59: Soul Essence Pill!

Open the jade box!

In the center of the jade box lay a pure white Medicinal Pill, surrounded by nine pill patterns, emitting a refreshing pill fragrance!

This was clearly a Soul Origin Pill, and with nine pill patterns circling its body, it was a rare and exquisite quality Medicinal Pill!

(Soul Origin Pill: A second-grade mid-tier Medicinal Pill! It has the effect of repairing the Divine Soul and Divine Sense!)

Wei Zhou wrapped his two fingers in spiritual power and extended them into the jade box!

His two fingers steadily pinched the Medicinal Pill.

He slightly parted his lips.

With a gentle toss backward, the Medicinal Pill traced a graceful arc and fell into his mouth!

“Gulp!”

As the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, a faint sound echoed within Wei Zhou's body!

Wei Zhou quickly adjusted his state!

He activated his Cultivation Technique, slowly refining the medicinal power contained within the Medicinal Pill!

Streams of gentle and mild medicinal power flowed from his mouth into his body.

They were absorbed by the Divine Soul miniature figure in Wei Zhou's glabella main acupoint!

After absorbing the Divine Soul power contained within the Medicinal Pill, the Divine Soul miniature figure in Wei Zhou's glabella main acupoint visibly improved in complexion!

......

Two hours later,

Wei Zhou opened his eyes, feeling that his Divine Sense and Divine Soul had recovered by more than half!

He let out a long breath of turbid Qi, slowly stood up, and patted his shoulders!

He stretched his body!

Then he looked around; the entire underground Cave was still quiet, with only the sound of water dripping from the stalactites: drip-drop, drip-drop!

“Drip—drop! Drip—drop! ......”

Wei Zhou inexplicably felt a tremor in his heart and dared not linger in the Cave.

He formed hand seals, chanting an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation!

Immediately after, he closed his eyes!

......

When Wei Zhou opened his eyes, he had already arrived on the ground!

He released his Divine Sense, which instantly spread out like a tide in all directions!

After confirming there was no danger, he cleared away all traces he had left there!

He performed a quick calculation with one hand!

He couldn't help but frown because his calculation showed that he was hundreds or even thousands of miles away from the temporary Immortal Cave he had constructed!

“Flying by sword for hundreds or thousands of miles! It will surely consume a lot of time and a lot of magical power!”

Wei Zhou pinched his glabella and sighed!

But he had no better method!

So he summoned his magic sword and hurried towards the temporary Immortal Cave he had constructed!

Now he only hoped that he wouldn't consume too much magical power after reaching the temporary Immortal Cave!

Wei Zhou stood on his magic sword, gazing around!

Suddenly, he sensed a figure about 100 miles ahead, emanating an evil aura, with a cultivation merely at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refinement Stage!

He didn't want to cause more trouble, so he changed direction, planning to take a detour back!

After flying for some distance, Wei Zhou felt the evil figure approaching his direction!

He said with a chuckle.

“Is this person trying to rob me?!”

As he spoke, Wei Zhou couldn't help but accelerate his magic sword, injecting a large amount of magical power into it!

He rapidly fled into the distance!

He did this not because he was afraid of that evil Cultivator, but because he would not act rashly without understanding the other party's cultivation background!

This was prudence! Or one could say the Dao of caution!

......

After Wei Zhou flew at full speed with his magic sword for a short while, he returned to his original speed!

He sensed behind him and was surprised to find that the evil Cultivator was still chasing him relentlessly!

And the evil Cultivator's speed was still increasing! It seemed he had used some treasure to speed up!

Wei Zhou steered his magic sword down into the forest below!

He fully activated the Mixed Origin Breath Concealment Art! His figure vanished in place like a ghost! His aura was perfectly concealed!

His entire being almost completely blended into the surrounding environment!

If anyone were there, they would certainly not discover that a person was hidden nearby!

Immediately after, Wei Zhou took out several Talismans from his Storage Pouch! He held them in his left palm!

Then, with his right hand, he took out several defensive Talismans from his Storage Pouch!

He infused magical power into the Talismans and then affixed them to his body!

Only then did he satisfactorily withdraw his hand! He quietly waited in place for the evil Cultivator to arrive!

About a few dozen breaths later, a figure shrouded in a black robe, emanating an evil aura, with only a pair of greedy eyes visible, stopped in mid-air!

His hawk-like gaze swept around, then looked down at a patch of bamboo forest!

He muttered to himself.

“That's not right! I clearly sensed a half-step Foundation Establishment aura here!”

“How can there be no one?”

The black-robed figure looked confused, then spoke with a sudden understanding.

“Oh! I know! He must be hiding in the forest below!”

“Yes, yes, it must be like that?!”

The voice from beneath the black robe was neither male nor female, with a slight hoarseness.

How to describe that voice? It was the kind of hoarse voice one would have after not drinking water for a day! But it was impossible to tell if it was male or female!

Wei Zhou, with his two large eyes, looked up, muttering a few words under his breath.

“You know it all now! ......”

The black-robed figure seemed completely unaware of Wei Zhou's muttered words!

The black-robed figure brazenly released his cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refinement Stage!

As if afraid others wouldn't know he was a Cultivator at Qi Refinement Great Perfection!

He frowned and looked down, releasing his Divine Sense!

The black-robed figure's Divine Sense immediately spread out like a spider web!

Until it covered the entire forest below!

When the black-robed figure's Divine Sense swept over Wei Zhou, there was not the slightest unusual fluctuation!

Wei Zhou crossed his arms in front of him, looking at the black-robed figure above!

The black-robed figure paced back and forth in the air, muttering to himself.

“This shouldn't be, there's really no one here!”

“It seems the Evil Soul Banner might have sensed wrong?”

As he spoke, the black-robed figure took out a banner from his Storage Pouch!

The banner was entirely dark purple, and its whole body was surrounded by many Dao patterns, flickering!

The black-robed figure looked at the banner in his hand, walked around it a few times!

Then he shook his head, put the banner back into his Storage Pouch, and sped off towards the southeast!

It wasn't until the black-robed figure had flown several hundred miles away from this spot that Wei Zhou gradually revealed himself!

He put the Talismans in his hand back into his Storage Pouch!

He said with a pained expression.

“I wasted a defensive Talisman for nothing! I should have intercepted and killed that person here just now!”

“That way, maybe I could have replenished my small Storage Pouch!”

After speaking, Wei Zhou even patted the Storage Pouch hanging at his waist!

However, even if the evil Cultivator at Qi Refining Great Perfection had stood in front of him just now, he still wouldn't have attacked! After all, stable cultivation is the Dao, and it's not advisable to easily make enemies!
