"Probably not. Even for me, it would be extremely difficult to refine those Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng in three days."
Let alone two juniors in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Kudu shook his head in denial.
His consciousness swept across the area instantly, his divine sense acting like an invisible eye, and he immediately saw Ji Wuchen sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the valley.
He recognized Ji Wuchen at a glance. With a flick of his finger, he made a slight calculation, and the cause and effect events related to Ji Wuchen flowed through his mind like water.
"So that's how it is. This kid obtained that Yin-Yang Daoist essence but was unable to refine it and was instead devoured by it, so he had no choice but to seek help from others."
His divine sense swept across the tightly closed stone door of the cave. Although it was blocked by the array, he could still vaguely sense the two intertwined auras inside.
He pondered to himself, a knowing smile spreading across his face, and came to the same conclusion as the human-faced dragon.
That is, with Chen Yi's strength at the early to mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, even with a female companion to assist in dual cultivation, it would be impossible for him to refine that fifth-order Yin-Yang Daoist essence that was about to reach its violent peak.
This is tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot, courting certain death.
Kudu knew perfectly well what the man-faced dragon's intentions were in summoning him.
He simply wanted to use him to personally deal with these younger members of the Great Green Realm, so that the Human-Faced Flood Dragon could reap the benefits.
"A monster is a monster; even his schemes are so crude."
Kudu sneered inwardly; he certainly wouldn't so easily grant the Human-Faced Flood Dragon's wish.
In his view, his real opponents were this human-faced dragon, which was also a Nascent Soul avatar, and other beings of the same level who might have already infiltrated this ancient battlefield from other realms.
These three juniors in front of him, though talented, are ultimately just juniors and not worthy of being included in his list of opponents.
Kudu withdrew his divine sense and decided to wait.
Let those two ignorant young people in the cave consume the violent energy of the Yin-Yang Daoist Rhyme first.
He wasn't in a hurry at all.
He would wait until the other party realized that they couldn't refine that Yin-Yang Daoist essence at all, until they were half-dead from the backlash and desperately wanted to ask for help, then he would descend like a savior and take action to eliminate everything.
At that time, both the Yin-Yang Daoist Rhyme and the pair of Xuan Shen will be his for the taking.
Outside the cave, there are scattered rocks.
Kudu sat cross-legged behind a weathered rock. He suppressed his aura, even minimizing his spiritual connection with the outside world.
His gaze was fixed on the seemingly ordinary entrance to the cave ahead.
As for whether the male and female cultivators inside were the thieves who stole the pair of black and white Yin-Yang Xuan Shen, he needed to observe them further.
When Ning Bu'er came out to set up the formation earlier, he did indeed detect something unusual.
It was an indistinct aura of black and white Yin-Yang Xuan Shen (a type of ginseng).
Kudu immediately became suspicious.
However, since Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er had already refined the Xuan Shen through their dual cultivation technique, Ku Du could not draw any conclusions.
Kudu concealed his hands in his sleeves, his fingertips rapidly making calculations. Each calculation consumed a trace of his original magical power.
The hexagram remained unclear.
He tried to extract Chen Yi's destiny from the lingering aura, but each time he deduced it to a crucial point, it would be cut off by an invisible force.
That power carried the domineering force of thunder and the unpredictability of yin and yang.
Even with his exceptional divination skills, he could only vaguely sense the residual fluctuations through the refined Xuan Shen.
He stopped his deductions and opened his eyes. A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
We cannot go in rashly.
The cave is surrounded by a formation, which will alert the enemy.
He still needs to wait. He needs to see Ning Bu'er and Chen Yi to confirm whether the Xuan Shen has been refined by them.
If they really did it, the two of them would definitely still have residual drug effects on them.
Kudu firmly believed that the ginseng was of a very high grade and would not be easily refined by someone in just three days.
The two of them were at most at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Forcibly consuming high-grade Xuan Shen would inevitably lead to a backlash.
Inside the cave.
Chen Yi held the black and white magnetic ring.
It has a cool touch and its surface is shimmering with black and white light.
He was just about to figure out a way to refine the Yin-Yang Daoist energy there.
Suddenly, he sensed two high-level gazes descending upon them.
The feeling was very subtle. Both of these concerns had a strong causal relationship with him.
Chen Yi stopped what he was doing. He mobilized his divine sense and made a simple calculation along the thread of cause and effect.
One end of the causal line connects to the pile of rocks on the left side outside the cave, where the aura carries a suppressive force of Vajra origin, like a scorching torment.
The other end connects to a more distant place, exuding a cold, damp, and eerie aura; it should be a human-faced dragon.
Chen Yi quickly deduced that it was the Human-Faced Flood Dragon and Kudu hiding in the shadows.
"Heh, so you guys want to copy me too, to pull off a sneak attack," Chen Yi said in a low voice.
He could roughly guess what the two of them were thinking.
The root cause is still that pair of Yin-Yang Xuan Shen and this Yin-Yang Daoist essence.
These two must have been following the scent all the way here.
Kudu is proficient in the lower trigrams, while the human-faced dragon has an innate greed for the Daoist principles of Yin and Yang.
They were waiting outside, perhaps hoping to wait until he and Ning Bu'er reached a crucial moment in refining the Daoist essence before coming in to reap the benefits.
We need to come up with a solution.
Charging straight out would be risky, as it would put them at a disadvantage against two high-level combatants.
We need to find a way to resolve this.
Chen Yi thought for a moment and then pulled Ning Bu'er over.
"Chen Lang, what's wrong?" Ning Bu'er asked, noticing his strange expression.
"We have guests outside." Chen Yi looked at her. "The Human-Faced Flood Dragon and Kudu are guarding outside."
Ning Bu'er's expression changed, and he placed his hand on his storage bag: "They want to force their way in? Should I reinforce the formation now?"
"Don't waste your energy." Chen Yi released her hand. "They want to wait for us to mess up while refining the Dao essence, or for us to leave on our own. Both of them are scheming, and neither wants to be the first to act and let the other reap the benefits."
He instructed, "The refining process can't proceed step by step. We need to speed things up. In a moment, I'll draw out the Daoist essence, and you'll cooperate with me in dual cultivation of spirit and soul. We'll completely separate this Daoist essence."
Ning Bu'er nodded: "I'll listen to you."
Then, he and Ning Bu'er sat cross-legged facing each other.
The two adjusted their breathing, aligning the fluctuations of their magical energy.
Chen Yi stretched out his hands and placed his palms on Ning Bu'er's sternum.
A warm touch came from her palm, and Ning Bu'er's body stiffened for a moment before relaxing, allowing Chen Yi's magic power to probe into her meridians.
The two first engaged in a simple Yin-Yang dual cultivation.
The magical power formed a closed loop within their bodies, flowing along their meridians and emitting a faint rumbling sound.
After doing all this, Chen Yi used his divine sense and magical power to retrieve the Yin-Yang Daoist essence from the black and white magnetic ring.
As soon as the Daoist aura broke free from the binding of the Yuan Magnetic Ring, it began to struggle violently.
Black and white light intertwined and swirled, radiating violent energy fluctuations.
Although the Yin-Yang Daoist energy was violent, it had almost reached the fifth level.
Chen Yi steadied himself. He had prior experience refining the Black and White Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng.
At that time, the power of Xuan Shen was equally domineering, and he had already figured out a way to deal with the power of Yin and Yang.
With his current spiritual awareness and powerful body-refining cultivation, he is barely able to manipulate and control that Yin-Yang Daoist energy.
He increased the output of his magic power, forcibly suppressing the violent Daoist aura between the two of them.
Just as Chen Yi was drawing that Yin-Yang Daoist essence into his body through subtle, continuous movements...
His internal systems erupted.
The system panel flashed in my mind, decomposing and devouring the primordial power of the Yin-Yang Daoist rhythm one by one.
The originally violent fifth-order Daoist essence was transformed into extremely pure Yin-Yang dual cultivation energy under the system's decomposition.
These energies traveled upwards along Chen Yi's meridians, rushing straight into his sea of consciousness, and then becoming stronger than his own Yin-Yang divine soul power.
The little soul in the sea of consciousness greedily absorbed these powers, and its form visibly became more solid.
Chen Yi could feel his divine sense rapidly increasing.
Of course, if Chen Yi were given ten days or half a month, he could refine and digest this powerful Yin-Yang primordial energy on his own.
He could easily take all these powers for himself and elevate his cultivation to the next level.
But now there are several people guarding outside.
The Bitter Dragon and the Human-Faced Flood Dragon might lose patience and rush in at any moment.
There isn't enough time.
Ning Bu'er's current cultivation level is at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. If she can use this Daoist aura to enhance her divine sense, the subsequent benefits to her will be enormous.
You can't eat alone.
Therefore, Chen Yi chose to give Ning Bu'er the part of himself that he could not refine through dual cultivation of his palms.
He controlled that portion of pure primordial power, channeling it into Ning Bu'er's body through his palm, which was pressed against her sternum.
Ning Bu'er groaned, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, clearly enduring a tremendous impact.
Then, he and Ning Bu'er engaged in a brief dual cultivation of their souls.
This is not merely a fusion of magical powers, but also a communication at the level of divine consciousness.
Chen Yi transmitted this wisp of black and white Yin-Yang Daoist essence to Ning Bu'er through his divine soul.
The Daoist energy entered Ning Bu'er's sea of consciousness, cleansing her soul.
Then, this power circulated within Ning Bu'er's body once more. After flowing through her soul through this cleansing process, it returned to Chen Yi.
The two refined this Yin-Yang Daoist essence by imitating the cultivation method of the pair of Yin-Yang Xuan Shen embracing each other.
This method forms a perfect yin-yang cycle.
The Daoist energy circulated continuously within their bodies, and with each cycle, a portion of its power was extracted and integrated into their souls.
Efficiency has increased by more than several times.
The originally violent and unruly fifth-order Daoist essence became unusually docile under this cycle.
The effect also greatly enhanced their spiritual awareness and control over the power of origin.
Chen Yi could clearly sense that his soul was undergoing a transformation.
It's a bit of a pity, of course, that Ning Bu'er doesn't cultivate the Yin-Yang Divine Sense Dao. Her foundation isn't in divine sense, so her efficiency in absorbing Yin-Yang power is limited.
Her improvement wasn't as significant as Chen Yi's. However, it was enough for her.
There is no day and night cycle inside the cave.
And so, three days later.
Inside the cave, the two people, who were embracing each other, opened their eyes at the same time.
A glint of light flashed in Ning Bu'er's eyes.
She sensed her powerful divine sense and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Brother Chen," Ning Bu'er said, looking at Chen Yi, "I only recently broke through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, but I never expected my spiritual power to have advanced to the late-Nascent Soul stage!"
She clenched her fists, feeling the surging power within her.
"This Yin-Yang Daoist essence is truly too powerful."
Chen Yi chuckled upon hearing this.
He did not tell Ning Bu'er that his divine sense had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Moreover, his Yin-Yang Divine Soul Refining Technique had reached the limit of the third level.
Within Chen Yi's sea of consciousness.
The Yin-Yang divine consciousness transformed into two streams of black and white energy, which intertwined like two swimming dragons. Soul lightning transformed into purple arcs of electricity that weaved through the energy streams.
He manipulated these two forces, combining Yin-Yang divine sense with soul thunder, further refining and fusing them.
His consciousness churned within his sea of consciousness as he began to carve.
They meticulously crafted their facial features, body, and every detail.
With each strike of soul lightning, the outline of the divine consciousness figure became clearer.
Eyebrows and eyes.
Bridge of the nose.
Limbs.
Then his divine soul essence will soon manifest.
This is also the first step towards becoming a Yin spirit.
Similarly, this is the necessary path for cultivators to advance from the Divine Soul Realm to the Deity Transformation Realm.
Chen Yi opened his eyes.
These advancements are all thanks to the Yin-Yang essence that Ji Wuchen couldn't refine within his spiritual treasure.
At this moment, Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er were in better condition than ever before.
Chen Yi held Ji Wuchen's Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Ring spiritual treasure in his palm.
At this moment, after Chen Yi helped refine the raging Yin and Yang essence within, the artifact gradually returned to its full strength.
The cracks on the ring closed one by one, and the spirit within the magical artifact was fatally threatened and disappeared.
It throbbed in Chen Yi's palm, sending him a wave of gratitude through its spiritual sense.
Chen Yi smiled and accepted, but he didn't rush to leave.
There are three other people outside.
Ji Wuchen, Kudu, and the Human-Faced Flood Dragon.
We need to find a way to cover up the current situation.
Otherwise, the two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would have refined the fifth-order origin without suffering any damage.
Even a fool would know there's something wrong.
After a moment's thought, he transmitted his voice to Ning Bu'er: "Bu'er, I'm going to damage the surface part of your soul in a moment."
Ning Bu'er, look over here.
Chen Yi continued to transmit his voice: "Hide your divine soul essence deep within, and do not reveal your true strength."
Ning Bu nodded.
"This time, it took a great deal of effort from both of us to refine this Yin-Yang essence. We suffered severe injuries to our souls and spirits just to barely complete the refinement."
Chen Yi looked into Ning Bu'er's eyes.
"Furthermore, the Yin-Yang divine consciousness power within us, as well as the possible enhancements from refining the Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng earlier, all came from refining the Yin-Yang Origin Power this time."
"The previous Yin-Yang Xuan Shen has nothing to do with this one."
Regardless of whether it's true or not, just attribute all the improvement and impact to Ji Wuchen's spiritual treasure, so that Kudu and the Human-Faced Flood Dragon can't find any problems for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Ning Bu'er immediately understood.
In other words, the enhancement brought by the Scrophularia ningpoensis can be packaged as spoils of this desperate refining process. Even if Kudu searches for the whereabouts of the Scrophularia ningpoensis, he should be able to fool them for now.
Then, Chen Yi raised his hand.
He flicked a faint spark of soul lightning from his fingertip.
A spark flashed in the air and struck Ning Bu'er directly between the eyebrows.
Ning Bu'er felt a slight pain between his eyebrows.
Then, a huge fluctuation came from her outer soul, especially the Yin-Yang soul power, which was very unstable.
It was like a tangled mess running wildly in my mind, as if I had suffered a severe injury.
Ning Bu'er cooperated fully, immediately mobilizing her divine sense.
He concealed his inner divine essence deep within, revealing only the outward appearance, and his face instantly turned pale.
Chen Yi went even further, directly activating the soul lightning within his sea of consciousness.
A slight tremor.
He made his spiritual appearance appear listless, his face even paler than Ning Bu'er's.
The injury was quite severe, almost as if his very essence had been depleted.
After a while.
Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er walked out of the cave.
Chen Yi staggered, barely able to stand with Ning Bu'er's help. Pretending not to know about the human-faced dragon and Kudu hiding outside, Chen Yi walked towards Ji Wuchen.
