After a fierce battle with the Da Dou Shi, a whole day and night had unknowingly passed.
With the gentle nourishment of the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, Mo Yu's body slowly began to recover.
Once his meridians and muscles were repaired to their normal state, the warm energy coursing through his body also gradually faded.
As the external energy infusion grew weaker and eventually disappeared, Mo Yu finally broke through the darkness in his consciousness and opened his eyes, blurry with exhaustion.
Upon opening his eyes, Mo Yu immediately felt a sharp pain splitting his head, a throbbing ache surging through his mind.
"It seems I was too reckless with my soul technique." Holding his head with a pale face, Mo Yu muttered in a low voice.
For most people, the depletion of Dou Qi was a major problem, one that required a long time to fully recover.
However, for Mo Yu, with the nurturing of Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and his unique Heavenly Thunder Body, recovering was not a complicated matter.
Yet, the depletion of soul power was more troublesome in comparison. While the principles of soul techniques and Dou Techniques are similar, soul techniques demand far more soul power. This is also why most soul techniques have been lost in the Dou Qi Continent.
As a Tier 3 Weapon Refiner, Mo Yu's soul power was significantly depleted by using a mid-tier Xuan-class soul technique, comparable to the amount of Dou Qi consumed by an Di-class Dou Technique.
Without external help, the depletion of his soul power left Mo Yu in a rather miserable state.
"Wait, didn't Xiao Yixian give me some herbs related to soul power recovery?" Stroking his temple, Mo Yu suddenly recalled something, and his black eyes brightened.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu gritted his teeth against the pain and took out the six jade bottles that Xiao Yixian had given him from his spatial ring.
His eyes swept over the six bottles, and when he saw the second one on the left, emitting a faint mist and containing a translucent green needle-like herb, the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile.
"Rejuvenation Grass!"
Although this herb was only mid-tier, worth a mere few thousand gold coins, it had a certain restorative effect on soul power.
Though it couldn't fully restore the damage to Mo Yu's soul power, it wasn't useless either. Moreover, Mo Yu knew a perfect formula to maximize the effect of this herb. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel~fire~net
Half a day passed. Inside the spacious cave, torches illuminated the walls.
At this moment, the young man stared intently at the white jade bottle in his hand. The liquid inside was a pale green. As he swirled the bottle, he could feel the faint green liquid brimming with a strong, pure energy.
"The Soul Rejuvenation Elixir is finally ready."
In his previous life, Mo Yu had often suffered from soul power exhaustion due to overuse, so he paid particular attention to recipes that could help restore it.
Even though the Rejuvenation Grass wasn't high-grade, when refined into the Soul Rejuvenation Elixir, it was remarkably effective, comparable to a Tier 2 pill.
With a slight smile, Mo Yu didn't hesitate any longer and directly drank the pale green liquid in one gulp.
As the liquid entered his body, he immediately felt a warm energy spreading towards the depths of his mind. As this energy reached its destination, the pain in his head lessened significantly. Not only that, but his depleted soul power also began to respond, slowly recovering.
Though the recovery speed was slow—less than a tenth of his Dou Qi recovery rate—Mo Yu was content.
One must understand that soul power, unlike Dou Qi, is an ethereal and elusive force, making both its usage and recovery incredibly complex.
After half an hour, when the effects of the Soul Rejuvenation Elixir finally subsided, Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes.
"What a pity. A few more Rejuvenation Grasses would've been great," Mo Yu shook his head as the soothing sensation faded. His soul power depletion had been too severe. While the Soul Rejuvenation Elixir had worked well, there just wasn't enough of it.
"Forget it. I'll have to recover the rest slowly."
Stretching lazily, Mo Yu wasn't one to be ungrateful. One Rejuvenation Grass had already improved his condition significantly. As for the remaining depletion, it would simply take time to fully recover.
After resting in a meditative position for another hour, Mo Yu felt his inner energy gradually stabilizing before finally opening his eyes. From his bosom, he took out a light green spatial ring.
This ring was the very one he had snatched after Mo Yin's arm was blown apart by the explosion of the Dark Serpent Shadow Sword. The explosion had blasted the ring away, and Mo Yu had seized it.
The reason Mo Yu had been able to trigger the explosion of the Dark Serpent Shadow Sword was that he had mastered a secret technique called the 'Weapon Explosion Art.'
This technique had no use in combat, but it allowed the user to implant a hidden mark while forging a weapon. This mark was extremely subtle, only detectable by the weapon's creator, and once triggered, the weapon would disintegrate and explode.
In his previous life, Mo Yu had been a master weapon refiner, but he had enemies everywhere. Once, an enemy had used a weapon he had forged against him, nearly costing him his life. After that, Mo Yu developed the Weapon Explosion Art.
Ever since his reincarnation, using this technique had become second nature. He had casually marked the Dark Serpent Shadow Sword, never expecting to actually use it.
Thinking about this, Mo Yu couldn't help but marvel at the unpredictability of life. At the same time, he felt a deep killing intent towards Mo Yin and the Mo Clan behind him.
If not for his formidable methods, he might have perished here today!
After a while, Mo Yu suppressed the tangible killing intent and began examining the ring.
The spatial ring wasn't of high quality, just a low-tier one. Still, as it had belonged to a Da Dou Shi, Mo Yu's interest was piqued.
His soul power smoothly entered the ring. When his attention fell upon a long, faintly golden, majestic thread-like item in the corner, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Tai Xuan Golden Thread!"
This was one of the two remaining main materials needed to refine the 'Flame Binding Net.' Who would have thought that he'd find it in Mo Yin's spatial ring?
Before Mo Yu could finish celebrating, he also found a Tier 3 magic core, causing him to marvel at his unexpected fortune.
Mo Yin had been the first formidable opponent Mo Yu had faced since his reincarnation, and the battle had caused him immense trouble.
Luckily, Mo Yu had used various methods to survive, and he had reaped a great deal of valuable loot.
A Tier 3 magical beast was equivalent to a human Da Dou Shi, so a Tier 3 magic core was far rarer than a Tier 2 core. In the vast Wu Tan City, Tier 3 magic cores were incredibly scarce.
With this Tier 3 core, Mo Yu could quickly break through to a Nine-Star Dou Zhe.
After scouring the ring further, aside from some low-tier pills and gold coins, there was nothing else of note. Mo Yu wasn't surprised by this.
Though Mo Yin was a Da Dou Shi, he was an assassin, and it wasn't practical to carry everything in his spatial ring while on a mission. Finding the Tai Xuan Golden Thread and a Tier 3 magic core was already a significant windfall for Mo Yu.
After transferring everything from the green ring to his beast ring, Mo Yu put the ring away.
By this time, Mo Yu had also figured out his current location. In order to escape Mo Yin's pursuit, he had been forced deep into the heart of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
Unlike the outer areas, the inner regions of the Magic Beast Mountain Range were home to numerous high-tier magical beasts. Not only were there Tier 5 beasts, but even Tier 6 beasts weren't uncommon.
For the time being, Mo Yu spent most of his time hiding in the cave to cultivate, occasionally venturing out to hunt low-tier magical beasts to improve his diet.
After settling in, he avoided Mo Yin's assassination attempts and was no longer disturbed. With peaceful cultivation, his Dou Qi grew richer and more refined, like wine aging in a cask.
A month after waking from his coma, Mo Yu's soul power had fully recovered and even improved somewhat.
He began preparing for a breakthrough, and after successfully using the Thunder Soul to devour the Tier 3 magic core, the violent energy within the core allowed the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder to feast, rapidly growing stronger.
With the Thunder Soul's help, Mo Yu successfully broke through to a Nine-Star Dou Zhe, just one step away from becoming a Dou Shi.
As Mo Yu stood up, ready to celebrate, a violent surge of energy and a deafening lion's roar suddenly echoed through the sky like thunder.
"Is that... the aura of a Dou Huang?"
