Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Soul Siphoning Technique_1

At the center of the Water-Drawing Array of Imperial Dragon, there must be a Spiritual Spring. In Lu Chennong’s villa, indeed there exists a spring which maintains a constant temperature throughout the seasons. Although it doesn’t cure all diseases, it can still enhance one’s health and prolong life. And at the heart of the array on Yulong Mountain, there should be an even more powerful Spiritual Spring.

Xu Fan looked around the temple and found that the center of this array, covering a hundred miles, was located at the center of the temple, atop a platform constructed from green stone bricks.

Xu Fan could sense with his Divine Sense that beneath this stone platform, there was a continuous flow of water-attribute Spiritual Energy.

Xu Fan finished surveying the trend of Yulong Mountain and deftly leaped down from the temple.

The purpose of this visit to Yulong Mountain was to find a place rich in Spiritual Energy, where he could turn a large batch of top-grade medicinal materials purchased from Zhi Shen Tang into Elixirs.

The Elixir Xu Fan wanted to brew this time was called the Pei Yuan Pill. After consumption, it could immensely enhance a person’s physique, similar to the Strengthening Pills he brewed for the War Wolf Squad, but its effects were countless times stronger than the Strengthening Pill, and it had no side effects like farting or belching.

However, the Pei Yuan Pill wasn’t easy to brew, and Xu Fan’s own Spiritual Energy could no longer sustain the production of such a high-grade Elixir. Therefore, after returning from Zhi Shen Tang, Xu Fan had started to search on his phone for maps of the mountains and rivers near Zhonghai City, hoping to find a treasure spot rich in Spiritual Energy nearby.

After searching for a long time without success, Xu Fan saw the news about the missing middle school students in Zhonghai City. Without expecting to find it after so much effort, he happened upon it effortlessly. Upon seeing the map of Yulong Mountain, Xu Fan immediately deduced that the trend of the mountain village was indeed a Spirit Vein that could gather Spiritual Energy, and within this vein, there must be a place rich in Spiritual Energy to support Xu Fan’s Elixir brewing.

And now, Yulong Temple was just such a place.

Xu Fan opened his backpack and took out the items inside—a portable gas stove and a Small Medicine Cauldron made of bronze.

Although Xu Fan was now able to release Dan Fire for brewing Elixirs, his current strength was still very low. He couldn’t rely solely on True Fire for brewing and could only use it during the crucial phase of Elixir formation. For the time being, he had to faithfully use the flames from the natural world.

After Xu Fan placed the Small Medicine Cauldron on the stove, he turned on the gas and began to heat it.

The cauldron was made of very thick material, and it wasn’t going to heat up in just a moment. While waiting, Xu Fan quickly unpacked a large bag of medicinal materials he had brought and began to select the ones he would need.

Holding a hundred-year-old ginseng in his hand, Xu Fan swiftly crushed it into powder and then, with a technique reminiscent of a seasoned chef, he sprinkled the powder into the Small Medicine Cauldron.

Then came the hundred-year-old Lingzhi, hundred-year Polygonatum, and hundred-year Double-Headed Cordyceps…

After adding more than twenty precious medicinal ingredients, the Small Medicine Cauldron was almost filled to the brim, and that’s when Xu Fan ceased adding more herbs. By then, the big bag of herbs from Zhi Shen Tang, worth a million, had all been put into the cauldron.

Xu Fan turned the gas stove’s flame to its highest setting, then walked over to the platform near the heart of the array he had discovered on the roof earlier.

With a gentle sweep of his hand, the originally hard bricks atop the platform were all sent flying by a single palm strike from Xu Fan.

The originally high platform was actually a wellhead sealed by bricks. Beneath the platform, there was a dark wellhead, gleaming with glimmering hints of water.

Xu Fan stretched out his palm and employed the Siphoning Force, pulling a stream of water from the well along with his attraction and slowly flowing it into his hand.

Holding the condensed ball of water in his palm, Xu Fan walked over to the Small Medicine Cauldron and tossed the water sphere into it.

The water from the well contained an abundance of water-attribute Spiritual Energy; with this water, Xu Fan’s Pei Yuan Pill was now half successful.

The spiritual water extracted from the well continuously merged with the powdered medicine in the Small Medicine Cauldron, and wafts of medicinal fragrance began to drift out.

After waiting beside the Small Medicine Cauldron for a moment, seeing that the powdered medicine and spiritual water had completely merged, Xu Fan sat cross-legged next to it. Extending his hand, he placed it on the cauldron, and from his palm, blue Dan Fire slowly emerged, heating the bronze Medicine Cauldron to a mysterious purplish color, like that of a Zisha teapot.

Under the influence of Xu Fan’s Dan Fire, the medicine liquid in the Small Medicine Cauldron began to boil, condense, and the scent of the medicine in the air increasingly intensified.

The Pei Yuan Pill isn’t an ordinary elixir; it requires not only a large amount of precious medicinal herbs and spiritual water but also a significant consumption of Spiritual Energy.

Although Xu Fan was the Five Directions Great Emperor in his previous life, with the methods to transform Spiritual Energy into Dan Fire, he was currently just a beginner at Qi Cultivation Stage with a low volume of True Qi. Refining a Pei Yuan Pill, which requires a large amount of True Qi to stoke the Dan Fire, was subtly becoming a struggle due to insufficient Spiritual Energy.

Seeing that the medicine liquid in the Small Medicine Cauldron had condensed by half, Xu Fan knew abandoning the process now would mean all efforts were wasted, so he frantically drew upon his body’s Spiritual Energy, stimulating the Dan Fire in his palm.

The amount of medicine liquid decreased further, vaguely beginning to form into the shape of an elixir, but at this moment, Xu Fan’s Spiritual Energy was also on the verge of running out.

If there was no further support from Dan Fire, this batch of Pei Yuan Pills would fail, and all the effort Xu Fan had put in would be in vain.

Without pause for thought, Xu Fan used a method to absorb Spiritual Energy he would frequently employ in his previous life, extending his palm toward the focal point of Yulong Mountain range or the well in the temple, and quickly began to siphon the Spiritual Energy within.

This method of absorbing Spiritual Energy was only possible when one’s Spiritual Energy was nearly depleted and carried certain side effects, creating quite a disturbance. It would cause chaos in the Spiritual Energy within hundreds of kilometers, and if there were any cultivators nearby, they could almost instantly detect someone cultivating here.

Therefore, Xu Fan would not generally use this method to absorb Spiritual Energy while cultivating. However, the Dan refining process had reached a critical moment, and without Spiritual Energy to continue stoking the Dan Fire, the entire batch of elixir would be ruined. Hence, Xu Fan had no choice but to take the risk of exposing himself and use the Spiritual Energy from the Spiritual Spring to replenish his own.

After Xu Fan extended his palm, streaks of water-blue light rapidly emerged from the ancient well, as though drawn by gravity, and swiftly rushed into his body.

Xu Fan’s nearly depleted Spiritual Energy, replenished by that from the well, was restored to abundance; he began to invigorate the Dan Fire between his hands and fiercely unleashed it towards the Small Medicine Cauldron.

Meanwhile, the Spiritual Energy of the world turned chaotic after Xu Fan unleashed the Soul Siphoning Technique, causing the small birds and wild animals in the mountains to sense the threat, leading to a frenzy throughout Yulong Mountain.
