Chapter 756 Xuan Yi's Fantasy Moment

The battle between the two celestial maidens in the mountain stream has not yet ceased.

The soul force surged and raged like a raging sea. Cao Ying narrowed her phoenix eyes, her fingertips drawing an eerie arc in the air. Her long black hair danced wildly with the force, and wisps of purple mist suddenly rose around her. Countless tiny soul light points in the mist condensed and took shape, transforming into soul blades that glowed with a ghostly light. The blades were covered with a cold, poisonous light, and they shot towards Dan Chen like a swarm of bees leaving their hive.

"Swoosh..." The sharp sound of the soul blade cutting through the air was ear-piercing, and wherever it passed, even the surrounding energy of heaven and earth was torn apart with fine cracks.

Dan Chen remained calm, her jade fingers joined together and gently waved. The pale golden soul power around her suddenly surged, transforming into a warm yet resilient shield. Intricate patterns appeared on the shield's surface, as clear as glass.

The moment the Soul Blade struck the Soul Shield, a series of crisp sounds erupted, sparks flew, and purple mist and golden light intertwined and collided, creating ripples of energy across the sky.

Seeing this, Cao Ying's lips curled into a bewitching smile. She flipped her wrist, and her soul power surged once again. She directly drew the miasma that permeated the mountain stream and merged it with her own soul power, transforming it into a thick, purple-scaled venomous python. The python's body was covered with dark purple patterns, and its mouth was wide open, spewing out foul-smelling poisonous mist. With a world-destroying power, it pounced on Dan Chen.

Dan Chen's eyes lit up. Instead of retreating, she advanced, her soul power transforming into countless golden feathers, each tip gleaming with a sharp edge. She stretched out her arms, and the golden feathers poured out like a meteor shower, colliding violently with the purple-scaled venomous python.

The golden feather pierced through the venomous python's body with a muffled "plop" sound. The purple mist dissipated continuously, but was forcibly condensed by Cao Ying's soul power. Although the venomous python's body was damaged, its attack became even more ferocious.

The two exchanged blows, their spiritual energies clashing more and more intensely.

Cao Ying's attacks were unpredictable and ruthless, each move carrying a deadly trick. Her soul power would sometimes condense into a blade, and sometimes transform into poisonous mist, changing unpredictably. Dan Chen's defense, on the other hand, was as steady as Mount Tai. Her soul power circulated smoothly and effortlessly, sometimes forming a shield to defend against the enemy, and sometimes transforming into feathers to counterattack. Her moves exuded a righteous and peaceful demeanor, yet concealed a tenacious spirit.

The energy of heaven and earth was frantically stirred by the soul power of the two, and a fierce wind arose in the mountain stream, with rocks flying everywhere. The originally damp layer of decaying leaves was swept up by the energy storm and turned into countless fragments.

Two figures weaved and fought amidst the turbulent energy currents, their black and white robes fluttering and swirling like two ultimate beams of light, colliding to create dazzling yet dangerous sparks.

This intense exchange lasted for nearly half an hour. The fluctuations of their soul power gradually weakened, and their breathing became somewhat rapid.

Fine beads of sweat trickled down Cao Ying's temples. Her phoenix eyes still held a captivating allure, but now showed signs of weariness. Dan Chen's cheeks flushed, her breathing was slightly rapid, and her white robes were stained with dust, yet she still maintained an upright posture.

After another collision of energies, the two of them were simultaneously thrown back several feet, facing each other from a distance. They looked at each other and saw exhaustion and recognition in each other's eyes.

This intense clash of soul power had already exhausted most of their mental energy; continuing the fight would only result in mutual destruction, with no clear victor in the end.

Cao Ying was the first to withdraw her spiritual power, and the purple mist gradually dissipated. Dan Chen also removed the golden feathers from her body, and the energy of heaven and earth gradually calmed down.

Only the slightly rapid breathing of the two people and the messy battlefield remained in the mountain stream, indicating the ferocity of the fierce battle that had just taken place.

Cao Ying's delicate body hovered in the air, her clothes fluttering in the mountain breeze, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall, her phoenix eyes half-closed as she looked at Dan Chen opposite her, a bewitching smile playing on her lips.

She raised her hand to cover her lips, chuckled softly, her voice charming and melodious, with a touch of languid admiration: "Let's end today's competition here."

"Dan Chen's progress has truly exceeded my expectations." She lightly tapped the air with her fingertips, her tone filled with undisguised surprise.
"In our previous encounters, I was able to gain a slight advantage thanks to my accumulated experience, but now I can't even get a taste of victory. At this rate of improvement, I'm afraid it won't be long before you leave me far behind."

After saying that, she slightly raised the corners of her eyes, and her charming demeanor was revealed in her eyes as she looked around, but there was not a trace of jealousy, but rather a hint of admiration.

Dan Chen landed, her white robe brushing away the dust from her skirt. She nodded slightly upon hearing this, her tone gentle yet firm: "Sister Cao Ying, you're too kind. I've only recently gained some rudimentary insights into the use of soul power, and I've made some progress by chance. It's nothing."

She looked up at Cao Ying, her clear eyes full of sincerity: "Sister Cao Ying, you have always been exceptionally talented in cultivating soul power, and you are also free and unrestrained in your actions. Your control over soul power is already superb. This time, I just happened to get a glimpse of the way because of my special physique. Given time, Sister Cao Ying will definitely be able to break through the current constraints, and your path of improvement will only be smoother than mine."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ying chuckled softly, her voice as clear as a silver bell: "You little rascal, you know how to talk. But you're right, we should have more of these interesting contests in the future."

The remaining soul power around her slowly receded, her bewitching aura faded somewhat, and she became more casual.

Dan Chen smiled faintly and nodded gently: "Of course I'm willing to accompany you. Sparring with Sister Cao Ying always makes me realize my own shortcomings and I learn a lot."

The two faced each other from a distance. Although they had just gone through a fierce battle, there was no hostility between them. Instead, their words revealed a unique tacit understanding.

The lingering energy in the mountain stream gradually dissipated, and the morning light filtered through the branches and leaves, illuminating the two figures, one in black and one in white, one alluring and one elegant, creating a unique picture.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen, one flamboyant and alluring, the other gentle and refined, have completely different styles, yet both are stunning beauties.

On the Central Continent, countless young talents yearn for and deeply admire their beauty and talent, willing to go to great lengths to win even a glance from them.

But everyone knows that these two enchanting beauties already have someone they love, and they both care about the same person.

No matter how deep the love or infatuation of others may be, they can never get any closer and can only watch from afar, leaving them with nothing but regret.

As for competing with that person, none of the young talents in Zhongzhou who admired Cao Ying and Dan Chen had even the slightest thought of it.

Such competition was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, utterly overestimating one's own abilities. After all, Xiao Ling's talent far surpassed that of these two prodigies. His own cultivation was already unfathomable, and his alchemy skills were divine. He had long since transcended the limitations of the younger generation and joined the ranks of the continent's elite. Looking across the entire Dou Qi Continent, it would be difficult to find many who could rival him.

Only someone of such extraordinary talent and brilliance could be worthy of the devoted affections of two stunning women, and could they willingly entrust their hearts to him, making him the shared destiny they both cherished.

The two women chatted for a few more minutes, then flew side by side toward the cliff beside the mountain stream. Their clothes fluttered as they flew through the air like two light fireflies.

Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi were already waiting at the edge of the cliff. When they saw the two of them arrive, a big smile instantly bloomed on Xuan Kongzi's wrinkled old face. His eyes fell on the two women, full of undisguised satisfaction.

He raised his hand to stroke his silver beard and burst into laughter.
"Hehe, you two girls, your control over soul power is becoming more and more masterful!"

"Compared to our last encounter, this time the improvement is more than just a step up; it's a complete transformation."

His gaze swept over the two of them, his tone full of approval.
"In my opinion, even an ordinary five or six-star Dou Zun would not gain the slightest advantage against your exquisite soul force combat techniques. As long as you maintain your distance and do not allow them to attack your weak points at close range, you will be able to steadily gain the upper hand."

"Indeed, today's scene has truly broadened my horizons." Standing to the side in black, though deliberately maintaining a calm demeanor, his tone betrayed barely concealed excitement, his gaze fixed on the two women with astonishment.

“Xuan Kongzi, you old fellow, you’ve kept this a secret well hidden, actually protecting such an incredible secret for them.”

"This method of manipulating soul power is truly profound." She paused slightly, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the edge of her sleeve, her tone becoming increasingly solemn.
"To possess such formidable combat power solely through soul force was something I could never have imagined before. This is not merely an ordinary improvement in technique, but a groundbreaking innovation that could rewrite the survival landscape of alchemists. It allows the cultivation of soul force to transcend the limitations of alchemy and gives alchemists the confidence to dominate the battlefield."

"For the Pill Tower, this is even more significant." Xuan Yi raised his eyes to look at Xuan Kongzi, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"With this method, the foundation of the Pill Tower will only become more and more solid in the future, and it may even lead a new trend in cultivation across the entire continent. Its value is immeasurable."

In fact, as early as when the two women were fighting, Xuan Yi had already been unable to suppress her curiosity and had asked Xuan Kongzi about the inside story of this soul power combat method.

Although Xuan Kongzi did not reveal everything, only some partial information, it was enough to give her a huge shock.

The core of this technique lies in pushing the cultivator's own soul power from the auxiliary level to the main combat dimension. As long as it is properly controlled, the soul power can break free from the dependence of battle qi and unleash a powerful combat force that is no less than that of the same level of battle qi cultivation.

What's even more astonishing is that the application of this soul power is not limited to combat; in many special scenarios, it has unique effects that are difficult for battle qi to match.

These unique values, which are difficult to achieve through Qi cultivation, are precisely the most amazing charm of this technique, and the key reason why even a seasoned expert like Xuan Yi couldn't help but be moved.

Faced with the high praise from the two seniors, Cao Ying and Dan Chen exchanged a glance, a faint smile flashing in their eyes, and calmly nodded in agreement.

They didn't say much, but they weren't feigning modesty either. They were already full of recognition and satisfaction with their transformation.

Who could have imagined that the two people who had to rely on special methods to barely resist the eighth-grade pill lightning at the Pill Gathering in the past would have undergone such an amazing transformation in such a short period of time?

Now, the combat power they can unleash with just their soul power has already reached a level that even Dou Zun powerhouses cannot underestimate. This growth is enough for them to accept all praise with equanimity.

However, the two women remained clear-headed. This transformative change did not come out of thin air. It was Xiao Ling, the man who haunted their dreams day and night, who guided them with his exquisite teachings, provided them with meticulous guidance, and bestowed upon them the precious legacy of a talisman master. This enabled them to make rapid progress in their talisman master cultivation and achieve their current accomplishments.

Thinking of Xiao Ling, both women felt a faint longing in their hearts, and their eyes softened.

However, with the two seniors, Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi, present, they did not show the slightest sign of losing their composure. They maintained their calm and gentle demeanor, but the deep concern in their eyes flowed quietly like a gentle stream, difficult to conceal.

After praising the two women's skillful use of their soul power, Xuan Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he fixed his gaze intently on them, his tone filled with barely suppressed urgency and seriousness.
“I have already discussed this with Xuan Kongzi, the old fellow, after watching your fight just now. The methods of you so-called talisman masters are all due to the great opportunities you have encountered. According to the rules of the Pill Tower, you should handle them yourselves. We will not interfere forcibly.”

She paused, her fingertips tightening slightly with the surge of emotion, and her voice suddenly rose a few decibels: "But you may not fully understand just how earth-shattering the significance of this talisman master inheritance truly is! It is by no means an ordinary technique. If it can spread throughout the Pill Tower and even the entire continent, the cultivation landscape of the entire Dou Qi Continent will be completely rewritten!"

"Especially for us in the Dan Tower, this is an invaluable blessing, a godsend in our time of need!" Xuan Yi became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes seeming to blaze with two flames.

"The core of the Pill Tower consists of alchemists. Before we dedicate our lives to studying alchemy and cultivating our soul power, we are always hampered by our weak combat strength. We may have powerful souls, but we are unable to defeat strong enemies. However, the methods of talisman masters can transform soul power into invincible combat power, perfectly making up for this deficiency!"

She spoke faster, her tone filled with anticipation for the future.
"Imagine, once all the alchemists in the Pill Tower have mastered this talisman master technique, everyone will be able to condense talismans with their soul power to defend against enemies. They will be able to refine pills and make medicine, and also dominate the battlefield. At that time, the Pill Tower will not only be able to completely break free from the shackles of 'weak combat power,' but will also be able to stand firmly at the top of the continent! Its already lofty status will surely rise to a new level, creating a magnificent scene that countless people admire!"

At this point, Xuan Yi's breathing became slightly rapid, her eyes fixed on the two women, full of anticipation and eagerness, as if she had already witnessed the magnificent scene of the soul power of the powerful people of the Pill Tower surging and shaking the four directions, and among the group at the head of them was her own graceful figure.

Seeing that Xuan Yi, who was usually calm and reserved and ranked among the three giants of the Pill Tower, was now so excited that his eyes were shining and his voice was trembling, Cao Ying and Dan Chen couldn't help but exchange a glance, and a hint of helpless sweat flashed across their eyes.

But their surprise quickly turned into understanding. As people who had personally experienced the inheritance of the talisman master, how could they not know the mystery of this technique?
Alchemists spend their entire lives honing their soul power, yet they are always constrained by a lack of combat strength. This method of talisman mastery is like the light of dawn, transforming idle soul power in battle into an invincible blade. They have long been deeply aware of this indescribable benefit.

Having personally experienced this transformative change, one can better understand Xuan Yi's fervor and excitement at this moment. (End of Chapter)
