With the assurance of Dan Liquid, Xu Feng's cultivation accelerated once again.
In the mountains, flowers bloomed and withered, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.
Xu Feng's Yuan Ying within the Golden Core grew increasingly robust, expanding from the size of a fingertip to that of a fist, occupying more than half of the Golden Core's capacity. The inner wall of the Golden Core was also being compressed more and more.
The appetite of Yuan Ying increased significantly, and Xu Feng's frequency of Alchemy also rose, ultimately forcing him to refine once a month. This was equivalent to consuming a vat of spiritual liquid every ten days. Such frequent Alchemy sessions somewhat affected Xu Feng's cultivation, causing the growth of Yuan Ying to slow down.
Xu Feng stepped out of his cave, preparing to carve another stone vat.
"Xu Feng." Zhou Yu stood quietly nearby. After several visits, she finally saw Xu Feng this time, but she was not as fiery as before.
"Hello, Senior Zhou." Xu Feng felt quite troubled by Zhou Yu and dared not show any disrespect.
Zhou Yu said, "I brought you some elixirs. You received the previous bottles, right?" She tossed a bottle of elixir to Xu Feng. "Also, don't call me senior anymore; just call me Zhou Yu."
Xu Feng caught the elixir thrown at him. He didn't notice whether Zhou Yu's face turned red or not. "I've kept all the previous elixirs safe. Thank you, Big Sister. Thank you, Zhou Yu."
Zhou Yu asked some questions about cultivation, and Xu Feng answered them one by one. Zhou Yu praised Xu Feng for his rapid progress and shared some insights on advancing to Yuan Ying, which were somewhat helpful to Xu Feng.
In the end, Zhou Yu presented a piece of black armor to Xu Feng and said, "This armor is called Pay Attention. It is made from an entire Xuan Tie Mu mixed with some other ores. It is a Supreme Treasure that Big Sister has given to you." At this point, Zhou Yu's expression darkened, her tone became weaker, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Xu Feng sensed that there must be some reason behind this but did not dare to ask further. He simply said, "Xu Feng is unworthy of such kindness from Big Sister. Thank you very much, Big Sister. Thank you, Zhou Yu."
Zhou Yu sighed softly and said, "Big Sister, Xuan Tie Mu originally belonged to you. Now that it has returned to its rightful owner, there's nothing wrong with that. I hope you will remember the kindness of the Xu family when you achieve success in your cultivation because of this exquisite armor."
"Xu Feng dares not forget."
Zhou Yu sent out the Pay Attention Armor and, without lingering, descended the mountain alone. Her figure trembled in the wind, though it was unclear whether it was due to the stones or some other reason.
Xu Feng had spoken with Jin Lema and knew a bit about Xu Ruchu. This Mind Armor, judging by its name, should have been crafted by Xu Ruchu for Shen Qian, yet it ended up in Xu Feng's hands. Looking at Zhou Yu's expression, Xu Feng could easily guess what had happened.
The Mind Armor consumed an entire Xuan Tie Mu; it was unknown which Refiner Xu Ruchu had hired to transform the Mind Armor into a Supreme Treasure. The Xuan Tie Mu was highly flexible, and once refined, it became nearly impervious to fire and weapons.
Currently, Xu Feng wore the Superior Magical Artifact Lingxi Armor, which was of a lower quality than the Mind Armor, particularly in terms of impact resistance and self-repair capabilities. With this exquisite Mind Armor and Xu Feng's exceptionally strong Five Elements Body, no one below the Divine Separation Stage could pose a threat to her. Xu Feng could attack freely without needing to defend.
Having received money and resources from others, Xu Feng accepted Sister Xu's Mind Armor. It would be unreasonable not to work for the Xu family. Xu Ruchu gifted this Supreme Treasure to Xu Feng, a Golden Core Cultivator, clearly recognizing her potential demonstrated during the battle over the Xuan Tie Mu. Although she had a bad temper, she was no fool; she certainly did not believe that Xu Feng's Xuan Tie Mu was simply found.
The Supreme Treasure required a Yuan Ying level cultivator to fully activate; a Golden Core Stage cultivator could only utilize about seventy percent of the Mind Armor's power. By giving the Mind Armor to her, it was evident that Xu Ruchu had great confidence in Xu Feng's advancement to Yuan Ying.
Upon returning to her cave, Xu Feng did not immediately refine the Mind Armor but instead prepared two stone jars and spent some time creating five large jars of spiritual liquid before continuing her cultivation.
This time, Xu Feng used the spiritual liquid as a backup but initially utilized the red pearl given to her by A Qi. According to A Qi, this was transformed from the blood of a demon. Xu Feng had tried it herself; the spiritual energy within was incredibly powerful and pure. However, she wondered if it could withstand the consumption of her Yuan Ying. Regardless, if it could be used, it should not go to waste.
Holding the red pearl in her palm, Xu Feng sat on the Cold Jade Bed and resumed her cultivation.
Layers of spiritual energy enveloped the pearl as its energy was continuously drawn out at an increasing rate. The pearl showed no signs of depletion; instead, its spiritual energy grew denser and even seemed to push back against her efforts.
Fearing an accident, Xu Feng slowed her absorption speed. Unexpectedly, the pearl suddenly transformed into a mass of Spirit Light that invaded through her Meridian and entered her Dantian.
Incredible spiritual energy spread throughout her body like sunlight illuminating everything; as the Spirit Light invaded, it pushed aside her Golden Core located in the Dantian. Xu Feng felt as if she might explode.
"This is bad!" She attempted to expel the pearl but found herself powerless. The pearl moved suddenly and easily penetrated the outer wall of her Golden Core, merging with her Yuan Ying.
"It's over!" In an instant, Xu Feng lost all perception of her Yuan Ying. That bastard A Qi wouldn’t really give me demon blood, would he? This isn’t just any blood; this is clearly a soul with a Yuan Ying imprint.
Xu Feng was possessed.
Possession means losing control over one's body and becoming a puppet of another.
"A Qi, I hate you." Xu Feng helplessly closed his eyes, all his efforts turning to nothing in that moment, and his life was coming to an end.
Just when Xu Feng was in despair, the Yuan Ying within him regained its spiritual essence, connecting with his soul as if he had suddenly dozed off—power cut, power restored, disappearing and reappearing.
Xu Feng was overjoyed, enveloping the Yuan Ying with his consciousness, carefully examining it for any abnormalities.
The Spirit Light that had entered the Yuan Ying vanished, but Xu Feng's Yuan Ying became even stronger. In that brief moment of intrusion, the Yuan Ying actually grew larger, filling the entire golden core, pressing against the inner walls of the golden core from both the top and bottom, threatening to break through at any moment and transform into a true Yuan Ying Cultivator.
"How could this happen? What is that pearl? It's so powerful that it brought my Yuan Ying to the brink of a breakthrough with just a touch." Even more frightening was that the Yuan Ying showed no signs of calming down; Xu Feng could truly feel an endless power within the Yuan Ying still stimulating its growth.
The power within the Yuan Ying was no longer as fierce but nourished it instead. Xu Feng knew of its existence and could influence the movements of the Yuan Ying, yet he always felt a sense of losing control.
At this point, Xu Feng could not stop; whether it was a blessing or a curse would be determined by fate.
Xu Feng closed his eyes and absorbed the energy within the Yuan Ying to its maximum capacity, watching as it gradually grew stronger.
The five jars of spirit liquid in the cave emitted medicinal properties into the air. Over time, they were finally blown away by the wind, dissipating into the ground.
Zhou Yu would still come, bringing her elixirs and greetings. Her mood slowly improved as she emerged from Sister Xu's troubles. The Mind Armor meticulously crafted by Sister Xu failed to hold onto Shen Qian's heart; it was even rejected before reaching Shen Qian's hands, leaving Sister Xu in deep sadness.
Every ten years, Sister Xu had Zhou Yu deliver elixirs. "Sister Xu, some things are hard-won by others but given to me without a word. The treasures I painstakingly refined are quietly rejected by some..." Xu Feng was a good person, so he deserved kindness in return.
Zhou Yu did not know if Sister Xu was right; she only felt that Xu Feng should not be a bad person.
Mountain Flower Thank you Spring Red, it was too rushed. The gentle stream flows slowly, weaving through twenty years. In the blink of an eye, Xu Feng has been cultivating at North Eight Peaks for ninety-five years.
At that moment, North Eight Peaks seemed to be lightly tapped, the entire peak suddenly trembled, then returned to calm. A whirlpool formed in the air at the summit and drifted away into the distance.
Two guarding disciples of the Xu Family were chatting when they noticed movement in the mountains. One said, "Someone has advanced to Yuan Ying, but I wonder who it is?"
The other replied, "It's Xu Feng from North Eight Peaks. I helped him buy a magic treasure last time; he's a good person, very generous..." This person was the cultivator who had made money from Xu Feng last time; his only impression of Xu Feng was that he was wealthy and generous.
Shaoyang Mountain is where the High-Level Cultivators of the Xu family go into seclusion. Over a dozen Divine Separation Stage Cultivators have been born here, so an advancement like Xu Feng's from Nascent Soul Stage did not pique their interest.
The guarding disciple sent out a Messaging Talisman, spreading the news that someone at North Eight Peaks had advanced to Yuan Ying.
Inside the cave, Xu Feng was surrounded by a red glow, with a pile of dirt beneath him. After ninety-five years of relentless cultivation, he finally succeeded in advancing to become a Yuan Ying Cultivator.
His golden core shattered, and an extraordinary Yuan Ying emerged, its faint red eyes indicating its fiery nature. At the moment of emergence, Earthly Spirit Qi gathered around this newborn being, providing him with a baptism for his advancement.
After bathing in Spiritual Energy for nearly three hours, the energy within the cave gradually faded.
Opening his eyes, he radiated red light; his strength surged dramatically. Many laws of the earth were deeply imprinted in his mind, and numerous abilities and phenomena that he could not comprehend before were now resolved one by one.
With the breaking of his core into an infant form, he truly possessed a body no longer bound by mortality. His consciousness merged with the Yuan Ying, and as long as the Yuan Ying remained undying, he could reincarnate anew.
Just as Xu Feng was about to exit the cave to test his abilities, he suddenly collapsed and nearly coughed up blood.
Next to his own Yuan Ying, there sat another equally sized Yuan Ying, a dual Yuan Ying!
This second Yuan Ying looked completely different from Xu Feng's original; it had a straight nose and square mouth, broad forehead and long eyes—bearing an imperial visage. Xu Feng could not sense its thoughts at all; this was a Yuan Ying that did not belong to him!
The only fortunate thing is that this Strange Nascent Soul has no malice towards Xu Feng. On the contrary, it emits a special energy that greatly benefits Xu Feng's Nascent Soul. Of course, there is no free lunch; the Strange Nascent Soul also absorbs spiritual power from Xu Feng's Nascent Soul. However, after each absorption, it returns the energy to Xu Feng.
The two Nascent Souls actually complement each other and provide mutual support.
Xu Feng struggled to get up from the ground and asked with difficulty, "Who are you?"
The Nascent Soul remained silent, seemingly unable to hear Xu Feng's voice.
"Alright, it's my fault for asking. Please don't kill me." A strange sense of fear arose in Xu Feng's heart. This was an entity he could not perceive at all, yet it was clearly within him; anyone would be afraid in such a situation.
The Strange Nascent Soul, which had been keeping its eyes closed, suddenly spoke. Upon hearing it, Xu Feng nearly collapsed again.
"I will not harm you; you are my eyes..."
