Chapter 49: Soul Breakthrough
The soul jumped out of the body and flew rapidly in the cave, much faster than before.
"Yes, the speed is a bit faster. I wonder if the power to drive objects has also increased?" Qin Ziling thought to himself, and his soul stretched out his hand to grab a fist-sized stone and picked it up easily.
"Now I have truly reached the realm of driving away objects!" Qin Ziling looked at the stone in his "hand" with a look of delight on his face.
Although he was able to drive objects before, it was only because he had integrated the spirits of three people, especially the residual soul of Li Mo, so his realm jumped to the level of driving objects all at once. But in fact, he did not have the power that one should have at the level of driving objects, and could only be considered to be half-driving objects.
Until now, after four months of hard training and the enlightenment of his thoughts at this moment, Qin Ziling has finally become a true spiritual cultivator at the level of exorcism. Of course, he is still in the initial stage of exorcism.
"Next, I can finally drive the creature to kill the prey directly without possessing the body!" Qin Ziling's soul entered the body, slowly opened his eyes, and talked to himself.
Although possession is useful, it never feels good to possess an animal. Moreover, some birds and animals have strong blood and energy, and possessing will more or less damage the soul.
However, Qin Ziling could only drive flying needles and blades at that time. Birds and beasts were different from humans. They generally had thicker and tougher fur. It was difficult to cut their fur with flying needles and blades, let alone kill them. So he could only use the technique of possession.
But now it is different, he has become a real exorcist. As long as he makes suitable hunting weapons, hunting ordinary prey is no longer a problem. Moreover, during hunting, he can also practice the art of exorcising animals and killing enemies.
The latter is the key point!
After all, practicing the art of the soul and hunting to make money are just helpless actions at the moment. The key is to possess strong combat capabilities.
The next day, Qin Ziling, disguised as a one-eyed strong man, walked out of a blacksmith shop.
He commissioned the blacksmith shop to make a three-edged bayonet and a goose-feather knife.
The triangular bayonet is angular in shape, with blades on three sides and blood grooves on three sides. Due to its structural shape, it is very hard and is not easy to twist or break when killing prey, and it has strong penetrating power.
The disadvantage is that its function is single, and it is mainly used for stabbing actions, unlike swords which have more varied moves such as chopping and slashing.
But the prey's fur is thick, and with Qin Ziling's current spiritual power, if he cuts it with a knife or a sword, the force will be applied to a large area and the force will be dispersed. Even if the fur is cut, it will be difficult to really hurt the prey's muscles.
Therefore, with Qin Ziling's current power to drive animals, the best way to kill prey is to concentrate his strength to assassinate.
As for assassination, the penetrating power of a sword is naturally not as good as that of a three-edged bayonet.
The triangular bayonet has three blades and three blood grooves. Once it pierces the prey's vitals, it can take its life without having to penetrate too deep.
The blade of the goose-feather knife is straight, with an arc at the tip and a reverse edge. It is named because it resembles a goose feather. It was popular in the Ming Dynasty in another world. The blade is not long, usually 90 centimeters to a little over one meter, and weighs one to one and a half kilograms. The one Qin Ziling ordered is slightly smaller than the normal goose-feather knife. The blade is two feet long, so it is naturally lighter and easier to carry.
The three-edged bayonet has a single action. If one wants to practice the art of using spirits to drive objects to kill enemies through hunting, one cannot use only the three-edged bayonet as a weapon.
That's why Qin Ziling ordered a goose-feather knife. He would use the goose-feather knife to attack and kill small and agile animals, which was just the right training effect.
Coming out of the blacksmith shop, Qin Ziling touched his empty purse.
This time, apart from the 1,500 taels of silver that he was not going to touch, he was really penniless.
After returning to Liu Xiaoqiang's house and removing her makeup, Qin Ziling went to Hantie's hospital.
After not being here for more than ten days, there were a few more new faces and two fewer familiar faces in the hall of Dean Hantie.
Qin Ziling had already gotten used to these changes. He walked across the training ground without saying a word and went to the corner of the Fragrant Cloud tree, which was unique to this world and had already lost all its leaves. He bowed and greeted Zuo Le, who was sitting under the tree basking in the warm sun.
Zuo Le just waved his hand lazily and ignored Qin Ziling.
This disciple is good and has good comprehension, but unfortunately his aptitude is too poor and he is stubborn. It would have been fine if Zuo Le didn't see him, but as soon as he saw him, he felt inexplicably blocked in his heart and simply ignored him, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
Qin Ziling was already accustomed to Zuo Le's behavior. He bowed slightly and then turned to go to the martial arts training area for the inner courtyard disciples.
"Zi Ling, there have been a lot of new apprentices coming recently. You have been an inner court disciple for four months. It is time for you to help train the new apprentices. I will assign one to you today." Zheng Xinghan walked up and said to Qin Ziling.
"Okay. " Qin Ziling nodded.
When Zheng Xinghan saw Qin Ziling nod, he shouted to the martial arts training ground, "Bao Yingjun, come here."
When Zheng Xinghan shouted, several people in the martial arts training ground couldn't help but laugh.
Then, Qin Ziling saw a short man with buck teeth, rat eyes, and a very ugly appearance, about fifteen or sixteen years old, walking out from the crowd of people practicing martial arts.
Qin Ziling couldn't help but be stunned, and finally understood why someone in the martial arts training ground couldn't help but chuckle.
There is nothing wrong with being ugly, but it is really too much to be ugly and give yourself a flashy name like "Bao Yingjun".
"Zheng, Zheng, Senior Brother Zheng." Bao Yingjun trotted forward, bowed to Zheng Xinghan and called out stutteringly.
"He's still a stutterer. The new apprentice he is going to train is a top-notch one. No wonder Senior Brother Zheng brought up the matter of training people as soon as I arrived. It turns out that no one else is willing to accept him!" Qin Ziling understood what was happening when he saw this.
"Zi Ling, this is your new apprentice, Bao Yingjun." Zheng Xinghan said to Qin Zi Ling, his eyes evasive, and then said to Bao Yingjun: "Bao Yingjun, this is Brother Qin Zi Ling, he will be responsible for your guidance from now on, you can ask him if you have any questions."
"Hello, hello, hello, Senior Brother Qin." Bao Yingjun hurriedly bowed to Qin Ziling, a hint of disappointment flashed in his pair of small eyes.
Obviously, he had heard of Qin Ziling's name in the past few days. He knew that Qin Ziling came from an average family and that he had practiced for nearly three years before breaking through. His potential had been exhausted. Not only was there no possibility of a breakthrough , but he had also offended Nangong Yue, the most promising and popular person in the martial arts gym.
As the saying goes, a good teacher produces good students. Bao Yingjun knew with his toes that Qin Ziling was in such a situation. How much could he learn from him? He might even be led astray by him. Not only that, given the relationship between Qin Ziling and Nangong Yue, Bao Yingjun was also worried that he would be implicated.
But it was not Bao Yingjun's turn to make the decision on this matter. Besides, his own conditions were poor and other inner court disciples were unwilling to take him with them.
So even though he was disappointed, Bao Yingjun didn't dare to show it.
