Chapter 036: Soul Cave
In the middle of the day, the lights of thousands of homes were extinguished one after another, and only a few houses were scattered, and a little candlelight was still shining through the windows. And the second floor of one of the inns is one of the few rooms.
The windows of the room were wide open, and the moonlight cast through the windows and hit the table in the room. In addition to the tea set, there were two other things on the table, one of which was wrapped in a piece of floral cloth about the size of a baby's arm, and the other was an incense stand with an unlit incense stick.
On the side of the table near the window sat a young man who was motionless and stared straight at the table. With his right hand on his head, his left hand aimlessly tugging back and forth at the piece wrapped in rags.
On the other side of the table, a small spirit beast that looked like a refined winter melon was dancing in the air. From time to time, a few purple halos flashed where its arm slashed, and although it looked like a random gesture, it had a certain pattern, like some kind of sigil. The little spirit beast's expression was extremely serious, as if it was afraid that something would go wrong.
After a while, the little spirit beast stopped and breathed a long sigh of relief. "Master, the enchantment has been laid out, and it can start at any time, unless there are anti-heaven level masters around, ordinary people will not notice any movement"
"Good...... What do you need me to do?" Yun Tian stopped playing with and said in a light tone.
"The Soul Cave is the premise of cultivation, only by clearly understanding the attributes of one's own Soul Cave can one find a cultivation path that suit......s oneself, if you rush to cultivate, it is extremely dangerous," Xiao Kui Ling said with a serious face.
"Okay......" Yun Tian listened carefully, pondered for a moment, and said with a look of understanding.
"Then I...... What exactly should be done?"
"One word...... Forbearance," Xiao Kui Ling said lightly.
"Forbearance?" Yun Tian's face was full of doubts, and he faintly felt in his heart that he was afraid that he was going to suffer some hardships.
Yun Tian's expression was solemn, and he slowly sat down with a complicated mood, and according to Xiao Kuiling's instructions, facing the moonlight, his eyes were closed, and his hands naturally hung down on his knees, relaxing.
"Master, you must remember that no matter what happens, as long as I don't let you open your eyes, you must not open your eyes rashly," Xiao Kuiling instructed repeatedly.
Yun Tian nodded, and after taking another deep breath, his body gradually became in a relaxed and peaceful state. At the same time, a reddish-brown halo composed of various strange-shaped characters and drawings slowly appeared, like a looming protective shield, lingering around Yuntian's body, which was the soul enchantment made by Xiao Kui Ling just now.
At this moment, Xiao Kuiling gently blew on the incense burner he had prepared just now and lit the incense.
Xiao Kuiling walked over from the table and stopped behind Yuntian. The right hand was slowly raised, and a red halo appeared in the palm of the palm, and it grew larger and larger, and finally it was the size of a fist. Xiao Kuiling suddenly slapped at the center of Yun Tian's head.
I saw that the red halo just now instantly entered Yun Tian's body from the back of Yun Tian's mind.
At this moment, Yun Tian was like someone had poured a basin of ice water on top of his head, gasping, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked slightly painful.
The red halo began to slowly spread around the body from the seven meridians and eight veins of the clouds, and its flow trend was faintly visible to the naked eye. The two of them were in a state of complete stillness.
Only the cigarette smoke slowly rising on the incense burner, and the halo of sigils lingering around the cloudy sky were slowly rhythmic. When the pillar of incense burned about a third of the way, beads of sweat began to gradually appear on Yun Tian's forehead, and a hideous and painful expression appeared on his cheeks from time to time, and at this time, the red halo had moved from the center of his eyebrows to the position of his abdomen.
Gradually, in addition to Xiao Kuiling's serious and careful demeanor, there was also a sense of doubt. There was also a hint of uneasiness from time to time, until finally, when the red light moved to Yun Tian's abdomen. Xiao Kuiling suddenly opened his eyes, and his shocked expression was mixed with incredulity.
"How can this be, is it ......" Xiao Kuiling muttered quietly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and gasped.
"Master, if you bear with it a little longer, you......'ll be fine in no time," Xiao Kuiling said softly. Yun Tian nodded slightly, frowning slightly, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.
Xiao Kui Ling closed his eyes again, and then Xiao Kui Ling did it again according to the process just now, and the red halo in Yun Tian's body wandered back and forth in his body. Finally, when Xiao Kuiling opened his eyes, the halo in Yun Tian's body slowly dissipated.
"That's really the case......" Xiao Kuiling said lightly.
After receiving Xiao Kuiling's signal, Yun Tian slowly opened his eyes and sighed deeply. Yun Tian stretched his waist, feeling like he was much more tired than going up the mountain to chop firewood for a day, and his whole body was like he was about to fall apart, extremely tired.
"I said little thing, you just ...... Did you measure anything?" Yun Tian said in a weak tone, shaking his shoulders back and forth.
"Hmm" Xiao Kuiling nodded, and the admiration in his eyes was even more than before.
"Hee-hee...... I'll just say, master, you are absolutely extraordinary, I didn't expect it to be even more shocking than I imagined before......" Xiao Kuiling said with a smile on his face.
"What?...... What did you measure just now?Do I have a soul cave?" Yun Tian asked with curiosity on his face as he listened, the more confused he became.
"Of course there is a soul cave, and there is more than one."
"More than one? what...... Will there be many soul caves?" Yun Tian was a little puzzled
"That's right, according to common sense, the Quat people will have multiple soul caves, and at the very least, there must be one, which is also the most important embodiment that distinguishes them from mortals. But there are very few people like you who were born with seven soul caves. As far as I know, for thousands of years, there have been more than five innate soul caves on the entire continent, and there are no more than ten people," Xiao Kui Ling said with an exaggerated expression.
"Soul Cave, you humans also call it Soul. But there is a fundamental difference between the two. The soul of a mortal is the lowest soul, just the soul of an ordinary creature to survive, and the Quet are one more on this basis, the soul cave is simply a 'container', the more containers, the greater the potential of the Quet people.
Soul caves are all innate. Therefore, if you want to increase the number of soul caves through cultivation the day after tomorrow, it is quite a difficult thing, comparable to ascending to the sky, not to mention that mortals want to generate soul caves from zero to one."
"As I told you before, the Quat people are divided into five levels: 'Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Huang, and Zong', and they are lowered in turn, and at least three of them can reach the lowest Zongzi level among these five levels. A soul cave can generally only hold one attribute of spiritual power at a time, right...... Master, the pillar of incense is about to burn out, hurry up and eat a piece of Fengyuan grass petals, otherwise the hour will pass, and it won't work" Xiao Kuiling looked at the burned pillar of incense, as if he suddenly realized something, urged.
"Oh oh......" Yun Tian nodded quickly, picked up the thing on the table wrapped in broken flower cloth, a small purple flower came into view, Yun Tian carefully picked off a petal, put it in his mouth, and wrapped the remaining Fengyuan grass and put it away.
Just after Yuntian completed this series of actions, the pillar of incense was extinguished. "It's so thrilling, fortunately I suddenly remembered, otherwise it would be troublesome......" Xiao Kui said with palpitations.
"What is the effect of this Fengyuan grass, how does it feel cold and hot for a while" Yun Tian gently chewed the petals, and swallowed it with a slightly painful expression.
"Fengyuan Grass is the best choice for nourishing the Soul Cave, it has a strong repair and regeneration function, and it is a rare elixir for some Kuit people who have cultivated or fought for many years. As far as I know, due to the large-scale collection of the Quat people in the past hundred years, Fengyuan grass is now extremely rare."
"Then what will happen if I forget to eat it after the time has passed just now," Yun Tian asked tentatively.
"There won't be too many problems, it's just that it will produce a tired and low-spirited reaction for a period of time, if it is like this for a long time, it will cause irreversible damage to your soul cave, and the consequences will be more serious," Xiao Kui Ling said as if he was a little afraid.
"But speaking of which, I really have to admire the master's strong body, with the strength I just had, rampage in your soul cave, if you change to other Quits, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of bed in a month. I didn't expect you to feel just a little tired, and you can still stand up, I can't imagine what it would be like if your seven soul caves were opened."
"In fact, testing the soul cave is an extremely dangerous thing, the soul cave is very fragile, a little careless, it may lead to irreparable consequences due to the tester's excessive strength, under normal circumstances, the test soul cave, are done by special people, not only the strength is mild, but also the early preparation is sufficient, and I am not only a spirit animal, but also an ancient spirit beast. The strength is much stronger than that of humans, and there was really no way to take the risk just now, but I didn't expect you to be stronger than I imagined, master" Speaking of this, Xiao Kuiling smiled a little embarrassed.
"It seems that this little thing is that I am a guinea pig......" Yun Tian shook his head helplessly, and did not say anything. He himself understands that this is just the beginning, if he doesn't even dare to take this risk, if he can't even endure this little hardship, then how can he talk about exploring his life experience on this continent full of masters.
......
"Okay, now let's talk about my situation...... What kind of attribute am I?" Yun Tian said lightly.
"That's the second thing I'm going to tell you, master," Xiao Kuiling paused for a moment and continued
"I just walked back and forth in your soul cave three times and found ...... Master, all your soul caves have a seal, and even I can't enter them," Xiao Kui Ling said in a flat tone.
"What?!" Yun Tian's shocked tone was mixed with a touch of disappointment.
"Master, don't be disappointed, it's not these powerful anomalous seals that really surprise me......," Yun Tian frowned slightly, and the expression on his cheeks changed back and forth.
"Although I haven't been able to go into every soul cave to find out, I can already feel from the outside that there is something in your soul cave......
"Originally, I initially thought that so many seals on the master's body were to protect my identity as a Quet from being discovered, but it wasn't until I found out just now that the seals not only sealed the bloodline attributes of your Quet people, but more importantly, sealed the 'soul nest' in each of your soul caves."
"Soul Nest?!...... something," Yun Tian asked confusedly.
"The general Quat soul cave is dead, that is to say, although the soul cave can accommodate spiritual power other than its own soul, but it generally accommodates how much ability the soul itself has, and the soul cave absorbs as much as it wants, at most it is all absorbed, and under normal circumstances, it is very good to be able to absorb seventy percent of the external spiritual power, but if there is a soul nest in the soul cave, it is different, the soul nest can nourish foreign spiritual power, not only can it absorb foreign power to a large extent, but more importantly, it can also cultivate spiritual power, making it stronger, just like a nest that provides growth and development。 As far as I know, there are very few people with soul nests in soul caves, and it's really rare to have soul nests in every soul cave like you," Xiao Kui Ling said in amazement.
Yun Tian nodded as if he didn't understand, the moon just now was obscured by the dark clouds that drifted in for nowhere, and a cool breeze struck, making this hot night much more comfortable......
