Arriving outside the cave dwelling, Zhang Ling's mind stirred, and he sensed the second Nascent Soul within the Xuan Turtle's body.
He then knew that he had slept for three days. Counting the time he spent slightly stabilizing his realm just now, it also took a day.
A total of more than four days had passed.
With a flip of his hand, another jade box appeared. Inside was a Soul Confusion Fruit.
At that time, he picked four Soul Confusion Fruits, giving two to Dongfang Ya and Little Phoenix Fairy.
He took two, and now he has this last one left. What should he do with it?
Taking multiple Soul Confusion Fruits doesn't have much of an effect, and they can't be stored for long.
So, it needs to be taken as soon as possible.
Zhang Ling first thought of letting the Xuan Turtle take this Soul Confusion Fruit, but after frowning a few times, he gave up on this idea.
This is because the greatest effect of this spiritual fruit is on cultivation perception, but the Xuan Turtle is his second Nascent Soul, and the situation is somewhat special.
He has already taken one, and the second Nascent Soul is using it, so it may not have any effect.
There is also a hidden danger that makes Zhang Ling a little worried.
In the dream he had while taking this fruit, although he still followed the fragments of memory and embarked on the path of cultivating immortality.
Many of the experiences in the dream did not match his real experiences.
It was like reliving a life.
It was as if in the dream, he did not obtain the mysterious round bead that promoted the growth of spiritual herbs.
Nor did he refine a second Nascent Soul. He also never encountered Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird).
There are also some dreams that he can't quite remember now.
Especially in the dream, after he broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul, that period of experience was even more fantastical. Now, looking back, he can only remember some very vague scenes.
Dreams are inherently illusory. With a thought, endless changes can arise.
Moreover, there are influences such as greed, anger, ignorance, and hatred. He broke through to the Transformation God stage in the dream, and it seems that there was also an influence from this aspect.
As the saying goes, you think about something during the day, you dream about it at night. Because cultivators' souls are constantly becoming stronger, they rarely sleep. Dreams are also difficult for cultivators to control.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ling suddenly remembered. In some ancient books that record strange beasts of heaven and earth, he did see that there are several kinds of strange beasts that can control dreams.
The legendary Dream Demon can control the dreams of living beings. It can even cause powerful cultivators to die in their dreams.
There is also a strange insect, the Dream Butterfly, which is said to be able to connect the dreams of many people together, creating nightmare illusions.
He previously thought that this kind of strange beast would not exist. But at this moment, Zhang Ling feels that it may really exist.
The dream entered after taking the Soul Confusion Fruit is very real. If the second Nascent Soul is affected, it is very likely to develop an independent mind, and even suddenly rebel against him.
With this concern, Zhang Ling naturally dismissed the idea of letting the Xuan Turtle take it.
"Senior, are you there?"
Zhang Ling drove up his escape light and came to a small hill that was half the height next to it, landed under a scarlet cliff, stood in front of a dark door, and shouted inside.
Although the space of his Sumeru Cave Dwelling is not large, it also has fifty to sixty miles of space. But it is still no problem to put down two or three small mountains.
When he repaired this cave dwelling before, he transformed it into three peaks, one large and two small.
Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird) also opened up a small cave in this small space, and usually stays inside.
After waiting for a few breaths, the stone door opened a crack, and a sparrow-sized, scarlet bird flew out.
The bird glanced at Zhang Ling rather arrogantly. "What's the matter?"
Sensing that the fire spiritual power on the bird was not weak, Zhang Ling had an answer. After this guy had a body, his strength has increased rapidly during this period.
He doesn't even know how strong Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird) can exert.
"I still have a Soul Confusion Fruit left here, I wonder if the senior needs it."
"Oh, you are so kind."
"Hehe, how can the senior be so polite." Zhang Ling chuckled.
After chatting for a few words, Zhang Ling walked into Lan Que's(蓝雀: Blue Bird) cave dwelling.
The fire spiritual power inside is very violent, and the ground is covered with a layer of scarlet rock. This is the fire spirit rock that Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird) had specially collected.
Cultivators who practice fire attribute cultivation will get twice the result with half the effort in it.
Lan Que's(蓝雀: Blue Bird) cave dwelling is very simple, without any food. It looks like an empty stone cave, only with a huge round platform in the center.
The girl that Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird) is now attached to is sitting cross-legged on it again. Several birds transformed by spiritual power are hovering around her body. It looks quite mysterious.
Seeing Zhang Ling coming in, Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird) also opened her eyes. Ended the cultivation.
"Your cultivation has increased a bit, it seems that the Soul Confusion Fruit is effective."
"It's just a dream." Zhang Ling replied casually, took out a mahogany chair on his own and sat down.
Then the jade box with the Soul Confusion Fruit in his hand floated over. Landed in front of Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird), and opened with a snap.
"I didn't say I needed this kind of spiritual fruit." Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird) said very indifferently, without even looking at it.
However, Zhang Ling still felt that this guy released a little divine sense power to scan it.
It seems that it is still a bit attractive.
"The remaining one is useless to me. I'll give it to the senior."
"There is no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want to ask?"
"I wonder if I can ask about the Yuan Soul Magic Weapon that you mentioned before." Zhang Ling asked directly without hesitation, touching his chin.
"So you want to ask about this." Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird) didn't feel surprised, and chuckled.
……
An hour later.
Zhang Ling walked out of Lan Que's(蓝雀: Blue Bird) cave dwelling and returned to his own cave dwelling.
He was still holding a red jade slip in his hand, playing with it gently.
A wisp of his divine sense is invading it, carefully studying a secret technique inside. It records the refining method of the Yuan Soul Magic Weapon that he just got from Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird).
It is called, Soul Weapon Controlling Spirit Method.
The so-called, Yuan Soul Magic Weapon, is different from ordinary magic weapons. It is a treasure that is purely stimulated by the power of the soul.
When used, it is more like a divine sense secret technique, this type of attack. It is aimed at the cultivator's soul.
According to Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird), the main function of the Yuan Soul Magic Weapon is not to attack, but to temper one's own soul power.
Of course, it can also be used to attack and defend against divine sense secret techniques.
Moreover, refining a Yuan Soul Magic Weapon has many wonderful uses. Like greatly reducing interference when going deep into places that interfere with divine sense, or when trapped in an illusion.
Yuan Soul Magic Weapon, is not refined by Dan fire or other spiritual fire, like magic weapons can be refined.
Instead, special spiritual objects are integrated into the sea of consciousness, constantly tempered, and nourished by the power of the soul, to refine a Yuan Soul Magic Weapon.
Speaking of which, this is similar to the cultivator's natal magic weapon. It is also constantly tempered, and its power becomes stronger and stronger.
It's just that the Yuan Soul Magic Weapon is more difficult.
After all, the cultivator's spiritual power can be quickly enhanced, with the help of many pills and other aids. The power of the physical body can also be borrowed from external objects.
Only the soul, although it can also be strengthened step by step, it is much more difficult in comparison.
Spiritual objects that can be integrated into the cultivator's sea of consciousness are extremely rare.
Even the cultivator's natal magic weapon cannot be integrated into the cultivator's sea of consciousness.
Of course, if the physical body is destroyed, the cultivator's soul can quickly escape by attaching to the natal magic weapon.
Zhang Ling shook his hand lightly, and a small jade box appeared in his hand. The box was opened, and inside were three green lotus flowers the size of broad beans, flying around inside very spiritually like flower petals.
In the center of the small lotus flowers, there are smaller cyan-black round beads.
These are the three Quiet Heart Lotus Seeds that he got from Miss Ruolan.
Looking at the three lotus seeds, Zhang Ling frowned slightly. This kind of spiritual object is a special treasure that can be integrated into the cultivator's sea of consciousness.
However, he only got these three lotus seeds, and did not get the Quiet Heart Green Lotus that has already been formed.
According to Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird), although the three lotus seeds can also be refined into a Yuan Soul Magic Weapon, it is at most a semi-finished product.
Only the embryo of the Yuan Soul Magic Weapon can be refined.
This situation, just now listening to Lan Que(蓝雀: Blue Bird), is also very common in some special races in the spirit world.
Only by constantly nourishing it with the soul, it takes a long time to truly reach the level of a Yuan Soul Magic Weapon.
Moreover, refining a Yuan Soul Magic Weapon also has requirements for the cultivator's cultivation, to be precise, it has requirements for the cultivator's soul power.
For human cultivators, it must be at least the Nascent Soul stage. The soul power can barely meet the requirements.
If the soul is too weak, even if the special spiritual object is absorbed into the sea of consciousness, it will instead cause the soul to die due to consuming too much soul power when sacrificing the Yuan Soul Magic Weapon.
Zhang Ling doesn't have to worry about this aspect. He wears soul nourishing wood on his body, and has been practicing the Nine Yuan Soul Refining Technique. His current soul power is definitely not weaker than a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and may even be a little higher.
What he is having trouble with now is.
Refining a Yuan Soul Magic Weapon consumes a lot of mind, which takes more time and effort than cultivating a natal magic weapon. If it is just an embryo, it is not of much help to him now.
Of course, directly carrying the three lotus seeds on his body can also reduce the interference of inner demons during normal cultivation.
If it is just like this, Zhang Ling feels that it is a waste of natural resources.
He studied the jade slip in his hand carefully for a while.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh and stood up. He remembered that he still had another extremely similar spiritual object in his hand.
Zhang Ling immediately activated his cultivation technique, and a layer of yellow light shone on his body, performing the earth escape technique, directly passing from the ground under his feet to the ground.
A moment later, he came to a small stone room. The front is misty, shrouded in a layer of white mist. It is transformed by pure spiritual power.
This is the most important area of the Sumeru Cave Dwelling, the core of the mountain's spiritual veins.
In the center of the stone room, there is a spiritual spring, gurgling with white mist, he can hear the sound of rushing water.
However, the water flow is not large. This is the spiritual spring eye here. Although the area is not large, it looks like an ordinary spiritual spring, but the quality is good. It is a top-grade spiritual spring.
With this spiritual spring, the spiritual vein intensity in the Sumeru Cave Dwelling has also reached the top-grade spiritual vein.
Zhang Ling waved his hand gently, and a gust of wind dispersed the spiritual mist in front of him, then he reached out and grabbed a yellow pebble from the spiritual spring water.
This is not an ordinary pebble, but the top-grade spiritual eye stone that was obtained from the Tianyuan Secret Realm before. There is also a transparent black lotus flower growing on it.
It is that Rootless Lotus.
Originally, he got four Rootless Lotus Seeds, he took two to change his aptitude.
He also let Xuan Turtle take one, and only the last Rootless Lotus was left. Once the five Rootless Lotus is taken, it will disappear.
So he didn't move the last Rootless Lotus Seed(无根莲莲子: Rootless Lotus Seeds).
Instead, in these years, the Rootless Lotus has been constantly devouring the spiritual power of the top-grade spiritual eye stone, and a second lotus seed has been produced.
This is also why he wanted to collect spiritual eye objects before, wanting to cultivate Rootless Lotus.
Before, he also used the mysterious round bead to test the spiritual liquid for promoting plant growth, but it had no effect on the Rootless Lotus.
This kind of spiritual object grows slowly. Even in the land of top-grade spiritual veins, it may take hundreds, or even tens of thousands of years to regenerate the third lotus seed.
Although he often pays attention to this matter, he doesn't have much hope.
But now Zhang Ling has an idea in his mind, the Rootless Lotus is also an extremely special spiritual object, maybe it can also be integrated into the sea of consciousness and refined into a Yuan Soul Magic Weapon.
With this idea in mind, Zhang Ling's thoughts could not be dispelled. He directly took the Rootless Lotus and instantly performed the earth escape technique, and went to the cultivation room, intending to study it carefully.
One day, two days, time passed bit by bit.
……
Until half a month later.
In the cultivation room, Zhang Ling sat cross-legged, and his body was surrounded by a layer of cyan-black strange spiritual light. As the spiritual light flickered, a cyan-black vertical line lit up at the center of his eyebrows.
It didn't last long, and the black-cyan spiritual light on his body was all absorbed into the vertical line at the center of his eyebrows like a river flowing into the sea.
The vertical line at the center of Zhang Ling's eyebrows became more and more enchanting, looking like a third eye.
If there were cultivators next to him, releasing their divine sense to investigate, they would be immediately swallowed by the vertical line at the center of his eyebrows.
At this moment. There is no change in the spiritual power on Zhang Ling's body, but the divine sense power is constantly radiating. In the sea of consciousness, the phantom transformed by Zhang Ling's soul is chasing a black-cyan lotus flower.
The lotus flower is very spiritual, constantly flying up and down, avoiding his capture.
But this is Zhang Ling's sea of consciousness. With a thought, gray-white misty chains emerged from the misty sea of consciousness, constantly blocking the lotus flower's actions.
The black-cyan lotus flower rotated smoothly, and suddenly burst into cyan light, releasing a large amount of cyan light.
The chains transformed by the power of divine sense, as soon as they approached, seemed to be frozen, and fixed in mid-air.
Zhang Ling's soul phantom shivered, the clear light released by this lotus flower contained a special chill, which made his divine sense a bit frozen.
The black lotus flower swayed left and right a few times, broke free from the encirclement, and flew away into the distance.
Zhang Ling's soul phantom chased after him tightly.
The outside body was also affected, and couldn't help but shivered a few times. A cold sweat appeared on his face.
This state lasted for an unknown amount of time, until at a certain moment, Zhang Ling opened his eyes. The black-cyan slit at the center of his eyebrows flashed with cyan light, and a black-cyan strange lotus flower flew out directly.
This lotus flower is just a phantom, with only six petals. Blooming little by little.
The center of the lotus flower is surrounded by a flame-like cyan glow.
With a thought in Zhang Ling's mind, the cyan glow immediately transformed into a huge cyan dragon, quickly circling in the air.
Suddenly he raised his hand slightly, and the cyan dragon transformed into a shining cyan flying sword, shuttling quickly.
A moment later, the cyan flying sword exploded, turning into cyan light spots as thin as hair.
Enveloping Zhang Ling within, the specks of light coalesced once more, forming a massive azure tiger, a resounding roar echoing in the ears.
The reverberation caused a painful throbbing in the eardrums.
