Chapter 581: Soul Essence Purification, Evil Control Technique

"Master Ji, please give me the soul of the old thief Qijian. I am willing to give you two magic treasures!"

"Get out of the way, Master Ji, do you look like someone who is in need of magic treasures? I have a ball of fourth-level evil spirit here, which can just assist the Seven Evils Soul Locking Technique!"

"That's nothing. I have a secret method for refining and controlling evil spirits, which will surely help Master Ji to improve his control over evil spirits!"

"Master Ji, I see you need flower and grass seeds. I have two fourth-level grass and tree seeds passed down from my ancestors. Would you like to take a look?"

"Master Ji, I see that the evil spirits you raise are malnourished. I can send over 100,000 Shanyue people from my territory to serve as blood food. This is my personal private collection of barbarian population, and there will be no hidden dangers later!"

"Master Ji, I will give you all the minerals and forests of Muyao Peak! Please give me your soul!"

"Master Ji, this magic armor of mine smells like a virgin!"

"Master Ji, the great euphorbia is very beneficial."

Lin Shan simply ignored the three disgusting things behind him, but was very tempted by the conditions proposed by others!

It was a bit difficult to make a decision for a moment!

He couldn't help but complain in his heart, why didn't you take it out when you exchanged the golden elixir and the physical body before? Now you are in a hurry to exchange it!

This is very simple,
Because everyone wants to save what the other party needs most for last, and fight for what they value most, using the best steel on the blade.

The result was that everything useful to Lin Shan was done at the last minute.

"Everyone, what do you want to do with Qijian Zhenren's spirit? Can you tell us?"

While listening to the conditions, Lin Shan pretended to ask casually to see what tricks they had.

A demon master laughed and said:
"Haha, I just want to refine a Jindan evil ghost recently to find a ghost king for my little ghosts. The soul of the old thief Qijian is barely enough."

Generally speaking, the cultivation level of an evil ghost refined will be one or two levels lower than that of the soul during its lifetime. This is a normal phenomenon and is not closely related to the ghost refining technology.

After the soul in the early or middle stage of the Golden Core is refined into a ghost, it can easily fall out of the Golden Core stage and reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Souls in the late Jindan stage are relatively safer, with a high chance of being downgraded to the early Jindan stage. No matter how much they are downgraded, it is impossible to drop a large level.

Therefore, most of the ghost generals in the world of cultivation were in the late Jindan stage during their lifetime.

Another demon master preached:
"My flying zombie has been put aside since it was upgraded to the Golden Core Stage. I also want a Golden Core Stage soul to revive it. Qijian old dog's soul happens to be suitable!"

Generally, zombie refining is divided into several stages. Before the foundation building period, it is land zombie. After the foundation building period, it becomes flying zombie. In the Jindan period, it evolves into swimming zombie. In the Yuanying period, it is the zombie king.

Refining zombies is a technical job, which requires the monks of the magic path to master it from a young age. When refining zombies, because the monks in the Qi training stage cannot control objects through the air, they need to use bells and small hammers to direct them.

The disadvantage is obvious, that is, it is not very flexible for ordinary people to control it, and it takes a lot of practice to really provide assistance, and it is easy to be intercepted in battle.

After reaching the level of flying zombie, if conditions permit, one will switch to magic weapon link control, but this also has its disadvantages, which is that the connection can be easily cut off by opponents with strong spiritual power.

so what should I do now?
Is there no way for us who play with zombies to survive?

Yes, that is to open the spiritual intelligence of the zombie and then sign a soul contract.

This way you won't be afraid of betrayal.

The contract signed is usually a slave contract. No one would sign an equal contract like the one for spirit beasts with a zombie cultivator. That's simply crazy.

There are many ways to open up spiritual intelligence. The most common ones are killing people, refining souls, becoming a zombie, and awakening the spirit.

Killing a person is easy, but sealing the soul is not easy.

When you reach the Jindan stage, not only is it difficult to kill people, but sealing the soul is basically a pipe dream!

Which Jindan stage cultivator would not fight a desperate battle before death?
If I can't beat you, you have to let me reincarnate in the next life, right? How can I let you enslave my soul?

That's why when I saw that Master Qijian's soul was sealed, I immediately thought of refining ghosts and zombies.

Another demon master revealed his purpose:
"Ahem, Master Ji, my corpse also needs to be given spirit."

Refining corpses and refining zombies seem very similar in the magic world, but they are actually two different things!
Corpses are refined by living people.

Zombies are the result of the practice of refining dead bodies.

In comparison, the former has higher technical content in the field of innate biology than the latter, while the latter is better than the former in the field of acquired reproductive transformation.

If we really bring them out and put them together, we can only see who has better skills, we can't generalize.

Lin Shan was a novice in the art of magic, and didn't know much about refining corpses and zombies, so he asked in confusion:

"The corpse is a living person, so it should have a soul. Does it also need to be given a soul?"

The demon master smiled awkwardly:
"Indeed, I don't need it, but it's my fault that my corpse's soul disappeared some time ago. How unlucky is that!"

"The soul dissipated? How did it dissipate?"

"It was dispersed by a curse!"

At this point, the man became very angry.

"Those beasts from the Wu Dao Sect in the Wild Bear Gang are not human!"

"Once, during a duel with others, my corpse shed a lot of blood, which they secretly collected afterwards and used to curse my corpse to death!"

"I'm so fucking fucked#か&ú."

Everyone: "."

This was obviously the first time they had encountered such a situation.

The purpose of corpse refining is close combat, so it is normal to bleed in a fight. However, these unscrupulous people from Wu Dao Sect specialize in collecting the blood of corpses and cursed the corpse refiner to death!

These people are really inhuman!

Another victim walked out of the field, also a Demonic Dan Jindan Zhenren who never spoke.

"To be honest with you, Master Ji, my human puppet has already reached the Golden Core Stage. His soul was just cursed to death by the Wu Dao Sect's people. This time, I sincerely want to enlighten the old dog's soul. I will do whatever you want."

"Human puppet?"

After the Wu Dao Sect cursed the zombies and puppets, it seemed that they had been planning to attack Jiuyao Peak for a long time.

When Lin Shan heard this, he suddenly became interested.

"Brother Dao knows puppetry?"

"I know a little bit."

"Do you have a Jindan stage puppet? If so, we can exchange."

The Jindan stage puppet is not only very useful, but the key is that he once imagined that if he used the strengthening panel to strengthen a Yuanying stage puppet in advance, wouldn’t it be a great help in the Jindan stage?
It’s a pity that Jindan-stage puppets have always been made with great precision and complexity, and are creations of the Tianyuan mechanism. Ordinary forces simply don’t have that level of skill, and the top sects all hide them as strategic resources.

He couldn't touch it at all.

It is not circulated in the market at all!
This time when I came to the demonic cultivation world of Chu State, I actually met him at Jiuyao Peak?

"Master Ji, I'm afraid it's not what you think. My puppet is a real puppet, not a fake one."

This Jindan Zhenren was a little unconfident and obviously not up to par.

There are too many evil and crooked magic on the evil side, which is a little different from the puppetry on the righteous side. There are many kinds of puppets, including demon puppets, beast puppets, spirit puppets, human puppets, and object puppets.
If these things are further subdivided, the scope is endless, with countless types and functions.

Among them, human puppets are subdivided into human-shaped mechanical puppets, human-shaped simulation puppets, human-shaped flesh puppets, human-shaped plant puppets, and human-shaped magic weapon puppets.
Most of the demons are flesh and blood puppets, which are a bit similar to corpses, but they are different in essence.

To refine a corpse, one needs to cultivate corpse qi, which is also a kind of dead qi. This involves another subject, so I won’t go into details.

Human puppets are generally cultivated with vitality, and the emphasis is on making them lifelike, indistinguishable from the real thing, and keeping the flesh fresh. Otherwise, how can they be called flesh and blood puppets?

It’s a pity that the threshold is too high.

Currently, most of the human puppets on the market are human-shaped simulation puppets, made of various silicone glues. They serve tea and water to their masters, help out, or occasionally meet physiological needs.

Some brothels in the demon villages cannot afford to hire female cultivators to sell their bodies, so they use low-quality lifelike human puppets as prostitutes. This is a blessing for the low-level poor demon cultivators.

The flesh and blood puppet also gave up its original intention and embarked on another path, which is to cultivate "blood".

This is somewhat similar to the classification of "blood corpse" in corpse refining, but it does not require killing people to feed blood. It specifically selects people with different birthdays and various infants and women with special conditions.

After hearing this, Lin Shan could only shake his head in disappointment. He thought it was a humanoid mechanical puppet!

The enhanced panel cannot enhance flesh and blood creatures, so it is of no use to him. What he needs is the real creation of nature and the derivative products of Mohist mechanical technology.

"If I buy a mechanical puppet in the foundation-building stage and continuously strengthen it all the way to the Nascent Soul stage, that seems like a waste. I just planned to play with insects, and I have to save it for a breakthrough."

While Lin Shan was pondering silently, many demon masters thought that he was being reserved and deliberately waiting for a higher price, so they became anxious and angry and raised the price again and again.

Finally, after a fierce competition.

Lin Shan sold the soul of Master Qijian in exchange for a ball of fourth-level evil spirit and a spell to ward off evil spirits.

[Rock Poison Evil]

Quality: Fourth-level evil species

Introduction: At the bottom of the magma deep in the volcano, after years of accumulation of lung fire poison, the fire poison evil spirit formed has the characteristics of burning and fire poison.

Enhancement required: 64 points

【Evil Soldier Tactics】

Quality: Fourth-level secret technique

Introduction: It contains 72 kinds of weapons, which can control the evil spirits into different evil weapons, assist in on-the-spot combat, and have the characteristics of gathering and dispersing.

Enhancement required: 64 points

Rock poison evil is a relatively common evil spirit in the world of cultivation.

After all, some sacred mountains are active volcanoes, and their craters often spew out some strange things, the most common of which are fire-type evil spirits.

However, there are very few evil species that have reached the fourth level. We probably have to go deep into the magma to find them. This level is considered a rare species.

Lin Shan put it away. Currently there are four kinds of evil spirits.

No one will be refused, the more the merrier.

"Sha Bing Jue" is a very practical method of warding off evil spirits. With this, you no longer have to use only the Seven Evils Soul-Locking Technique, as there are other ways to utilize evil spirits.

The gathering and dispersion characteristics increase the controllability of Yusha, which can play a key role in a real fight.

The person he exchanged with was the master of Luohou Peak. When he asked about its purpose, the master of Luohou Peak spoke frankly.

"I am currently in the late Jindan stage and can't make any further progress. I have already realized that my soul has reached its upper limit, so I need to use external forces to break the shackles."

"I learned from an old friend that grinding the spirit of a cultivator of the same level as Master Qijian into spirit essence can help me make further progress."

"I used to eat human flesh when I was a kid, but eating human souls. I have to give it a try too."

There was some evasion and fear in the eyes of everyone looking at the Lord of Luohou Peak; it was obvious that he was also a ruthless person.

When Lin Shan heard the word "soul essence", he suddenly remembered that when he returned to the Luosong Mountains of the Song Dynasty, he passed through the dark swamp in the territory of the Skeleton Crocodile Demon King and obtained a large number of soul essence fragments.

He quickly took out a few pieces and showed them to these magic masters to see if they were of any use to everyone.

The leader of Luohou Peak took it, examined it, shook his head and gave it back to him.

"Master Ji, these soul essences of yours are third-level demon soul essences. They are useful for those in the Foundation Establishment Stage and below, but not very useful for those in the Golden Core Stage. You can keep them for yourself and use them to reward your subordinates."

Soul essence is different from soul source.

These are two different things.

Soul source is a special substance that needs to be extracted from one's own soul and fed back to oneself. It is unique and cannot be transferred.

Apart from the Immortal Book, I haven't seen anyone else make soul sources that can be used by everyone.

The most important function is to help break through the bottleneck of the soul path, improve the cultivation of the soul path, and compensate for the damage to the soul.

Soul essence can be extracted from the soul of any living being and used to increase the 'soul strength' of anyone.

Spiritual strength is different from soul power.

If you are not a soul cultivator, you don’t have soul power, but the strength of your soul is related to the strength of your spiritual consciousness and the range of your spiritual consciousness.

The range of your spiritual awareness is related to your combat radius, that is, the attack distance.

Therefore, those Jindan Dao practitioners who are not soul cultivators also pursue the strength of their souls!

However, the natural treasures that can improve the soul are quite rare, and the skills and secret techniques to train the soul are monopolized by the big forces, so the demonic monks are keen on taking crooked paths.

Killing and eating people!
It’s a pity that killing people is easy. Let’s go back to the previous topic. It’s very difficult to collect other people’s souls, let alone the soul of a late Jindan.

The demon souls of demon beasts can also be used, but because the light of wisdom has not been opened, the soul is not spiritual enough. If used too much, it will easily cause its own spirituality to be tarnished.

If the demon race had become intelligent, they wouldn't have this concern, but the demon monks weren't stupid either, and no one dared to go into the Star-Swallowing Mountains to massacre the demon race.

Lin Shan’s soul essence comes from the demon soldiers of the Skeleton Crocodile Demon King, so its quality is recognized.

Everyone divided up Qijian Zhenren's golden elixir, body, and soul, and then set their sights on his inheritance.

Mainly I want to know if there is any inheritance of the magical power of the Heavenly Demon Arm that I had in the previous battle with Lin Shan.

Lin Shan looked for it but couldn't find it. I'm sorry to tell you that it's not there.

This cannot be forced, because having learned many supernatural powers does not mean that they are inherited.

Many of his own supernatural powers have not been passed down, and this is often a personal opportunity with a lot of uncertainty.

Everyone could only sigh, and after briefly reminiscing about the past, they said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, you can see someone coming from a distance to report that someone's house has been robbed again, and someone immediately rushes back in a hurry.

Lin Shan put away the Soul-Locking Pot, planning to use it to make a fortune in the future.

As the saying goes, one trick is enough to conquer the world, killing people and stealing treasures is indeed the best way to get rich!
Just one Master Qijian brought him so many benefits, not to mention the inheritance left in the storage bag!
