CHAPTER 179: CHAPTER 179: CELESTIAL SOUL TECHNIQUE

In the room, the aroma of tea pervades.

The scent of Spiritual Cuisine Meat lingers in the air, unable to dissipate for a long time.

Ye Jingcheng’s body finally moved. He took a deep breath and sipped the slightly cold Spirit Tea again.

Despite the bitterness, a sense of joy welled up in his heart.

This Storage Jade Bracelet was harder to unlock than he had imagined.

As a result, he even had to put off the Spirit Tea and Spiritual Cuisine.

But in the next moment, upon seeing the Storage Space, Ye Jingcheng felt immensely satisfied again.

He saw that the Storage Space was incredibly large, about fifty square units, much bigger than his previous Storage Bag!

However, inside it was quite empty, with not many items.

A wooden shelf, a golden box, and a few coffins.

Ye Jingcheng naturally disliked the coffins, even if they contained refined corpses that could be sold for Spirit Stones.

After all, any refined corpse must have long since been taken out for use.

The remaining ones might still be fresh bodies, possibly with some residual warmth. Though he wasn’t superstitious, it was still uncomfortable.

Ye Jingcheng first looked at the wooden shelf.

The treasures on the shelf were not many, only a green ruler and a few Spirit Talismans, which were all used for escape.

The ruler was a Tier Two Middle-grade Spiritual Artifact, with a lot of Spirit Patterns on it, and seemed powerful. He infused a bit of Liquid Spiritual Power into it, and it emitted a decent Spiritual Light.

Ye Jingcheng was not an Artifact Refiner, and since the ruler hadn’t been completely refined, he couldn’t judge its power, but surely it had to be powerful to be retained by the refined corpse.

Ye Jingcheng sensibly put the ruler into his possession.

Then he looked at the Spirit Talismans.

To his delight, there was a Tier Two Cyan Spirit Talisman and a Tier Two Water Escape Spirit Talisman among them.

It compensated for Ye Jingcheng’s consumption of Spirit Talismans. The remaining talismans were just Tier One ones without anything special.

Beyond the talismans were several bottles and jars of Elixirs, but there were no labels on the pill bottles, and even as an Alchemy Master, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t identify those of the Evil Cultivators.

He could only take out the pill bottles and gently uncork them.

As an Alchemy Master, just by smelling the pill’s scent and studying it with his Divine Sense, he could roughly judge some of the medicinal powers.

He had honed this ability both at Lingyun Peak and Sha Yun Mountain.

However, he was still wary of Poison Pills, so he only opened a slight crack.

The refined corpse was highly cunning and could even produce Talisman Treasures, so hiding some Poison Pills wasn’t surprising.

Fortunately, in the end, there were no Poison Pills, but he did find a crimson Pill.

This Elixir contained the element of Bursting Flower, which Ye Jingcheng guessed was related to the final outburst of Celestial and Earth Fiends.

It should be a pill that overdraws potential.

This pill was also the highest grade among them, reaching the level of a Tier Two Middle-grade.

As for additional Elixirs, they were only Essence Blood Pills.

Most of these Essence Blood Pills were refined from Spirit Beast blood, with a small portion from cultivators’ Essence Blood.

Ye Jingcheng took out all these Essence Blood Pills as well, planning to sell them to his family for them to handle.

This was his way of solving hidden dangers for the family, and all treasures belonged to him.

No need to turn them over.

Ye Jingcheng then looked at the row of Jade Talismans.

He was very much looking forward to these Jade Talismans.

After all, this Cultivator was indeed unusual, possessing even a Talisman Treasure.

He picked up the first Jade Talisman and pressed it against his forehead, carefully reading it.

In the next moment, his face turned incredibly joyful.

This first Jade Talisman was none other than a Secret Technique for honing Divine Sense.

Even in the Ye Family, such a Secret Technique was rare, with only one known, and said to have very stringent conditions.

Fortunately, the Ye Family controlled Spirit Beasts using Blood Contract and Beast Communication Pattern.

The requirement for Divine Sense wasn’t as demanding, but for Insect Cultivators and Pill Cultivators, weak Divine Sense could be quite troublesome.

This Divine Sense Secret Technique was named the Celestial Soul Technique.

According to the Secret Technique records, if cultivated to the highest level, one could even condense a Celestial Soul.

In the ancient texts of the Cultivation Realm, a person’s Divine Soul couldn’t leave the body unless reaching the Golden Core Realm, at which point the Divine Soul becomes solidified, commonly known as the Celestial Soul, and it can exist outside the body.

Golden Core Cultivators can be reborn using their Golden Core.

This is because the Core contains the unique Celestial Soul of Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

However, after reading, Ye Jingcheng felt a bit of regret.

This Secret Technique contained only a small portion, lacking the secret to cultivating the Celestial Soul.

It could only cultivate a so-called Earth Soul.

According to the Secret Technique, cultivating an Earth Soul could enhance Divine Sense by a small tier, and even without further cultivation, one’s Divine Sense would slightly grow every day.

This slight increase might not show results short-term, but over the long run, the benefits to a Cultivator could be substantial.

Especially for an Alchemy Cultivator like him, it was as if he had divine aid.

Moreover, he was also an Insect Cultivator, and the reason Ye Xingqun couldn’t control a larger group of Black Wood Ants wasn’t that he couldn’t cultivate them, but he couldn’t manage so many, as it easily led to chaos.

But if his Divine Sense was stronger, this wouldn’t be a problem.

Ye Jingcheng carefully put the Celestial Soul Technique away for safekeeping.

This Cultivation Technique not only represented his future but also allowed him to earn a significant amount of Contribution Points from the family.

The Contribution Points might cover the Demon Pill for the Golden Scale Beast’s advancement and his fourth Spirit Beast’s Contribution Points.

Furthermore, this Secret Technique also made him reflective; he roughly guessed this Green-haired Corpse’s situation.

The so-called Celestial Fiend and Earth Fiend were all this Green-haired Corpse’s Soul Splits.

No wonder the Celestial and Earth Fiends dared to assault the Ye Family’s Grand Array with an array.

Because even if something went wrong, the Green Corpse could escape, and after its Divine Sense recovered, it could split another pair of Soul Splits, groom them meticulously, and find two Foundation Establishment Cultivators to possess, reviving new Celestial and Earth Fiends.

Moreover, the method of condensing an Earth Soul was quite simple: to nurture the Main Soul and two Soul Splits to the extreme, then merge them.

He guessed that the names of the Celestial and Earth Fiends were also linked to the Celestial Soul Technique.

But unfortunately, though the Green Corpse had a great act, it was still tracked down by Ye Jingcheng, who was one step ahead.

After reading the first Jade Talisman, Ye Jingcheng moved on to the second Jade Talisman.

This Jade Talisman recorded the way to cultivate refined corpses.

And the levels of refined corpses.

The lowest level was the Black Corpse, generally Tier One, a notch higher was the Green Corpse, at Tier Two, and the Tier Three existence was called the Flying Corpse, capable of flying in the air and extremely vicious.

Ye Jingcheng was puzzled, as this Green Corpse was obviously a Cultivator, so why did it look the way it did?

He noticed this peculiarity but couldn’t find the reason.

He looked through the Jade Talisman and discovered another crucial piece of information.

Celestial Corpse Sect’s Basic Corpse Control Skill!

It recorded the standard Blood Contract for refined corpses!

Although regular refined corpses lack sentience, the Blood Contract for controlling them is indeed different.

After all, the core of refined corpses is Essence Blood.

Most refined corpses lack intelligence.

The Blood Contract for control is naturally different as well.

Ye Jingcheng read for a while, then stopped and continued to check other Jade Talismans.

Ultimately, Ye Jingcheng discovered a Celestial Corpse Order!
