367 Two-year overview, unusual circumstances
The three unsighted 'robbers' who were eliminated on the way did not have much impact on Bai Yunfei. Such people can be seen everywhere among ordinary people, and there are not a few in the soul master world.
Not to mention the three late-stage souls, even the three soul sects do not pose any threat to Bai Yunfei now.
Two years ago, he was able to kill the powerful ones in the early stage of Soul Lord. Now... he hasn't tried it yet, and he doesn't know how many he can kill for the time being.
But his strength is definitely much stronger than two years ago, and he has reached the peak state of the late Soul Sect.
In two years, from the middle stage of the Soul Sect to the peak of the later stage, this achievement shocked everyone in the sect. He had surpassed the original Jiang Fan and became the fastest disciple of the Weapon Refining Sect in the past century. However, this matter was only circulated within the Weapon Refining Sect and was not widely publicized to the outside world.
After the incident in Mocheng, everyone in the soul master world now knows that the old master Zijin of the Weapon Refining Sect has taken in an outstanding disciple. When word spread that he killed the powerful soul master with the strength of the mid-level soul sect, it also caused quite a stir. Attention, most people thought that this rookie who suddenly appeared would do a few more big things with an unstoppable skyrocketing attitude, and then join the rookie list. However, to everyone's disappointment, since the Mocheng incident, there have been no more I have never heard any rumors about Bai Yunfei. After two years, very few people even mention him.
The reason why Bai Yunfei's strength has improved so quickly is, in addition to the assistance of strengthening techniques and training pendants, the most important reason is due to the newly learned heaven-level technique, "Double Flame Art" two years ago.
This technique created by the ancestors with the supreme wisdom is almost as if it was tailor-made for Bai Yunfei. Although it was very difficult to practice in the early stage, after half a year of hard work and study, he finally achieved some success. His strength increased by leaps and bounds, and in just one year, he reached the peak of the late Soul Sect.
Yes, in fact, half a year ago, no, because it took him four months from the sect to this beast-suppressing pass, so to be precise, it should be nearly a year ago, he was already as strong as he is now, However, no matter how effective the "Double Flame Art" is, it is not abnormal enough to allow him to break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and advance to the soul master realm.
If it were so easy to advance, it wouldn't be called a bottleneck.
Being able to reach the strength of Soul Master is enough to become a strong person. Ordinary soul masters who advance from the peak of Soul Sect to Soul Master after twenty or thirty years of hard work may not be able to succeed. Even those with excellent talents may not succeed if there is no chance encounter. It will take more than ten years - of course, those who have reached the level of 'genius' are another matter. There are also many who break through the bottleneck within ten years.
Bai Yunfei temporarily stopped after rapidly advancing to the peak of the late soul sect, which made Zijin and others secretly relieved. The rapid improvement ahead was a surprise, but if he advances to the soul sect without any hindrance, it may cause trouble. Worried, after all, the advancement of every major realm is not a simple matter. Only after sufficient training and preparation can the path of cultivation be more stable.
In the past two years or so, because he focused on improving his strength, Bai Yunfei has practiced relatively little in the art of refining weapons. However, with the help of Ji Yan Jue, his success rate in refining weapons has increased. It is much larger than before, and he has refined a lot of soul weapons during this period. With his current strength, he can already refine earth-level mid-grade soul weapons. If it is higher, he will not be able to.
However, there are regulations in the Refining Sect that all the soul weapons refined by the disciples using the materials in the sect must contribute part to the sect. Therefore, in addition to the original commonly used soul weapons, Bai Yunfei added new ones. There aren't many, and many of them are useless—of course, there are also new powerful Horcruxes. For example, he spent nearly a hundred days painstakingly researching them...
As for the reason why Bai Yunfei came here, as he told Zhang Yunpeng and others before, he came here to practice on the order of his master. Originally, the rules in the Weapon Refining Sect were that one needed to reach the soul master realm to enter the soul beast forest. Looking for his contracted soul beast, but Bai Yunfei was a special case. Zijin thought that he already had the strength to break into the soul beast forest, so he sent him out and asked him to carefully choose his contracted soul beast.
The most important thing is that Zijin also issued an order, that is - before advancing to the soul master realm, you are not allowed to leave the soul beast forest...
In fact, Bai Yunfei has been very interested in the Soul Beast Forest for a long time. Especially after his third senior brother Jiang Fan brought back a six-tailed fire fox at the early stage of the sixth level from the Soul Beast Forest a year ago, he was even more envious and looking forward to it. He had his own contracted soul beast, so he didn't object to the master's orders at all. He came here with longing and was ready to start his own cultivation adventure.
Speaking of contracted soul beasts, in fact, several elders of the Artifact Refining Sect have them, but they rarely appear. Once, Bai Yunfei was lucky enough to see the second elder Huangfunan’s contracted soul beast, which was a turtle with wings. Extremely exciting.
However, Bai Yunfei vaguely heard that the third elder Cangyu's soul beast seemed to have died twenty years ago...
… …
Bai Yunfei came to the inn on the east side of the town that Zhang Yunpeng had mentioned and asked for a guest room. He happened to meet Zhang Yunpeng and others. They all had dinner together and chatted with each other for a while, then he went back to his room to rest.
In the middle of the night, Bai Yunfei was awakened by a sharp and piercing beast roar. When he rushed to the roof to observe the situation, he discovered that it was another spirit beast attack, and the one who bore the brunt was naturally a bonfire party outside the town. Wang Kun and others are here.
What came this time was actually two flying soul beasts, and both were at the early stage of level five! ! When Bai Yunfei looked over, the battle over there had already begun. The soul masters were a little flustered at first, but soon calmed down under Wang Kun's organization. Although there was no powerful soul master among those people, It was impossible to fight in the air, but there were many ways to deal with the flying spirit beasts. Many people fired long-range attacks such as flying ropes or sword energy, and quickly pulled one of them down, and swarmed up to kill it. The other one was decapitated by Wang Kun with a sword when it dived to attack.
Except for Wang Kun and those who were present at the time, the other soul masters who, like Bai Yunfei, noticed the approach of the soul beast and came out to check it out, did not take action. When the battle was over, everyone continued to go back to rest. Obviously, they were not the first to do this. experience.
Two soul beast attacks occurred in one day. Bai Yunfei had to sigh that it was indeed a soul beast forest. You must know that it is extremely difficult to find a soul beast in some mountains and forests in the empire that are known to be haunted by soul beasts. , but here you don’t have to look for it, it will be delivered to your door by itself.
However, there are some differences between these soul beasts and the Red Devil Crazy Pig and Shadow Bird that Bai Yunfei is familiar with, including the Fanjiang Rat Xiaotang that he had seen with Hongyin in Cuiliu City. These are special souls with strong intelligence. Beasts, and most soul beasts are actually no different from wild beasts in the mountains and forests. They only have the most primitive animal nature and very low intelligence. Only after being tamed by a soul master can they have some intelligence. In addition, if they advance to the sixth level Even higher, spiritual wisdom can be opened.
…
In the next two days, because Zhang Yunpeng and his companion never came, Bai Yunfei, apart from occasionally going for a stroll on the street, spent most of his time in the house studying the map of the Soul Beast Forest. The high-end goods were It was different. It was much better than looking at the drawings. Although it was still complicated and huge, it was still a headache, but at least he already understood the situation in some areas.
However, there is one thing that is special in the past two days, and that is that there have been almost no interruptions in soul beast attacks. Including the first two, there have been a total of ten soul beast attacks in three days, and the weakest ones have also been attacked. They were level four soul beasts, and the most powerful one had reached the late level of level five. Wang Kun and members of another mercenary group teamed up to successfully kill it outside the town.
Bai Yunfei thought this was a normal phenomenon at first, but then he gradually realized that there seemed to be some subtle changes in the atmosphere in the town. The expressions of the people around him were no longer as calm and relaxed as they were at first when facing the attack of the spirit beast. They all seemed to show a hint of solemnity and thoughtfulness.
It seems that something unusual is slowly coming over...
