The first volume debuts Chapter 13 The secret method of refining souls!
"Not bad, kid. The first thing you need for cultivation is a strong belief. If you don't even dare to face powerful enemies in the future, then your realm in this life is destined to be limited." The Five Elements Venerable was satisfied with Li Xuanfeng's performance.
"The Purple Extinction Stick was obtained by me by chance that year, but even I could only unlock it to the eighth layer. I was unable to unlock the seal of the last layer, and failed to defeat the powerful enemy in the last battle. My body and soul were completely destroyed. This wisp of soul was separated before the war and was secretly sealed in the Purple Extinction Stick, so it survived by chance. I didn't expect that the shocking battle did not damage the Purple Extinction Stick at all. It seems that the Purple Extinction Stick is more powerful than I thought."
"Since the Fiery Gold Art is recorded on the metal key of the Purple Destroying Stick, could it be that the Fiery Gold Art and the Purple Destroying Stick are of the same origin and are also very powerful techniques?" Li Xuanfeng guessed with surprise and asked the Five Elements Venerable.
"You have a nice idea. You want a powerful martial art even though your magic weapon is very powerful. The Fiery Gold Technique was created by me and engraved on the key of this Purple Destruction Stick." The Five Elements Venerable glanced at him and said helplessly.
"Okay." Li Xuanfeng said helplessly, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
“You kid, do you think that the martial arts I created are very bad?” The Five Elements Venerable immediately blew his beard and glared, saying angrily.
"Of course not, please don't misunderstand me." Li Xuanfeng quickly waved his hand to explain, which made the Five Elements Venerable's expression look better.
“I will now help you remove the first seal of the Purple Destroying Stick so that you can use it simply. But to truly unleash the power of the Purple Destroying Stick, you have to improve your own cultivation. You must keep the matter of the Purple Destroying Stick space and me secret from everyone. The world of cultivation is extremely cruel, and an innocent man will be guilty of possessing a treasure.” The Five Elements Venerable warned Li Xuanfeng sternly.
Although Li Xuanfeng had only recently entered the world of cultivation, he was still able to easily understand this principle and quickly kept it in mind.
After the Five Elements Venerable finished speaking, spiritual power surged in his hands, and vast colorful spiritual power emanated from his body. He rushed into the first floor of the nine-story tower in the center of the Purple Destruction Stick space. The patterns on the tower began to flash regularly.
After a few breaths, as the ninth flash ended, the first layer of the tower shone brightly, and even the pattern on the entire surface of the tower underwent subtle changes.
“This is the first seal of the Purple Destroying Stick. I have already removed it for you. With your current level of cultivation, you can’t even use spiritual power to activate the Purple Destroying Stick to remove the first seal, let alone the second seal. Removing more seals will only attract others’ attention to the extraordinary nature of the Purple Destroying Stick and bring disaster.” Five Elements Venerable explained to Li Xuanfeng after removing the first seal.
When the seal was lifted, the Purple Destroyer Stick could already start absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world. The original spiritual energy in the Purple Destroyer Stick space had long been consumed by the Five Elements Venerable, and now needed to be replenished from the outside world. In order not to attract other people's attention, the Five Elements Venerable controlled the absorption speed to a relatively slow level. When the replenishment was complete and the absorption stopped, there was no need to worry about being discovered.
"After removing the first seal, the Purple Extinguisher Stick is equivalent to a spiritual foundation realm magic weapon. You need to reach the spiritual foundation realm to truly unleash the power of the first-level Purple Extinguisher Stick. Because the Purple Extinguisher Stick is a magic weapon of an extremely high realm, its hardness can be said to be indestructible. You can use it as a baton for the time being. As long as the strength is sufficient, ordinary magic weapons can be directly interrupted. I will teach you another set of baton techniques so that you can use the Purple Extinguisher Stick as you wish, which can make your close combat ability a qualitative leap."
After the Five Elements Venerable explained, he waved his sleeves, and Li Xuanfeng felt himself constantly retreating. His consciousness was constantly retreating under the impact, but soon returned to his body again.
At this time, information about the stick technique appeared in Li Xuanfeng's mind. This stick technique was called Thunderbolt Stick.
The Thunderbolt Stick is a high-speed close-range stick attack technique, and is also equipped with a set of body techniques called the Wandering Cloud Step. The combination of the two makes the attack as fast as lightning, making it difficult for the opponent to defend. The extremely fast attack speed can also increase the power of the stick technique. Hitting the opponent's vital points can directly cause serious injuries or even kill them!
As he learned the Thunderbolt Stick, Li Xuanfeng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt more and more that the Thunderbolt Stick was extraordinary. If he mastered this set of stick techniques, people with the same level of cultivation would basically be beaten.
Li Xuanfeng began to practice the Thunderbolt Stick and Wandering Cloud Steps wholeheartedly. He became more and more proficient in controlling spiritual power and his cultivation level continued to improve.
Because he was absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world every moment , his body was no longer as easily hungry as before. Li Xuanfeng only went to the canteen once every two or three days, quickly replenished his energy, and then returned to his room to continue practicing.
After seven days, the spiritual power in Li Xuanfeng's body reached a state of perfection. He felt that he could no longer absorb it and it seemed that he would soon be able to break through to the middle stage of the Lingrong Realm.
"Boy, don't rush to break through. I will teach you a secret method that can allow you to compress and condense your spiritual power, and mobilize spiritual power to nourish your body. Laying a solid foundation now will be of great benefit to breaking through to a higher level in the future."
A lot of information emerged in Li Xuanfeng's mind: the secret method of refining the spirit, compressing the spiritual energy in the body, forging the body, and improving the concentration of spiritual power...
The more he read about the secret method of refining spirits, the brighter the light in Li Xuanfeng's eyes became, filled with surprise.
According to the description of the information in my mind , after using the secret method of soul refining to compress spiritual power, the more times the soul is refined, the more condensed the spiritual power will be, far exceeding that of people with the same level of cultivation!
Although the cultivation level of people who practice the secret method of refining spirits has not changed, their spiritual power has far exceeded that of people with the same cultivation level. Spiritual power is the basis for exerting combat power. The stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the combat power!
After comprehending the information about the secret method of refining the soul, Li Xuanfeng began to use the secret method to compress and condense his spiritual power. He also controlled the spiritual power to continuously flow throughout his body, nourishing it and increasing the strength of his physical body.
Three days later, the originally abundant spiritual power was compressed to only half, and the other half was absorbed again. Although Li Xuanfeng's cultivation was still in the initial stage of spiritual fusion at this time, his spiritual power had increased a lot. At the same time, his physical body also felt obviously strengthened a lot, and his speed and strength had increased significantly.
Ten days later, in a dense bamboo forest one mile behind Huayue Garden, a young man in a blue robe stood with his eyes closed in the middle of an open space in the bamboo forest. The breeze blew past, and his long hair fluttered. The young man held a purple short stick in his right hand. It was Li Xuanfeng.
Suddenly, the young man raised his right foot high, and the golden-red spiritual power quickly condensed on his right foot. He stomped his foot hard on the ground. An invisible circle of faint ripples spread out with the young man as the center, and the withered yellow leaves on the ground rolled around. At the same time, the young man's eyes opened instantly.
The weak shock wave generated by stepping on the ground hit several bamboos around the open space, breaking off dozens of bamboo leaves that slowly floated down in the air with the breeze.
At this moment, Li Xuanfeng, who was standing still moved. His figure moved with the wind, and he quickly shuttled through the falling bamboo leaves. The bamboo leaves that were originally falling lightly immediately became messy in the air.
A moment later, when all the bamboo leaves fell to the ground, 80% of them were broken to varying degrees, leaving only 20% intact!
"I still cannot hit all the bamboo leaves. My speed is not fast enough. I can only hit 80% at best." Li Xuanfeng said with a little pride, pretending to be slightly disappointed.
"Come on, are you still proud? Although you have increased your attack speed from 30% to 80% within six days, and compressed your spiritual power twice more, reaching the initial stage of spiritual fusion after compressing it three times. Your talent is indeed not bad, but you have no reason to be proud. This level of strength is no different from that of an ant in the cultivation world!"
Seeing that Li Xuanfeng was a little complacent, the Five Elements Venerable attacked him mercilessly.
In fact, Li Xuanfeng's training speed and combat skills training can already be ranked among the top three practitioners that Five Elements Venerable has ever seen. It's just that Five Elements Venerable didn't like to see Li Xuanfeng's proud look, so he attacked him directly.
After compressing his spiritual power three times in the early stage of Rong Ling Realm, Li Xuanfeng could no longer compress it. This was the limit of the early stage of Rong Ling. Li Xuanfeng's spiritual power at this time had exceeded that of an average disciple in the middle stage of Rong Ling.
What the Five Elements Venerable did not tell Li Xuanfeng was that according to the records of ancient practitioners, the Soul Refining Secret Method could be compressed at least three times in the Soul Fusion Realm, and at most eighteen times. However, Li Xuanfeng had already compressed it three times in the early stage of Soul Fusion, so there should be no problem in compressing it nine times in the Soul Fusion Realm.
There is a loss when using the soul refining secret method to compress spiritual power, and it cannot be perfectly compressed to one-fold. If it can be perfectly compressed to half every time, it is equivalent to a geometric improvement, and this secret method is really too abnormal.
“Boy, doesn’t your sect have a fighting arena? You can go find someone to test your strength.” The Five Elements Venerable said to Li Xuanfeng.
Li Xuanfeng had been practicing for nearly two months. To be honest, he wanted to find someone to test the results of his practice, so he followed the words of the Five Elements Venerable and walked towards the Martial Arts Academy.
The Five Elements Venerable wanted Li Xuanfeng to realize his own strength and gain some practical experience. It is useless to practice blindly. If he does not know how to control the power accurately, no matter how strong his cultivation is, it will be useless!
