Chapter 229: Transforming the Nascent Soul
Su Qingchun's soul bead is a mixture of black and white. It has a peaceful aura, and there is no trace of evil. Instead, there is a sense of righteousness.
If it is taken out, no one will recognize that it is a soul bead of a ghost.
Li Xiuchang was unsure about Su Qingchun's soul bead, so he decided to experiment with Wangcai's soul bead first.
Li Xiuchang trusted the three ghost generals under him, and he was restricted by the soul control seal.
But the one he trusted the most was actually Wangcai, who followed him the earliest.
Dogs are outstanding for their loyalty.
Li Xiuchang put all the other ghosts into the rainbow soul flag, leaving Wangcai alone.
Then, he turned his back to Wangcai and quietly added three inches to the soul bead.
The whole soul bead was enlarged.
Wangcai didn't know what happened, but he knew that the soul bead connected to his life suddenly became larger, and then his soul body suddenly expanded!
Originally, its soul body was about the size of a calf, but now it has expanded directly to the size of an adult cow.
It felt like it was full.
Li Xiuchang observed carefully and found that Wangcai's cultivation had not improved and was still at the early stage of the fourth level.
But the soul body became larger, and the total amount of soul power in the soul bead also increased!
This is equivalent to the cultivator increasing the total amount of mana, but not improving the cultivation.
This is not useless. The increase in soul body and soul power can significantly improve Wangcai's combat power level.
However, if you want to improve your cultivation, you have to think of other ways.
For example, wait for the extra-large Youhan tree he planted to bloom and bear fruit.
The current Youhan fruit spirit liquid has gradually become less effective as Wangcai and his cultivation improves, and a higher level of Youhan fruit is needed.
However, Li Xiuchang estimated that even if the fourth-level Youhan fruit is planted, it may not be as useful as before.
After the Yinhun cultivation reaches the fourth level, like the cultivator, it is no longer possible to achieve a breakthrough in the small realm by simply accumulating the total amount of mana.
Instead, it is necessary to seek a breakthrough in the quality of mana and the strength of spiritual consciousness.
Before he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, Li Xiuchang could rely on adding points to his mana and golden elixir to complete the breakthrough of the small realm.
As long as the total amount of mana reaches the standard, he can break through to the next small realm, and the quality of mana will also be improved synchronously with the improvement of his cultivation.
But after he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, this method did not work.
Simply adding points to the Nascent Soul can no longer directly improve his cultivation. It only increases the total amount of mana, but does not improve the quality of mana.
He still has to rely on his down-to-earth cultivation to improve the quality of mana and drive the improvement of the quality of the Nascent Soul, so that he can move towards a higher realm.
Fortunately, after the Nascent Soul stage, the demand for spiritual orifices is not great, and he can communicate with the heaven and earth to absorb spiritual energy on his own.
Li Xiuchang's Nascent Soul is of high quality and absorbs a lot of spiritual energy. Even the best spiritual orifices are far inferior to him.
Even if he relies on self-cultivation, his cultivation speed will be faster in the future.
Li Xiuchang returned the soul bead to Wangcai.
After Wangcai swallowed the soul bead, he was a little confused for a while, and was still adapting to the suddenly enlarged soul body.
But soon, it began to shrink its soul body by instinct.
The ghost can be said to be a complete energy body, and the soul body is also composed of soul power. Wangcai stuffed the extra soul body into his soul bead.
Then... Li Xiuchang found that Wangcai's cultivation had improved a little!
"Shrinking the soul body into the soul bead plays the role of compressing the magic power and promoting the improvement of the quality of the magic power?"
Li Xiuchang thought for a while.
So, his method of directly adding points to the soul bead can also promote the improvement of the ghost's cultivation, but it just takes one more process.
He added points to the soul bead to drive the ghost's soul body to grow, and then put the extra soul body into the soul bead, so that the soul power in the soul bead is compressed, the quality is improved, and the ghost's cultivation increases.
It's just not worth it.
Adding three inches of length only gets a slight improvement in the ghost's cultivation, which is not worth it.
And using this method repeatedly will cause the ghost's soul bead to continue to grow, and finally make a giant soul bead.
Li Xiuchang suddenly had an idea and asked Wangcai: "Can I consume the energy of the soul bead and enlarge my soul body?"
Wangcai's eyes showed a wise light, and he spit out his soul bead and bit it.
It seems that he wants to peel off a layer of skin from his soul bead.
This stupid dog... Li Xiuchang hurriedly stopped it and taught it to draw the energy in the soul bead to enlarge the soul body.
Generally speaking, ghosts will not do this. After all, the soul bead is the foundation. Even if the soul body is broken, as long as the soul bead is still there, it can survive.
If too much soul power is extracted from the soul bead, causing the soul bead to disintegrate, then it's over.
But Wangcai's soul bead was added by Li Xiuchang, and the volume was a circle larger than the normal soul bead. The soul power is strong, and there is no danger in extracting part of it.
A large amount of soul power was extracted from the soul bead and converted into a soul body by Wangcai, causing its soul body, which had just shrunk, to expand again.
The soul body and the soul bead are both energy bodies, and this is just a conversion of energy forms.
After a while, Wangcai's soul body became larger than before, and the soul bead was only slightly smaller.
Wangcai shrunk his soul body into the soul bead again, and it really had the effect of compressing the soul power in the soul bead!
Li Xiuchang's eyes lit up, and he found a good way to quickly improve the cultivation of the ghost!
This is actually the left hand to the right hand.
Extract the soul power from the soul bead and transform it into the soul body. When the soul bead becomes smaller, transform the soul body into soul power and inject it into the soul bead.
The volume of the soul bead will not increase, so injecting more soul power will compress the soul power.
Although there will be a lot of soul power loss during this process, and it is impossible to achieve 100% conversion and utilization, but compared with the speed of Yin Hun's cultivation, these losses are completely acceptable!
Li Xiuchang told Wangcai to repeat the process just now, and continuously extract energy from the soul beads and then inject it back into it.
In fact, this method is suitable for Li Xiuchang to add a few inches to the length of the soul bead at a time. The larger the soul bead, the higher the profit from adding points.
But Li Xiuchang planned to let Wangcai persist for a while to see the effect.
If it is feasible, he will make arrangements for Su Qingchun and the Shadow Wolf King.
Li Xiuchang also got some inspiration from it. He was wondering whether his Nascent Soul could also be improved by referring to this method?
How many inches should be added to the Nascent Soul to make it bigger, and then find a way to compress it?
However, there is still a difference between Nascent Soul and Soul Pearl, and humans and ghosts cannot be equated. He can only give it a try, but Li Xiuchang doesn't have high hopes.
…
Li Xiuchang sent the Yinhun employees back to their respective posts, and then went to the headquarters of the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce to deal with various accumulated matters.
While he was away, Senior Brother Wang Long had been taking care of things for him, but there were still some decisions that needed to be made by him.
In the past half year, the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce has developed vigorously, attracting many members, and its business scale has increased several times, involving many fields such as spiritual dishes, immortal brews, elixirs, magical weapons, and spiritual plants.
The Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce is most famous not only for its smoked spiritual meat, but also for the special price spiritual plants it offers from time to time.
Li Xiuchang's medicinal fields are extremely productive. The soil has been improved, irrigated by spring dew, and there are ghost employees to take care of the spiritual plants, so the cost for him to cultivate spiritual plants is much lower than others.
Therefore, some spiritual plants produced in medicinal fields are often promoted at special prices to boost their popularity.
Li Xiuchang finished his business at the headquarters of the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce, had a chat with Wang Long, and learned about the current development of the Chamber of Commerce, and did not return to Donggeng District until the next day.
Not long after he returned, he sensed violent fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth coming from the training room.
"This breath...Tiandao Nascent Soul!"
Senior Brother Chu Ya finally succeeded in conceiving a baby and condensed the Nascent Soul of Heaven!
"Hahaha!"
Chu Ya laughed happily and walked out of the training room.
"Congratulations, senior brother, on the successful birth of the baby!" Li Xiuchang held his fists in his hands and congratulated.
Chu Ya responded with a gift: "Thank you, junior brother, for your enlightenment, otherwise I may not be able to see clearly. Although I have given birth to a baby now, I feel that I still have residual strength in my body, and my cultivation level is still on the rise. I urgently need to take advantage of this situation to retreat to a higher realm, so I won't disturb you." Junior brother."
"I wish you, senior brother, great success in your cultivation!"
Li Xiuchang sent Senior Brother Chu Ya out of the house, and when he came back, he happened to meet Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi also walking out.
Li Xiu saw Zhang Wanzhi frowning and asked curiously: "Where is Senior Brother Zhang going?"
Zhang Wanzhi sighed: "Go to class."
He was away for more than half a year, and the two masters assigned to him by the sect were very concerned about him.
Now as soon as he comes back, I rush to call him to go to class.
The two elders became more and more addicted to giving lessons to Zhang Wanzhi. Many of Zhang Wanzhi's ideas were very inspiring to them.
After Elder Liu gave Zhang Wanzhi many lessons, her cultivation that had been stagnant for many years even showed signs of breakthrough. However, as Zhang Wanzhi went out to travel, her cultivation that was about to break through was stuck again.
She was going to make up for all the lessons Zhang Wanzhi owed after being away for more than half a year!
Li Xiuchang suppressed a smile in his heart, but expressed sympathy for Senior Brother Zhang.
Back at his residence, Li Xiuchang began to tinker with his Nascent Soul.
He tried to practice normally.
The Nascent Soul in the Dantian maintains a posture with five hearts facing the sky, communicating with heaven and earth, and absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
This spiritual energy enters the Dantian, is then controlled by Li Xiuchang, circulates according to the technique, and is finally injected into the Nascent Soul.
And the quality of Nascent Soul has also been improved a little bit, which is basically imperceptible.
At this point, he is already ahead of all other Yuanying monks in their cultivation speed.
If you practice step by step, it may take more than ten or twenty years to reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
This speed is already very fast.
It's just that Li Xiuchang is used to speeding up a bit, and he is really not used to this slow practice.
After all, he is determined to achieve divine transformation before he is thirty!
Li Xiuchang decided to try adding some points to Nascent Soul.
"Try an inch first."
According to the logic of adding points in the Diamond Method, he first added an inch to the thickness of the Nascent Soul.
The originally well-proportioned Nascent Soul villain suddenly lost shape.
Just like adding points to the Soul Orb, Li Xiuchang felt that his total amount of mana had increased, but his cultivation level had not changed.
He tried to control the Nascent Soul villain and separated part of the mana into the second Dantian, and then saw that the Nascent Soul had indeed shrunk a bit.
Then the mana was injected back into the Nascent Soul, and the Nascent Soul grew bigger again.
It does not play a role in compressing mana.
"It seems that if you want to improve the quality of your magic power, you still have to rely on practice."
Experiments have proven that the Nascent Soul and the Soul Pearl are still different. The Soul Pearl will not become larger after being injected with soul power, so it can compress the soul power, but the Nascent Soul cannot.
However, Li Xiuchang noticed that after all this back and forth, the Nascent Soul, which had just been out of shape, returned to its normal body proportions.
It's just that the whole thing is bigger than before adding points.
Li Xiuchang observed the Nascent Soul Body, which was almost identical to his own from top to bottom. In terms of appearance, there was almost no difference between the two except for body shape and color.
But when you cut open the inside, there are no internal organs in Yuanying's body, it's just a pure energy body.
Li Xiuchang suddenly thought, if there are meridians in the body of the Nascent Soul, can it also be cultivated?
Once this idea appeared, it took root in Li Xiuchang's mind and could not be wiped out.
Or... try to create meridians for the Nascent Soul?
Li Xiuchang did not intend to use external force to forcibly carve out meridians in the body of the Nascent Soul. That was too reckless and risky.
He wanted to control the soul and adjust the structure of the mana in the body of the Nascent Soul, so as to build meridians inside the Nascent Soul.
This is an extremely delicate and time-consuming job.
Li Xiuchang soon encountered difficulties. The Nascent Soul was too small. If you want to open up meridians in its body, the adjustment of the mana structure needs to be extremely precise!
Li Xiuchang directly added points to the Nascent Soul. The larger the size of the Nascent Soul, the simpler this step is.
He only added one inch of points to the Nascent Soul each time, adding all to the thickness of the body, and then restored the Nascent Soul to its normal size by transferring mana. This is the most cost-effective way to add points.
Soon, the size of the Nascent Soul grew a little bit, and it became much easier for Li Xiuchang to open up the meridians in the Nascent Soul.
The so-called simplicity is only relative. In order to save time, Li Xiuchang only opened up the meridians he needed to practice the "Charcoal Burning Skill".
After spending a lot of time and consuming a lot of energy, he finally did it!
