LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 522 Warning
In the silent room, Wang Chen sat crossed-legged on the floor.
A pale golden crystal orb floated above his cross-legged position, perfectly aligned with his Dantian.
It spun silently, continuously emanating Pure Yang Qi that was undetectable to the naked eye, which Wang Chen then absorbed into his Qi Sea Dantian.
The Pure Yang Qi entering his body was propelled by his mana, ascending through his organs, infusing into his limbs and bones, partly merging with his physique, and partly flowing back to his Dantian.
Crack!
Suddenly, a hairline crack appeared on the surface of the crystal orb.
Immediately, more cracks began to form, quickly covering the entire orb, its luster consequently dimming and fading away.
Until it turned into a cloud of dust that gently fell to the ground.
Wang Chen abruptly opened his eyes, a glint of golden light flashing through his pitch-black pupils.
He took a long breath out.
As if exhaling a hot flame, albeit invisible and intangible, it caused the temperature in the quiet room to surge suddenly!
[Innate Five Elements Skill·Experience +1]
Impressive!
Wang Chen collected his breath and composed his mind, then took out another new crystal orb from his Sumeru Ring.
This was the First Turn Pure Yang Bead he had refined from the Utmost Yin Bead, just having completed an experiment in the practice of his cultivation techniques.
The result was unexpectedly good!
Not only could the Pure Yang Bead temper his physique, but it was also an excellent source material for cultivating the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method.
Merely the one First Turn Pure Yang Bead, without even being fully consumed, had increased the experience level of Wang Chen's long-stagnant Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method by 12 points.
After testing, it also had a positive effect on the Innate Five Elements Skill!
Of course, using the Pure Yang Bead to cultivate the Innate Five Elements Skill would be an extravagant waste, truly not worth it.
But if Wang Chen were to master new Pure Yang Techniques in the future, then the role of the Pure Yang Bead would be extraordinarily effective.
Wang Chen's current worry was, if he became accustomed to using Pure Yang Beads for cultivation, where would he find so many Utmost Yin Beads later?
It's hard to transition from luxury to frugality!
He laughed at himself wryly and put away the Pure Yang Bead.
According to the little Ding, aside from aiding in cultivation, this object could also be used to refine high-tier Magic Artifacts.
Save where you can, you can't squander it all in one go.
But Wang Chen's desire to harvest had grown even stronger!
In the days that followed, when the Yin wind tides stopped, Wang Chen frequently made forays, using his self-made Blood Crystals to lure White Ghosts.
After several attempts, no more Evil Spirits could be attracted in the area near the Defense Area.
So, he expanded his hunting grounds to the surrounding areas.
Other Purple Mansion Cultivators would shut their doors tightly and hold their Defense Areas during the outbreak of Yin wind tides, not daring to stray even a step.
However, after understanding the patterns of the rising and falling tides, Wang Chen's activity area had extended to the marshes and mountain regions.
The Evil Spirits attracted by the Blood Crystals were not only White Ghosts but also a few odd and strange creatures, some quite bizarre and tricky, adept at stealth and sneak attacks.
Yet, under Wang Chen's all-encompassing detection mode, all the Evil Spirits had nowhere to hide.
These peculiar and bizarre Evil Spirits also could not escape from the suppression of the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net!
The number of Yin Qi Pearls Wang Chen harvested kept increasing, and most of them were the Utmost Yin Beads dropped by White Ghosts.
Ordinary Yin Qi Pearls were collected to exchange for merits, while the Utmost Yin Beads went straight into the Creation Cauldron to be refined into First Turn Pure Yang Beads.
For Wang Chen's Sect mates involved in pioneering, the Yin wind tides were the greatest crisis they encountered.
Yet to Wang Chen, they had turned into an opportunity!
Just as Wang Chen perfected his lure and hunt tactics, an unexpected situation suddenly arose.
On a day when the Yin wind tides had receded, he had just spread Blood Crystals around a mountain location, ready to lure a wave of Evil Spirits.
Suddenly, he was overcome by a chilling sensation!
Wang Chen was startled and immediately retrieved the Blood Crystals into his hand, while also fortifying himself with Heavy Light Shield Armor!
He had previously used the global detection mode, and there were no evil spirits in the vicinity.
So where did the danger come from?
Wang Chen spread his right hand, quietly gripping the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net.
Crack!
The next moment, the ice surface a hundred steps away from him suddenly shattered.
Pieces of broken ice were controlled by an invisible force, rapidly assembling into an armored ice figure without facial features!
This ice armored figure towered over nine feet tall, with an exceptionally burly physique, and it also held an ice spear in its hand.
The source of the immense danger Wang Chen felt was hidden within this ice armored figure!
Wang Chen fixed his gaze on the opponent, preparing himself for a fight to the death.
This was, undoubtedly, the most powerful evil spirit he had encountered since descending into the Yin Nether Realm.
Simply judging from the horrifying aura that was leaking out, it was already comparable to the "Fierce" tier of evil wraiths.
A Fierce tier evil wraith is on par with a Golden Core True Person!
He had been careless.
The smooth sailing earlier had caused Wang Chen to underestimate the dangers of the Yin wind tide.
As a result, he had farmed too many minor monsters and had ended up provoking the boss!
"Foreigner..."
Just then, the ice armored figure actually spoke, "You have crossed the line."
Its voice came from within its body cavity, low and muffled but still clear.
Crossed the line?
Wang Chen found it absurd.
Could it be that the West Sea Sect, with its pioneers in the Yin Nether Realm, had some sort of bottom-line agreement with the monster spirits and evil wraiths of this world?
If there were such an agreement, the sect would surely have informed its pioneering disciples!
Out of caution, Wang Chen did not immediately attack this strange and powerful evil spirit.
However, the ice armored figure did not explain or show any intention of further communication; it suddenly exploded into a shower of ice shards.
Wang Chen sensed an extremely sinister and evil aura rapidly fading into the distance.
And then it disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the immense sense of threat that had been weighing on his heart also vanished!
Was it just a warning?
Truth be told, even Wang Chen himself found it hard to believe such an outcome.
But that was the reality. The powerful evil spirit that had suddenly appeared didn't seem to have any intention of attacking him, giving him an enigmatic warning before leaving.
After some thought, Wang Chen decided to call off today's expedition and, with the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net in hand, retreated back to the defense area.
Intuition told Wang Chen that if he were "obstinate" and continued hunting White Ghosts, this boss-grade evil spirit would definitely become relentless in its pursuit of him.
Although Wang Chen had the Demon-Slaying artifact like the Punisher Net, he had no confidence that he could emerge victorious in a fight.
The appearance of the opponent also made Wang Chen realize that the Yin Nether Realm was far more complex than he understood!
This world had untold secrets, and as a conquering force, the West Sea Sect had likely unearthed only the tip of the iceberg.
Wang Chen decided to quit while he was ahead.
In the subsequent days, he no longer went out to hunt White Ghosts.
Wang Chen had already collected many Utmost Yin Beads, and the Pure Yang Pearls refined from these beads were sufficient for his cultivation for a considerable length of time.
There was no need to take further risks. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
Therefore, Wang Chen entered a state of deep meditation once again.
And after more than four months, the Yin wind tide finally came to a complete end!
