Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 704: Refine Wind Crystal

A group of people followed and entered.

As they walked, Du Youyou looked at Xiao Yi disapprovingly.

"Xiao Yi, are you cold-blooded?" she asked. "Just now, considering Princess Fengxu’s plight, wouldn’t anyone worry?"

"That’s because you’re foolish," Xiao Yi replied irritably.

"Unless Princess Fengxu is a fool, why would she harm herself?"

"Since she is not a fool, it proves that she hurt herself for a reason."

"If that’s the case, what is there to worry about?"

"Let’s go."

After saying this, Xiao Yi stepped into the barrier.

Du Youyou hurriedly followed.

As soon as her front foot had entered the barrier, the scene behind her changed dramatically.

It was an endless world of snow and wind.

Everywhere, there was an expanse of white.

From the sky, snow fell, though not heavily, with occasional flakes drifting down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Fengxu Secret Realm," Princess Fengxu said with a smile.

"The Fengxu Secret Realm has three layers; this is just the first layer."

"Here, danger lurks everywhere, but there are also great opportunities."

"Of course, what opportunity you can seize still depends on your own abilities."

"..."

Princess Fengxu probably explained a bit to everyone.

Xiao Yi also roughly understood what the Ancient Secret Realm was all about.

The so-called Ancient Secret Realm was, in fact, an independent world.

This world was sealed by an ancient barrier, inaccessible without the ’key’.

The ’key’ to the Fengxu Secret Realm was the bloodline of the Fengxu Royal Family.

In essence, this world was a vast land of danger.

Within the land of danger, there were opportunities and treasures and so on.

Moreover, inside the Secret Realm, the Spiritual Energy was much denser than in the outside world.

Thus, this place was also a treasure land for cultivation.

Cultivating here was more than ten times faster than outside.

Whoosh...

Right then, a white figure swiftly leapt towards them.

"Princess, be careful!" Li Hao shouted, striking with his palm. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Under the surging Primordial Power, the attacking shadow was killed on the spot.

"Hmm? A Wind Wolf?" Du Youyou said, looking at the white figure on the ground with a puzzled face.

The figure that had attacked them was, indeed, a Wind Wolf.

"No... it’s not a Wind Wolf. Wind Wolves aren’t that strong," Du Youyou said in surprise.

Judging by the speed of the figure just now, it was at least above the Peak of Earth Origin Realm.

Ordinary Wind Wolves, at most, possess the strength of the Innate Realm and are considered very weak demon beasts.

"Whatever the demon beast is," Li Hao said proudly, "with me here, I will ensure the princess is unharmed."

"Such inferior beasts, I can kill with one palm."

Princess Fengxu smiled and explained, "That is indeed a Wind Wolf, but a mutated one."

"The demon beasts within the Fengxu Secret Realm may seem ordinary, but they are all very strong."

"Their bodies contain a different kind of inner core than ordinary demon beasts, called Wind Crystals."

"Wind Crystals?" the crowd expressed their confusion.

At that moment, from not far away, over a hundred chilling Ghost Lights suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It was again the Wind Wolves.

But this time, there were many of them.

The Wind Wolves, with bloodthirsty intent in their eyes, seemed ready to tear apart any prey.

"Awooo," a beast howled.

Hundreds of Wind Wolves leapt swiftly towards them.

"A bunch of cursed beasts, courting death," Li Hao said proudly, glancing at Princess Fengxu before shouting loudly.

In a flash, he charged into the pack of Wind Wolves.

In just a few minutes, hundreds of Wind Wolves were all slain.

A few that slipped through the net and attacked them were killed by a casual wave of Sword Qi from Xiao Yi.

With a slight move of his hand, the inner cores from these few Wind Wolves were sucked into Xiao Yi’s palm.

He looked at them briefly.

These cores, completely green and crystal clear, were perfectly round.

"What strange inner cores, Wind Crystals, huh?" Xiao Yi muttered to himself while looking at the inner cores in his hand.

These cores, no, Wind Crystals, contained extremely pure Primordial Power.

The grade and the power they contain only reach the Earth Element Peak level.

Yet their purity has reached the Heavenly Origin Realm.

"Earth Origin Realm’s Peak level purity has actually reached the Heavenly Origin Realm?" Xiao Yi frowned.

Martial Artists, the further they cultivate, the purer their Primordial Power becomes.

Earth Origin Realm, Heavenly Origin Realm, Earth Extreme Realm...

This kind of purity completely crushes the previous realm.

In the Earth Origin Realm, Primordial Power is merely gaseous.

In the Heavenly Origin Realm, Primordial Power turns to liquid.

The gap between the two is evident.

With the same amount of Primordial Power, the purer it is, naturally the more powerful it will be.

"Young Master Xiao Yi has a keen eye," said Princess Fengxu with a light laugh at that time.

At the same time, Li Hao returned, his figure flashing handsomely back to his original spot.

But he found that Princess Fengxu hadn’t glanced at him at all and was instead talking with Xiao Yi.

"Damn it," a venomous jealousy flashed through Li Hao’s eyes.

"Oh, Li Hao, you’ve come back," Princess Fengxu finally noticed his return.

As she spoke, Princess Fengxu picked up a Wind Crystal.

In her hand, she suddenly gathered a burst of flames.

"These Wind Crystals contain extremely pure power and are rare items for cultivation."

"But, these Wind Crystals need to be refined."

"As to how exactly to do it, all of you are skilled Alchemists, so I presume I need not say further."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately took out their Alchemy Furnaces and attempted to refine the crystals.

Du Youyou also took a Wind Crystal from Xiao Yi’s hand and took out her Alchemy Furnace to start refining.

Bang... Bang... Bang...

One after another flame condensed.

Everyone began to refine the Wind Crystals in the Alchemy Furnaces.

The entire scene, only Princess Fengxu and Xiao Yi were motionless.

Princess Fengxu merely watched the others with a detached look.

Xiao Yi, without needing to take out an Alchemy Furnace, casually conjured a flame, and in just a few seconds refined the Wind Crystal.

The refined Wind Crystal seemed to have a layer of outer clothing peeled away.

A pure mass of power appeared in Xiao Yi’s hand.

Xiao Yi absorbed it, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

On the other side, several minutes later, everyone else finally completed the refinement of the Wind Crystals.

"Such pure Primordial Power," came murmurs of admiration from the crowd.

Everyone put away their Alchemy Furnaces and stood up.

Princess Fengxu said, "Within the Secret Realm, slaying demon beasts to obtain Wind Crystals is one of the opportunities."

"Since we came in together, later on when we continue forward, the Wind Crystals obtained from slaying the demon beasts should be divided equally."

"I disagree," Li Hao jumped out.

"Hmm?" Princess Fengxu frowned slightly.

Li Hao glanced derisively at Xiao Yi and said with a cold snicker, "Within the Secret Realm, opportunities rely on one’s own strength; why should we divide them equally?"

"If you lack the skill, don’t hold the rest of us back."

With those words, Li Hao brandished the Wind Crystals in his hand, giving Xiao Yi a disdainful look.

Previously, he had killed almost all the hundred Wind Wolves, so he possessed many Wind Crystals.

But Xiao Yi had only slain a few stray Wind Wolves, holding only a handful of Wind Crystals.

"This..." Princess Fengxu hesitated, looking over the crowd.

Of course, what mattered most was gauging Xiao Yi’s reaction.

Xiao Yi shrugged and said, "I don’t mind."

"Alright then," Princess Fengxu nodded.

At this moment, Li Hao distributed some of his Wind Crystals to the other nine people beside him, generously saying, "My brothers, we have all come together from the Alchemy Competition."

"We are acquainted through this journey and should advance or retreat together."

"Thank you, Young Master Li Hao," the nine each received a few Wind Crystals.

Then, the ten of them took out their Alchemy Furnaces again and started refining the Wind Crystals on the spot.

Princess Fengxu frowned.

Du Youyou pursed her lips in an embarrassed expression.

Xiao Yi handed the Wind Crystals in his hand to Du Youyou.

"Xiao Yi, don’t you want them?" Du Youyou hesitated.

Xiao Yi shook his head.

Only then did Du Youyou eagerly take them and also began to sit cross-legged, refining the Wind Crystals.

...

Second release.
