Of course, there are other ways to delay this time, the simplest of which is to attach oneself to magical artifacts.
Relying on the spiritual energy above to delay the time of the soul's disappearance, the natal magic weapon is naturally the best choice.
At this time, the cultivator's soul is attached to the natal magic weapon, so that he can better maintain his own soul.
Previously, when Elder Chen took over Zhang Ling, his soul only relied on the golden core he had cultivated, and he did not see any special treasures to protect him.
Could it be that this person has not yet refined his own natal magic weapon? Zhang Ling looked at this pile of refining materials and couldn't help but chuckle.
Speaking of the soul-nurturing wood in his hand, its most important function is to delay the dissipation of the spiritual nature of the cultivator's soul.
This is the most magical effect of this wood. Whether it is a cultivator or a monster, as long as it is a living being, once it loses its physical body, it is like water without roots, constantly weakening until it disappears.
While the primordial spirit of the soul, demon soul, etc. dissipates, its spirituality and consciousness are also gradually disappearing.
Even with special soul-nurturing wood that can maintain the soul for a long time, it is only a temporary attachment for the soul.
Even if it can keep the soul from dissipating, the most core consciousness-related things in the soul, such as thinking and memory, will gradually dissipate or be lost, and eventually it will only become an incomplete remnant soul.
It is most terrifying when the soul no longer has thinking and memory.
Like some demonic cultivators and ghost cultivators, the soul banners and other soul banner magic weapons they refine are refined by absorbing remnant souls, demon souls, and other ghosts.
The soul is the primordial spirit of a living being. Without thinking, even if the physical body is still alive, it is just a walking corpse.
Zhang Ling put all the refining materials on the ground into the storage bag. Then he waved his hand, and another jade bottle and a black jar appeared beside him.
The jade bottle contained three Cold Jade Pills, which was his biggest gain here, and the black jar contained spiritual objects that were as important as the Cold Jade Pills for increasing the probability of forming a core.
Zhang Ling pointed at the black jar, and several spiritual talismans pasted on the mouth of the jar floated into his hand.
Without the suppression of the spiritual talismans, the black jar was immediately filled with a magma-like scarlet liquid. This was the "Fire Toad Liquid" that was taken with the Cold Jade Pill.
This was the main reason why he finally agreed to Huang Ying to exchange for the soul-nurturing wood.
This is really an unexpected surprise. Although this trip was not without danger and people died, his gains far exceeded Zhang Ling's original expectations.
With these two spiritual objects, he also had a little more confidence in breaking through to the Core Formation stage.
What's more, he also obtained those Earth Spirit Bees, whose honey seemed to have a considerable effect. These spiritual objects that increase the probability of forming a core are not ordinary things.
Finally, this desperate gamble was not in vain.
This time, many people came together. There were four people with the same cultivation level as him, and Tu Fei, who was powerful, didn't seem to be here for these things.
The remaining three people were all here for this, two of whom were killed by Elder Chen, and the beautiful woman Hong Shan escaped in the end. Only he got the Cold Jade Pill.
Zhang Ling didn't have anything to say about this. In the world of cultivation, danger and opportunity often coexist.
Life and death and opportunity, everyone's choice is different, and the gains and losses are also different. Being able to save one's life is not necessarily a bad thing.
If Zhang Ling didn't have some reliance on himself, he would have run away long ago. When fighting against Elder Chen before, if he was no match, Zhang Ling would have immediately escaped without hesitation.
Even so, he was almost taken over by Elder Chen.
Zhang Ling's thoughts turned, sighing at this trip, while continuing to check the things in the storage bag.
In addition to the spiritual objects that were directly useful to him, there were also some bottles and jars and other things in Elder Chen's storage bag, and of course there were also many books and jade slips. These things also had a lot of value.
There were several things with restrictions on them, and Zhang Ling didn't know what was inside for the time being.
At the same time, most of the space in the storage bag was filled with the corpse of the Earth Armor Beast, and the demon core was also in it. Zhang Ling showed a smile on his face when he saw these.
Elder Chen's entire wealth was in this storage bag, which can be said to be a great harvest. And these things were only exchanged for a small piece of soul-nurturing wood that was nothing to him.
After all, he had a whole plant of soul-nurturing wood in his hand.
Then he classified the things in the black storage bag, and then sat down to practice again.
……
Seven days later, Zhang Ling recovered his divine sense and spiritual power to their best. He left the nameless mountain forest in the depths and headed towards the market.
Now, his goal is to find a place with spiritual energy and safety to prepare for forming a core. As long as he enters the Core Formation stage, he will be a high-level cultivator, his strength will greatly increase, and his lifespan can be extended by five to six hundred years.
However, forming a core is not something that can be done in a short time. Zhang Ling still has some understanding of cultivators forming a core.
Generally, this process will take at least several years.
Except for cultivators with excellent talents such as the Heavenly Spiritual Root, other cultivators need enough spiritual medicine and time to break through the bottleneck. Among them, Cold Jade Pill and Fire Toad Liquid are the most commonly used spiritual objects in the Flowing Cloud Sea.
If you don't use these two spiritual objects, it's not that you can't form a core, but the success rate is pitifully low.
This bottleneck has blocked many Foundation Establishment cultivators. Some rogue cultivators can't collect the most basic spiritual objects to increase the core formation throughout their lives.
Without the assistance of spiritual objects, one hundred Foundation Establishment peak cultivators may not be able to succeed even one. Such a success rate is naturally depressing to the point of vomiting blood.
In addition to these two basic aids, you can also take other spiritual medicines when forming a core. The more types, the greater the hope of forming a core, it is said.
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Ling came to the market of Ziwu Island. He did not stay in the market, but directly used the teleportation array in the market, spent a lot of spiritual stones, and teleported away.
……
In the following time, Zhang Ling went to many islands, including small islands and medium-sized islands as large as Tianmen Island.
These islands mostly have markets and immortal cities built by cultivators. He basically enters some large and small shops every day. He buys and searches for spiritual objects that are helpful to the Golden Core in these shops.
During this period, Zhang Ling learned about many other types of spiritual objects. And the news of these spiritual objects is generally more difficult to find than Cold Jade Pill and Fire Toad Liquid.
However, he still gained something. He bought a spiritual liquid recipe in a large shop, which can prepare a rare spiritual liquid called "Yuan Ling Water".
This is a mixed spiritual water, which is somewhat similar to the auxiliary medicinal bath in the process of martial arts practice.
It takes dozens of rare spiritual herbs and three thousand-year-old spiritual medicines as medicine primers to cooperate successfully. It is said that it can increase the golden core probability by half a percent. Don't look at only about half a percent, but this is what ordinary monks can match.
This level of spiritual objects is basically impossible to find in the market, and is generally only available in some medium and large forces.
