Chapter 227: Concealing the Soul
Half a day later, Du Fan quietly returned to his wooden house and checked the storage bags of Han Jianniang and the green-robed man.
Du Fan's gaze swept over those spirit stones, demon pills, and sundries one by one, and after a long time, his eyes turned, and finally fell on a piece of bamboo slip in Han Jianniang's storage bag, and his expression showed surprise.
This is an exercise called "Concealing the Soul", he spent an hour of work to understand it a little, but in the end it was affirmed that the other party was able to see through his concealment technique, which should have a lot to do with this exercise.
It turns out that the essence of this "Concealing the Soul" exercise is that it can cover up one's true cultivation, and after cultivation, one can change one's cultivation changes at will.
However, this kind of change can only be changed downward, if you have the cultivation of the fifth layer of the Qi refining period, if you have the cultivation of the fifth layer of the Qi refining period, this exercise can be carried out, you can turn your cultivation into the first, second, third, and fourth layers of the Qi refining period, but you can't become the sixth or seventh layer of the Qi refining period.
Of course, this kind of change in cultivation is only for external display, that is, it gives people the illusion that their own cultivation is originally how much or how much, and it will not really change.
According to the content of the bamboo slip of this "Concealing the Soul", once this method is practiced and unfolded, monks below the Jindan stage will not find the clues.
However, one of the effects attached to this exercise is that cultivators will be extremely sensitive to mana fluctuations, and Du Fan guessed that this is the reason why Han Jianniang found out at that time.
"It's a bit interesting, you can spend some time cultivating it, in a cruel and complicated place like Crescent Island, this exercise may be of great use to me. Du Fan smiled slightly and muttered to himself.
Now that he had made a decision in his heart, he didn't waste any more time, and as soon as he put away the other things scattered on the ground, he sat cross-legged on the wooden bed and began to cultivate according to the content of the bamboo slips of the "Concealing the Soul Technique".
A day later, under the operation of the mana in Du Fan's body, he successively entered the dantian, slowly retracted his strength, opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had completed his cultivation.
"It turns out that the content of the exercises recorded on this bamboo slip is not complete, but it doesn't have much to do with it, there is no sense of incompleteness, and the cultivation is extremely smooth, and I think the rest of the part and the part I am cultivating should be similar to the relationship between the upper and lower parts. ”
"It's a pity that just cultivating into this fragment of this book can't achieve the effect mentioned on the bamboo slip, for me now, this exercise can be carried out, at most it can conceal the existence below the later stage of foundation building. ”
Du Fan's brows furrowed, and it wasn't until a long time later that he slowly unfolded, took a deep breath, and muttered: "For now, this is enough, when you come into contact with someone who is wrong, you can completely catch the other party off guard!"
He slapped the wooden bed with one hand, and his body suddenly rose into the air, falling steadily to the ground, and then his wrist was raised, and he pinched out a strange trick.
After a while, his thoughts scattered, swept into his body frantically, and began to look inward.
"Hey, it's really the first layer of the Qi refining period, and I can't find any clues in it with my own powerful divine thoughts, haha, interesting, interesting......"
Du Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face showed surprise, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
Then, with a single pinch of his technique, his cultivation was "restored" to the original appearance of the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period.
"Now that the cultivation of the Concealing Soul Technique has been completed, and the refining materials for the Hua Dan Water have not yet been put in place, the next most important thing is to improve the cultivation!
Whether it's Hua Dan water, all kinds of experiments, or even cultivating many exercises, no matter what I do, the ultimate goal is to improve my own cultivation, but don't sacrifice your roots!"
Du Fan took a deep breath, a gleam of essence shot out of his eyes, no longer hesitated, sat down again, immediately took the ginseng qi essential oil, and began refining.
......
More than ten days later, it was the day to go to sea to hunt demon beasts, Du Fan came to the Xue Hall Master with Zhao Chong and Yuan Li early in the morning, and successfully took over the task, and then the three of them went to the port on the south side of Crescent Island together.
"Brother Zhao, I'll lend you these special fishing nets for the time being, I still have a few cat's eye grasses here, you can also take them together, but when using cat's eye grass, you must be careful, otherwise it will be easy to attract some kind of powerful demon beast." Du Fan handed Zhao Chong a storage bag, smiled and admonished.
"Thank you, Brother Du, you have to be careful, we are leaving. Zhao Chong looked grateful, nodded, and opened his mouth with a fist.
"Brother Du, see you in a month!" Yuan Li also clenched his fists and said with a smile.
"Okay, two brothers, I wish you all a full return, and I will leave first. Du Fan smiled slightly, and after giving up his hand, he immediately turned around and left the place.
......
Four days later, Du Fan came to the shop of Song Atom in Fang City again, and sat in his usual room.
"Du Daoyou came at the right time, the old man just got those few spiritual herbs and their seeds yesterday, if Daoyou has no problem, you can trade now. Song Atom said slowly with a smile on his face.
"Very good, Matsubara Daoyou will take out the things first, and it won't be too late for me to take a look at them before setting the price. Du Fan forced the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath, and spoke calmly.
"These things have already been prepared by the old man, Du Daoyou check them. Song Atom's eyes flashed, his face suddenly showed a hint of joy, his withered wrist shook, and he immediately took out a storage bag, and directly got up and handed it to Du Fan.
After the storage bag was in hand, Du Fan nodded slightly, and opened one of them, and then a wisp of divine thought probed into it, carefully examining the contents of it.
After about half a cup of tea, the joy on Du Fan's face was difficult to hide, and he didn't care about making some plans to lower prices, so he immediately spoke:
"I'm very satisfied with these spiritual herbs and seeds, the shopkeeper of Songyuan will directly offer a price, if the price is reasonable, there will be no hesitation here, and you can trade it immediately." ”
"Okay, Du Daoyou is really a cheerful person, but you can rest assured, the price offered by the old man is naturally very reasonable, and Du Daoyou will not suffer a cent, this amount. Hearing Du Fan's words, Song Atom suddenly perked up, slapped his thigh, and made a gesture.
"It's more than I expected, but considering that Matsubara Michitomo has used a lot of connections in this matter, the price is not too outrageous, okay, I don't have a problem here. Du Fan raised his eyebrows, immediately took out a storage bag, and threw it to the old man opposite.
Songatom's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his big sleeves, he instantly rolled it into his hand, and after a little inspection, he immediately laughed heartily and said: "Haha, making a deal with Du Daoyou is a pleasure!"
"Fellow Songyuan Daoist, have you ever heard of the secret of concealing the spirit?" Du Fan flicked his wrist, then put away the storage bag full of spiritual herbs and seeds, and asked seemingly casually.
"Concealing the spirit, could it be that Han Jianniang was killed by Du Daoyou?" Song Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his expression moved slightly, he glanced at Du Fan deeply, and said with some hesitation.
"I've never heard of this person in Xia, what's the matter? Isn't Songyuan Daoyou having something to do with this person?" Du Fan's heart froze, and he suddenly became vigilant, staring at the old man with slightly squinted eyes, and his palm had been quietly placed on the storage bag on his waist.
Seeing this, the corners of Song Atom's mouth twitched, and he didn't understand what Du Fan meant, so he immediately laughed, and waved his hand again and again and said:
"Du Daoyou doesn't have to be so nervous, Daoyou has misunderstood this matter, Han Jianniang has nothing to do with the old man, what does his life or death have to do with me?
Besides, the old man is a businessman, and he is engaged in trading, even if he really has some relationship with him, he will never do anything harmful to his own interests for the sake of a dead man.
It's just that the book of soul concealment techniques on this person's body is very coincidental, and it was purchased from the old man. ”
"Oh? I see. Du Fan's expression slowed slightly, nodded thoughtfully, and the palm that had been placed on the storage bag was also quietly put down.
"Speaking of this secret trick, the old man also knows a little bit about it.
This exercise is just a fragment, although that kind of secret book is very rare, but it has no practical effect, neither can enhance combat effectiveness, nor can it increase one's own self-cultivation, and it is difficult to cultivate, it is really a chicken rib.
Back then, the old man didn't have half the confidence to sell this exercise, and he didn't think that Han Jianniang was so interested in it that he purchased it, so the old man was impressed by this person. ”
Song Atom smiled slightly, pondered for a while, and then told the things of the year as it was, wanting to use this to eliminate the concerns in Du Fan's heart.
He didn't want to offend a potential customer with considerable financial strength because of such an inexplicable thing.
Du Fan also guessed a few points about the thoughts in Song Atom's heart, bowed slightly, and no longer bothered about Han Jianniang's question, and after a while, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he said directly:
"I don't know if there is a little possibility that Songyuan Daoyou can get another part of this exercise? Don't hide it from the shopkeeper of Songyuan, the one behind him is still quite interested in this Soul Concealment Technique. ”
"No problem, I will help Du Daoyou pay more attention to this matter, if possible, the old man will directly get it into his hands, but this exercise is too out-of-the-way, Du Daoyou still don't have too much hope." Matsuko's eyes flashed, and after a little thought, he said.
"Then this matter will be bothered by Lao Songyuan Daoyou, as for the final result, then do your best and obey the destiny of heaven, there will be no complaints. Du Fan smiled slightly and arched his hand.
