Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 242 Taking Spiritual Essence

“Tick-tock”

The sound of drops of water falling echoed clearly in the cave. The crisp sound seemed to be the only melody in this silent cave.

This cave is located in a deep forest, not far from the area where Shen Yun and the Wave Devouring Beast fought. The cave is dark and damp, with moss growing on the stone walls, exuding an old smell.

There should have been a monster living here, perhaps a ferocious wolf monster, or perhaps a poisonous python.

However, probably because the battle between Shen Yun and the Wave-Devouring Beast was too noisy, the earth-shaking impact and deafening sound scared the original owner of the cave away.

Fortunately, it ran fast, otherwise when Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi came over, it would have been tragically killed by a single sword.

All in all, this cave has now been requisitioned by the two of them, on a compulsory basis.

They broke into it without any hesitation, as if this cave was born for them. Shen Yun took firm steps, the sword in his hand was still stained with blood from the battle, his eyes were tired but still full of vigilance.

Lin Ruyi followed closely behind, with a hint of sternness on her beautiful face. She carefully observed her surroundings to prevent any potential danger. In this mysterious and dangerous world, the strong are respected. They requisitioned this cave without any guilt or hesitation.

Lin Ruyi's nose wrinkled slightly, and a look of disgust instantly appeared on her delicate face. The smell of the monsters left in the cave was really pungent, mixed with fishy and rancid smells, which was really not a pleasant smell. Lin Ruyi waved her sleeves lightly, and her spiritual power flashed instantly, like a bright star light suddenly appearing in the darkness.

A strong wind whistled out from her sleeves. The wind was strong and fierce, carrying a great deal of spiritual power. Wherever it passed, the monster excrement on the ground was rolled up, and together with the filthy air, it formed a rolling gray-black air wave. This air wave rushed towards the cave entrance and instantly disappeared into the vast world outside the cave.

After the strong wind, the air in the cave became clearer. Although it was still a bit damp, the disgusting smell had dissipated a lot. Lin Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her results with satisfaction.

"You take a rest here, I'll go outside to guard." After checking that there were no threats in the cave, Lin Ruyi said solemnly. Her eyes were filled with concern and caution.

"Yeah," Shen Yun nodded, a warm smile spread across his face as he said, "Ruyi, thank you for your hard work."

Lin Ruyi smiled, turned and walked towards the cave entrance.

Shen Yun looked at Lin Ruyi's departing back, feeling relieved. He slowly sat down cross-legged, adjusting his breathing, and preparing to start regulating his breathing to recover the spiritual energy consumed in his body. The cave became quiet, with only the slight breathing of Shen Yun and the occasional sound of the wind coming from outside the cave.

As he breathed in and out, the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be summoned and slowly gathered towards him. These spiritual energies were like wisps of green smoke, first lingering around his body, and then seeping into his body little by little through his pores.

Shen Yun guided the spiritual energy to flow through the meridians. Wherever it passed, the meridians that had been damaged by the battle with the Wave-Devouring Beast began to slowly repair themselves, just like dry land encountering a downpour of rain.

Gradually, the spiritual energy in his body flowed more and more smoothly, and his injuries were getting better at a speed visible to the naked eye. Shen Yun's breath gradually became steady and long, and his whole body exuded a peaceful and powerful aura.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yun slowly opened his eyes, with a gleam of light in his eyes. At this time, his injuries had mostly healed, and his spiritual power had become abundant.

Shen Yun slowly put away his skills, but did not stand up immediately. He still sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his brows slightly furrowed, his mind immersed in the fierce battle with the Wave Devouring Beast just now.

He carefully calculated the strength comparison between himself and the Wave Devouring Beast in his mind. From the perspective of realm, the Wave Devouring Beast did have a clear advantage. Its powerful aura and deep spiritual power foundation showed its high level of cultivation, far above Shen Yun.

However, in terms of comprehensive combat power, Shen Yun was confident that he was not inferior to it. His years of practice, training in actual combat, and mastery of various wonderful skills gave him a unique advantage in combat skills and adaptability. Previously, the battle between the two sides seemed to be evenly matched, but in fact, before Shen Yun had time to use his full strength, the Wave Devouring Beast slipped away.

Of course, this does not mean that Shen Yun can win as long as he reveals all his cards. After all, no one can guarantee that the Wave-Devouring Beast does not have a few hidden tricks up its sleeve.

If the battle continued, Shen Yun was ready to use lightning power to attack. Lightning power was one of his most powerful skills. Once used, it would definitely pose a huge threat to the Wave Devouring Beast. Thinking of this, Shen Yun's mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile. He believed that as long as he went all out, even if the Wave Devouring Beast was at a higher level, it might not be able to get any advantage from him.

Of course, all of these are compared based on the strength displayed by the Wave Devourer, but even a lion will fight a rabbit with all its strength. Shen Yun knows that in this dangerous world, even when facing a seemingly weak opponent, one must not take it lightly, let alone a powerful Wave Devourer.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun carefully took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his storage ring. This porcelain bottle was as smooth as jade and emitted a faint glow. It was given by Huo Jingtian. He stared at the porcelain bottle in his hand, and a feeling of gratitude surged in his heart.

During this period of time, Shen Yun has been concentrating on practicing the Seven Styles of Heaven and Earth, and has devoted all his energy to studying this powerful move, so much so that he has neglected the improvement of his realm. At this moment, looking at the porcelain bottle in his hand, he knows that this drop of spiritual essence may be the key to improving his realm and strengthening his strength.

Shen Yun gently stroked the porcelain bottle, as if he could feel the great power contained in it. He took a deep breath and slowly unscrewed the cork. A pure and rich spiritual energy instantly spread out, which lifted his spirits.

Shen Yun did not dare to delay for a moment. He held the porcelain bottle steadily with his left hand and gently guided it with his right hand like a sword. The drop of spiritual essence slowly rose from the porcelain bottle. The spiritual essence was like a bright pearl, crystal clear, glittering with a dreamy blue light, and there seemed to be a layer of light mist lingering on its surface. The breath exuded by the spiritual essence was extremely unique, with a fragrance as fresh as morning dew, and an ancient and mysterious charm, as if it came from the spiritual charm of ancient times, which made people intoxicated.

He took a deep breath and concentrated on controlling the spiritual essence to move closer to his lips. When the spiritual essence was close to his lips, he opened his mouth slightly, and the drop of spiritual essence instantly slid into his mouth. The moment it entered his mouth, a cool feeling instantly spread, like a breeze in the summer, refreshing his hot body and mind.
