Chapter 262: Changes in Strength
“It turns out that the method of refining souls with blood of the underworld, after the demon’s strength reaches the quasi-grandmaster level, the number of souls absorbed has reached its limit. No matter how many souls it devours, it cannot be refined and absorbed, and it cannot exert its power at all.
No wonder the old demon Hatetian is so powerful and has so many resources at hand. The demon raised in his Nether Blood Soul Refining Banner is only at the quasi-grandmaster level and cannot break through to the grandmaster level.
It seems that if Dark Sky wants to break through to the Grandmaster level, it is useless to just devour ghosts, but we need to find a way to make it refine the extra ghosts. "
Through the soul seal, Qin Ziling carefully felt the changes in An Tian and soon understood that the method of refining the soul with dark blood also had limitations. If he wanted to further improve An Tian's strength, he had to find another way.
"A high-level silver corpse draws the evil energy of Xinjin into its body, tempering itself and the Yin evil corpse energy in its body in a way that is almost self-mutilation, thus achieving a breakthrough.
The Qigong master breaks through from the true essence to the Dharma essence realm and draws the corresponding evil energy from the earth veins into the body. In fact, the effect is similar. Otherwise, the true essence is not condensed and pure enough to contain and refine more spiritual power of heaven and earth, and drop runes on it to stir up heaven and earth.
This Dark Sky is a ghost body, how can it be refined to further improve it?"
In the hall, Qin Ziling fell into deep thought.
After sitting in the hall and thinking quietly for nearly half a day, Qin Ziling suddenly had a bold idea in his mind like a dazzling flash of lightning.
"One yin and one yang, one dark and one light, one life and one death, they complement and restrain each other, and evolve from each other. Isn't the profound meaning of the 'Immortal Stars' Soul Art that I practice exactly the opposite of An Tian? Moreover, An Tian is a Yin soul, and I am a Yang soul.
If my soul uses the 'Immortal Stars' method to refine the dark sky, wouldn't it be just like fire refining real gold? Only the pure soul can remain, and the rest of the impurities will be refined away."
As soon as this idea came up, the more Qin Ziling thought about it, the more he felt that it was a great idea.
Soon, a spirit that looked exactly like Qin Ziling slowly rose from the top of his forehead and sat cross-legged in the void above his head.
This divine soul radiates a golden light that is invisible to the human eye, and a Tai Chi diagram hangs behind its head.
The Tai Chi diagram represents one light and one dark, one yin and one yang, one life and one death, slowly rotating, interpreting infinite mysteries.
As the Tai Chi diagram slowly turned, the Yang instrument became larger and brighter, like a sun, while the Yin instrument gradually shrank into a small black dot.
The golden light shone everywhere, sprinkling on the eighty-foot-tall giant body of An Tian.
As soon as the golden light shone on An Tian, the black energy on An Tian's body was ignited like firewood. Black flames continued to rise from his body. Countless ghost faces appeared in the black flames, and they made shrill screams. Then they quickly turned into wisps of green smoke and rose into the sky, disappearing in the hall.
An Tian's body was shrinking continuously, and the black luster on his body was becoming purer and purer, until it even gave people the feeling of black silk and pearls, pure and soft.
After three days of continuous calcination, the eight-zhang-tall Dark Sky returned to its original height of three zhang.
The dark sky at this moment had an extremely pure luster, giving people an indescribable feeling of power, thickness, and peace, without even a hint of evil.
"It's just as I expected. Although a lot of An Tian's soul was burned, its strength has not weakened, but has become even stronger. It is already much stronger than ordinary quasi-grandmasters. If I meet people from the Netherworld Sect again in the future, I will kill some of them and take away a few powerful Netherblood Soul Refining Banners for An Tian to devour. Then I will refine it with the Immortal Starlight, and it is very likely that I will break through and reach the Grandmaster level."
Qin Ziling looked at An Tian, who seemed to have been reborn, and couldn't help but show great joy on his face.
As he was thinking about this, Qin Ziling's spirit returned to his body, and then he focused on the corpse-raising ring.
In the corpse-raising ring, the four heads that sucked the blood of the old demon Hatetian increased their alchemy body speed very quickly.
Ape Da and Ape Er have also sucked a lot of blood from the old demon Hate Tian and the old demon Xue Chi in the past few days. Their strength has skyrocketed and they are now fully capable of starting to refine their bodies. Moreover, once they start to refine their bodies, they will probably succeed soon because of their solid foundation.
The blood of a Qi Refining Grandmaster is naturally extremely powerful.
It's a pity that Xin Jin's evil spirit is insufficient, and Qin Ziling can only focus on protecting the four alchemical bodies for the time being. Yuan Da and Yuan Er can only stay behind, and as for Ying Bao, there is no need to say more.
Compared with Ape Da and Ape Er, Ying Bao's "innate physique qualification" is much worse. Even though its former owner has refined some golden spots for it, its strength is still far .
Even though Ape Da and Ape Er have not yet refined the golden spots, their strength is already approaching that of a quasi-grandmaster.
…
In the blink of an eye, it is the season of spring flowers blooming again.
Yunluo Lake, central island, and pavilion on the top of the mountain.
Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing sat opposite each other and drank, while Xia Yan sat quietly on the side, getting up from time to time to pour tea for them.
In the distance, warships were conducting drills on the shimmering lake.
The exit of Yunluo Lake is connected to the Cangming River.
The Cangming River flows southwestwards into the sea.
The Cangming River flows through many prefectures and counties of the Great Qi State. Jiugao County and Nanding Prefecture are separated by this river, and the Luodian State is located at the mouth of the Cangming River.
The terrain of Yunluo Lake is complex and not suitable for deploying military forces. Generally speaking, once Luodian Kingdom breaks through Heya County, or Wang Lang's army in Nandingzhou crosses the Cangming River to capture Jiugao County, they will not choose to attack Fangliao County from the Yunluo Lake route.
However, Qin Ziling still ordered Xiao Qing to build up a navy, hide the soldiers in Yunluo Lake, and conduct daily training to be prepared for any eventuality.
Anyway, Fangliao County's commercial trade is now booming and the money is flowing in. Qin Ziling has been "killing and robbing" people one after another, and those he killed were at least great martial artists or great Qi refining masters, and there are even two grandmasters, who have accumulated a large amount of wealth.
Qin Ziling is not a miser. On the contrary, as someone who comes from another world, he knows better that wealth can only be earned by using it.
Therefore, Qin Ziling took out the money and resources that he did not need temporarily and handed them over to Xiao Qing for processing.
Xiao Qing was a strong woman who was good at planning and managing business. This could be seen from the fact that after she lost her strength at the age of sixteen, she did not become decadent or depressed, but instead found another way and began to plan and manage her own business in advance, striving for the right to speak in the family.
So with so many wealth and resources in hand, and the guidance of Qin Ziling, a behind-the-scenes military strategist whose head is filled with knowledge beyond this world, Xiao Qing naturally let go and realized his ambitions.
The army, the navy, and even recently, Xiao Qing has ordered people to purchase some domesticated exotic birds, preparing to build an air force as Qin Ziling said.
"Jin Yichen sent a message a few days ago, saying that he has initially established a foothold in Jiugao County and has also discovered several lairs of evil cults and bandit gangs. I have ordered Senior Brother Zheng to take a group of people to secretly go to Jin Yichen's place." Xiao Qing said.
