Chapter Forty-Eight: The Soul Bottle

"What is this?" Jiang Chengyu asked, Zhao Shiming on the side also saw this thing for the first time, and also cast a curious look at Xiao Wu.

"This is the Spirit Bottle, specially designed to deal with these spirits." Xiao Wu dragged the bottom of the bottle with his right hand and slowly injected a trace of vitality into the spirit bottle, "The spirits below the second layer of Qi training, including the second layer of Qi training, can be directly sucked into its bottle mouth, and the spirits above the third layer of Qi training need to consume their vitality before they can be inhaled, this spirit bottle itself is not of high level, and at most it can inhale the spirit body of the ninth layer of Qi training." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chengyu felt that the spirit body he was holding in his hand was subjected to a pulling force, and after receiving Xiao Wu's signal, he stopped transmitting vitality to his hands, and in just an instant, the palm-sized white jade bottle sucked the resentful spirit in, and it did not struggle at all.

The body of the spirit bottle was entangled, Xiao Wu plugged the lid, regained his composure, and handed it to Jiang Chengyu.

"As long as you continue to infuse the base of the bottle, as long as you spend the same amount of vitality as the spirit level, it only takes a few minutes, and the spirit will be purified and turned into an unconscious spirit. The higher the level, the more time it takes. These spirits will eventually turn into some spherical purple spirit beads, as well as square-shaped milky white crystals, and this is the benefit we can get. Xiao Wu said.

Jiang Chengyu walked to the sofa and sat down, and then did as Xiao Wu said, it took about two minutes and about a half standard amount of vitality to purify this resentful spirit. In his perception, as long as the resentful spirit has not been purified, the vitality he has delivered into it will continue to be consumed, and once the resentful spirit has been purified, he can only inject a small amount of vitality, and no more will be injected.

"The consciousness of the resentful spirit is very chaotic, if it is directly turned into a spirit bead, the spirit bead will be turbid, and the person who uses it will also be affected by a lot of chaotic consciousness bodies." Xiao Wu and Zhao Shiming sat not far from Jiang Chengyu, and they didn't get too close to him, and when Xiao Wu opened his eyes, he knew that Xiao Wu had completed the purification, so he said to him.

Jiang Chengyu's first contact with these really subverted his worldview, but now lying in the palm of his left hand a milky white crystal of about one cubic centimeter and a purple bead of about the same size made him believe that all this was true.

"One cubic centimeter of Yuan Crystal is equivalent to four standard Yuan Qi volumes, and one centimeter diameter of Spirit Bead is also one unit of Spirit Energy." Xiao Wu explained to Jiang Chengyu.

"I consumed one and a half standard amounts when I captured, and I also consumed one and a half standard amounts when I purified, and I got four standard amount of Yuan Qi Yuan Crystals, as well as a spirit bead, which seems to be indeed earned." Jiang Chengyu said, "But how should these be used?" ”

"Yuan Jing's words can be used to assist cultivation and speed up cultivation. As long as you hold it in the palm of your hand when you cultivate, you will know what it does after you try it. However, our biggest takeaway is this spirit bead. Xiao Wu pointed to the purple bead and said, "We cultivators, absorbing and refining the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, can strengthen the physical body, although the soul energy will increase a small amount with the gradual improvement of our own cultivation, but many times the soul strength of cultivators is far lower than their cultivation, the soul strength is not enough, it will have a great impact on the breakthrough, the spirit bead can just make up for the lack of this aspect, and the use method is the same as the use of Yuan Jing." ”

After Jiang Chengyu heard this, he almost understood these concepts, and then asked, "Are there a lot of these resentful spirits?" ”

Xiao Wu sighed at this time, looking out the window at the still misty weather, "This is not much, except for the war years, there will be more resentful spirits, and there are very few such resentful spirits in peacetime." This time, the change in the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi caused the resentful spirits to break through within the Qin Tomb, so that we would have a chance to capture them. ”

"With this bottle, you shouldn't need me to catch a lot of wraiths, right?" Jiang Chengyu shook the spirit bottle in his hand.

"For some reason, I can only use half of the vitality, and Zhao Shiming's level is still low, if there are only two of us, the efficiency is too low. And when encountering some powerful resentful spirits, there will also be dangerous resentful spirits' attack methods, mainly affecting the consciousness of human beings, and if it is serious, our cultivators will be occupied by resentful spirits and become puppets. It's just that if we team up, we're going to take advantage of you. Xiao Wu said with some embarrassment.

"From you, I can learn more about the cultivation world, and I won't be at a loss, just share the benefits equally between the three of us in the future." Jiang Chengyu said this, and the two of them had no opinion, showing a satisfied expression, this teammate was not wrong, at least he would not turn his face because of some petty profits.

"I'll give you as much information as I can here, but it's not a lot." Xiao Wu said, after all, what he knew was only what was recorded on the parchment scrolls handed down from his ancestors.

"There are some relevant materials in my sect, and I will count half of my income as a sect contribution according to what I said before, and exchange it for you for information." Zhao Shiming also said on the side.

"But I'm coming to Chang'an City on a business trip this time, I won't stay long, these resentful spirits ......" Jiang Chengyu looked out the window, Xiao Wu's home was on the tenth floor of this building, "It can fly so high, and the entire Chang'an City is so big, it's not easy to catch them." ”

"Normally, they don't fly to the sky, it's a very energy-consuming thing for them, and that resentful spirit just now should have fluctuated according to the vitality we emitted." Xiao Wu took out another spirit bottle from the closet and handed it to Zhao Shiming.

"This thing is very troublesome to make, and the materials are very expensive, and I only have the capital to make a few this year, so don't break it." In the storage place of the original black metal locket, Xiao Wu also has a piece of parchment similar to the instructions for use, and it also records the production method and use method of the spirit bottle and its effect.

"Didn't you say there was a way to find those wraiths?" Jiang Chengyu remembered that Zhao Shiming had told him before that there was a way to find them in ancient times.

"Yes, yes, it's ......" Zhao Shiming seems to have something unspeakable.

"Are there any difficulties? My ancestors should have had such a method, but unfortunately it has not been handed down. Xiao Wu also had some regrets.

"Tomorrow night, are you free? I can bring that thing over and we'll take a closer look. Zhao Shiming said.

"I should be fine at night." Jiang Chengyu said that tomorrow is Saturday, and he only needs to sort out some relevant documents and materials in the morning and submit them to Liu Guohua.

"Because of this, I won't go to the hospital for a few days, and I have a lot of time." Xiao Wu said.

The three agreed to have dinner together the next day, and Jiang Chengyu and Zhao Shiming said goodbye and left Xiao Wu's house. Before leaving, Xiao Wu also gave Jiang Chengyu a small gift, which was the hidden qi technique that Zhao Shiming said before. At least at the current stage of Qi cultivation, ordinary cultivators would not be able to see through at a glance that Jiang Chengyu was also a cultivator.

After Jiang Chengyu returned to the hotel, it was already half past one in the middle of the night, what a headache, there was something to be busy at work, Liu Guohua was in trouble again, and now even such things as resentful spirits began to appear, how did he feel that his life had suddenly become strange.

The figure of a cute girl came to his mind, "I wonder how she has done her work in the past two days?" Lin Yuchen couldn't help but think of Lin Yuchen being busy with this and that, and the corners of his mouth were exposed. I took out my phone and hesitated to send her a message.

The night in Shangdu is also prosperous, and the fog only adds an elegant veil to it. Lin Yuchen hadn't fallen asleep yet, and the news she had received from her father and brother in the past two days made her feel that the world had changed. When I was a child, I dreamed that I was a princess in a fairy tale, but the day I became a princess, I was at a loss.

"Buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes! The phone vibrated once or twice, and a short message came, seeing the name, Lin Yuchen smiled sweetly, opened the message and read it.

"Sleeping, right? Can the work be completed on time in these two days? I came to Chang'an, but a lot of things happened, some of them were beyond imagination, and I felt that the world had changed in my eyes. Don't be too tired, I can help you if you can't finish the work that can be sent to me. Good night. ”

Jiang Chengyu edited the text message and sent it to Lin Yuchen, just worried that there would be these resentful spirits and the like, whether it would cause harm to his parents, and whether it would cause harm to Lin Yuchen and other people he cared about. After a while, his phone vibrate. After a glance, Lin Yuchen sent it.

"I also feel this way, today has been shrouded in fog, I feel that the world has changed, there is no problem at work, I remember what you taught me, sort out the ideas, arrange the order of doing things before doing things, the efficiency has really improved a lot, why haven't you slept yet?"

Jiang Chengyu smiled faintly and replied to her, "I may have been possessed by the moldy god, I met a new friend today, there was a murder in another friend he was going to introduce to me, and I became the first person to find out, this is not just coming back from the police." ”

After a while, Lin Yuchen's message came, "New friend? Male or female? ”

Just as Jiang Chengyu was about to recover, a second message followed, "What is the situation of the case, has it been resolved?" ”

"It's a man, who runs a calligraphy and painting shop, and a doctor, a doctor with very good medical skills, the case is naturally solved, it's really a very sad story." Jiang Chengyu replied.

After knowing that Jiang Chengyu's new friends were men, Lin Yuchen no longer paid attention to who they were and what they did, and his focus shifted to that story, "What kind of sad story?" ”

Then, Lin Yuchen's mobile phone vibrate, and the screen showed a call from "Jiang Chengyu".

Jiang Chengyu told her the story of the people involved in this incident, and the details and methods of the crime were all brushed aside, and without the bloodshed at the scene, it naturally became sad.

However, before Jiang Chengyu finished the story, Lin Yuchen's regular and steady breathing sound was already heard on the opposite side, and he screamed twice, but there was no response, he should have fallen asleep. Jiang Chengyu didn't hang up the phone, just pressed the mute on his side, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

It's time to advance that plan, or at least to protect yourself from the people around you, in a world like this.
