Chapter 157 Electrolux has recovered further, and preparations are underway to summon his soul spirit and subdue the Snow Empress!
Liu Yuan took the heavy metal box and felt the warm yet powerful life force emanating from his fingertips.
He was indeed very excited at this moment. This excitement was not only because he had obtained a rare treasure, but also because the appearance of the Gold of Life meant that his previous strategic plans finally had substantial support.
First, for Electrox, who resides in his sea of consciousness, the Gold of Life is an irreplaceable tonic.
Although he had already been restored once with the Gold of Life, Electrox was left with only a wisp of his soul. Without the nourishment of such extreme vitality, his recovery speed would be extremely slow.
The more Electrolux recovers, the more powerful the necromancy and soul laws Liu Yuan can use, which is undoubtedly his most secret trump card.
Secondly, the Life Gold is equally significant for improving Liu Yuan's own strength.
His "three pupils" evolution is currently in a plateau phase lacking core support, and this metal that can refine divine consciousness and strengthen the origin is very likely to be the key to allowing him to break through the bottleneck and achieve "three pupils in one" under normal circumstances.
Of course, what Liu Yuan valued even more was the subsequent plan targeting the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire.
In the original timeline, the appearance of the Snow Empress's embryo triggered a fierce struggle, which ultimately led to the Snow Empress transforming into Huo Yuhao's soul.
Now that Liu Yuan has entered the game, he will never let the Body Sect work for nothing.
"If the Gold of Life can help Elder Yi further recover her strength, then after I obtain the Snow Empress, I will have a better chance to subdue her. And if I can subdue her... that would be awesome! It would be like having a top-tier fighter from the Douluo Continent as my henchman!"
Liu Yuan pondered to himself, a glint of purple-gold divine light flashing in his three pupils.
"And also..."
"Once Electrolux recovers to a certain extent, and with the Life Gold as a medium, I can definitely let him try to work on the 'Soul Spirit' when I break through next."
Therefore, this matter is indeed very important.
Looking at Li Meng and the others who were still bowing their heads, their faces filled with trepidation and anticipation, Liu Yuan laughed heartily, walked directly to the table, picked up a pen and wrote a letter in his own hand, and affixed his personal seal.
"Li Meng, you have done a great service this time." Liu Yuan handed the letter to the leading disciple and said in a gentle tone, "Take this letter to the finance department and the resource pavilion, and tell them that I said it. Your entire team will be richly rewarded."
The disciples had only hoped to receive praise from their senior brother, but they never expected the reward to be so generous, and they were all overjoyed.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Li Meng excitedly accepted the letter, bowed repeatedly, and then left with a group of happy junior brothers.
The door closed again.
Liu Yuan took the dark box back to the jade platform in the quiet room.
He took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions, then closed his eyes slightly and let his mental energy sink into the depths of his consciousness.
"Master Yi, it's time to get up."
As Liu Yuan called out, a pure white light slowly emerged from the center of his originally purple-gold sea of consciousness.
Electrolux's aged and profound figure materialized, and he looked at the dark box in Liu Yuan's hand, a hint of approval appearing in his wise eyes.
"Liu Yuan, you've got some luck with these little guys you found." Electrolux's voice echoed in his mind. "I can sense that although the little thing in this box isn't as big as the last one, its purity is also quite good."
Liu Yuan opened the dark box directly, took out the piece of metal about the size of a fingernail that emitted a strong green light, and asked:
"Can this piece of living gold further enhance your strength?"
Electrolux nodded slightly and said calmly, "It's possible. Although it can't directly reshape my godhood, it can stabilize the origin of this remnant soul and double the range of my divine sense. Of course, it won't be as large as the last one, but it can still serve to fill in any gaps."
"Then please use it directly, Elder Yi." Liu Yuan generously affixed the Life Gold to his forehead.
The next moment, the scene changed dramatically.
Electrolux has begun its operation.
The life-gold at the center of Liu Yuan's brow instantly melted away, transforming into an extremely rich emerald green liquid that flowed down his brow and into his sea of consciousness.
Electrolux opened his arms in his mind's eye, and the life force was absorbed into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.
As the Gold of Life was refined, Electrox's previously somewhat ethereal figure became much more solid, and even some fine patterns appeared on his white robe.
What surprised Liu Yuan even more was that Electrolux did not monopolize all the benefits during the absorption process.
He drew upon a portion of the purified life energy, which flowed back into Liu Yuan's meridians.
"Hmm..."
Liu Yuan let out a muffled groan. He felt an extremely large and gentle life force explode within his body, instantly erasing some hidden ailments caused by cultivation, widening his meridians, and making every cell seem to cheer with joy.
Under the feedback of this extreme vitality, his cultivation bottleneck actually loosened a bit.
Time passes silently.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
Liu Yuan remained in the quiet room to consolidate this sudden surge of vitality.
When he opened his eyes again, his three pupils not only became deeper, but the purple hue in the center of his pupils, symbolizing the origin of space, also became more refined.
In the past month, Liu Yuan's soul power cultivation level has increased directly from level 56 to level 57.
Moreover, his vitality was greatly enhanced.
Electrolux had completely absorbed the Life Gold.
He appeared before Liu Yuan, his demeanor more composed than before, and once again expressed his gratitude to Liu Yuan:
"Liu Yuan, this life-giving infusion is very important to me. I feel that my divine sense can now cover the entire mountain gate without being detected by those titled Douluo."
Seeing this, Liu Yuan felt the time was ripe and asked about the concept he had been planning for a long time:
"Teacher, with your current soul control, if we can find an extremely powerful soul that is on the verge of death, is it possible to extract its soul through some kind of contract, while preserving its consciousness and some abilities, and establish a symbiotic relationship with a Soul Master like me? Could this replace the traditional method of hunting Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings?"
Liu Yuan did not directly say the words "soul," but instead used a very abstract concept of a soul contract.
After listening to Liu Yuan's description, a strange light flashed in Electrox's wise eyes.
As a Death Saint, he had spent his entire life dealing with the undead and souls, and Liu Yuan's words were like opening a new door for him.
"Preserve consciousness…form a symbiotic pact…not through killing…" Electrox muttered to himself. He was clearly very interested in this, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"Theoretically, it's feasible. It involves a very advanced equal contract and the law of plane descent. Liu Yuan, your idea is very bold and ingenious. After I consolidate my current origin, I can try to deduce the specific operation process."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan felt a surge of anticipation. He could almost foresee the scene where, once the Body Sect mastered the Soul Spirit technology, powerful Soul Beasts would scramble to merge with him.
Just as Liu Yuan was about to delve deeper into the details, a soft knock came from outside the quiet room.
"Junior Brother Liu Yuan, are you there?"
That was Long Aotian's voice, speaking a few seconds faster than usual.
Liu Yuan suppressed the strange phenomena in his mind, stood up, and opened the door.
Long Aotian stood outside the door, his expression solemn, and said:
"Junior brother, stop your seclusion."
"Master just sent a message that he has something very important to discuss with us in the council hall. Come with me quickly."
