Deep in a mountain at the border of Guzhen Nation, Yang Xuan slowly landed.
According to the information that Si Wei obtained from Zhang Hongyu, the woman from the Northern Border Ice Palace, the warm jade in his hand, which was a fire-attribute spirit stone, was obtained from this place.
The mountains here were rather peculiar. They were all stone mountains, but they stood on the ground like long spears that were stuck upside down. They towered into the clouds and were a magnificent sight.
The stone mountains towered and were very dense. Thus, countless bottomless valleys were formed at their roots. Moreover, clouds and mist lingered around them, making it impossible to see the situation below clearly.
Yang Xuan stood under a pine tree at the top of a stone mountain that pierced the sky. His clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look like an immortal.
He had already spread his spiritual sense to the surroundings.
According to the information that was transmitted, the fire-attribute spirit stone was obtained by Zhang Hongyu at the bottom of one of the cliffs here. According to her, there were many warm jades at that time, but they were guarded by ferocious beasts, so she only had time to take one of them.
Yang Xuan's spiritual sense was like water. It spread between the valleys, and the terrain below the valleys was displayed in his mind one by one.
After a long while, his eyes suddenly lit up.
'Found it.'
Next, Yang Xuan's figure appeared directly next to a cliff.
Amidst the lingering clouds and mist, he sensed the aura of a large number of spirit stones like a sea of fire.
Without much thought, Yang Xuan directly jumped off the cliff.
The wind whistled in his ears. The cliff was so deep that Yang Xuan only reached the ground after falling for tens of seconds.
The bottom of the cliff was so dark that he could not even see his fingers.
Of course, this was not a problem for him. As his spiritual Qi surged, he could see everything clearly.
When he saw the scene below the cliff clearly, a smile crept up the corner of his mouth.
He had already seen a few red spirit stones at a corner of the valley.
Following that, after being slightly stunned, he was overjoyed.
Under that corner, there was actually an extremely rich vein of fire-attribute spirit stones.
At this moment, Yang Xuan was grateful to Zhang Hongyu from the bottom of his heart.
If it wasn't for her, how could he have obtained so many spirit stones?
After walking over, Yang Xuan picked up a red Spirit Stone from the ground. With a slight movement of his Divine Sense, the enormous amount of Fire Attribute Spirit Qi in the Spirit Stone flowed into his body like water and into the Void of his Dantian.
Although this amount of spiritual energy was insignificant to Yang Xuan, this feeling made him feel extremely comfortable.
Just as he was immersed in his joy, a whistling sound suddenly came from behind him. A strong wind had quietly arrived.
Yang Xuan turned around nonchalantly and reached out to press it.
Roar!
A wolf howl rang out as Yang Xuan pressed a large black wolf under his palm. Its four limbs dug into the ground, its nostrils puffing out hot air as it bared its fangs and struggled with all its might.
Of course, it was futile. How could a peak Dao-Initiation realm spirit beast escape from Yang Xuan's clutches?
Seeing the black wolf struggling under his palm, Yang Xuan pondered for a moment, then let go of the black wolf and disappeared.
The black wolf felt the force on its head disappear and was about to pounce. When it looked up, the figure in front of it was faint. It was immediately confused and even suspected that it was hallucinating.
Putting aside the black wolf's suspicions, Yang Xuan had already appeared on the cliff.
At this time, he did not intend to excavate the spirit stones here.
Since he entered the Nascent Soul realm, the amount of spiritual energy his body absorbed every day was already a huge number, enough for him to cultivate and consume.
At this time, his cultivation was at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, only one step away from the Nascent Soul realm. His need for spiritual energy was not so urgent.
What he needed at this time was to improve his realm. Only by improving his realm could he absorb more spiritual energy into his body. Otherwise, no matter how many spirit stones he was given, it would be useless if he could not absorb them.
It was like a water jar. The water jar was already full. Even if one wanted to fill it with more water, it would not be able to do so.
If he wanted to fill it with more water, the only way was to upgrade the water jar and make the water jar bigger. This was the right way.
For Yang Xuan, it was the same. If he wanted to absorb more spiritual energy, he could only enter the late Nascent Soul realm. Before that, the spiritual energy in his body had reached a critical point and could not hold any more.
The key to breaking through the late Nascent Soul realm was not the amount of spiritual energy, but the growth of the Nascent Soul.
The growth of the Nascent Soul required the power of the soul. In fact, it was mental power. Only a huge amount of mental power could make his Nascent Soul further grow and let him advance to the late Nascent Soul realm.
It was because of the above reasons that he decided not to touch the spirit stones here for the time being. When he advanced to the late Nascent Soul realm in the future, he would absorb the spirit stones here.
However, before that, it was needless to say to take some spirit stones as a backup.
Just a while ago, he had collected a large number of fire spirit stones in the storage ring, which was enough for him to use.
Now that this matter was over, Yang Xuan naturally had no reason to stay any longer. After secretly memorizing the geography of this place, he left.
While flying, he could not help but sigh.
At this time, he was stuck in the middle Nascent Soul realm and could not make any progress.
The root cause was that he did not have the method to refine his soul.
On the road of cultivation, absorbing spiritual energy and tempering one's strength was only one of them. The more important thing was the cultivation of the soul. This was the most important.
Only with a strong soul could a cultivator control more power. Otherwise, it was like a child waving a knife. Although the knife was sharp, if the child's strength was not up to par, regardless of whether he could wield it or not, even if he could barely wield it, it was very easy to hurt himself.
For a long time, the growth of his soul was extremely passive. He passively absorbed the power of the soul to make his soul grow, but he did not take the initiative to cultivate.
Moreover, he also had a very obscure idea in his heart. That was, this method of absorbing the power of the soul to make the Nascent Soul grow would bring him great hidden dangers. It would even make it more and more difficult for him to advance in the realm.
In view of this point, he had subconsciously begun to reject absorbing the power of the soul from the outside world. Therefore, after entering the Holy Mountain, he did not go to the Soul Hall to look for more power of the soul.
He still needed to find a way to do everything himself.
With a sigh, Yang Xuan temporarily put this helplessness behind him. Now, he had to consider the problem of the corpse tide of the four cities.
This corpse tide was full of strangeness, which made him extremely vigilant.
He had a hunch in his heart that this corpse tide of the four cities was just the beginning. In the future, it might spread to a larger area and cause greater waves.
If he was a little careless, it was very likely that it would be difficult to be good.
However, there was an inexplicable voice in his heart telling him that crisis was also an opportunity. Maybe in this incident, he would have other opportunities.
Quietly returning to the secret room, Yang Xuan quietly cultivated for a few days, and then announced that he was out.
"Your Highness, how is your injury?"
As soon as he came out, 23 and 24 surrounded him with anxious expressions.
The four guards were a step slower, but they also had an inquiring look.
Yang Xuan's face showed a smile: "It's okay, I've recovered."
The few of them sighed in relief at the same time. 23 said with a cold face: "Your Highness, the next time you do something dangerous, please be sure to bring us along."
Yang Xuan did not take his attitude to heart, merely nodding his head slightly.
"Where is that Zhang Hongyu locked up?" Yang Xuan turned to ask Yu Jiu.
"In the dungeon behind the manor," Yu Jiu said.
Yang Xuan thought for a moment and said to the four guards: "You all go do your own things, I'll go see her."
The few of them naturally agreed and turned to leave.
Before leaving, Yu Jiu turned and said: "Your Highness, there is one more thing that I think I should report to you."
