I had already ascended to heaven when the spiritual energy began to recover?

Chapter 67 She's Different! The Heavenly River Secret Realm

"The opening time of this secret realm is uncertain, but is there absolutely no pattern to it?" Bai Sheng asked.

"That's right, even if there are certain patterns, it's not something I can know," Jiang Xuelan explained frankly.

"After all, the fewer people who know about the opportunities in the secret realm, the better. Nobody wants outsiders to get a share of the pie, right?"

Just as Bai Sheng was pondering, Jiang Xuelan said again:

"However, although no one told me, I did conduct related research."

Bai Sheng was taken aback.

Surprisingly, this guy has quite a knack for research.

He really is a promising academic talent.

"According to the practice of Qi cultivators in calculating the timing of the seasons, the starting time is usually the exact point in the cycle of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches."

For example, the beginning of spring and the summer solstice, or a specific new moon and full moon day.

If there's a change of seasons recently, it might be the time for the secret realm to open.

Bai Sheng thought about it for a moment.

"The nearest solar term is White Dew, which is about two weeks away."

I glanced at the calendar on my phone while at home.

I've already made up my mind; no matter when the secret realm opens,

Or it might not be turned on at all.

He needed to use this time to scout out the location before the secret realm opened.

If the changing of seasons and the alternation of solar terms can lead to the opening of secret realms.

Could this be understood as, when significant changes occur in the universe,

Could the secret realm be opened?

The biggest variable is the day when spiritual energy is restored, isn't it?

It's a popular spot for online influencers, so be it.

In any case, having many tourists makes it easier to take advantage of the situation.

With this in mind, Bai Sheng faced another problem.

Should we kill Jiang Xuelan or not?

You should know that after these souls are shattered and refined, they are the best food to feed the Soul-Capturing Instruction.

Especially the powerful souls of Qi cultivators from the pre-Qin period.

If the refining is successful, it will surely be able to break through more than one restriction.

But...she's different!

Jiang Xuelan was, after all, a genuine Qi cultivator from the pre-Qin period.

Having lived for over two thousand years, his knowledge alone surpasses that of all other living cultivators of this era.

Of course, this is not a reason for Bai Sheng not to kill her.

More importantly, she is a research talent!

In the primitive era before the Qin Dynasty, when even cultivation systems were not yet fully developed, it was possible to achieve this.

He figured out the Corpse Dissolution Technique and the Sealing Array on his own.

This academic ability would be considered top-tier scientific research talent today.

He doesn't seem to lack cultivation techniques or resources.

After such a long period of practice, Bai Sheng has already summarized it.

What he lacks most right now is...

It's the kind of person who can help him analyze problems and devise solutions.

Bai Sheng made up his mind to temporarily refrain from refining Jiang Xuelan.

He re-engaged his consciousness into the cave of bones and walked up to the dark red mist.

After the conversation just now

Jiang Xuelan seemed to have calmed down considerably.

The edges of the fog no longer crumble into fragments.

That extremely tiny purple light spot was also much more stable than before.

Obviously,

Her soul is gradually stabilizing, and it seems that everything is alright now.

Inside the Palace of Bones, Bai Sheng could sense Jiang Xuelan's presence.

You can also vaguely sense what he's doing.

She was thinking...

She seemed to be studying the space she was in.

Bai Sheng looked at her, and she looked at Bai Sheng.

Ok,

I really don't want to kill you.

But you can't live so comfortably!

So you've started doing research?

Bai Sheng suddenly raised his right hand.

The purple light of the Soul-Capturing Induction shone brightly.

A sharp purple arc of electricity shot out from his palm.

It pierced right into the center of that dark red mist.

"what!"

A scream came from inside the fog.

That was Jiang Xuelan's voice, which quickly disappeared.

The purple light flickered violently twice.

Then the entire cloud of mist surged rapidly.

The tiny purple light at its core was forcibly peeled away from the depths of the mist by the electric arc.

It hovered in mid-air, trembling incessantly.

Bai Sheng made his move without any expression.

The purple light of the Soul-Capturing spell enveloped the mist, excluding the purple light spots.

It was like melted wax being sucked into the snake's bones.

The brightness of the snake's purple light instantly jumped to a whole new level!

Jiang Xuelan's main remnant soul lay limply in the corner of the bone wall.

The purple light became extremely dim, but it was still flickering faintly and had not gone out.

Bai Sheng sensed the aura within the purple light spots.

Ok,

Basically, he was in a coma or deep sleep.

This is a good condition.

It's neither dead nor alive.

True wisdom lies in its profound, albeit often elusive, quality.

Thinking about this, Bai Sheng wondered if his current state made him look too much like a villain.

But he quickly dismissed this absurd idea.

No, no!

How could I possibly be the villain?

The great formation set up by this woman has harmed countless innocent people!

What did those workers who died on the construction site do wrong?

Bai Sheng quickly updated his thoughts.

The so-called cultivation of a family cannot be measured by the perspective of human good and evil.

therefore,

Bai Sheng decided that if he had the chance, he must find a martial arts technique.

Transform this woman into a puppet!

As for now...

Let her remain in a coma.

We can't give him too much time to think.

Bai Sheng was actually overthinking things.

After all, once a remnant soul enters the Soul-Capturing Spell and harbors thoughts of resistance,

They will be suppressed by the soul-capturing artifact and unable to resist.

In theory, any disrespectful thought she has will result in a corresponding phenomenon.

However, Bai Sheng still felt it was better to be more cautious with such research-oriented talents.

As Jiang Xuelan lost consciousness, the purple light slowly materialized into a concrete human figure.

The figure of a woman!

Lie on your side on the bone wall,

Wearing a dark-colored, curved-hem robe typical of the pre-Qin era,

The cuffs were wide, the collar overlapped, and a minimalist red silk sash was tied around the waist.

Her features were delicate and refined, with naturally red lips that were slightly pursed.

Her face was very young; she looked to be no more than twenty years old.

However, Bai Sheng knew very well that it was difficult to judge the lifespan of a cultivator by their appearance.

I moved a little closer and took a good look at the true appearance of this pre-Qin Qi cultivator.

She wasn't the kind of stunning beauty that could topple kingdoms, but she possessed a very special charm.

Cool and restrained...

Bai Sheng leaned back on the sofa.

I also studied the secret realm that Jiang Xuelan mentioned.

Located in the southwest of Cangshi County,

Woniu Mountain, stone wall and pool,

These descriptions perfectly matched the popular photo spots in Cangshi Secret Realm that he had previously found online!

A group of tourists walk around the entrance to the secret realm every day, completely unaware that a secret realm that only opens once every three thousand years is buried beneath their feet.

Bai Sheng decided to send a clone to check the situation first.

Although it's highly likely we'll gain nothing.

But what if?

……

Bai Sheng's female clone traveled southwest along the county road of Cangshi County.

Passing through a dense forest,

They quickly found the popular photo spot that had been photographed countless times online.

Woniu Mountain is not very high.

The mountain's shape does indeed resemble a cow lying on the ground, and at its foot lies a natural stone wall.

Below the stone wall was a pool of emerald green water.

The female clone glanced at it.

Several young women were taking selfies in front of the stone wall.

He sent his clone to the stone wall, where he discovered some writing on it.

Take a close look at the inscription.

Suddenly a line of small black text popped up in front of me.
