Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1114: Chapter 174: Ye Lingyue’s Primordial Spirit

Clearing the Heavenly Sword Hemp is quite a task that consumes a lot of spiritual power and the power of heaven and earth. After returning to her residence, Ye Lingyue meditated for a while.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already the third watch.

Ye Lingyue examined the spiritual power within her body and happily discovered that her spiritual power had increased significantly. Moreover, from the degree of increase, it was somewhat more than what she experienced when refining elixir pills and spiritual artifacts.

”I didn’t expect that learning spiritual patterns could also help increase spiritual power. Ever since I advanced to the Fang Venerate level, I’ve been thinking that my spiritual power hasn’t grown much. This time, I unexpectedly found a good method.” Ye Lingyue murmured to herself.

Her path as an alchemist had always been smooth due to the presence of Qian Cauldron.

But ever since she broke through to the Fang Venerate level, she felt as though there was no progress.

Whether refining elixir pills or artifacts, it felt as if she was just treading in place, and Ye Lingyue had tried many methods.

However, as there were indeed no outstanding individuals in the path of alchemist cultivation on the mainland of Qing Province, she could only rely on herself to explore. Fortunately, after arriving in the Ancient Nine Provinces, there was a breakthrough, but Ye Lingyue only knew that alchemist cultivation was divided into First Rank to Nine Rank, and she wasn’t aware of what the differences were after reaching Fang Venerate.

Just as Ye Lingyue was pondering, the Cauldron Spirit suddenly spoke.

”Master, actually the best method for cultivating spiritual power is to cultivate your primordial spirit.”

Ye Lingyue had advanced one month’s salary, and today, the Cauldron Spirit was rare to have a full meal, so it spoke with great vitality.

”Your words indeed reminded me. Speaking of which, the Divine Silkworm Technique that came from Lonely Moon Sea a while ago, I still haven’t had the chance to practice it.”

Although it was already the third watch, Ye Lingyue felt quite spirited due to her meditation.

The events encountered at Huangquan City had heightened Ye Lingyue’s sense of crisis, making her constantly think about cultivation.

She decided to start cultivating the Divine Silkworm Technique.

That day, in the Heavenly Cave, the Divine Silkworm Technique had been completely memorized by Ye Lingyue.

She only needed a moment’s thought for the incantation of the Divine Silkworm Technique to appear in her mind.

Though the incantation had only over a hundred words, Ye Lingyue felt as if each word held mysteries within.

Memorizing is one thing; contemplating is another.

Ye Lingyue’s contemplation extended for another four hours, transitioning from the third watch to dawn.

At that moment, in the darkest period of the day.

Submerged in the cultivation of the Divine Silkworm Technique, a radiant golden light suddenly appeared on Ye Lingyue’s body.

That golden light was like the shining morning sun.

Gradually, a shadow separated from Ye Lingyue’s body.

That shadow had just formed, and hence was still somewhat blurry.

Until after a quarter of an hour, did the shadow gradually stabilize, and its facial features became clear—it was precisely Ye Lingyue’s primordial spirit.

”Wow, it’s exactly the same.”

Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue stared in astonishment at her own physical form sitting on the bed.

”Master, congratulations on refining your first primordial spirit, this state is called Primordial Spirit Emergence. But master, your primordial spirit has just formed not long ago, and is still fragile; it’s only suitable for nocturnal activities and cannot attack or defend like ordinary people. It’s not advisable to go out during the day either. Once your primordial spirit strengthens more, reaching half the strength of your physical form, then you can move freely day and night.”

Witnessing Ye Lingyue’s successful emergence of her primordial spirit.

The Cauldron Spirit couldn’t bear loneliness either and directly manifested, hopping around Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue like a flea.

Ye Lingyue succeeded on her first emergence, naturally eager to try.

She looked at the sky; it was still dawn, and there was still time before daybreak.

Why not go for a night tour, not too far, just around the City Lord’s Mansion to experience how the Primordial Spirit Emergence feels.

Ye Lingyue figured there wouldn’t be any danger within the City Lord’s Mansion, and brought the Qian Cauldron straight out from her residence.

Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue wandered around the City Lord’s Mansion. Unlike her physical form, Primordial Spirit, because it was entirely condensed from spiritual power, even though its true capability was inferior to Ye Lingyue’s physical form, its five senses and six consciousness were not lacking, and even stronger.

Add to that, she could freely penetrate walls and obstacles. Soon, Ye Lingyue had roamed everywhere she could, except the bedrooms of the City Lord and Xiao Chun.

After touring the City Lord’s Mansion, Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue unknowingly arrived at the garden where the Heavenly Sword Hemp was planted.

”I wonder how Heavenly Sword Hemp inscribed with spiritual patterns will react to a primordial spirit?”

Ye Lingyue, momentarily playful, moved towards the garden.

Every night, Si Xiaochun would patrol the City Lord’s Mansion and lock up. Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue didn’t shy away from these and directly penetrated the courtyard gate.

The garden at dawn, due to a lot of Heavenly Sword Hemp being cleared, appeared spacious and tranquil.

Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue passed through a patch of Heavenly Sword Hemp with ease, even the spiritual pattern capable of cutting through Meteorite Iron remained motionless.

Evidently, the spiritual patterns have no effect on the primordial spirit either.

As the sky gradually brightened, the Cauldron Spirit reminded Ye Lingyue that it was time to return.

”That’s good. Early today, I still need to discuss with Xiao Chun how to handle the remaining Heavenly Sword Hemp.”

Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue had played enough and was ready to return.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a tremor beneath her feet, a roaring sound like an angry wild beast emanated from a corner.

”This feeling? Cauldron Spirit, did you sense it?”

Ye Lingyue had heard a similar sound at dusk, but she thought it was just her imagination.

”Heard it, it sounds like something is colliding.”

The Cauldron Spirit also noticed it.

”Could it be there’s an assassin? The sound seems to come from that direction.”

Ye Lingyue muttered, wondering which reckless assassin dared to return to the City Lord’s Mansion.

This place had neither money nor people.

Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue, along with the Cauldron Spirit, searched for the sound’s source.

”Artificial hill?”

Ye Lingyue and the Cauldron Spirit looked at the peculiar half-acre sized artificial hill ahead.

Ye Lingyue learned from Si Xiaochun when she took over this garden, that the old City Lord was a refined person and had ordered the construction of these artificial hills in the courtyard back in the day, claiming it aided in his meditative cultivation.

Ye Lingyue and the Cauldron Spirit searched around the artificial hill, but still found nothing.

Not a soul or beast, not even a specter was seen.

”Strange, where exactly did the sound come from?” Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue wondered as a mountain stone fell.

It fell onto the mountain wall, making a muffled sound.

”!”

Primordial Spirit Ye Lingyue immediately became alert.

She touched the mountain earlier, and judging by the sound of the stone falling, this artificial hill seemed problematic.

If her guess was correct, the interior of the artificial hill should be hollow!
