A Farmer's Journey To Immortality - Chapter 539: Consuming the Celestial-grade Anaadi Soul Nourishing Pill for the Second Time
Chapter 539: Consuming the Celestial-grade Anaadi Soul Nourishing Pill for the Second Time
Aksai glanced at the small snake again. It looked so harmless. So peaceful.
However, he understood. This wasn’t just some pet or cute little demon companion. This demon snake was very special. Something with potential.
He let out a quiet chuckle and looked up at the sky above the farm’s illusionary twilight.
“Well then,” he said with a smirk. “Let’s see what kind of legacy you really are, little one.”
Aksai then quickly decided to create a special place for his demon snake. He disappeared from his place and appeared at another corner of the Enchanted Everwood Farm. The farm’s space had increased once again after Aksai entered the late-stage of the Foundation Building realm. As such, he had enough space to start new projects.
In the next moment, he stood at the edge of a quiet patch of land within the Enchanted Everwood Farm, his little green demon snake wrapped around his wrist like a living bracelet. Its tiny head poked out curiously as it flicked its tongue, eyes scanning the surroundings with interest.
“This should be a good spot,” Aksai said with a nod.
Yelia stepped beside him, her long hair gently swaying in the breeze. “Secluded enough. No other pet demon beasts or puppets come here. Let’s begin.”
Without waiting, Aksai placed his palm on the ground and channeled his druidic wood-element Spirit energy. Vines slowly crawled across the soil, carving natural outlines in the dirt. Large roots sprouted from beneath and bent upward to form arched walls, curving around like a protective dome.
Yelia raised her hand next. Soft green light flowed from her fingertips, encouraging small Spirit plants to grow. Gentle moss spread across the ground like a thick carpet. Tall ferns sprang up in the corners, forming shady spots for rest. She even summoned some flowering vines to give the place a peaceful scent.
The demon snake watched with wide, curious eyes, its head shifting this way and that as the place changed around it.
“We’ll make a burrow,” Aksai said. He pushed his hands into the soil. The ground rippled like water before parting, forming a small underground den. It was the perfect size for the demon snake to curl up in, cool and dark but safe.
Yelia added a few glowing mushrooms along the entrance, providing soft light.
Aksai then waved his hand again. A small stream of Spirit water began trickling through a groove in the soil, winding around the area like a lazy river. On one side, he carved out a little shallow pool.
“For bathing,” he said with a serious face.
Yelia chuckled faintly. “My liege, you’re spoiling your pet already.”
“It should be fine,” Aksai said. “After all, if this little thing suddenly becomes stronger than me some day, it’ll see me in a good light. I’m just investing in the future.”
Once the space was complete, Aksai reached into his storage ring and released several tiny Spirit rats—fast, harmless little creatures that scurried around the newly created enclosure.
“They’ll keep it sharp,” he said. “Let it hunt. Build instincts.”
The snake immediately slipped off Aksai’s wrist and slithered after the rats with surprising speed. It lunged forward and caught one in a flash, then flicked its tongue with joy.
Yelia watched quietly. “It’s already adapting.”
Aksai crossed his arms, eyes following the little beast. “Let’s let it grow at its own pace now. At least for a little while until I find ways to trigger the evolution.”
Aksai said before leaving the little demon snake to its devices.
***
After a few hours.
Enchanted Everwood Farm.
Aksai stood in front of the door to his meditation room inside the farmhouse. The light from the eternal twilight sky outside poured in through the windows, bathing the polished wood in a soft golden hue.
In his hand, he held a small jade box. Inside was a single glowing pill—the Celestial-grade Anaadi Soul Nourishing Pill.
Aksai had received this type of pill as one of the rewards from the Holy Land Torel for clearing the 7th stage of the cave test. The pill might not be as special as the egg he had received but it was very close to it.
He had already consumed the pill once. But it had limited effects as he had consumed it in haste without doing any form of pre-processing to the pill. But after meeting Velia, he understood the pill’s real benefits and how to tap into them. He had also received another pill from Velia as a bonus at the same time.
He turned to Yelia, who stood calmly beside him, her expression patient but alert.
“I’m finally going to take it,” Aksai said, his tone steady but not without a hint of nervousness. “If anything goes wrong, you’ll be here, right?”
Yelia nodded without hesitation. “Of course, my liege. I’ll watch over you. Your Soul Realm is stronger now. And with your Wisp Mastery, you’re more prepared than ever.”
Aksai gave her a small smile before stepping into the meditation chamber.
The room was simple yet elegant, with smooth stone walls etched with wood-element runes. The floor had a soft Spirit moss carpet, and a low platform stood at the center. He sat down cross-legged and placed the jade box in front of him.
He took one last breath, opened the box, and picked up the pill. It was pearl-like in appearance and gave off a faint, warm light. A scent like early morning dew and old trees filled the air the moment he held it close.
The pill’s look had been altered a bit and its benefits were enhanced after Velia told Aksai how to soak the pill in various Spirit resources that he could grow on his Enchanted Everwood Farm. Aksai had listened to Veila’s suggestion and soaked the pill in various Spirit liquids he obtained after sacrificing a lot of his precious Spirit herbs.
In short, Aksai had already invested a lot in the pill. Even though the pill was said to be of the celestial-grade, its effects could still be improved a bit by Velia’s estimation. She had said that even a bit of improvement in the celestial-grade alchemy product was a big thing.
Thus, Aksai had decided to invest in the pill after weighing his pros and cons.
“Here goes nothing,” he muttered before placing the pill into his mouth.
The pill dissolved as soon as it touched his tongue. Its warmth flooded his body instantly, but it was not just warmth—it was something deeper. Something ancient. A soft hum echoed through his bones and his soul.
Yelia watched as a faint glow surrounded him.
Aksai closed his eyes.
The world around him disappeared.
Inside, his Soul Space burst open with energy. The empty world within Aksai’s dormant Aether essence represented by the calm sea and the cloudless sky, stretched and expanded like rippling water pushed outward.
New edges of awareness bloomed. Old restrictions cracked and faded away. The space around his soul now pulsed with the beat of his heart.
Then something unexpected happened.
A flash of blue light appeared within the Soul Space. Symbols lit up in patterns he hadn’t seen before. A transparent screen rose in front of him, hovering in the air. The font was clean and glowing.
Neural Link Fabric v2.7 detected anomaly caused by the Celestial-grade Soul Expansion. Upgrading system architecture. Please remain still.
Aksai blinked, stunned. “You’re evolving too?”
Yes. Synchronizing host Soul Space with deeper computational pathways. Estimated upgrade time: 3 hours. Effects may include increased cognitive sharpness, parallel thought processing, deeper runic decryption, and enhanced memory projection.
Aksai’s eyes opened wide in surprise. Spirit resources from Dadangar could not only affect but also upgrade the Neural Link Fabric which was the blessing he had received from his previous world.
Although he didn’t think it was impossible, it still surprised him. He guessed that perhaps, the Neural Link Fabric was the one taking the lead this time. It was using the changes within his soul as a fuel to enhance itself.
He chuckled softly. “Well, this turned out better than expected.”
Back in the real world, Yelia remained still behind him, eyes half-closed as she monitored his Spirit aura. She could sense the changes happening within him. His Spirit signature was shifting—calmer, broader, and deeper than ever before.
“He’s really pushing the limits,” she whispered, placing her hand near his back. A soft green glow flowed from her palm, helping stabilize the wild soul energy bursting within him.
Aksai, in his deep meditative state, didn’t feel any danger. For the first time in a long while, he felt… peace. Like he had broken through something that had been pressing down on his mind and soul for years.
Hours passed slowly, but the change was steady.
And Aksai sat at the center of it all, surrounded by quiet power, while Yelia stood like a watchful guardian by his side.

AN: The Anaadi Soul Nourishing Pill was first introduced in chapter 415.
Snakes don’t have ears—but they can still hear.
They sense vibrations through their jawbones, which are in contact with the ground. So they can “hear” your footsteps without hearing a sound.
