As Li Ye delved deeper into his cultivation, he increasingly realized the immense power contained within the bell. However, this power was not merely a source of assistance; the malevolent spirit within the bell lurked in the shadows, gradually siphoning off Li Ye's soul energy in an attempt to merge with him. Li Ye was acutely aware of the danger posed by the malevolent spirit and remained vigilant at all times. Yet, the spirit's power was so formidable that his struggles seemed insignificant.
During one of his cultivation sessions, Li Ye sat cross-legged, channeling spiritual energy within him, attempting to break through his current level once more. This time, however, the malevolent spirit seized the opportunity and launched a silent attack. A powerful wave of dark energy surged into Li Ye's consciousness, rendering him unable to resist. His eyes gradually lost their luster as he felt his soul being eroded and assimilated, his awareness fading as if he were about to be consumed by darkness.
At that moment, Zhiruo suddenly burst into the training room. Seeing Li Ye's pale face and vacant eyes, she immediately understood what had happened. As a Herbalist, Zhiruo quickly retrieved a vial of spiritual medicine from her pouch—an elixir she had personally concocted with potent calming effects. She poured the elixir into her hand and swiftly employed her unique Herbalist technique to channel its power directly into Li Ye's body.
"Brother Ye, hold on!" Zhiruo urged anxiously as she pressed her hands against Li Ye's temples, infusing him with the medicinal energy.
The power of the elixir rapidly spread throughout Li Ye's body, cleansing his soul like a refreshing spring. Under the influence of the medicine, Li Ye's mind gradually regained clarity. He sensed that the darkness within his soul was temporarily suppressed, but it continued to tear at him relentlessly.
Zhiruo knew that relying solely on the elixir would not resolve the issue entirely. She quickly took out a Silver Leaf from her pouch—an extraordinary Spirit Tree Leaf she had obtained by chance, known for its ability to stabilize souls. She placed the Silver Leaf on Li Ye's forehead and recited an ancient Herbalist incantation.
The Silver Leaf emitted a brilliant light that directly illuminated Li Ye's forehead. His body jolted as his consciousness fully awakened. Under the radiant glow, a dramatic transformation occurred within Li Ye's soul. He felt his essence being torn into two parts: one remained himself—kind and resolute; the other was filled with murderous intent and evil desires—the malevolent spirit. The two forces clashed within him, refusing to yield.
As Li Ye gradually regained his senses, he realized that this division allowed him to temporarily resist the spirit's encroachment. Summoning all his strength, he struggled to rise from the ground and looked at Zhiruo with heartfelt gratitude.
"Zhiruo, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have been completely controlled by the malevolent spirit," Li Ye said weakly.
Zhiruo nodded, concern etched on her face. "Brother Ye, you must be careful; the malevolent spirit in the bell is incredibly powerful. We need to find a way to eliminate it completely; otherwise, you could be at risk of being invaded again at any moment."
Suddenly, however, Li Ye's expression twisted into a grimace as a glint of malice flickered in his eyes. His voice turned low and chilling: "Little girl, you've ruined my plans. Once I fully take control of this body, you'll be the first one I deal with."
Zhiruo was taken aback by this sudden change but quickly regained her composure, realizing that it was the malevolent spirit temporarily occupying Li Ye's body. She stepped back and declared firmly: "Brother Ye, I won't let you be controlled by that spirit!"
At that moment, Li Ye's body trembled again as clarity returned to his gaze. The voice of the malevolent spirit vanished, replaced by Li Ye's calm tone: "Zhiruo, don't be afraid. I will resolve this issue."
Li Ye closed his eyes and entered his sea of consciousness. Within this realm stood two souls facing each other: one was kind and resolute—Li Ye himself; the other was filled with murderous intent and evil desires—the malevolent spirit.
"You think you can keep me suppressed forever? Sooner or later, I will completely take over this body," sneered the malevolent spirit.
Li Ye coldly regarded it: "As long as I am alive, you will have no chance. Don't you want this body? If you dare lay a finger on Zhiruo again, I'll ensure we both perish together!"
The evil spirit's expression darkened. "How dare you!"
"Try it," Li Ye's voice was filled with determination. "You should know that as long as my will is strong, you cannot fully control this body. You need me alive, and I will not let you succeed. But unfortunately, your soul power currently comes from me; if I die, you will die too!"
The evil spirit fell silent for a moment before sneering, "Fine, I don't need to bluff with a junior like you. The situation is indeed unfavorable for me right now, but that cannot last forever! I will definitely find a way to break through this limitation and completely take control of your body!"
Li Ye did not say anything further. He understood that this internal struggle would be long-term, but he would never easily yield. His consciousness returned to the real world as he opened his eyes and looked at Zhiruo in front of him.
"Brother Ye, are you okay?" Zhiruo asked with concern.
Li Ye nodded and smiled slightly. "I'm fine. Thank you, Zhiruo. With you here, I will definitely overcome the evil spirit."
Zhiruo held Li Ye's hand firmly and said, "We will face it together; we will surely find a solution."
After briefly suppressing the evil spirit, Li Ye felt that he had turned misfortune into fortune. The intense battle of souls not only did not weaken him but instead advanced his cultivation further. He clearly sensed an increase in his spiritual power within, and his realm had actually risen a level to Qi Refinement Level Three.
During this soul conflict, Li Ye's two Wolf Corpses also underwent astonishing changes. The once ordinary Wolf Corpses were now covered in pitch-black scales that shimmered with a cold light, resembling ferocious beasts from hell. Their size had doubled compared to ordinary wolves, with well-developed muscles and an overwhelming sense of strength. Their sharp claws resembled steel blades, and their fangs glimmered with a chilling light; their eyes burned with dark red flames as if they could see deep into the soul.
First Wolf Corpse
The First Wolf Corpse exuded a strong black aura, with flashes of Thunderlight visible between its scales. It opened its massive mouth and let out a low growl that shook the ground and seemed to change the color of the sky. Its combat skill was called Thunder Roar, capable of summoning lightning; in the blink of an eye, enemies within its attack range would be struck by lightning and turned to ashes, its power incredibly terrifying.
Second Wolf Corpse
The Second Wolf Corpse's eyes were filled with a chilling light, and the surrounding air seemed frozen. Its combat skill was called Frozen Howl, which could gather Chill from the surroundings to form a frost storm that instantly froze enemies into ice sculptures before crashing into them, shattering the ice sculptures and leaving enemies crushed into pieces—a truly gruesome scene.
Li Ye looked at the new forms of the two Wolf Corpses, feeling an indescribable sense of power surge within him. He knew he was no longer the weak boy who could be easily slaughtered.
The evil spirit observed everything through Li Ye's eyes, feeling a cold surprise within. It was not just because of Li Ye's cultivation improvement and the mutation of the Wolf Corpses but also due to Zhiruo's presence that made it feel an indescribable threat.
Zhiruo stood beside Li Ye, a soft glow enveloping her, as if a warm force flowed through her. The evil spirit noticed that whenever Zhiruo approached, Li Ye's soul seemed to stabilize even more, and even its own power was somewhat suppressed.
"What is this girl really about?" the evil spirit wondered, a hint of apprehension flashing in its eyes.
Zhiruo seemed to sense something; she looked at Li Ye with determination and concern. "Brother Ye, let's continue our training. I believe you can overcome any difficulties."
Li Ye nodded, feeling immensely grateful. "Alright, Zhiruo. With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
As his realm improved, Li Ye felt that there were secrets hidden within the ancient tomb. In the past, when his strength was low, he had not noticed them. Now that his spiritual power had increased, he vaguely sensed an unusual force calling to him from deep within the tomb.
One night, Li Ye and Zhiruo decided to explore deeper into the ancient tomb. They moved along the dark passage and finally stopped in front of a stone wall. Using his spiritual power, Li Ye discovered that behind this stone wall lay a hidden chamber.
They pushed open the stone wall and entered the chamber, finding it filled with many ancient scrolls and books. Li Ye carefully browsed through them and found a particularly special manual titled "Heavenly Physician Ancient Scroll." This manual recorded many long-lost Herbalist techniques that could greatly enhance an Herbalist's cultivation level.
Zhiruo excitedly took the "Heavenly Physician Ancient Scroll," tears of gratitude shimmering in her eyes. "Brother Ye, this ancient scroll is so important to me. Thank you!"
Li Ye smiled and shook his head. "Zhiruo, we are in this together; this should all belong to you."
The evil spirit coldly observed everything happening within Li Ye's body, feeling a growing sense of alertness. Zhiruo's presence seemed to be more than just that of an ordinary Herbalist. There was an ancient and powerful force within her that even made the evil spirit feel a twinge of fear.
"What secrets does this girl hold?" the evil spirit wondered uneasily, a flicker of anxiety crossing its eyes.
