Chapter 1284 - 344: Di Shen’s Worries
The Demon Essence Pill can enhance Di Shen’s cultivation when his soul is incomplete, but the conditions for refining the Demon Essence Pill are extremely harsh.
First, one must have at least Fang Venerate Level cultivation, secondly, one must possess a treasure cauldron with all Five Spirits, and the final condition is to have a Demon Soul of at least Great Demon Level.
When Ye Lingyue learned about this elixir from the Shishen Refining Cauldron, she had always wanted to refine it for Di Shen.
However, at that time, after arriving at Qing Province Continent, the demon beasts on the mainland were too scarce, and Great Demon Level Demon Souls were even rarer. Moreover, with the Demon Awakening Gate sealed, Ye Lingyue had no way to refine it.
It wasn’t until arriving in the Ancient Nine Provinces that the conditions became available.
Although the Jade Bone Demon’s cultivation had regressed, it was of Great Demon lineage, so the Demon Essence Pill refined from its soul was filled with strong demonic power.
"The stronger the Demon Soul used to refine the Demon Essence Pill, the better. It’s a pity that the Jade Bone Demon’s cultivation is average. The Demon Essence Pill refined from its soul is at most a Basic Level Demon Essence Pill. But still, it’s better than nothing, and it can increase some of your demonic power." Ye Lingyue was slightly dissatisfied with the Demon Essence Pill.
Di Shen took the Demon Essence Pill and carefully put it away, but did not consume it immediately.
The words the Jade Bone Demon spoke made him suddenly realize that perhaps finding all his soul and restoring his demonic power wasn’t so urgent.
A demon is a demon, the demonic nature hasn’t vanished.
If his demonic power were fully restored, would he become as cruel and bloodthirsty as the Jade Bone Demon?
"I’ll take it later. Wife, do you really plan to refine Xue Zhong and Luo Yi into Spirit Puppets?" Di Shen asked casually.
"Once I thoroughly research the Puppet Book, I’ll begin the refinement. Although their bodies won’t decay immediately, refining them into one as soon as possible is the last thing I can do for Luo Yi."
Ye Lingyue somberly took care of Luo Yi’s body.
Though the Jade Bone Demon had been eradicated,
greater challenges lay ahead. Besides the Jade Bone Demon, who else among the Demon Clan is lurking in Shui City?
Moreover, what sinister plot are the people from the Demon World concocting by infiltrating the Ancient Nine Provinces?
After the deaths of Luo Yi and the Jade Bone Demon, City Lord Yang already knew that Ye Lingyue had acquired the entire Puppet Book.
Instead of making things difficult for her, he earnestly entrusted the Puppet Book to Ye Lingyue.
"The Puppet Book has been sealed in Gold City for hundreds of years. Now, with the Demon Clan’s insidious plans, there’s a likelihood of a massive invasion of the Ancient Nine Provinces. As the treasured possession of Gold City, it’s time for the Puppet Book to resurface. City Lord Ye, skilled in both alchemy and artifact, having also passed the dual tests of the Five Beasts Road and the Vajra Formation, I believe placing the Puppet Book in your hands is its best fate."
City Lord Yang looked at the devastated Vajra Formation and City Lord’s Mansion with a sigh.
He couldn’t help but once again envy Huangquan City Lord for being able to entrust Huangquan City to a newcomer like Ye Lingyue.
The waves of the Yangtze River push the waves before it, perhaps it’s time for us old folks to step back from the battlefield of the Ancient Nine Provinces.
In addition to the Puppet Book, City Lord Yang also gave Ye Lingyue some of the damaged Vajra from the Vajra Formation.
"City Lord Ye plans to head to Shui City, which is likely even more dangerous than Gold City. The Vajra I give you, after refining, may be of use. However, correspondingly, I also hope that you, City Lord Ye, can help me refine some new Vajra. You know, the Vajra Formation of Gold City is nearly paralyzed after this incident. The City Lord’s Mansion needs a new batch of Vajra."
Indeed, City Lord Yang, being the City Lord of Gold City, did not give something for nothing, and immediately voiced his request.
It turns out, he also saw Ye Lingyue’s talent in Artifact Refining.
After considering, Ye Lingyue readily agreed to City Lord Yang’s request.
Firstly, getting along well with City Lord Yang is beneficial for Ye Lingyue, who is now isolated and powerless, especially for the upcoming City Lord Meeting where City Lord Yang’s good words are indispensable.
Secondly, she hadn’t had the Puppet Book for long and needed to explore it. The Vajra left by predecessors would also greatly aid her understanding of the Puppet Book and in refining new Spirit Puppets.
Thus, Ye Lingyue stayed in Gold City for another ten days.
Over and over, she studied the Puppet Book and dismantled the Vajras left in Gold City.
In three days, she repaired those damaged Vajras within the Vajra Formation.
In the remaining days, Ye Lingyue began independently refining Spirit Puppets. However, to her disappointment, independently refining Spirit Puppets was more challenging than she imagined.
After repeated attempts, she could only create Vajra but couldn’t merge and refine Xue Zhong and Luo Yi. Ye Lingyue realized it was because her time in refining Spirit Puppets was still short; only with further growth in spiritual power or gathering more pieces of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron could she succeed.
Though she lost some, she gained something as well. Despite the unsuccessful Spirit Puppet refinement, Ye Lingyue managed to refine eighteen Vajras in one go.
These eighteen Vajras were combined into the new Moon-Style Vajra Formation, incorporating features of Gold City’s Eighteen Vajra Formation: six Bronze Vajra, six Silver Vajra, and six Golden Vajra.
This new Vajra Formation, named Moon-Style Vajra Formation by Ye Lingyue, not only significantly increased her strength once refined but also had another crucial purpose: training the Three-legged Birdman Warriors within Hong Meng Heaven.
During Ye Lingyue’s refining days, Di Shen, Huang Jun, and others entered the new Vajra Formation one after another.
Finally, on the eve of their departure from Gold City, Huang Jun passed through the Vajra Formation and, like Qin Xiaochuan, officially acquired the title of Demon Hunter.
Ten days later, Ye Lingyue, Di Shen, and the others set off for Shui City.
"Everyone, Gold City owes its survival to your help. I, Yang Xuan, will never forget this great kindness. City Lord Ye, I initially planned to accompany you to Shui City, but there are many affairs in the city. I plan to start my journey a few days later. Rest assured, at the upcoming City Lord Meeting, I will definitely stand by City Lord Ye."
City Lord Yang personally saw Ye Lingyue and others off at the Transmission Array of Gold City.
"City Lord Yang, you’re too kind. Therefore, see you in Shui City."
Ye Lingyue clasped her fists and saluted.
The group entered the Transmission Array, heading for Shui City.
Just as she stepped into the Transmission Array, Ye Lingyue suddenly remembered that she might have asked City Lord Yang about the Shui City Lord. Earlier, City Lord Yang seemed to have mentioned that the City Lord of Shui City was his friend, but how much does the Shui City Lord know about the spies in Shui City?
Unfortunately, the Transmission Array had already started; turning back was too late.
As Ye Lingyue and her group were on their way to Shui City, Hong Mingyue just opened a letter within Shui City.
