Chapter 323 : Red Moon Empress's Illness (2)
Qin Xingling has the ability to see through everyone's soul because of the blessing of this Land. At the same time, as her strength increased, her influence over souls also increased.
Over time, she learned to manipulate other people's souls, control them, and even extract pure soul energy for her own use. She could absorb those soul energies to enhance her personal Soul Force and make her soul even stronger.
Time gradually passed and with her ability, she completely controlled all the important people in her empire. She made sure that no one would ever dare betray her which might cause the fall of her empire.
If someone committed a grave crime, enough to be executed on the spot, she would secretly preserve their soul, extract the soul force, and absorb them. She also helped Ning Xiang regarding her soul.
Gradually, she discovered a path like never before.
This path was the path of souls. This is the path that only one race in the entire universe could take. That race is the Spiritas Race.
Spiritas Race is a race that only cultivates their soul. They don't even touch Chaos Energy and look at the Chaos Energy with disgust.
They cultivate Soul Force, but it doesn't mean they are weak. They are, in fact, incredibly strong.
Qin Xingling, luckily, obtained a powerful cultivation technique from a Spiritas Race senior. That person from the Spiritas Race accidentally discovered Qin Xingling inside a secret realm. And knowing that she has taken the path of souls because of the blessing of a Land, that person has her a Soul-type Cultivation Technique.
However, he also warned Qin Xingling that she was not a pure Spiritas. She could cultivate her soul, however, she better be careful and not cultivate this technique more than four hours a day.
After returning to her empire, Qin Xingling followed that person's instructions and only cultivated that cultivation technique four hours a day.
However, one day, 'something' happened that caused her Soul Force to go berserk. This also led to the collision of Chaos Energy and Soul Force which deeply wounded her soul.
This resulted in her current situation.
When Ye Xiao activated the Eyes of Insight, he saw through the crux of the problem. He does not know the details of what and how everything led to this point, however, he could still guess many things.
In the end, his conjecture was similar to Fang Shen.
Everything was caused by a cultivation technique.
However, Ye Xiao's conjecture was slightly different from Fang Shen's.
Fang Shen calculated that a foreign energy invaded her soul because of a cultivation technique, and that led her to become severely ill.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao was able to directly look at her soul and even the Essence of the Soul. In short, his gaze could see through all the very causes of the problem. He knew the true reason behind Qin Xingling's current state.
If the pill prepared by Fang Shen is really given, that is obviously prepared to force the foreign energy out of her body, that pill might take the Soul Force that she painstakingly cultivated as foreign energy.
After all, a pill that is meant to take any energy other than Chaos Energy as foreign will definitely take effect on Soul Force as well.
No matter what, Soul Force is not Chaos Energy after all.
How was Ye Xiao so sure that the pill prepared by Fang Shen would consider all energies other than Chaos Energy as foreign energy?
It is because of the ingredients prepared listed by Fang Shen.
Although Ye Xiao is not a Pill Refiner, he used to be a Pill God back in the Heavens after inheriting the memories of a Pill God. He had refined countless pills and was well-versed in the alchemy.
Here, in Chaos, although Ye Xiao spent most of his time outside and in cultivation, he spent enough time looking through information including medicinal herbs and fruits that could assist one in cultivation.
Just looking at the list, Ye Xiao knew the effects of almost all the ingredients written there. With the help of his alchemy knowledge from the Heavens, he was easily able to deduce what kind of pill could be refined by using these ingredients.
Thus, he was sure about the effect of this pill.
If Qin Xingling was truly fed this pill, she would lose her Soul Force.
transformed into a deadly poison after the collision of Chaos Energy and Soul Force, and was indeed slowly corroding Qin Xingling's soul.
Losing her Soul Force also means losing everything she had worked hard for her entire life. At the same time, she might also lose the blessing of this Land.
That is also the reason why Ye Xiao raised a question at Fang Shen.
As for why Ye Xiao said that Qin Xingling's soul is poisoned by a terrifying Soul Poison, it is because that 'something' which caused her Soul Force to go berserk, transformed into a deadly poison after the collision of Chaos Energy and Soul Force, and was indeed slowly corroding Qin Xingling's soul.
In fact, her soul was still in the initial phase of corrosion.
If Ye Xiao's [Life Recovery] ability coupled with [Morning Brilliance Dew] was used, Ye Xiao was sure to immediately help Qin Xingling recover her soul. At the same time, he could also force that deadly poison out of her soul and body with his powerful strength.
Talking about this poison, it is the result of two different energies and 'something' that acted as a medium.
.....
No matter how well-intentioned Ye Xiao's words were, in the eyes of Pill Refiners, he was just trying to create trouble.
What could an ordinary brat know about ingredients and pills?
Most importantly, they wanted to get in the good books of Fang Shen.
Now that Ye Xiao has presented himself as an opportunity, how could they not take advantage of it?
"Soul Poison?"
"Arrogant brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"
An old Pill Refiner glared at Ye Xiao as he berated loudly.
The rest of the Pill Refiners' faces were also filled with anger.
Fang Shen had an extremely high reputation in their profession. How could a young brat like him comment on this?
Although Ye Xiao had already lived for hundreds of years in Chaos, he was still very young in front of people who had already lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
"I'm not spouting nonsense. And how can you be sure that she is not poisoned?" Ye Xiao coldly looked at the old Pill Refiner and spoke.
"Ridiculous. Her Majesty's cultivation is so high. How could she be poisoned?"
Although Ye Xiao glared at the old Pill Refiner coldly, he was not scared. Most importantly, all Pill Refiners here were on his side.
Indeed, the moment Ye Xiao spoke, the few Pill Refiners sneered.
Fang Shen, on the other hand, ignored everyone else and squinted his eyes. After a short while, he spoke, "If you are sure about Soul Poison, then tell me, how should I treat Her Majesty?"
Ye Xiao first glanced at Ning Xiang who was also curiously looking at him.
From her looks, he understood that she had already recognized him. He smiled at her and then glanced at the Red Moon Empress who was lying on the bed, saying faintly, "If we want to cure her, the only way is to force the poison out of her soul."
Raising his head, he continued without waiting for those Pill Refiners to butt in. "It's actually a very simple process. Someone with a higher cultivation base than Her Majesty has to use their Divine Sense to force the Poison out. Also, when the Divine Sense locates the poison, they have to stay very careful, not let the poison seep inside their soul using their Divine Sense as a medium."
"Arrogant!"
"How dare you!"
A few shouts immediately covered Ye Xiao's voice.
Everyone looked at Ye Xiao with angry eyes.
Qin Xingling was the Empress of the Red Moon Empire.
Does he think she is a nobody?
How dare anyone use their Divine Sense to look into her soul?
No one would dare do that.
"After all, he's a young man. Everyone, don't make a big deal out of a trivial matter. However, this old man never likes to be pointed at by others when treating illnesses. You'd better leave on your own." Fang Shen said in a deep voice.
At first, he thought that Ye Xiao might have something to back his words. It turned out that all Ye Xiao had were empty words and nothing else.
"What do you say?"
Ye Xiao ignored Fang Shen and darted a look at Ning Xiang. He knew that Ning Xiang knew Qin Xingling much better than everyone else.
Furthermore, when Fang Shen told everyone about the invasion of foreign energy, Nig Xiang had frowned.
It was clear that she was sure that no foreign energy had invaded Qin Xingling's soul.
However, she had no idea how to cure Qin Xingling. She also doesn't know the reason behind Qin Xingling's current state.
Having no choice, she decided to trust Fang Shen's words and agreed to let him treat Qin Xingling.
