"This Soul Nurturing Formation will fully restore the lady's soul in half a year, and it will also pacify the souls of your other relatives," the Realm Spirit said.

"Will they feel...even better if the Soul Nurturing Formation continues to work?" Chu Mo asked cautiously.

"To simply make them feel better? The Soul Nurturing Formation would hardly justify such horrible consumption for merely that," said the Realm Spirit, his face becoming grave. "However, you must not think about maintaining the Soul Nurturing Formation indefinitely, that won't do!"

"Why?" Chu Mo asked the Realm Spirit, who knew all Mo's secrets, including his strongest cards - Heaven Slaying, Sky God Mirror, and Chaos Furnace. Naturally, he also knew about his alchemy, which one could say was unrivaled!

Today, he's also in partnership with the largest elixir merchant, Lingdan Hall and even acts as a guest alchemist for them. Earning money, something that may be difficult for others, was not a problem for him.

Not to mention the enormous amount of elixirs he possesses. If he were to auction these elixirs, each one could bring him a fortune!

Even selling them to Lingdan Hall would provide steady and substantial income.

"Let's first talk about the benefits of the Soul Nurturing Formation," the Realm Spirit said, calmly looking at Chu Mo: "One thing at a time."

Chu Mo nodded.

"Firstly, its benefits are undeniable. It can make the souls of your friends and family incredibly strong. Moreover, if they keep receiving nourishment from the Soul Nurturing Formation, in a few years, they could even solidify their souls, regain their divine sense, and hence can communicate with you!"

"That's fantastic!" Chu Mo responded excitedly.

"Don't celebrate too soon, it's more than just a financial matter," warned the Realm Spirit. "First, the consumption of the Soul Nurturing Formation is beyond your imagination. I know, given your capabilities, accumulating enormous wealth doesn't seem difficult. If you were currently a cultivator at the Emperor Realm, living in the Heavenly Realm, then... I would not object. Even if you had the cultivation of a true immortal... it could just about be possible."

Chu Mo looked up at the Realm Spirit, "So you're saying, my constant accumulation of wealth without any noticeable expenditure could potentially draw attention?"

"It's not just 'likely,' it's a certainty!" The Realm Spirit looked at Chu Mo, "The moment you step into the Spirit Realm, cultivators from both the Heavenly Realm and the Immortal Realm will spare no effort to find you! Trust me, you'll see countless bounties for you on the board!"

"…" Chu Mo was speechless, "Is that really necessary?"

"Even the heirs of great families in the Heavenly Realm can only afford a few hundred premium Heavenly Crystals at most. That would already be considered a fortune ..." The Realm Spirit looked at Chu Mo, "But you surprised even me with the amount of wealth you've accumulated…tens of thousands! Do you think it's too much?"

"What's the problem if I'm discreet?" Chu Mo retorted.

The Realm Spirit couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You think being discreet will solve it? Do you think that all the people in Lingdan Hall… are naively good?"

Chu Mo's mouth twitched, this was indeed a situation that couldn't be avoided. The large amount of money he handled was going through Lingdan Hall for transactions. It wasn't exactly realistic to hide such transactions from the people in Lingdan Hall.

"The Soul Nurturing Formation, by nourishing their souls in this manner for half a year and completely restoring that lady's soul, should be sufficient," the Realm Spirit said softly. "For the remaining time, you could nourish their souls once every few years with the Soul Nurturing Formation. That way, you can ensure they don't suffer."

"But what if I maintain the Soul Nurturing Formation? What then?" Chu Mo asked.

"You are stubborn," the Realm Spirit remarked, glancing at Chu Mo.

"I'm interested in the answer, not the evaluation."

"If you maintain the Soul Nurturing Formation indefinitely, it would be equivalent to them being in constant meditation!" The Realm Spirit pointedly stared at Chu Mo. "But..."

"But what?" Chu Mo asked.

"But if this continues for a decade, the souls of your family and friends will completely turn into Yin Spirits! That's the second thing I wanted to tell you." The Realm Spirit looked at Chu Mo critically, "That's another reason why I advise against continuously using the Soul Nurturing Formation. Once they become Yin Spirits, they'll completely abandon their physical bodies. One day, they might be able to cultivate to extremely high levels, reverse yin and yang, and turn back into physical entities. However…if that is the case, they will no longer belong to the same race as you. Additionally, the cultivation of Yin Spirits is far crueler than you imagine - to use a simple phrase, they strengthen themselves by swallowing others. Whether they can reach that stage is really hard to say."

Chu Mo stood there stunned, unable to react for a long time.

He had heard of the Yin Spirit race with the information from the board providing a detailed introduction to this race in the world.

In the Mortal Realm, the Yin Spirit race was also known as "ghosts".

They did not possess physical bodies, only souls.

Ordinary people couldn't see them, only cultivators with a certain level of cultivation possessed the ability to see through them.

Ordinary Yin Spirits posed no threat to cultivators and had limited influence on ordinary people. Unless a person was old, weak, or sick, Yin Spirits generally couldn't get close.

However, Yin Spirits with a certain level of cultivation were a different matter. First, they possessed memories and intellect equal to humans. Second, they had numerous advantages that humans don't possess.

For example, they could pass through most obstacles, their speed of drifting was far superior to the majority of movement techniques... Moreover, their spiritual energy was often more than twice that of cultivators of the same level!

The most important thing was, they didn't have physical bodies. Normal methods couldn't even hurt them.

Therefore, the Yin Spirit race was generally seen as a race that cultivators didn't want to provoke in their hearts. Similarly, in the Illusionary God Realm, they are incredibly powerful because they are Yin Spirits, they didn't fear things like physical destruction…

In fact, becoming a Yin Spirit might not be such a bad thing.

However, most cultivation methods of Yin Spirits, just as the Realm Spirit had mentioned, involved swallowing other Yin Spirits... a cruel and ruthless struggle for survival.

Would they really wish for that?

Chu Mo took a deep breath, looking at the familiar faces around him, before stating, "I... I can't make this decision for them."

"So, whether it's for their sake or yours, you can't maintain the Soul Nurturing Formation indefinitely," the Realm Spirit advised seriously.

Chu Mo sighed, "But I don't want them to live indefinitely in a daze... even if they don't realize it themselves."

"Actually... there's another way." (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote for it, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
