The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 850 - 476: The Hidden Protector

...

Although Yan Xiaobao only needed one ability, he wanted four people. If one of them required the cultivator to split their soul into two parts, then he might not use this ability. If possible, he did not want to weaken his soul. Splitting his soul and injuring himself before the battle with the Third Prince was not an option. He was still worried that the Third Prince might have a hidden protector, and if that protector was a Saint, then Yan Xiaobao would need all his strength. He could not let anyone hear this battle, so he needed to silently and quickly kill everyone.

While Yan Xiaobao was busy considering what to do, he already had all the storage stones in his palm, and they had all disappeared into the box.

Suddenly, a golden light shone from his palm, and the light revealed four scrolls. Before he sat down, he nodded gratefully at his palm to express his gratitude. With scrolls as the main focus, he concentrated fully on the four scrolls he held.

The first ability was called Soul Shaking Spirit Imprint. This spiritual imprint could replicate a person’s soul. This copy required a force of Wu Wei to move forward, as well as a body made of countless precious materials where the soul copy resided. The body made of these precious materials would move exactly as the original body desired, as long as it was powered by Wu Wei.

When one finished using this technique, due to the technique’s insufficient stress to destroy it, because it was formed from such valuable materials, the crafted body would be forgotten. One advantage of this skill is that after making another soul copy, people can always reuse this body.

Seeing this ability, Yan Xiaobao was curious whether he should choose it. Unfortunately, it required many precious materials, including many he had never heard of before. They could be materials that God lived or traveled through worlds, so Yan Xiaobao was forced to put it aside. Although this was a heavenly skill, he could not use it.

He sighed deeply, picked up the second scroll, and with focused eyes, looked to understand this ability. It was called Rebirth. It allowed the practitioner to split their soul in half and create a perceptive copy of their own. Although doing this would greatly harm a person’s soul, they would eventually spend centuries cultivating their soul back to normal. Healing one’s soul usually involves waiting for the soul to heal itself. Although this method takes a lot of time, often requiring hundreds of years. A lesser-known way is to consume other people’s souls. This is an unmatched technique, but consuming others’ souls and consequently stealing souls from the soul world is a crime that can be punished by death on this plane; it is an offense to heaven.

As an expert of the Upper Dantian, obtaining illegal souls was not difficult. However, the souls mainly came from the poorest people in the world. Before joining Yan Xiaobao, their lives were similar to those of Lao and Qiao. The thought that these two people might have their souls gathered and sold made him feel disgusted. He not only pitied these poor souls but also knew their souls were so weak that they had almost no effect when consumed.

"This is not an option," Yan Xiaobao thought to himself as he looked at the Rebirth ability once more before putting the scroll aside.

The third ability was called Soul Shadow Technology. It allowed a person to replicate their body. This agency was merely instinctive, and it was primarily a combat technique. Letting the body leave the Imperial Palace was not an option, so Yan Xiaobao sighed again as he also put it aside.

With only one ability left, Yan Xiaobao sighed deeply as he picked it up. This ability was called Soulshakers Art. It was very similar to the first ability; evidently, it originated from it. It required less wealth than the ability it was based on, but the moment the ability stopped working, the body would collapse, and the treasures would disappear forever.

Yan Xiaobao sighed, feeling a headache. "That Soulshaker Art needs fewer treasures isn’t important, because I don’t have them to start. If I could choose, I would choose the first ability, but I don’t have the required treasures. I don’t want to split my soul, and the last skill is an attack ability.

After thinking a bit, Yan Xiaobao could only sigh again. The only ability he could use was the one that required him to split his soul. "I guess we could purchase some souls and consume them. It’s too late to save the poor souls, I will kill the dreadful Third Prince with them." Yan Xiaobao argued, but he knew this would leave a bad taste in his mouth.

These souls are usually bought by Undead Wizards to enhance their soul shadow’s power. The soul shadow would consume weaker souls, thereby becoming stronger.

"I might be able to help." The Spirit suddenly said, startling Yan Xiaobao immensely. Before his consciousness entered his body and encountered the Spirit, he immediately sat down and closed his eyes.

"Senior Four, you said you might be able to help me?" Yan Xiaobao looked at the soul in front of him with hope. "My old master used the Soul Shaking Spirit Imprint and created a body from the required treasures. I still have this body, and before using that technique, it won’t appear in anyone’s form." The Spirit said. "You will be able to use the same body my old master used." He continued to explain, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a silver figure appeared before him.
