Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 21: Soul Refining Bead (Part 2)
The Soul Refining Pearl can also be regarded as a famous treasure in the cultivation world.
It originated in ancient times. It was first said to be invented by a cultivating sect called the Soul Sect. The Five Gods Sect in later generations is said to be passed down by the descendants of the Soul Sect.
The Soul Sect is best at raising souls, refining souls, frightening souls, and moving souls. Their techniques are weird, but the sect itself is not an evil sect.
The main purpose of their intensive study of soul nourishment is to pursue eternal life.
Although practitioners can live forever, it is difficult to live forever. Even those who have cultivated to the level of Immortal Power can only live for thousands of years at best, which is far from eternal life.
Although there are methods such as reincarnation and body seizing in the cultivation world, they all have their own restrictions, and they must be used by at least powerful people above the Zifu level.
But whether it’s reincarnation or taking over one’s body, the body is destroyed but the soul remains.
Without a body, it is difficult for a soul to exist for a long time between heaven and earth. It will eventually either dissipate or turn into a ghost. Therefore, after the death of the body, a host must be found as soon as possible.
However, it is difficult to find a host body. Not only does it need a body that matches itself, but more importantly, the soul will spontaneously resist. Having lost his original power, even if the person who takes the body is extremely powerful, he may not be able to win over the original owner. As for reincarnation, there is even a risk of not being able to recover memories.
Therefore, no one is willing to use this kind of secret method unless it is absolutely necessary.
In order to seek eternal life, the Soul Sect studied the method of raising souls and transferring souls, in order to reduce the danger and demand of secret methods such as reincarnation and body seizing. The soul **** was created on this basis.
The original purpose of its creation was actually to store souls, so it was originally called the Soul-Sending Bead.
Through the Soul Bead, the Soul Sect can temporarily store the soul of the deceased and slowly find a suitable carrier, thus solving the problem of waiting. In addition, soul beads can nourish and strengthen the soul, creating better conditions for seizing the body.
However, the creation of the Soul-Residing Bead failed in the end. Although the Soul Sect created the Soul-Residing Bead, they found that this object was so evil that the soul would suffer tremendous pain in it, and under long-term torture, it would form similar A ghost-like existence, completely deranged and extremely crazy. It is for this reason that later generations called it the Soul Refining Hell.
Shortly thereafter, the Soul Sect sealed the object and no one was allowed to use it again.
Originally, the matter ended here. As a failed work, no one took it to heart.
Unexpectedly, the Soul Sect later turned out to have a rebellious disciple, who was the famous Soul Seizing Lord.
Of course, the True Lord Seizing Soul at that time was really just a young disciple of the Soul Sect, but he was only in the realm of transcendence. But such an extraordinary disciple actually entered Tianji Pavilion at night and stole a large number of treasures from the Soul Sect, including the Soul-Residing Pearl.
Afterwards, the Soul Sect sent a large number of masters to hunt down, but the traitor escaped and even killed several masters, including an elder Tianxin. It was at this time that the Soul-Residing Pearl shone brightly and became the soul-stealing true king. This is a great killing weapon in his hand, and the name True Lord Seizing Soul comes from this.
No one expected that the soul-stealing Lord would actually improve the soul-gathering beads and create such a vicious thing as the soul-stealing evil spirit.
The so-called spirit-stealing evil spirit means that after the soul is tortured inside the bead, it will eventually turn into an extremely ferocious evil spirit with all its sanity lost. Once this evil spirit is released, it will instinctively attack any nearby life and seize its body.
Many of the preparations originally required to seize the body are not needed here, and all dangers are ignored, because what the Seizing Soul needs is to escape from the soul hell, even if it is wiped out, it will not hesitate.
For this reason, the success rate of such ferocious beasts in seizing a body is very, very low, and it is almost impossible to succeed. Their seizing of a body is more like a moth flying into a flame at any cost.
But in the process of seizing the body, the winner can still resist as long as he resists, but it will be difficult to fight wholeheartedly.
At this time, a surprise attack by the Soul-Seizing Lord can often achieve miraculous results.
And if the body is taken away successfully, the person whose body is taken away will also become a demon, a powerful and ferocious terrifying existence. And because of the innate fear of the soul bead, he only obeys the orders of the person holding the soul bead. people.
From then on, the Soul-Residing Bead became the Soul-Refining Bead and became a famous treasure at that time.
However, although the soul-stealing true king was cruel, he gradually became exhausted in the face of the pursuit of the soul sect. He finally died in a fierce battle at sea. After his death, he was thrown into the sea. Most of the treasures were lost. The whereabouts of the soul-refining bead has never been known.
After experiencing this battle, the Soul Sect was severely damaged. Soon after, it was destroyed by its enemies, and the method of making the Soul Bead was lost.
I didn’t expect that today, after thousands of years, it would fall into Tang Jie’s hands.
Looking at the soul refining bead in his hand, Tang Jie was also filled with sighs.
This bead carries too much blood and slaughter, and the **** storm caused by it has long become a legend in history.
Even Tang Jie didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse if he got it.
But no matter what, the beads are destined to be of great help to me at least now. According to the records in the bead, the use of the Soul Refining Bead is extremely simple. You only need to know how to control the circulation of spiritual energy to use it freely.
So Tang Jie took the bead and used his spiritual power in accordance with the law. He saw the soul of the lynx in the soul refining bead turning around and wailing in it, shrieking miserably. Tang Jie soon felt a warm current gushing out of the bead.
Tang Jie tried to guide the warm current into the demon soul. The next moment, the lynx demon soul stopped wailing and gradually calmed down. It only occasionally twitched a few times, as if to remind Tang Jie that the pain still existed.
After a while, the cat demon soul finally moved completely, as if it had solidified. At this time, there was still a small half of the warm current, but it could no longer be injected.
Tang Jie stopped controlling the warm current, and with a slight shake of his hand, the cat demon's soul stretched out like gel and flowed out of the bead, landing in the palm of Tang Jie's hand, but it was no longer fierce, and looked more... Like a miniature jelly-like bobcat toy.
Tang Jie knew that this should be one of the functions of the Soul Refining Bead: to condense soul.
The Soul Refining Bead, improved by the Soul Seizing Lord, has two basic abilities: soul refining and soul condensation.
Among them, soul refining means refining the soul, which means refining the demon soul detained in the bead through magic fire sacrifice.
Because the Soul Refining Pearl has been transformed by the Soul-Seizing Lord, the soul **** here is more terrifying than before. Just giving enough spiritual energy can produce endless magic fire and melt the soul.
After seven, seven and forty-nine days of refining, these souls either cannot survive and turn into soul liquid, or they survive and become evil spirits.
The former is a rare and rare material, and the latter is the famous God-taking Sha!
Condensing soul is just the opposite. It absorbs materials into the soul and creates some strange things. The specific effect depends on the absorbed materials and the refined soul.
The soul refining bead absorbed a whole square of soft jade before, which met the needs of condensing soul. The warm current that Tang Jie felt just now came from the absorbed soft jade, so Tang Jie only used it a little, This cat demon soul was condensed.
But how to use the condensed demon soul next, I didn’t remember it in the beads, and Tang Jie didn’t know either. No matter how he fiddled with it, the lynx jelly didn't even move. Tang Jie struggled for a long time and couldn't figure out its function.
On the contrary, after the bead lost its soul, it returned to its original soul-stirring state. Tang Jie was shaken. Fortunately, he was prepared this time and took out a jade box to put away the bead.
As soon as I put away the soul refining beads, Yiyi's voice sounded in my heart: "Brother, the demon fox is here!"
Since the little guy went to the mountain stream to set off the Jingmen flag, he has been hiding nearby and is responsible for monitoring the Xiangji Cave area.
Tang Jie and the others are fighting lively here, and Xiangji Cave will come over if they get wind of it.
Hearing this, Tang Jie said: "How much?"
"It seems that the three demon generals have come over, but no fox is seen."
"Got it." Tang Jie turned around and walked towards where he came from.
At this time, the battle between Qin Zhou and others and those monsters was coming to an end.
Although there were a lot of monsters and all of them were brave, Qin Zhou was also a person who had transcended the mortal realm. Coupled with the fierceness of the little tigers, he finally wiped out all the little monsters after a hard battle.
After just one battle, everyone was exhausted. Chen Yao couldn't even stand and sat down on the ground.
Zhang Chengyun has shouted: "Get out of here quickly. If the lynx demon comes back, I'm afraid we won't even be able to leave."
Ling Jing was surprised: "What should Tang Xuan do?"
Zhang Chengyun replied: "He fought against the cat demon, and I'm afraid he's dead now. Who cares what he does."
"No!" Luo Yin objected loudly: "He helped us lure away the cat demon. We can't just sit back and do nothing. We should go find him!"
"You're crazy. The war has started. Xiangjidong will come at any time if there is news. If we don't leave now, something will change later!" Zhang Chengyun was also anxious.
"So you just left Tang Xuan alone?" Ling Jing asked: "Elder brother, don't forget that he saved us."
Qin Zhou immediately stopped. He also knew that if Tang Jie had not lured the cat demon away, everyone would have died. However, it was too dangerous to turn back for rescue. He was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
While hesitating, the sound of wind rushing through the forest in the distance was heard.
Everyone's expression changed at the same time, knowing that it was probably the cat demon. They missed escaping this time. With the speed of the lynx, everyone must not be able to get away. Everyone was desperate in their hearts, but Xiaohu came towards him excitedly. Pounced on the sound.
I saw Tang Jie's figure appearing from a distance, coming steadily towards this side.
He had just experienced a battle, and his body was somewhat stained with blood, but he did not show any panic, and remained calm and calm, as if he had just slaughtered a chicken or a sheep.
The five people stared in surprise, unable to believe what they saw.
"It's him...Is he still alive?" Qin Zhou murmured.
"What about the lynx demon? Where is the cat demon?" Chen Yao asked.
"You are so stupid, you still need to ask?" Luo Yin pouted: "Look at him, he doesn't look like he is being chased by a cat demon. In that case, the lynx demon is naturally dead."
"How is this possible? That is a monster in the enlightened stage, even Senior Brother Qin may not be able to defeat it!"
However, whether they believe it or not, the facts are before their eyes.
Seeing Tang Jie Shi Shiran coming over, Qin Zhou said bitterly: "After all, I still underestimated others. It turns out that we are the ones who overestimate our capabilities!"
He asked himself if he had to fight the lynx demon one-on-one, there was no chance of winning. Even if he finally won, he would probably be seriously injured. Compared with Tang Jie's relaxed appearance, Qin Zhou would have problems if he didn't understand how big of a mistake he had made. .
At this moment, Tang Jie walked over and threw the handful of white poria to Qin Zhou.
"What does this mean?" Qin Zhou was stunned for a moment.
"One life, two pills." Tang Jie replied.
Qin Zhou was stunned. He finally understood what Tang Jie meant.
Obviously, Tang Jie is going to get something in return.
No wonder Tang Jie said that before~IndoMTL.com~The emotional protection fee was not collected from him by Cangshan Sect, but he collected it from Cangshan Sect.
Understanding what Tang Jie meant, Qin Zhou couldn't help but secretly sigh that this was the fault of everyone, so he could only nod his head and said, "Okay, I'll count it as three. Brother Tang saved five of my lives... Count it as ten."
As he said that, he took out a bottle of pills from his arms and threw them to Tang Jie: "There are five Heqi Barrier-Breaking Pills in this bottle, and there are eight more that I can't give to you until I get back to the faction."
Tang Jie said: "I have enough five pills. Luo Yin and Ling Jing's four pills are cancelled. The remaining four pills can be exchanged for other equivalent items."
As soon as he said this, Qin Zhou knew that most of the previous conversations between them, including Zhang Chengyun's abandonment, his own hesitation, and Luo Yin's insistence, had already been known to the other party, so he canceled Luo Yin's conversation. A member of Yin and Ling Jing.
Understanding this, Qin Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
He thought to himself that he had been a chivalrous and heroic man throughout his life, but he was hesitant and hesitant about what happened today. He was neither righteous nor heroic, and was not as decisive as a little girl. At this moment, he felt extremely ashamed, and did not say much, and threw out another Several bottles of elixirs were handed to Tang Jie and said: "Thank you Mr. Tang for your righteousness. We were blind before, so I hope we didn't offend him."
"You're just a student, how can I say it's offensive." Tang Jie said calmly.
"Are you really just a student?" Qin Zhou was stunned.
"Yes." Tang Jie nodded, and the Cangshan disciples looked at each other, speechless.
Tang Jie said: "The monster from Xiangji Cave has arrived. If you still don't leave, are you waiting to pay the protection fee again?"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Zhou and others were also frightened. They did not dare to delay any longer and turned around and ran away together.
After walking a few steps, Luo Yin turned around and saw Tang Jie still standing there.
She shouted: "Tang Xuan, aren't you leaving?"
"I'll take another way." Tang Jie replied: "It's easier to escape this way."
Everyone left without any doubt.
