Chapter 397: Chapter 397 Devouring

Wu Cheng, seeing Li Xiaoyao about to enter the hill, hurriedly called out to stop him, “Senior, you must not.”

“And why not?” Li Xiaoyao asked. “In this vast world, I go wherever I desire, and no one has yet to stop me.”

Wu Cheng lowered his head, not daring to meet Li Xiaoyao’s gaze, “This is the tomb of the first Valley Master of Medicine God Valley. I hope the senior will show some respect.”

Li Xiaoyao looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly said, “You may step back.”

Wu Cheng locked eyes with him, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately, he just heaved a sigh and turned to leave.

After he left, without the slightest hesitation, Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and walked into the cave entrance.

If there really were medicinal materials inside that could cure the soul, even if it meant disrespecting the ancestors, Li Xiaoyao did not care. Besides, the owner of this tomb chamber was not his elder.

Nie Xiaoqian walked shoulder to shoulder with Li Xiaoyao. Having walked about twenty meters into the cave, Nie Xiaoqian suddenly said, “Young Master, be careful. I can sense that the power of soul energy is getting stronger as we approach.”

“Mm, I feel it too,” Li Xiaoyao said gravely, nodding his head.

Upon entering the cave, the soul power became ever clearer, and Li Xiaoyao could distinctly feel its strength.

Turning a corner, their view suddenly expanded; the inside of the hill was almost hollowed out, at least thirty meters high, and surrounded by a vast space of thousands of square meters.

The smooth ground was engraved with a strange formation, ancient in design, each line etched deeply into the surface.

And in the center of the formation lay a square stone, two meters in length and half a meter wide.

Only when he drew closer did Li Xiaoyao realize that this was a coffin made of a completely hollowed-out stone.

Inside the coffin lay a skeleton, and within the skull of the skeleton, a green oily light flickered and pulsated.

Next to the skull, there grew a medicinal herb within the stone coffin, as thick as a baby’s arm and half a meter in length, jade green in color and accompanied by a strange fragrance.

“This is!” Li Xiaoyao stared intently at the medicinal herb, excitement apparent as he exclaimed, “This is Spirit Condensation Jade.”

The light within the skull seemingly sensed someone approaching and flew out, hovering in front of Li Xiaoyao.

“After so many years, I’ve finally waited for a strong body.”

The eerie voice arose abruptly from the depths of Li Xiaoyao’s sea of consciousness. Before Li Xiaoyao could react, the green oily light fiercely plunged into his head.@@novelbin@@

Seeing this happen, Nie Xiaoqian was too late to stop it and could only watch as Li Xiaoyao’s eyes rolled back and he fell backward.

Nie Xiaoqian quickly caught him, softly calling, “Young Master, Young Master…”

…

Inside his sea of consciousness, a man with an ethereal body stood on a stone bridge, looking down at the flowing water below, at the distant grass and blue sky, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud with pride.

“Who would have thought that the cultivator I’d wait for this time not only has a strong body but an even stronger sea of consciousness?”

Just then, Li Xiaoyao suddenly appeared in front of the man, hands in pockets, and gave him a nonchalant look, saying, “You must be the first Valley Master of Medicine God Valley?”

The man was startled by the unexpected appearance of Li Xiaoyao, and upon recognizing his face, he stepped back several times, with an expression of disbelief, and said, “You’re still alive!”

Li Xiaoyao squeezed out a cold chuckle, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m very much alive.”

The man squinted his eyes, his face emanating a chilling gleam, as he stared at Li Xiaoyao and said, “But you will die soon.”

“Is that so?” Li Xiaoyao laughed dryly, “I don’t know what gave you such great confidence, but you seem to have overlooked one thing—this is my territory, and it’s not your place to run wild here.”

“Your territory?” The man looked around, Li Xiaoyao’s entirely complete and powerful sea of consciousness seemed to him like a vision of his future achievements.

“Not for long,” the man’s voice was about to fall, his hand raised slightly, trembling, and a phantom handprint pressed towards Li Xiaoyao’s head.

This handprint was entirely condensed from Soul Power and only affected the soul of a person without any impact on the physical body.

The man was confident that Li Xiaoyao could not possibly withstand this strike of his, having survived for hundreds of years in a soul state just to research this soul attack technique. He believed that not even a cultivator several realms stronger than him could fight against soul attacks.

“Hmm? Is this a soul attack?” Watching the handprint coming toward him, Li Xiaoyao was slightly surprised, not expecting this man to know such an advanced soul attack technique.

“Stop!” Li Xiaoyao shouted softly, and the handprint, condensed from Soul Power, immediately came to a halt, hovering half a foot in front of him before slowly dissipating.

Disbelief etched on his face, the man thought he was seeing things. As he raised his hand to continue the attack, a power that caused his soul to tremble uncontrollably surrounded and immobilized him.

“Soul Power!” the man exclaimed in shock, “How could you possibly possess such strong Soul Power?”

Li Xiaoyao’s Soul Power was so formidable that after he had immobilized the man, he walked slowly to his side, his gaze flickering as he said, “Soul Power is indeed mighty. If I were to absorb you, my cultivation level is sure to ascend another step.”

To the man’s horror, upon hearing Li Xiaoyao’s words, he instantly pleaded, “Don’t kill me, I can give you treasures.”

“Treasures? What treasures?” To the Li Xiaoyao at this moment, there really weren’t any treasures that could catch his eye.

“I am the first Valley Master of Medicine God Valley, and I can give the Medicine God Valley to you.” As long as he could save his life, the man was willing to do anything, even if it meant servitude.

Expecting Li Xiaoyao to be tempted, he was instead met with a head shake, “Medicine God Valley is of little consequence to me.”

“I have cultivation methods and martial techniques, as well as the Fire Control Technique. I will give them all to you if you free me.”

Li Xiaoyao said, “Die like a strong man, and keep some dignity for yourself.”

The last sliver of hope in the man’s heart crumbled, realizing that Li Xiaoyao truly intended to kill him.

“Since you wanted to seize my body, you should have been prepared to be killed by me,” Li Xiaoyao extended his right hand, pressed it against the man’s head, opened his mouth and took a breath, and the man in a soul state transformed into a wisp of soul, entering Li Xiaoyao’s mouth.

“Gulp~ Burp~”

After belching contentedly, Li Xiaoyao patted his stomach and immediately sat down cross-legged, “Soul Power is indeed powerful. If I refine it, my cultivation is likely to advance considerably.”

In the cave, Nie Xiaoqian looked at Li Xiaoyao with his eyes tightly shut, full of worry in her heart.

She couldn’t know the current situation of Li Xiaoyao, but judging by his body’s reactions, he was still alive.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of energy erupted from Li Xiaoyao’s body, surprising Nie Xiaoqian, who quickly stood up and stepped back.
