Chapter 21: Soul Refining Beads (Part II)
The Soul Refining Bead can also be regarded as a well-known treasure in the cultivation world.
It originated in ancient times, and was first said to have been invented by a sect of immortal cultivators called the Soul Sect, and the Five Divine Sects of later generations are said to have been handed down by the descendants of the Soul Sect.
The Soul Sect is the best at soul raising, soul refining, soul deterrence, and soul transfer techniques, and its spells are weird, but this sect itself is not an evil sect.
Their main purpose in cultivating the soul is to pursue eternal life.
Although cultivators can live forever, they rarely live forever. Even if a person who has cultivated to the level of Sendai's great power, at best, he will live for thousands of years, far from being immortal.
Although there are methods such as reincarnation and seizure in the cultivation realm, they all have their own restrictions, and at least they can only be used by powerful people above the Purple Mansion.
But whether it is rebirth or rebirth, it is all the destruction of the body and the survival of the soul.
Without a physical body, it is difficult for the soul to exist for a long time in heaven and earth, and eventually it will either dissipate or turn into a ghost, so after the body dies, it must find the host as soon as possible.
However, the parasite is hard to find, not only does it need a body that fits with it, but more importantly, the soul will rebel spontaneously. Losing the original strength, even if the person who gives up is peerless, he may not be able to win the original owner. As for reincarnation, there is a risk that you will not be able to recover your memories.
Therefore, no one wants to use this kind of secret method unless it is absolutely necessary.
In order to seek eternal life, the Soul Sect studied the way of cultivating the soul and transferring the soul, in order to reduce the danger and demand of secret methods such as reincarnation and rebirth, and the Soul Hell was created on this basis.
The original purpose of its creation was actually to store souls, so it was originally called soul beads.
Through the Soul Bead, the Soul Sect can temporarily store the soul of the deceased first, and slowly find a suitable carrier, thus solving the problem of waiting. In addition, the soul beads can nourish and strengthen the soul, creating better conditions for the seizure of the soul.
However, the creation of the soul bead ultimately failed, although the soul sect created the soul bead, but found that this thing is very evil, the soul will suffer great pain in it, and under the long-term torture, it will form a ghost-like existence, and the mind will be completely wiped out, and the madness is incomparable. It is precisely because of this that later generations call it the hell of soul refining.
Soon after, the Soul Sect sealed the item and did not allow anyone to use it again.
Originally, the matter ended here, and as a failed work, no one took this thing to heart.
Unexpectedly, the Soul Sect later produced a traitorous disciple, and this person was the famous True Monarch of the Soul Conqueror.
Of course, at that time, the Soul Snatcher True Monarch was really a little disciple of the Soul Sect, but he was out of the ordinary realm. But it was such an extraordinary disciple who actually entered the Heavenly Machine Pavilion at night and stole a large number of treasures from the Soul Sect, including this Soul Bead.
Afterwards, the Soul Sect sent a large number of good hands to chase and kill, but all of them escaped from this rebellion, and even killed several good hands, including a Tianxin Elder, and it was at this time that the Soul Bead shined and became a big killing weapon in the hands of the True Monarch, and the True Monarch also came from this.
No one would have thought that the True Monarch would improve the Soul Bead and create such a fierce thing as the Soul Snatcher.
The so-called god-snatching evil is that after the soul is tormented in the bead, it will eventually become a completely sane and extremely fierce evil. Once unleashed, this evil instinctively attacks any nearby life, taking it away.
Many of the preparations that were originally needed to snatch away are not needed here in the Snatcher, and all dangers are not scrupulous, because all that the Snatcher needs is to escape from the hell of the soul, even if it is destroyed.
Because of this, the success rate of such ferocity is very, very low, and it is almost impossible to succeed, and their seizure is more like a moth to a fire at any cost.
But in the process of seizing the relinquishment, the middle can still resist as long as it resists, but in this way, it is difficult to fight wholeheartedly.
At this time, the Soul Snatcher True Monarch will surprise again, which can often achieve miraculous results.
And if the seizure is successful, the person who is taken away will also become a demon, a powerful and fierce terrifying existence, and because of the innate fear of the soul bead, so it only obeys the orders of the person holding the soul bead.
Since then, the Soul Bead has become a Soul Refining Bead and a famous treasure at that time.
However, although the True Monarch of the Soul Snatcher was ferocious, he gradually lost his strength in the face of the pursuit of the Soul Sect, and finally died in a battle at sea, and after his death, he entered the sea, most of the treasures were lost, and the whereabouts of this soul refining bead were never known.
After the Soul Sect experienced this battle, it was also greatly injured, and it was destroyed by the enemy shortly thereafter, and the method of making soul beads was lost.
Unexpectedly, today, after tens of millions of years, it fell into the hands of Tang Zheng.
Looking at the soul refining bead in his hand, Tang Zheng was also embarrassed.
This bead carries too much blood and killing, and the bloody storm set off by it has long become a legend in history.
Getting it, even Tang Zheng didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
But in any case, this moment bead is destined to bring great help to himself, at least for now. According to the record in the bead, the use of the soul refining bead is extremely simple, and you only need to know how to control the flow of the aura to use it freely.
So Tang Zai took the bead to operate the spiritual power according to the law, and saw the lynx soul in the soul refining bead flipping and wailing in it, screaming miserably, Tang Zai soon felt that a warm current was gushing out of the bead.
Tang Zheng tried to guide this warm current into the demon soul, and the next moment, the bobcat demon soul no longer wailed, but gradually calmed down, only occasionally smacking a few times, as if to remind Tang Zheng that the pain still existed.
After a while, the cat demon soul finally did not move at all, as if it had solidified, and at this time there was still a small half of the warm current, but it could no longer be injected.
Tang Zheng stopped controlling the warm current, his hand shook slightly, and the cat demon soul was elongated like a gel flowing out of the bead, and landed in Tang Zao's palm, but it was no longer fierce, and it looked more like a miniature jelly-like bobcat toy.
Tang Zheng knew that this should be one of the functions of the soul refining bead: condensation.
The Soul Refining Bead, which has been improved by the True Monarch of the Soul Snatcher, has two fundamental abilities: soul refining and condensation.
Among them, soul refining is to refine the soul, that is, to refine the demon soul detained in the bead for demon fire sacrifice.
Since the Soul Refining Bead has been transformed by the True Monarch of the Soul Snatcher, the Soul Hell here is even more terrifying than ever, and it only takes enough aura to generate endless demonic fire and melt the soul.
After seven or forty-nine days of melting, these souls either can't survive and turn into soul liquid, or they survive to become ferocious.
The former is a rare and rare material, and the latter is a famous and god-catching material!
Condensation, on the other hand, is to absorb materials into the soul and create something strange, and the specific effect depends on the absorbed materials and the refined soul.
Before, this soul refining bead absorbed a whole square of soft fragrant jade, which was in line with the needs of condensation, and the warm current that Tang Zheng felt just now came from the absorbed soft fragrant jade, so Tang Zheng only used a little, and this cat demon soul was condensed.
It's just that how to use this condensed demon next, I didn't remember it in the beads, and Tang Zheng didn't know how to do it. No matter how he fiddled, this bobcat jelly didn't even move, Tang Zheng tossed for a long time, but he didn't find out its function.
On the contrary, after the beads lost their souls, they returned to the original state of terrifying souls, Tang Zao's heart was shaken, but fortunately this time he was prepared, and took out a jade box to put the beads away.
As soon as he collected the soul refining beads, Yiyi's voice sounded in his heart: "Brother, the demon fox is here!"
Since the little guy went to the side of the mountain stream to put the gate flag, he has been hiding nearby, responsible for monitoring the area of Xiangji Cave.
Tang Zheng was fighting lively on their side, and the Xiangji Cave was about to rush over when the wind got it.
Hearing this, Tang Zheng said, "How much?"
"It seems that the three demon generals have come, but they don't see the fox. ”
Zhilu said. Tang Zheng turned around and walked towards the place he came from.
At this time, the battle between Qin Zhou and the others and those demon beasts was also coming to an end.
Although there are a lot of demon beasts, and they are all brave, Qin Zhou is also a person who is out of the ordinary realm in the end, coupled with the ferocity of the little tiger, after a hard battle, he finally wiped out all the little demons.
It's just that after the first battle, everyone consumed a lot, and Chen Yao couldn't stand still, sitting on the ground.
Zhang Chengyun had already shouted: "Hurry up and get out of here, if you let that lynx demon come back, I'm afraid we won't want to leave." ”
Ling Jing was taken aback: "What about Tang Xuan?"
Zhang Chengyun replied: "He confronted that cat demon, and now he is afraid that he is dead, so he doesn't care what he does." ”
"No!" Luo Yin objected loudly: "He helped us lure away the cat demon, we can't just sit idly by, we should go to him!"
"You're crazy, the war has started, Xiangjidong will get the news at any time, if you don't leave now, I'm afraid there will be a change!" Zhang Chengyun was also anxious.
"So you just left Tang Xuan alone?" Ling Jing asked, "Senior brother, don't forget that he saved us. ”
Qin Zhou immediately froze, he also knew that if the Tang Dao didn't lure away the cat demon, everyone was afraid that they would already be dead, but it was too dangerous to turn back and rescue, and they didn't know what to do.
Just as he hesitated, the sound of wind in the distant jungle was already heard.
Everyone changed color at the same time, knowing that most of them were the cat demon, this time they missed to escape, with the speed of the bobcat, everyone must not be able to get rid of it, everyone was desperate in their hearts, only the little tiger rushed towards the sound excitedly.
I saw that Tang Zheng's figure had appeared from a distance, and he was steadily coming towards this side.
He had just experienced a battle, and his body was somewhat stained with blood, but he did not show panic, and he still looked calm and calm, as if he had just slaughtered a chicken and killed a sheep.
The five's eyes widened in surprise, unable to believe what they were seeing.
"It's him...... Is he still alive?" Qin Zhou muttered.
"What about the lynx demon, where is the cat demon?" asked Chen Yao.
"Really stupid, do you still need to ask?" Luo Yin pouted: "You look at his appearance, he is not chased and killed by the cat demon, so the lynx demon is naturally dead." ”
"How is this possible? That's a monster in the Enlightenment Period, even Senior Brother Qin may not be able to defeat it!"
But whether they believe it or not, the facts are in front of them.
Seeing Tang Zheng Shi Ran coming over, Qin Zhou said bitterly: "After all, we still underestimate others, it turns out that we are the ones who can't help ourselves!"
He asked himself that if he wanted to fight the lynx demon one-on-one, there was no chance of winning, even if he finally won, most of them would be seriously injured, compared to Tang Zheng's relaxed appearance, Qin Zhou didn't understand how much mistake he had made, there was a problem.
At this moment, Tang Zheng came over and threw it casually, but he threw the handful of white cocoons to Qin Zhou.
"What does this mean?" Qin Zhou paused.
"One life, two pills. Tang Zheng replied.
Qin Zhou was stunned, he finally understood what Tang Zheng meant.
Obviously, Tang Zheng is going to reap the rewards.
No wonder Tang Zheng said that he said that the protection fee of the emotion was not collected from him by the Cangshan faction, but by the Cangshan faction.
Knowing what Tang Zheng meant, Qin Zhou couldn't help but sigh that this matter was caused by everyone, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, Bai Fu counts three, Brother Tang saved the lives of five of my people...... Count ten. ”
Saying that, he had already taken out a bottle of pills from his arms and threw them to Tang Zheng: "There are five Aiqi Barrier Breaking Pills in this bottle, and there are eight more that I will not give to you until I return to the pie." ”
Tang Zheng said: "Five are enough for me, Luo Yin and Ling Jing's four are canceled, and the remaining four are left, you can exchange them for other equivalents." ”
As soon as he said this, Qin Zhou knew that Lu Dao was only afraid that it was the previous conversation between them, including Zhang Chengyun's abandonment, his own hesitation, and Luo Yin's insistence, most of the other party knew Lu Dao, so he would cancel Luo Yin and Ling Jing's part.
Knowing this, Qin Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
He thought to himself that he was a chivalrous man in his life, proud and righteous, but today's things were hesitant and repeated, neither righteous nor proud, it was better for a little girl to be decisive, at this moment he only felt extremely ashamed, and did not say much, and threw out a few bottles of pills and handed them to Tang Zai and said: "Thank you Tang Gongzi for your righteousness, we were blind and unbiased before, and I hope we were not offended." ”
"Just a student, where can I say that I am offended. Tang Zheng said lightly.
"Are you really just a student?" Qin Zhou was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes. Tang Zheng nodded, and the Cangshan disciples looked at each other and were speechless.
Tang Zheng has already said: "The monster of Xiangji Cave has already come, you still don't leave, are you waiting to pay the protection fee again?"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Zhou and the others were also frightened, and they didn't dare to delay any longer, so they turned around and ran away.
After walking a few steps, Luo Yin turned around, only to see Tang Zheng still standing there.
She shouted loudly: "Tang Xuan, aren't you leaving?"
"I'll go the other way. Tang Zheng replied: "It's easier to escape this way." ”
Everyone did not doubt it, and they had already left quickly.
