Chapter 601: A Surprising Breakthrough
No matter how much spiritual energy Ye Lingyue injected, the crystal ball had no reaction.
Just when Ye Lingyue was about to give up with the belief that she could not feel the Star Energy, there was a rattling sound from the Black Cauldron on her right palm.
The little cauldron flew out and there were two cauldron breaths: one is black and the other is white.
When the cauldron breaths entered it, the originally motionless crystal ball shook dramatically.
The color also changed rapidly.
The original transparency changed to blue, yellow and red eventually. Then the whole crystal ball turned bloody red. At last, with a loud bang, the ball broke into pieces when it could not hold the two cauldron breaths.
When the ball cracked open, a ray of yellow light got out and was swallowed in one gulp by the Black Cauldron.
After swallowing the yellow light, the Black Cauldron started shaking in mid air like a drunken man.
In the meantime, Ye Lingyue felt an enormous stream of spiritual energy flowing into her body.
This feeling put Ye Lingyue in great shock.
She realized that the bottleneck as an Eight Cauldron alchemist was getting loose and that she was going to exceed the Nine Cauldrons.
Without any hesitation, Ye Lingyue focused her energy and sat down.
She consumed the stream of spiritual energy inside her body little by little.
Seeing this, Little Qiutian understood what was happening and immediately asked Little Squeakto inform Lan Cai'er who was waiting outside.
After half a day, Ye Lingyue opened her eyes.
She used her god consciousness and then there appeared a Blink Shield before her body.
What was different from the previous situation was that the shield was formed more quickly and covered a bigger area this time. Moreover, it lasted for much longer. In this case, as long as Ye Lingyue wanted to, she could protect dozens of people at a time.
Ye Lingyue was somewhat surprised at the abrupt cracking of the crystal ball. But she was pretty sure that she could feel the Star Energy.
What remained unknown was which level her Star Energy reached. Why did even the crystal ball of the Dan Palace fail to show the result?
"Master, I think you probably have the legendary Chaos Star Energy."
Little Qiutian tilted its head and thought for a while. The two streams of energy (black and white) were so extraordinary that anyone that had seen them could not forget the scene.
"Chaos Star Energy? Is it also a kind of Star Energy? Is it powerful? In comparison with the blue, yellow and red Star Energy, which one is the most powerful?"
Ye Lingyue could not wait to ask.
"Absolutely powerful. Chaos Star Energy only exists in legends. Master, do you remember the Heaven and Earth Tribulation I experienced on that day? If you reach the highest level of Chaos Star Energy, you can utilize power from heaven and earth to cause major changes. For example, you can use the meteorite to kill your enemy directly or destroy a whole city." Little Qiutian's voice was shaking a bit.
"Few on the continent could feel the Chaos Star Energy."
"In the ancient times, there were some great masters who used the Chaos Star Energy to destroy a mountain or even a city in the blink of an eye. The power was dramatically shocking."
Ye Lingyue heard these words and even her dark face shone with delight.
Marvelous! This meant that her spiritual sense could call in the meteorite to kill the enemy in an instant? The Star Energy was truly helpful.
Sure enough, this was only what Ye Lingyue wanted to see. The Chaos Star Energy was the most mysterious among all Star Energy and almost no one knew about its secrets. Only learners of the Chaos Star energy knew about its specific effects.
"Just now, I saw a little cauldron. Is it a real cauldron? Master, you are only an Eight Cauldron alchemist. How can you make a real cauldron?" Little Qiutian cared more about Ye Lingyue's little black cauldron than the Chaos Star Energy.
Although she didn't have direct contact with it, Little Qiutian felt powerful breaths from that little black cauldron. The breaths sent shivers down her spine.
"It is not made by me. I got it by accident. I have not tapped its full potential yet."
Ye Lingyue had absorbed the spiritual power of water and wood. But this meant she had tapped only a small part of the Black Cauldron's functions. Maybe not until she completely absorbed the five spiritual powers could she make full use of the Black Cauldron.
"Master, it is because you are still an alchemist. When you become a master alchemist, you can see the real functions of the real cauldron. Moreover, the cauldron is quite helpful for learning the Star Energy. Ordinary alchemists will consume a lot of Concentrating Crystal when learning the Star Energy, and they can only cultivate at night. The crystal ball you used just now is a kind of low-level Concentrating Crystal. Since you own the real cauldron, you can absorb the Star Energy in any place at any time. This means you can learn at least twice as fast as others."
Hearing Little Qiutian's words, Ye Lingyue realized that the crystal ball she got from Xue Pianran was the Concentrating Crystal.
Then the stream of yellow energy flying from the crystal ball must be Xue Pianran's Star Energy.
All of the Star Energy Xue Pianran absorbed from the night sky was stored inside the crystal ball. So the ball was quite important to Xue Pianran and she would not use it in normal cases. Last time, it was because she wanted to showcase her skills that she used the Star Energy from the ball to treat the child.
Unexpectedly, she did not cure the child. Worse still, she lost the crystal ball.
"Master, you'd better not show the cauldron before others. Otherwise, you will surely invite great trouble." Little Qiutian reminded Ye Lingyue.
"Will this be coveted?"
Ye Lingyue was a little surprised. After she got the Black Cauldron, she just used the cauldron breaths in the very beginning. Not until recently did she begin to show the real cauldron sometimes.
"Master, that is the real cauldron and only powerful master alchemists can control it. You just have the power of an alchemist but can use it. This shows the real magic about it. Ordinary people can in no case grab the real cauldron while powerful master alchemists can. They can destroy your spirit and soul and then wipe out the spiritual seal on the cauldron. In that case, the real cauldron becomes theirs." Little Qiutian explained in great detail.
Ye Lingyue was getting nervous. Obviously, she understood that a man could be rendered sinful by his possessions.
In particular, she had appeared on the Qing Continent Dan List and made the Rainbow Reincarnation Dan Pill. This had already attracted a lot of attention from various forces.
In this case, she might as well cover her status as an alchemist on this trip to Zizhu Mountain except in extreme cases.
Ye Lingyue came up with an idea and left the Black Valley immediately. She told Lan Cai'er about her decision and then the two headed for Yunshang City.
