Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 331: Chapter 273: Artifact Spirit’s Second Transformation

After spending a full two-hour period, Han Yu hovered over the East Sea Domain, then brought the villagers back from a mountain gully.

Upon seeing their Mountain Spirit once more, the villagers couldn’t help but bow down in reverence, their eyes filled with awe.

Qing Wan ran under the tree, coming to the side of the little white deer, and her gloomy mood instantly lifted.

”Mountain Spirit, this is your body, right?”

She looked at the towering tree, her eyes full of astonishment.

”Yoh! Yoh!”

The little white deer raised its head proudly and called out twice.

Qing Wan’s eyes sparkled with delight, her face full of joy, because the Mountain Spirit said it had learned how to use its true body’s power and could protect this place in the future.

”That’s really wonderful.”

When she shared this news with the villagers, it naturally aroused cheers among them.

”Cough, cough!”

Although he didn’t want to spoil the mood at this moment, wasn’t Han Yu hustling for this very moment all along?

”Yoh!”

The little deer wore a dissatisfied expression on its face, calling a few impatient times.

Qing Wan conscientiously acted as a translator, but with a somewhat peculiar tone, she said, ”The Mountain Spirit says to take out the pills! Stingy look, not generous at all.”

Han Yu’s breath hitched upon hearing this, thinking it unfair he’d be called ungenerous.

”Why not set a fire and burn it once this is done.”

”Don’t, who knows when you’ll need this mean-spirited spirit again, besides, it’s truly hard to kill, even with no benefit in it, just a thankless task.”

The Artifact Spirit hurriedly stopped him, still using the old saying, not to bicker with a Beast Spirit. Having no choice, the Five Great Spirit Bodies are all noble beings. This one remained decent enough, being worshiped by ordinary people for a thousand years, seemingly has changed significantly.

Judging by its ability to constantly protect the villagers, it might even be the most competent among the Five Great Spirits.

When Han Yu took out the pills again, it went much smoother this time, with the little white deer issuing some instructions to Qing Wan, and the young girl kept nodding, completely believing in its words.

”Yoh!”

Finally, the little deer called out to Han Yu.

Qing Wan stepped forward and said, ”The Mountain Spirit says I can eat it without worries, it’s fine.”

This time Han Yu couldn’t be bothered to say more, since the price was paid by the Wood Spirit, why remind it, and handed the pills directly.

The young girl carefully took them into her mouth and swallowed.

After the pills entered her stomach, a light force spread through her Sea of Consciousness, quickly filling it to the brim, and with a muffled bang, as if a refreshing enlightenment, her mind suddenly became much clearer.

The force didn’t stop spreading, instead, it continued to emit gentle energy.

Boom!

Boom!

With two successive eruptions, her Sea of Consciousness felt like clouds being dispersed to reveal the sunlight, its space expanded several times wider, and the filled energy gradually formed a whirlwind spinning within the Sea of Consciousness.

A tiny seed in the Sea of Consciousness slowly sprouted roots and eventually grew into a small sapling, with the whirlwind leaving two marks that sank into the depths of the sea before disappearing...

”Done!”

The Artifact Spirit exclaimed with joy; as long as the girl completed the sequence, its turn for demands would come too.

A strand of Profound Yellow Qi was drawn from Qing Wan’s body and directly inserted into Han Yu, though it lasted less than a moment before breaking off.

”No way, the main part stays with the Wood Spirit, this little girl can only extract a fragment of her Origin, used to cultivate Divine Techniques.”

The Artifact Spirit explained, and as its voice fell, the Profound Yellow Qi, once entering the Sea of Consciousness, was quickly absorbed by the Glazed Bottle, its body trembled slightly before a green seed was spat out from the bottle mouth, dropping into the Sea of Consciousness.

Han Yu could immediately sense a new transformable energy within him; he slightly stirred his heart, trying to provoke it using Divine Power Energy, and a gentle life essence spread throughout his whole body.

At the same time, a green aura began oozing from the body of the towering tree.

This aura was different, with energy as thick as a fist rushing towards Han Yu, soon connecting him with the tree.

”Ping, get ready, here it comes!”

At the shout of the Artifact Spirit, a fist-sized beam of light began ceaselessly pouring into the bottle mouth from the sky of the Sea of Consciousness.

This gift from the Wood Spirit would typically help the girl step into a new level of power, yet now the vast energy, upon reaching the Sea of Consciousness, greatly benefited the Artifact Spirit.

It cheerfully exclaimed, clearly it hadn’t encountered such situations in a long time.

The last grand spectacle of this kind was when Han Yu duped an entire city of cultivators, yet that didn’t even account for half of what was in this moment.

The Glazed Bottle was exerting effort, strands of misty essence constantly rising, gradually diffusing into colorful radiance.

The radiance spread into clouds within the Sea of Consciousness, gradually turning into raindrops, which pattered against the Sea of Consciousness, against the bottle, and even against the Artifact Spirit.

Soon the bottle began to shine brilliantly, even refracting arcs of rainbow light that withdrew instantly leaving a curved line on the bottle’s body before vanishing once more.

Then three clusters of energy gradually aggregated within the Sea of Consciousness, uniformly sized.

The share belonging to the Glazed Bottle swiftly ascended and disappeared into the bottle’s mouth, shortly after the bottle quivered to life.

Little Glass, wary and without a word, pounced towards one cluster and began voraciously devouring it.

With one remaining, Han Yu felt a bit troubled, having at least promised the Artifact Spirit before not to compete for it.

”Why aren’t you taking it?”

The Artifact Spirit said while munching, glancing at the solitary motionless cluster of energy, surprised.

”Didn’t I promise you, it’s all yours this time!”

Han Yu sighed.

Little Glass visibly had a conflicted look, for Han Yu had promised not to compete for energy.

Yet later on, he himself had mentioned sharing it evenly, guessing Han Yu might have forgotten.

”What say you owe me for ten or eight years more, and the energy is yours.”

It tentatively suggested, adhering to the principle of never passing over a good deal, if he agreed, it would latch onto the debt.

Unexpectedly, the always silent Ping suddenly sprang to action, leaped up, smashing the energy with its bottom, scattering light absorbed by the Sea of Consciousness.

”Whoa, I didn’t agree to that, Ping did it.”

Han Yu was equally startled, for it took away the Artifact Spirit’s benefits unwittingly, not on him really.

This decade or so of Qi Fortune he’d absolutely disown, letting every such debt accrue would mean producing pills for a lifetime wouldn’t settle it.

Surprisingly, the Artifact Spirit didn’t make an uproar this time though, merely gritting its teeth, and continued devouring its portion of energy.

”You wait, I’ll get you back, damned bottle,”

The Artifact Spirit swallowed the last bit of energy, emitting a self-generated mist that enveloped it fully.

In the silent pause, Little Glass surely was undergoing an unpredictable transformation.

Han Yu, filled with curiosity, continued to watch over the Sea of Consciousness. After a full quarter, a sign of the mist thinning appeared.

Inside, Little Glass’s jubilant voice came through first, ”I’ve got feet now, I’m awakened! Master is revived! Ping, you’re about to kneel before your lord.”

Once the mist fully dissipated, Little Glass stood with hands on its waist, laughing with head held high.

Han Yu wore an extremely strange expression, glancing a few more times, then unable to bear it, promptly withdrew from the Sea of Consciousness...
