Chapter 2578 Super Compression

The key to the Blood Spirit Distillation was to use the spirit of a material to refine it. This process purged all impurities and waste, leaving behind only its absolute essence.

The "spirit" in question wasn't exactly the "soul" of the being but rather the essence that defined its existence. It was the remnant of a soul left behind in the corpse and flesh, bound to it and unable to part. A true soul, by nature, is flexible and can adapt to become any being in existence, but a "spirit" anchors it to its current form.

For instance, a soul could incarnate as a plant in one life, an insect in another, a dog in a third, and perhaps a human in a fourth. What defined them in each incarnation was the "spirit," which conformed the soul to its present existence. This spirit was bound to the corpse and was the origin of the bloodline.

What was a fierce dragon in one life could very well lose its bloodline and reincarnate as a common weasel in the next. This is why the refinement of Bloodline Essence Crystals and the Blood Spirit Refinement shared such striking similarities—their roots were essentially the same.

Given these parallels, there were bound to be commonalities in their methods. When Lin Mu first learned these techniques from the Withered Spirit Daoist's memories, he had been surprised by how similar they were to the refinement of Bloodline Essence Crystals. Having performed the latter a few times, Lin Mu was confident in his ability to handle the process.

By combining his own experiences with the expertise gleaned from the Withered Spirit Daoist, Lin Mu's chances of success were significantly enhanced. The only lingering doubt was whether the celestial-level method would work perfectly in the immortal realm. Even the Withered Spirit Daoist had never attempted it, so Lin Mu had no way to confirm its success beforehand.

"The third step is basically done," Lin Mu muttered as he glanced at the liquid marrow.
