Chapter 1816: Chapter 1812: Heard of Soul Threads

"I know, it’s just that the Taiyi Realm is not something that can be reached just because one desires it." Nie Caizhu sighed gently, speaking despondently.

How could she not want to advance to the Taiyi Realm? After coming out from the Celestial Secret Realm, Fairy Qinglian saw that Nie Caizhu’s cultivation had reached the True Immortal Peak and immediately prepared several methods and elixirs to help her break through to the Taiyi Realm, but, regrettably, none were successful.

"I’ll think of a way later to see if I can help you break through." Shen Luo pondered and spoke.

Standing aside, Yuan Qiu heard Shen Luo’s words, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

How difficult it is to advance to the Taiyi Realm! Shen Luo dares speak such boasting words. Is he bragging in front of a woman, or does he really have the ability?

"Alright, I’ll be waiting." Nie Caizhu, extremely trusting of Shen Luo, said with delight upon hearing the words and flew into her cave.

"I’ll go rest first too." Yuan Qiu, somewhat fearful of Shen Luo, coughed dryly and flew towards his cave.

"Wait a moment." Shen Luo suddenly spoke up.

"Does Brother Shen have something else?" Yuan Qiu’s eyelid twitched, pausing his steps.

"Let’s talk at your cave." Shen Luo led the way, flying towards Yuan Qiu’s residence.

Yuan Qiu, unclear of the reason, could only brace himself and follow.

After entering Yuan Qiu’s cave, Shen Luo waved his hand, laying down a layer of prohibition around the room, isolating it from the outside sounds.

"Brother Shen, what is it? Feel free to speak your mind." Yuan Qiu asked cautiously with a slight thrill in his heart upon seeing this.

Without a word, Shen Luo turned his hand and took out a book, tossing it over.

Yuan Qiu instinctively caught it, scanning it briefly, and immediately his face showed a look of great joy.

This book was none other than the complete version of the Medicine Immortal Collection he had yearned for all these years.

He enthusiastically delved into it, seemingly forgetting Shen Luo was right beside him, and only after a long time did he come to his senses, lifting his head from the classics.

"Brother Shen, according to our agreement that day, I was to stay by your side, assisting you for a hundred years before you would give me this Medicine Immortal Collection, although the time from that year’s agreement has passed a hundred years, I haven’t stayed by your side, why..." Yuan Qiu hesitated to speak.

"I’ve been slumbering in Chang’an City for a hundred years, so you can’t be blamed for not fulfilling the agreement. This Medicine Immortal Collection is something I can do without, so I’ll give it to you." Shen Luo said calmly.

"Thank you, Brother Shen." Yuan Qiu’s body trembled lightly, genuinely grateful.

His Gu techniques had already become quite accomplished, but because he didn’t have the complete Medicine Immortal Collection, there were several aspects of the Medicine Immortal Sect’s Gu refining techniques that he could never thoroughly comprehend.

Now that he had obtained the complete version of the Medicine Immortal Collection, all these key points were mastered. Once he thoroughly understands them, his Gu techniques can progress even further.

"These are just small matters, but compared to your Gu techniques, your cultivation progress is indeed much slower." Shen Luo scrutinized Yuan Qiu with eyes, speaking.

"My situation, Brother Shen, you know best. When Yuan Qiu perished, it was by relying on the residual soul power within my life Gu that I controlled this body, and the divine soul was incomplete. Over the years, by relying on resources, I’ve barely managed to advance to the Great Mahayana Peak. To go further, it seems impossible." Yuan Qiu showed a touch of melancholy.

"With an incomplete divine soul, indeed there is no hope for the Great Path, but if you could restore your soul, there might still be a possibility." Shen Luo said.

"Restore the soul? Only the soul-restoration techniques of Sage Nuwa can accomplish that. Such heaven-defying arts, where could I find them?" Yuan Qiu shook his head and sighed.

"I have a method, though not as miraculous as the legendary soul-restoration techniques, it should slightly adjust your state. If you trust me, I can cast the spell to try." Shen Luo spoke.

The Suwen Chapter of Huangdi Neijing includes a secret method to repair the divine soul, which should resolve Yuan Qiu’s divine soul issue.

"Are these words true?" Yuan Qiu abruptly stood up, his lips trembling as he asked.

"I don’t have full confidence either, it’s merely an attempt, do or don’t, you decide." Shen Luo spoke calmly.

The excitement on Yuan Qiu’s face gradually faded away, and he fell into silence.

The divine soul is extremely fragile, and any means used on it involves great risks, not to mention that his divine soul is inherently incomplete and far more fragile than a normal person’s. Since Shen Luo said there isn’t full confidence, there’s a risk of failure.

But if he doesn’t do it, he will never advance to the True Immortal Stage.

Yuan Qiu’s expression was indecisive. Over the years, he had put in countless efforts to repair his divine soul, consuming numerous precious elixirs and Immortal Fruits previously embezzled spiritual materials from the Dragon Palace and fled, all to exchange for a precious Spirit Fruit from One Medicine House.

That Spirit Fruit indeed had excellent effects. After taking it, his appearance changed from an old man to his current middle-aged look, but he clearly knew that the most fundamental divine soul issue had not improved at all.

If it were only the divine soul issue, it might be tolerable. Yuan Qiu’s current life is quite good, and as a Great Mahayana Peak Gu Master, he receives respect wherever he goes. But now, there’s a bigger issue confronting him: lifespan.

This body originally has little lifespan left. Despite all his efforts to fill the gap over the past hundred years, it’s still a drop in the bucket. If things continue like this, he only has fifty or sixty years left before his life ends in seated transformation.

Rather than sitting and waiting for death, why not make a desperate gamble, defying the heavens!

"Then, I’ll trouble Brother Shen!" Yuan Qiu gritted his teeth and cupped his hands to speak.

Shen Luo motioned for Yuan Qiu to sit in front of him, placing one hand on his head, with his palm glowing with a bright green light, enveloping Yuan Qiu’s head.

Yuan Qiu only felt his divine soul being like soaking in warm water, very comfortably warm.

"It seems that Shen Luo indeed has some skills." His confidence in Shen Luo increased a bit.

Shen Luo circulated Huangdi Neijing, a gentle power infused into Yuan Qiu’s divine soul, mending the wounds of his divine soul.

Yuan Qiu’s divine soul was critically incomplete, and if a normal person’s complete soul equals a full moon, then Yuan Qiu’s soul is like a half-moon, with riddled holes, making repairs significantly challenging.

Fortunately, as Yuan Qiu is only a Great Mahayana Stage Cultivator, with a two-major realm difference from Shen Luo, the gap in soul power even greater, any anomaly can be suppressed.

Shen Luo took a deep breath and vigorously operated Huangdi Neijing, inserting dozens of jade-green soul threads into the damaged space of Yuan Qiu’s divine soul.

This is a secret technique recorded in the Suwen Chapter, the Su Wen Soul Threads.

He directed his soul power into these Su Wen Soul Threads, transforming instantly into pure divine soul power, integrating into Yuan Qiu’s divine soul.

Only soul power can repair the divine soul, and the art of restoring the soul is certainly a sacrificial gesture of benefiting others at one’s own cost. Even if someone possesses the capability to repair divine souls, they would never easily use it. However, with Shen Luo possessing the Soul Devouring Array, any lost divine soul could be rapidly restored, so he had no such concerns.

The Su Wen Soul Threads wove through and repaired the wounds within Yuan Qiu’s divine soul bit by bit.

Time passed gradually, very soon over half a day had gone by.

Shen Luo gently exhaled, his face slightly pale, withdrawing his hand from Yuan Qiu’s head.

Yuan Qiu sat cross-legged with eyes closed, wisps of white smoke curling from the top of his head, his cheeks glowing softly.

This spell was remarkably successful, with ninety percent of Yuan Qiu’s divine soul repaired, leaving the remaining ten percent to be restored slowly by his own adjustment and meditation.
