Chapter 889 - 265: [Iron Spear Mountain, Pili River]
Chapter 265[Iron Spear Mountain, Pili River](6000)
The thing known as "Li Fire Copper" can be confirmed that it absolutely doesn’t exist in this world!
This item is also considered a very rare object in the Domain Realm.
In the Domain Realm, there is a type of copper ore known as Fire Essence Copper, as the name implies, it is surely a fire attribute metal ore. After mining, Fire Essence Copper can be refined and used to create various fire attribute magical artifacts.
However, everything in the universe complements and counteracts each other. In rare cases, a rare mineral will occasionally accompany the Fire Essence Copper deposits, and that is Li Fire Copper.
Although Li Fire Copper carries the word ’fire’, its attributes are actually opposite to fire, being an extremely Yin object, especially very affinity with divine sense and spiritual sense.
Yet this stuff is exceedingly rare.
It is one of the raw materials specially supplied for higher cultivators to refine artifacts—when Chen Yan was at the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect, the preparatory disciple who asked him for a favor was named...
Oh yes, Nan Qiao.
That guy came from a small cultivation family, backed by a cultivation aristocratic family, and they controlled a Fire Essence Copper ore vein for survival. Later, he relied on Chen Yan to recommend him to Nangong Sheng.
One of the conditions that guy offered at the time was that if the recommendation was successful, he was willing to offer ten pounds of Li Fire Copper as a reward.
Ten pounds, copper!
Actually, that’s not much. If displayed, ten pounds of copper would likely be just slightly larger than a grown man’s fist—of course, it’s solid.
But even this little bit, for Nan Qiao’s already fairly well-off small cultivation family, already meant tapping into the family’s reserve storage.
It shows how precious this thing is.
In the secret manuals Chen Yan studied, the artifact refining Chapter recorded some information about these materials.
The so-called Li Fire Copper actually means that in the copper ore, there is an element called "Li Fire" contained within the copper’s texture.
This fire is an extremely Yin object.
Actually, Chen Yan has a lot of this stuff on hand—the old lady left behind that [Li Huo Candle]!
He wonders what kind of divine technique the Venerable old lady used to refine the element of Li Fire into a candle.
Such items, being extremely Yin, are the finest objects for nourishing the soul and nurturing Yin spirits.

Chen Yan instinctively picked up the Soul Suppressing Lamp and carefully examined it, again using Qi Observation Skill with Primordial Qi to seep into it.
A moment later, with an unchanged expression, he placed the Soul Suppressing Lamp down.
This item... actually most of its material is just ordinary copper ingots.
However, a slight amount of Li Fire Copper was mixed in—added to the critical part of the lamp and only plated with a layer.
As for the entire Soul Suppressing Lamp, the content of Li Fire Copper inside is still far less than one-tenth of the total material.

Shen Shiqi slowly said, "This item was left behind by the old Taoist priest, it is the town’s treasured item passed down in this lineage.
The so-called Soul Suppressing Lamp has a certain array pattern engraved inside. After the caster performs a ritual, they can leave a trace of their divine sense seed in the Soul Suppressing Lamp and then light it.
Leaving the Soul Suppressing Lamp in the sect, should the person lighting the lamp go out and encounter disaster, perish unexpectedly, it will activate the effect of the Soul Suppressing Lamp.
If the deceased outside has a trace of soul and divine sense, they can follow the seed left in the Soul Suppressing Lamp back home, eventually merging into the Soul Suppressing Lamp.
Leveraging the Soul Suppressing Lamp’s function, that trace of soul and divine sense can be captured and preserved in the lamp, condensing without dissipating! If luck comes in the future, there’s even a one in ten thousand chance of reshaping the physical form.
However... that’s what the old Taoist priest told me about the original purpose of this Soul Suppressing Lamp.
He also told me that hiding souls within the lamp, waiting for a chance to reshape the physical form—such things are too unbelievable. No such great divine technique or mighty mana exists in this world.
Thus, this lamp can only be used for preserving a trace of a remnant soul inside after death—nothing else can be done, but it’s well-suited for leaving some heritage and last words."
Chen Yan chuckled, but when he looked at the Soul Suppressing Lamp again, his gaze became more solemn.
Undoubtedly, he immediately confirmed that this Soul Suppressing Lamp is definitely a magical artifact brought from the Domain Realm!
The thing called Li Fire Copper absolutely cannot be found in this world.
And using the Soul Suppressing Lamp to preserve soul and divine sense, waiting for physical form reshaping and such is impossible in this world, though perhaps not in the Domain Realm.
That old Taoist priest really had quite a mysterious background!
Though listening to Shen Shiqi’s words, the old Taoist priest might have only obtained the heritage in this world, and he himself was not from the Domain Realm.
It’s estimated... his lineage had ancestors who escaped here from the Domain Realm, bringing over some cultivation technique heritage and this magical artifact.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan glanced at Shen Shiqi: "How did this treasure from the old Taoist priest end up in your hands?"
Shen Shiqi hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Back when the old Taoist priest went to kill that Evil Cultivator, according to the tradition of the sect, he left behind the Soul Suppressing Lamp and made his own trace of divine sense guidance ritual in the Soul Suppressing Lamp.
Later, after he died, his soul and divine sense followed the guidance back to the Soul Suppressing Lamp.
But... although he managed to preserve his soul, he encountered another problem.
His soul attached to the Soul Suppressing Lamp, yet couldn’t communicate with the outside world. Occasionally, someone might light the lamp, and the old Taoist priest’s soul could emerge when the lamp was lit, but since mortals lack the Celestial Eye, they can’t see souls, much less perceive divine sense.
