Chapter 166 Letters From Home and the Secret Art of the Soul (Please Subscribe)

Half a month later.

On a training square, an ancient black long sword danced in the air like a spirit snake, with flashes of lightning in the whistling.

The sword qi whistled and condensed, and in a moment, it condensed into a thunder sword light of several feet, blooming with blazing thunder light.

"Boom!"

Then the thunder giant sword slashed with a bang, instantly crossing seven or eight feet away, and fell on the jade pillar standing in the square, bursting out a dazzling thunder light, with amazing power.

[You are performing the Haolei Sword Intention, Sword Control +1, Haolei Sword Intention +1]

"Haolei Sword Intention, finally succeeded!"

Zhou Ling, who was standing not far away and pinching the spell in his hand, was excited.

However, at this time, a tearing pain suddenly came from his meridians, making him clench his hands and endure the pain.

This is because the thunder attribute spiritual power in the body is exhausted, causing compression on the meridians.

[You are practicing the Haolei Sword Intention, the more you face setbacks, the braver you become, +1, Thunder attribute spiritual power +2, Five Elements Thunder Gang Body, Thunder attribute +2]

As the system prompt sounded, Zhou Ling felt the pain in his meridians gradually dissipate.

With the reward of the talent [The more you face setbacks, the braver you become], he felt that the pain was totally worth it!

Then, with a thought, the black sword was like a black lightning, passing through the void and falling back into his hands.

He exhaled lightly, walked to the jade pillar, and checked the effect of the attack.

An obvious sword mark appeared where the thunder sword fell, and there were still strands of lightning flashing in the sword mark.

You know, this is a jade pillar made of second-grade top-grade glass jade, which is extremely hard.

Even if a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building uses magic, he may not be able to hit a mark.

Observing the sword mark carefully, Zhou Ling showed satisfaction.

"The Haolei Sword Intent I just comprehended has such a power that is no less than the second-level lower-grade magic, which shows the powerful attack power of the Haolei Sword Intent."

After all, in the past half month, his Haolei Sword Intent is still at the entry level.

In the past half month, Zhou Ling, in addition to going to the Taoist temple to listen to Hu's lectures, stayed in the Jingshe most of the time, studying the inscription of the Lei Gang Sword and comprehending the Haolei Sword Intent.

Through the [Illusion Simulation], he went to the training square to practice again, simulating various fighting scenes in the illusion.

Now, after comprehending the Haolei Sword Intent, with the help of the [Sword Control] talent, the power he exerted is enough to reach the level of the second-level lower-grade magic.

However, because the Five Elements Thunder Gang Body is still in the stage of activation, the thunder attribute spiritual power in the body is limited, which also restricts the power of the Haolei Sword Intent.

And every time he performs it, it consumes a huge amount of spiritual power, which will cause tearing pain to his meridians.

Fortunately, with the [More Courageous in the Face of Frustration] talent, not only does it improve the thunder attribute spiritual power, but it also accelerates the activation of the Five Elements Thunder Gang Body.

As soon as he thought about it, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. He was sitting cross-legged in the training room.

[You are interpreting the Haolei Sword Intent, interpreting the illusion simulation +1, Haolei Sword Intent +1, Soul +3]

"I have comprehended another sword intent. Although the thunder attribute spiritual power is not enough, the power is absolutely amazing. In the future, when combined with the Hundred Swords Formation or the Five Elements Sword Formation, the power will be greatly increased!"

Zhou Ling was full of joy.

"But the thunder attribute spiritual power in the body is still a big problem. The condensed thunder spiritual power is probably not even at the third level of Qi training."

"Fortunately, it has improved very quickly during this period!"

As for the power of Haolei Sword Intent just now, it was mainly the result of the illusion interpretation simulation.

This also greatly deepened his understanding of the sword intent.

In addition to the Thunder Sword Intent, during this period, the "Qinghui Nurturing Soul Technique" has also reached the first level of perfection, and it will not take long to enter the second level.

At this time, Zhou Ling was about to operate the "Qinghui Nurturing Soul Technique" to restore the soul.

After all, every time [Illusion Simulation] is activated, it consumes the soul greatly.

Suddenly.

The sound transmission jade on his body vibrated.

Zhou Ling immediately took out the sound transmission jade and injected spiritual power into it.

"Hello Zhou Ling! I am Deacon Lu of Tiangong Division!"

A gentle voice came from the sound transmission jade.

Zhou Ling was a little surprised that it was Deacon Lu, but he quickly replied, "Hello, Deacon Lu!"

"This time I contacted you mainly to tell you that your Taoist grade review in Tiangong Division has passed."

"This year's assessment will be held in mid-December, and you must participate then!"

After a while, the sound transmission jade vibrated slightly, and Lu Yunxi's voice continued to sound.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling smiled, and Deacon Qin's recommendation was finally approved.

Next, as long as he passed this assessment, he would be equivalent to a person in the physical constitution.

This is the greatest expectation of his parents for him in this life!

Although he has joined the Tiangong Division in Lingxia Fairy City, it is only the Tiangong Division of Lingxia Fairy City.

He is not a real member of the Tiangong Division of the Dao League.

And this time, as long as he passes the assessment, he will be a member with Taoist grade in Tiangong Division.

That is to say, the real Tiangong Guard.

The treatment and status will be very different.

Then he sent a voice message, "Thank you, Deacon Lu. I wonder what preparations I should make next?"

"As long as you improve your seal cultivation and strive to refine a second-level spiritual weapon, you will have a chance to pass the assessment!"

After a while, Lu Yunxi's voice sounded again.

"Okay, Deacon Lu!"

Zhou Ling replied quickly.

Now it is just October, and there are still two and a half months before the assessment. If I consolidate it again, the success rate of refining the second-level lower-grade seal will be greatly improved.

At noon, Zhou Ling, who had just finished practicing and felt his stomach growling, walked out of the practice room.

He was just about to find something to eat.

Two figures walked in from outside the door.

Seeing the two, Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment, then said with a happy face, "Auntie Wang, why are you here?"

The people who walked in were Wang Xin and Wang Yu.

After more than a month, Wang Yu had not changed much. She was wearing a light green dress, with a calm temperament, dignified and beautiful.

"Brother Ling, congratulations! Become the leader of the foundation-building seed!"

Wang Yu sat down in the hall, glanced at Zhou Ling, and smiled.

"It's all thanks to the soul-sealing ban given by Auntie Wang!"

Zhou Ling poured Wang Yu a cup of spiritual tea and said with a bow.

If it weren't for the soul-sealing ban added to the Red Sun Inscription, it would be difficult for his Red Sun Sword to reach the second-level middle grade.

He would not be able to win the championship.

"You, kid, are getting better and better at talking!"

Wang Yu took a sip of tea and praised with a smile.

He took out a storage bag from his body and handed it to Zhou Ling, saying, "This is what your mother asked me to bring you. There are some spirit wine, beast meat, medicinal herbs, etc. in it!"

"Your parents also know that you won the first place in the foundation-building seeds of the Taoist Academy, and they blame you for not telling your family about such a big thing."

"On the contrary, they only knew about it when the Taoist teachers came to congratulate you!"

"Thank you, Aunt Wang!"

Zhou Ling took the storage bag, his eyes full of warmth.

These days, he has been busy practicing the Haolei Sword Intention and the Five Thunder Inscriptions, so he didn't send a message to his family.

The Five Thunder Inscriptions were the inscriptions he chose for He Zijian to refine the Thunder Sword.

The second-level inferior inscriptions are composed of five twenty-six inscriptions superimposed, which is very difficult.

At the same time, Zhou Ling planned to draw a thunder attribute soul-sealing ban, so even after half a month, the Five Thunder Inscriptions could not be successfully drawn.

On the contrary, the two sword embryos entrusted to Xu Qiang were made first.

In just ten days, Xu Qiang sent him a voice transmission, asking him to go to the refining room to get the Thunder Sword.

However, the sizes of the two sword blanks are different.

One sword is nearly twelve feet long and weighs more than three hundred pounds.

The other sword is three feet long and only weighs about forty pounds.

The former was made according to He Zijian's requirements, while the latter was made by Zhou Ling, who told Xu Qiang that if there were extra materials, he would make another thunder sword.

Since Zhou Ling's fame has spread in Xuanyuan Taoist Temple, Xu Qiang is also very polite to him.

All the tools that need to be refined and engraved later are also found by Zhou Ling.

Making a spiritual tool can also make him earn a lot more.

Therefore, he also wants to maintain a good relationship with Zhou Ling.

After all, there are many weapon refiners in the Taoist Temple, and Zhou Ling is unique.

Zhou Ling still recognizes Xu Qiang's level of tool making.

The quality of the two thunder swords is a few points higher than he expected.

Next, through the spiritual flame refining for a period of time, the purity of the thunder sword can be improved and the power can be increased.

As for the thunder sword stone, it should also be integrated into the thunder sword during refining.

"This Soul Yuan Pill is my gift to you for congratulations."

Wang Yu took out another exquisite pill bottle and handed it to Zhou Ling, smiling.

"Soul Yuan Pill, Aunt Wang, this is too expensive!"

Zhou Ling hurriedly declined.

The Soul Yuan Pill is a second-level pill that contains abundant soul power.

It is the main pill for foundation-building cultivators to practice and restore the power of the soul.

Zhou Ling's soul has now reached the level of the first level of foundation building, and the effect of the Soul Nourishing Pill is not very obvious.

But fortunately, the Soul Nourishing Pill refined by Wang Xin is of good quality, so Zhou Ling takes one every six or seven days, and the effect is not bad.

"Why are you being polite to Aunt Wang!"

Wang Yu smiled and stuffed the pill bottle into his hand, and then said, "Besides, if I have to thank you, I have to thank you!"

"Xin'er mentioned to me that you can help her repair the dark fire meridians in her body with the help of the Qinglian Lingyan!"

"This is not comparable to a bottle of pills!"

Speaking of the latter, Wang Yu's tone also seemed a little excited.

Over the years, she has been asking around and spent a lot of spiritual stones every year to buy various spiritual medicines and spiritual materials.

She just wanted to repair her daughter's meridians.

But the effect was minimal and in vain.

But she didn't expect that when she saw her daughter this time, she felt that the dark fire spirit meridians in her body had recovered a little.

Her daughter told her that this was the effect of Zhou Ling's use of the Qinglian Spirit Flame to assist in healing.

This made her excited and a little unbelievable.

I really didn't expect that the solution to the heart disease that has troubled me for so many years is right beside me.

Maybe this is fate.

"Healing the meridians with Xin'er is what I should do!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ling put away the pill bottle and replied.

Besides, healing with Wang Xin has many benefits for him. It not only improves the spirit flame, but also improves the fire meridians of the Five Elements Thunder Gang body.

Now the fire meridians are condensed the fastest, mainly to heal Xin'er's meridians and absorb the dark fire spirit body.

"Auntie Wang, did you just arrive in Qingyun Fairy City today?"

Zhou Ling asked again.

"Well, I just arrived not long ago!"

"Auntie Wang, let's go out for dinner now!"

"No, I have other things to do here, I just came to see you!"

"Now that you are in this situation, I feel relieved. You go and do your things. Xin'er and I will sit for a while and then leave!"

"In the future, I will rent a yard near Xuanyuan Taoist Temple and live there. When I have time, I will come to see you!"

Hearing what Wang Yu said, Zhou Ling also nodded.

Knowing that Xin'er had something to say with his mother, he returned to the training room first.

After sitting cross-legged and meditating in the training room, Zhou Ling first took out the Soul Yuan Pill given by Wang Yu.

Opening the elixir bottle, there were two black elixirs inside, with a faint elixir pattern on the surface.

With its rich medicinal aroma, you can feel the abundant medicinal power contained in it.

"Even if this Soul Yuan Dan is exchanged for at the Taoist Academy, it won't be of such good quality!"

Zhou Ling murmured with a happy face.

Soul Yuan Dan is worth a lot of money. It sells for thousands of spirit stones in the market, and it is of ordinary quality.

This kind of soul essence elixir with one elixir pattern is not only expensive, but also rare.

Even in the Taoist Academy, the exchange would cost dozens of points.

"Two Soul Essence Pills are enough to completely stabilize my spiritual consciousness, which has improved rapidly over the past few days. It may even be able to make some progress in my spiritual cultivation."

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Now with the help of [Spiritual Soul Like a Knife], his consciousness has been able to focus his soul to attack, but the power is not very powerful yet.

But as long as the soul is improved, the power will gradually increase.

However, he was not in a hurry to take the elixir, but took out the storage bag that his mother asked Aunt Wang to send.

There are no marks on the storage bag.

Zhou Ling's consciousness directly entered it.

In a moment, the contents were taken out.

Suddenly, all kinds of items were placed around him.

More than twenty jars of spiritual wine, a large pile of dried animal meat, a dozen plants, and some local specialties from Lingxia Fairy City...

"Mom, you think you have escaped!"

Zhou Ling smiled and shook his head. Qingyun Immortal City is rich in products and has everything.

Of course, things are also expensive.

Mother sent so many things here because she wanted to reduce some of his daily expenses.

Then he reached out and picked up a piece of dried animal meat and opened a jar of spiritual wine.

Follow the example of the master, pick up the jar, drink wine and eat meat.

"The spiritual wine brewed by my mother is still delicious!"

After taking a few sips, Zhou Ling put down the wine jar.

He took out another jade slip with a note and injected spiritual power into it.

"Ling'er, I'm still used to life in the Taoist Academy!"

"There's no need to rush when it comes to practicing, just take your time. You've done a good job now, so there's no need to put pressure on yourself."

"I heard that things there are very expensive. You don't have to save money. Just buy what you need."

"You kid, you won the exam and you didn't tell us."

"A lot of people here know about this!"

"Your dad is so happy!"

"Nowadays, many restaurants are buying spiritual wine from our winery. Your father and I are busy all day long."

"Your father hired two more people, all of whom were acquaintances of the original medicine-hunting team, and asked them to help deliver the wine."

"In addition, Huzi's marriage has been decided and they will get married by the end of the year!"

······．

Zhou Ling drank the spirit wine and listened to his mother's ramble.

My heart felt warm.

The situation at home is pretty good now, at least there is no need to risk going into the mountains for spiritual stones anymore.

However, the slow improvement of my parents' cultivation level is also a big problem.

But he also knew in his heart that everyone's cultivation situation is different, and there is no rush.

After a while, I finished listening to the message on the jade slip. My mother talked a lot, but she was mainly concerned about whether he was used to his daily life.

"It is better to bring my parents to Qingyun Immortal City. There is abundant spiritual energy here, which will be more helpful to their cultivation!"

Putting the jade slips and other things back into the storage bag, Zhou Ling thought about it in his mind.

However, I’d better discuss this matter with them after I get back.

After all, they have never left Lingxia Fairy City in their entire lives.

After finishing a large piece of dried animal meat, he walked out of the training room to see if Wang Yu was still there.

I saw Wang Xin alone eating cakes in the small hall.

"Aunt Wang is gone?"

Zhou Ling asked.

"My mother said she has to go find a house or something. She has a lot to do, so she should finish it first and then come see me in a few days!"

"Whether you want to eat it or not, this is the spiritual cake my mother brought me!"

Wang Xin said with joy.

Zhou Ling also picked up a piece of spiritual cake and started eating it.

······．

[You truly cultivate your meridians, cultivate the spiritual flames +, and the level of Qinglian Spiritual Flames +1]

[Your Green Lotus Spirit Flame absorbs and nourishes the Dark Fire Spirit Body, the Five Elements Thunder Gang Body +1, and the Green Lotus Spirit Flame Level +1]

In the evening, after running the Green Lotus Spirit Flame and nourishing the meridians with Wang Xin, Zhou Ling returned to the room, took out a Soul Yuan Pill and drank it.

Run spiritual power and absorb medicinal power.

[You are absorbing the power of the Soul Essence Pill, the elixir stress +1, the Soul Essence Pill power +2]

Soul Yuan Dan is a second-level elixir with a single elixir pattern, and the medicinal power it contains is already extremely powerful.

At this moment, under the effect of [Elixir Stress], the potency of the medicine has exploded.

Zhou Ling only felt a turbulent clear current pouring into the sea of ​​​​consciousness, cleaning up his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

His Zifu, which had just been opened and not yet completely condensed, became gleaming.

The soul seeds grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the "Qing Hui Nurturing Technique" automatically operates, and the second mark of "Qing Hui Nurturing Technique" in the sea of ​​consciousness also becomes brighter.

As the soul grows, "Qing Hui Soul Nourishment Technique" has also entered the second level.

I saw that the originally dim mark began to shine brightly at this time, and the obscure words on it appeared in Zhou Ling's sea of ​​consciousness.

Zhou Ling's spiritual consciousness continued to inject imprints, and he quickly comprehended the second level of "Qinghui Spiritual Cultivation Technique".

As the medicinal power was absorbed and the soul seed grew, he was able to comprehend it like a fish in water.

Some profound and obscure things that were difficult to grasp at the moment were gained after many attempts with the blessing of the talent of [More Frustration, More Courage].

This lasted for more than two hours.

The medicinal power of the Soul Yuan Pill was completely absorbed and refined by Zhou Ling.

In the process of absorption and refining, the greater gain was that the "Qinghui Yangshen Shu" opened up the second layer of meridians.

"Finally I have comprehended the secret art of the soul!"

Zhou Ling exhaled and opened his eyes, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

His aura became extremely strong, and he was completely different from before.

He clearly felt that his spiritual consciousness at this moment had more than doubled.

It was enough to reach more than two hundred feet, which was already beyond the ordinary first-level foundation-building cultivators.

Moreover, the purity of the soul was greatly improved.

This will also be of great help to him in refining inscriptions, performing sword formations, and controlling puppets in the future.

The key point is that he comprehended a soul secret technique, the soul knife.

According to what his master said when he taught him the "Qinghui Nurturing Soul Technique".

The secret technique condensed by the "Qinghui Nurturing Soul Technique" does not have specific attributes.

This is mainly related to the object of the practitioner's visualization.

"I originally visualized the fire spirit maple tree, and I have always been assisted by the talent of [Soul as a Knife].

Zhou Ling murmured.

He guessed in his heart that the soul knife secret technique he comprehended might be related to [Soul as a Knife].

Zhou Ling immediately activated the "Qinghui Nurturing Soul Technique".

The soul seed in the sea of ​​consciousness condensed the phantom of the fire spirit maple tree, and several red maple leaves had grown on it.

As the maple leaves bloomed, the red light in his sea of ​​consciousness was diffused, as if the flames were steaming.

Then, a red soul knife quickly condensed.

Released a strong soul breath.

Zhou Ling felt that if this knife was blasted out, coupled with the assistance of [Soul as a Knife], even a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building could be killed.

Zhou Ling was very satisfied with the effect, and then the Soul Sword of Sea of ​​Consciousness slowly dissipated.
