"Really?"
Qin Shi was a little excited. He hurried forward and scooped up the holy spirit spring water. It was very rare, and there were only three drops.
Qin Shi kept one and poured the other two into the Book Incineration. The dim Book Incineration was infected by the holy spirit spring water, and it glowed faintly.
But the light flickered, and Jade In The Book did not wake up. Qin Shi couldn't help but pout. "Can't I?"
The evil-demon shook its head with a wry smile. "Little guy, your Book Incineration is extraordinary. It's probably a treasure nominated for the Divine Object List. It's filled with so much power that even I'm shocked. Do you really think you can wake it up just because you say so?"
"Divine Object List?" Qin Shi frowned.
"Yes, the Divine Object List is a list that records all the divine objects in ancient times. The magical treasures nominated on the list are all born in the heavens, born in the earth, and nurtured by heaven and earth.
They're extraordinary existences. "The evil-demon looked serious." You have a divine object nominated for the Divine Object List, and it's ranked second. "
"What is it?" Qin Shi's eyes widened. "I have such a treasure on me?
How come I don't know about it? "
"Broken Jade," the evil-demon said. "It's ranked second on the Divine Object List. When the Broken Jade is truly activated, its power is limitless. Otherwise, the Human Emperor wouldn't have used his mortal body to fight against me and Zhe Tian."
"There's such a thing?" Qin Shi was shocked. This was the first time he'd heard of such a thing. "Then what about the number one divine object?
What is it? "
"I don't know. The number one divine object has always been a mystery. Some say it's the spirit of the Wasteland Continent, while others say it's some supreme divine object. But since the Wasteland Continent was born, no one has ever seen it."
The evil-demon shook its head, then pointed at the Book Incineration in Qin Shi's hand. "From the beginning, I felt that the Book Incineration in your hand was extraordinary. But now, the energy is very weak, and I can't tell what grade it is. But I think it should be on the Divine Object List, and it shouldn't be too far behind."
Qin Shi clicked his tongue. He hadn't expected this evil-demon to have so many treasures.
So he didn't even know.
"The divine objects on the Divine Object List are damaged, and every one of them requires a huge amount of time to repair. Let's take the Collapsing Jade in your hand as an example. The serious injury from 30,000 years ago is still there, and it hasn't completely recovered even after 30,000 years."
The Nefarious Fiend paused for a moment before continuing, "That's why it won't be easy to repair your Book of Incineration. Although it won't take 30,000 years, it'll still take a few hundred or a few thousand years. For an Immortal Artifact that has no concept of time, that's normal."
"A few hundred years?
A few thousand years?
Are you kidding me? "
Qin Shi's eyes widened. He couldn't wait that long. Let's not talk about whether he could live until then. Even if he could, he would never allow such a thing to happen. He would be driven crazy by his yearning for Jade In The Book.
He wished he could see Jade In The Book right now.
"But you don't have to worry. You're different from a few years ago. Although your cultivation hasn't reached the top of this continent's golden tower, you can already be considered a core force. As long as you prepare some treasures that can heal the soul, you'll be able to help this Book of Incineration recover," the Nefarious Fiend advised.
Qin Shi nodded. He had been doing this for the past few years, and he would continue doing this for the next few decades. He wouldn't give up until his Sister Yu woke up.
"Take this." The Nefarious Fiend suddenly stretched out its hand.
Qin Shi was stunned. There was a scroll in the Nefarious Fiend's hand. After taking the scroll, he asked in confusion, "What is this scroll?"
"This is the pill recipe for the Ashen Spirit Recovery Pill that I wanted to keep for myself from 30,000 years ago. Our bodies are very similar to Immortal Artifact Spirits. Now that my injuries have recovered a little, you can take it and look for the spirit herbs on it. If you can refine it, it might be able to heal your Sister Yu." The Nefarious Fiend touched the corner of its mouth and turned its head away. "No need to thank me."
"Who wants to thank you?
It's just a pill recipe, not a medicinal pill! "Qin Shi snorted indifferently.
The Nefarious Fiend fiercely turned its head and angrily said, "Smelly brat, what did you say?
Don't you know?
This Ashen Spirit Recovery Pill's pill recipe was something I risked my life to obtain 30,000 years ago. This is a divine grade pill recipe!
Do you think it's a common common grade pill recipe? "
"Divine grade pill recipe?"
"Of course, this is a pill recipe that surpasses the ninth grade!"
The Evil Demon glared at Qin Shi and shook its head, saying, "Forget it. You wouldn't know this even if I told you. Let me give you a general explanation. Divine-Grade is the pinnacle of Medicinal Pills, the highest quality Medicinal Pills in this continent. In your mind, there should only be nine grades, right?"
Qin Shi nodded his head. That was what he had in mind.
"I knew it. Actually, pills are the same as martial arts. There are three grades above the ninth grade: Earth grade, Heaven grade, and Divine grade. According to the grade of martial arts, a divine grade pill is equivalent to a world-destroying martial art. It's the most precious existence in this world!" The Nefarious Fiend gloomily said.
"There's such a thing?" Qin Shi held his breath and restrained himself.
He really didn't know. He didn't think much of the pill recipe before, but now that he looked at it seriously, he realized that there were ancient Sanskrit words recorded on the pill recipe. It was very luxurious.
"Do you understand now?
It's just a pill recipe. Do you know how precious this pill recipe is?
It's not an exaggeration at all. If you take it out and auction it in the human world, countless alchemists will be willing to trample the eight regions for you, just for this pill recipe! "The Nefarious Fiend arrogantly scolded.
"Gulp!"
Qin Shi gulped. It seemed that this pill recipe was really precious. He couldn't help but feel a bit of warmth in his heart.
He opened the pill recipe and looked at the required herbs. For a moment, his eyes widened. Just the first item made his heart tremble. "A Domain Realm Desolate Beast's Beast Core?"
The Domain Realm was a height that he couldn't even dream of now.
"This Domain Realm Desolate Beast's Beast Core is easy. After all, as long as your cultivation level increases, you can go to the Beast World to find a Domain Realm Desolate Beast and kill it. The other six are the most troublesome." The Nefarious Fiend grinned.
Qin Shi shrugged. The Nefarious Fiend's words made it sound like Domain Realm Desolate Beasts were cabbages in the market. But when he looked back, his heart completely sank. He suddenly felt that the Nefarious Fiend's words were very reasonable.
"Barren Geocentric Milk, Nine Turn Chalcedony Grass, Ten Thousand Year Blood Lingzhi, Great Heavenly Sunken Leaf, Three Leaf Bodhi Fruit … What, what are these?"
Qin Shi had never even heard of the other six items.
"These six spirit herbs can only be found by luck. They are rare treasures in the world. Even if they exist, they are in the hands of the world's great powers. Do you know why I said that the Domain Realm Beast Core is easy to get?" The Nefarious Fiend said.
Qin Shi sighed bitterly and nodded. He knew that things wouldn't be so simple.
"But no matter what, it's better than nothing. One day, I will gather all of these spirit herbs."
"Sister Yu, wait for me. It won't be long before I wake you up."
Qin Shi said in his heart.
"Thank you, Nefarious Fiend," Qin Shi said sincerely.
"Alright, don't be pretentious. Let's look inside. Since this place can nurture a pure Spirit Spring, there should be some other treasures." The Nefarious Fiend waved his hand.
Qin Shi nodded. He hadn't expected that this stalactite cave, which had been so absurd for so long, would actually reveal so many secrets. He curiously leaped into the cave.
The deeper he went, the more intense the faint blue light on the walls became. Every bit of this light increased, the more pain Qin Shi felt in his sea of consciousness. He felt as if there was a powerful force tearing at his sea of consciousness. It was indescribably unbearable.
"What's going on?"
Qin Shi shook his head forcefully, restraining himself.
Just like that, they advanced for another hour. Qin Shi's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, there was a sudden flash of azure light in front of them. The Nefarious Fiend shouted, "We're almost there."
"We're finally there?
If we don't arrive soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on any longer. "
Qin Shi said angrily. His soul was much stronger than ordinary people, but even so, he was in so much pain. It was no wonder that no one came to this stalactite cave to cultivate.
After passing through the corner, the walls of the cave were already covered in azure starlight. At the end of this starlight was a blue barrier that couldn't be seen clearly. Powerful soul fluctuations flowed through the barrier.
"What is this?" Qin Shi frowned.
"I don't know, but there's an extremely ancient power on this barrier. This power isn't ordinary spiritual power, but a power that specializes in restraining souls. It's very similar to the Soul Severing Blade that I used on the Wild Enchanting Night," the Nefarious Fiend explained.
Qin Shi nodded. He had sensed this a long time ago.
He endured the pain and walked in front of the barrier. His hand lightly brushed past the barrier.
"Little guy, don't touch it!"
The Nefarious Fiend said, but it was clearly too late.
Qin Shi's palm came into contact with the barrier. In that instant, a vast and mighty pressure converged and suddenly swallowed Qin Shi's arm.
Qin Shi's black eyes widened. He felt as if he had fallen into the middle of millions of Desolate Beasts. Millions of Desolate Beasts were staring at him with their blood-red eyes, wanting to swallow him whole.
"Damn it!"
Qin Shi clenched his fists and tried to pull his hand back. However, he frowned indifferently. The power in his arm didn't listen to him. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull his hand out of the barrier.
Moreover, the azure glow on the barrier was eating away at Qin Shi. Qin Shi felt an intense pain in his sea of consciousness. He felt as if his head was about to explode, and his soul was gradually disintegrating under the azure glow.
"Little guy!"
The Nefarious Fiend was anxious. Its demonic eyes were ferocious. Suddenly, it used all its strength and slammed into the blue barrier where Qin Shi's arm intersected.
Boom!
Immediately, a ferocious force erupted like a volcano as it rebounded from Qin Shi's arm. Immediately, a crack that was half a person's height appeared on the blue barrier with a 'crack' sound. However, the instant the crack was formed, a wild and furious force violently rebounded and pounced at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi's eyes widened. He didn't even have the time to react. His body was sent flying backwards uncontrollably.
Boom!
