Chapter 251 Extraction
Seeing the detailed introduction of the Soul-Enriching Cushion in the system, Xiao Ling could not help but feel a surge of joy in his heart. When he first saw the name of the item, he simply thought that the Soul-Enriching Cushion was just an ordinary item, but after a closer look at the introduction, he realized that this thing must be extraordinary.
If Xiao Ling remembered correctly, the Soul-Enriching Cushion could infuse both Yuan Force and Spiritual Force into it, forming a powerful Yuan Jing force. This effect was due to the ancient Qiankun formation sealed inside.
Xiao Ling thought to himself, it's a pity that he can't get the array plate of the Qiankun Ancient Array, but if he can get both of them, he can merge the Qiankun Ancient Array and the array plate sealed in the Yunshen Futuan, and become the Qiankun Ancient Array Plate ranked fifth in the Ancient God Object List. As for whether he can get the array plate of the Qiankun Ancient Array, it depends on whether the system can bring surprises in the future.
With a thought, a soft white light flashed, and a divine cushion emitting an ancient atmosphere appeared in Xiao Ling's hand. Its surface was engraved with complex and mysterious runes, which seemed to contain some profound power.
Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on the futon in his hand. The futon had an ancient yellow color that had been accumulated over the years, giving people a feeling that it had been through the baptism of countless years.
The cool energy emanating from the inside of the cushion did not have much effect on the fighting spirit in Xiao Ling's body, but when his soul power came into contact with it, it was as if he had touched a stream of clear spring water, which lifted his spirits and made him feel an indescribable freshness and tranquility.
Xiao Ling's fingers gently stroked the runes on the Yunshen cushion, feeling the cool energy flowing through his fingertips. He pondered for a moment and said to himself, "On the Douqi Continent, the fusion of Douqi and soul power produces an energy body similar to Yuanjing power. This is an interesting idea. Although there is no Yuanli here, the essence of Douqi and Yuanli should be close enough, maybe we can really try it."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with excitement, and he was full of anticipation for this new attempt. Xiao Ling knew that if he could successfully fuse his fighting spirit and soul power to produce an energy body similar to the power of essence, then his strength would have a qualitative leap.
Xiao Ling decided to give it a try. Xiao Ling closed his eyes, grabbed the futon with both hands, and began to mobilize the fighting spirit and soul power in his body. He slowly introduced the fighting spirit into the soul-enhancing futon, and at the same time, injected soul power into it. With the injection of the two powers, the runes on the futon began to emit a faint light, and the entire futon seemed to be activated, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
Xiao Ling could feel that the fighting spirit and soul power had a wonderful interaction inside the futon. They intertwined and merged with each other, gradually forming a new energy. This energy had both the domineering and passionate fighting spirit and the delicate and profound soul power. It circulated inside the futon, constantly being compressed and condensed.
As time went by, Xiao Ling felt that the energy inside the cushion was becoming stronger and stronger, and he could feel the potential contained in this energy.
Xiao Ling realized this and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart. His intuition told him that his previous speculation was correct. The Qiankun Ancient Formation sealed in the Yunshen Futu did have the ability to fuse Dou Qi and soul power to form a special energy similar to Yuan Jing power.
However, just when Xiao Ling was excited about this, he accidentally lost the precise control of the input of fighting spirit and soul force. His mood swings led to an imbalance of power.
"laugh!"
Suddenly, the light on the futon flashed, followed by a slight sound, and the fighting spirit and soul power that had begun to merge dissipated in an instant. This scene made Xiao Ling smile bitterly. He realized that he still needed to stay focused. He whispered to himself: "It seems that I have to concentrate more."
Xiao Ling shook his head, putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and his expression became extremely focused. He began to carefully control his fighting spirit and soul power, ensuring that they could be balanced and injected into the Qiankun Ancient Formation in the futon. In this process, he used the energy of the ancient formation to gradually merge his fighting spirit and soul power.
In the training room, Xiao Ling's figure appeared particularly quiet in the soft light. His eyes were firm, and his hands slowly moved above the mat, as if he was performing a delicate ritual. Every time his palms were raised and lowered, they were accompanied by the precise input of fighting spirit and soul power. The power slowly flowed inside the mat, gradually forming a new energy form.
As Xiao Ling continued to try and adjust, the runes on the mat began to emit brighter light. They were like ancient creatures that had been awakened, releasing powerful energy fluctuations. These fluctuations reverberated in the training room, resonating with Xiao Ling's aura, filling the entire space with a mysterious and powerful aura.
Xiao Ling was full of anticipation at the moment. He was trying a new method of cultivation that had the potential to push his strength to a whole new level. He believed that this method of cultivation would continue to be effective even when his strength increased greatly in the future.
After all, as far as Xiao Ling knew, no one on the Douqi Continent could combine soul power and Douqi to create a technique similar to the power of essence. If Xiao Ling could master this ability, he would have an overwhelming advantage in battle and could even fight against opponents of higher levels more easily.
Finally, after several rounds of experiments and careful adjustments, Xiao Ling finally mastered the secret of the Qiankun Ancient Formation on the Yunshen Mat and successfully integrated the fighting spirit and soul power seamlessly.
At this moment, the surface of the mat glowed, and a strong energy wave burst out from it, shocking people like a heartbeat. Then, in the center of the mat, a chaotic-colored, fist-sized energy body gradually condensed into shape. Its color was deep and mysterious, as if it contained endless power.
Xiao Ling stretched out his hand, palm up, and the strange energy rising from the futon seemed to be attracted and slowly floated towards his palm. Although this ball of energy was not huge, the fluctuations it emitted were strong and mysterious, and people dared not underestimate it.
The energy ball was suspended above Xiao Ling's palm, its color was like the beginning of chaos, deep and unfathomable. This was the result of his careful blending of his soul power and fighting spirit. Therefore, this energy was like an obedient child to him, without any resistance, completely under his control.
Xiao Ling moved his fingers slightly, and the energy swayed gently according to his will, as if responding to his call.
Xiao Ling whispered to himself, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Since this energy is the crystallization of soul power and fighting spirit, let's call it 'spiritual energy'." The ball of chaotic energy in his hand, like a mysterious cloud, gently rotated at his fingertips, as if waiting for his order.
Xiao Ling suddenly smiled, then gently but firmly clenched his palms. As he moved, a crisp "click" sound came from the air, like the sound of broken glass.
Then, the space seemed unable to withstand this force and cracks began to appear. A tiny black crack spread out in the air, as if it had been torn apart by this force.
Xiao Ling's face showed an even brighter smile. He knew that the destructive power of this spiritual energy far exceeded the fighting energy he had used before. Its power was simply incomparable.
But at the same time, Xiao Ling also realized that the price of this kind of power was also high. He had invested a lot of fighting spirit and soul power before to condense such a small ball of spiritual energy, which was only the size of his fist.
Xiao Ling whispered to himself, and he had already made up his mind to use this newly fused energy as his trump card. In future battles, this power would become his secret weapon, and he would only use it at critical moments. He was sure that this unique spiritual energy would be able to help him at critical moments.
After some practice, Xiao Ling once again used the Soul-Enriching Cushion to extract some spiritual energy. He carefully stored this precious energy in his body for future use. As his cultivation became more and more profound, this spiritual energy would become an important support for him in battle.
After finishing, he waved his hand lightly and put the Yunshen Cushion into the storage ring he carried with him, ready to use at any time.
Xiao Ling did not intend to extract the Qiankun Ancient Formation sealed in the Yunshen Futuan and place it in his body like Lin Dong did. The reason why Lin Dong was able to succeed was because he had the dual assistance of the Ancestral Stone and the Devouring Ancestral Talisman. The Ancestral Stone was created by the Talisman Ancestor during the ancient war and ranked second on the Ancient Divine Object List; and the Devouring Ancestral Talisman was the incarnation of the Devouring Rules of the Tianxuan Continent, and had the ability to refine all things.
Xiao Ling knew that he knew very little about how to extract the ancient Qiankun formation from the Yunshen Futuan and place it in his body. This attempt was full of unknowns and risks. He did not intend to take this risk when he had insufficient knowledge. When he was strong enough and had a deeper understanding of this aspect, it would not be too late to consider whether to make such an attempt. Now, he would rather take steady steps and gradually improve his strength.
Xiao Ling has mastered many combat skills. He is really interested in the "fusion" and "decomposition" capabilities of the complete version of the Qiankun Ancient Array, and thinks these capabilities may be very useful in combat. However, he finds the simplified Qiankun Ancient Array sealed in the Yunshen Futuan less attractive.
After all, the skills he has are already rich enough, and there is no need to rush to pursue every possible power. He prefers to keep improving and maximize his existing abilities.
Xiao Ling shook his head gently, as if to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. He shifted his attention away from the matter of the Soul-Enriching Cushion and turned his attention to the next item. His eyes wandered in the system space and finally fixed on an item called "Senzu Beans".
As soon as he saw the name "Sensou", Xiao Ling vaguely guessed that this might be something edible. He couldn't help but think, this name sounds quite attractive, I wonder if the actual effect can also make people's eyes light up.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel curious and expectant about the specific introduction of Senzu Beans.
【Senzu beans: From the world of Dragon Ball, cultivated by the cat fairy (Kalin Fairy) of Kalin Tower. Senzu beans have powerful effects. They can quickly restore the physical strength of the eater, making the tired people full of energy in a short time; they can heal various serious injuries, and as long as there is still a breath, the injured can be restored to their original state; they can also solve the problem of hunger, and one bean can replace ten days of food. However, Senzu beans are not effective for all diseases. It is currently known that they cannot treat some diseases such as viral heart disease. 】
Xiao Ling read the introduction of the system carefully, and a sense of joy surged in his heart. Although he had never watched the animation "Dragon Ball" in his previous life, from the description of the system, he could feel that this so-called "Senzu Bean" had incredible magical effects.
As Xiao Ling's mind moved, a "magic bean" appeared in his palm from the system space. He looked at the bean carefully. Its shape was similar to common beans, but slightly larger in size, and showed a vibrant green color. The surface of the magic bean was unusually smooth, as if covered by a layer of mysterious luster. The faint fragrance it exuded made Xiao Ling feel a healing power with just a light sniff.
Looking at this "magic bean" carefully, it is in the shape of a bean, slightly larger than ordinary beans. It is light green in color, smooth on the surface, and exudes a mysterious luster. It smells like a faint fragrance, and Xiao Ling feels that it can heal his injuries.
Although the appearance of the "Magic Bean" is not conspicuous, Xiao Ling will not underestimate this thing after understanding the introduction of the system.
He knew in his heart that this seemingly ordinary bean actually contained powerful vitality.
"To put it simply, this thing is like a life-saving card. As long as you are not completely dead, you can come back to life by swallowing it." Xiao Ling thought to himself that the effect of this magic bean is comparable to the legendary panacea and it is a real life-saving straw.
Although Xiao Ling's current physique made him confident that even if he was seriously injured, as long as he was not completely dead, he could slowly recover by relying on his own abilities. But having such a treasure that could save people from danger was undoubtedly a great guarantee.
Xiao Ling gently squeezed the Senzu Bean in his palm, feeling the power of life. With a slight movement of his mind, he put the Senzu Bean back to its exclusive position in the system space.
He decided to keep the beans in his own hands for emergency use. After all, in this world full of unknowns and dangers, no one could predict what would happen next.
Xiao Ling knew that the Senzu Beans might be a lifesaver for him or someone he cared about at some point in the future. Although he sincerely hoped that day would never come, having the Senzu Beans was like having an extra safety net, giving him an effective means of treatment when facing an accident.
After Xiao Ling checked the two treasures he had just obtained, he slowly stood up, and the idea of exploring the outside world emerged in his mind. He walked towards the door of the training room with a firm and calm step.
With a gentle push of his palm, the door that had been closed for almost a whole year slowly opened, as if the seal of time was released.
Instantly, beams of sunlight pierced through the crack in the door like sharp swords, piercing through the darkness in the room. The light danced in the air, dust danced in the beams, and the entire training room was stained with a layer of golden light.
Xiao Ling's eyes narrowed slightly due to the sudden light, and he raised his hands to shield his eyes, adapting to the long-lost light. The warmth of the sun gradually dispelled the coolness in the room, bringing in the vitality and energy of the outside world.
Xiao Ling stood at the door, the sunlight gently covering his skin like a veil, bringing a hint of warmth. He took a deep breath of the fresh air, which was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and soil, and he couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh: "I've been in the training room for too long, and I almost forgot the smell of the air outside. Now it feels so comfortable to breathe like this."
He opened his eyes and scanned the scene outside the training room. The carefully arranged array eyes around the training room were like secret guardians. They were connected by almost invisible thin lines, interweaving into an invisible translucent barrier, wrapping the training room tightly. Under the sunlight, these array eyes flashed a weak but firm light, like a string of pearls inlaid on the earth.
This formation was activated by Xiao Ling himself after he entered the training room. It was created by the Skyfire Venerable, and this formation master carefully crafted this formation in his spare time. It is not only a solid line of defense that can resist the attacks of Douhuang-level masters and ensure Xiao Ling's safety during training, but also a hidden barrier that can effectively conceal his breath and isolate him from the outside world.
It was precisely because of this formation that the strong energy fluctuations caused by Xiao Ling's breakthrough did not attract the attention of the outside world. It was like an invisible protective shield, firmly blocking all movements in the training room, allowing Xiao Ling to immerse himself in the process of training without being disturbed by the outside world.
Xiao Ling walked out of the training room and closed the door gently, isolating the tranquility inside from the noise outside.
He stood in front of the formation, took a deep breath, then stretched out his hand, gathered a wisp of Dou Qi at his fingertips, flicked it lightly, and the Dou Qi shot out like an arrow, accurately hitting several key points of the formation. As he operated, the light on the formation began to flicker, as if responding to his instructions.
Then, the light on the formation gradually became weaker and finally dissipated into the air, and the formation was lifted. The originally invisible barrier seemed to turn into countless points of light, drifting away with the wind and disappearing between heaven and earth.
As the barrier dissipated, Xiao Ling stepped onto the bluestone path leading to the center of the courtyard. His steps were relaxed, yet he carried a calmness that came from his training.
As he walked, he thought: "After being in seclusion for so long, I wonder how the three girls are doing now. With the help of those poisons, Xiao Yixian should have broken through to the Dou Zong realm. The cultivation of the two girls, Qinglin and Ziyan, should have improved as well."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling unconsciously revealed a gentle smile on his face.
