen obtained is older than the one Xiao Yan obtained in the original story, and by a great deal of time. That's why it has such terrifying energy, which even a Spirit Realm Soul cultivator like him can't handle.
As his soul power rapidly increased, the throbbing pain between Ye Chen's brows grew stronger... though it was still within his tolerance. However, the splitting headache made him feel like he was in excruciating pain...
This pain lasted for an unknown period of time, until Ye Chen felt he was becoming somewhat numb, and finally...
winter!
It was as if someone had hit him hard on the head with a stick, and then a continuous stream of spiritual energy flowed into the space between his eyebrows.
Finally, it merged with the soul that resided there.
During this fusion, Ye Chen's soul felt as if it were enveloped in warm spiritual nectar. The warm spiritual energy quietly seeped into every part of his body, and the comfortable feeling made him almost groan out loud.
Reiki!
Although Ye Chen could clearly sense the spiritual energy permeating the surrounding air after advancing to the Spirit Realm Soul stage, he had never before fused with such a terrifying amount of spiritual energy, even when using the Soul Condensation Technique...
In an instant, Ye Chen felt a clarity in his mind he had never experienced before. Even without conscious effort, every slight change within a hundred meters of him was fully captured in his mind. He could even clearly perceive pedestrians walking through the passage in the distance...
You should know that all the training rooms in the Pill Tower are inscribed with arrays that block soul power!
"So this is the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm... Indeed, every advancement in the Soul Realm is a complete transformation for an alchemist, from the inside out!"
Standing up, Ye Chen showed no signs of fatigue from refining pills and cultivating. Instead, he looked refreshed and his eyes were bright and alert.
"With a soul realm at the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm, plus the battle qi cultivation of a five-star Dou Zong, I should be qualified to subdue those three thousand blazing flames, right?" Ye Chen thought to himself, his eyes flashing.
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate at all and quickly headed towards his teacher Xuan Kongzi's office.
Xuan Kongzi was also surprised to see his disciple again.
In just a few months, his disciple has made such a huge breakthrough; it's simply astonishing...
"Your soul realm has actually broken through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm. How could it be so fast?" Xuan Kongzi asked in surprise.
It's important to understand that cultivating the soul realm is different from cultivating battle qi. Even with secret techniques for soul cultivation, it still takes years of accumulation to advance even a minor realm.
Of course, there is another type, like Ye Chen, who obtains spiritual objects that can nourish the soul.
But are these kinds of things so easy to come by? You know, even a small bottle of the soul liquid that Ye Chen concocted could probably be sold to a high-level alchemist who would be willing to trade it for an eighth-grade pill!
"When I was being chased by the Soul Palace, I accidentally obtained a piece of Earth Core Jade Mother and extracted some Earth Core Soul Essence from it..." Ye Chen explained with a chuckle.
"Earth Core Soul Essence?!" Xuan Kongzi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim. "You little fellow, you really are incredibly lucky to have obtained such a spiritual item..."
"The soul liquid made from the essence of the earth's core is a truly potent tonic. If one had it, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm wouldn't be difficult."
"However, seeing you improving your cultivation and soul realm recently, what are you planning to do? Could it be that you were really frightened by the Soul Palace's previous actions and realized the importance of strength?"
Xuan Kongzi's last sentence had a slightly sarcastic tone, after all, his disciple was good at everything except for his lack of attention to cultivation of fighting spirit.
"That's part of the reason..." Ye Chen nodded directly and said, "However, teacher, I want to try to subdue the Three Thousand Blazing Flames. Please grant my request!"

Chapter 267 Re-entering the Starfield
Xuan Kongzi was actually a little unsure about Ye Chen's request.
He had witnessed the ferocity of the Three Thousand Burning Flames firsthand, and frankly, the probability of subduing it without waking it up was extremely small.
Ye Chen's only advantage is probably his abnormal affinity with star power, which might give the Three Thousand Burning Flames, born from the starry sky, a sense of closeness...
However, if this were a strange fire that had not fully awakened its intelligence, it would be an absolute advantage.
But the Three Thousand Burning Flames had been formed for countless years, and its intelligence was in no way inferior to that of humans. It was unlikely that it would willingly submit just because of such a little bit of affinity...
Everything still depends on Ye Chen's fate!
Knowing that his disciple was determined, Xuan Kongzi did not stop him, but agreed.
However, before that, it is essential to make thorough preparations to prevent injuries or fatalities should an unexpected event occur...
"Let's go. This time, I will personally accompany you," Xuan Kongzi said with a light laugh, looking at his disciple. "However, you must remember to act within your capabilities!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart and nodded.
Having returned to the star field, Ye Chen was already quite familiar with the place.
What he didn't expect was that in just a few years, the starlight in this star field had become so much denser, which seemed rather abnormal...
Xuan Kongzi also noticed his disciple's strange fire and explained, "After the two previous riots, the star field's ability to isolate itself from external star power has weakened considerably, which is why you see these condensed starlight."
I had already discussed with your Uncle Xuanyi and the others that if we couldn't find someone who could subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames, we would offer it as a reward at the next Pill Gathering...
With all the genius alchemists on the continent gathered together, surely one of them could subdue this beast.
Of course, there is another very important point.
That means that those who make it into the top ten of the Pill Gathering can directly join the Pill Tower, and the champion of the Pill Gathering is qualified to become a candidate for a Pill Tower giant. With the addition of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, it is possible that not only can the problem of the strange fire eruption be solved, but the Pill Tower can also recruit another powerful alchemist. It is a win-win situation, so the Pill Tower is not at a loss...
"The Dan Conference?" Ye Chen's eyes flashed, and he said calmly, "I'm quite looking forward to it. I wonder how many noteworthy opponents will emerge!"
