Everyone was neat and tidy, and the transaction went very quickly.
Unfortunately, I never encountered a suitable soul cultivation technique until the very end. There is no shortage of such techniques, but most of them are low-level, and there are very few high-level ones. Those that can condense a Dharma body basically only exist in legends.
Although Luo Qinglan was a little disappointed, he also knew that opportunities were not found everywhere. After leaving with Chen Lin and returning to his residence, he had recovered his mood.
"My lady, there is no need to worry. Soul cultivators have a longer lifespan than normal cultivators. You will find it if you keep looking."
Chen Lin offered words of comfort.
However, he also knew that although soul cultivation had the benefit of prolonging life, it also had many disadvantages, the most terrifying of which was the heavenly tribulation.
Not only will one encounter heavenly tribulations when reaching a higher realm, but one will also encounter heavenly tribulations when breaking through a lower realm. What soul cultivators fear the most is the extremely strong and masculine tribulation thunder. That is why high-level soul cultivators are so scarce, and no one is willing to become a soul cultivator.
"It's okay, my husband, don't worry about me. At least I am confident that I can survive the next heavenly tribulation. If that doesn't work, I can still find a node connecting to the underworld and use the power of the underworld to practice."
“No!”
Chen Lin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Although the aura of the underworld can speed up the condensation of ghosts, it will also erode the mind. There seem to be other disadvantages. Yun Xiu Niang escaped from the underworld in the first place!"
Luo Qinglan was not aware of this, and asked in confusion: "Isn't it said that the underworld is a higher realm that the souls will go to after they advance? Soul cultivators who cannot condense their Dharma bodies will eventually go to the underworld?"
Chen Lin said solemnly, "There is such a saying, but it is impossible to confirm. Anyway, there must be something abnormal in the underworld, otherwise Yun Xiu Niang would not have escaped. You can ask Alan from Wuzhen Tower about this situation later. She seems to have come out with Yun Xiu Niang, but the two chose different paths. Alan seems to have used a secret method to take over another body and rebuild."
Luo Qinglan frowned and said, "There are many restrictions on monks' possession of bodies. It's okay for monks above the Nascent Soul stage to use the Nascent Soul to possess bodies, but the success rate of ghost possession is very low, and it is difficult to achieve great success. But my husband said that Alan has been promoted to the God Transformation Stage, it seems that he does have special means."
"Um."
Chen Lin nodded.
Then he said, "It should be, but judging from Yun Xiu Niang's attitude, it seems that Alan's method is not very good. It is better to condense the Dharma body. She herself is also planning to condense the Dharma body. I feel that she should have this kind of skill inheritance, so don't worry. Yun Xiu Niang is currently trapped in the scene of King Xuanyin. After Tianxuan Day, I will try to see if I can rescue her."
"No."
This time it was Luo Qinglan's turn to flatly refuse.
She said firmly: "From what my husband has said before, the Xuanyin King scene can even trap Lord Lan. I must not go there again. If I can obtain the inheritance through other channels, I will practice. If not, it means I don't have the opportunity. I will choose other ways. If my husband insists on doing it his own way, I will not practice even if I get the inheritance!"
"Okay, okay."
Chen Lin quickly expressed his opinion.
Then he explained: "But Yun Xiu Niang had some affection for me in the past. If I have the ability, I will still go and rescue her. Of course, I will have to wait until my cultivation level improves before I can do that."
"Let's talk about it later. Anyway, try to go to the Demon Realm less often in the future. With my husband's alchemy skills, it is not difficult to obtain resources. There is no need to take risks in such places."
Luo Qinglan came to Chen Lin with a lecturing look on his face.
Chen Lin smiled and reached out to grab the other person's hand, but it was empty. He felt sad and gently clenched his hand.
Seeing this, Luo Qinglan also looked sad, but she immediately returned to normal, not wanting to make Chen Lin worry about her.
Even though countless cultivators were resistant to the interface fusion, they still could not resist the time approaching little by little.
More than half a year has passed in a flash.
In the practice room.
Chen Lin looked at the 'black stick' in front of him with an ecstatic look on his face.
After so many years of searching, the opportunity finally came. A book obtained at a previous trade fair introduced the purpose and usage of the True Soul Wood.
But it was not the high-level classic that was exchanged for the Drunken God Wine, but was found in a tattered ancient book that was exchanged for a Jindan cultivator.
The book is also a travelogue.
The entire book records the customs and habits of various places, and only three or four kinds of natural treasures are recorded, and the True Soul Wood happens to be one of them.
This made Chen Lin sigh that his talent was indeed powerful.
As long as the lines can be corrected, your wish will come true.
Now that he thinks about it, he should be grateful to the old skeleton man. Although the other party took away everything from him, he also solved the hidden danger of his innate abilities, so he no longer has to worry about his body being occupied by the reincarnation of a powerful being.
Otherwise, he would also have to worry about this matter.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin turned his attention back to the True Soul Tree.
According to the records in the travelogue, the True Soul Wood is a very rare natural treasure that only exists in very special places.
It usually takes tens of thousands of years for this thing to germinate, grow, and mature, and even for a mature form, it is extremely rare to grow flowers, so the most valuable part of this black stick is actually the True Soul Flower on it.
Chen Lin guessed that Qiu Daoxuan probably didn't expect that the True Soul Tree could bloom, otherwise he would not give up no matter how long he waited.
At least we should send someone to guard there instead of just setting up a formation.
In addition, something unexpected must have happened after Qiu Daoxuan left the Land of Gods, otherwise he would have gone back to take this thing away long ago. The nodes of the Land of Gods are fixed, and if the other party has the ability to come out, he also has the ability to go in.
After resting for a while, Chen Lin placed his palm on the True Soul Tree.
The travelogue also recorded a method of absorbing the energy of the True Soul Wood. He spent such a long time studying it before he mastered the method.
Today it has finally reached the point where it can be used, so he was overjoyed.
As the spell was performed, the energy on the roots of the True Soul Tree was refined bit by bit, and Chen Lin's soul gradually underwent a qualitative change. Unfortunately, this method of absorption required magical power support, so Luo Qinglan was unable to perform it, otherwise this item would be of great use to the other party.
This also made him think of another problem, that is, the Soul Refining Pill also needs to be swallowed and refined, and the other party might not be able to use it. The only thing that can be used is the Nine-Turn Soul Condensing Pill.
He has now used up all the soul refining pills and circumnavigating beasts on him. Whether it is exactly what he imagined or not, he still needs to refine them to confirm, but it can be regarded as leaving a hope.
After absorbing for a while, Chen Lin stopped.
The energy level in the True Soul Wood is very high, and his refining speed is limited. It would take him several days to absorb all the energy he has absorbed in a short while.
These energies are stronger than the effects of a fourth-level soul-refining pill, but they will not change the color of the soul. It is just that the origin undergoes a little qualitative change and improvement.
After a few days, the absorbed energy was refined, and Chen Lin repeated his previous actions to continue refining and absorbing.
Time passes by little by little.
Slowly, it came to a month before Tianxuan Day.
Chen Lin in the practice room opened his eyes, and his eyes became dark and deep.
As it rotates, waves of soul power surge.
In order to finish refining the True Soul Wood before the Tianxuan Day, he had to speed up, which resulted in some side effects.
But the effect is also good.
All the energy in the rhizome was absorbed completely, and his soul power strength was already equivalent to the peak of the Gintama level. As long as he underwent one more qualitative change, he would be able to reach the initial stage of Gold Soul.
However, this bottleneck is not easy to break through.
If souls are classified into levels, ordinary souls are level one, silver souls are level two, gold souls are level three, and true souls are level four.
Upgrading the soul is more difficult than improving one's cultivation. Just think about how much effort he put in to be promoted to Gintama.
Chen Lin estimated that even if he refined all of the True Soul Flowers, he could only barely reach the third level at best, which was far from the True Soul state he expected.
Therefore, he did not plan to refine this flower for the time being, but planned to find a way to refine it into a pill, so that it could maximize its value.
Too much energy would be wasted if it was refined directly in this way. It was simply a gross over-exploitation of resources. If it weren't for the fact that Tianxuan Day was approaching and he needed to improve his strength as quickly as possible, he would not have used the rhizome part.
"Madam, Master Mu, are you all ready?"
Gathering everyone together, Chen Lin asked.
"There is nothing to prepare. We have already thought of all the possible solutions. Currently, the known interfaces that can be transferred through the nodes of the Demon Realm are basically not suitable for cultivation. There is also the risk of node collapse. Most cultivators have given up this option."
Mu Xingchen has always been in charge of external affairs and has a better understanding of the situation.
Chen Lin nodded and said, "That's true. If the interface merges, it will definitely lead to the collapse of space. Then, no matter how unsuitable it is for cultivation, we have to avoid it. But now the situation is uncertain, so no matter what choice we make, it's a gamble, so let's stay in this interface."
He didn't have any good solution. His innate ability was useless for predictions of this level, so he could only choose based on his feelings.
"I am also ready, just waiting for the arrival of Tianxuanri."
Luo Qinglan spoke immediately.
All her current strength is before Suzaku Feather, and she also has a few new soul secrets that she has comprehended, so there is not much she can prepare.
Then Yang Zishi also expressed that he was ready.
As for Hua Ruyu and Xiaocao, there was nothing to prepare at all. Their lives and deaths depended entirely on Chen Lin. If Chen Lin died, none of them would survive.
"Okay, then just wait patiently!"
Seeing that everyone was in a good mood, Chen Lin nodded with satisfaction and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
When I returned to the training room, I found that Hua Ruyu had followed me.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Lin asked.
He has been observing his servant all the time. There is nothing unusual, but he is definitely not as obedient as Xiaocao and Fat Tiger. Xiaocao and Fat Tiger will never walk around without his orders, while the other servant sometimes goes out alone.
He didn't know much about the contract formed in Wanhua Valley, and didn't know whether this situation was normal, but the other party was indeed wholeheartedly helping him, and when he went out, he mostly helped him collect treasures, so he didn't reprimand him.
"Master, I went to the node of the Spiritual Demon Realm a few days ago, found the statue that Gouyu Mountain turned into, and took back his storage bag."
As soon as Hua Ruyu opened her mouth, she said something that shocked Chen Lin!
