Invincible Soul Emperor

Using Spirit Pills can quickly enhance my strength. Given my Alchemy Realm, it’s not impossible for me to refine top-grade ones, which would have very few side effects. However, power gained through Spirit Pills ultimately relies on external forces. While there may be no short-term impact, this slight deficiency could halt my progress when I try to break through to a higher Realm later. I understand that with the Dual Pupil Martial Soul as my ultimate weapon, my future achievements will far exceed this. Therefore, unless it’s absolutely necessary, I will never use Spirit Pills to forcibly enhance my strength.

But to avenge my mother, I’m willing to pay any price!

Just as Ye Qingchen stepped out of the secret room, he saw Ma Chunsheng running over in a panic. Panting, he said, ”Boss, Miss Qin has returned. She asked me to fetch you.”

A surge of joy filled Ye Qingchen’s heart. He had thought Qin Yue might be gone for some time, but she was back after only a few days.

”Where is Yue’er? Take me to her.”

Ye Qingchen grabbed Ma Chunsheng and started to head outside, but Ma Chunsheng quickly said, ”Boss, Miss Qin is in her room. You should go by yourself. It isn’t appropriate for me to go.”

Ye Qingchen released Ma Chunsheng’s hand and even used the Mystifying Steps to hurry toward Qin Yue’s room.

Although it’s only been a few days, it feels like an eternity. Hearing that Qin Yue was back, Ye Qingchen couldn’t wait to see her.

Reaching Qin Yue’s room, he pushed the door open without hesitation and walked in.

At that moment, Qin Yue was changing her clothes, preparing to switch to something more comfortable, and didn’t expect Ye Qingchen to suddenly burst in.

Blushing, Qin Yue clutched her clothes to cover herself and chided, ”What are you doing? Hurry and close the door.”

Catching a glimpse of her partly concealed, alluring figure, Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but swallow. He quickly looked away, suppressed his impulses, and stepped back to leave.

However, Qin Yue rolled her eyes at him and said petulantly, ”What, you’re leaving? Am I not pretty enough to look at?”

”Er...” Ye Qingchen froze, unsure whether to leave or stay.

”HEE HEE! I was just teasing you. Stop standing there like a fool and get out!” Qin Yue laughed, easing his embarrassment. He fled the room in relief.

A moment later, after Qin Yue had changed, Ye Qingchen was finally able to enter her room. Seeing her perfect figure and recalling the previous scene, he instinctively pulled her into his embrace.

Qin Yue struggled a few times but, realizing she couldn’t break free, she simply let him hold her, nestling against his chest.

Ye Qingchen played with her hair as he asked, ”Yue’er, why did you suddenly come back?”

Qin Yue pinched his stomach but, worried she might have hurt him, immediately soothed the spot with her hand. ”It’s all your fault,” she said. ”You barged in so suddenly that you made me forget about the important matter.”

After speaking, Qin Yue slowly got up to look for something.

Ye Qingchen gave an awkward smile. ”Sorry, I just missed you so much. The moment I heard you were back, I rushed in without thinking... I didn’t expect you to be changing...”

”That’s enough... All right, let’s get down to business.” Qin Yue quickly covered his mouth, her little face flushed red.

Only then did she take a small box from her storage ring and hand it to him. ”Qingchen, this will be of great use to you.”

Ye Qingchen took the small box, puzzled. As soon as it was in his hand, he felt a sense of connection, as if to his own blood. The box flickered with golden light, and the seal placed upon it was instantly lifted.

Even more confused, he asked, ”Yue’er, what’s inside this?”

Qin Yue smiled. ”Why don’t you open it and see? What, are you afraid I’m going to harm you?”

”That’s not it.” Ye Qingchen scratched his head with a smile and gently opened the small box.

A Black Jade Bi slowly floated out, hovering in front of his eyes.

Ye Qingchen took the Black Jade Bi in his hand, blinking. His brow furrowed. For some reason, the object before him felt familiar.

That’s it! It’s identical to the Wordless Jade Bi I got from Thunder Valley, except for the color!

While Ye Qingchen was lost in thought, the dormant Dual Pupil Martial Soul in his sea of consciousness suddenly became active and excited. The Black Jade Bi in his hand began to quiver slightly, as if trying to break free from his grasp.

Ye Qingchen loosened his grip slightly, and the Dual Pupil Martial Soul directly absorbed the Black Jade Bi into his sea of consciousness, where it began to circle the Martial Soul.

The Wordless Jade Bi, which had entered his sea of consciousness earlier, swiftly moved toward the Black Jade Bi. Upon contact, the white and black Jade Bi stuck tightly to each other and began to merge.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Not only did Qin Yue not see clearly what happened, but even Ye Qingchen himself was completely bewildered.

After a short while, the Wordless Jade Bi and the Black Jade Bi had completely merged, forming a Gray Jade Bi that revolved continuously around the Dual Pupil Martial Soul. The Spiritual Energy and Soul Power within his body spontaneously converged in his sea of consciousness, continuously nourishing the Dual Pupil Martial Soul and the Gray Jade Bi.

At the same time, Ye Qingchen could clearly feel that mysterious substance beginning to emanate from the Gray Jade Bi.

It’s only a trace, but that’s enough to make me ecstatic! This not only proves my theory, but with this mysterious substance, my strength is bound to soar. I don’t have to consider using Spirit Pills anymore!

Looking at Qin Yue’s puzzled face, Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but cradle her cheeks and plant a deep kiss on them. ”Yue’er, where on earth did you get such a treasure? I absolutely adore you!” he said excitedly.

Startled by the kiss at first, Qin Yue’s face soon flushed with shy sweetness. She giggled and said, ”As long as it helps you, their efforts weren’t in vain.”

”They?”

”Never mind that. Now that you’ve absorbed the Jade Bi, you should start cultivating as soon as possible. There are only a little over two months left until the duel to the death. You need to prepare well.” Qin Yue deliberately changed the subject, urging him to hurry and cultivate.

Not suspecting anything, Ye Qingchen nodded. ”Then I’ll enter closed-door cultivation for two months and strive for a breakthrough!”

As he finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave, but Qin Yue held him back.

Ye Qingchen looked at her, confused. Qin Yue smiled and said, ”About this duel to the death you’ve arranged... should we send someone to inform Xiao Xiao? If she finds out you didn’t tell her about something this major, she’ll be angry again.”
