Chapter 4: The Secret of Soul Extraction
"How so!?"
"Huh?" Xiao Lingfeng glanced at Xiao Moli in surprise and asked, "Li'er, what's wrong?"
Xiao Moli calmed down: "Father, can you buy this painting?" I have a feeling that I seem to need this painting very much. It feels like maybe I need it to break through. ”
"It's strange, but maybe it's a coincidence. Just buy it and try it. Five hundred gold coins. ”
Mei Niang waited for a while after introducing this picture of the mountain, and found that no one was competing, thinking that it was probably going to be unauctioned. Just as he was about to introduce the next lot, a voice came.
"Five hundred gold coins. ”
Mei Niang was taken aback, and then rejoiced, "The head of the Xiao family has paid five hundred gold coins, but there are friends who are raising the price?"
A voice came from the No. 1 VIP room, "Yo, what, did the head of the Xiao family find out what is the mystery in this painting?
It was Xu Yingquan, the head of the Xu family, who spoke.
"Hehe, I can't even find out the Qiushui Trading House, how can I understand the mystery of it? My Xiao family's lobby is empty, wouldn't it be wonderful to frame this painting and hang it on the wall. After all, it was also made by the Lingtai monk, and I was more interested in the 'one color of the landscape' in the lobby of the Xu family, so I wonder if the master of the Xu family can borrow me to look at it for a few days? Maybe I can see what the mystery is. ”
Referring to "one color of mountains and rivers", Xu Yingquan's tone was obviously a little cold, "Hmph, how can my Xu family's 'one color of mountains and rivers' be comparable to this painting, since the head of the Xiao family has this Yaxing, why not come to the Xu family to sit, there is time for you to see." ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and thought to themselves, it seems that the Xu family really wants to annex the Xiao and Han families, could it be that Old Man Xu has recovered from his injuries? If this is the case, if this Xiao Lingfeng really goes to the Xiao family, he is afraid that he will not be able to come back. Obviously, Xu Yingquan also meant this.
The Xu family's "one color of mountains and rivers" was left by the ancestors of the Xu family when they established the Xu family, and it is said that those with high talent will comprehend a set of Xuan-level high-grade martial arts. At that time, the ancestor of the Xu family did not put this martial art into the library for the sake of the Xu family's ability, but used the power of the Yuan Shen to rub it into the painting. The ancestor of the Xu family also set the rules and warned the disciples who could comprehend this set of martial arts to "pass on the law to six ears".
Such a priceless painting is naturally indispensable to the idea of it. It is said that all those who had the idea for this painting disappeared, and the result is self-evident.
Although there are very few people in the Xu family who have comprehended the martial arts for many years, for the Xu family, "the same color of mountains and rivers" is not only a martial arts inheritance, but also a family heirloom. Therefore, as soon as Xiao Lingfeng proposed "one color of mountains and rivers", Xu Yingquan felt that this painting did not matter, but felt that he could use "one color of mountains and rivers" to deal with Xiao Lingfeng. Therefore, there was no bidding.
In the end, Xiao Lingfeng auctioned this "mountain climbing top picture" at a price of 500 gold coins.
When the people from Qiushui Commercial House sent the "Mountain Climbing Superb Map", Xiao Lingfeng said:
"Almost, there's no need to grab the things in the back. ”
"Father doesn't go to the competition for the high-grade treasures? The third uncle doesn't seem to have a high-grade treasure, right?"
"No need, Xu Yingquan is ambitious, he wants to suppress my Xiao family everywhere, if it is useless to us, he will stop, if he really wants to bid for something useful to us, he will make a move, after all, for him, our strength can be less than one point. He will not miss the auction, an occasion where the whole city is basically snobbish, which can not only show his strength in front of outsiders, but also suppress our development. Like Fire Thunderwood, it has no value at all, and even if it re-sprouts, it is just a curious ornament in everyone's eyes. But if the "Mountain Climbing to the Top Picture" didn't talk about the "color of the landscape", he wouldn't let me take it at all, and even if it was photographed, it would pay a lot of price. ”
"Then why didn't my father let him auction it at a high price? Qiushui Commercial Bank does not allow malicious bidding, but a little bit of additional use can make him lose a lot of money. ”
Xiao Lingfeng shook his head, "If it weren't for this 'Mountain Climbing Absolute Map', I would naturally be like this, but since this thing may help you break through, then it is not appropriate to completely tear your face with him." After all, you need time to grow, and I'm sure you'll grow to incredible heights. ”
Xiao Moli was also moved in his heart when he heard these words, and Momo swore that he would not disappoint his father.
After a while, Xiao Moli and his son left Qiushui Commercial Bank and returned to the Xiao family.
..............................
Xiao Jiaqingsong Annex, this is Xiao Moli's place of residence and cultivation. The courtyard is surrounded by lush green pines, evergreen all year round, and the scenery is pleasant. In the center of the courtyard is an exquisite two-story attic, which is where Xiao Moli lives. The second floor of the attic is a resting place, and the first floor is a practice room and hall.
After returning from Qiushui Commercial Bank, Xiao Lingfeng handed over the "Mountain Climbing Peak Map" and the thunder fire wood to Xiao Moyi. At this moment, Xiao Moli was painstakingly studying the "Mountain Climbing Peak Picture" in the practice room.
"What's so mysterious about this painting? I can feel that mystery every time, but I just can't find the reason. ”
Xiao Moli frowned, but he couldn't find the answer he wanted. I was a little depressed. I thought to myself, this thing can't really only be sobering, right? I'm about to tear this painting down, and I don't find any mechanism or anything. Could it be that it will be burned or flooded? If you don't figure it out, it won't be a loss.
Xiao Moli thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a good solution, and thought to himself: "Is it possible to use Yuan Qi to induce?" But I haven't reached the Qi refining period yet. Besides, if the Yuan Qi could be sensitive, the Qiushui Trading House would have researched what the use of painting would have been studied a long time ago. ”
At this moment, a feeling of longing appeared in my mind again. Xiao Moli didn't dare to delay for a moment, and felt what was going on with this feeling. After about five minutes, the sensation was gone, as if it were a lack of succession.
Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration. "Could it be mental power?"
The more Xiao Moli thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he didn't want to delay for a moment, so he went out and went directly to the library pavilion. Xiao Moli remembered that there was a book describing spiritual power and several spiritual power tips in the library cabinet.
Two minutes later, Xiao Moli came to the library pavilion.
"Fourth grandfather, I'm here to find a book. ”
In the hall on the first floor of the Library Pavilion, a white-haired old man heard the voice, put down his teacup and smiled slightly. "Mo Li, what kind of book are you looking for? Just register it. ”
Xiao Moli pondered for a moment: "A recipe for cultivating spiritual power. ”
The fourth grandfather was stunned, "Spiritual power cultivation is very rare, and you need to have a special talent in spiritual power, what do you want to do with this?"
"I want to try to find out if I can find out the problems of my body by cultivating my spiritual power, maybe I can, after all, this is also a way, and there is no harm. ”
Xiao Moli didn't say anything about the top of the mountain, and he was not completely sure of it, so it was inconvenient to reveal what he thought.
"Okay, our Xiao family's best spiritual power cultivation method is that there are only fragments of the "Soul Derivation Technique", which can be regarded as a yellow-level top-grade magic method, on the third floor, you can find it yourself, this spiritual power cultivation, our Xiao family has not had a spiritual power cultivator for many years, if you really have this talent, it is also good." ”
After knowing where the "Soul Derivation Technique" was, Xiao Moli went straight to the third floor.
Xiao Moli came to the third floor, looked for every exercise, and finally found this "Soul Derivation Formula" on a shelf against the wall on the third floor, Xiao Moli flipped through it, and after determining the usefulness of this "Soul Derivation Formula", he took this method and left the library pavilion and returned to his Qingsong Courtyard.
..................
Xiao Moli looked through the "Soul Derivation Formula" in the practice room and found that the "Soul Derivation Formula" was indeed very mysterious. It is recorded on the first page that the Soul Derivation Technique is divided into nine levels of cultivation, but in fact, this fragment is only three of them, and the first is how to use spiritual power in cultivation.
Xiao Moli planned to start studying the map of the mountain climbing to the top after cultivating to the first level.
"I don't know if spiritual power works, no matter what, let's cultivate first and see, maybe using spiritual power can also become a new means. Xiao Moli said silently.
According to the description of the Soul Derivation Technique, the strength of the spiritual power is related to the soul. It can also be said that spiritual power is the basic use of soul power, but it takes a long way to cultivate spiritual power into soul power, and spiritual power and soul power can be used in many aspects, such as alchemy, refining, spiritual attack, soul attack, etc. And the soul happens to be the most mysterious part of the human body, so many soul injuries or problems are difficult to solve.
For example, amnesia, amnesia is simple, but it is very difficult to recover memories because it hurts the soul, and there are few ways to do it. Another example is a fool, born with a crippled soul that cannot be replenished, and there is no cure for his life of stupidity and stupidity. And some geniuses have very strong comprehension ability, and the speed of comprehension of exercises or martial arts exceeds that of ordinary people, which is also the reason why the soul is stronger than ordinary people in nature.
Seeing this, Xiao Moli was also embarrassed, "The importance of the soul is self-evident, it seems that it is necessary to learn the spiritual power method, maybe I will encounter an attack from the soul in the future, so I will not be inexplicably enlightened." ”
Stopping his thoughts, Xiao Moli focused his attention on the cultivation of the Soul Derivation Technique.
As the cultivation progressed, a clear stream wandered through the mind, causing a burst of clarity in the mind. But whenever this clear stream wanders to the depths of his mind, he feels that something is always blocking this, and this feeling makes Xiao Moli inexplicably depressed.
"Why is that? Could it be that I still have something hidden in my head?"
Xiao Moli was puzzled, but his cultivation still didn't stop. If it doesn't work once, I try it a few more times, thinking that maybe this is how mental power cultivation is, maybe this is a difficulty.
After eating in the evening, Xiao Moli continued to cultivate the Soul Cultivation Technique, and after an afternoon of cultivation, he had already achieved initial results. I feel that my mind is relatively clear, and I can control my mental power a little, but it is still unstable, to this extent, Xiao Moli is still not satisfied, for the use of mental power is unstable, who knows if there will be problems when exploring the top map of the mountain. I secretly calculated that in two days of cultivation, I would almost be able to find out the top of the mountain.
