My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 608 Primordial Spirit

"This subordinate wouldn’t dare!"

True Yang Master bowed respectfully. Though he was somewhat unwilling, there was nothing he could do. If you weren’t as strong as your opponent, you had to do as they said; otherwise, you were simply courting death.

"You stand guard outside and don’t allow anyone in. I’m going inside to check the situation."

Yang Qi had subdued True Yang Master and could make use of him for a while. At the very least, he now had a gatekeeper to prevent anyone from disturbing him.

The cave was very large and even contained a natural spring. There were also many precious herbs, but most had been ruined by the Golden Eagle, which was quite a pity.

Yang Qi arrived in the depths of the cave, where he saw a serpentine herb. It really is Dragon Soul Grass! The herb was nearly ripe and would be fully mature in about three or four days.

This is quite fortunate for me. If I had come a few days later, the Golden Eagle would have eaten it. After that, it would have gained true Spiritual Wisdom, becoming every bit as intelligent as a human.

Since the Dragon Soul Grass was not yet ripe, he would have to wait a few days. I should deal with the Golden Eagle’s carcass first.

Just as he was thinking this, something suddenly pounced at him. It must have been the same creature that ambushed the rich young man in the cave earlier. Probably some kind of venomous snake.

However, it posed no threat to Yang Qi. With a casual wave of his hand, a dozen venomous snakes were instantly terrified, scattering and fleeing. This place had now become a Forbidden Land—Yang Qi’s Forbidden Land. As long as his aura was present, no snakes, insects, rats, or ants dared to approach.

Outside, True Yang Master was eyeing the Golden Eagle, his mouth nearly watering. This was understandable. The Golden Eagle was comparable to a Sixth Rank Overlord, and its entire body was a treasure. Who wouldn’t salivate at the sight?

"Master!" Seeing Yang Qi emerge, True Yang Master hurriedly bowed.

Yang Qi glanced at him indifferently and asked, "What do you want?"

True Yang Master’s face lit up with joy. "This subordinate only wants some of the Golden Eagle’s blood, not too much."

"Hmm, take it," Yang Qi nodded.

The Golden Eagle’s blood was naturally precious. However, Yang Qi wasn’t that stingy. Simply controlling True Yang Master with the Puppetry Technique wasn’t enough; he wanted the man’s genuine obedience. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome if the old fellow tried to cause problems. Giving him a little something was essential. Even a slave needs some incentive; you can’t just expect service without providing any benefits.

"Thank you, Master. This subordinate will definitely serve you with all his heart and might," True Yang Master said, overjoyed. He hurriedly took out a small vial and began collecting the Golden Eagle’s blood.

Yang Qi also started to process the Golden Eagle’s carcass. Its feathers were incredibly tough; so tough that even he couldn’t penetrate them. The wounds he had inflicted on the Golden Eagle had all been aimed at its eyes and the weak points on its belly. These feathers could definitely be crafted into a Defensive Magic Artifact, one that would be unbreakable.

However, crafting a purely defensive artifact would be somewhat wasteful. It would be even more marvelous if he could create a Magic Artifact that was both offensive and defensive. The Dragon God Technique contained records of such artifacts, shaped like wings, which could both defend and attack with extreme sharpness. Furthermore, the Golden Eagle’s feathers contained the Wind Element, which could provide Yang Qi with some novel attack methods.

As for the Golden Eagle’s bones, they could be used in Alchemy. Each bone contained the concentrated essence of countless rare treasures, making them perfectly suited for refining Elixirs that strengthen the body.

The Golden Eagle’s flesh and blood were also of great use and highly effective for Alchemy. Even if the meat were simply roasted, its delicious taste and potent energy would be far superior to the wild boar from before. Even a mortal who ate it would likely find their body strengthened considerably.

Yang Qi dismantled all the materials and stored them in the Mountain and River Map. The map had a storage function that could preserve items, making it far more effective than a refrigerator.

Next, he used the Golden Eagle’s fresh blood for Alchemy, successfully refining it into Qi Blood Pills. Although they were ordinary Elixirs, they had reached the potency of a Third Level Elixir, a success signaled by the appearance of a yellow Dan Cloud. Third Level Elixirs were very useful even for Cultivators in the Body Tempering Stage.

Of course, ordinary Elixirs couldn’t compare to Spirit Pills. But in this era, even Spiritual Medicines were hard to find, which made refining Spirit Pills highly impractical. Furthermore, not many people were even capable of refining Mortal Grade Elixirs, let alone Mortal Grade Third Level ones.

The massive Golden Eagle yielded a total of three hundred Qi Blood Pills. These pills could strengthen the body and extend one’s lifespan, providing tremendous help to Martial Artists and countless benefits to ordinary people. For an Overlord Level Martial Artist, a single pill was likely equivalent to a year of arduous cultivation. The effects would be even better for a Martial Artist below the Overlord Level.

"Here, this is for you!" Yang Qi casually tossed three Qi Blood Pills to True Yang Master.

True Yang Master was immediately overjoyed. Over the last few days, having witnessed Yang Qi’s Alchemy, he had already concluded that his new master was no ordinary person and had resolved to serve him faithfully. He never expected Yang Qi to actually give him Qi Blood Pills; he was ecstatic, far beyond his wildest hopes.

"Thank you, Master, I—!"

"Enough. I don’t want to hear empty promises," Yang Qi said, waving his hand. "If you want to show loyalty, prove it with your actions." He calculated the time. There was only one day left until the Dragon Soul Grass matured.

He needed to think carefully about how to use the Dragon Soul Grass. Currently, his methods mostly involved Spells and Martial Arts, but his proficiency with the Divine Soul was nearly zero. A Cultivator’s Divine Soul naturally grew stronger over time, but without any offensive techniques, it was a real waste.

The Dragon God Technique recorded that there were two paths in Immortal Cultivation. One path was to focus on cultivating the body, ultimately achieving sainthood through the physical form. The other was to cultivate the Divine Soul, eventually transcending the mundane world and freeing oneself from the body’s constraints to roam between heaven and earth. Most Immortal Cultivation Methods involved cultivating both aspects but tended to focus more on the cultivation of techniques. This way, if one path proved unworkable, the other was still an option.

The Dragon God Technique was the same, emphasizing the dual cultivation of soul and body. It also provided a wealth of supplementary materials, such as Medical Skills, Mystical Skills, Martial Arts, and Spells. It, too, was a path of dual soul and martial cultivation. However, Yang Qi had mostly used his spellcasting abilities, relying on Spiritual Power. He had barely touched his Soul Power.

This was because his Cultivation was too low; he hadn’t reached that level yet. Legend held that a Cultivator had to form a Nascent Soul before they could cultivate their Primordial Spirit. But with the Dragon Soul Grass, none of that was a problem. Yang Qi could now begin walking the path of Divine Soul cultivation. Once he reached a certain level of proficiency, he could even achieve Primordial Spirit Emergence and Soul Separation—a truly formidable feat.

Another day passed, and the Dragon Soul Grass fully matured. Yang Qi immediately refined it into ten Dragon Soul Pills and consumed one right away to begin cultivating his Divine Soul.

The first realm of Divine Soul cultivation was known as "Primordial Spirit." This process involved cultivating the soul directly into a Primordial Spirit, which was far more powerful and served as the foundation for all Divine Soul Techniques.

With a single Dragon Soul Pill and one day of cultivation, Yang Qi successfully condensed his Primordial Spirit, reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Closing his eyes, he could see his Primordial Spirit—a perfect replica of himself—sitting cross-legged within his Soul Sea.
