Chapter 0235: Tan Lao's Proposal
If an elite soul master is the true starting point of the soul master's path, then an excellent soul master is undoubtedly a leap forward.
This not only means that you can use powerful soul skills and have a longer lifespan, but most importantly, it means that a soul master has since broken away from his own limitations, and has begun to truly communicate with the world, make up for his own shortcomings, and move towards the perfect form of the Yuan Soul.
Elite soul masters are just getting a glimpse of the door, and only excellent soul masters can be called entering the house.
The third step of soul alchemy, Soul Gathering, is not carried out in the late stage like Soul Condensation and Soul Separation, but begins at the moment after being promoted to an excellent soul master.
Of course, Xia Qingyang didn't care about these now, he was still immersed in the joy of advancing to an outstanding soul master.
He had no reason to be unhappy, or even complacent, he had been promoted to an excellent soul master in less than a year, and this kind of cultivation speed was out of the ordinary category, and it was not enough to describe this miracle as a genius.
Jin Pang obviously felt Xia Qingyang's joy, but at this time, it didn't rush forward to ask for credit, and it looked a little wilted, obviously Fang Cai's shot made it pay a lot of price.
Xia Qingyang inquired, and learned that he was not injured because he had consumed too much, so he was relieved, threw him hundreds of soul stones, and got up and walked out of the cave.
The green wood wolf was looking in the hole probe, and when he saw Xia Qingyang coming out, he hurriedly pushed a push of nuts and nuts in front of him, and looked up at Xia Qingyang.
"Well, you're obedient. Xia Qingyang didn't touch the nut, bent down and stroked the green wood wolf's head with his hand, got up and looked around, and said, "Go, go out with me." ”
The promotion to the Outstanding Soul Master gave him full confidence, although he didn't dare to say that he could confront Ziyan Palace head-on, but he didn't have to hide like before.
Xia Qingyang's strength has increased dramatically now, and his speed has increased several times, and in the rapid running, he can also accurately capture the wind and grass within a range of hundreds of meters with the same greatly improved senses.
The Borderland was not too big, Xia Qingyang circled around the center in an arc according to the intensity of the mist, and when he turned to a third, he saw a soul master, and the speed should be an elite soul master.
It stands to reason that if there is nothing important, the soul master usually does not rush as if he is desperate, but the posture of this soul master in a hurry is indeed like he is desperate, as if he is being chased and killed.
Xia Qingyang was puzzled in his heart and quietly followed.
After about a quarter of an hour's effort, the soul master's speed slowed down, and Xia Qingyang also slowed down, and the soul master suddenly flashed horizontally, and turned towards the depths of the mist, which was the central location of the exile land.
Xia Qingyang chased after him without hesitation, this time he only walked about a few miles, and a valley appeared in front of him, the valley mouth was very wide, and the mountains on both sides were extremely high, which was not the same as the hills he had seen before.
This made Xia Qingyang a little strange, because according to his previous observations, the place of exile was a funnel-shaped terrain in the outer high interior, and several high mountains were also on the periphery, and after entering the Borderland, he almost never saw high mountains, all of them were low hilly landforms.
But a mountain thousands of meters high suddenly rose from the ground, which was very abrupt, and Xia Qingyang intuitively felt that this place was likely to involve the secrets of the exiled land.
The soul masters in front had stopped, and there were still a lot of soul masters gathered there, but most of them were fighting separately, at most three or two were standing together, and these people were all facing the other direction of the valley, so they didn't notice Xia Qingyang's appearance.
Walking into the valley, the air inside was surprisingly refreshing, and the fog was very thin, until it was a hundred meters away from the entrance of the valley, that is, where the soul masters stood, and the fog became thick again.
Xia Qingyang took a few steps forward, but found that the green wood wolf that he put down and walked by himself cowered, and seemed to be very afraid, Xia Qingyang thought about it and lifted it up again, clamped it under his armpit, and walked forward.
Those soul masters finally found out about Xia Qingyang's arrival, and immediately showed a vigilant look, there are only hundreds of soul masters in this borderland, after so many years, they have long been very familiar with each other, and the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar face naturally attracts attention.
A big man in the middle said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is a member of the four major forces?"
"It's not. Xia Qingyang smiled and shook his head.
"New here?" the big man raised his eyebrows.
"Yes. Xia Qingyang smiled and nodded, with a kind attitude.
The big man nodded and didn't ask any more questions, then turned to focus on the mist again.
Xia Qingyang turned around and walked to the side of the valley, put the green wood wolf on the ground, and turned his head to look at the valley, an old man with hobbled steps was walking into the valley, but it was the old man Xia Qingyang met that day.
Seeing this old man again, Xia Qingyang became more and more puzzled in his heart, with his current realm and the innate soul technique of the Primal Yuan Soul breaking through the sky, even an ordinary perfect soul master could not completely disguise himself as an ordinary person in front of him without revealing his flaws.
This shows that this person is either really an ordinary person, or an extremely powerful master, at least not an ordinary perfect soul master.
But either possibility is an incredible thing, because neither of these two seems likely to be thrown into this place of exile.
After seeing Xia Qingyang, the old man actually took the initiative to nod and say hello, and then walked back and forth in front of the mist, and finally walked to Xia Qingyang's side.
Xia Qingyang didn't know what he meant, so he nodded his head, but he didn't take the initiative to speak.
After a while, the originally calm mist suddenly became irritable, and its concentration rose sharply, like boiling water, making a gurgling sound.
Seeing this scene, the soul masters who had been standing sat cross-legged on the ground in unison, paying close attention to the changes in the mist.
The old man suddenly stepped forward at this time, walked behind the big man in the middle who had asked Xia Qingyang's words, and said in a low voice: "Boss Jin, can you let the little old man take a seat, just a quarter of an hour." ”
The big man surnamed Jin didn't pay attention to him, but a man next to him turned his head and shouted: "The surname Tan, don't pretend to be pitiful with our boss here, I think when you were majestic, you didn't put us in your eyes." ”
The old man bent down and bowed his head, and there was begging in his voice: "At that time, it was also the duty, I can't help myself, there are a lot of people in Jin, please have mercy on my poor granddaughter???"
"Old Tan. Boss Jin finally spoke: "I have said many times, it is not that the brothers are ruthless, it is really the order of the four major forces, we really dare not disobey, but-it is still the same sentence, as long as you hand over your granddaughter, I will fight for my life, and I will protect your ancestors and grandchildren." ”
"Boss Kim??? This ???" The old man was clearly in a difficult situation.
"Alright. Boss Jin waved his hand: "You can come to me after you think about it." ”
The old man sighed, moved his body and returned to Xia Qingyang's side.
"Old Tan, what are you doing here?" Xia Qingyang knew the old man's surname from Boss Jin and the soul masters around him.
"Alas, for the sake of the Soul Power Bead. Tan Lao's tone was full of helplessness and disappointment.
"This?" Xia Qingyang took out a soul power bead, the silver-tailed finch had been collected into the beast king seal, its soul power bead was naturally collected by Xia Qingyang, and the soul power bead of the green wood wolf had nowhere to store it, and it was all left here by Xia Qingyang.
Coupled with the soul masters obtained from the Purple Flame Palace, Xia Qingyang now has hundreds of soul power beads in his hands.
Xia Qingyang has studied this, and the soul power contained in it is far inferior to that of ordinary soul stones, about one-tenth of it, but it is not much faster than soul stones when refined, and it is better for ordinary soul masters to use it, and elite soul masters use it for cultivation, which is really half the effort.
But Xia Qingyang had a strong interest in this soul power bead, although he was worth a lot of money, he didn't have many high-grade soul stones on his body, and now that he was an excellent soul master, relying on the existing soul stones was obviously not enough for him to cultivate to the late stage of an excellent soul master.
For this reason, he specially calculated an account, the current soul power value is 1,000 points, and if you want to cultivate to the late stage of an excellent soul master, you need **1,000 points, that is, **1,000 excellent soul stones, which are converted into ordinary soul stones.
But although Xia Qingyang's ghost soul technique is fast in refining soul objects, the utilization efficiency is not high, and the refining efficiency of this first necromancy is about a quarter of that of ordinary soul alchemy, which means that it requires four times as many soul stones, although Xia Qingyang has many soul stones, there are not so many.
What's more, his Nether Soul Technique is still stuck in the first level, and he has never been able to break through to the second level of Yang Restoration Technique, which means that his cultivation is not enough to rely on soul stones, but also to refine the dead soul.
But according to his observation, the number of demon beasts in this exiled land is pitiful, even if he kills them all, I am afraid that it will not be enough, and there is not much left of the demon yuan obtained from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, so he can't count on it.
However, there was a dead aura in this soul power bead, which was somewhat similar to the Beast Soul Pill, but Xia Qingyang hadn't figured out the ins and outs of this thing yet, so he didn't dare to try to use it.
risking the risk of exposing his whereabouts, Xia Qingyang mainly did this, but now it seems that he has come to the right place.
Seeing the soul power bead in Xia Qingyang's hand, Tan Lao first showed a look of surprise, and then seemed to think of something, and said, "It's better not to take these out." ”
Obviously, he guessed the origin of the soul power bead in Xia Qingyang's hand, and also vaguely reminded him to be careful that it was done on it, but he didn't know that Xia Qingyang was already an excellent soul master, and he was afraid that no one in this exile could do anything without being discovered by him.
Xia Qingyang took out a mustard seed bag and gave it to him: "These are for you." ”
Tan Lao hesitated for a moment, took it and looked at it, but he didn't show much joy, Xia Qingyang frowned and said, "Not enough?"
Tan Lao nodded.
Xia Qingyang gave him two hundred soul power beads, which is equivalent to twenty soul stones, which is indeed not much, but he doesn't have much friendship with this person, and listening to the meaning of the golden boss, this person didn't seem to be a good stubble before, so he didn't say anything more.
At this time, the fog over there became more and more violent, and the soul masters who had been preparing for a long time finally began to do it, and the seals they cast were all the same, extremely complicated.
Xia Qingyang caught the fluctuation of soul power, and his heart moved, "Are they making soul power beads?"
"Hmm. Tan Lao looked at the mist in a daze, a little absent-minded.
"You will also know this seal?" Xia Qingyang asked.
"Hmm. Tan Lao nodded again, and after a few seconds, he suddenly turned around: "I have a proposal." ”
"Do you want me to help you make soul power beads?" Xia Qingyang said with a smile.
"Then you can't do it?"
"Don't. ”
