The Wanbao Ningqi Jue condensed the alchemy furnace and fell to the ground.
He opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, threw a soul cage sphere inside, and then withdrew the soul cage, leaving only the anomaly trapped within the furnace.
Lin Yu released the Soul Refining Technique.
Refine!
A ball of soul fire was tossed under the alchemy furnace.
Immediately, bursts of roaring sounds came from within the alchemy furnace.
The sounds were shrill and chilling.
Increase the fire!
Lin Yu tossed another ball of soul fire. This time, the anomaly within the alchemy furnace screamed even louder.
However, fortunately, such sounds could not be heard by ordinary people.
No one else was disturbed, only Bai Xiaosa frowned, as if having a nightmare.
Lin Yu did not hesitate and tossed another ball of soul fire.
As the three balls of soul fire were refined, wisps of black smoke began to drift from the top of the alchemy furnace. This was the impurity within the anomalous soul body, now being refined and expelled by the soul fire.
As the black smoke dissipated, a soul phantom in the shape of a saber-toothed tiger appeared above the alchemy furnace.
However, this phantom only appeared for a moment before vanishing into smoke, seemingly the form of the anomaly in life.
This was the soul of a saber-toothed tiger, which had somehow turned into an anomaly?
After a while.
A system prompt sounded in Lin Yu's mind.
"Ding, killed Saber-toothed Tiger Ghost (Tier 1), upgrade points +300!"
So many?
Lin Yu was astonished. The upgrade points from this anomaly were twice as many as from a living being.
It seemed necessary to kill more anomalies in this world.
Lin Yu's face lit up with joy. He looked down at the three soul pearls that appeared in the alchemy furnace. He picked one up and examined it in his palm.
"This is a soul pearl, containing pure soul power. Only one can be consumed per month. However, I can only refine Tier 1 soul pearls now."
"I wonder how much soul power it will enhance?"
"Soul power, which is the foundation of mental power. As long as the soul is strengthened, my clone's control range will continue to expand!"
"For me, this thing is too important!"
However, he hesitated and did not swallow the soul pearl directly.
Suddenly, he saw his clone guarding the corner.
"The clone has no soul, I wonder if it can be used?"
"Forget it, let's try it!"
"Hope there are no side effects."
Lin Yu gave one soul pearl to each of his two clones and had them consume it.
Clones are energy bodies, without flesh and blood tissues.
However, soul pearls did not react with flesh and blood.
Lin Yu's consciousness entered one of the clones.
After a long time, he found that a trace of mental power had been generated in the clone.
"Is this the rhythm of awakening the soul?" Lin Yu thought to himself.
But in the next moment, this mental power dissipated on its own.
Without a soul, mental power is like a rootless duckweed.
The other clone that consumed the soul pearl was in the same situation.
"It seems the tier of the soul pearl is too low."
"No side effects, eat one." Lin Yu picked up the last soul pearl and ate it.
Immediately, a stream of pure soul energy surged into his mind and stopped outside the soul dome.
Lin Yu moved his will, and the soul dome opened a crack. This soul energy then seeped into his sea of consciousness through the gap.
At this moment, above the giant planet representing the clone's talent in the center of his sea of consciousness, a miniature version of Lin Yu was closing his eyes, curled up.
Suddenly, streams of pure soul energy poured into this little figure.
The little figure did not open its eyes, but instinctively opened its mouth, sucking in soul energy like an infant.
As soul energy entered his soul, his soul power continuously increased.
Soon, this feeling of strengthening disappeared.
Lin Yu came back to his senses, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
"Tier 1 soul pearls are still too weak, only increasing soul power by one percent!"
"My clone's control range has now expanded by fifty meters."
"This is a good start."
"Now that everything is ready, the next step is to improve my strength and main talent: clones."
"Reach Tier 6 as soon as possible, and upgrade the talent to SS level!"
"The upgrade points from killing anomalies are unexpectedly high, hehe."
Glancing at the sky, there was still some time before dawn. Lin Yu once again performed the Soul Refining Technique.
He had intended to let his clone use the Soul Refining Technique, but unfortunately, the clone had no soul and could not use soul fire, so he had to refine it himself.
Time flowed slowly.
"Ding, you killed Long Hair Ghost (Tier 2), upgrade points +700!"
"Ding, you killed Soul Thorn Ghost (Tier 3), upgrade points +5000!"
"Ding, you killed Black Shadow Ghost (Tier 3), upgrade points +3900."
".........."
Dozens of anomalies were refined into soul pearls.
After a long time, Lin Yu felt a little tired. He rubbed his temples and looked out the window.
Daybreak!
He looked at the more than a hundred soul pearls in his hand, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
"These soul pearls are enough for me to eat for several years. These are only Tier 1 soul pearls. The tier is a bit low, I should try to refine more, see if I can refine Tier 2 soul pearls."
The Soul Refining Technique, to put it simply, was a different kind of alchemy.
Lin Yu had been unable to refine Tier 2 soul pearls, and he felt it was also related to his alchemy skill only being Tier 1.
"I obtained Master Yun's alchemy insights last time, but I haven't had time to study them yet. When I have time, I should try to study them and see if I can improve my alchemy skill level."
At this moment, Lin Fan woke up.
He was groggy, raised his arm, and then weakly let it fall.
With a plop, it landed directly on Bai Xiaosa's face.
"Ah~"
Bai Xiaosa woke up in pain. Seeing Lin Fan's arm, he bit down.
"Ah!"
This time it was Lin Fan's turn to scream.
"Let go, are you a dog?"
"You ruined my beautiful dream right at its climax, you owe me my beautiful dream."
"It must have been a spring dream, waking you up was for your own good!"
"I don't want you to be good for me, compensate me for my dream."
"Can't compensate!"
"I'll bite you to death."
Lin Yu watched the two of them bicker, patted the bed, and said:
"Alright, stop fooling around! It's dawn, and we still have to study the Soul Suppressing Stele later."
Hearing Lin Yu's voice, the two dared not quarrel anymore.
Lin Fan looked at the bite marks on his arm, then at Bai Xiaosa, his lips moved slightly.
Bai Xiaosa had good eyesight and immediately realized he was being called a dog.
He glanced at Lin Yu, and his lips moved slightly, retorting.
Lin Yu shook his head and chuckled, got up, opened the door, and walked into the courtyard.
"Adult, you are awake!"
"Benefactor, the food is almost ready, you can eat soon."
"You haven't washed up yet, have you? I've asked my wife to prepare hot water for you. You can wash up shortly."
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the village chief's family greeted him enthusiastically.
Lin Yu smiled and responded to each of them.
After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them went to study the stone tablet again.
Lin Yu did not discover any other secrets of the stone tablet. Bai Xiaosa's strength was insufficient, and he could not see the power of the stone tablet clearly.
Therefore, the three decided to move to another village.
That day.
Waking up in the morning, Lin Yu opened his door again.
The village chief's family greeted him warmly.
For the past two days, Lin Yu had his clones kill many fierce beasts.
This allowed the villagers to eat sumptuously, and they were immensely grateful to Lin Yu.
However, today he indicated his intention to leave.
The village chief looked reluctant.
"Benefactor, please take this!" He handed a piece of paper to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu looked down and saw that it was the secret manual for the Soul Capturing Technique.
Lin Yu held the Soul Capturing Technique secret manual, suppressed the urge to view it with his Soul Eye, and said, "This is very important to you, are you willing?"
The village chief said helplessly, "None of my family has any talent. You saved my two sons, and I have no way to repay you, so I can only give this to you, otherwise, I cannot rest easy."
"This thing... it's useful to me, so I'll accept it. However, I won't take it for free."
Lin Yu took out a box of Flesh and Blood Pills from his pocket, a total of ten.
"These are ten Tier 1 Flesh and Blood Pills, which can increase strength by thirty jin. Each person can only take one, which is my return gift to you."
"This... how can this be..." The village chief stood there in shock.
He had never heard of such a miraculous item.
Even in the Kingdom of Chuyun, there were no such miraculous pills.
"You should accept it. This item is useless to me. Alright, we're leaving. Farewell!"
Lin Yu got up and left. Bai Xiaosa and Lin Fan were already waiting outside the door.
The three looked at each other, smiled, and headed towards another village, facing the rising sun.
