“You truly have a way with things.” Murong Xue snorted and rubbed her beautiful nose as she spoke.

Although this woman Murong Xue wasn’t too old, she already possessed a certain charm. Her delicate appearance caused Lin Feng to feel a little flame of desire burning in his heart.

“That’s only natural. Didn’t you see who this young master is? Are you falling in love with me?” Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed with a smile as he stared at Murong Xue.

It was as though some of her private thoughts were seen through by others. Murong Xue felt her heartbeat quickened, but she naturally wouldn’t admit it. She snorted, “Hmph, how would this young miss fall for you? Stop dreaming.”

When she saw Lin Feng not replying and putting his attention on the Darkness Devil Scorpion, Murong Xue continued, “Why do you keep looking at this monster’s body?”

“Such a powerful monster. We were lucky that we managed to kill it. Do you want this corpse? If you don’t, I’m going to take it,” Lin Feng spoke.

“I naturally wouldn’t want such a thing.” Murong Xue glanced at the scorpion corpse with disgust.

“Hehe, I will take everything then…” Lin Feng then kept the scorpion corpse into his hoarding ring.

After that, Lin Feng and Murong Xue headed into the few stone chambers. The things in these stone chambers were intact and in good condition. In one of the stone chambers, Lin Feng discovered some scrolls.

Many of these scrolls were records and notes about medicine refinement.

It seemed like Daoist Wuji was also a medical refinement master.

Other than that, there were also two earth-tier martial skills.

One was the Crumbling Fist, the other was the Icy Palm.

Lin Feng took the scroll containing the Crumbling Fist while Murong Xue took the one with the Icy Palm. Murong Xue had been cultivating a martial skill named the Frost Ice Fist. Now with an additional Icy Palm in her possession, these two skills would complement each other well.

“It’s a pity that Daoist Wuji’s corpse was eaten by that damnable Darkness Devil Scorpion. If not, we might be able to obtain Daoist Wuji’s hoarding ring. I’m sure there would definitely be many good things left behind in the hoarding ring of an expert at the Yin Yang Realm,” Murong Xue sighed.

Lin Feng also felt extremely helpless. He spoke, “We cannot do anything about that. Our current harvests are already not bad.”

In another chamber, Lin Feng also discovered a palm-size jade cauldron.

He opened the cauldron and discovered that there were actually two medicinal pills within.

There was even a small plate placed beside the jade cauldron.

“Mystic Jade Pill.” Lin Feng read out the words on the plate.

“What? Mystic Jade Pill? Is this for real?” Upon hearing Lin Feng’s voice, Murong Xue hurriedly ran over. When she saw the two pills in the cauldron, a look of joy and surprise appeared on her face.

“This is truly the Mystic Jade Pill in the legends. The way of concocting these pills have long since been lost. To think that there are two of them here,” Murong Xue exclaimed in surprise.

“What is a Mystic Jade Pill?” Lin Feng involuntarily asked when he saw how excited Murong Xue was.

“This is a pill that can allow one’s martial soul to evolve,” Murong Xue spoke with some agitation in her voice.

“What? It can allow one’s martial soul to evolve?” Lin Feng had a dumbfounded expression.

This was the first time he heard that martial souls could evolve.

Murong Xue spoke, “It’s rumored that there are three types of medicinal pills that can allow martial souls to evolve. They are known as the Martial Soul Pill, Mystic Jade Pill, and the Soul Concentration Pill. However, the concoction methods for these three pills were long lost. Now, it’s an extremely difficult thing if one wished to evolve their martial souls. Naturally, there are still some other methods available. I heard that there are some treasures birthed by heaven and earth that could allow one’s martial soul to evolve upon consuming them. The effects of these treasures are naturally much better compared to medicinal pills. These three types of medicinal pills can only allow a cultivator’s martial souls to evolve when they are in the first cultivation realm, and their success rate isn’t 100%. Even if it succeeded, the effects of the medicinal pills would be completely useless if people were to consume them again. As for those treasures birthed by heavens and earth, they could be used multiple times to evolve one’s martial soul, and their rate of success is 100%. However, it’s naturally as difficult as ascending to the heavens for one to find such treasures. Today, we being able to obtain two Mystic Jade Pills is already considered a heavenly opportunity.”

Lin Feng nodded his head. This was truly a heavenly opportunity.

“What a marvelous treasure.” Lin Feng revealed a smile.

Murong Xue continued, “There are ten grades of martial souls. The lower their grade, the higher the chance they will be able to evolve. For martial souls of the fourth-grade and lower, there’s a 100% chance of evolving if they consumed the Mystic Jade Pill. For the fifth-grade to eighth-grade, there’s a 50% chance. For ninth-grade martial souls, there’s a 1% chance. And as for tenth-grade martial souls, the evolution chance is only 0.1%.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng’s lips couldn’t help but twitch. The rate of success for his martial soul to evolve was only 0.1% after consuming this pill?

But when he thought about the fact that his martial soul was already at the tenth-grade, he couldn’t help but be curious about what would happen if it evolved again. Would its appearance change? He then asked, “Can a tenth-grade martial soul still evolve? Isn’t the tenth-grade the absolute limit?”

Murong Xue continued, “It’s rumored that for tenth-grade martial souls, all of them contained heavenly secrets. In addition, a tenth-grade martial soul cannot be evolved into; one has to be innately born with it. This also means that it’s useless to consume any evolution-type treasures to evolve a ninth-grade martial soul to a tenth-grade; it most probably wouldn’t work. However, there’s a certain percentage that a tenth-grade martial soul can evolve once more and become a supreme tenth-grade martial soul. At that time, the evolved martial soul might gain a unique power or have more forms instead.”

“Unique ability or more forms? What does this mean?” Lin Feng’s heart leaped.

Murong Xue shook her head. “I’m not too sure about this either because I’ve never seen it before.”

After that, she took one of the Mystic Jade Pills and smiled. “Now, my frost ice martial soul is at the eighth-grade. If it can evolve, it would reach the ninth-grade.” She was extremely excited. She glanced Lin Feng and asked, “Lin Feng, what grade is your martial soul at?”

This was the first time Lin Feng had heard that every tenth-grade martial soul would have a huge secret within. His own martial soul was a tenth-grade one. Could it be that there was a huge secret in his devouring martial soul?

Upon facing her questioning, Lin Feng replied, “My martial soul is the same as yours, an eighth-grade one.”

Murong Xue’s lips twitched. “I knew that your martial soul is extraordinary, but I didn’t expect it to be an eighth-grade one as well.”

Lin Feng smiled, “If this medicinal pill really can allow martial souls to evolve, we should try it and see if it can bring about a transformation to our martial souls.”

Murong Xue’s eyes gleamed with a bright light. She spoke with excitement, “In that case, let us consume a pill each to see how are the effects.”

Lin Feng nodded. He took the other pill, and both of them went to different chambers and began their seclusion to refine the Mystic Jade Pill.
