By the time Xiao Yan reacted, he forcefully resisted the urge to laugh. His face was expressionless as he extended his hand and swiftly placed the 'Nine Transformation Body Skill' that he had been looking forward to with the things in the space that Xiao Yan had created.
The corner of Yuan Qing's mouth twitched wildly. This fellow, there were countless people who wanted to obtain this Qi Method of his. Many people had taken out Qi Methods and Dou Skills that caused him to be extremely tempted to exchange for it. However, they had all returned empty-handed in the end. Some people had even ambushed Yuan Qing and wanted to forcefully snatch it away. However, the end result was that they had died in his hands. Some of those who had managed to escape were later chased and killed by the faction behind Yuan Qing. This was why Yuan Qing possessed such a nature-defying Dou Skill, but no one dared to snatch it from him.
Now, however, Yuan Qing had forcefully endured the unwillingness in his heart and gave the Dou Technique that he was most proud of to Xiao Yan for the sake of his future strength and for the sake of forming a good relationship with a strong person. However, from the looks of Xiao Yan's attitude, it was clear that he looked down on the Dou Technique that Yuan Qing was most proud of!
Yuan Qing sighed softly in his heart. The members of a large faction were indeed different. The thing that made him famous was merely so in the eyes of others. The gaze that Yuan Qing used to look at Xiao Yan also dimmed slightly. His originally illusionary body had become even more illusory. It seemed that he was not fated to be with Xiao Yan. Ke ke, how can a genius with an unlimited future be someone that a weak old man like me can casually associate with. Ah …
Yuan Qing's heart became increasingly dispirited the more he thought about it. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, suddenly looked at Yuan Qing with a strange expression at this moment. More accurately speaking, it should be Yuan Qing's body that had become increasingly illusory. Adding Yuan Qing's dispirited expression, Xiao Yan appeared even more puzzled. Xiao Yan frowned and glanced at Yuan Qing a couple of times. After which, he could not help but curiously ask. His finger pointed at Yuan Qing's body as he asked Yuan Qing with a serious expression.
"Old brother Yuan Qing, may I know what is going on with you? Why is your soul origin constantly crumbling? "
Xiao Yan's words woke Yuan Qing up from his stupor. Just a moment ago, Yuan Qing was still sighing to himself, but in the next moment, he was awakened by Xiao Yan's words. Yuan Qing quickly picked up the jade bottle on the ground and withdrew his soul force. Yuan Qing turned into a flash of light and disappeared into the jade bottle.
Soon after, Yuan Qing's voice suddenly appeared in Xiao Yan's mind. Yuan Qing's voice was somewhat apologetic as he said, "Fellow Xiao Yan, I am currently unable to reveal myself and chat with you because of the Di Essence in this world. If I have neglected you in any way, I hope that fellow Xiao Yan will not mind. Once the old me recovers my physical body, I will definitely reward you greatly. However, for now, the old me can only apologize to you."
Xiao Yan frowned when he heard that. What did the crumbling of the soul origin have to do with the Emperor's Essence?
Yuan Qing appeared to have seen Xiao Yan's tightly knit eyebrows. Hence, Yuan Qing's old voice once again sounded in Xiao Yan's mind. Yuan Qing laughed as he explained to Xiao Yan, "Ke ke, it seems that fellow Xiao Yan has only focused on raising his strength in the past. He seldom goes to the book collection room to read some books and scrolls regarding the continent. Ke ke, allow the old me to help fellow Xiao Yan clear up his doubts." The words in Yuan Qing's mouth suddenly paused when he spoke until this point. The eyes of the shrunken version of Yuan Qing within the jade bottle also dimmed slightly. He sighed and raised his head to look at Xiao Yan in the outside world. His eyes actually made contact with Xiao Yan's doubtful eyes.
Yuan Qing looked at Xiao Yan without any light in his eyes as he mumbled to himself in a low voice, "If I was strong enough, why would I be so afraid of my soul origin leaving my body? If I was strong enough, why would I still be unable to cultivate the Nine Body Transformation Mantra to the peak after so many years? The foundation of everything is still strength!"
Yuan Qing let out a sorrowful sigh. After which, he said to Xiao Yan, "I'm sorry friend Xiao Yan, but the reason why my Spirit Essence will scatter is related to my strength. On the continent, if anyone who has yet to reach the Origin Transformation stage is unable to find a new physical body after their physical body dies and their Spirit Essence leaves their body, their Spirit Essence will gradually merge with the Genesis Qi of the world and disappear from this world. Unless an Origin Transformation expert is able to gather the Genesis Qi of the world for their own use and maintain the consumption of their Spirit Essence, they will disappear from this world regardless of what methods they have or how powerful an expert is protecting them. This is because this is the rule of this world."
This was the law of the world. No one could violate this law, no one could surpass this boundary, and no one could change the great dao of the world. This was because every single person born on the continent had already adapted to the continent before they were born, following the law of the world.
This was the law of the continent. Everyone below the Origin Transformation stage was an ant. For those below the Origin Transformation stage, their bodies had yet to truly fuse with the Genesis Qi of the universe, so they would more or less reject the Genesis Qi. When the Genesis Qi came into contact with the soul origin, the soul origin was the part of the body that came into contact with the Genesis Qi the most. Hence, it was the easiest for the soul origin to fuse with the Genesis Qi and dissipate. Once the soul origin came into contact with the Genesis Qi, it would fuse with the Genesis Qi. In the end, the soul origin would be carried away by the Genesis Qi of the universe and scattered across the world, unable to be gathered back together.
If one wanted to preserve the soul origin, there was only one method. On the continent, there was a type of stone known as the Spirit Injection Stone. This type of Spirit Injection Stone was extremely useful for cultivators below the Origin Transformation stage. It was the only type of stone that could help cultivators below the Origin Transformation stage stabilize their soul origin and prevent it from dissipating.
The Spirit Injection Stone, as its name implied, was a type of stone that contained pure energy of the world. Moreover, it could resist the Genesis Qi of the universe and aid in one's cultivation. This type of Spirit Injection Stone contained extremely pure and dense Innate Spirit Qi. However, because this Innate Spirit Injection Stone was a Spirit Injection Stone, it could only contain Innate Spirit Qi of the universe. Thus, Genesis Qi of the universe could not be mixed into it. This was unless the Spirit Injection Stone was damaged, causing the Innate Spirit Qi within to dissipate, causing the Spirit Qi of the universe to scatter in all directions. In the end, it would become a useless stone.
However, if the Innate Spirit Injection Stone was properly used before the Innate Spirit Injection Stone completely dissipated, some of it could be recovered. As a result, the Spirit Injection Stone was very popular on the market. After all, this was a world where the strong were respected. There were quite a few people below the Origin Transformation stage. Who knew how many people faced the danger of their soul origin dissipating every day. As a result, whenever a Spirit Injection Stone appeared on the market, it would attract countless experts below the Origin Transformation stage who would frantically purchase it.
This was not because Spirit Infusion Stones were rare, but because most of the Spirit Infusion Stones had already been purchased by those big forces. Only a small amount could appear on the market. Therefore, as long as Spirit Infusion Stones appeared, they would usually be auctioned in some grand auction.
The reason why Yuan Qing's soul origin had not dissipated after so long was because of his strength. However, if Yuan Qing's soul origin remained outside for too long, it would affect his soul origin and cause his cultivation to stagnate. Of course, a part of this was due to the jade bottle on the ground. The palm-sized bottle was made from Spirit Injection Stones, which was why Yuan Qing had entered the bottle the moment Xiao Yan had warned him.
"I see. No wonder you were in such a hurry to enter the jade bottle. But why don't you refine a body for yourself?" Xiao Yan nodded as though he had come to a sudden understanding. After which, he continued to ask. The moment these words left his mouth, Yuan Qing's entire body appeared to have cramped in an instant.
Yuan Qing forced himself to calm down. Only then did he ask with some anticipation, "According to what fellow Xiao Yan has said, fellow Xiao Yan knows how to refine a body?"
Xiao Yan was speechless. His eyelids twitched slightly. Only then did he look at Yuan Qing strangely.
"Brother Yuan Qing, don't tell me you don't even have such a low-level method?"
A strange expression appeared on Xiao Yan's face when he heard that. However, he immediately realized that his tone was off, so he smiled sheepishly.
Yuan Qing's mouth twitched when he heard that. Is Xiao Yan really out to gain experience? He's clearly out to deal a blow to me.
Yuan Qing quietly sighed in his heart before explaining to Xiao Yan.
"Refining a body is a matter of life and death. Anyone who knows how to refine a body has already been taken away by the upper echelons of large organisations. Apart from a few powerful seniors who don't want to be controlled by others, there are only a few people who only know a little about refining a body.
Moreover, not everyone has the secret technique of refining a body. Most of them are in large organisations or ancient clans. Outsiders have no chance of obtaining it. "
Yuan Qing's face was filled with envy as he spoke.
However, Xiao Yan was speechless for a long while. This method of refining one's physical body was a low level secret technique that anyone with a little strength would know in the Dou Qi continent.
However, he couldn't even find a single one here. Tsk tsk, looks like I've come to a barren land.
Xiao Yan was still lamenting when Yuan Qing continued to speak.
"This isn't because the secret technique of refining a body is rare. Instead, it's because our strength is still too weak. Given our level of strength, we are only at the bottom in the eyes of others. They don't even bother to help us refine a body. Since some of them aren't as strong as us, but they know how to refine a body, just this point alone is enough for them to look down on many people of the same level as them."
Xiao Yan originally thought that the strength of these people was merely so-so. However, when Xiao Yan heard that people like them were merely ants, his heart was slightly startled. The strength of a Dou Di was merely so-so. A Dou Di was merely an existence at the bottom. Yet, even a Dou Di was merely an existence at the bottom. Just how frightening would the peak existences on this continent be? Xiao Yan felt a wave of perspiration just thinking about it in his heart. It was unexpected that this foreign world continent was actually so strong.
Xiao Yan recalled the words that the Old Flame Demon Ghost had said to him. He had waited for him here for ten years. Moreover, he had been waiting for him. However, this was also the first time that Xiao Yan had come to this place. How could he know anyone? Even if it was Hun Tiandi, he had already died. How could those people find him? It seems that he would have to return to the days of training alone in the past. However, it is just as well.
Xiao Yan considered everything that had happened today in his heart. After which, he nodded violently. His eyes were filled with determination.
Xiao Yan used the various materials that he originally had to refine a physical body for Yuan Qing during this period of time. Yuan Qing also knew that Xiao Yan wanted to do something else. Hence, he quickly left after getting used to this new physical body. He left the remaining time for Xiao Yan alone.
