CHAPTER 755: CHAPTER 622: INGENIOUS POSSESSION, VENTURING INTO THE TIGER’S DEN

When Ye Lingyue and Die Mei saw the "Ye Lingyue" lying on the bed, Die Mei understood everything.

"Master, it’s after you suffered an attack by a spiritual artifact that you were forced to leave your physical body. This mother and daughter pair really are despicable enough to do such an outrageous thing. Those so-called reputable sects in the Human Realm are no different."

Seeing the protective golden light emitting from Ye Lingyue’s physical body, Die Mei could guess that it was caused by a reputed sect’s spiritual artifact.

Fortunately, both Ye Lingyue and Die Mei’s soul power were strong, otherwise, if it had been an ordinary Earth Evil, just that layer of protective golden light would have been enough to annihilate them.

"However, master, you shouldn’t be completely disappointed. You still have a chance. Since that physical body is yours, as long as you have the opportunity to return to it within these seven days and nights, you can certainly force the soul inside it to come out." Die Mei said as she walked around the bed.

"But I can’t go in, and that’s the reason I sought you out." Earlier, when Die Mei transformed into Wang Xiaodie, she had chosen a weak-willed girl, devoured her soul, and possessed her body to conceal her Earth Evil scent.

"Master, have you noticed this protective golden light? Although it’s currently strong, it’s like an oil lamp without added oil. Just wait a few more days, and it will definitely burn out. Then, you can take advantage and enter, and as for the soul occupying your place, I don’t mind at all taking her back to the Earth Evil Prison." Die Mei was never a compassionate person.

Ye Lingyue’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

But then, looking at the protective golden light on Xue Pianran, it seemed that the golden light wouldn’t disappear anytime soon.

"According to my estimation, it will take about five to six days for the protective golden light to weaken to its lowest. That would be the perfect time for you to enter," Die Mei said confidently. "Master, if you are bored, you can wander around for these few days or even possess a few people for fun. You know, for a soul, devouring other spirits is a very good option."

Die Mei smiled wickedly, having left the Chaos Heaven and Earth Array not too long ago, she understandably didn’t want to miss such an excellent opportunity of "supplementing" her power.

The Earth Evils in Earth Evil Prison simply couldn’t compare to the nourishing souls of living people from the Human Realm.

Moreover, right after Die Mei came out, she discovered that this place was surrounded by Alchemists whose souls and spiritual power were superior.

If she could devour a few more Alchemists, her cultivation would certainly soar.

Ye Lingyue clearly disagreed with Die Mei’s method of devouring living human souls.

Yet, having to face her own physical body every day, and the thought of Xue Pianran inside it made her extremely uncomfortable.

Thus, unable to resist Die Mei’s incitement, the two took the opportunity to possess the bodies of two maids sent by Chen Hongru to guard the room, and sneaked out.

When Ye Lingyue’s soul entered the body of the maid named Little Qiang.

The soul of that maid was devoured by her not long after.

Devouring a soul for the first time did not feel good.

But as Die Mei mentioned, devouring living human souls could significantly enhance one’s spiritual power.

Ye Lingyue could feel that her soul, weakened by the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform, had become much clearer all of a sudden.

This made Ye Lingyue sigh, no wonder those who practiced Evil Techniques preferred using them.

Putting aside the discomfort this method caused Ye Lingyue, it must be said that devouring souls was the fastest cultivation technique.

Ye Lingyue thought it was simple, but in reality, even an Evil Method practitioner with notable cultivation would need a lot of time and spiritual power to devour a living human soul.

Ye Lingyue’s soul was so domineering entirely because she had the Qian Cauldron within her soul.

Beside her, the maid named Xiao Wei had also been completely devoured by Die Mei, who then stood up. Though it was the same body, the aura it emitted was completely different, due to the different soul inside.

Xiao Wei twisted her neck and body, and with a look unique to Die Mei, stared at Ye Lingyue.

"How does it feel, swallowing a soul for the first time? Is it horrible?"

Die Mei knew very well what Ye Lingyue was experiencing. Before entering the Earth Evil Prison, she was also an innocent lady from a respectable family, even frowning at the thought of killing a person.

But now, after struggling in the Earth Evil Prison for decades, her original kindness had long been extinguished.

As long as it was for survival, she was willing to do anything.

"It’s much better than I expected, especially after I found out that this maid named Little Qiang was Chen Hongru’s close servant."

Chen Hongru was not a good person, and this so-called Little Qiang was no better.

After devouring her soul, Ye Lingyue also obtained some of Little Qiang’s memories.

In Little Qiang’s memories, she found quite a few things about Chen Hongru.

"I need to part ways with you for now and find some palatable food," Die Mei flirted with Ye Lingyue with a wink.

As Ye Lingyue watched her approach a middle-aged Alchemist, she couldn’t help but cough softly.

Without a doubt, she knew what Die Mei was up to.

The men in the Dan Palace were probably in for a rough time.

However, she had no interest in the lives and deaths of those Alchemists of the Dan Palace.

With several maids taking care of Xue Pianran, and Little Qiang’s turn coming around only every three days, Ye Lingyue calculated that in about six days, when the Protective Golden Light was weakest, she could take the opportunity to reclaim her body.

She needed to make good use of these six days.

The last time Ye Lingyue came to the Dan Palace, it was for a civilian selection and she did not have the chance to enter and properly explore the Dan Palace. This time, however, she entered in the role of a palace maid and fully toured the place.

After spending a day, Ye Lingyue gained a general understanding of the Dan Palace.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingyue also learned that before long, Chen Hongru would also be heading to Sifang City to participate in the World’s First Refining.

"Sister Qiang, Master Hong Ru is calling for you."

Just after Ye Lingyue finished her tour of the Dan Palace and was about to head back, an Alchemist approached and spoke.

Ye Lingyue nodded and went to Master Hong Ru’s Alchemy Room.

Chen Hongru was busy with Alchemy, and seeing that it was Little Qiang who entered, he didn’t pay much attention.

He simply waved his hand, and the lids of two large cauldrons that were as tall as a person opened simultaneously.

Two different Elixir Fragrances filled the room, nearly suffocating.

Dozens of elixirs, colored like roses, flew out of the cauldrons and landed in two Jade Bottles held by Chen Hongru.

"Little Qiang, these are two types of Elixir Pills specially refined by the Dan Palace at the Emperor’s request. Take them to the palace and hand them directly to the Empress," said Chen Hongru.

With a wave of his hand, the Elixir Bottles fell into Ye Lingyue’s hands.
