Chapter 42: Perfected Sky-Piercing Intent, Seeking the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well
After experiencing the Fallen incident, Yun Yuan's journey to temper his killing intent no longer encountered any accidents.
On the very first day that Yun Yuan participated in life-and-death soul fights, after slaughtering all the soul masters in the entire soul arena who challenged him, in the following days, even when Yun Yuan raised the wager with more gold soul coins, very few soul masters dared to challenge him.
Within the next one or two days, only a few challengers dared to face him, and without exception, all of them were high-level Soul Ancestors.
But in front of Yun Yuan, they could only become souls lost beneath his spear, becoming nourishment for his comprehension of killing intent.
Later on, Yun Yuan directly chose to challenge an entire team, using life-and-death soul fights to take on a Soul Ancestor team.
Drawn by fame and profit, several powerful Soul Ancestor teams directly challenged Yun Yuan, yet without exception, all were slain beneath the Atlas Spear.
After so many rounds of slaughter, the Atlas Spear gradually nurtured killing intent, and with Yun Yuan's talent, he also gained a certain level of comprehension regarding killing intent.
Silves City, inside a hotel room.
"After ten days of slaughter, I've finally fused killing intent into my Sky-Piercing Intent."
"From now on, my Sky-Piercing Intent is flawless!"
Yun Yuan's joyful voice slowly sounded.
During these ten days, relying on his talent in the spear dao, Yun Yuan directly comprehended killing intent from slaughter and then successfully integrated it into his own Sky-Piercing Intent.
"Senior Sister, we should return to Spirit City. Pack your things."
With his Sky-Piercing Intent now perfected, Yun Yuan no longer wished to stay in this city and instead chose to return to Spirit City.
His temperament was different from Bibi Dong's. His interest lay more in improving cultivation and strength, while he had little interest in the bustling worldly pleasures.
"Ah, so soon? I originally wanted to stay for another half month. Junior Brother, how did you comprehend the intent so quickly?"
There was a trace of regret in Bibi Dong's voice. For someone like her who loved to have fun, returning early to Spirit City was clearly not something to be happy about.
"Senior Sister, with your Junior Brother's talent, comprehending intent is naturally very fast. Moreover, my martial soul, the Atlas Spear, has also been tempered to produce killing intent."
"In the future, if I want the killing intent of the Atlas Spear to grow stronger, I'll need to kill more and stronger soul masters."
Yun Yuan answered truthfully. His purpose for coming this time had two goals. One was to integrate killing intent into his Sky-Piercing Intent, and the other was to nurture killing intent within the Atlas Spear.
"Alright then, Junior Brother, let's go back."
Since Silves City bordered Spirit City, Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong only spent half a day before returning to Spirit City.
At first, Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong headed to the Pope's Palace to visit their teacher.
Inside the Pope's Palace.
"Xiao Yuan, your speed is really fast. I originally thought it would take you at least a month."
Seeing Yun Yuan appear before him again, Qian Xunji sighed in amazement, feeling slightly astonished.
As Yun Yuan's teacher, he naturally knew what Yun Yuan had gone to do this time: nurture killing intent and perfect his Sky-Piercing Intent.
Nurturing killing intent was simple. One only needed endless slaughter. One day, a terrifying killing intent that suffocates others would naturally emerge.
But what was difficult was perfecting Sky-Piercing Intent. This kind of fusion and comprehension of intent was completed by Yun Yuan in just ten days. One could imagine his talent in the spear dao.
And he did not know if it was just his illusion, but he felt that Yun Yuan's comprehension ability was becoming stronger and stronger. A year ago, it still had boundaries, but now, it was almost unimaginable.
"Hehe, Teacher, that's just because I'm too talented."
"Oh right, teacher, I want you to send people to a place called Sunset Forest to find a treasure land."
"This treasure land is called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. It contains many immortal herbs that can improve a soul master's talent and soul power rank. Every single immortal herb is a peerless treasure."
Yun Yuan spoke his suggestion to Qian Xunji.
At this time, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well should be ownerless. Dugu Bo likely had not yet discovered this treasure land.
Therefore, if he wanted to find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, relying on finding Dugu Bo would not work. He could only rely on the power of Spirit Hall.
Fortunately, the general location was certain. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was located in Sunset Forest. Otherwise, finding this land of ice and fire coexistence would truly be quite difficult.
"Immortal herbs? Improve talent?!"
Hearing this, Qian Xunji's eyes flashed with brilliance, but finding the treasure land Yun Yuan spoke of would be extremely difficult.
Just as Qian Xunji was troubled over how to locate the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Yun Yuan had already handed him the solution.
"Teacher, as far as I know, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is roughly located within Sunset Forest, and it has many distinct characteristics…"
Yun Yuan explained the features of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well one by one to Qian Xunji, greatly reducing the difficulty of searching.
After Yun Yuan finished speaking, Qian Xunji, before him, was already full of excitement. With such a detailed description, Spirit Hall was absolutely confident in finding it.
At the thought of Spirit Hall having the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as part of its foundation in the future, Qian Xunji's body trembled uncontrollably with excitement.
It seemed that during his tenure, his contributions to Spirit Hall were enormous. If he could further nurture Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong into talents in the future,
Then, in terms of Spirit Hall's development, he would already far surpass his father, Qian Daoliu.
Thinking of this, Qian Xunji looked at Yun Yuan, unable to conceal the excitement in his eyes. He patted his chest and assured Yun Yuan.
"Xiao Yuan, rest assured. Since you've already provided such a detailed location, our Spirit Hall will definitely be able to find it."
"Next, just wait for your teacher's good news."
Yun Yuan naturally believed Qian Xunji's assurance, but at this moment, he still had one more matter to tell him.
"Teacher, actually, there's one more thing."
As Yun Yuan spoke, Qian Xunji's eyes grew even brighter, staring intently at him with anticipation.
Could it be that his most outstanding disciple still had another surprise to offer? If so, he would be extremely satisfied.
"I want the teacher to help me collect all knowledge on alchemy across the continent. After you find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, I want to use the method of refining pills with immortal herbs to condense the essence of several immortal herbs into a single pill."
"In this way, we can maximize the utilization of the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Moreover, after refining the immortal herbs into pills, even for soul masters like you, Teacher, who are older and have strong cultivation, the effects will still be significant."
"One day, Teacher, you might even be able to become someone like Grandmaster, achieving the level of an Ultimate Douluo and standing at the peak of soul masters."
As his words fell, Qian Xunji could no longer suppress the agitation in his heart. He breathed slightly heavily, his eyes filled with fervor.
Becoming an Ultimate Douluo had always been his lifelong wish, yet due to insufficient talent, it was very difficult to reach that realm.
Even regarding the immortal herbs Yun Yuan had just mentioned, although Qian Xunji cared about them, he did not believe they would have much effect on himself. After all, he was older and powerful. The effect of a single herb was limited.
