Chapter 159 (continued)

This is a double entendre, not only saying that Chaochao is very useful as a Prophet's sword spirit, but also saying that as long as you persevere, even Chaochao's "impotent rage" can bring unexpected gains.

They successfully returned to the transit point in Huaxia.

The person in charge of the teleportation array, who hadn't yet left work, asked in surprise, "You're back so soon?"

Li Yang immediately asked, "If we use a shorter teleportation time, can the teleportation fee be reduced?"

The person in charge chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll go apply for it and give you another 10% discount."

The original price was 100,000 merit points, but with a 10% discount, you save 10,000 merit points.

Ten thousand merit points are equivalent to one million Huaxia Currency in the Huaxia Realm Domain!

This is crucial funding for the development of the Agronomy Department; we must save where we can!

Jiang Yuqing: "..."

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]

You have to admit it, Sister Yang's money-loving persona is unshakeable!

Li Qingchen was also taken aback, and he couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Master Li dotes on you so much."

Although he is Li Yaowan's biological son, in truth, Li Yang is more like Li Yaowan's biological daughter.

Li Yang glared at them and said, "You don't understand!"

Li Qingchen is a typical second-generation rich kid, and an extremely wealthy one at that.

Although Jiang Yuqing is from a branch of the Jiang Family, the Jiang Family is one of the largest families in the Pill Department. Even as a branch, he is still a minor rich second-generation.

Unlike Li Yang... he's truly terrified of being poor!

It's estimated that apart from Li Yaowan, who also started from scratch, it would be difficult for others to empathize with Li Yang.

After arriving at the Huaxia Heavenly Palace with Chaochao and Naonao, Li Yang immediately headed to Li Yaowan's research institute.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingchen said, "I'll leave first!"

Li Yang replied, "Senior Brother Li, aren't you curious? This Neutralization Method concerns the fate of so many Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit."

Li Yang's words were like striking a snake at its vital point, firmly grasping Li Qingchen.

Li Qingchen has always been indifferent to money, but he is kind-hearted and will always help those in need.

After learning about the situation in the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain, he had already conceived the idea of saving the Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit.

Now, if Li Yang asks him a question, he can't walk anymore.

Li Yang looked at him with a smile and said, "Let's go together. If we can really develop a neutralizing potion, we'll have to trouble Senior Brother Li to make another trip to the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain."

Li Qingchen: "!"

When Li Yaowan was arguing the most, Li Qingchen swore to the heavens that he would never set foot in her research institute, her mansion, her company, or her department!

Now, under Li Yang's relentless barrage of questions, he inexplicably found himself entering Li Yaowan's research institute.

I want to see it!

I really want to see it!

He felt pity when he first learned of the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain's plight.

Upon arriving at the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain and seeing the adorable little Naonao hiding in the dark crevice, his heart clenched even more, and he became determined to save them from that inferno.

The neutralizing elixir is the most crucial step.

Although Li Qingchen and Li Yaowan have serious differences in values, they both recognize each other's abilities.

Especially Li Qingchen, in his heart, Li Yaowan was the most powerful alchemy Master, without exception.

Therefore, Li Yaowan will definitely be able to develop a neutralizing elixir!

There's no doubt about it...

He just wanted to witness that moment with his own eyes.

Li Yaowan glanced at Li Qingchen and was momentarily stunned, but she didn't say anything or give Li Qingchen any more attention. She only looked at Li Yang and asked, "You brought him back?"

Li Yang: "Mm!"

After saying that, she released Naonao out of the Noisy Pot.

Along with that came Chaochao.

Chaochao is a grayish-white spirit, more like the little ghost people imagine.

Naonao Nao is different; Naonao is a very beautiful pale yellow, and the bright color makes her look soft and cute.

Especially when Naonao speaks, it melts everyone's heart. "Hello, my name is Naonao."

Li Yaowan: "!"

She immediately beamed, her once sharp features softening, and her voice became gentle. "Don't worry, it's just a routine physical exam. I'll be done after a nap."

The seemingly sweet and adorable little Naonao bravely declared, "I'm not afraid! Even if you cut me into pieces, sew me back together bit by bit, blow me up like a balloon, and then squeeze me into a spirit stem, I'm not afraid, as long as you can find a way to neutralize it!"

She wasn't afraid anymore, which made everyone present a little scared.

Chaochao quickly said, "No, don't imagine such scary things. Li Yang and her teacher are both very proper Huaxia people. Huaxia people have great respect for intelligent beings from the Astral Realm!"

Naonao's voice grew even louder. "Huaxia people are so kind, I love Huaxia people!"

Her words made everyone present laugh.

Li Yang suddenly understood why Naonao was called Naonao.

This sweet and adorable little sword spirit is quite mischievous.

Li Yaowan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's completely painless and safe. You can just get a good night's sleep."

The inspection took quite a long time; it took the whole afternoon.

Li Yang and the other two did not leave, but waited in the research institute's reception room.

With their current level of cultivation, an afternoon can easily pass by by simply meditating.

Even if Li Yang has poor talent, he can meditate for an entire afternoon without any problem.

Anyway, she still has lifespan left, so she can just increase her Star Soul experience points later without giving herself away.

As soon as it got dark, Li Yaowan sent them a message: "Come and take a look."

The three of them jumped up and rushed to the research institute's examination room.

The little yellow Naonao was still asleep inside that expensive-looking, silver-white instrument.

In the Li Yaowan room, there was a row of monitors displaying various values and changes.

Despite Jiang Yuqing being Heavenly Fortune Bearer in the Pill Department and having reached the Fifth Grade Realm, these things in front of him were completely unfamiliar to him, leaving him utterly clueless.

He is a typical example of someone who only pursues a certain level of achievement while neglecting the development of other abilities.

The Pill Department is not just about opening a furnace to refine pills.

Those research institutes, costing billions of dollars, have extremely complex and sophisticated equipment, which is crucial to the long-term development of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

To fully understand it requires a significant investment of time and effort.

Li Qingchen could understand it, but because he hadn't been involved in the research institute's work for so long, he was a little confused.

Li Yaowan switched the display on the screen and summarized a report that an ordinary person could easily understand, saying, "The existence of sword spirits is very special, unlike most Astral Realm beings..."

She explained the situation of Blade & Soul to everyone in detail.

The reason for investigating so thoroughly is to avoid causing harm to it during the alchemy process.

The treatment methods differ drastically between different species.

If you don't have a full understanding of it, you can't use medicine arbitrarily. Otherwise, instead of neutralizing it, you might kill the little sword spirit.

What Li Yaowan said broadened their horizons.

Blade & Soul is indeed very special, even transcendent.

Ninety-nine percent of the Astral Realm beings have physical forms, and the cultivation system of the Star Wielders gradually progresses from physical to spiritual cultivation.

Shaping Star Soul is the most important step in spiritualization. Once Grandmaster is reached and the Star Wielders begins to condense their Origin Soul, they can even achieve the Origin Soul Leaving the Body.

However, even Ninth-Grade Supreme cannot survive solely as a soul after abandoning their physical body.

Those at the Divine Venerable Realm seem to possess such abilities, making them particularly difficult to kill.

Not only must their physical form be killed, but their Origin Soul, Star Soul, and even each of their Star Aperture must be completely destroyed one by one, otherwise there is a possibility of resurrection.

Sword spirits are certainly not comparable to the Divine Venerable Realm, but they are born as spiritual beings, a realm that countless Star Wielders dream of.

The reason why the sword spirit can sense the Star Weapon is because of their spiritual state.

Top-tier weapon-forging Grandmaster can also awaken the consciousness of Star Weapon, and they do so by using their own Origin Soul to guide them.

The ability that top-tier weapon-forging Grandmaster need to constantly cultivate to acquire, is something that the Prophet of Blade Spirit possesses naturally.

No wonder the Upper Three Realms kidnapped them all.

Cultivating a top-tier weapon-forging Master is exceptionally difficult, even for the Upper Three Realms.

However, this Sword Spirit Boundary Domain contains hundreds of thousands, even millions, of weapon-forging Grandmaster. Such terrifying combat resources will inevitably be divided up by the Upper Three Realms.

Li Yaowan continued, "Although I don't know much about the other sword spirits, the reason this Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit was able to disrupt the Star Weapon is because of their natural spiritual characteristics."

Hearing this, Li Yang's heart sank.

Chaochao's originally brighter grayish-white soul form gradually dimmed.

If Nao Nao's natural spiritual characteristics are neutralized, Naonao will happen to him.

This is similar to how humans release carbon dioxide into the air through respiration; if you wanted humans to stop releasing carbon dioxide, they wouldn't be able to breathe.

How... how can I live like this!

Li Yaowan continued, "I don't recommend using potions to neutralize the spirit's characteristics, as this will definitely harm the Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit, but... we can help her create a physical form."

All three were taken aback, stunned by Li Yaowan's wild imagination.

Only Chaochao was completely bewildered. "What does 'a physical entity' mean?"

Li Yaowan said, "It's like the clothes we wear."

Chaochao: "!!!"

He immediately turned around and looked at Li Qingchen.

Li Qingchen was dressed in a monk's robe and draped in a kasaya, which was a defensive armor and looked quite beautiful with its golden light.

Clearly, Chaochao had long coveted this robe, but as a spirit, he simply didn't need to wear clothes.

Li Yaowan: "Once you have a physical form, your spiritual characteristics will be blocked, allowing you to move freely without worrying about interfering with the Star Weapon."
