Chapter 2432: Chapter 2435: Refining the Sword Soul Stone: Shen Dian’s Manifestation

Although the saying "Three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang" is a bit exaggerated, it expresses the idea of strength in numbers.

Ling Xiao cannot always fight alone.

He wants the Shen Dian to become powerful as well.

At the very least, it can help him deal with strong enemies at crucial moments.

There used to be the Moon Lady protecting him on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, Divine Phoenix Continent, and White Tiger Continent.

Now that the Moon Lady is gone, he must create a powerful backing for himself.

He completely shielded a five-square-meter area around himself, trying to ensure Lin Yang and Qing Luan Hua weren’t aware of the Shen Dian’s matters.

However, he doesn’t want to drive those two away.

After all, he has set up a special array formation within his wooden cabin, making the cultivation more effective than outside.

With this small array formation shielding, it’s no different from an isolated space.

"Master, are you really planning to give me this Sword Soul Stone?"

At this moment, Shen Dian’s soul was slightly unsettled.

For her, the Sword Soul Stone was as precious as life.

With the Sword Soul Stone, she could gradually restore her physical body and eventually fully resurrect.

Moreover, the value of this item is extremely high, is Ling Xiao really giving it to her for free?

She really couldn’t believe it.

"I said I’ll give it to you, naturally I will. But it’s not without conditions. You know, on the martial arts path of cultivation in the Mysterious World, there are countless enemies, and we might encounter terrifying opponents.

So, I hope you can help me when I need you to take action, how about it?"

Ling Xiao was essentially investing in finding a powerful protector for himself.

He could sense that Shen Dian might be much stronger than him.

"No problem, of course, there’s no problem. It’s just protecting you, master. Not only that, but once your cultivation reaches a certain level, I’ll teach you more powerful secret techniques."

Shen Dian said excitedly.

Her full name is Secret Art God Scripture. Honestly, Ling Xiao doesn’t know what this name actually represents.

But he understands that this girl probably knows many secret techniques.

"Let’s talk about that later. You use the Sword Soul Stone first, and I’ll protect you."

Ling Xiao said.

"Okay!"

Shen Dian also was straightforward: "Master, you just need to place the Secret Technique Sword and the Sword Soul Stone together."

Ling Xiao nodded, then put the two items together while he moved to the side, ready to assist Shen Dian in refining the Sword Soul Stone at any moment.

After all, Shen Dian was just a soul object now, whether she could refine that Sword Soul Stone was uncertain.

Shen Dian began to refine the Sword Soul Stone.

At the moment her Soul Power touched the Sword Soul Stone, countless terrifying Sword Light were released, all formed by condensed souls.

In that instant, Shen Dian’s soul let out a scream of pain, suffering immeasurably.

Ling Xiao just stared at this scene, watching worriedly.

The relationship between him and Shen Dian was more like friends than master and servant.

Shen Dian, this girl, is actually quite simple. As long as you treat her well, she’ll follow you loyally.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this, this little girl is especially easy to be deceived.

I suppose she ended up like this because she was too naive.

In the future, he has to teach this girl well; she can’t be too naive. Not everyone is willing to sincerely treat friends like him.

His Soul Core detached and rushed into the Secret Technique Sword where the live broadcast was taking place, starting to help Shen Dian resist the terrifying Sword Qi.

"Master, thank you so much. Without you, I’d be done for. I never expected the Sword Soul Stone to be so frightening. I originally thought it could help me, but didn’t foresee that the better the item, the greater the danger."

Shen Dian was really scared because if something went wrong, she could lose her life right here.

That would be tragic.

"No more talking, focus on refining the Sword Soul Stone. I’ll block those Sword Qi for you."

Ling Xiao acquired the technique of his Soul Core’s emergence from the Soul Fragment Scroll he practiced.

He gained a great deal of benefit from that scroll, especially his Soul Power becoming incredibly strong.

He can even emerge his Soul Core; until now, he hasn’t seen anyone else use this technique.

This is his advantage.

He uses his Soul Core to fend off the Sword Qi released by the Sword Soul Stone.

Helping Shen Dian refine the Sword Soul Stone, he unexpectedly discovers that these Sword Qi actually enhance his Soul Power.

Especially the enhancement effect on Sword Intent is tremendously significant.

This can make any of his sword techniques particularly stronger at the same level compared to others.

"Never thought helping someone could yield such great benefits, truly unexpected."

Ling Xiao chuckled and continued assisting.

As time passed, he could clearly sense that Shen Dian’s soul was strengthening.

And Shen Dian’s form became increasingly clear.

This indicates that the Sword Soul Stone truly played an extremely significant role for Shen Dian.

In terms of medicinal material rankings, this Sword Soul Stone might have already reached top-level rank.

The four grades of pills and medicinal materials are Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow, and Ling Xiao currently can only refine initial and intermediate-level Mysterious rank pills.

Then there are advanced and top-level grades.

The Sword Soul Stone is indeed a rare treasure.

No wonder its value is so high, four billion Low-grade Spirit Stones weren’t enough, and it requires agreeing to do three things for the sect.

Outside the window, it seemed to have reached night.

The sound of crickets could be heard.

And Shen Dian’s refinement of the Sword Soul Stone had already lasted for six hours.

Since the Sword Qi had dissipated, Ling Xiao returned his Soul Core to its place.

At this moment, he noticed a figure emerging from the Secret Technique Sword.

Golden yellow long hair, sky-blue eyes, very fair and smooth skin, albeit slightly ethereal.

Ling Xiao knew, this was merely a phantom condensed by soul, not a physical form.

Yet being able to condense into a human shape indicated the Sword Soul Stone indeed had an effect, something Shen Dian couldn’t do previously.

"Congratulations, Shen Dian!"

Ling Xiao gazed at Shen Dian. She indeed was an exceptional beauty, although he only loves the Moon Lady in this life.

But this doesn’t prevent him from appreciating Shen Dian’s beauty.

Especially this unique beauty which has an exotic charm distinctly different from that of the Moon Lady.

"I can’t understand who would be cruel enough to harm such a beautiful and naive girl."

Ling Xiao sighed but suddenly felt a powerful aura rushing towards him.

He was startled.

It was Shen Dian!

"Master, did you notice my anomaly?"

Shen Dian asked with a smile.

"Hmm, you seem to have recovered some of your past strength. It seems like you’re stronger than me."

Ling Xiao nodded, he quickly calmed down.

"Master indeed has sharp eyes. With my current strength, I can withstand a warrior of Hell Early Stage Cultivation in the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Sixth Layer Hell for a while."

Shen Dian said excitedly, "In this Eight Immortals Mountain, with me here, no one can bully you anymore."

She was thrilled; the excitement wasn’t solely because her strength had recovered significantly.

More importantly, she could assist Ling Xiao now.
