I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life-Chapter 210 - 110: True Flame Hundred Forgings

A year later,

Li Jizhou sat on the four layers of Nether Flame, completely naked, allowing the black Nether Flame to temper his body.

On that day, Li Jizhou spent half a month, using half of the unlimited vitality in the annual cycle to dispel the death aura from Ye Jingyu’s wound, after which Ye Jingyu began forging his body anew deep within the seven layers of the rootless flame.

Then, Li Jizhou stayed in place to gain insights into "True Flame Hundred Forgings,"

Yet, the magical power in Li Jizhou’s Dantian, refined and stored through eighty-four cycles, was no less than the magic power forged by "True Flame Hundred Forgings," yielding little improvement in Li Jizhou’s magical power before the fiftieth forging.

But the improvement to the physical body was significant.

When Li Jizhou first arrived in the Yan Kingdom, the fourth layer of "Spiritual Sand Body Refining Skill" was nearly perfect, comparable to the mana shield at the Early Stage of Core Formation. However, Melted Spirit Sand was hard to find and had not improved in the following years.

But "True Flame Hundred Forgings" was able to further refine his body, which had already reached the fourth layer of body refining.

It was then that Li Jizhou realized that the body refining method, which was only available for the Saint Heir at the Central Domain Sacred Land in his past life, was incomplete and must have corresponding complementary methods.

With this method of body refining, while the body refining realm was increasing, the actual power might only be one-tenth or one-twentieth of the complete method.

Now, "True Flame Hundred Forgings" was elevating its power to the original level.

Over a year, Li Jizhou advanced his physical body to the fifth forging level, significantly enhancing it, doubling the improvement on the basis of the original Fourth Layer of body refining.

Now his physical body was comparable to the mana shield at the Middle Stage of Core Formation.

Additionally, Li Jizhou tried to refine his life-bound magical treasure as the senior Hundred Fools Daoist Venerable did.

Unfortunately, his life-bound magical treasure was still too fragile to withstand the flame.

It would probably take another sixty years of nurturing, and reaching the level of a Spiritual Artifact to succeed.

Within this year, Bai Yi had roamed freely, swimming gracefully through the endless Fire Domain.

Yet, Li Jizhou only allowed it to wander within his field of vision.

The Fire Domain was mysterious. Without understanding its origins and outcomes, Li Jizhou did not want Bai Yi to take risks.

As for Guagua, he was pitiful.

As a Tier Three Early Stage demon beast, even at the Half-step Golden Core level, he could hardly stay ten breaths within the four layers of Nether Flame.

Ultimately, he had to hide in the Spirit Pet Bag.

That day, Li Jizhou suddenly sensed a movement in his life cycle and quietly called Bai Yi back, putting up a Mana Shield and donning his robe.

"Brother Li, I shall remember your favor of rebuilding me in my heart!" Ye Jingyu came out from the seven layers of rootless flame, his body reforged, and solemnly bowed to Li Jizhou.

Li Jizhou waved his hand with a smile, "Master Ye protects the common people. I admire you greatly and there’s no need to say more."

Ye Jingyu gave Li Jizhou a deep look and did not dwell on this topic,

then added, "Today, I also thank you on behalf of my late wife Yutong for the favor of saving her back then!"

Hearing this, Li Jizhou paused slightly.

Yang Yutong was six years younger than him, and when Master Qingmu searched her soul, causing her Divine Sense to shatter, although he later healed her, she could not cultivate for a long time. Her body’s magical power dried up, ruining her foundation, and she should have died early as a result.

"When did it happen?"

"Ten years ago!"

Li Jizhou looked at Ye Jingyu and secretly nodded.

It seemed that after returning to the Yang family following the Blood Fiend, Ye Jingyu had helped extend Yang Yutong’s life considerably, amazingly living into her eighties.

And calling her his late wife...

It showed sincerity and truthfulness, no less intense than his feelings in his past life.

And the pain within must be several times more deeply entrenched than in his own past life.

In his past life, he and his beloved walked the same path, eventually achieving Foundation Establishment while she did not.

He watched her beauty fade, powerless against the inevitable decay of time.

Ye Jingyu, however, faced even more. Yang Yutong suffered because of him, harmed by a former mentor, ultimately ending her path, dying early.

"If she could reincarnate like me, would she still venture into love again in her second life?"

Li Jizhou estimated that she probably would not!

This life, this world, it would never happen again!

"Wu Daniu did not make it past the Blood Evil Stage!" Ye Jingyu added, for Yang Yutong had told him that Wu Daniu from the Yang family was quite close to Li Jizhou.

Hearing this, Li Jizhou nodded slightly, having expected it.

"Brother Li, please wait. Once I finish off those aiding the wicked outside, you may leave." Over the past year, while healing, Ye Jingyu also paid attention to the western battlefield.

A year ago, the originally balanced battlefield had suddenly tipped, with the Wuxiang Sect retreating frequently, even once withdrawing deep into the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp.

This left Ye Jingyu burning with anxiety.

The Demon Sect was deeply rooted, and with the Commerce Alliance ahead, seeking to overthrow it wasn’t a task for any one person.

The Wuxiang Sect was now the only force capable of confronting the Commerce Alliance head-on.

Yet, sects like the Profound Celestial Sect and Carefree Palace, capable of resisting the Commerce Alliance, remained silent, refusing to act, and even labeled his warnings of the Southern Domain disaster as false alarms.

So, he could only do his utmost to alleviate the pressure on the Wuxiang Sect.

Raiding the Commerce Alliance’s rear to distract their high-tier forces was all he could do.

With that said, Ye Jingyu’s figure transformed into a stream of fire, shooting towards the Commerce Alliance men encircling him outside.

This time, Li Jizhou finally witnessed Ye Jingyu’s method.

Typically, cultivators engaged in magical combat by casting spells or wielding magic artifacts, whereas Ye Jingyu integrated his body with a magical artifact, unleashing strong attacks.

This method had the greatest power but also the highest self-harm risk.

His magical artifact was a golden long sword, and compared to Li Jizhou’s own life-bound magical treasure, its emitted power was likely at least that of a tier two Spiritual Treasure,

similar to the weapon that the Commerce Alliance sold to opponents of the Golden Sun Sect, which ultimately overwhelmed the Late Stage Golden Core Supreme Elder of the Golden Sun Sect.

The difference being one was a growable life-bound Spiritual Treasure, the other a fixed-tier Spiritual Treasure.

Li Jizhou speculated that this golden sword should be the life-bound Spiritual Treasure left by the Hundred Fools Daoist Venerable.

Over the long years, its True Spirit must have suffered damage.

Ye Jingyu could almost instantly annihilate the Middle Stage of Core Formation cultivator outside with his reverse-slaying Late Stage Core Formation power.

"Old Demon Ye! You are still alive!" The next moment, the other three Commerce Alliance cultivators besieging Ye Jingyu rapidly gathered.

Seeing Ye Jingyu’s fully recovered body, they were all shocked.

Yet, Ye Jingyu said nothing more, exuding a murderous aura, killing anyone who blocked him, even if it was a Buddha.

But those three were all Middle Stage Core Formation cultivators, now on guard, and Ye Jingyu could not easily get the upper hand.

Though his attack power was substantial, defense was his weak point. He could launch a surprise counterattack, but if the opponents were prepared and joined forces, he couldn’t triumph quickly.

Li Jizhou sneaked to the edge of the first layer of the Fire Domain, seeing Ye Jingyu having a hard time prevailing quickly, he shot out a Tier Three Middle Level Ice Soul Talisman.

The trio, focused entirely on Ye Jingyu, were unprepared for the sudden Ice Soul Talisman, almost immediately getting trapped in ice, their motions sluggish and actions delayed.

Ye Jingyu, forewarned by Li Jizhou’s transmission, turned away just as it happened, leaving the Ice Soul Talisman zone.

Seeing their stalled forms, he launched another fierce attack.

Like cutting through vegetables!

Mere moments later, all three faced death and oblivion.

Ye Jingyu then picked up the four’s storage bags and handed them all to Li Jizhou.

"To settle what I owe for the Celestial Thunder Talisman and Teleportation Talisman earlier."

Li Jizhou accepted without declining, checking the storage bags and recovering his losses from being chased by the Golden Corpse a year prior.

"The extra Spirit Stones can be for buying another Talisman from me!" He then handed Ye Jingyu two Quasi-Fourth Tier Celestial Thunder Talismans.

Upon receiving the Talismans, Ye Jingyu’s expression changed sharply, gazing at Li Jizhou in shock.

The Quasi-Fourth Tier Celestial Thunder Talismans could already threaten Golden Corpses of Dao Formation.

Eight years ago, he had already been admiring of Li Jizhou’s Talisman craft when he bought five Tier Three Advanced Level Celestial Thunder Talismans to destroy three Golden Corpses nourished within a Spirit Vein in the Southern Domain.

What he didn’t know was that among the items in Li Jizhou’s storage bag was another Quasi-Fourth Tier Celestial Thunder Talisman, whose power was slightly greater than the two given to him.
