All other materials for refining the fourth-level soul-refining pill have been gathered, and the refining method and material ratios have also been mastered, but the only thing missing is the Time Sand.
Moreover, photo-cathode materials are the main ingredients and are indispensable.
Chen Lin's idea was that he still had a few Time Snails left that were used to refine the first-level Soul Refining Pill, and he was thinking of using this thing as a substitute.
Of course, the efficacy of the medicine is definitely not enough.
So he wanted to eat the lucky lobster he got last time, and use the power of luck to forcibly move the thread of fate and make the elixir successful.
As long as ordinary photoluminescent screws can achieve the level that is theoretically feasible, there is hope of success.
However, he had originally kept this lobster for use in severing the thread of cause and effect. It was a pity to use it here, and the key point was not sure whether it would succeed.
But advancing to Gintama is more urgent, so it can only be used temporarily as an emergency measure.
But before Chen Lin could start trying, Princess Qinghua brought him good news: he had obtained a spot to use the Soul Refining Pool!
"My dear, the Soul Refining Pool consumes a huge amount of materials to open once, and the royal treasury is running out of materials. His Majesty has taken out all his treasures for this opening, so I can only agree to let you help fight against the four major families' attempt to force the emperor to abdicate."
In the royal secret place, Princess Qinghua walked forward with Chen Lin while explaining carefully.
"No problem."
Chen Lin smiled and said, "Since they have used so many rare materials, it is only natural for me to help them. Besides, this is not only to help Your Majesty, but also to help you clear the obstacles. Why should I be unhappy?"
Hearing Chen Lin's "sweet words", Princess Qinghua's eyes suddenly lit up and her body leaned on Chen Lin involuntarily.
Chen Lin held the other person and once again marveled at the weirdness of the dual cultivation secret technique. He became even more wary of Qiu Daoxuan.
This secret technique was not bestowed by gods, but left by this person. It is so powerful to leave such a casual inheritance. You can imagine how powerful the other party is.
However, he felt that there couldn't be anything in this world that had no solution. This secret technique must have a way to restrain it, or some limitations, otherwise it would be too exaggerated.
Thinking about things in their minds, the two of them walked into an underground palace.
The place was heavily guarded, but with the orders from Princess Qinghua and His Majesty, they were able to pass through unhindered and reached a secret room at the innermost part.
After entering, there is a small pool filled with a somewhat sticky black liquid, emitting strong energy fluctuations.
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment. The energy fluctuation was very similar to the fluctuation of the Soul Refining Pill. It seemed that they came from the same source, both from the hand of Qiu Daoxuan.
I don’t know whether he came up with it himself based on the orbiting beast, or borrowed it from the inheritance of his predecessors. If it is the former, this person can be called a genius.
He was alert.
Such a person cannot stop at the stage of refining the void, not to mention that he has a powerful family to back him up. He may have already become a higher-level existence. Therefore, he must not be lucky and covet the other party's treasures and rewards. When the soul refining is completed, he will go out and throw away the flying knife magic treasure.
It is better not to use the Boundary Breaking Talisman if possible, to reduce the possibility of being tracked as much as possible.
But he couldn't throw away the black stick elixir. What if he had been marked by the other party through unknown means? When he went out and was found by the other party, if he couldn't give him what they wanted, they would probably kill him to vent their anger.
With this thing, although there is a possibility of being silenced, there is room for maneuver.
In addition, if the other party really values this item, they would not do anything to it. Spiritual medicine is very delicate. If it is invaded by the slightest alien aura, it may cause it to wither and die. The other party will definitely not take such a risk.
"My dear, the soul-refining liquid in the pool has been prepared. You can soak and absorb it. I'll wait for you outside."
Although Princess Qinghua really wanted to bathe with Chen Lin, in order not to affect Chen Lin's practice, she suppressed her restlessness and walked out.
Chen Lin took a deep breath and entered the soul refining pool.
As soon as I touched the liquid, I felt a trace of energy entering my body.
His expression changed. This feeling was too familiar. It was almost the same as the Soul Refining Pill, except that it was not as pure as the Soul Refining Pill's energy, but was a little more complicated.
However, this liquid also contains the same energy as the fourth-level soul-refining pill that allows soul light particles to attract each other, but it is very weak.
This situation made him suspect that the materials used to make this liquid also contained time-related items.
However, the method of preparing the soul refining liquid is the biggest secret of the royal family. Even Princess Qinghua doesn't know it yet. It will take some effort to figure it out.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin put aside all distracting thoughts and focused on absorbing the energy from the soul refining pool.
Although the energy of the liquid in the pool was complex, the amount was huge, far beyond what one or two Soul Refining Pills could compare to. It took three days and three nights to absorb all the energy.
However, the effect did not reach the expected optimal state.
Chen Lin got up from the pool. The liquid had now turned into clear water, and soaking in it would just be a simple bath.
He checked his body and found that the missing light particles in his soul had been completely filled.
but.
Not to mention advancement, even the second condensation has not been completed. What is supplemented is just ordinary light particles with a higher density. If you want to condense it completely, you need at least a fourth-level soul refining pill, and even that is not enough.
Although a little disappointed, Chen Lin had expected this.
After all, this soul refining pool has always existed and many royal disciples have used it. If it really had such a strong effect, there wouldn’t be not a single person who had completed a soul refining, making Princess Qinghua stand out from the crowd.
The greatest effect of the Soul Refining Pool is to make the soul produce silver light particles, which is only slightly more effective than the second-level Soul Refining Pill.
The secret art of soul fusion is the important means for the Soul Kingdom's supernatural powers to advance to the Silver Soul.
"It seems that I still need to refine the fourth-level soul-refining pill. Moreover, it is still unknown whether the fourth-level soul-refining pill can be advanced. It is better to find out whether there are any time-related treasures in the royal treasury first!"
Chen Lin muttered something in his heart, then walked out of the secret room.
But he was not in a hurry to leave. Deep in this secret place was the space node that Qiu Daoxuan and the Emperor's uncle had mentioned. Now that he was here, he naturally had to go and take a look.
"My dear, are you really going to leave?"
Upon hearing Chen Lin's request, Princess Qinghua's face turned pale and she spoke in a low voice.
Chen Lin sighed inwardly at his fate, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Although this place is called a world, it is actually just a cage. You must remember that if you can be promoted to Gintama one day, it is better to leave here."
Seeing Chen Lin say this, Princess Qinghua immediately showed curiosity and asked, "What does it look like outside?"
"Outside?"
Chen Lin looked into the depths of the secret place and said, "It is vast and colorful. It has infinite dangers and infinite possibilities."
At this point he changed the subject and said, "Well, let's go to the place where the node is first. You know now that what's happening outside is meaningless and will only add to your troubles."
Seeing that Chen Lin was unwilling to say more, Princess Qinghua did not ask any further questions and took Chen Lin deeper into the cave.
She had lived here since she was a child and did not feel that there was anything wrong with her, nor did she think that this was a cage. Instead, she found it strange that Chen Lin had no life rope, so she did not have a strong yearning for the outside world.
The Midi is actually an underground cave-like existence, winding and very deep.
It would be really hard to find the place if no one is with you.
Moreover, the entire secret area was guarded by royal guards, and patrol teams followed one after another, which made Chen Lin feel that there seemed to be some secret here.
"My dear, it's just ahead!"
After passing a passage, Princess Qinghua stopped and pointed ahead and spoke.
Without the other party saying anything, Chen Lin already felt something was wrong.
There was an open area ahead, but everything was covered by rolling black fog.
Even from such a distance, he could still feel the horrifying and deadly aura emanating from the black fog.
But for some reason, the black fog only stayed inside and did not spread towards him.
"Um?"
Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on Chen Lin's face.
He took a few tentative steps forward. The black fog became thicker and thicker, and the strange look on his face became more and more intense.
"What's wrong, my dear?"
Princess Qinghua walked forward and looked at Chen Lin and asked.
Then he explained, "This black fog is extremely harmful to the soul, and it gets thicker the deeper you go. Although it is rumored that there is a node to leave this world at the deepest point, no one has ever actually seen it. Even the Emperor's uncle has never gone deep into the deepest point."
Chen Lin took a deep look at the black fog, nodded and said, "It is indeed very powerful. If you don't go to Gintama, you will probably be killed. Let's go back first!"
Princess Qinghua's face lit up with joy.
She thought that the thicker the black fog was, the better, so that her lover would not be able to leave and could always stay by her side.
She was happy, but Chen Lin's heart was filled with emotions.
The aura of this black fog is unexpectedly the same as the energy released by the Soul-Destroying Finger!
Could it be that the Soul-Destroying Finger was also left behind by Qiu Daoxuan
It could also be Qiu Daoli. After all, Qiu Daoli had definitely been to the interface where the Starry Continent was located, and the Silver Fairy's family was also related to the cultivators from the upper realm who had descended there at that time.
This speculation made him terrified.
So many soul secrets are related to the Qiu family of Tianxuan Domain. This family must be mainly based on the soul and must be very powerful.
The more Chen Lin thought about it, the more he felt that he could not have anything to do with the Qiu family, and he could not expect them to be reasonable. No one who could carve out a place for himself in the world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak would be reasonable.
After leaving the secret place, Chen Lin asked Princess Qinghua to help him find some time-related materials, and then he came to a lava area and threw the flying knife magic treasure into it.
As he didn't know whether the Boundary Breaking Talisman could be used for the time being, he didn't throw it away. He placed it in a special box together with the Black Stick Elixir and affixed countless sealing talismans on it.
Only then did he feel relieved and returned to the Prince's Mansion.
Then he received information from Princess Qinghua, saying that a time-related item had been found!
