Yunshan sat cross-legged on the stone bed, his hands forming a mysterious gesture.
An invisible force spread out, causing his robes to move without wind.
The entire stone chamber was filled with the power of the soul. This was the result of him using a secret technique, which caused some damage to his own soul.
Many of the Soul Hall's techniques and secret methods had this characteristic: their effects were strange and their power was great, but they also caused considerable damage to oneself.
"Soul Separation Technique!" Yunshan muttered in his heart.
The connection between his soul and body became less tight.
As time passed, a transparent, illusory figure separated from his body.
In his soul form, Yunshan looked at his own lifeless, motionless body and felt a sense of novelty.
He didn't waste time, taking a couple of glances before focusing his attention on the matter at hand.
He took out a Soul Enhancement Pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and then began to refine it.
When Protector Wu refined this Soul Enhancement Pill, he didn't use traditional alchemy methods at all. He wasn't an alchemist, but simply forcibly combined the harvested souls together, adding some special materials he had exchanged for with merits from the Soul Hall.
Therefore, without being tempered by flames, most of the mixed souls inside were still alive and had self-awareness!
A large number of Worms of Spirit were mixed inside!
Amon also freed up a "volume quota" for the Worms of Spirit that Protector Wu had mixed into the Soul Enhancement Pill.
As a result, they rapidly divided and multiplied. Under the effect of their "Soul Devouring" talent, they relied on devouring other souls to grow quickly.
Therefore, those souls that were not originally Amon's also became part of Amon.
In this Soul Enhancement Pill, Amon's content was as high as one hundred percent!
Amon was also gambling when doing this. If he wanted to parasitize someone with a physical body, he needed to parasitize their body first before he could further parasitize their soul.
So, if the Soul Enhancement Pill was taken directly, then this time it would be a wasted effort.
During the period when the Worms of Spirit parasitized Yao Chen, they also recorded some of his books and scrolls and shared them with the external avatars, sending avatars as postmen to deliver them to the main body.
Therefore, Amon understood some alchemy knowledge, at least he understood the general principles.
Although the Soul Enhancement Pill was not in Yao Lao's collection, he initially judged that this kind of pure soul pill should be absorbed by the soul body.
He had no doubt that the Soul Hall had secret methods to separate the soul from the body. If they didn't even have this, they wouldn't be worthy of stirring up trouble everywhere.
Since the Soul Hall Protector had refined such a pill, in order to exert its due effect, there should also be a matching secret method.
According to the trajectory of the original work, the most likely person to become his transaction object and take this pill was Yunshan.
Amon's actions this time had great uncertainty, but the loss would not be too great if he failed. He could recover in one or two months.
If he won the bet, then he could directly parasitize Yunshan and control him. With such a Dou Emperor peak-level puppet, his next actions would be much more convenient.
The result seemed quite lucky. All the trajectories were not much different from what Amon had guessed.
Protector Wu traded the Soul Enhancement Pill to Yunshan, and Yunshan took the pill in the state of his soul body.
Yunshan felt that something was not quite right. The pill seemed to split into countless small insects, spreading to all parts of his soul.
However, he did feel that as the energy in the pill integrated, his own soul was rapidly strengthening.
He guessed that this pill was likely to have been tampered with… but he had no choice but to go all the way to the end.
This Soul Enhancement Pill contained a large amount of soul energy, equivalent to dozens of times that of Amon's main body. Compared to Yunshan, this Dou Emperor peak powerhouse's soul, it was also more than a little bit stronger.
Since the volume of a single Worm of Spirit could not exceed one-tenth of Amon's main body, this power was dispersed. It was still quite difficult to forcibly control Yunshan's soul.
But Yunshan mistook the discomfort caused by the Worms of Spirit parasitizing and integrating into his soul as a phenomenon that should have occurred when taking the Soul Enhancement Pill.
The unease produced by that trace of intuition was also thought to be brought about by Protector Wu tampering with the pill, so he did not resist.
He felt that his spirit was gradually blurring, and his consciousness seemed to be suppressed by something.
Is this the second side effect that Protector Wu said, that the spiritual imprint in the pill may cause one's consciousness to be lost… Yunshan thought to himself.
He tried his best to resist, but he still inevitably and without any surprise sank into darkness.
In a trance, he seemed to see something like a python entwining his soul.
That thing… is a person!
He has hands and feet, wears a pointed soft hat, wears a classical robe, and the monocle on his right eye is particularly eye-catching…
What the hell is this?
This is definitely not a scattered spiritual imprint!
Protector Wu is harming me!
In the moment before his consciousness completely subsided, Yunshan suddenly woke up.
Yunshan's soul was first stunned for a while, and then recovered.
He condensed a monocle with soul power, put it on his right eye, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, outlining a smile, looked at the body sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into it.
After completing the deep parasitism of the soul, the shallow parasitism of the body was dispensable, so only the soul of the Worm of Spirit controlled Yunshan, and there would be no impact.
Illusory Worms of Spirit floated out of Yunshan's body, and then turned into wisps of blue smoke and dissipated into the air.
This was Amon reducing his "volume quota" and returning it to the other avatars.
…
Eastern Magic Beast Mountain Range.
After realizing that the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth had disappeared, a Worm of Spirit drilled out of Yuan Gong's body.
It ate the corpse of the Worm of Spirit that had committed suicide to free up the quota, and then began to cultivate.
This could greatly shorten its recovery time.
…
Wu Tan City, Miteer Auction House.
Wu Meng played with the corpse of a Worm of Spirit in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and did not eat it.
The demand for strength on his side was not too great. Leaving the "quota" to the avatars in other places would be a better choice for the overall situation.
…
Deep in the Yunlan Mountain, behind a simple hut.
Yunshan walked out of the secret room in the mountain wall. He condensed a pair of monocles with Dou Qi, wore them for a while, and then scattered them with some regret.
Some identities are not suitable to be expressed too obviously.
He pinched his eye sockets and looked at a young man in Yunlan Sect disciple attire who was slowly walking along the path.
"Heh… Yun Meng ah… reacting quite fast." Yunshan chuckled.
Yun Meng was the name that the Worms of Spirit called Amon, the person in charge of the Yunlan Sect area.
Yun Meng pinched the monocle on his right eye and replied with a smile:
"After all, the main body had similar ideas early on, and the Worms of Spirit also discovered the monsters floating in the sky.
"In addition, the main body is active in the northwestern part of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, and the distance from Yunlan Mountain is not far, so of course I will have similar guesses.
"Now that you have control of Yunshan, how about I give you the name 'Yun Meng'?"
Yunshan shook his head: "In order to control Yunshan, I devoured the souls of a large number of magical beasts. Although I separated the Worms of Spirit to eliminate some of the overly extreme spirits, the deviation in the mode of thinking from the main body is still a bit large.
"The Yunlan Sect area is still under your responsibility. The main body will probably assign me other tasks.
"After all, in order to control Yunshan, the occupied volume quota is too large, even affecting the main body's cultivation speed.
"If this peak Dou Emperor's combat power is not used, it would be a losing business for 'Amon'."
After a slight pause, Yunshan asked, "Where is Yun Yun now?"
Yun Meng's eyebrows moved, guessing the other party's thoughts, and replied, "She is in the sect."
"Very good, let's go then." Yunshan grabbed Yun Meng's shoulder, Dou Qi transformed into wings, and he flew towards the main area of the Yunlan Sect.
In front of the main hall of the Yunlan Sect, a beautiful and moving woman stood quietly.
She was wearing a plain dress, her black hair was tied into a phoenix hair ornament, her expression was calm and peaceful, revealing a bit of grace and nobility.
This moving woman was the contemporary Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun, a Dou Emperor powerhouse.
She looked towards the depths of Yunlan Mountain and suddenly revealed a slightly surprised expression: "Teacher…"
"Teacher… what's wrong?" Beside the graceful and noble beautiful woman stood an equally beautiful girl, who was Nalan Yanran, who had gone to the Xiao family to break off the engagement that day.
"Yanran, your grandmaster is here, be prepared to welcome him," Yun Yun replied.
"Grandmaster?" Nalan Yanran revealed a surprised look.
When Yun Yun accepted her as a disciple, she was already the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect. Yunshan had retreated to the depths of Yunlan Mountain to cultivate in seclusion, and did not care about sect affairs. Therefore, even she, this grand-disciple, had only been taken by Yun Yun to see him once after she first became a disciple.
Not long after, Yunshan landed in front of the main hall.
Yun Yun quickly took Nalan Yanran forward to salute:
"Greetings, Teacher."
"Greetings, Grandmaster."
Yun Yun saw that there was another Yunlan Sect disciple beside Yunshan, and a trace of doubt appeared on her face: "Teacher… you are…"
"Yun'er, this is my newly accepted disciple, named Yun Meng. I will leave him to you to train in the future, please put in more effort," Yunshan said with a smile.
"Ah? Oh…" Yun Yun was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately agreed.
"Meng'er, why don't you come over and greet your senior sister." Yunshan said to Yun Meng.
Yun Meng had a kind smile on his face and walked to Yun Yun, respectfully bowing and saluting: "Greetings, Senior Sister."
Afterwards, he looked at Nalan Yanran: "Yanran, Junior Niece, you are here too…"
The corners of Nalan Yanran's mouth twitched. She had some impression of this young man, he probably joined the Yunlan Sect three or four years ago.
He was a guy with a little talent, who liked to be calculating and play petty tricks… she didn't expect that he would directly transform and become her martial uncle.
She didn't know what her grandmaster saw in him… she muttered in her heart.
"Yanran, quickly pay your respects to your martial uncle." Yun Yun reminded her when she saw Nalan Yanran was stunned there.
"Uh… Greetings, Martial Uncle."
Only then did she react, she couldn't lose her manners in front of her grandmaster.
