Chapter 59 Deep Soul Search
You didn't kill Ye Feng, you just put him into a deep sleep.
To you, Ye Feng, who is alive, is far more valuable than Ye Feng, who is dead.
In the first simulation, Ye Feng cultivated from the third level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining perfection in just over thirty years.
[They were cultivating a top-tier technique like the "Mountain and Sea Manual," making progress extremely difficult.]
You speculate that Ye Feng possesses other talents.
In the world of cultivation, spiritual roots are simply the most widespread type of talent.
Besides spiritual roots, there are many other talents, such as precious bodies, Dao bodies, and innate bodies.
The former are numerous but have a low minimum potential, while the latter are rare but have an incredibly high minimum potential; even the worst Treasure Body or Dao Body can rival the Earth-grade Spiritual Root talent.
In addition, you are also very interested in Ye Feng's memories.
[The specific experiences after entering the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, and where to find the Mountain and Sea Ring, etc.]
[You can only obtain these through soul searching if Ye Feng is alive.]
[In the second simulation, you were only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. You were worried about being caught off guard, so you quickly killed Ye Feng without leaving any survivors to prevent any unexpected changes.]
[But this simulation? You're already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, facing Ye Feng who's still in the early Qi Refining stage. You don't even know what kind of accident could cause you to fail.]
Your expression turned slightly serious. You didn't immediately pay attention to Ye Feng, but instead looked at his storage bag.
[You extended your magic power and swiftly refined the storage bag, then directly took out the inconspicuous sky-blue ring from it.]
Without any hesitation, you took out a Tier 3 sealing jade box, placed the sky-blue ring inside, closed the box, and then affixed five sealing talismans, including two Tier 3 sealing talismans.
Only now do you feel slightly relieved.
[You do not intend to confront Blood Sea True Person until you have a specific method to target the essence of a Core Formation True Person.]
When facing a real person, even if it's just their spirit, it's always good to be cautious.
As for the Core Formation chapter of the "Mountain and Sea Manual"? You are still in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and are far from Core Formation, so there's no rush.
[Anyway, you still have a lot of lifespan left. Now that Blood Sea Immortal and the Mountain and Sea Ring are both in your hands, you can take your time.]
After doing everything, you finally looked at Ye Feng, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
After confirming that there were no other cultivators nearby, you put Ye Feng into a large sack.
After cleaning up the scene, you took Ye Feng to a cave several miles away.
The Soul Searching Technique requires a quiet, undisturbed environment.
Inside the cave, you carefully examine Ye Feng lying in front of you.
Instead of immediately using the Soul Searching Technique, you first determined what talents Ye Feng possessed.
[You unleashed your mountain and sea magic power, beginning to examine every inch of Ye Feng's physical body, while also using your divine sense to assist in the examination.]
[A Foundation Establishment cultivator's dual examination of mana and divine sense allows you to perceive the special nature of Ye Feng's body.]
[You discover that Ye Feng's skeleton is different from that of a normal cultivator; it is a deep blue color, and you seem to vaguely see endless water-based spiritual energy within it.]
"Water-based spiritual power...is it the Water Spirit Body?"
[Your expression is solemn. Ye Feng's deep blue bones are almost identical to the description of the Water Spirit Body in the records.]
Of course, Ye Feng's Water Spirit Body is still in a state of immersion and has not yet awakened.
Therefore, they are no different from ordinary cultivators.
[After awakening, the Water Spirit Body will no longer have dark blue bones; instead, its flesh and organs will all contain incomparably pure water-based spiritual energy.]
[The Water Spirit Body is naturally drawn to water-based spiritual energy, and its speed in absorbing and refining water-based spiritual energy rivals that of a Grade Earth Spiritual Root. Furthermore, its power in casting water-based spells is greater than that of other cultivators at the same level.]
"It's a pity...it's a man..."
You gazed at Ye Feng, and sighed inwardly.
Have you heard of some dual cultivation methods that allow one to absorb the essence of the precious body and the Dao body to nourish oneself?
However, this is on the premise that the body or Dao body whose essence is being replenished is of a different gender than the individual's own.
Only in this way can one utilize the power of Yin and Yang circulation through dual cultivation to replenish one's original essence and nourish oneself.
[Since you and Ye Feng are both male cultivators, this type of dual cultivation method is naturally not applicable to you.]
"However, they can be sold to other forces through the black market in exchange for valuable resources."
You thought to yourself.
The value of a cultivator with a Water Spirit Body is greater than that of an ordinary cultivator with an Earth Spirit Root.
Whether used as a furnace or for training successors, it has extremely high value.
[You've been in Azure Moon Immortal City for nearly twenty years, and you have extensive connections. You know that there's a black market in the shadows of the city, specifically for trading 'contraband resources' that are openly traded.]
Even in the black market of the immortal city, one can find traces of demonic cultivators.
It's not uncommon to see beautiful female cultivators or cultivators of specific value being sold on the black market.
As for whether there will be any hidden dangers after selling Ye Feng... such as him returning to seek revenge after achieving success in his cultivation.
There's no need to worry; Ye Feng has never known who you are.
Even if you participate in the black market, you won't do so under your real identity, so Ye Feng will have nowhere to seek revenge.
"Let's search your soul."
[You gather your thoughts and begin to perform the Soul Searching Technique]
[You are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while Ye Feng is only at the early Qi Refining stage. Due to the huge difference in their cultivation levels, the memories you obtain from Ye Feng's soul search will be completely complete.]
Furthermore, Ye Feng will not suffer any irreversible injuries after being subjected to soul searching.
[To ensure nothing is missed, the soul-searching technique you used on Ye Feng was a deep soul search.]
As your divine sense continues to seep into Ye Feng's sea of consciousness, his memories begin to unfold before you.
[Memories from birth and early childhood are presented in their entirety, without any omissions]
"She does have some tricks up her sleeve."
By browsing Ye Feng's memories, you learn why Ye Feng was able to embark on the path of cultivation.
Ye Feng was born into a farming family in a mortal land. By chance, he encountered a cultivator who was seriously injured.
Taking advantage of the severely injured cultivator's unconscious state, Ye Feng killed him and stole his treasure, obtaining a Qi cultivation manual, thus embarking on the path of cultivation.
As the reader delves deeper into Ye Feng's memories, the scene quickly shifts to the point where he enters the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.
In Ye Feng's memory, after entering the secret realm, the world was shrouded in darkness. He randomly chose a direction and arrived at a dilapidated palace.
The palace was protected by a protective barrier. Although hundreds of years had passed and the barrier had weakened considerably, Ye Feng still paid a heavy price to be able to enter.
Upon entering the palace, Ye Feng saw a broken statue of a deity and several magical artifacts placed on a high platform. The Mountain and Sea Ring was not on the platform, but rather at the feet of the broken statue.
After taking the magical artifacts from the high platform, Ye Feng obtained many spiritual herbs and materials in the medicine garden behind the palace, including the two main ingredients for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Finally, Ye Feng returned to the broken statue within the palace, casually picked up the sky-blue ring, and then, as he was about to examine the broken statue...
Having touched the restriction on the statue, Ye Feng was already outside the secret realm when his vision returned.
Before Ye Feng could even react, his consciousness plummeted into darkness; he had been knocked unconscious.
"That statue?"
[You pause Ye Feng's memory, freezing it on the broken statue inside the palace.]
[A look of surprise appeared on your face.]
