Ji Yuan and Master Qingcheng successfully defeated Eagle Changkong. Ji Yuan gifted the Skylark Falcon's demon pill to Master Qingcheng and, in return, received the beast's corpse. Ji Yuan also generously offered a powerful Qi Blood Pill to the ailing Master Qingcheng, which greatly aided his recovery. Recognizing Ji Yuan's unique elixirs, Master Qingcheng proposed a trade, offering either spirit stones or his True Treasure for the remaining pills.

Left Spirit Stone, Right True Treasure.

Is there even a need to choose?

Ji Yuan feels that if he hesitates even a bit, it would be showing disrespect to Master Qingcheng’s protection.

"Good, good, good."

The slender Master Qingcheng strokes his beard with a smile, waving his right hand lightly, "Take it, take it."

As he speaks, the True Treasure falls into Ji Yuan’s hands.

Ji Yuan receives it with both hands, injecting a trace of mana into it.

The information of the True Treasure pours into his mind: it’s a Flying Sword, indeed in the shape of a Willow Leaf, named "Chuisi".

Even the willow tree that Master Qingcheng manifested in the end is secretly connected to this Flying Sword, making Eagle Changkong unable to withstand.

While Ji Yuan examines the information of this True Treasure, Master Qingcheng takes the porcelain bottle containing the Elixirs.

There are a total of 12 improved Qi Blood Pills inside, and he takes out 3 with one breath, checks them, and then swallows them in one go.

Instantly, a thick Blood Qi emanates from him, any residual old injuries and remnants of Spiritual Qi within his Five Viscera are dissipated under this pure Blood Qi, finally expelled from the body.

This is like a long drought followed by sweet rain for the body.

Even causing Master Qingcheng to let out a sound of comfort.

With these three Qi Blood Pills taken, his gray hair visibly darkens rapidly.

As Master Qingcheng refines the Elixirs, Ji Yuan of course won’t miss such a good opportunity.

He transforms into Escape Light, quickly rushing to the place where Eagle Changkong fell earlier.

Without hesitation, he reverses his hand and takes out the Thousand Souls Banner.

Muttering incantations, his hand waves the Black Banner.

Within just one breath, a thick gloomy wind converges around.

This is something Ji Yuan has never encountered before, even when dispatching cultivators at the peak of Core Formation and capturing their Divine Souls.

Mostly, the Thousand Souls Banner simply sways gently, gathering their Yin Souls and taking them into the Soul Banner.

But this time is different.

The shadow of the Yin Soul is yet to be seen, but the gloomy wind... is already very intense.

Causing Ji Yuan to subconsciously feel some pressure.

Not simple.

Definitely not simple.

The Thousand Souls Banner continues to wave, as the surrounding gloomy wind becomes even richer, and even materializes gray ghosts visible to the naked eye.

"Damn, this Nascent Soul Monster’s Yin Soul, is it truly this formidable."

"If this really gets taken in, it might devour the other Yin Souls within my Soul Banner... However, according to the refining rules of the Thousand Souls Banner, to advance to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it indeed requires a primary soul. The Yin Souls of peak Cultivators at Core Formation can’t serve as primary souls, so it must be the Divine Soul of a Nascent Soul Monster."

Ji Yuan is pondering this as the gloomy wind blows all around.

Soon, he hears a chilling voice beside his ear.

"Kid, you killed me, and now you dare to summon my Yin Soul, do you truly fear death not!"

As the voice arises, Ji Yuan notices the surrounding gloomy wind suddenly grows stronger, while the gathering ghost mist before him condenses into a huge form, with Eagle Changkong ascending from this ghost mist.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan urgently injects more mana into the Thousand Souls Banner.

He raises the Soul Banner and exerts it with full force.

Instantly, a great suction force emanates from it, gradually drawing in the surrounding ghost mist.

Eagle Changkong’s figure shifts slightly, but soon he resists the suction.

Ji Yuan panics seeing this.

Could this... be too much?

"Heh, the dead should have the awareness of being dead!"

Suddenly, Master Qingcheng’s voice reverberates around.

Ji Yuan’s eyes brighten.

He sees an elder’s figure appear out of nowhere behind Eagle Changkong’s Yin Soul, his right hand like an eagle’s claw reaches out, entwined with green mana, seizes forward, then rapidly binds.

Eagle Changkong’s Divine Soul is instantly restrained by him.

The Yin Soul shrinks gradually, finally falling into his palm, struggling frantically, emitting a series of ghostly wails.

Master Qingcheng keeps a composed expression and says:

"If yours was a Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he’d have no escape, but unfortunately, now you only have a Thousand Souls Banner, so I’ll first weaken him, and subsequently he’ll recover with your Thousand Souls Banner; as long as your cultivation advances fast enough, he won’t escape."

"Thank you, senior."

Ji Yuan quickly replies.

He never expected a Nascent Soul Monster’s Divine Soul to be so formidable, and thankfully with Master Qingcheng present today, otherwise, trouble would have arisen.

After his words, Master Qingcheng holds Eagle Changkong’s Yin Soul in his left hand, while his right hand’s index and middle fingers form a sword gesture.

He creates talismans in the air above the Yin Soul.

Eagle Changkong’s screams grow louder, until Master Qingcheng finishes the last stroke, then he tosses the Yin Soul into the Thousand Souls Banner.

"Go!"

The Yin Soul enters the Soul Banner, and Ji Yuan quickly activates the restrictions inside the Soul Banner, finally storing it into the Storage Bag.

The Soul Banner is put away.

Even before Ji Yuan can sigh in relief, Master Qingcheng exhales first with a gust of turbid air.

"Whew—"

Looking at the remaining 9 Qi Blood Pills in the porcelain bottle in his hand, a glimpse of treasure-like expression flashes in his eyes before reluctantly putting them away.

"These Elixirs are indeed a real treasure, especially for old cultivators like me."

Ji Yuan, seeing this reaction, inevitably thinks.

If the chance is right, I’ll give this elder a few more; after all, such precious Elixirs, keeping a few for myself is unavoidable.

Surely, he would understand.

Comparing to the previous Nightmare True Monarch, Bone Nightmare Old Demon, and Mansion Master of Xuan Snake, Ji Yuan clearly trusts Master Qingcheng more.

Firstly, he’s not a proper Demon Dao.
