Chapter 139: Condensing the Soul

The night was thick, the red light in the room faded, Liu Zifeng suppressed the excitement in his heart, exhaled deeply, and after his mood calmed down, he looked at the wine cup on the map in front of him.

Unveiled the wine cup, two golden pieces of iron fell out, and were caught by Liu Zifeng, flipped back and forth a few times, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly said that his impatient temperament was difficult to change. The process of lifting the seal went smoothly, and it seemed that the blue and black true qi condensed by the "Earth Ghost Technique" was more suitable. After divining the Mandate of Heaven at the beginning, it took a lot of energy, and looking at Liu Zifeng's calm and relaxed appearance now, it seems that he didn't exert much strength at all.

Take out the wordless scroll that is familiar with the anomaly, and it may be more appropriate to describe it as the volume of "Earth Ghost Technique" now. Looking at the fine lines on the golden iron sheet, Liu Zifeng was really nervous in his heart. Carefully spread out the volume of "Earth Ghost Technique", put two golden iron pieces on it, and observed intently.

Sure enough, the golden iron pieces suddenly seemed to be urged, and there was an inexplicable aura from the ancient scroll, which made the two iron pieces tremble slightly. Then, I saw that the iron pieces kept shaking, and the golden light flowed like a stream, converging towards the blank space in the ancient scroll. Seeing this scene, Liu Zifeng was naturally ecstatic in his heart, ignoring the dazzling golden light at the moment, his eyes stared at the blank space in the ancient scroll without blinking, his fists clenched, but endless longing appeared in his heart.

The room was quiet, but fortunately, although the golden light was dazzling, it was only a few meters around Liu Zifeng, but it didn't show much far, which saved him a lot of trouble. As the golden light flowed into the scroll little by little, the luster of the two pieces of iron became more and more dim, and it was not long before they lost their spirituality and became inconspicuous. At the same time, after the ancient scroll sucked the last trace of golden light into it, it suddenly burst out with a blue-black light.

Liu Zifeng was staring at the ancient scroll intently, and Leng Buding noticed that a blue and black light lit up, and he was stunned for a moment. However, before he could react, the blue and black light suddenly paused, as if he hesitated for a moment, and then went straight to the willow wind with a "sigh", and instantly disappeared into his dantian.

Seeing this, Liu Zifeng was startled, and a spirit jumped up, and hurriedly looked at the position of his dantian. The robe on his body was intact, leaving no traces. Reaching out and touching it, he didn't find anything abnormal, Liu Zifeng was a little uneasy, he lifted his shirt and checked it again, but he still didn't find anything, as if it was just his illusion for a moment.

"What the hell? Could it be that I read it wrong?" Liu Zifeng muttered to himself, and after a while he finally gave up, looking at the ancient scroll of "Earth Ghost Technique" on the floor, his heart couldn't help but become hot, and he quickly picked it up and opened the previous pages. Just after a few glances, Liu Zifeng was about to laugh out loud, his expression was full of excitement.

"Volume I...... It's the first volume of "Earth Ghost Arts"!"

Liu Zifeng was so excited that he remembered that Song Xitong was still resting, and finally suppressed the urge to roar, and kept muttering: "Volume 1, Volume 1..."

In the house, Liu Zifeng's face was red, his eyes were blazing, and he almost wanted to dance in celebration. This kind of day of being stuck in a realm and still suffering without follow-up mental methods is finally over, just like a poor worm in a cage, a way of life suddenly appeared in front of him, and the feeling of gratitude is beyond words.

It didn't take long for Liu Zifeng to gradually calm down, and this happiness that he couldn't share with others really didn't last long. As soon as I thought of this, a raging flame rose in my heart, and the confidence and enthusiasm that had faded for a long time came to my heart again. After the battle with Liu Zikong in Linghe Mountain, the gap between the two was obvious, and at this moment, Liu Zifeng had a surge of courage from nowhere, and said secretly: "...... next time we meet"

This kind of cranky thinking lasted for an hour, and the ancient scroll of "Earth Ghost Technique" waited quietly in the hands of Liu Zifeng, if the ancient scroll could also have spiritual wisdom, most of them would cast a look of disdain for Liu Zifeng like this. But after seeing Liu Zifeng's longing smirk a few times, he finally got up, opened the ancient scroll in his hand and began to study.

There is not much information on the two fragments, but they also occupy one and a half pages of the scroll. The front is the basic heart method of "Earth Ghost Art", after the basic heart method, there are a lot of new handwriting, the most conspicuous is the two big words at the beginning: "Soul Condensation", let's call it the Soul Condensation Realm.

The next text is an elaboration of the Soul Condensation Realm, which seems to be similar to the description of the Basic Realm, mainly focusing on condensing the soul, which is similar to most mental methods. Liu Zifeng has practiced the deepest heart method of the Luoxia Sect "Jiuxia Xuanjing", and the content of the Yuxia Realm is also based on the soul, and it is estimated that the "Qingxin Jade Book" of the Xuanxin Pavilion and the "Ten Thousand Beasts Map" of the Wufang Gate are roughly the same. However, compared to it, "Earth Ghost Technique" is naturally much stronger, just for the fact that it directly absorbs yin qi and cultivates the soul, other mental methods are ashamed of themselves. But all living beings, if they directly absorb the yin qi and ghost qi, not only will their physique become weak and sickly, but even Shou Yuan will be greatly affected, except for some demon sect disciples in this world who dare to practice like this, there are really not many righteous sect people who dare to try.

Liu Zifeng then looked at it, and below were a few mantras to speed up the absorption of yin qi, as well as the role of condensing the soul. According to what it says, when the soul figure is as clear as the deity, and the yin energy lingers around the body, it can be regarded as a realm of perfection. The last few lines of handwriting describe a magical power called "Gathering Soul Yuan Force", but Liu Zifeng was shocked into a cold sweat after reading it. This magical power sounds mediocre, but it can stir the souls of enemies about ten meters around him with yin qi, and it is quite effective in hand-to-hand combat. It's just that this trick makes Liu Zifeng's expression extremely weird, could it be that he comprehended it from the soul thorn?

When Kun Xuzi handed over the Soul Thorn to Liu Zifeng, he cautiously told him the power of the Soul Thorn, although until now, Liu Zifeng still hasn't used it.

Suppressing many thoughts in his heart, except for the "Soul Condensation" chapter, there was a blank behind, obviously the content of these two fragments of iron was only in this realm, but this was enough to make Liu Zifeng ecstatic. Immediately, Liu Zifeng carefully wrote down a short paragraph of text similar to a mantra in front of him, then closed the scroll and sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

This situation lasted for half an hour, until Liu Zifeng's heart was as calm as water, and there was no longer the slightest distraction in his mind, a trace of blue and black true qi slowly gushed out from his body, gradually covering his body, and the ground in front of him was like a cold winter, and it was actually covered with a layer of white frost. Liu Zifeng didn't know all this, and under the repeated movements of his hands, the whole person seemed to fall into an ethereal and thoughtless realm, and whispered the mantra of the "soul condensation" realm in his mouth.

"If yin and yang are empty, then the yin spirit is empty, the yin qi is empty, and ......the soul is empty;

The sound of a mosquito moaning came from Liu Zifeng's mouth, but seeing that his expression was calm, and he kept reciting the magic in his mouth, the light emitted by the blue and black true qi around his body became brighter and brighter, and finally mixed into a miserable green appearance, reflecting Liu Zifeng's face quite strangely. If you look at it from a distance, you can see that there seems to be a dark green fog enveloping him, and there are frequent bursts of cold and cold, and he can feel the chill inside just by looking at it for a moment.

Liu Zifeng didn't know anything about the changes around him, and he was engrossed in casting the mantra of the "Condensing Soul" realm, tirelessly over and over again. It wasn't until later that I saw that his expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had encountered something obscure, and the true qi that was constantly wandering around his body was also stagnant, and he fell into a state of stalemate.

"Soul Condensation...... Absorb yin qi into the body, gather in the soul, and use the soul body to run the mental method...... It's simple, but what is the right thing to do?"

Liu Zifeng pondered and thought hard, but he couldn't find the way, and the person who wanted to come to this world to practice such a secret technique was probably only himself, and when he encountered a jerky and difficult place, he could only silently scrutinize it himself. Although all the laws in the world are universal, "Earth Ghost Art" is an outlier among the different, and most of the people know about it.

In this way, Liu Zifeng sat quietly and cultivated, and the true qi on the surface of his body also fluctuated and rose from time to time with his mind, changing various states from time to time, which looked very strange.

This meditation lasted for about two hours, and the moonlight was shining outside the window, and it was already late at night. Since entering Linghe Mountain, Liu Zifeng has never had a good night's sleep, and today he can persist in practicing the Dao Fa, mostly because he was excited about his first mental method. At this moment, although he is extremely down-to-earth in the basic Dao method, this mental method of the "soul condensation" realm has its own subtlety, Liu Zifeng thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't think of it, so he had to give up.

Exhaling a long breath, Liu Zifeng got up, and suddenly a feeling of back pain hit. Under the slackness of his spirit, the fatigue of the past few days finally overshadowed his will, and his whole body seemed to fall apart.

After moving his muscles and bones, and putting away the ancient scrolls and beast bone compasses scattered on the ground, Liu Zifeng looked at the wooden bed on one side, and his face showed a hint of embarrassment.

This wooden bed is not small, and it is not tight to sleep two or three people in a spacious place. However, at this moment, it was Song Xitong sleeping peacefully on the side of the wooden bed, her beautiful eyes were closed, and her nose moved slightly. The quilt on her body was kicked away, only half of her body was covered, she was wearing a thin blue satin coat, her long silver hair was spread like a cloud, and she was obviously sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, Liu Zifeng shook his head, walked over to help her cover the quilt, and then turned around and walked out of the door, ready to squeeze with the fortune teller and them. However, before he could open the door, there was a snoring sound like an earth-shattering sound coming from the house. Liu Zifeng's face darkened, and he pushed the door in, only to see the two sleeping together on their backs, and the already spacious wooden bed was completely occupied by the two.

Listening to the wave after wave of snoring, Liu Zifeng smiled bitterly, gently closed the door, and said that sleeping with these two guys was bad luck. Back to his and Song Xitong's room, Liu Zifeng put the two futons away, and then took out two pieces of clothing from the package and spread them on the ground, so he had to get together tonight.
