Immortal Road.

Chapter 241: The Young Master of Soul Pill Jiuyou (Merged into a large chapter to make up for the 2.23 update)

Time flies, and another three years have passed.

Lao Mo was beaten half to death last time, and his old injuries relapsed, causing his cultivation to almost regress. After barely suppressing the injuries, the poison began to attack his heart again, and he was in a daze and felt extremely uncomfortable all day.

The key is that the Xun Gu Sect still refuses to let him go, and large numbers of intelligence personnel are constantly sent out to track him down, which is simply torture.

Fortunately, Lao Mo is a man who is tough and tenacious enough.

The fact that he was able to lurk in the State of Lu for fifty years and hunt down Gao Zuoda for ten whole years in one go shows that he has an extraordinary character and a perseverance far beyond that of ordinary people.

When he hid all the way to the northeast of Lu State, he was finally exposed and discovered by intelligence personnel.

This is a basin where the two brothers, the two tyrants of Rangshan, have been waiting for a long time.

"Is it you again?"

As soon as Lao Mo saw the two men, he turned and left.

But at this moment the poison broke out and he was dragged down, so the two brothers caught up with him and beat him up. When he was dying, he was thrown to the ground like a torn sack, and then they started beating his dog.

“Woof woof woof!!!~~~”

Even though the Dark Demon Dog was a magical beast at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, without Lao Mo's full control, it was naturally no match for these two men. After a series of fierce beatings, "Pa Pa Pa Pa".

"Woooooo~~~"

The dog seemed to be begging for sympathy, but the two brothers remembered the order of the hall master and showed no mercy, they raised their swords and struck down!
"pat~"

A huge dog head was chopped off, and the body of the Dark Demon Dog fell to the ground powerlessly, raising a pool of dust.

Song Zhong grinned at Shang Lu:
"Lao Mo's life has been taken, and we just took back his head as evidence!"

Shang Lu nodded innocently: "Brother, you are absolutely right!"

The two ignored Lao Mo. They remembered the teachings of the academy teacher that it is better to do less than more. They just need to complete their own work and mind their own business.

Lao Mo lay on the ground, helplessly watching the two people leaving, sad tears streaming from the corners of his cloudy eyes.

These two big guys are such a piece of shit!
If you want to kill me, then kill me. Why do you have to take my dog's life? ? ?

Beast!
Having lost his beloved dog in one day and been severely beaten, Lao Mo felt sad and burst into tears.

How could he, who had always been strong all his life, have ever been so sad!
……

Tianfu Mountain, Foreign Affairs Hall.

"Master, we have followed your instructions and captured Old Mo's life!"

"What's the evidence?"

"pat~"

A huge dog head was thrown out, rolled twice on the ground and stopped right under Mu Yan's feet.

"This is."

"This is Lao Mo's dog head! Please have a look, Master!"

Mu Yan looked at his feet with a puzzled look on his face, and a string of question marks flashed across his head.

"Could it be that Lao Mo's true form is a dog? He revealed his true form after being killed?"

However, most monsters can only refine their horizontal bones and speak human language when they reach the Nascent Soul stage. As for transforming into a human, except for a few species, it probably requires a higher realm to do so. I think the same should be true for monsters.
Mu Yan was not sure. After all, the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. Maybe there are some rare treasures that can help the monster transform earlier.

So he simply sent someone to call Gao Zuoda and asked him to identify whether it was Lao Mo's head.

Gao Zuoda came over to take a closer look before coming to a conclusion:
"This is Lao Mo's dog head, but it's not Lao Mo's head!"

Mu Yan: “.”

He felt that his thoughts were a little out of sync, as if he was in a puzzle, and he didn't know whether he should ask.

Gao Zuoda observed Mu Yan's expression and immediately guessed Mu Yan's confusion. He explained in detail to his immediate superior:

"Lao Mo has a dog, whose species is the Dark Demon Dog, a demonic beast. This dog head is Lao Mo's dog head, not his own head."

After this explanation, Mu Yan immediately understood.

"Crack!"

This time, the teacup in his hand was crushed to pieces, and the fine spiritual tea just flowed from his hand to the ground, making the maid who was making tea next to him secretly regretful.

He suppressed his anger and looked at the two brothers:
"Tell me, what's going on?"

The two brothers Shang Lu and Song Zhong looked at Mu Yan getting angry and were confused, not knowing what they had done wrong.

Gao Zuoda was very perceptive and knew that his leader would be furious at this moment. It would be unwise for him to stay here and watch him make a fool of himself, so he quietly retreated.

Seeing that the two were still unaware of the situation, Mu Yan was furious and slammed the table!
"I want Lao Mo's life, why did you bring me his head?"

The two brothers Shanglu and Song Zhong looked puzzled:
"That's right! Bringing his head here will just prove that we killed him, right?"

"But you took his life, not his own life!!!"

"That's right! It's his own life! Could it be someone else's life?"

"I don't want his dog's life, I want his dog's life!"

Mu Yan deliberately broke the sentences and yelled in their ears.

The two brothers were also a little annoyed, and replied directly in a muffled voice:
"Just tell me, is this his life?"

"Yes, of course, but..."

Mu Yan was breathing heavily. He felt that there was no way he could communicate with them. It was like talking to a deaf person. He almost went crazy!
It feels like ants are crawling all over my body!
He has been blinded by anger!

He has lost his mind!

"I'll say this one last time! You two, get out of here now, immediately, right now, find Lao Mo, and send him to hell!!!"

The two brothers turned around and left without saying a word or dragging their feet.

After they walked away, Mu Yan recovered a little, and suddenly slapped his head, thinking that he had said something wrong. He was afraid that what he had just said might cause misunderstanding again, so he quickly sent someone to find the two tyrants of Rangshan and explain the mission to them again.

However, the two brothers had already gone far away, and with their escape speed in the late stage of foundation building, the ordinary disciples of Xun Gu Sect could not catch up with them.

Mu Yan was so annoyed that he had to give up, and secretly prayed that nothing unexpected would happen this time.

……

Three years later, Lao Mo looked like he had lost all hope in life. He was carried on the left and right by the two brothers Shang Lu and Song Zhong, heading west.

His injuries had become increasingly serious over the years, his realm had dropped by more than half, all his supplements and consumables had been used up, and he was poisoned and terminally ill. He relied on his own will to escape, dodging the attacks of countless Xun Gu Sect intelligence personnel.

He had clearly escaped to eastern Shandong from western Shandong, northwestern Shandong, northern Shandong, and northeastern Shandong!
He was about to leave the country, but was intercepted by the two tyrants of Rangshan.

He is too lazy to resist, so you two just give him a quick death.

But he didn't expect that these two people came up without saying a word, just crossed their arms and headed west, saying that they would send him to heaven.

Lao Mo was dumbfounded at that time.

Western Heaven?

There really is such a place in the northwest of Lu State.

It is said that a great Buddhist figure from the fairyland once appeared here long ago. It was said that at that time, almost everyone in the whole Lu State could see the huge projection of the Western Paradise of Buddhism in the fairyland, with countless Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajras, and Sakyamuni chanting scriptures in circles, with kind eyes and a lotus pedestal hanging high in the sky.

On that day, the Buddha’s light shone everywhere, spreading the Dharma to all living beings.

However, it was later interrupted by a mysterious powerful person who lived in seclusion in this world, and the projection across the world was temporarily interrupted.

This incident later produced far-reaching consequences. It was said that all the powerful beings in the immortal world issued decrees, secretly ordering the Taoist sects in the lower world to investigate the matter.

However, that mysterious powerful man never appeared in this world again after that, and it became an unsolved case.

Otherwise, the State of Lu might not necessarily be a Confucian country now, and it might very well have become a Buddhist country.

Because this place is a famous scenic spot and historical site, it is also known as Xiaoxitian.

However, the Confucian masters were wary of the impact on their status in the State of Lu and did not allow a Buddhist temple to be built here.

After the two brothers Song Zhongshang and Lu sent Lao Mo here, they kept their distance from his business as usual. They just patted him on the shoulder and told him to take care of himself before starting their return journey.

Looking at the two people going away in the horizon again, Lao Mo took a deep breath, then his eyes showed determination again, and he turned around and ran to the east again.

……

Tianfu Mountain, the meeting hall.

All the middle and senior management gathered together, staring at Mu Yan quietly, waiting to laugh at him.

His Highness, the two brothers Song Zhongshanglu came back to report, feeling very proud and yet unaware of the situation.

Veins bulged on Mu Yan's forehead, but when he thought about the IQ of these two brothers, he didn't know how to scold them. He felt so regretful in his heart.

Lu Xiuming came out to help. He also learned about the cause of the incident from Gao Zuoda. He just sighed:
"I have heard of Song Zhong and Shanglu, the two tyrants of Rangshan, a long time ago. They are not good at doing things, but they always mess things up. Even Shangyang Academy was forced to expel them, which shows how difficult they are to deal with."

"It's just that the leader is kind-hearted and took them in out of pity. Now they have missed the big event. This is also my fault. When the leader comes out of retreat, I will take care of everything. You don't have to worry too much."

Mu Yan felt even more ashamed when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands:
“Senior Brother Lu is a virtuous man. I am sincerely convinced. It has been ten years since the Sect Master went into seclusion, but I still haven’t found the complete body-building secret technique. I am really ashamed of the Sect Master’s trust.

Now that things have come to this, I can only go all out and personally retrieve the first half of the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique. If I fail, I will not return to the mountain!"

This time his speech was sonorous and powerful, and he was secretly ruthless in his heart. He was determined to take back the secret technique of body building and not let others make a fool of him again!
Lu Xiuming nodded with a look of satisfaction: "It's not too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost. Brother Mu, please go in person, I think it will be foolproof."

Everyone in the hall nodded, and most of them had no doubts about this.

It was not for anything else, but because in just ten years, Mu Yan had actually cultivated from the initial stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building in one breath! This cultivation speed was simply outrageous.

"The Mysterious Theory of Yin and Yang, the Divine Qi Sutra" is worthy of being the Nine-Character Scripture. Mu Yan has expanded his harem over the years and has eighteen concubines alone, all of whom are female cultivators in the Qi training stage.

These female cultivators had nothing to be unwilling about. Mu Yan himself was a high-ranking figure in the Xun Gu Sect. Moreover, he was young, suave, and had a high level of cultivation. He was also a genius, and he could provide them with a good training environment and resources. Naturally, they were all willing to be his concubines.

After Mu Yan practiced dual cultivation with these people every time, he would provide them with sufficient Qi training elixirs to replenish their vitality. As they took turns to favor them over and over again, their cultivation naturally increased rapidly.

What’s more crucial is that when he broke through from the initial stage of foundation building, he was extremely lucky. There was no such thing as failure in the breakthrough and regression in his cultivation. He actually succeeded in breaking through in one go!
Everyone else in the church was envious, but they couldn't learn it even if they wanted to.

Firstly, dual cultivation definitely requires the harmony of yin and yang. Every cultivator's yang energy is limited, this is the law of nature, and too much loss will damage the origin.

However, there are always some people in this world who are men of iron and have kidneys of steel and cannot be judged by common sense.

Everyone speculated that this boy Mu Yan might have an inexplicable talent in controlling women, which really made others envious.

In addition, this kid has had "cross-level" combat capabilities since he was a child. With his current strength in the middle stage of foundation building, he will probably not be at a disadvantage against a person in the late stage of foundation building. Everyone is very confident in him.

However, this time, in order to complete the task and prevent any trouble from happening again, Mu Yan specially brought along Gao Zuoda, Li Yuanjie, the two brothers Shang Lu and Song Zhong, four Foundation Establishment cultivators, and hundreds of disciples from the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Lu Xiuming was still a little worried, so he asked Master Zhan Kong to accompany him. With his rich experience in the martial arts world, he thought he could help Mu Yan find out the gaps and fill in the gaps.

They made such a big fuss, vowing to bring Lao Mo to justice and get back the first half of the "Nine Transformations of Golden Body"!

Before the leader comes out!

……

What they don't know is.

Far to the east of the State of Lu, there is another vast demonic kingdom, within the territory of the State of Jin.

Covered by a demonic cloud with a radius of one hundred miles, a huge rocky mountain stood tall and straight. In a black hall on the mountainside, pots of black and green demonic fire were burning. At the end of the hall, a young man in a black robe and a young man in a purple robe were sitting on the ground, chatting around a chess game.

"Brother Wei, you've been here for about thirty years, right? How is it? Are you used to living here?"

"Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Zi. I am a person without any roots. I have been bothering you for nearly half a century. Whenever I think of you, I am grateful for your kindness and my eyes are wet with tears."

"You're welcome. You and I are old friends. How can I just stand by and watch your sect being destroyed and you becoming homeless?"

"Alas, everyone in the world thinks that the demons are all sinister and vicious. But we are just following our own desires and not overstepping the boundaries. We all have our own bottom line and principles, and we are generous and bold. People of the time are all wrong!"

"Haha, Brother Wei is still so sentimental. Let's not talk about this. By the way, a few days ago, my sect received a secret report that took many years to arrive. It seems that before your Jiuyou Sect was destroyed, an undercover mailer was planted in the territory of the Confucian Sect in Lu State. They searched for you, the young master of Jiuyou Sect, but couldn't find you. Finally, the letter was passed to me. Do you want to take a look?"

The purple-robed youth took out an unopened jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to the black-robed youth. The black-robed youth took it, used his spiritual sense to examine it for a moment, and said openly without any hesitation:
"I didn't expect that it was a servant who followed me fifty years ago. He had lost contact with me in Lu State for a long time and thought that I had forgotten him, so he found a secret body-building technique for me and wanted to return to my side."

After hearing this, the purple-robed young man couldn't help but jokingly said:
"So many years have passed, Brother Wei has already broken through the Jindan stage, and his Xuanyin body has been cultivated to perfection. Why does he need any messy body-building secrets? However, this servant can be considered loyal!"

The young man in black surnamed Wei, the young master of Jiuyou Sect, shook his head:

"I don't know whether he is loyal or not, but when the Nine Nether Sect of Chu was destroyed, except for my group that managed to escape, most of the others were killed. And I have been hiding here with Brother Zi for so many years, so the undercover agent in Lu State has not received any instructions for many years. It is understandable that he thinks he has been forgotten."

"Oh? Brother Wei, when he came out of seclusion this time, it seems that he has some thoughts of doing something?"

The fact that the purple-robed young man could take in a figure like the Young Master of Jiuyou Sect shows that his identity and status are also not bad.

"That's right. I fled all the way from Chu to Jin. Fortunately, Brother Zi and your clan protected me for half a century. I am very grateful. Now that my Xuanyin body has been cultivated, it is time to leave."

The young master of Jiuyoumen expressed his gratitude with a sincere look on his face.

The purple-robed young man hesitated for a moment and advised him not to leave in a hurry:

"Brother Wei, you have to know that your mortal enemy of the Jiuyou Sect has been keeping an eye on you. If it weren't for me, you would have a very high chance of getting out."

"It doesn't matter."

The young master of Jiuyou Sect had a calm and unperturbed expression.

"As long as I stay away from the Nascent Soul Demon Lord, I won't be in too much danger. Besides, my Xuanyin body can hide the demonic energy, and there is no risk of being exposed in the righteous territory. It's a good opportunity for me to stroll around and visit the old Demon Lord Kuruo."

"Demon Lord Ku Rong!"

The purple-robed young man showed surprise on his face. Demon Lord Kuruo was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator who was well-known in the Jin State's cultivation world. He didn't expect that the young master of Jiuyou Sect was actually related to this man!

The young master of Jiuyou Sect smiled slightly: "Although Jiuyou Sect has been destroyed, there are still some connections left. This demon king was once a friend of my master."

The purple-robed young man nodded to show his understanding. The connections involved in a top-level sect are far beyond the reach of ordinary small sects, so some political legacies are understandable.

"Then I won't bother you any more. When Brother Wei plans to leave, please remember to let me know so I can prepare a farewell banquet for you."

The young master of Jiuyou Sect expressed his gratitude profusely and escorted the young man in purple robe out of the hall. The two men said goodbye to each other reluctantly.

When I returned to the hall, an old man in the Jindan stage was already waiting there.

"Young Master, are you really planning to leave the Yuan Mo Sect?"

"Well, we have stayed here for too long. You should know that the Jiuyou Sect was destroyed by the combined forces of the Chu State. Although the Yuanmo Sect is also a top sect in the Jin State, it will still be a huge pressure to protect us. I can't let Brother Zi have a hard time in the sect. It's time to leave."

"That's right. Young Master, you are blessed to have such a close friend. We really shouldn't trouble him too much. But, after we leave the Yuan Mo Sect, where will we go?"

This is a problem. After all, the Jiuyou Sect has been destroyed, and only his branch is left in exile. They can be said to be like duckweed floating on the water. If they leave the Yuanmo Sect, they can only live in a place without a fixed place to stay and have to sleep in the open air.

The young master of Jiuyou Sect had already made a plan, and directly told the old man in the Jindan stage what he had in mind:
"I have been in seclusion for thirty years and plan to go out and travel. You should take people to Lu State first and bring Lao Mo back quietly. It must be hard for him to hide there for fifty years.

You said he wanted to come back and follow me, he could just come back directly, why did he have to look for some secret body-building technique? Instead he was hunted down by the local sect, which was really inconsiderate. I am not the kind of person who doesn't remember old friendships.

Forget it, you can take him back when the time comes, and then go to join the Demon Lord Ku Rong together. I will give them a heads up in advance."

The old man in the Jindan stage bowed and accepted the order: "I understand. I will dispatch people to Lu State right away."

The young master of Jiuyou Sect walked back to the hall and waved his sleeves. The old man in the Jindan stage understood and slowly left the hall and closed the door.

……

Tianfu Mountain seems a little deserted at this time.

Ever since Mu Yan, Master Zhan Kong and others took a large number of disciples out to pursue the secret technique of body-building, many places on the mountain seemed empty, and occasionally some mountain spirit beasts would sneak in to look for food.

The Black Skull Demon Lord remained in seclusion as usual, refining his soul source and nourishing his soul treasure, temporarily handing over all matters to his subordinates.

While taking care of internal affairs, Lu Xiuming also remotely controlled the Lin Chamber of Commerce and the metallurgical industry, and was busy all day long.

The forbidden area on the top of the mountain is where the leader of the Xun Gu Sect goes into seclusion.

Lin Shan has stayed in the secret room for twelve whole years, unaware of the cold or heat, and oblivious to everything in the world.

At this moment, his whole body was filled with vigorous energy, and his spiritual pressure was as thick as paste. What was even more magical was that in his soul, grey transparent silk threads were born from all around, gathered in the center and wrapped into a ball, weaving something.

The soul source slate in his arms provided him with endless energy. The mysterious substance entered his soul and turned into green spots of light, which gently penetrated into the thread balls, as if it had become an adhesive or a catalyst.

Gradually, a rough gray sphere was condensed.

Lin Shan knew that the critical moment had come. He took out three incense sticks from the storage bracelet, lit them, and began to practice the "White Skeleton Visualization Diagram". A huge skeleton throne appeared in his mind, surrounded by a sea of ​​countless white bones, each with its arms outstretched, and its skulls opening and closing like a group of dancing demons.

A skeleton sat upright on the throne, motionless like a clay sculpture. The sea of ​​skeletons around it seemed oblivious to it, but its overwhelming pressure was released invisibly, forcing Lin Shan's soul to be compressed to the extreme.

As a result, the soul pill was also constantly forged and pressed, gradually changing from rough to solid.

"Cluster~~"

A small amount of soul fire was ignited by the secret technique and just bloomed under the soul pill. The flame jumped rhythmically and began to forge this new big pill.

During the calcination process, while Lin Shan was visualizing, hallucinations arose in his mind. The bone throne and the sea of ​​skeletons began to shake illusorily. There were even dozens or even hundreds of huge bone figures superimposed at the same time, sometimes scattered on both sides, and sometimes overlapping. Countless chaotic whispers also emerged in his ears.

Lin Shan knew that this was a drawback of the "White Bone Visualization Diagram", an aftereffect of the illusions that had been unconsciously left behind during the more than ten years of soul cultivation. Fortunately, he had lit the mind-concentrating incense from the outside world in advance, and the curling smoke helped him concentrate on the calcination and compression of the soul pill.

Time goes by, one day, four days, nine days,
Sixteen days,
Twenty-five days,

Thirty-six days,

Forty-nine days,

……

Ninety-nine and eighty-one days.

The large gray pill in the soul has become round, smooth, and bright. The soul fire below has gradually dissipated, because the number of holes on the soul pill is full and densely distributed on the surface. Gray air flows in and out, and even a black and white light band has emerged from the outside, like a planetary belt surrounding a planet, mysterious and magnificent, deep and ancient.

The soul thread is connected, and the soul source seeps.

The soul fire burns and the soul pill is formed.

“Huh~~~”

After exhaling a breath of foul air that had accumulated over the years, Lin Shan had no choice but to end his visualization of the bones. He knew that this was his limit.

The soul pill is saturated, the soul orifices are filled, ninety-nine and eighty-one orifices, which is the limit of his soul pill qualification when the soul source is sufficient.

Sometimes, even if a cultivator has great talent, he may fail to achieve a breakthrough due to the acquired training environment, training resources, his own strength, coincidences, accidents, and other factors. He may not be able to achieve a perfect breakthrough, and there will always be some shortcomings.

The original upper limit of Lin Shan's soul pill qualification was eighty-one orifices. Because he had enough soul sources and the assistance of the soul-forging secret technique of the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to reach the maximum limit when he broke through, which was considered a "perfect breakthrough" for him.

As for the legendary Baiqiao Soul Pill, the "bai" is just a general term. It cannot be said that there are no such people at all, but generally speaking, it is difficult to see them. Such people must be unparalleled geniuses and cannot be judged by reason.

The aptitude of eighty-one orifices is already very terrifying, but Lin Shan still feels very regretful because he has no idea about it.

However, at least he is now considered a cultivator at the "Soul Pill Stage"!

The Soul Pill Stage is equivalent to the Golden Pill Stage, and they are two different systems under the Immortal Civilization.

The golden elixir is the way of essence. After the elixir is made, the pearl falls into the Huangting.

The soul pill is the way to the spirit and soul. After the pill is made, it is hidden deep in the Niwan.

The human body has three dantians: upper, middle and lower. The spiritual power of ordinary warriors, Qi training monks and foundation building monks comes from the middle dantian.

After breaking through the Jindan stage, the Jindan will fall into the Huangting Palace, which is the lower Dantian.

After breaking through the Soul Pill Stage, the Soul Pill will be hidden deep in the Niwan Palace, which is the Upper Dantian.

Therefore, the Golden Elixir Avenue and the Soul Elixir Avenue can complement each other without any conflict, and can even complement each other.

The golden elixir is characterized by its firmness, indestructibility, perfection, brightness and purity without flaw, which means it is an elixir without leakage.

The soul pill requires that the four directions are connected and the mind, soul, intention and spirit are preserved. This is the hundred-orifice soul pill.

The two are completely opposite.

It can be seen that these two roads were obviously designed by the ancient great powers, and they can allow cultivators under the immortal civilization system to practice dual cultivation at the same time. However, due to the limitation of lifespan between heaven and earth, the lifespan of the Jindan stage is 400 years. There is not enough time for everyone to rest on one road alone, let alone practice dual cultivation. Basically, no one will choose this dead end.

Unless he is truly a child of destiny, he is just a pure hanger-on.

After all, not everyone has the "immortal book investment" and has endless soul sources to support it.

Even though Lin Shan had been using soul energy to assist himself in his soul cultivation for more than ten years, and had cultivated himself all the way to the late stage of foundation building, and then used it to break through to the soul pill stage, he had only used less than one percent of it.

The soul source as big as a basin in his arms has only shrunk a tiny bit, and you can't even see it if you don't look carefully!
Lin Shan was delighted. He was so grateful to the immortal master "Seven Arrows Book" that he was so generous. I'm afraid that this piece of soul source is enough for him to complete the cultivation of the two realms of Soul Pill Stage and Soul Infant Stage. It was arranged in one step!
So awesome!
But the next moment, he suddenly felt dizzy, and even had a feeling that his soul and body were separated, and he felt like he was floating in the air.

"No, my physical body is only at the foundation-building stage. As a container for the soul, it can no longer keep up with the progress of the Soul Pill Avenue. If I want to continue to explore the path of soul cultivation, I must first grasp the Golden Pill Avenue and advance at the same pace!"

Lin Shan endured the discomfort and then he realized why most humans practiced the way of golden elixir instead of the way of soul elixir.

It turns out that different races have their own specialties. For example, the Skeleton Clan, Ghost Clan, Rakshasa Clan, and Asura Clan are suitable for the Soul Pill Path, while the Human Clan, Witch Clan, Water Clan, and Inhuman Clan are suitable for the Golden Pill Path.

The Great Way of the Golden Elixir is a leak-free golden elixir that locks the essence and the source, so it will not cause much burden on itself.

The Hundred Aperture Soul Pill of the Soul Pill Avenue has soul energy flowing in and out all the time, and soul power has been circulating around the body. If there is no corresponding physical cultivation to support it, it will constantly erode and transform its own essence, thus transforming into a ghost cultivator.

If Lin Shan continues like this for a long time and does not quickly pick up his Golden Core cultivation, his flesh and blood might melt away and only his skeleton would remain, turning him into a being that is neither human nor ghost, and he might even be related to the Black Skull Demon Lord!
Of course, people in different worlds have different talents. For example, in the Bamboo Soul World that the Black Skull Demon Lord has traveled to, the people there can major in the Soul Pill Dao. That is a talent that has evolved based on the evolution of the environment, and Lin Shan naturally cannot learn it.

Feeling the soul power flowing in his body, Lin Shan felt happy, but at the same time he had a sense of urgency. Time was running out!
"I have to find a way to break through the Jindan stage as soon as possible, otherwise when the time comes, the Black Skull Demon Lord will call me his brother, and I will really become his skeleton brother!"

Soul power is the advanced energy transformed from the Soul Pill Stage, and corresponds to the magic power of the Golden Pill Stage.

If it reaches the soul infant stage, it will continue to transform into "soul essence".

During the Nascent Soul stage, magic power will transform into "true energy".

Therefore, the title of Yuanying Zhenjun can also be derived from the changes in the body. The dross is removed and the true essence is retained, and the true essence circulates endlessly. It is also in line with the heaven and the earth. Therefore, the Yuanying stage can control the power of the heaven and the earth, which comes from here.

There are differences between soul power and magic power, soul essence and true essence, but there is not much difference in their use.

Soul power can still be used to use magic weapons and cast spells, just like when the Black Skull Demon Lord fought with the Dai family, the other Jindan Zhenren did not notice any clues.

If you really fight with others, others will only think that you are a Jindan stage cultivator.

As for normal times, there is no difference from the Jindan stage, so there is nothing to worry about.

The two magic weapons and magical spells in Lin Shan's hands can be used as usual, and their power will not decrease. At this point, he can truly be sure that he has reached another level of status in the world of cultivation, Golden Core True Man.

In this world, those in the Qi training stage are considered low-level cultivators, those in the foundation building stage are considered middle-level cultivators, and those in the golden elixir stage are considered high-level cultivators.

Transformation of magical power, control of magic weapon, rainbow transformation technique, Samadhi true fire.

Just like the foundation-building stage is compared to the Qi-training stage, the golden elixir stage is compared to the foundation-building stage, and there is also a huge gap between them!
Lin Shan has currently broken through to the Soul Pill Stage, and in light of the above changes, he also needs to make corresponding adjustments.

First of all, after the transformation of his soul power, the vortex of spiritual power in his middle dantian was still there, but it was now fully compressed in the dantian, and his limbs and bones were all filled with soul power. However, the soul power is now pure energy, and he needs to practice the soul dan period exercises to make better use of it.

Secondly, regarding soul treasures and magic treasures, he should have been able to learn from the Black Skull Demon Lord and refine a "natal soul treasure" to be nurtured in the Niwan Palace. Unfortunately, refining a natal soul treasure is too expensive and requires a huge amount of spiritual materials, so this can only be left for later.

Then comes the art of transforming into rainbow. This is not difficult at all. In every Soul Pill Stage or Golden Pill Stage technique, there must be some tips on how to mobilize soul power and magic power to transform into rainbow. You can just learn them casually.

The last thing is one's own fire. A Jindan Zhenren can cultivate his own Samadhi True Fire, or refine other true fires according to his own skills, or search and collect some strange fires from the outside world to refine. It all depends on the individual.

A Soul Pill Master can also cultivate his own Seven Evils Soul Fire. Of course, in some worlds it is called the Seven Emotions Soul Fire, or the Desire Soul Fire, or it is a soul fire tailored to his own practice. He can also find strange fire in the outside world to refine. The type of soul fire to be customized also needs to be based on the compatibility of the practice, but sometimes he needs to grasp a degree. If he can't control it, he will get burned and it will be troublesome.

True fire (soul fire) can be used to calcine elixirs, remove impurities, and temper magic power (soul power) on a daily basis. It can also be used to temper true essence (soul essence) after the Nascent Soul stage. It can also be used to refine elixirs and to fight against enemies in battles.

Of course, most cultivators would not do that. After all, it is not easy to refine true fire. If it is extinguished by the enemy's magic weapons or spells, the loss would be too great.

However, there are countless kinds of strange fire in the world of cultivation, and it is not impossible that some of the most powerful ones can be used as killer weapons.

"The matter of the Soul Treasure and Soul Fire can only be put on hold for now and left for refining later."

"My top priority now is to study the Soul Pill Stage techniques first, transform all of my soul power, and completely possess the combat power of a high-level cultivator."

"Then, relying on my own strength, I will find ways to quickly break through the Jindan stage. I will advance on both paths simultaneously to avoid the deterioration of my body."

Lin Shan took out the "Yellow Bamboo Divine Combination Method", which was given to him by the Black Skull Demon Lord before he went into seclusion. It was a method of cultivation for the human soul pill stage that he obtained in the Bamboo Soul World. It was also the only method of cultivation that he could use at present.

He is not picky. He uses whatever he has. He will replace it when he finds a better one. If he can't find one anymore, he will keep it and strengthen it for further use.

The pressure that was originally surging in the secret room gradually disappeared, and it returned to its former tranquility.
