Even though Xiao Shi's answer and explanation were not logical in the slightest, Xin Yu still heard the meaning of his words.

In fact, the relationship between the soul and the body is not as described in many of Xin Yu's previous works, which is that the soul controls human activities.

In fact, or in the law of life, the soul is a kind of "evidence" of human existence, and it is the energy contained in spiritual power that governs and directs all human activities, including conscious activities. In other words, the soul is the essence of human existence, but it has little to do with human activity.

Perhaps, it is impossible for humans to exist without souls, but this is only a necessary condition for human activity, but it is definitely not a sufficient condition. Speaking of which, Xin Yu is not clear about the laws of life. In his consciousness, the soul and the body should be interdependent, and if the body dies, then the soul should also die.

However, through Xiao Shi's explanation, Xin Yu understood that although the soul is important to human beings, it is the spiritual power that directs human activities.

And the current state of Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua has "violated" such a law, they have no spiritual power at all, so it has become their soul to command and control the activities of consciousness. We all know that in the activity of consciousness, whether the activity is intense or not, in fact, a certain amount of energy is consumed. Without the energy of spiritual power, according to the principle of conservation of energy, Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua are bound to consume the energy of the soul.

As for the energy of physical activity, because the body itself will also store some energy such as fat, and now the spiritual energy of Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua is just used to "give orders".

Although the energy required to form instructions and transmit them through the nerves is very small, if you don't use a figurative analogy, this is like an ordinary button battery, which can support a black and white LCD screen display for a long time. And for the formation of the "instruction" itself, the energy required is also very scarce...... As for conveying instructions, it doesn't take much energy, after all, the body's own energy can also be used as a supplement.

However, even if the energy consumed by pure conscious activity is relatively small, it is a great burden when the energy consumed comes from the soul.

After all, the soul itself does not contain much energy, not to mention that Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua are both ordinary people who have no cultivation, even if Xin Yu is a strong person who is about to enter the realm of a great star magician, his own soul is still fragile.

Seeing that Xin Yu didn't make a sound for a long time, Xiao Shi thought that he still hadn't figured it out, and continued to say in a rambling voice: "The reason why you can't sense their mental fluctuations is because their souls are directing the activities of their bodies, and the soul energy and the activity state of the soul are simply not perceivable by you at the moment. Only beings like me, who are purely in the state of the soul, or those who have legalized the soul, can perceive the activity of the soul. Under normal circumstances, if the soul is not regularized, that is, the soul is not integrated with the spiritual energy, it is impossible to direct the operation of the body. So, I wonder how your parents broke this rule...... Well, well, now is not the time to study this, I would like to say that despite the cruel reality, you better be mentally prepared and go with the flow. After all, your parents are not beings with strong souls, and their soul energy can support them in this state for a few hours at most. When the energy of their souls is exhausted, eventually not only their bodies will die, but also their souls will be destroyed. In other words, even if you find a treasure that can save their soul now, it is impossible to save their soul......"

When Xin Yu heard Xiao Shi's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, yes, Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua really haven't gone through cultivation, and their souls are not strong enough. However, their souls have not disappeared yet, and if he uses a treasure like a flying locust stone parasitized by a small stone, or a treasure similar to a "star stone" that can attach to a soul, can he save the souls of his parents?

Xin Yu didn't think that at some stage in the future, he could rely on his parents' souls to bring them back to life, but even if his parents' souls could not be resurrected, at least there was something for him to hang on, and even, if he could raise the level of cultivation to the limit, maybe he would find a way to resurrect the soul.

Speaking of which, Xin Yu himself also knew that his thoughts were crazy, after all, this flying locust stone attached to a small stone was an extremely rare treasure in the universe, not to mention that it would be impossible to meet it in a lifetime without a great opportunity, that is, there were things in the cosmic astral world, and now he didn't have time to find it to give his parents' souls a "place to live".

As for the "Star Stone" that can attach soul fragments, Xin Yu doesn't think that it is just the parents of ordinary people, or that Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua's very "ordinary" souls can achieve the "sojourn" state that only a powerful star magician can do.

Of course, Xin Yu's conjecture that can only be established theoretically, whether it can be realized, whether it is operable, and whether there will be any obstacles in it, he also knows nothing. After all, there is no experience to draw from, and he is not sure if it is feasible.

"Do you know of something that can hold and nourish the souls of ordinary people?" Xin Yu asked Xiao Shi with a hint of hope.

If Little Stone had a head, he would really scratch his head. Xin Yu's question is really difficult to answer. Speaking of which, although he lived for millions of years, he really didn't know anything that could hold a complete soul...... After all, this is not in Xianxia novels, there are countless heavenly treasures with that ability. In the laws of the universe, there may be such a thing that can contain a complete and fragile soul, but there has never been a case of such a thing that has lived for so long, even if it is a small stone...... That is, the little stone was lucky, and at the moment when his life withered, he encountered this flying locust stone inside the star similar to the one he is parasitic on now. Moreover, because many of his memories were confirmed, he was still unsure whether it was the locust stone that contained his soul, or if he had "squeezed" it into it in the first place.

Therefore, he could only reply very conservatively: "If you ask me to find a way to strengthen the soul of your parents, I may think of some unreliable methods, but if you want your parents' souls to exist for a long time, I really can't think of it." After all, their souls are so fragile, if they are separated from the attached body, as long as they encounter the slightest energy interference, they may be torn apart. In other words, if your parents' souls are separated from the body, it is very difficult to attach themselves to something completely. Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Xin Yu asked with the last hope.

"Unless your parents' souls are strong enough to resist accidents in the process of 'transfer', and you must also have the kind of treasure that can actively 'absorb' the soul, or there is a saint who is proficient in the soul law to protect your parents' souls with the law, so that their souls can break through the limitations of the body and 'transfer' to the treasure they want to store......" Xiao Shi's words became more and more "low", because he also knew that the conditions he listed were all the most difficult things in the world to do.

If the abnormal phenomenon of "the mountains are edgeless, the heaven and the earth are combined, the thunder and earthquake in winter, and the rain and snow in summer" mentioned by the romantic literati in Xin Yu's previous life are still easy to achieve, then the conditions mentioned by Xiaoshi are simply countless times harsher than those conditions.

First of all, Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua are both ordinary "mortals" who can no longer be ordinary, and it is already extremely lucky that their souls can enter the special condition of commanding their bodies. If you want to say how powerful their souls are, it is impossible at all, at most, their souls are very special compared to ordinary people. Therefore, if their souls are separated from the body, it is likely that they will be destroyed by the slightest breeze, and there is no possibility of recovery.

Secondly, the kind of treasure that can actively absorb souls is not something that ordinary meteorites can replace, and even this flying locust stone parasitic on small stones does not have such a function. In the case that Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua's souls could not take the initiative to enter the attachment, they did not have the ability to transfer the soul at all. And in this world, it is unknown whether there is such a treasure, not to mention that in the time before the souls of Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua "disappeared", Xin Yu wanted to find such a heaven-defying level treasure, and there was no possibility at all.

As for the sages who hope to be proficient in the laws of the soul, not to mention that the astrologists in this world who understand the laws of the soul themselves are very rare, and the astromagicians who generally master the laws of the soul are actually just the kind of beings who intelligently grasp part of the laws of life, at most acting on the human body or mental power. If you want to reach the level of sheltering the soul, as far as Xiao Shi's memory goes, there is no image of such a strong person at all, and he has not even heard of it.

And even if there is such a strong person in this world, what can Xin Yu use to impress the other party, so that such a sage is willing to spend energy, just for two souls who are too ordinary to be ordinary, do transfer or other things? Moreover, even if there are people in this world who are proficient in the law of souls and are willing to do soul transfer for Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua, it is too late for Xin Yu to find the other party in a short time, right?

Therefore, when he knew his own conditions, or the possibilities he proposed, became more and more slim, Xiao Shi was very interested and did not go any further. Although theoretically speaking, he could still find more ways to preserve and nourish the souls of Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua, but those conditions would only have a smaller chance of existence than the possibilities he had listed before, even if he said it, Xin Yu would not be able to do it.

"......" Xin Yu was speechless, these conditions are simply more difficult than ascending to the sky...... It seems that for cultivators or astromagicians, it is still relatively easy to ascend to the sky.

However, Xin Yu was unwilling to let his last hope be dashed like this, so he asked suspiciously: "Then do you know how my parents managed to use their souls to command the operation of their bodies? Doesn't this show that their souls are very strong?"

For this question, it is also something that Xiao Shi can't figure out, it stands to reason that Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua, who are just ordinary people, really can't have this kind of thing that only a sage can do, but they did it.

Xiao Shi is a good boy who has everything to say, and he didn't deceive Xin Yu and said, "If I say that they are born with strong souls, it seems impossible. However, if I say that their souls are cultivated, it seems impossible to ......."

From the point of view of the astrologists of this world, only when the cultivation reaches a certain level can it reach the level of the soul...... In fact, in any kind of cultivation, the soul is the most difficult to cultivate. A strong person like Xin Yu can be said to be able to reach the realm of a Great Star Magician as long as he ponders for a while longer. However, even if he reached the realm of a great star magician, he would not be able to touch his own soul. And Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua are just ordinary people who can't be ordinary anymore, compared to ordinary people, they are just "in a high position for a long time" and have developed the bearing of some high-ranking people, but in this case, let alone cultivating their souls, even their own bodies rely on the pills and some other things provided by Xin Yu to live to this age.

Therefore, in Xiao Shi's view, the state that Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua are doing now is simply a miracle within a miracle and an accident within an accident...... If Xiao Shi believed in the existence of God, he would even have to wonder if Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua had accumulated great fortune in their previous lives to have such an excellent soul in this life.

It's just that Xiao Shi thinks it's absolutely impossible, but Xin Yu doesn't think so. Perhaps, according to the general procedure of cultivation, if you don't cultivate to a certain stage, you really can't cultivate your soul, and even like Xin Yu now, he can't even sense where your soul is. However, in any world, there is no such thing as the absolutely impossible.

That is, Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua may have mastered the method of directly cultivating the soul under certain conditions?

Although Xin Yu didn't know what his parents did to trigger the growth of soul power, he believed that there must be a reason for everything, and since they could now use their souls to command their bodies, there must be a possibility of maintaining this state.
