113: Celestial Soul Power!

He took a deep breath, and a wisp of faint cyan flame suddenly rose from his palm. Subtle spatial patterns flickered on the flame's surface; it was his Strange Fire (Unique Flame) infused with Spatial Power.

This Unique Flame's temperature was extremely high, yet it could be precisely controlled, making it most suitable for refining rare substances.

Jiang Luo placed the copper piece above the flame, and the Unique Flame's heat slowly permeated the copper piece, beginning to bake off the surface rust.

Half an hour later, the green rust on the copper piece's surface gradually softened. Jiang Luo carefully peeled off the rust with his Soul Power, condensing it into a thumb-sized green copper ball.

Then, he increased the Unique Flame's temperature and placed the copper ball into the flame's core.

This step required extreme caution; too low a temperature would prevent the dust from separating, while too high would destroy the dust's spiritual essence.

Ten minutes passed, and the green copper ball slowly melted into a liquid. The green color on its surface gradually faded, and tiny, pale yellow dust particles precipitated from the liquid, suspended in the flame like nimble stars, emitting faint Soul fluctuations.

A hint of joy flashed in Jiang Luo's eyes. He continued to maintain the Unique Flame's temperature until the last particle of dust separated, then slowly withdrew the fire source.

At this moment, five spirit-guiding dust particles were suspended in mid-air, each containing extremely pure Soul energy.

Jiang Luo raised his hand and collected the dust into a Jade Bottle, his heart full of anticipation.

The spirit-guiding dust was a treasure for enhancing Soul Power. His current Soul Realm had reached the Peak of the Spiritual Realm, and with the power of this dust, he could now attempt to Breakthrough to the higher Heavenly Realm.

After a brief rest, Jiang Luo took out a particle of spirit-guiding dust, closed his eyes, and placed the dust before his glabella. As he circulated his Soul Power, a suction force emanated from his glabella, and the dust instantly transformed into a pale yellow stream of light, drilling into his Sea of Consciousness.

In an instant, a sharp stinging pain struck. Jiang Luo's body tensed, but he endured it, not interrupting the process.

This was a normal reaction when Soul energy integrated into the Sea of Consciousness.

The stinging sensation was fleeting, replaced by a warm and comfortable airflow that spread from his Sea of Consciousness throughout his entire body.

The sparse Spiritual Qi in the surrounding space seemed to be drawn in, continuously seeping into his body, nourishing his Soul.

Jiang Luo could clearly feel his Soul Power in his Sea of Consciousness rapidly increasing, and the previously stagnant Realm barrier also began to show signs of loosening.

"The effect of this spirit-guiding dust is even better than expected!"

Jiang Luo was overjoyed. He quickly composed himself and fully focused on guiding his Soul Power to Impact (Impact) the Realm barrier.

A night quietly passed. When the horizon began to lighten with dawn, Jiang Luo suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

His Soul Realm had finally achieved a Breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm!

Now, he was not only a Grade 8 Alchemist, but his Soul Power had also reached the Heavenly Realm standard. The success rate for refining Eighth Grade Pills had greatly increased, and he was confident in handling the Alchemist Association's assessment.

Jiang Luo got up and pushed open the door. Fresh air rushed in, and Ye Zhong and Ye Xinlan were already waiting in the courtyard. Seeing the powerful Soul aura surrounding Jiang Luo, their eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.

"Lord Jiang Luo, your Soul Realm..."

Ye Zhong's voice trembled with disbelief. He could feel that Jiang Luo's Soul fluctuations at this moment were more than a notch stronger than yesterday.

Jiang Luo smiled slightly, "I fortunately broke through to the Heavenly Realm, so I'm more confident about the assessment."

Ye Zhong nodded repeatedly with excitement, his voice even trembling slightly, "Good! Very good! With Lord Jiang Luo here, our Ye Family will definitely pass the assessment!" Today's assessment not only concerned whether the Ye Family could retain their seat among the Five Great Families but was also key to washing away years of humiliation. His excitement was beyond words.

Ye Xinlan also had a face full of joy, "Big Brother Jiang, congratulations! With you here, we will definitely win!"

Jiang Luo nodded slightly, his tone steady, "Elder Ye, please lead the way. Today, let us meet the other Four Great Families."

Ye Zhong took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and took the lead, walking towards the Assessment Hall.

Jiang Luo and Ye Xinlan followed side by side, their figures appearing exceptionally resolute in the morning light.
