Chapter 264: The Spark of Life

n only barely contend with a cultivator in the Daoist realm.Especially when facing Mo Chenzi not long ago, I was even more aware of my own shortcomings.If one is strong enough, then how could Moxchenz..."Mutant Beast Egg!"

According to Bai Ze's reminder, Jiang Yun only then remembered that he had snatched a mutated monster egg from the Illusory Beast Diagram back then.

This mutated beast egg, just like the Cold Abyss Winged Bat's, has been on Jiang Yun for over a year now. But because Jiang Yun has yet to condense his blessed land, it remains unhatched.

Although Bai Ze said it was a treasure, Ginger Cloud didn't know what it could hatch.

Now that the blessed land was obtained, Jiang Yun took it out. After a moment of hesitation, he placed it on top of the snow cliff, directly above his head, facing the black matter emanating from the blissful celestial realm.

Strangely enough, as soon as the demon beast egg was laid, those black substances seemed to sense it and immediately surged forward, one after another, converging on it and encasing it tightly.

It appears the monster egg is absorbing these black substances.

This made Ginger Cloud involuntarily ask with some concern, "These black substances, they won't harm it, right"

Bai Ze immediately retorted, "This is a blessed land that the demon Dao helped you gather. With his status, he could never harm you! Rest assured, there's no danger, only benefits!"

Ginger Cloud also felt that there shouldn't be any harm, and suddenly had an idea: "Could we let the bats enter my blessed land too"

"Living things won't work! But as a storage container, it could do!"

Then, Ginger Cloud began to count all the items on her person, especially the spoils of war from the North Mountain Prefecture group.

Of course, it refers to the thousands of storage magical artifacts that Han Mingyi Bat collected in the ice cave from the demon clan.

All but a few of the spirit stones within had already been used by Jiang Yun for the teleportation array.

Even without the spirit stones, everything inside still adds up to a considerable fortune.

Of course, what Jiang Yun was most interested in was the elixir.

It's a pity that these demon clans are only at the blessed land realm themselves, so the medicinal pills they carry aren't too high-grade either. Jiang Yun doesn't even look down on them.

However, there was a single medicinal pill among them that caught Ginger Cloud's attention, for it was a Pill of Foundation Establishment!

Zhidao Dan, a five-grade elixir, is used to break through to the Dao Spirit Realm from the late stage of the Cave Heaven Realm!

Initially, the owner of Nánxīng City's multi-pharmacy, Xià Zhōngxīng, possessed a single Zhùdào Dan.

And for this pill of building the Dao, Du Guirong of Bai Caogu, ultimately died at the hands of Jiang Yun.

Ginger Cloud guessed that this Dao-Building Pill should belong to the Cave Heaven Spirit Demon who died at the hands of the Cold Void Wing Bat. Unexpectedly, it now belonged to him.

Although Jiang Yun doesn't need this Zhidao Pill now, and its grade is only the lowest mortal rank, Jiang Yun still wants to give it a try.

Can you discern the materials it contains, thus obtaining the elixir formula for the Zhu Dao Dan and then refining it yourself

Besides elixirs, the contents of these storage magic artifacts are naturally diverse and varied.

After carefully examining everything, Jiang Yun sorted them into categories within the blessed land. After all, many things, like those materials, might come in handy someday.

Finally, Ginger Cloud's hand appeared with a lamp, the very one he had snatched from the young master of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave. Sadly, a trace of powerful divine consciousness resided within it.

If you want to claim the lamp for yourself, you must first erase its divine consciousness. However, Jiang Yun is unable to do so at present, so he naturally cannot wield this lamp.

However, just as he was about to put the lamp away, Bai Ze's voice rang out again: "Wait a minute, this lamp is a bit strange!"

"How strange is that"

This lamp... it seems to be a Flameless Puppet Lamp, using life-fire as the puppet and burning into flames!

Jiang Yun asked in confusion, "What is a life fire"

"The Soulfire, or the spark of life possessed by every living being, is generally invisible to the naked eye. Only those with incredibly powerful spiritual awareness can perceive it. The Fire Tribe, however, are inherently composed of fire and thus are not bound by this limitation."

"As long as the life fire burns, life endures. When the life fire is extinguished, life ends!"

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Ginger Cloud's eyes.

He remembered that every time Huo Duming used the lamp, he would exhale a breath, and then a flame would appear inside.

Obviously, that flame is the life fire!

Originally, this lamp was designed to store a life flame within it. When in use, the life flame would be summoned and combined with the wielder's fire control abilities to unleash various attacks.

Then, within this lamp, countless lifelights are hidden, and isn't each lifelight a representation of a life!

"You're thinking too simply. While everything has a spirit, not every spirit's life fire can be used. The stronger the cultivator, the stronger their spirit's life fire naturally is."

Ginger Cloud raised his hand and said, “This lamp is too cruel, it’s useless to me, destroy it!”

"Don't destroy it!" Bai Ze exclaimed urgently. "This lamp is a rare magical artifact, with great power, but that fire clan little demon doesn't know how to use its true potential."

Jiang Yun's palm had already fallen, and he declared: "No matter how powerful it is, it comes at the cost of life!"

Bai Ze almost shouted, "Will you just let me finish speaking!"

"Although it does require a life as the price, you have to use the fire of good people You could completely send the fire of those lesser demon from the Fire tribe, and those bad people whom you look down on, into it!"

"Anyway, the path of cultivation is built upon countless killings. If you don't kill, someone will come to kill you."

"Instead of simply killing those people, why not kill them and then send their life flames into this lamp"

"And there are still some who died unjustly, their life flames can also be sent into this lamp!"

“The power of this lamp is directly proportional to the number of soul fires within it. I estimate that there are at most a few hundred soul fires inside it now. If you could store tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of soul fires, then once this lamp is lit, you would be invincible!”

Hearing Bai Ze's explanation, Jiang Yun finally stopped his palm that had already fallen. He was truly moved.

Because what Bai Ze said is right.

Although this flameless lantern requires a life fire, someone like Du Guirong, upon seeing them, would definitely kill them. After killing them, taking their life fire and putting it into the lantern is indeed a profitable move.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun changed his mind: “Well, just temporarily, I can’t erase the divine consciousness within the lamp!”

"This is not a problem, you have lihuo, you can send a wisp of lihuo into the lamp, allowing it to slowly burn the spirit consciousness. Even if it's powerful, there will always come a day when it is burned away."

Following Bai Ze's instructions, Jiang Yun poured a spark of divine fire into the Flameless Lantern and then put it away. He temporarily ignored it and focused on his cultivation.

Three days passed quickly in Jiang Yun's cultivation. Xiao Zheng came over several times, but seeing Jiang Yun meditating, he didn't disturb him.

Just like that, on the third day as dawn broke, Xiao Zheng was already in front of Jiang Yun's face: "Younger brother, how is your preparation going"

Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Do your best!"

This is also his honest opinion. He has no idea how skilled the alchemists of Yaoshenzong are, so there's no comparison to be made. All he can do is give it his all and try to pass the Five Rounds Trial. That way, when the time comes, he can ask the highest-ranking alchemist in Yaoshenzong to help his third senior brother refine an antidote!

"Then let's go!"
