Chapter 145 Spirit Realm
At night, the bright moon hangs above the dark sky, and the scattered silver light adds a bit of tranquility to the night.

In that newly created cave, while a hot breath continued to emanate, from time to time a rich elixir fragrance would surge out along with energy, making the surrounding plants grow much more luxuriant.

In the distant mountains, it was late at night, and the magical beasts active everywhere were extremely restless. The beasts roared together, and a tide of countless magical beasts surged through the mountains and forests.

Wherever the beast tide passed, trees fell, rocks shattered, and everything that stood in the way was destroyed by the angry beast tide.

In front of the beast tide, there were two figures that seemed extremely small compared to the overwhelming beast tide. Although their speed was not fast, they had steadily opened a safe distance from the beast tide behind them.
Secluded in the cave, the dim light and flickering fire remain unchanged, making the passage of time unnoticeable.

Time passed quickly and more than two months went by.

In the past two months, facing those two ghostly figures, the monsters living in the mountains went from being furious at the beginning to being helpless now.

The lying down of the monster also meant that Zi Yan sent more herbs, which supported Lin Yang’s consumption in studying alchemy.

At this moment in the cave, the blood-red furnace was sunken deep into the black stone ground.

Inside the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron, deep flames surged and dark cracks in the space continued to appear and then disappeared in an instant.

Even the scorching breath that emanated from time to time made the surrounding dark rocks appear to be melting into liquid.

As time passed, the essences of the numerous herbs in the fire cauldron gradually mixed and blended together. At the same time, the fragrance of the elixir gradually wafted up.

“砰
With a muffled sound, the black flame in the blood-red medicine cauldron suddenly fluctuated, and then suddenly disappeared, and a pool of black ashes quickly fell from it.

A moment later, the fragrance of the elixir that was just rising suddenly turned into black mist, and the strange smell instantly filled the entire cave.

“The difficulty of breaking the sect pill is indeed high.”

Looking at the herbal essence that turned to ashes, Lin Yang let out a long breath and said lightly.

Compared to the pain he felt when he failed to refine the material at the beginning, he has gotten used to it now.

Before in the Black Horn Region, he had collected a lot of main ingredients for the Po Zong Dan and Huang Ji Dan, but some auxiliary herbs were not collected completely.

Fortunately, the mountain range we are in now is large enough and remote enough. Over the past thousands of years, it has produced a large number of medicinal herbs, and their quality is not low.

For many medicinal herbs, even magical beasts dare not eat them raw and can only collect them. Therefore, the collections of magical beasts are extremely rich, and many with similar medicinal properties can be found.

And with Yao Lao, an eighth-grade master of alchemy, by his side, he can almost instantly deduce whether it is possible to replace the herbs in the original pill formula, and can even give an extraction method on the spot.

Not sticking to the pill formula is what Yao Lao most wants to teach Lin Yang.

A true master of alchemy refines the medicinal properties. As long as the medicinal properties are the same, the type of herbs is irrelevant. Only this kind of master of alchemy has the ability to create a completely new high-grade pill formula.

“Your heart has calmed down a lot since the beginning.”

Inside the Bone Inflammation Ring, Yao Lao sensed that Lin Yang was gradually regaining his composure, nodded with satisfaction, and then floated out, his soul appearing beside Lin Yang, and continued:

“It’s just that the flame in your body is too strong. If you were refining a seventh or eighth grade elixir, the strong flame would help extract the essence of the herbs. But you are only refining a sixth grade elixir, so you need to suppress its power.”

“.Otherwise, if there is just a slight mistake, all the herbs will turn to ashes, just like what happened just now.”

Yao Lao’s voice continued to sound, but Lin Yang did not react. In his eyes, the dim cave suddenly became extremely bright, and a tingling pain from the soul suddenly appeared.

“boom!”

In his mind, a light suddenly appeared, and the clean white light gradually spread until it covered his soul. Lin Yang’s body, who was sitting cross-legged in the outside world, also instantly fell backwards.

“Is this a breakthrough of the soul realm into the spirit realm?”

Seeing Lin Yang’s unusual behavior, Yao Lao’s continuous words suddenly stopped. The power of his soul surged out instantly. After sensing it, he spoke with some surprise.

Although Lin Yang’s soul power has reached the limit of the mortal realm after breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, he is close to breaking through to the spiritual realm.

But breaking through the spiritual realm is naturally not so easy. The soul power of many strong people is stuck at the peak of the mortal realm and cannot make any progress. Even every time a treasure that can help the soul power break through appears, it can set off a bloody storm.

Originally, Yao Lao thought that only when Lin Yang tried to refine the seventh-grade elixir could he take advantage of the huge pressure in it to break through the spiritual realm. He didn’t expect that he would break through so quickly.

“It seems that the failure of refining the Breaking Sect Pill just now was also caused by the warning brought by the soul’s impending breakthrough. This kid has only studied alchemy for a few years, and he has reached the level of a sixth-grade peak alchemist. He is really a genius.”

Sensing the soul power in Lin Yang’s body that was becoming stronger with the passage of time, many thoughts suddenly flashed through Yao Lao’s mind, and he whispered.

The faint sound echoed for a moment in the empty cave and then disappeared quietly.

At this moment, the white light inside Lin Yang’s body became brighter and brighter, and the illusory soul body wrapped in it also emitted a faint glow.

“Buzz!”

With a low muffled sound, the clean white light suddenly shone brightly, and bits of spiritual light broke out from it and merged into the illusory soul body inside, causing the soul body, whose aura was constantly rising, to gradually return to normal.

“break!”

A low roar suddenly sounded, and a force burst out from the fallen body. This force did not contain any fighting spirit, but it had already caused the surrounding rocks to tremble inexplicably.

“Boom! Boom! Boom”

An imperceptible sound spread, and an inexplicable wave continued to spread, first covering the mountain where Lin Yang was. After reaching the border of the mountain, it still showed no signs of decline and continued to expand rapidly.

Across the continuous mountains and dense forests, the inexplicable power is exactly the soul power of Lin Yang that has broken through to the spiritual realm.

At this moment, the soul power came to an abrupt halt after covering most of the continuous mountain range, and stopped its expansion.

Within the range covered by the soul power, scenes were perceived, transformed into numerous images, and transmitted to Lin Yang’s mind. Insects, loess, sandstone, and several monsters fighting each other caused large areas of forests to collapse and even burn into black ashes.
There was even a purple figure jumping and shuttling back and forth in some kind of mountains and forests in the distance, as well as the Skyfire Venerable, who, even though only his skeleton was left beside him, still revealed a look of helplessness.

As the soul power swept past, the skull of the Skyfire Venerable, which was covered with ghostly fire, suddenly lifted up.
A huge amount of information poured in at once, making Lin Yang dizzy and even causing a dull pain in his brow. He could only quickly cut off the transmission of most of the images before he could relax.

At the same time, the surging soul power from the outside world quietly dissipated. After stopping the investigation, Lin Yang’s mind probed into his own body and observed his soul for the first time after the breakthrough.

At this moment, in the soul, rays of light kept flowing, deep black light, deep brown light, dull blood red. All kinds of colorful lights appeared from the soul.

The aura that emanates from time to time, even if it is just a thought, is several times stronger than before the breakthrough!
“With such a large range and perception ability, the power of the soul is truly amazing. This spiritual realm can cover half of the continuous mountains. I wonder how large a range the emperor realm soul can cover.”

“Lin boy, your soul has broken through to the spiritual realm. The door to becoming an eighth-grade alchemist has been opened for you, but you are only a sixth-grade peak alchemist now.”

Seeing Lin Yang’s extremely uncomfortable look, Yao Lao also remembered how much effort he had put in to break through his soul to the spiritual realm. He couldn’t help but feel a little emotional and spoke in a faint voice.

“Spiritual Realm. It’s not difficult to say. After breaking through the high-level Dou Zun, there will always be one. But how many people are eighth-grade alchemists? The threshold is just a threshold after all.”

In response to Yao Lao’s words, Lin Yang just curled his lips and didn’t take it seriously.

“What I mean is, don’t you think it’s shameful to be only a sixth-grade alchemist with the soul power of the spiritual realm?”

Yao Lao’s face froze at Lin Yang’s words. As expected, he couldn’t say anything good to this kid. However, with the soul power of the spiritual realm, Lin Yang might be able to try to refine a seventh-grade elixir.

“Okay, Yao Lao, you don’t have to choke me. Refining medicine requires accumulation. I have been refining for several months and I am a little tired of it. Let me take a break for a while.”

Walking out of the cave slowly, facing the scorching sun rising above the sky and the dense forests at the bottom of the cliff, Lin Yang narrowed his eyes and said lightly:
“Besides, too much is as bad as too little. My soul power has just broken through and is not stable yet. It would be a waste of herbs to refine pills now. I plan to practice fighting skills for a while. I can try the Five-Whirl Fire Separation Method now.”

“boom!”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yang suddenly raised his arm, clenched his five fingers, and a low sonic boom sounded from the palm of his hand, while five hot lines of fire surged out from his fingertips.

The fire is deep and dark, but it contains different auras, the frivolous rise and fall of wind and fire, and the violent and endless earth fire.
“Roar! Ouch!”

A thin line of fire flashed out in an instant, and continued to grow stronger as it absorbed the energy of heaven and earth. A moment later, an inexplicable roar of a beast was heard.

“boom!”

The thick, pitch-black pillar of fire gradually took shape. After a series of neat sounds, five beast shapes emerged and stepped into the air.

They are exactly the five kinds of fire spirits of the Five-Wheel Fire Separation Technique, and they are five fire spirits composed entirely of strange fire!
The fire spirit stepped into the air, and an inexplicable fierce power permeated the sky. Ripples like water waves continued to spread around it, and the surrounding space began to vibrate violently under the power of the fire spirit.

“Formation!”

Sensing that the fire spirit’s aura had reached its peak, Lin Yang let out a low cry in his heart, and as the sound rang out, he crossed his palms and suddenly pushed the seal that had been prepared forward.

As the movement progressed, beams of light burst out from the fire spirit that exuded a fierce aura and connected together. In just a moment, a huge and intricate formation was drawn above the sky.

In the formation, when the energy flows, it tears open dense space cracks around it, almost turning it into a huge void.

After the formation was formed, Lin Yang did not rush to use the five spirits to attack. Instead, he closed his eyes, but his hands still maintained the output of black flames.

At the same time, Xiao Hei’s figure appeared on Lin Yang’s shoulder, his pair of dark eyes fixed on the five spirits in the sky.

“Buzz!”

It seemed that it had reached its limit. When the formation moved to a certain angle, it suddenly stopped and then shattered.

“boom!”

Following a huge explosion, the five spirits with different auras also exploded. The terrifying high temperature swept across the sky, causing the entire forest to tremble violently.

There was even a huge black hole left above the sky, which uprooted the trees at a great distance below and swallowed them up.
“Huh – after reaching the spiritual realm, I can finally split my mind into five spirits. It’s just that my soul power has just broken through, so it’s still a little active and not very stable.”

Although he failed again when trying to perform the complete Five-Wheel Fire Technique using five strange fires, Lin Yang let out a long sigh, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

“It’s no exaggeration to say that the might just now was a heavenly-level fighting skill. If you use your full strength, I’m afraid you can destroy half of the mountain in one breath.”

“I never thought that Tianhuo, as a Dou Zun, could actually create a heavenly-level fighting skill. Although the conditions for reaching the heavenly level are harsh, and only a freak like you can achieve it, it is enough to show his talent.”

“Lin, if you don’t want to waste herbs, you can use this method to polish the soul power that has just broken through, but it will make a lot of noise.”

Gazing at the flames that had not yet dissipated in the sky, Yao Lao’s eyes were full of admiration and he spoke in a deep voice.

“Okay, let’s continue polishing. We should leave now, or the monsters in this mountain range will have to seek external help.”

Lin Yang responded softly, and the tense expression on his face gradually relaxed.

Just now, during the exploration of the soul power that covered half of the mountain range, he also got a glimpse of some little secrets of the local beast king.

The scale of this mountain range is not large, even smaller than the Magic Beast Mountain Range of the Gama Empire. There are even only two sixth-level beast kings in it. The mountain range is divided into two sides, which do not invade each other.

At the beginning, Zi Yan came to plunder the medicinal herbs that were guarded or treasured by the monsters. When the two beast kings saw that they could not defeat the Skyfire Venerable who was protecting her, they hid and waited for the hateful plunderer to leave.

But now, months of continuous plundering have almost made them unable to bear it anymore, and they are even ready to send out Warcraft to seek external assistance.

Lin Yang didn’t have any intention of causing any trouble, but just now he used the power of his soul to give the fragile souls of the two beast kings a heavy blow, making them unconscious.

“However, since we are all leaving, it doesn’t matter if we make a little noise. By the way, we can also recruit Zi Yan and the others to come back. As for those beast kings, if they don’t have brains, I don’t recommend harvesting some useless magic cores.”

“Boom! Boom! Boom”

As he spoke in a deep voice, the sky was once again filled with violent heat. A fiery aura swept across the sky, and the fire spirits that kept flashing out galloped between heaven and earth.
