At this time, it was still early to the time agreed with Fan Xiaohuang, but Xia Qingyang was in a hurry all the way, fortunately, the road to the back mountain was very smooth, and Xia Qingyang's footsteps did not take half an hour to arrive.

After looking around, he found a dense forest and got into it, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a soul stone and put it in front of him, he planned to use this time to try to open up another soul aperture and improve a little soul power.

Fan Xiaohuang is undoubtedly a strong opponent, and he is not very sure, the more strength he has, the more chance he has to win, which means that he has the ghost soul technique, otherwise it is impossible to call others to do such a thing as grinding their guns.

However, the development of things was beyond his expectations, although the soul power in a soul stone was quickly absorbed, the twelfth soul aperture in his body was not opened for a long time.

"It's weird. Xia Qingyang couldn't help but fall into deep thought, after refining the three-tailed fox in the labyrinth, he didn't open up the soul aperture, he was already a little suspicious, and then felt that it might be because his necromancy was not proficient enough, which led to the loss of part of his soul power, but now it seems that there is another problem.

A primordial soul equivalent to a one-star soul master-level demon beast, and an ordinary soul stone, the soul power provided is theoretically enough to open up two soul knots, but now it hasn't even opened one, which is really strange.

After thinking for a while, Xia Qingyang had no choice but to take out another soul stone, and the necromancy was quickly struck, and the Dao soul power entered the body and converged to a certain place.

Finally, there were no more accidents this time, and with a crisp sound, the twelfth soul aperture was finally opened, raising Xia Qingyang's soul power to twelve points.

However, he had no intention of stopping his cultivation, and took out a soul stone again, which was also the mustard seed bag he got from the fat shopkeeper, and he had dozens of soul stones for nothing, otherwise how could he be so extravagant.

A quarter of an hour later, the soul power in the soul stone was exhausted, Xia Qingyang frowned, looked at the inside of the body that was not moving, and thought hard, and finally he had a bold guess: Although the refining soul power speed of the Ghost Soul Technique is peerless, the refining efficiency is greatly reduced, so it takes more souls to improve a little soul power.

With this guess, Xia Qingyang did not hesitate to take out the fourth soul stone and the fifth soul stone, however, the result once again stunned him, and the three soul stones still failed to get through the thirteenth soul aperture.

Xia Qingyang, who was about to go crazy after being tortured, simply got up and ended his cultivation, looked up to see that the moonlight was not bad tonight, so he climbed to a tree, squatted down, and leisurely admired the moon.

After a while, there was a sound of Suo Suo in the forest, Xia Qingyang's heart moved, he held his breath, looked quietly, and finally found a purple-eyed ferret under a tree, which was carefully observing the surrounding environment, it should have just come out of the cave.

Xia Qingyang's spirit perked up, this purple-pupiled ferret was the same as the three-tailed fox, it was a demon beast equivalent to a one-star soul master, the speed was extremely fast, a pair of purple pupils could shoot out strange light, disturbing people's minds, but in general, it was a demon beast with weak attack power.

The ferret did not find Xia Qingyang, under the cover of the shadow of the forest, he rushed into the distance, Xia Qingyang wanted to make a move, but suddenly thought of something, and let go of the hand holding the hunting knife, it is said that this purple-eyed ferret likes to come out at night to forage, and this guy's mouth is very tricky, mostly feeding on spirit grass.

"Let's go up and take a look, maybe you'll find a spirit grass or two. Xia Qingyang made up his mind, slipped down from the tree, and quietly followed.

The ferret was very cunning, often suddenly changing direction, or suddenly stopping and turning his head to take a look, fortunately, Xia Qingyang was also a veteran and experienced, so he was not discovered.

After following all the way, a mink and a person finally appeared on a wide flat land in the back mountain, and after the ferret made a final observation, it plunged into a nursery that seemed to be artificially organized, and after a while, there was a sound of gnawing.

"Good guy!" After seeing the situation clearly, Xia Qingyang gasped, looking at this posture, it was clear that it was the place where the Qianyang Sect planted the spirit grass, and this ferret was too fat, but it was not quite right to think about it, it was impossible for such an important place to be unguarded, and looking at the appearance of this ferret being familiar with the road, it was obviously not the first time, how could the Qianyang Sect be so careless.

But no matter what, he couldn't let this little beast spoil the spirit grass at will, Xia Qingyang secretly retreated a distance and found an excellent ambush location to hide.

Half an hour later, the purple-eyed ferret was finally full, its round belly was very obvious in the moonlight, and even the speed of running was much slower.

Xia Qingyang, who was good at ambushing and killing, was half-hunched and ready to attack, staring at the ferret's route with his eyes, and after it entered the attack range, he pounced out, the ferret was extremely alert, and he found Xia Qingyang almost immediately, and his body made a ninety-00-degree turn in the run, and the speed did not decrease at all.

It's a pity that he met Xia Qingyang, and he had already calculated the ferret's move, and the hunting knife spun and flew out, and the position where the felling was exactly the direction in which the ferret turned.

However, as a demon beast, and a demon beast known for its speed, it is not so easy to deal with, and with a shake of its fluffy tail, it is impossible to change direction again, although the speed has slowed down a bit, but it is just able to dodge the attack of the hunting knife.

Xia Qingyang, who had not yet landed in mid-air, snorted coldly, his eyes were like electricity, and his right hand, which had already recovered his ability to move under the nourishment of soul power, suddenly flicked his fingers, and a stone flew out in response, hitting the back of the ferret's head.

"Squeak-" The ferret screamed in pain, tilted its body, and fell to the ground, but the reaction was also very fast, the little paws kicked a few times, struggled to straighten up, and was about to get up and run again, when he suddenly felt the chrysanthemum tighten, and his tail was pulled from behind by a big hand.

The ferret naturally did not restrain its hands, turned its head, and the two purple pupils were about to show their housekeeping skills, only to feel a flash of coldness, and a bright hunting knife had cut off its neck.

There was no time to sigh at this perfect ambush, Xia Qingyang hurriedly sat down cross-legged, and quickly punched out the necromancy seal with both hands, and the Dao soul power gathered in the body, and after a while, there was a soft sound in the body, and the thirteenth soul trick suddenly opened up, so far Xia Qingyang was close to the mid-stage realm of a one-star soul master.

In addition to being excited, Xia Qingyang also realized that the first stage of the Necromancy Technique was mainly based on refining the dead souls, so it was no wonder that the previous continuous refining of three soul stones had not succeeded in opening up the soul aperture.

Think about it, before opening the tenth soul aperture, he had refined the giant python soul in the mountains, and on the way to escape, he also refined the original soul of some beasts, and he used a soul stone to open the tenth soul aperture and achieved a one-star soul master; when he opened the eleventh soul aperture, he refined the original soul of the demon beast green-eyed poisonous scorpion; the twelfth soul aperture was based on the original soul of the three-tailed fox that had been refined before.

"In this way, it must be that every time you open a soul aperture, you have to refine at least one demon beast's original soul. Xia Qingyang figured out the key to necromancy, but he was worried again: "Where can I find so many demon beasts?"

"Isn't it easy to find demon beasts?" suddenly said coldly beside him.

"Who?" Xia Qingyang jumped up directly with a hunting knife in his hand, and couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, and when he saw clearly that it was an obscene old man squatting beside the snow sculpture not far away, his eyes were clear and said, "The old man is from the Qianyang Sect?"

The old man was not wearing the standard clothes of the Qianyang Sect, so Xia Qingyang had this question.

"You're a new disciple this year, and you've already learned soul alchemy, it's not easy. The old man turned his head to look at Xia Qingyang.

Xia Qingyang's heart tightened, and he said quietly: "This has nothing to do with you, but you came to the Qianyang Sect in the middle of the night, what do you want?"

"Hey!" the old man sneered, shook his head, and said, "Where did you pick up this soul alchemy?"

Xia Qingyang's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he clenched the hunting knife in his hand.

The old man seemed to be out of sight, and sighed: "Your soul alchemy technique must not be of low grade, but it doesn't look very complete, you should have explored and cultivated by yourself, right?" After speaking, he didn't wait for Xia Qingyang to answer, and then said: "If you don't use soul stones to cultivate, soul refining must first seal the soul, seal the original soul and store it in the body, and then slowly refine it in the future. ”

"I see. Xia Qingyang put on a teachable appearance and saluted respectfully: "Thank you seniors for your advice." "In fact, I didn't think so, this ghost soul technique was different from ordinary soul alchemy, and there was no need for the step of soul sealing at all.

The old man waved his hand indifferently and said, "I'll take a look at how many more mudras you play, and I'll take a look at the last few hands just now." ”

Xia Qingyang tried his best to restrain the impulse in his heart, sat down, and played the necromancy, but the order was adjusted individually, and the techniques were not all right, and it seemed a little rusty.

Sure enough, after the old man saw it, he sighed: "This should at least be an excellent grade soul alchemy, or even higher, but it's a pity that it's incomplete, otherwise your kid will be developed." ”

"The kid doesn't understand that. Xia Qingyang scratched his head, made a youthful look, and said, "The predecessor is also from the Qianyang Sect?"

This was the second time he asked, but the old man seemed unwilling to answer, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Xia Qingyang. Xia Qingyang didn't hide it.

Xia Qingyang??? "The old man muttered a few words, then suddenly got up and left, carrying the dead snow sculpture in his hand, and said, "I will use this beast, and the book will be exchanged for you." He had disappeared into the night.

Xia Qingyang only found out at this time that there was a book in the place where the old man was squatting, he went over to pick it up and looked at it, and there were five big characters written on the shabby cover: Great Encyclopedia.
