Chapter 587: Guessing and Analyzing
The sentence spoken by the Spirit Master let Yang Haoran gain two very important pieces of information.
Firstly, this Spirit Master's strength should be extremely powerful, as he was already preparing to break through to become a Great Spirit Master.
In the Spirit Master group, above the Spirit Master is the Great Spirit Master, and the Great Spirit Master is a kind of existence whose strength is equivalent to that of an Underworld Envoy who has opened the Heaven and Earth two souls in the Yin Division!
Here, the Underworld Envoy refers to the Burial Master who has opened the Heaven and Earth two souls, and also includes the Guardian who has opened the Heaven and Earth two souls.
In the Yin Division, even if the Underworld Envoy successfully opens the Heaven and Earth two souls, it's not certain that they can become a Guardian, because each great emperor has only nine Guardians under their command, which is a rule. Therefore, even if the Burial Master successfully opens the Heaven and Earth two souls, wanting to become a Guardian is extremely difficult, and both strength and luck are essential.
However, those who can become Guardians are all existences that have successfully opened the Heaven and Earth two souls.
The Great Spirit Master among the Spirit Masters is equivalent to an Underworld Envoy who has opened the Heaven and Earth two souls, and their strength is not something that Yang Haoran, who has only opened his heaven soul, can rival. He doesn't even know how powerful such an existence is!
The female ghost mentioned that the Spirit Master was preparing to break through to become a Great Spirit Master, and there are two possibilities here.
One possibility is that his strength has already reached the peak of a Spirit Master, and he's only one step away from becoming a Great Spirit Master, so he needs to prepare to break through the boundary, using other means to burst through the bottleneck and enter the realm of a Great Spirit Master.
The other possibility is that he's still far from reaching the peak of a Spirit Master and hasn't yet reached the level of breaking through, and what he calls "preparing to break through" is just a precaution, doing more preparation in advance to accelerate his strength growth and shorten the time it takes to reach the peak of a Spirit Master.It's like Deng Feng in the past, who was still far from opening his earth soul, but to shorten the distance, he used a secret technique to alter the Death Mark Seal and then implanted the tampered Death Mark Seal into the body of his Night Watch, wanting to achieve his goal through this method.
At that time, he was also preparing to open his earth soul, but it didn't mean that he had already reached the peak of his heaven soul. The Spirit Master mentioned by the female ghost might also be in a similar situation.
As for which of the two possibilities is true, Yang Haoran doesn't dare to make a rash judgment, and he needs to further confirm before making a reasonable judgment.
This is the first piece of information that Yang Haoran analyzed from the Spirit Master's sentence.
The second piece of information is related to the Burial Master of Yunchuan City who was captured alive.
Why did the other party want to capture the Burial Master of Yunchuan City alive, and why did they think that the Burial Master of Yunchuan City would be of great use to them in breaking through to become a Great Spirit Master? This involves the Yin spirit power within the Underworld Envoy's body!
The Yin spirit power within the Underworld Envoy's body is an excellent supplement for ghosts, equivalent to the status of a soul pill in the Underworld Envoy's mind. If the Guardian Spirit, which is a ghost, were to devour the Yin spirit power within the Underworld Envoy's body, then the Guardian Spirit's strength would also receive a corresponding boost.
Due to the special relationship between the Spirit Master and the Guardian Spirit, if the Guardian Spirit's strength increases, then the Spirit Master's strength would also increase correspondingly. Similarly, if the Spirit Master's strength increases, the Guardian Spirit's strength would also follow suit.
To a certain extent, once a Spirit Master signs a contract with a Guardian Spirit, their growth rate would be twice that of normal circumstances.
If this Spirit Master were to let his Guardian Spirit devour the Yin spirit power within the Burial Master of Yunchuan City's body, then his strength would definitely increase, and he would naturally take another step towards becoming a Great Spirit Master.
As for why the Burial Master of Yunchuan City has not died, it's definitely because the severe injuries he sustained during that great battle have depleted his Yin spirit power, and without the aid of a soul pill or other special means, it would take him a certain amount of time to fully recover his Yin spirit power. The spirit master wants to completely drain the Yin spirit power from the Burial Master of Yunchuan City, so it's necessary to give him time to slowly recover his Yin spirit power.
Whether the spirit master will drain his Yin spirit power a little at a time or wait until it's fully recovered before draining it, that's hard to say, and it depends entirely on the spirit master's interests.
But one thing is certain: once the Burial Master of Yunchuan City's Yin spirit power is completely drained, his time is up.
The Underworld Envoy's Yin spirit power can recover on its own after depletion, but if the Yin spirit power that hasn't been released is forcefully drained by a ghost, it won't recover on its own, and every bit drained will be lost; afterwards, if you want to make up for it, you can only use a soul pill or other objects containing pure Yin qi to regain the corresponding Yin spirit power.
Seeing Yang Haoran's thoughtful expression, the female ghost didn't dare to interrupt, and could only anxiously observe Yang Haoran, hoping to gain some beneficial information from his reaction.
However, Yang Haoran's expression, apart from being thoughtful, didn't reveal any other information, which made her feel very uncertain.
Under this anxious suspense, Yang Haoran finally spoke up.
"How many days has it been since you caught the Burial Master of Yunchuan City?" Yang Haoran asked.
"Four days," the female ghost replied quickly, without any hesitation this time.
She didn't care about revealing this insignificant information, so she didn't hesitate.
"Four days..." Yang Haoran muttered to himself, calculating the time in his mind.
Although they are both Burial Masters, the time it takes to fully recover their Yin spirit power after depletion varies greatly depending on their individual strength.
Usually, if you sit in meditation to deliberately recover your Yin spirit power, even without external aid, the speed would be much faster than natural recovery.
The Burial Master of Yunchuan City, since being captured by the spirit master, and knowing that the other party is after his Yin spirit power, would definitely not deliberately try to recover his Yin spirit power unless he's confident that he can escape once his Yin spirit power recovers quickly.
However, upon careful consideration, this possibility seems small, and if he really had a way to escape, how could he have been caught in the first place?
Moreover, the other party isn't foolish either; since they're determined to drain his Yin spirit power, they would definitely leave some measures on him to prevent him from recovering his strength and escaping.
So, in Yang Haoran's view, the Burial Master of Yunchuan City definitely won't deliberately try to recover his Yin spirit power, because only by doing so can he live longer. As long as he's still alive, he still has hope, no matter how slim, and if a miracle really happens to him, he might be able to regain his life.
Yang Haoran believes that the Burial Master of Yunchuan City won't be foolish enough to deliberately recover his Yin spirit power, but how long he can hold on, Yang Haoran can't know.
After all, he knows nothing about the Burial Master of Yunchuan City's strength, so he can't make an accurate judgment.
However, after a brief thought, he felt that wanting to know how long the Burial Master of Yunchuan City can hold on isn't entirely impossible, since the female ghost in front of him participated in the event that day, she should have some understanding of the Burial Master of Yunchuan City's strength.
From the female ghost's mouth, he can get a rough idea of the Burial Master of Yunchuan City's strength, and then use that to estimate how long he can hold on.
But compared to figuring out how long the Burial Master of Yunchuan City can hold on, what Yang Haoran is more concerned about right now is another matter.
That is, he needs to understand the strength of the spirit master mentioned by the female ghost, whether he has already reached the peak of a spirit master or still has a long way to go.
If it's the latter, that's fine; apart from being more cautious, he'll still do what he needs to do and try to gain as much benefit as possible from this trip.
But if it's the former, then things are troublesome; not only is he not planning to continue seeking benefits in Yunchuan City, but he'll also think of ways to leave first, because a spirit master of that level is not someone he can currently handle, and if he doesn't get any benefits but instead loses his life, that would be a bad deal.
