Chapter 99: Soul Realm, Taking the Holy Soul Pill!

"Ding, detected that the host has granted the Second Disciple Xiao Yi Xian a Five-Star Magic Core Soft Armor, Profound Ice Spirit Armor. Congratulations to the host for triggering a ten-thousand-fold return and obtaining an Eighth-Rank Magic Core Soft Armor, the Profound Ice Holy Armor."

"The Profound Ice Holy Armor has been deposited in the system space. Please check it, host."

Gu He, who was meditating, heard the system notification in his mind, but before he could react, two more system notifications sounded in succession.

"Ding, detected that the host has granted the Second Disciple Xiao Yi Xian a Fourth-Grade Peak Pill, the Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill. Congratulations to the host for triggering a ten-thousand-fold return and obtaining a Seventh-Grade Pill, the Dou Zong Pill."

"The Seventh-Grade Pill, the Dou Zong Pill, has been deposited in the system space. Please check it, host."

"Ding, detected that the host has granted the Second Disciple Xiao Yi Xian a Fifth-Grade Peak Pill, the Quenching Soul Pill. Congratulations to the host for triggering a ten-thousand-fold return and obtaining an Eighth-Grade Pill, the Holy Soul Pill."

"The Eighth-Grade Pill, the Holy Soul Pill, has been deposited in the system space. Please check it, host."

After hearing the system notifications in his mind, Gu He was slightly confused for a moment. However, he quickly understood.

It seemed that Xiao Yi Xian had already broken through to the Eighth Star Dou Master and claimed the rewards he had left for her.

A hint of joy flashed in Gu He's eyes. Originally, he had left the rewards at Yunlan Sect just as an experiment. He wanted to see if the system return mechanism would activate without personally granting the rewards to his disciple. Now it seemed that this method was effective.

Gu He was satisfied with this result. After all, he couldn't stay at Yunlan Sect forever, nor could he always be by his disciples' side. The discovery by the system would give him more freedom in his future actions.

The only downside was the Transmission of Techniques ceremony, which required his physical presence to trigger the system return mechanism. This time, his absence meant missing an opportunity for the ceremony.

If he were at Yunlan Sect right now, he could personally conduct the Transmission of Techniques for Xiao Yi Xian, and he believed it could help her advance to the third or fourth star Dou Master realm. However, such situations were unavoidable, and Gu He could only minimize his losses and make the most of the monthly system return opportunities.

After realizing this, Gu He calmed his thoughts and directed his consciousness into the system space.

Once inside, his gaze fell on three items floating in the void.

One was a soft armor radiating a brilliant blue light.

The other two were delicate jade bottles.

Gu He's gaze first landed on the blue soft armor. "Is this the Profound Ice Holy Armor?" he murmured.

He immediately commanded, "System, extract the Profound Ice Holy Armor!"

As he spoke, the blue soft armor in the void trembled slightly and then transformed into a blue light that shot toward Gu He. When the light dissipated, he found himself wearing the blue armor underneath his clothes.

With a thought, Gu He infused his Dou Qi into the Profound Ice Holy Armor. In an instant, a brilliant blue light burst forth, illuminating the entire system space. A dense and extremely cold power of Profound Ice suddenly surged and condensed into a Profound Ice armor that covered his entire body.

Running his hand over the Profound Ice armor, Gu He felt an intense chill rushing to his heart. During the moment when he extracted the Profound Ice Holy Armor, information about it had already flooded his mind.

The Profound Ice Holy Armor was an Eighth-Rank Magic Core Soft Armor, embedded with several Eighth-Rank Magic Cores.

On the continent of Dou Qi, soul strength had no level difference, but it was divided into realms: Ordinary, Spirit, Heaven, and Emperor.

Most people, even alchemists of Seventh Grade or lower, had their soul strength at the Ordinary realm. The difference lay in the strength of their souls.

As for the reason why many alchemists remained at the Seventh Grade, it was precisely because of this realm of the soul. In the continent of Dou Qi, soul strength had four levels: Ordinary, Spirit, Heaven, and Emperor.

Most people, even alchemists of Eighth Grade or lower, remained at the Ordinary realm, with varying degrees of soul strength.

Of course, Gu He, as he was now, naturally belonged to the Ordinary realm.

But compared to ordinary people, his soul strength was much stronger.

Some Seventh-Grade alchemists, with fortuitous encounters, might touch upon the Spirit realm. Once their soul strength reached this realm, they would gain a special ability: to endow pills with spiritual attributes.

Having inherited the knowledge of the Ninth-Grade Alchemist, Gu He knew that Eighth-Grade pills were mostly those with extraordinary spirituality. It was precisely because of this spirituality that they could reach the Eighth-Grade level.

Common alchemists, regardless of their alchemical skills, couldn't refine Eighth-Grade pills. If they couldn't impart spiritual attributes to pills, then those pills could never reach the Eighth-Grade level.

A Heaven realm soul was enough to refine Ninth-Grade pills.

Ninth-Grade pills were almost like living beings. If a soul's strength reached this level, it was akin to creating a sentient being. To achieve this, the soul needed spirituality, as well as the power of heaven and earth. To reach this level, the soul's strength had to be at the Heaven realm.

This level was rare on the continent of Dou Qi.

As for an Emperor realm soul, it was almost legendary.

Reaching this realm was required to refine the legendary Emperor-Grade pills. Emperor-Grade pills were closely related to the legendary Dou Emperor. However, few had ever reached this level.

Looking at the jade bottle containing the Holy Soul Pill in his hand, Gu He's eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

Although he didn't know how close or far he was from reaching the Spirit realm in terms of soul strength, he was sure there was still a considerable gap.

If he consumed this Holy Soul Pill, it would greatly reduce that gap and possibly even elevate his soul strength to the peak of the Ordinary realm.

The power of an Eighth-Grade pill was sufficient to achieve this.

Afterward, Gu He gradually withdrew his consciousness from the system space.

Returning to his body, he glanced at Yun Yun, who was peacefully asleep.

If he used the Dou Ancestor Pill to break through, the commotion would be too great, and it might disturb her. After some thought, Gu He decided to take the Holy Soul Pill first.

With a thought, a jade bottle appeared in Gu He's hand, containing the Holy Soul Pill.

Upon removing the bottle cap, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Gu He held the jade bottle, tilting it slightly, revealing a thumb-sized dark red pill. The entire pill was dark red, smooth, and what astonished Gu He the most was the faint mist that surrounded the pill.

This mist seemed to possess its own consciousness, occasionally condensing into various shapes, hovering around the pill, giving it an extraordinarily mystical appearance.
