Chapter 485: Black Liquid
Slap!!!
Yang Haoran slapped Burly Man, and the palm made of Yin spirit power directly sent Burly Man flying.
Burly Man had not yet stabilized his body in the air when the soul-refining cauldron spewed out another chain, tightly binding Burly Man and forcibly dragging him into the soul-refining cauldron.
Burly Man resisted violently, but his strength was not enough. Although he was stronger than the previous young man, he was still not strong enough. Amid Burly Man's roars, he was forcibly sucked into the soul-refining cauldron, following in the footsteps of the young man.
Previously, only the young man's cries had come from the soul-refining cauldron, but now, with Burly Man being sucked in, Burly Man's curses also came from the soul-refining cauldron.
These curses, of course, were directed at Yang Haoran. Subsequently, Burly Man's curses turned into agonizing screams.
If one were to look down into the soul-refining cauldron at this time, one would find that the young man's soul body had gradually begun to dissolve, and strands of black gas were being forcibly extracted from his soul body and settled at the bottom of the soul-refining cauldron, and the more black gas that was extracted, the more his soul body would dissolve.
This black gas was pure Yin Qi!
The Yin Qi on the ghost's body was too complex, so in order to refine a soul pill, the Yin Qi on the ghost's body had to be filtered, leaving only the purest Yin Qi.
Once the pure Yin Qi in the soul body was completely filtered out, the ghost would have its soul scattered.
At this time, the pure Yin Qi in the young man's body was being filtered out bit by bit, so his soul body was gradually beginning to dissolve, and his cries were getting weaker and weaker.
On the other hand, the newly arrived Burly Man, although also experiencing the pain of filtering Yin Qi, his soul body had not yet dissolved, so his agonizing screams were still quite loud.
But it would not be long before he would follow in the young man's footsteps.
Although Yang Haoran could not see the situation inside the soul-refining cauldron, he could sense it, after all, the soul-refining cauldron was now driven by his Yin spirit power, so he naturally knew the situation inside.
Burly Man's heart-rending screams and the young man's increasingly weak pleas fell on his ears, but he did not care, letting them go in one ear and out the other, as he continued to take out the undead from the soul gathering bead.
This time, he released five undead from the soul gathering bead at once.
The reason he only took out one undead the first two times was that he had no experience in refining soul pills, so he decided to take out only one undead out of caution.
After two experiences, he naturally would not take out one undead at a time, in order to improve efficiency, he took out five undead at once.
The moment the five undead were released from the soul gathering bead, the soul-refining cauldron, under Yang Haoran's control, spewed out five chains, which quickly bound the five undead and forcibly dragged them into the soul-refining cauldron.
Originally, there were only the cries of the young man and Burly Man in the soul-refining cauldron, but with the addition of the five people, the agonizing cries from the soul-refining cauldron increased by five, with both men and women, old and young.
Yang Haoran remained unmoved, he did not hesitate at all, and this time he increased the number of undead released by another fold, from five to ten!
With his strength, ten undead still posed no pressure to him, and they were easily captured and brought into the soul-refining cauldron.
The addition of these ten undead made the inside of the soul-refining cauldron suddenly become lively, with agonizing screams, piercing cries, desperate pleas, and pitiful begging constantly coming from the soul-refining cauldron, echoing throughout the study room.
At this moment, Yang Haoran's study room was like a purgatory on earth.
Yang Haoran's expression did not change, and he increased the driving force on the soul-refining cauldron, causing the speed of extracting pure Yin Qi to accelerate. The young man who was first brought in had already become too weak to make a sound, and when the last trace of pure Yin Qi was extracted from his soul body, his soul body completely disappeared in the soul-refining cauldron, leaving only a mass of pure Yin Qi at the bottom.
As for the chains that had bound the young man, they disappeared along with the disappearance of his soul body, as if they had never existed.
The complete dissipation of the young man's soul body meant that he had lost his soul, and from now on, he would no longer exist in this world. Sample from My Virtual Library Empire—read more on M&VLEMPY&R.
After the young man, Burly Man suffered the same fate, followed by the third, fourth, and so on undead.
As more and more undead souls completely dissolved, the pure Yin Qi at the bottom of the soul-refining cauldron also increased.
Yang Haoran would sometimes fully activate the soul-refining cauldron to increase the speed of extracting pure Yin Qi, and sometimes he would activate the soul-refining cauldron to spray out chains to send more undead into it.
Time passed, and the undead in the soul gathering bead became fewer and fewer, while the pure Yin Qi settled at the bottom of the soul-refining cauldron became more and more.
The only thing that did not change was the constant screams of the undead and Yang Haoran's expressionless face.
After an unknown period of time, Yang Haoran stopped sending more undead into the soul-refining cauldron. By then, he had sent a total of one thousand undead into it.
One thousand undead was not the limit of the soul-refining cauldron, but he stopped because he wanted to see how many soul pills could be refined from these one thousand undead.
Once again, he fully activated the soul-refining cauldron, and the speed of extracting pure Yin Qi accelerated. The agonizing screams of the undead in the soul-refining cauldron gradually became weaker, and after about half an hour, the last weak scream faded, and no more undead screams came from the soul-refining cauldron.
At this time, there were no longer any traces of the undead in the soul-refining cauldron, only a layer of black liquid at the bottom.
This black liquid was the pure Yin Qi that had become concentrated to a certain degree under the special influence of the soul-refining cauldron, resulting in a liquefaction phenomenon.
If Yang Haoran were to stop the refinement now and take out the black liquid at the bottom of the soul-refining cauldron to absorb, he could also strengthen his Yin spirit power, as the black liquid itself was the pure Yin Qi compressed by the soul-refining cauldron, and absorbing it would not have any negative impact on his body.
However, Yang Haoran did not do so, nor did he have such an idea, because once these black liquids were refined into soul pills through the soul-refining cauldron, the pure Yin Qi in them would be greatly enhanced at the moment the soul pills were formed.
To put it bluntly, if he were to absorb the black liquid in the soul-refining cauldron now, he would only get the pure Yin Qi of the black liquid itself, but if he refined these black liquids into soul pills through the soul-refining cauldron, the pure Yin Qi would be greatly increased on the original basis due to the special influence of the soul-refining cauldron, allowing him to obtain an extra amount of pure Yin Qi.
Of course, if there were problems during the refinement process, resulting in a complete failure, then he would get nothing, not even the original black liquid, which would disappear along with the failed refinement.
This involves certain risks, and these risks will decrease as the refinement becomes more skilled. Although a failed refinement is regrettable, the benefits of a successful refinement are not just a little.
Given Yang Haoran's personality, he would certainly not stop just for the sake of the immediate benefits, and he would definitely use these black liquids to refine soul pills.
Although the success rate of the first refinement should be very low, everything has a process, and if he does not take this step, without the experience gained from failures, he will never be able to improve in this area.
Therefore, Yang Haoran did not even consider it, and immediately began refining according to the method of refining soul crystals.
The black liquid at the bottom of the soul-refining cauldron, which was originally motionless, began to move as Yang Haoran activated the soul-refining cauldron according to the method of refining soul crystals. The liquid started to rotate, and the speed of rotation quickly increased, forming a small vortex at the bottom of the soul-refining cauldron in just a short moment.
The dense Yin Qi enveloped the soul-refining cauldron, and a thick Yin Qi also rose in the interior of the soul-refining cauldron, making it impossible to see the situation inside clearly.
