Earth Soul, What Exactly-Nine-Flower Mirror Stone!

They proceeded slowly in this manner.

Ao Le and Lan Feihu were on guard, but they got along peacefully the whole way.

That makes sense—

Although Lu Qingfeng was the Dragon Palace's consort and had the Little Dragon Girl Ao Le accompanying him, he was of human origin and, despite his reputation as a genius, was only at the Soul Condensation Realm. If it weren't for his status as the Dragon Palace's consort, even experts of the Third Realm like Lan Feihu wouldn't have given him a second glance, let alone Fourth Realm powerhouses.

As for Ao Le, she is Dragon Race but a woman, and she is timid, so her chances of achieving the Primordial Spirit Realm in the future are slim.

One who has just entered the second stage has enormous potential.

One's cultivation progress is slow, remaining at the Third Realm.

Those who do not reach the Fourth Realm will look down on powerful forces like the Min River Dragon Palace, which have Fourth Realm leader.

They wouldn't risk angering the Min River Dragon Lord by launching a surprise attack and inviting trouble.

Furthermore,

Lan Feihu was already a master of the Third Realm, and he also led 1,500 Min River Water Army, making him a formidable fighter. Even if seven or eight ordinary Third Realm experts came, they would find it difficult to break through.

More would come, or perhaps the Fourth Realm would intervene, but that's unrealistic.

As for small and medium-sized forces without Fourth Realm to guard them, they can't afford to offend the Min River Dragon Palace.

Therefore.

Ao Le, nestled in Lu Qingfeng's arms, was both shy and trying to stay alert, remaining vigilant about her surroundings, but the journey remained peaceful.

However, from Yuan Lake ahead, there seemed to be a commotion of chickens and dogs running around.

Not long after.

Yuan Bi flew over and landed in front of Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le. "Your Highness, Prince Consort, the waters and islands within a hundred miles of Seal Mountain Island ahead have been thoroughly searched. You can stay on Seal Mountain Island for now. After resting for a while, we will advance deeper into Yuan Lake."

With Yuan Bi, Lan Feihu, and Ao Le, all three experts of the Third Realm, we have nothing to fear, even if Fourth Realm expert descends, we can still face a dozen or so Third Realm experts.

However, Yuan Lake has a vast expanse of water and numerous islands.

If they don't thoroughly investigate every nook and cranny, and if a hidden expert were to launch a surprise attack, the three of them wouldn't be afraid, but they feared something might happen to Lu Qingfeng.

Yuan Bi was cautious and proceeded step by step.

"I'll listen to General Yuan."

In terms of leading troops and setting up camp, Lu Qingfeng was inferior to Yuan Bi, so he naturally obeyed. Moreover, given the rare favorable situation in this life, Lu Qingfeng cherished his life even more.

On Seal Mountain Island, there is a mountain peak that resembles a seal, hence the name.

Lu Qingfeng and his group set up camp on Seal Mountain Island.

Lan Feihu led 1,500 Min River Water Army to protect Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le, stationing them around Seal Mountain Island. Yuan Bi led 1,500 shrimp soldiers and crab generals, Qidian from Seal Mountain Island, to inspect numerous islands and seven thousand li of water.

It's simple in theory.

In reality, Yuan Lake contains numerous islands, each with its own hilltop. A single oversight could lead to overlooking a Third Realm demon that could pose a threat to Lu Qingfeng. The terrain beneath the water is far more complex than that of the islands.

Such a thorough investigation cannot be accomplished in just one or two days.

Lu Qingfeng entrusted all the matters to Lan Feihu and Yuan Bi.

He and Ao Le stayed on Seal Mountain Island.

"Yuan Lake has been unclaimed for a long time and is now a desolate wasteland. I'm afraid you'll have to suffer with me in the early stages."

At the summit of Seal Mountain Island, Lu Qingfeng gazed at the vast expanse of Yuan Lake, stretching for seven thousand miles, and then turned to look at Ao Le beside him.

Le'er Ao Le shook her head, "I don't feel bitter being with my husband."

She held a sword in one hand and placed the other in Lu Qingfeng's palm. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised and her eyes were sparkling. She was clearly in a very good mood. "From now on, Yuan Lake will be my husband's base. I am neither good at Le'er nor martial arts, but I am still Third Realm cultivator. When General Flying Tiger and Yuan Bi lead troops into battle, Le'er will serve as my husband's personal guard."

Ao Le looked up at Lu Qingfeng with a playful expression on her face.

"Ha ha!"

"With the Dragon Girl from the Min River Dragon Palace as my personal guard, let's see who dares to cause trouble at Yuan Lake!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ao Le smiled happily, her eyes crinkling.

The two stood atop Yinshan Mountain, conversing as husband and wife. Ao Le was filled with anticipation for the future, envisioning working alongside Lu Qingfeng, fighting side by side, and managing Yuan Lake together. He felt nothing but joy in his heart.

Even her personality has become much more cheerful.

Lu Qingfeng gazed at Yuan Lake, watching the ripples on the water, and felt an indescribable sense of joy.

Although the Dragon Palace is fully equipped with all kinds of supplies, and powerful figures like the Min River Dragon Lord are stationed there, ensuring his safety, Lu Qingfeng has too many secrets. Whether it's his Immortal Dao Cultivation Method or his Divine Ability, revealing them would only bring disaster.

So he remained taut for a full ten years, and even Lu Qingfeng was somewhat exhausted.

Now that he has escaped his cage, Lu Qingfeng can finally act freely.

"In the path of Nature Cultivation, the second stage, 'Soul Condensation,' requires the sequential condensation of the three souls: human, earth, and heaven."

"When the Aperture Opening fully opened and perfected, the Human Soul Living Soul, thus entering the Human Soul Condensation Realm. From this point on, wisdom is sublimated, the mind is clear, and one can speak of laws and perform hand seals and incantations. In the human world, one can be called Divine Ability being. In the school of Nature Cultivation that cultivates the mind, one can be called a Dharma Master."

"Continue to strengthen the Human Soul through the Dharma, and gain profound insights. When the time is right, the Earth Soul will be formed."

"The Soul Daoist Domain, the Soul of the Earthly Calendar."

"The Earth Soul is the condensation of the Daoist Domain, and it records past experiences. The more experiences one has, the deeper one's understanding, the stronger the Earth Soul and Daoist Domain become, and the greater their potential."

Many cultivators of the Nature Dao can discern their potential at this stage. If their Daoist Domain are small and superficial, their future achievements will be limited, and they may even remain trapped in the Earth Soul Realm for their entire lives.

Conversely, the potential is limitless.

"My Human Soul has been formed; the next step is to condense the Earth Soul."

Therefore.

When Lu Qingfeng gained insight into the Nature Cultivation method, he knew that the Human Soul Realm was the opportunity to temporarily leave the Dragon Palace and start cultivating the immortal Immortal Dao again.

The only thing I didn't expect was—

With such magnanimity, the Min River Dragon Lord directly promoted Lu Qingfeng, who had just condensed his Human Soul, to a fourth-rank deity, and even made him a regional governor in charge of a territory.

It was all to help Lu Qingfeng enrich his experiences, to witness the various aspects of life, and to observe the workings of the universe.

When the Earth Soul is condensed and the Living Soul Daoist Domain is established, it will surely be the first-class among cultivators of the Nature Dao.

It can be said that they put a lot of thought into it.

"This kindness."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head. The Dragon Lord had indeed treated him very well. Even considering his great talent and status as the Dragon Palace's consort, the favor was still immense.

The Dragon Lord treated him with utmost sincerity, and Lu Qingfeng accepted it without complaint.

Firstly, he is Ao Le's husband, so there's no need for formalities.

Secondly, he was confident that he had achieved something and would be able to repay the Min River Dragon Lord sooner or later, so he felt no guilt about enjoying the fruits of his labor.

Of these, the latter point is the most important.

However, the Min River Dragon Lord's efforts will be in vain.

"Not counting reality, in the novel 'Primordial World' alone, I have experienced sixteen lifetimes, nine different worlds, and cultivated for over nine thousand years. My rich experience is probably unmatched in the world."

At this point.

The Min River Dragon Lord could not have imagined it, nor could the thousands of cultivators in the Immortal Qin Realm.

Even.

Even Lu Qingfeng himself couldn't have imagined it.

"Nature Dao cultivators, Human Soul are condensed, have a lifespan of at most two or three hundred years. Even if they spend their whole lives experiencing and comprehending, their knowledge and understanding will still be limited in the end."

"Furthermore, if it takes too long, one's mind and body will be exhausted, one's appearance will age, and it's uncertain whether one can still condense the Earth Soul. Even if one does condense it, one's lifespan will be exhausted, which will affect future cultivation."

Therefore, in experiencing the world and cultivating Earth Soul, it is essential to maintain a proper balance.

Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Even if a celestial being is reincarnated, they cannot awaken the Past-Life Wisdom in their past life before the Earth Soul Human Soul formed. Within the Daoist Domain, they only experience and gain insights from the fleeting decades of this life.

Lu Qingfeng's situation.

Even in the Primordial World, it is unique and extremely rare.

"More than nine thousand years."

"I wonder what kind of Earth Soul it will gather, and what kind of Daoist Domain it will give rise to."

Lu Qingfeng also had expectations in his heart.

But.

"The more experiences one has, the broader and more complex the spiritual Daoist Domain becomes, and the more terrifying the accumulation required."

Besides the fact that experiencing and feeling takes a lot of time, the formation of the Earth Soul, the growth of the Earth Soul, and the solidification of the Daoist Domain all require more time to cultivate and refine, to increase soul power through painstaking effort.

In this way...

It is unknown how long it will take to perfect the Earth Soul and the Daoist Domain, thereby advancing to the 'Heavenly Soul' realm.

"With my husband in charge of Yuan Lake, the Earth Soul he gathers and the resulting Daoist Domain will surely be the best in the world. It will not be easy to achieve perfection."

"But my husband has the Mirror Stone bestowed by my father, so he can do whatever he wants. The Mirror Stone will help him accumulate soul power, so my husband only needs to focus on refining the Daoist Domain."

Ao Le looked at Yuan Lake, while Yuan Bi led 1,500 shrimp soldiers and crab generals to search outwards. Looking at Seal Mountain Island, Lan Feihu shouted to his armored soldiers to build formations to strengthen the Seal Mountain Island's defenses.

Thinking of Lu Qingfeng's cultivation, she said in a clear voice.

"Mirror Stone".

Lu Qingfeng reached into his robes and found six fist-sized jade stones, their surfaces polished smooth like bronze mirrors. However, they did not reflect Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le's figures or faces; instead, they revealed vibrant flowers blooming within them.

The flowers are vibrant and beautiful.

"It's a pity that my father was being hunted down for many years and only came to the Min River three hundred years ago. The Min River is vast and has no shortage of ordinary treasures and cultivation materials, but after all, his foundation is still shallow and his accumulation is insufficient. Treasures like the Mirror Stone are extremely rare."

Ao Le looked at the 'Mirror Stone' in Lu Qingfeng's hand and pointed to one with nine flowers inside. "However, all six of these Mirror Stones are 'Nine-Flower Mirror Stone,' one of which is equivalent to nine 'Single-Flower Mirror Stone.' With repeated use, it's enough for my husband to cultivate alone."

The Primordial World is countless, like the sands of the Ganges.

Lu Qingfeng has only experienced nine of the realms, and has not even fully appreciated the scenery and all things within them.

Each of these different fields has its own unique characteristics.

Some of the resources and products used in cultivation are rare or even extinct elsewhere.

Like Mirror Stone.

It is unique to the Immortal Qin Realm. Or rather, Lu Qingfeng had never seen such a rare object in the nine worlds he had previously experienced.

[Rare Object: Mirror Stone]

[Grade: Nine-Flower]

[Explanation: 'Flowers in a mirror, the moon in the water' are rare treasures bestowed by nature. These Mirror Stone are classified into nine grades, each containing pure soul power that can replenish and strengthen the soul.]

"Mirror Stone".

Compared to Spirit Stone, which replenish True Essence and Law Power, and strengthen True Essence and Law Power, Immortal Dao stones are essential for cultivators and are extremely precious.

The Mirror Stone is something that cultivators of the Nature Dao in the Immortal Qin Realm, and indeed all cultivators, dream of.

It has a similar effect to the Soul-Swaying Stone.

However, it is far more precious than the Soul-Swaying Stone, and Spirit Stone cannot compare to it at all.

"A Nine-Flower Mirror Stone, if its nine flowers are refined, is enough to save Soul Condensation Realm mage thirty to fifty years of arduous cultivation."

"Furthermore, if the Mirror Stone after the Nine Flowers have been refined is left to stand still for ten years, the Nine Flowers will regenerate."

"A continuous and inexhaustible source."

"A Nine-Flower Mirror Stone, even if placed in a mid-level Nature Dao Immortal Sect with a cultivator at the Third Realm, could become a treasured heirloom."

Lu Qingfeng reached out and smoothed Ao Le's hair, who was without makeup, and said with a smile, "Mirror Stone are precious, Nine-Flower Mirror Stone are even rarer in the world. There are many cultivators of the Nature Dao in the Dragon Palace, but there are still not enough Mirror Stone. My father has bestowed six Nine-Flower Mirror Stone upon me. If I am not satisfied, wouldn't I be greedy?"
