Chapter 93 Tengzhu Armor and the Inspection (Please Subscribe)
Sitting quietly on the wooden bed, Zhou Ling held his breath and rested for a while before taking out the rattan and bamboo armor.

We carefully observed and analyzed the process to ensure there were no other problems.

After all, engraving inscriptions on the bamboo armor requires the assistance of spiritual flames, making it even more difficult to control.

These armors were made according to the unified style of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau, and there was always an area on the chest for drawing an inscription.

After confirming that there were no problems with the rattan and bamboo armor.

Zhou Ling took a few breaths, recalling the drawing process in his mind again.

He carefully considered the control of soul power at the connection points between the inscriptions and nodes, and the method of connection.

Then, with a solemn expression, he used his mind to activate his divine sense, and at the same time, a golden flame slowly rose from his hand.

Zhou Ling used his fingers as a brush, and with the beast flames combined with his soul power, he began to carve on the rattan bamboo armor.

[You are drawing a Soul Imprint Encircled by Green Vines. Soul Sharpness +1, Divine Sense +1, Proficiency of Soul Imprint Encircled by Green Vines +1]

The soul seed also lit up instantly.

In a daze, he felt his concentrated and outward-radiating divine sense undergoing a transformation, like a soul blade.

Originally, the speed was not fast when running on the bamboo armor, but as the soul power transformed into a blade, the speed suddenly increased.

Moreover, it is extremely precise, without the slightest obscurity or hesitation.

At the same time, as the soul seed shone with a faint red light, soul power poured out, and the divine soul blade became even brighter.

Its power increased several times over, like a blade of soul flame, moving rapidly.

As the inscriptions on the bamboo armor gradually increased, Zhou Ling's spiritual energy was also rapidly depleted.

As the soul seed gradually dimmed, Zhou Ling felt his divine soul was significantly depleted, and finally managed to successfully inscribe the last soul rune.

As the beast flames and soul power receded, a soft white light shone on the Tengzhu armor before disappearing into the soul imprint.

"It's finally done!"

An excited look flashed across Zhou Ling's face.

Although the Soul Imprint Encircled by Green Vines is only a mid-grade first-tier imprint, it requires soul power to be formed and released before it can be drawn.

Although Zhou Ling's soul power cultivation was only at the seventh level of the first tier, he was able to successfully draw it with the help of the [Divine Soul Like a Blade] talent.

This also means that he has already been able to condense a certain level of divine soul attack.

Soul attacks are generally an attack method that only Foundation Establishment cultivators can control.

This made Zhou Ling unable to contain his excitement.

Of course, the [Divine Soul Like a Blade] skill is currently only at the first level, and given that the cultivation level of the divine soul is not very high, the attack power is probably limited as well.

[You are drawing a soul imprint surrounded by green vines. Divine Sense Training +1, Divine Sense +2]

[You are drawing a Soul Imprint surrounded by Green Vines. Precision Control +1, Proficiency in Soul Imprint Surrounded by Green Vines +3]

Afterwards, Zhou Ling carefully sensed for a while and found that less than half of his divine sense in his sea of ​​consciousness had been consumed.

"If I still have Cloud Essence Pills on hand, I can quickly recover my depleted spiritual energy!"

Zhou Ling murmured.

However, he quickly shook his head, realizing that pills were ultimately just external things.

The cultivation level enhanced by elixirs is not profound.

Although progress is rapid now, repeated use can lead to a superficial foundation.

This will have an impact on future foundation building and even further advancements.

Now that I have the advantage of talent, I just need to proceed steadily and surely.

There's no need to rush things; doing so would only lead to more harm than good.

Moreover, with the help of this Azure Cloud Wood Array, we should be able to forge another Tengzhu Armor by tonight.

Looking at the bamboo armor, he had a thought and poured his spiritual power into the soul seal.

Although it is a soul-attribute inscription, it still requires spiritual power to activate when refined with spiritual flames.

After being stimulated in this way, the Soul Imprint will merge with the characteristics of the Tengzhu Armor and condense into the Soul Power Green Vine.

The next moment, white light flashed on the soul imprint, and then wisps of cyan radiance condensed from the bamboo armor, forming illusory images of cyan vines.

Seeing that the effect was quite good, Zhou Ling then withdrew his spiritual power.

The illusory image of the green vine also dimmed.

After exhaling to calm himself down, Zhou Ling continued to meditate and cultivate.

Time flew by, and by dusk, Zhou Ling felt his consciousness had almost fully recovered. He then took out another set of rattan and bamboo armor and began to draw on it.

This time it went much more smoothly; in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the soul imprint encircled by the green vines was successfully drawn.

Although a sense of fatigue washed over him, Zhou Ling was filled with joy.

With these two bamboo armors, my parents' safety is now assured.

As for myself, I have a crisis response, so as long as I am careful enough, I shouldn't be in any danger!
As darkness fell outside, Zhou Ling began to feel increasingly hungry.

He then got up and left the room.

Inside the main room, a fragrant aroma filled the air. On the wooden table were three dishes and a soup, including meat, vegetables, and glistening, plump spirit rice.

Mother had already prepared dinner and was waiting for Father to come home.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door.

Zhou Shan has also returned.

"Everyone, come and eat!"

Li Ru served them meat soup and spirit rice, and called out.

"The Xuan Ting Division has issued a curfew order. People are prohibited from going out in this area after 7 PM."

"Our teams, which cooperate with the Xuan Ting Division's patrols, are not subject to any restrictions!"

Zhou Shan picked up the wine jar, poured a bowl of spirit wine, and said in a deep voice.

Li Ru was a little worried and couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't it be too dangerous to patrol at night?"

"Alas, these evil cultivators have caused widespread panic. Nobody knows who will be the next to suffer."

"We are in a group of four, and there are also people from the Xuan Ting Division, so there shouldn't be too much danger."

Zhou Shan noticed Li Ru's worry and said with a smile.

"Father, this is a bamboo armor that can defend against attacks from divine sense. Wear it to ensure your safety!"

Zhou Ling took out two pieces of rattan and bamboo armor and handed them to Zhou Shan.

"Ling'er, you can also refine defensive magical artifacts related to the soul."

"that is really good!"

Zhou Shan took the bamboo armor and said excitedly.

"I made two pieces in total, one for you and one for your mother, so you'll be safer coming and going!"

Zhou Ling smiled.

"Ling'er is really amazing!" Li Ru said with a happy smile as she touched the bamboo armor.

As a winemaker, she also knew about the process of creating such magical artifacts and how it consumed spiritual energy.

It is evident that their son's spiritual cultivation has far surpassed that of them.

However, she then asked, "Ling'er, does Mother want to wear it too?"

"Mom hasn't gone out these past few days. Won't it be a waste for her to wear this at home?"

"You don't need to at home, but it's best to wear one when you go out," Zhou Ling said, happily munching on a chicken leg.

Li Ru thought for a moment and said to Zhou Shan, "Husband, why don't we give this rattan armor to Brother Chu first?"

"It will be safer if you patrol at night!"

Zhou Shan nodded and said, "Alright!"

"Brother Chu has been in the late stage of Qi Refining for many years. If he has this bamboo armor, he won't be afraid even if he encounters that evil cultivator."

Hearing his parents say this, Zhou Ling didn't say anything more.

Come to think of it, this rattan and bamboo armor was mainly used to guard against these evil cultivators.

Once the heretical practices can be eliminated, they won't have much effect in the future.

Giving it to Chu Xing now is clearly more appropriate.

Moreover, his presence on inspection tours with his father provided his father with a form of indirect protection.

Soon after, Chu Xing and his group arrived and discussed the inspection route with Zhou Shan.

Zhou Ling returned to his room and continued his cultivation.
