Chapter 218: Refining the Earth Core Soul Marrow, Breaking through to the Spiritual Realm!

  The day, a white-robed man appeared in an unnamed valley in the Bain.

  "Let's enter seclusiht here and strive to break through to the Spiritual Realm of the soul."

  The white-robed man was her than Gu He. During this period, he had devoured the souls of many powerful individuals, causing his soul, which had previously been at the peak of the mortal realm, to show a hint of instability.

  Sensing this, Gu He couldn't help but feel delighted, as this was a great opportunity to break through to the Spiritual Realm of the soul.

  To achieve this breakthrough, Gu He chose to stop hunting down powerful experts from various forces and instead entered seclusion.

  Wheime came, he would make a certed effort to break through to the Spiritual Realm of the soul.

  Before long, Gu He created a dim cave out of thin air, using it as his pce of seclusion.

  With a thought, Gu He released the Bck Scaled Frigid Python from the system space.

  "Master!"

  "You finally let me out."

  As soon as the Bck Scaled Frigid Python emerged, it transformed into a burly man in bck clothing and looked at Gu He with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

  Evidently, being trapped in the dark and silent system space had been quite unfortable for the Bck Scaled Frigid Python.

  Seeing the aggrieved expression on the Bck Scaled Frigid Python's face, Gu He felt a bit sorry. If he had known, he would have taken the bodies of Han Feng and the others with him, allowing the Bck Scaled Frigid Python to have a good meal.

  Gu He had no pity for these extremely wicked individuals. Leaving their corpses intact was already a great fortune for them.

  If it weren't for the fact that he had taken away all of their treasures, Gu He would have ied their bodies with a single fme.

  "All right, you guard my seclusion diligently. After I e out, I'll treat you to a good meal." Gu He forted the Bck Scaled Frigid Python.

  Upon hearing this, the Bck Scaled Frigid Python's eyes lit up, and he immediately went to the entrance of the cave, patting his chest, and said, "Master, you rest assured and focus on your seclusion. With me here, no one will disturb you."

  Gu He nodded and then walked to the ter of the cave, where he sat cross-legged. However, he didn't immediately start w; instead, he closed his eyes and adjusted his mental state and dition.

  Whether the Earth Core Soul Marrow could be successfully prepared would determine whether Gu He could thhly break through to the Spiritual Realm of the soul.

  Therefore, there was absolutely no room for distra.

  Gu He closed his eyes and tinued for nearly half an hour before slowly opening them.

  In his pitch-bck eyes, there were no ripples, like a deep well, unfathomable.

  He exhaled a breath slowly through his throat, and his palm moved in the void.

  The moment, four jade boxes floated in front of him. With a flick of his fihe lids of the boxes were lifted, and a unique fragrance filled the air, invigorating Gu He's spirit.

  Among the four items, the Earth Core Soul Marrow and Danling Jelly could be directly prepared, as long as the proportions were trolled correctly. As for the Sky Vulture Stone Esse o be refined from withione before it could be added to the preparation.

  Refining it wasn't a difficult task, especially fu He in his current state.

  Right now, Gu He extended his hand, and a green stone floated out, h in front of him.

  This green stone didn't look much different from ordinary rocks from a distance, but upon closer iion, one could see that it was covered with straterns. The surface of the stone was slightly transparent, and if pced in strong light, one could faintly see a viscous liquid flowing inside.

  This green stone was a seventh-grade spiritual object, the Sky Vulture Stone Essence, and it was one of the treasures used to bahe Earth Core Soul Marrow.

  Gu He g the green stone in front of him, then opened his mouth, and a green fme spewed out, pletely enveloping it.

  As soon as the fme appeared, Gu He immediately trolled it to raise the temperature to aremely high level. Ihan half a mihe surface of the Sky Vulture Stone Essence cracked open with fine cracks, and a faint odor spread from it.

  Seeing this, Gu He nodded slightly, and with a flick of his fingers, a weak force struck the Sky Vulture Stone Esse made a crag sound, and pieces of shattered stone fell from it, revealing the pale white pulp hidden within.

  As this white pulp appeared, Gu He gradually reduced the temperature of the fme until it became a wisp, burnih the stone.

  It looked like a fme was roasting a stone bowl, and in that bowl, the white pulp was still bubbling with tiny bubbles. Each time a bubble burst, a faint fishy odor would rise.

  This fishy odor was the impurities ione, and only by refining it could it be used to bahe Earth Core Soul Marrow.

  In this refining process, it didn't require much effort from Gu He. In just over ten mihe fishy odor within the white pulp had been pletely eliminated.

  After pleting the refi of the Sky Vulture Stone Essence, Gu He's expression remained unged. He waved his hand, and some delicate jade bottles and utensils appeared in his hand. Then, with a thought, tiny strands of liquid flowed out from the four jade boxes in front of him and, under Gu He's trol, merged into a transparent jade bowl.

  "Hiss!"

  As soon as the four liquids intermingled, a faint mist erupted, and they seemed to be in direct flict with each other. Upon tact, they tinuously released small bubbles.

  Gu He watched the iion of the four liquids attentively. After a while, the Danling Jelly and the Sky Vulture Stone Essence were pletely dissipated, leaving only the slightly mottled Earth Core Soul Marrow.

  "The Earth Core Soul Marrow quantity is too high."

  Seeing this, Gu He shook his head slightly. Acc to the prescription, the successfully prepared Earth Core Soul Marrow should be emerald green in color, but the one in the bowl was clearly showing signs of failure.

  Gu He didn't feel disheartened by this first failure. If something like this succeeded on the first try, it would be too fortunate. However, he was a bit distressed because the Earth Core Soul Marrow was too precious. If he failed multiple times, it would be a signifit loss for him.

  The followis remained unged. Gu He tio adjust the proportions of the three treasures meticulously. Aion, whether more or less, would disrupt the baween the four liquids, resulting in failure. Therefore, he had to maintain his posure, especially in the face of failure.

  Gu He failed three times in the blending of the four preaterials, and during these failures, nearly ohird of the volume of the four treasures had been ed.

  However, even though the cost was substantial, Gu He's face still didn't show any impatience. His method of blending became more and more profit, and he no longer hesitated when adjusting the proportions.

  With his current level of alchemy, he was likely among the best in the world. He couldn't let failures like this disturb his mental state. After all, if he couldn't handle such setbacks, how could he bee a strong individual?

  Gu He kept his eyes fixed on the liquid ihe jade bowl. He used his fio manipute the proportions carefully, ensuring that if one side's quantity decreased, he quickly added a tiny amount to maintain the bance.

  After several failures, this time the liquid in the jade boeared clearer and more vibrant. Faintly, a delicate fragrance emanated from it.

  Smelling this fragrance, a hint of excitement finally appeared in Gu He's eyes, which had remaiill all along. He flicked his finger gently, and a drop of Sky Vulture Stone Essence fell slowly into the jade bowl.

  "Hiss!"

  As the drop of Sky Vulture Stone Essence fell, the jade bowl was instantly filled with a faint mist. After the mist dissipated, what remained was a small bowl of viscous pulp, as vibrant as jade.

  "Phew."

  Looking at the quality of the liquid in the jade bowl, Gu He couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. With just this first success, the steps would beuch easier. In about two hours, he successfully blended nearly half of the remaining three preaterials.

  Holding the jade bottle filled to the brim, Gu He's face finally showed a tented expression.

  Although he had experienced many failures just now, the successful product he had now was more than enough for his current needs.

  ", this is the most important part."

  Holding the jade bottle, Gu He took a deep breath, and a hint of excitement fshed in his eyes.

  If this transformation could succeed, he would be able to break through to the Spiritual Realm of the soul.

  The Spiritual Realm of the soul correspoo being ah Grade Alchemist.

  As long as Gu He succeeded in breaking through to the Spiritual Realm of the soul this time, it would be a natural and easy path to reag the level of ah Grade Alchemist iure.

  At that point, he would truly have the qualifications and strength to tend with the strong individuals of the world.

  "This time, I must succeed no matter what!"

  With a determined look in his eyes, Gu He raised the jade bottle and poured the Earth Core Soul Marrow directly into his mouth. His head tilted back, and almost half of the Earth Core Soul Marrow flowed into his body through his throat, causing a sudden buzziion in his head.

  The spiritual power at his brow expanded rapidly at that moment, as if it had been catalyzed. The expansion was so rapid that Gu He felt an intense pain in his brow, as if his head was about to explode!
