The soil was dug deeper and deeper, but nothing special was encountered. However, after releasing the soul power, he could feel that there was a huge rock in front of him that blocked his exploration.
After digging for an unknown period of time, Ye Yu, a three-star Dou Master, had used up more than half of his Dou Qi before he realized something was wrong, but he still couldn't find what was wrong. After taking out the Qi-recovering pill given by Bai Tianfa and swallowing it, he felt the abundant Dou Qi spreading in his body. Ye Yu was just about to continue to move in the direction sensed by his soul power.
"This is not right, kid, this place is not simple, maybe our soul power perception has been distorted."
Beast Master floated behind Ye Yu, and when Ye Yu was digging the tunnel, he was responsible for solidifying the tunnel to prevent collapse.
"Click!"
Not long after Beast Master finished speaking, the soil in front began to collapse, revealing a passage. Ye Yu hurried over and found that everything in the passage was very familiar.
"We rely on soul power to locate ourselves down here. The things hidden down there might have inadvertently distorted our perception, so we have been digging in the dirt in vain."
The Beast Master floated in the passage, and the blood-red firelight illuminated the passage blood-red.
Ye Yu tried to use his soul power again, but an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart. The hand holding the branch trembled, and he concentrated his fighting spirit and stabbed in one direction as if he was out of control.
"Boom!" The collapse of the soil scared Beast Master. The loud noise also made Ye Yu come back to his senses suddenly, and then he realized his "masterpiece" just now.
"What's wrong with you? No, your soul power is depleting so quickly."
Beast Master noticed something was wrong and hurriedly surrounded Ye Yu to check.
Ye Yu did not answer, but covered his head and leaned against the passage. In an instant, his soul power flowed in one direction. The action just now was the soul sending out a warning.
"Calm down and concentrate. My fire can block this evil thing!"
The Beast Master transformed into a wisp of flame and drilled into Ye Yu's dantian. Ye Yu supported his body with trembling hands and changed to sitting cross-legged. He closed his eyes and manipulated the fighting spirit mixed with the spiritual fire of all beasts into a fighting spirit gauze to wrap himself.
As the blood-red fighting spirit turned into a veil that covered his body, the drowsiness caused by the sudden loss of soul power was finally relieved. Ye Yu hurriedly got up and wanted to leave this strange place, but was stopped by Beast Master.
"Hmph! Don't go! This thing is not scary. If you are prepared in advance, your perception will not be distorted by it. Moreover, it absorbs soul power only for mortal souls. With my help, it will be destroyed directly! Don't you want to get your soul power back?"
Ye Yu believed Beast Master's words without hesitation. His body's soul force was no longer affected by the strange suction force as it was blocked by the Dou Qi gauze formed by the Wanshou Spirit Fire. He even had strands of pure soul force replenishing himself. This strange discovery surprised Ye Yu a little. How could soul force be replenished so easily!
"I am a mixture of soul impurities and blood impurities separated by the Great Emperor, but that is for the Dou Emperor. I am a great tonic for the Dou Sheng. You and the Great Emperor are from the same source, so I can naturally give you a little soul power in return. But this soul power is lent to you by me. I will take half of the soul power that is sucked away from you later!"
Sensing Ye Yu's thoughts, Shou Ye took the initiative to explain the reason to him, his tone full of pride.
"No wonder you have been treated as the holy fire and absorbed for so many years. It turns out that you have been sacrificing yourself for the benefit of others." Ye Yu touched the direction where the soul power was being sucked, teasing.
"Wait a minute, we're here, it seems to be just in front!" Shou Ye was angry, but before he could get angry, Ye Yu stopped him.
A huge rock appeared in front of the excavated passage. Ye Yu used his Dou Qi to smash the rock with his palm, but unexpectedly, the palm containing Dou Qi with a tremendous force only made the rock tremble.
"Thunder Palm!"
Ye Yu directly used the fighting skills. Under the amplification of the fighting skills, the boulder shattered with a loud bang, revealing a quiet room made of huge stones. The air was filled with the smell of stale dust.
The interior of the quiet room is plain and simple, built entirely with huge stones. On the cushion in the middle lies a pair of scattered bones that are not in human form, and next to it is a scroll of wooden slips emitting a faint glow.
Seeing Ye Yu coming in, the wooden slip kept flashing as if begging for mercy, but Ye Yu did not indulge it. His soul power was still floating on the wooden slip. He took the wooden slip in his hand and greedily absorbed Ye Yu's soul power. Fortunately, he kept his word and returned half of the soul power to Ye Yu.
After taking back the soul power, a blood-red flame ignited and wrapped the wooden slip. With a faint scream, the light on the wooden slip became soft.
Ye Yu then took off the Dou Qi gauze dress that wrapped him up and carefully examined the wooden slip.
"Hmm? The material of the soul-nourishing wood is still connected by the silk spun by the seventh-level iceberg snow silkworm."
Beast Master appeared and was surprised by the material before he even saw the contents of the wooden slip.
Soul-nourishing wood, Ye Yu was also a little surprised. This was not a certain kind of tree, but a treasure made artificially. The raw material was the trunk of the Soul Infant Fruit Tree, combined with many medicinal herbs that were beneficial to the soul.
The value of the Soul-Nourishing Wood lies in the trunk of the Soul Infant Fruit. Most people who encounter this kind of natural treasure choose to take the fruit and keep the tree. If you want to refine the Soul-Nourishing Wood, you must use the trunk. Branches cannot be used. This means that to refine the Soul-Nourishing Wood, you have to cut down a Soul Infant Tree that can produce precious natural treasures.
"It looks like this thing is not simple, Ye Yu, open it and take a look!"
Urged by Beast Master, Ye Yu couldn't wait to open it, but found some notes written in the wooden slips.
"The Soul Devouring Sutra is an ancient soul cultivation technique that can devour the original soul energy of the soul body... When I got this item, I was shocked to find that this method was extremely overbearing. Soul devouring requires soul nourishment, so I wrote a chapter on soul nourishment, which can nourish oneself and others..."
"It is a method of soul cultivation, but it is indeed against the harmony of nature. It is really weird to use other people's souls as firewood." Shouye couldn't help but sigh after reading it.
Ye Yu also felt regretful about this method of soul cultivation. This volume of the Soul-Devouring Sutra could cultivate the soul to the heavenly realm. It was an extremely precious method. Unfortunately, this method of cultivation was indeed against one's original intention.
Fortunately, the owner of the previous volume of the technique created an orthodox method of practicing the Soul-Nourishing Sutra that does not require devouring souls. The disadvantage is that it can only be practiced to the spiritual realm.
Ye Yu closed his eyes and immersed his mind in the wooden slip, trying to obtain the practice method of the "Soul Nourishing Sutra". Not long after, he opened his eyes. The owner of this scroll of exercises had no defense at all, and he could obtain it just by immersing his mind in it.
Speaking of cultivation methods, Xiao Yan also obtained two cultivation methods in Zhongzhou, one is the "Taiyi Soul Art" rewarded by the Alchemy Association, and the other is an incomplete nameless formula.
Ye Yu once tried to cultivate his soul by chanting the nameless formula, but unfortunately those three formulas had no effect at all.
Now that he had obtained a "Soul-Nourishing Sutra", Ye Yu couldn't wait to sit cross-legged and start practicing.
