Chapter 222

Seeing the chat group's appraisal of the elixir, Zhang Taixuan felt curious and poured out one to swallow.

The elixir dissolved at once upon entering his mouth; soon, a chilling qi flowed into his Immortal Platform and merged with his Primordial Spirit.

After a moment, the chilling qi was completely consumed.

"It probably enhanced my soul power by one hundred-thousandth. Given my current level, this single elixir would be enough to raise an ordinary person's soul realm to the Immortal Three stage."

"This is truly an immortal elixir."

"I never expected such an ordinary evil spirit could brew such a terrifying elixir—no wonder each evil spirit sells for a few points!"

This stuff is indeed more valuable than gold.

After sensing the elixir's properties, he casually tossed it into the chat group.

A one-hundred-thousandth boost to his Primordial Spirit was less effective than a day of his own cultivation—this elixir felt like a useless, half-useful burden: hard to swallow, hard to discard.

But for ordinary group members, it was not so.

Ye Hei: "Ninefold Soul-Refining Elixir?! Fifty thousand points per pill? What kind of ghost elixir is this?!"

Su Xiao: "If it's this valuable, it must be extraordinary. Fifty thousand points—terrifying! Let me try one first!"

Ye Hei: "Damn, you're too fast!"

Lin Fengjiao: "I wonder what kind of divine elixir this is?"

Ying Zheng: "Su Xiao's hands are indeed swift. Huh, a few more have just been listed—let this emperor buy one to test."

After selling the tiger-shaped pendant, Ying Zheng gained five million points.

His empire already had hundreds of thousands of transcendent troops—enough to conquer the entire Earth—and these five million points were never spent; instead, he saved them.

The empire is the emperor's extension.

For him, as long as he exists, the empire exists.

His cultivation was naturally his highest priority.

Upon obtaining the elixir, Ying Zheng felt his vision brighten.

Merely looking at the elixir filled one with a sense of its extraordinariness, stirring joy within the heart.

Without hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp.

After a moment, a massive chilling qi surged into his mind sea.

Boom—

As if splitting heaven and earth, his mind sea was violently shaken, leaving him dizzy.

After a while, he felt freed from all restraints; his spiritual sense expanded dozens of times, now covering a thousand li in every direction—every movement of the commoners and officials was clear to him.

"Is this the power of the Primordial Spirit?!"

He had possessed spiritual sense before, but never anything this powerful.

Sensing a great mountain hundreds of li away, he willed it—and in the next instant, the mountain vanished into thin air, leaving not even a speck of dust.

"The Primordial Spirit's abilities are truly extraordinary—profoundly wondrous."

Retracting his spiritual sense, he checked his own strength and found the once-solid realm barrier had silently shattered.

Inner-viewing his dantian, he saw a faint radiance swirling within—it was a divine skill taking shape.

Once the divine skill matured, he would gain a breathtaking ability perfectly suited to himself.

He opened the chat group.

Ying Zheng: "I have broken through to the Divine Skill realm!"

Su Xiao: "Huh, Brother Zheng broke through too?! You bought the Soul-Refining Elixir too?"

Ying Zheng: "Indeed. Huh, there are still six left in the marketplace—I'll buy three more and leave three for the group."

Su Xiao: "Wow, you sneaky bastard—you almost bought them all! I'm buying too!"

Living in a world of demonic resurgence and backed by his nation, Su Xiao received only two or three tenths of the profits—but even that was a vast fortune; his points exceeded Ying Zheng's.

Su Xiao: "Bought three. I'll be the first to complete my Divine Skill."

Ye Hei: "You're inhuman! I was just about to sell my Bodhi seeds to buy one and try it!"

Su Xiao: "Dude, Ye Hei, those are your cheat items."

Ye Hei: "So what if they're cheats? This stuff is huge in the early stages, useless later. If I get this elixir, I'll have a Primordial Spirit at the Immortal Platform realm—why worry about my comprehension?"

Ye Hei: "Besides, this thing bears the imprint of Amitabha—I dare not keep it long. What if I turn bald?"

Zhang Taixuan: "You're talking about this? Don't worry. 【Image】 I also refined the demons from Su Xiao's world and listed nine more—everyone can buy with peace of mind."

Ye Hei: "Wow, thanks, Dao Jun! Bought three—I'll test them first."

Su Xiao: "Huh, the evil spirits and ghosts in the marketplace are gone—could this elixir be made from them?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Correct. Evil spirits and ghosts can both be refined into Ninefold Soul-Refining Elixirs. But don't get greedy and go hunting souls. Evil spirits are fragments; the ghosts in Su Xiao's world are intruders from the Spirit Realm—refining them is fine. Any other living souls? Not accepted."

Xiong Ba: "Dao Jun is benevolent!"

Ying Zheng: "Dao Jun is benevolent!"

Lin Fengjiao: "Dao Jun speaks wisely! In my world, though ghosts abound, I've never sold a single one. These souls are someone's ancestors or descendants—selling them violates morality and sect rules."

Yue Buqun: "Excellent. Otherwise, how many killings would descend upon the realms?"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Wu Liang Tian Zun. Dao Jun is compassionate."

Ying Zheng No. 2: "But, Sect Master Yue, aren't you the villain?"

Sect Master Yue: "Can we not let this go? I am the Great Ming's Imperial Master, known as the Lesser Heavenly Sovereign of the Dao Sect—a righteous cultivator!"

Chihara Airi: "Wow, Sect Master Yue has the title 'Lesser Heavenly Sovereign of the Dao Sect'?!"

Yue Buqun: "It's all due to the kindness of fellow martial artists. 【Proud】 Now, the Huashan Sect is the largest sect on my side."

Su Xiao: 【Approving】 It seems Sect Master Yue has achieved his ideal. @Zhang Taixuan, your concern is unnecessary. Since we know souls are useful, I'll just have them pay more attention to the Spirit Realm daily. Once we find the Spirit Realm, the elixir ingredients will flow like water.

Yotsuya Miko: "Same here—I can get busy and catch more evil spirits to sell. I never expected these evil spirits could brew such divine elixirs—no wonder the marketplace pays one point per evil spirit!"

Jiegeng: "Evil spirits can sell for so much—aren't the spirits born from resentment I have also quite valuable? Once I finish learning the talismans, I'll go catch a few and try."

Han Paopao: "I want to buy one pill, but I don't have any credits—this is an elixir that can condense the Primordial Spirit!"
