Chapter 165 Harvest: Soul Jade Crystal, Refining Spirit Flower

Chi!
In that instant, a magnificent sword aura, as dazzling as the sun, also slashed out rapidly in front of Ji Haoyuan.

It collided head-on with the sword light that was about to strike his body.

slam-la-

It was as if lava was pouring into the ice and snow.

The sword light, so deep and intense, filled with a strong killing intent, was melted away inch by inch.

In the end, Ji Haoyuan's Great Sun Profound Yellow Sword Qi struck straight into a withered body, devoid of any life.

boom!
In an instant, it was as if burning lamp oil had fallen into dry wood.

One could see that from the pores of its withered body, including its eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth, a fierce, flame-like crimson light rose up.

In the blink of an eye, that withered body had turned into a pile of ashes.

Upon seeing this, Ji Haoyuan's expression turned slightly solemn.

If he wasn't mistaken, the withered body that had just appeared and attacked him—or rather, the corpse—was a strange entity that had been buried here long ago, absorbing a large amount of malevolent energy and killing intent, and eventually coalescing into something else.

It is called the Corpse Demon.

Such beings, once they appear, possess at least the combat strength of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

If one were even stronger, one could possess the strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage, or even the peak Foundation Establishment stage.

Next, we move on to the early stage of the Golden Core realm and the middle stage of the Golden Core realm.

Even the presence of a Fiend Corpse with late-stage Golden Core combat power wouldn't surprise Ji Haoyuan at all.

The murderous aura and killing intent emanating from this place were simply too intense.

It is entirely possible that such an anomaly of that level could be conceived.

Wow – Wow – Wow –

At that very moment, it was unclear whether his actions had stirred up a hornet's nest.

Then, within this city that resembled ruins, beneath various rubble, broken walls, and even the dark red soil, dozens of demonic corpses suddenly sprang forth.

They may have withered skin, hold swords or knives, or have red eyes.

Even worse, some had a large hole running through their abdomen and chest.

A wisp of twisted, winding, grayish-brown malevolent energy gathered in the large hole.

Without exception, they all stared at Ji Haoyuan with empty, numb pupils.

Immediately afterwards, wave after wave of attacks, like a tidal wave, swarmed towards Ji Haoyuan.

"Squeak..."

Upon seeing this, the Tongbao Spirit Fox, which was next to Ji Haoyuan, immediately darted behind him and covered its eyes with its two paws.

hum!
At the same time.

Ji Haoyuan raised his finger and pointed to his own brow.

The next moment, flames rose up from all directions and even in the void.

slam-la-

The attacks, like tidal waves, fell upon the sea of ​​fire he had unleashed, and were instantly melted away completely.

Immediately, the flames rose from below following their attack, engulfing their bodies in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

An orange flame rose into the air.

When all of this has passed.

Not to mention those dozens of demonic corpses, even the entire dilapidated city was reduced to dust.

Only wisps of smoke remained, drifting leisurely in the air.

"Squeak...squeak!"

At the same time.

The Tongbao Spirit Fox, which had been hiding behind Ji Haoyuan, suddenly grabbed Ji Haoyuan's trouser leg tightly with its claws.

Then, one of its paws pointed urgently to a certain spot ahead.

"Um……"

Upon seeing the actions of the Tongbao Spirit Fox, Ji Haoyuan's heart was immediately stirred.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away. His divine sense spread out like flowing water.

He soon seemed to realize something.

He raised his hand and grabbed at the ground.

There was a crash.

Then, a stone that looked like glass, shimmering with silver-white light, and about the size of a pebble, appeared in his palm.

"This is?"

Ji Haoyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

He quickly recognized the origin of the object in his hand.

This should be a Soul Jade Crystal.

A treasure that can be used to enhance the strength of one's soul.

In the outside world, it would be a treasure that even late-stage Golden Core cultivators would fight over.

After all, for a Golden Core cultivator, if they want to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, the first thing they need to do is to make their soul strong enough.

Otherwise, whether it's the tribulation of inner demons or the step of transforming into an infant, if you don't have a sufficiently powerful soul, you will fall before this hurdle.

and so.

Any treasure that can enhance the strength of the soul is something that any Golden Core cultivator desperately desires.

Unexpectedly, such a thing could be conceived among those monstrous corpses.

Ji Haoyuan was slightly agitated.

He realized that there must be a large number of evil corpses in the Sheng Tian Secret Realm.

If he could obtain more Soul Jade Crystals by slaying those fiendish corpses, it would be a huge gain for him.

The only question is, what exactly is the probability of those fiendish corpses dropping Soul Jade Crystals?

Of those dozens of Fiend Corpses, only this one Soul Jade Crystal appeared.

Hopefully, the probability isn't that low.

However, reality proved to be far more brutal than imagined.

Because in the time that follows.

Guided by the Spirit Fox of Tongbao, Ji Haoyuan continued his journey.

Along the way, he had already killed hundreds of demonic corpses.

However, the result was that they didn't even get a single Soul Jade Crystal.

This only shows that the reason he was able to obtain that Soul Jade Crystal earlier was purely due to good luck.

Fortunately.

After that, he killed nearly a thousand more evil corpses and finally managed to obtain a Soul Jade Crystal.

However, this Soul Jade Crystal was half the size of the one he had obtained before.

Put this Soul Jade Crystal away.

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan had arrived at a place that resembled a plain.

However, all that could be seen was a sea of ​​blood.

The dense aura of malevolence and the invisible killing intent seemed to soar straight into the sky.

But in this very place, a pure white flower, like a snow lotus, stood quietly not far in front of him.

"Squeak..."

The Tongbao Spirit Fox, which was standing next to him, urged him anxiously.

It seemed as if he needed to hurry up and pick the flower.

Clearly, in the eyes of the Tongbao Spirit Fox, it was something even rarer and more precious than the Soul Jade Crystal.

However, Ji Haoyuan smiled and patted its head, signaling it to calm down.

Because even a typical Golden Core cultivator might not recognize the origin of the flower before them.

However, Ji Haoyuan, who was already a guest elder of the Yanfa Sect, had just heard about it during his casual conversation with Zhang Tianyang that day.

This is the flower of spiritual refinement, an unparalleled spiritual object for refining the spirit.

Even for Nascent Soul cultivators, it has a rather remarkable effect.
