Chapter 632 206 Heroine Yan: Don't Overthink, I'm Just Helping You Combine Pills and Form Nascent Soul
The Five Elements are gathered, and by integrating this Mechanism Creation Technique...
It's like having an illusion of controlling everything in the world...
Wang Mu took a deep breath. This illusion was very subtle.
To see the universal in the particular, such a simple form could vastly amplify its function with just a slight, more complex change.
If this strand of Green Leaf were transformed into even higher-grade materials... the consumption would be even greater...
Wang Mu pondered for a moment.
He took another strand of Green Leaf and held it in his hand, squinting his eyes slightly as he constructed a piece of Red Jade in his Sea of Consciousness.
Thousand-year-old Red Jade was one of the rarest materials found in the mines of Anle Village and could be used to forge Taoist Level Immortal Swords.
Compared to such a material, this strand of Green Leaf was vastly inferior.
The next moment, the Creation Golden Core in his body rapidly burst with five-colored light, enveloping the Green Leaf entirely as the Five-Colored Divine Gold coated its surface.
At the same time, the other four Golden Cores began to spin uncontrollably, flying into his Sea of Consciousness. They released Golden Core Power equal to that of the Creation Golden Core, forming a union with it, as if they were one entity.
Gradually, the Green Leaf transformed into a five-colored light, then slowly changed into a rice-grain-sized, red, jade-like substance.
After a long time, just as Wang Mu began to feel somewhat depleted internally, a flash of red brilliance flickered and vanished.
"Success?" Wang Mu sucked in a breath of cool air.
It actually worked.
However, the transformation yielded a very small amount; the rice-grain-sized piece of Thousand-year-old Red Jade was essentially useless.
To forge a Flying Sword, a much larger piece would be required. Moreover, the toll on his own body was not insignificant.
But... if I could replenish my energy... and keep transforming like this... even the rarest materials could accumulate over time...
Perhaps in a year... I could transform a whole piece?
Wang Mu considered this.
The difference in grades was too large, so such a transformation naturally took a great toll on him.
Moreover, he could only perform this transformation because his Five Elements were complete and gathered.
For other disciples of the Skyline Sect who had cultivated a Creation Golden Core, forget about Taoist Level materials; even transforming Middle and Lower Grade materials would be very taxing. They wouldn't be able to transform Taoist materials at all.
That's about enough; a little experiment will suffice...
Wang Mu leaped down from the Cloud Sea.
Arriving beneath the Cloud Sea once more, Wang Mu saw the familiar Cloud Sea pond.
By the pond, Heroine Yan sat alone, fishing with her eyes closed, as still as tranquil water. She didn't move the rod, her aura completely sealed, making her resemble a scarecrow.
It seemed less like she was fishing and more like she was waiting for the fish to hook themselves.
Wang Mu watched for a while, finding it amusing.
For Heroine Yan, fishing seemed to be merely a way to cultivate her character and nurture her spirit.
What she cultivated was a sense of tranquility.
Fishing itself was not the pleasure she sought.
"How will the fish ever bite if you fish like this?" Wang Mu walked over and asked, standing behind her.
Today, Heroine Yan wore a light blue, plain dress with a cloud-ink colored sash around her waist. Her hair was lightly tied up in a high topknot, with two strands of Emotional Threads drifting softly from her forehead, along the corners of her eyes, and down her cheeks, occasionally brushing her waist.
A high-necked, pale white outer garment covered most of her neck.
Unlike the enchanting Mu Hongyuan, Heroine Yan's attire was mostly very conservative.
Her plain long dress was so modest that even her ankles were not exposed.
Of her entire person, the only visible parts were likely her jade-like hands, accustomed only to wielding a sword, and her cheeks.
Yet even so, the voluptuousness beneath the simple dress, revealed by its tight curves, could not be completely concealed.
Heroine Yan had a tall figure, even taller than Mo Xilan and Bi You. While her frame appeared somewhat slender and aloof, it likely hid a fullness beyond what others could imagine.
How did Wang Mu know? He had presumably experienced a taste of it in the Illusion Realm.
Of course, Wang Mu wasn't quite sure how the Heroine Yan from the Illusion Realm differed from the real one.
The difference should be quite significant, right?
Moreover, the Illusion Realm hadn't felt entirely real; it lacked a certain authenticity, much like a dream.
After waking, though he could remember some details, that sense of genuine reality was missing.
"If they are destined, they will naturally take the hook," Heroine Yan replied, as unmoving as a mountain.
"And if they are not destined?" Wang Mu asked.
"Then I shall catch them and eat them," Heroine Yan stated.
Wang Mu was left speechless.
This answer made the corners of Wang Mu's mouth twitch slightly.
Wang Mu walked closer but didn't disturb Heroine Yan, simply watching quietly by her side.
He glanced at the fish basket from time to time and was surprised to see there was actually a fish inside.
"A fish that hooks itself is quite rare," Wang Mu smiled. "What do you plan to do with it?"
"To take the hook is to have destiny," Heroine Yan said. "One with destiny is, naturally, to be gently nurtured."
She paused.
"And released in the future."
That makes sense.
Those without destiny are caught and eaten; those with destiny are nurtured first and then released later.
Makes perfect sense!
"Elder Yan's fishing skill is improving greatly," Wang Mu exclaimed.
"And you?" Heroine Yan inquired.
"Me?" Wang Mu echoed. He thought for a moment. "As for the fish that take my hook, naturally, not a single one should even think of escaping."
Heroine Yan was silent.
"Releasing them is out of the question," Wang Mu shook his head. "How could I release the fish I spent so much effort catching?"
After a long silence, Heroine Yan chided, "You've become obsessed."
"As a Sword Cultivator," Wang Mu replied, "isn't obsession a good thing?"
"There are myriad paths for a Sword Cultivator. Being overly obsessed can lead to stubborn fixations, which may not always be beneficial," Heroine Yan said. "With such obsession, if a fish were to escape your hook one day, it would surely give rise to a Heart Demon in you."
"Escaping the hook means there's no destiny," Wang Mu said with a carefree smile. "If it has no destiny with me, then it wouldn't enter my mouth anyway. Naturally, I'd let it go. How could a Heart Demon arise from that?"
