Chapter 79 - 72: Qi Refining Sixth Layer! Yin Soul Trade! Returning to the Sect! Reunion with Old Friends!

One day later.

Outside Celestial Extreme City.

Inside a cave.

[Energy Storage Pill (Proficiency: 12,376/25,000)]

"Just a few more days and my Energy Storage Pill proficiency will hit perfection."

Lin Chang’sheng looked at his panel, a satisfied look on his face.

As long as I inhale, I gain experience points.

Every breath counts as one inhale, earning me 1 point of experience.

"Right now I’m at the peak of Qi Refining Fifth Layer. I’ve got six Energy Storage Pills, let’s eat them and see if I can break through to Qi Refining Sixth Layer."

A thought flashed through Lin Chang’sheng’s mind. He immediately pulled out six Energy Storage Pills from his storage bag.

Energy Storage Pills have a pale, milky color, giving off a rich medicinal fragrance. Just one sniff makes my whole body feel comfortable.

After reaching perfection, a method for refining Energy Storage Pills suddenly appeared in Lin Chang’sheng’s mind. Identifying pills by scent was basic, and the quality of these pills was decent.

Lin Chang’sheng tossed a pill into his mouth.

Boom!

The medicine instantly burst into a torrent of heat, and erupted in his body!

Lin Chang’sheng immediately operated the Five Elements True Flame Technique, absorbing the medicinal power of the Energy Storage Pill, flooding and nourishing his meridians, finally gathering in his Dantian and transforming into magical power.

At the same time, he kept an eye on the cultivation section of his panel.

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Stage (Fifth Layer 15,999/16,000)]

"Nothing’s happening? Is it still not enough?"

After absorbing one Energy Storage Pill, Lin Chang’sheng saw that his experience hadn’t budged—still 15,999 points. That final point just wouldn’t break through, so he popped another pill in his mouth, gripped a spirit stone in each hand, and mobilized the Five Elements True Flame Technique to absorb medicinal power from both pill and spirit stones!

Hum!

A torrent of spiritual energy spread out from Lin Chang’sheng’s hands and stomach, sucked in by the Five Elements True Flame Technique, surging into his Dantian, transforming into magical power!

His Dantian billowed with magical force, which then rebounded through all of his meridians!

Bang!

Suddenly, Lin Chang’sheng felt something shatter inside his mind. Instantly, he sensed his Dantian tremble—its space doubled in size! The previously bulging magical power now filled his Dantian in a flash!

At the same time.

He felt his meridians tremble violently, widening significantly, and under the nourishment of spiritual power, becoming tougher!

A powerful sense of strength surged through his entire body!

Lin Chang’sheng realized that his magical power had doubled from before!

"Finally broke through—Qi Refining Sixth Layer!"

Lin Chang’sheng gazed at his hands, eyes full of satisfaction, muttering, "Time to refine the Yin Soul Slash!"

Lin Chang’sheng remembered.

This Yin Soul Slash required Qi Refining Sixth Layer or higher to condense.

His Yin Soul Slash had been simplified to ghost-hunting, and after a year of collecting Qi Hui’s soul, had reached perfection. The key to condensing the Yin Soul Slash was to use countless Yin Souls as the medium.

Condense them into a blade of the soul, slashing out at a critical moment against the enemy!

It attacks the divine soul!

The power of the Yin Soul is hard to guard against; a careless moment could spell disaster, surrounded by endless Yin Souls!

The more Yin Souls condensed, the stronger the Yin Soul Slash!

But.

Yin Soul Slash required the Yin Souls to willingly be condensed. Lin Chang’sheng figured this was why that Qi Refining Sixth Layer demon cultivator couldn’t forge the Yin Soul Slash!

"Maybe I can make a deal with these tens of thousands of Yin Souls!"

Lin Chang’sheng brought out the Myriad Souls Banner acquired from the Qi Refining Sixth Layer demon cultivator, a middle grade magical artifact, one tier above Qi Hui’s Myriad Souls Banner.

There were more than forty thousand Yin Souls inside.

Lin Chang’sheng extended his divine sense into the Myriad Souls Banner.

It was a misty, hazy space, crowded with Yin Souls of all kinds—men, women, young, old, long tongues, hanging necks, missing feet or hands—all incomparably tragic.

As his divine sense entered, the nearby Yin Souls surged over, letting out shrill wails.

"Folks, the master of this Myriad Souls Banner has been slain by me. Now, the banner’s in my hands, and I intend to send you to reincarnation!"

"But I won’t send you for free. I need you to condense into a single Yin Soul Slash for me—as my trump card. Help me out once, and I’ll send you to reincarnation!"

"I’ll give you ten breaths to decide. If you’re willing, come out of the banner!"

Lin Chang’sheng’s voice thundered through the mist, drawing all the Yin Souls’ attention to the spot where his divine sense entered.

He withdrew his divine sense and opened up the Myriad Souls Banner.

The banner had restrictions locking up all the Yin Souls, and without lifting them, these souls could never escape.

Soon enough.

An elderly Yin Soul drifted out, nodding towards Lin Chang’sheng. As the old Yin Soul appeared, more followed—flooding out of the Myriad Souls Banner, floating around Lin Chang’sheng, staring at him.

Lin Chang’sheng saw that every Yin Soul in the banner had come out, now surrounding him.

"Good!"

"Now I’ll fuse you into one—Yin Soul Slash. Once I use it, I’ll send you all to reincarnation!"

Lin Chang’sheng swept his eyes over the many Yin Souls, his voice deep.

With that, he executed the Yin Soul Slash incantation, sending out streams of magical power, merging them into the Immortal Slaying Saber. Instantly, a vortex the size of a human head appeared on the blade. Lin Chang’sheng pointed at the vortex. "Enter the saber—you’ll condense into the Yin Soul Slash. I keep my word!"

Hearing this, the Yin Souls nodded to him, then approached the vortex, drawn inside!

Lin Chang’sheng knew.

These Yin Souls had no choice, but they still held hope and were willing to make a gamble.

Forty thousand Yin Souls rushed into the Immortal Slaying Saber, turning the blade pitch-black and releasing dense Yin Qi. Lin Chang’sheng quickly poured nearly a hundred more streams of magical power into it, and in a flash, the blade shifted back to its normal color, with no trace of Yin Qi remaining.
