After simple refining, it could barely be considered his own control. The disadvantage is that it is definitely not as strong as the original version, and it no longer has the original owner’s aura, so it doesn't count as \"our own people\" at all; it has become Little Black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two talisman spirits were stunned for a moment, and then they were all angry at being deceived, and rushed toward the Little Black talisman spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou held the Soul Banner and shook it lightly again. The two talisman spirits were affected by the soul-calling and became slow and stunned like the previous one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Black punched one in the face, Dugu Qingli slashed the other with a sword, and the colors of the two talisman spirits began to dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that with Lu Xingzhou’s assistance and control, this group is quite easy to fight. His Ten Thousand Soul Banner is a complete nemesis for this kind of ghost, and it is completely restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Xingzhou didn't make a move again, letting Little Black and Dugu Qingli fight with the talisman spirits, his eyes staring at the Spirit Water Condensing Crystal, as if thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the strength of the original owner of this place, are the guards here too weak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppose you are a super-grade cultivator and get yourself a temporary cave. The guards at the door only use one talisman spirit, which is justifiable. It is basically a role of welcoming guests and warning, and there is no need to be too strong. But the escape passage in the back is more of a treasure, and the guard is only one more talisman spirit? Is it justifiable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were you, it would definitely be a superposition of strange arrays, plus terrifying prohibitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there is no trace of any array by this pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lu Xingzhou suddenly broke into a cold sweat: \"The talisman spirit cannot die. The death of the talisman spirit leading to the shattering of the talisman paper is probably the premise of triggering the self-destruction prohibition of this place! The previous soul-calling and turning the enemy into a friend is the only solution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli retreated quickly, Lu Xingzhou quickly operated the Soul Banner, the black wind swept, and soon collected the two talisman spirits into the banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shook out Liu Qingcang’s dull soul body from the banner and operated it to float into the pool to take the Spirit Water Condensing Crystal: \"The switch of the door should not be triggered by pulling and inserting the crystal, but by the mechanism driven during the pulling and inserting process. Jin Mingxiu’s strength is strong, the soul body is solid, and he should have enough strength to trigger it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, after a while, a rumbling sound came from the bottom of the pool, as if he could feel the door on the other side of the passage \"click\" and loosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go.\" Lu Xingzhou took back Jin Mingxiu’s soul. There are still things to ask about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned the wheelchair, Dugu Qingli naturally stood behind and pushed, with a white-haired Bai Jingtian’s soul body floating beside him, holding the Spirit Water Condensing Crystal and following.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them didn't seem to notice that the soul body’s eyes were getting redder and more ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the entrance of the passage, just as he entered the darkness, the Bai Jingtian soul body held the condensing crystal and poked at Dugu Qingli’s side neck like a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qingli leaned back as if prepared, the Spirit Water Condensing Crystal brushed past her face, and the Frost Heaven Sword had already worn out from under her ribs, directly cutting off the soul body’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou shook the Soul Banner, the Bai Jingtian soul body slipped back, and the Spirit Water Condensing Crystal fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An extremely cold will spread from the condensing crystal, and the soul sound echoed directly in the minds of the two: \"Two juniors, you have such vigilance and insight... After breaking all traps and prohibitions, you can still endure not touching the treasure. You two are not simple...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems that the final insurance is a reserved will...\" Lu Xingzhou sighed: \"Fortunately, it is not a remnant soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were a remnant soul, he and Little White Hair would definitely not be able to beat such a great power’s remnant soul. Everyone hadn't cultivated to the stage of divine soul, and they were far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a will brand, so it can’t take possession, it can only affect the mind, so it’s relatively easy to handle. Although it’s not necessarily possible to deal with it, there is a play, otherwise the other party wouldn't need to sneak attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as you don't touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou quickly sacrificed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. The next moment, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and thousands of black mists surged out, rushing toward the Spirit Water Condensing Crystal on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou’s own cultivation is only Seventh-Grade, but the power of the Soul Banner has little to do with his own cultivation, mainly depending on how many soul spirits he has absorbed. After accumulating thousands, he crossed into a middle-three-grade magic treasure, which is a special attack against soul-type things, and can deal with Fourth-Grade soul bodies, so solving the talisman spirit before was just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A will brand is essentially a manifestation of soul power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this mere will brand, its strength exceeds the Fourth-Grade talisman spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand resentful souls rushed and tore, the Soul Banner kept shaking, and Lu Xingzhou was horrified to find that the white banner had faint signs of cracking. And through his own control, it began to shake his soul sea faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that there was a very strong pressure, pressing his head to the point of splitting, his soul sea wanted to shatter, and he didn't know when his seven orifices were bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is still the most professional magic treasure hard-carrying, and the aftermath can shake him to the point of bleeding from seven orifices... If it were someone else, even Shen Tang, it would be very easy to be shaken into a fool. Dugu Qingli’s cultivation is slightly inferior to Shen Tang, and she can’t let her carry it, otherwise, it would be bad if something happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the other party is just like this. It is very clear that the will is also swaying and becoming weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is to fight who can hold on to the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to hope for the treatment of his legs, Lu Xingzhou was enough to give up everything. He carried the pressure impact wave after wave, and gradually even his thinking began to be chaotic. The vague images in front of him were blurred, \"hiss,\" and the Soul Banner finally had a crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The natal magic treasure had a crack, which meant that the soul sea had been seriously injured. [59-3\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An extremely cold will spread from the crystal, and a soul-voice echoed directly in their minds: \"Two juniors, to have such vigilance and insight... to be able to resist touching the treasure even after breaking all the traps and restrictions, you two are not simple...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the final insurance was a reserved will...\" Lu Xingzhou let out a breath: \"Luckily, it's not a remnant soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were a remnant soul, he and little Bai Mao would definitely not be able to beat such a powerful remnant soul; they hadn't even reached the soul-cultivation stage, they were far off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was only a will imprint, it couldn't perform possession, only influence the mind or the like, which was relatively easier to handle. Although there was no guarantee of success, there was a chance; otherwise, the opponent wouldn't have needed to launch a sneak attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they didn't touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou quickly summoned the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. The next moment, ghost wails erupted, and thousands of black mists surged out, rushing toward the spirit water crystal on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou's own cultivation was only at the Seventh Rank, but the power of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner didn't depend much on his own cultivation; it mainly depended on how many souls it had absorbed. Once it accumulated over a thousand, it crossed into a mid-tier magic treasure, and since it had a special attack against soul-types, it could handle a Fourth Rank soul-body, which was why it had been just right for dealing with the talisman spirit earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A will imprint was essentially a manifestation of soul power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was merely a wisp of will, and its strength exceeded that of a Fourth Rank talisman spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of vengeful souls charged and tore at it. The Ten Thousand Soul Banner shook incessantly, and Lu Xingzhou was horrified to find that the white banner showed faint signs of cracking. Furthermore, through his control, it began to vaguely shake his own soul sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There seemed to be an extremely strong pressure, causing a splitting headache and making his soul sea feel like it was about to shatter; before he knew it, blood was flowing from his seven orifices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was with a perfectly specialized magic treasure taking the brunt of it, yet the shockwaves were still enough to make him bleed from his seven orifices... If it had been anyone else, even Shen Tang, they would likely have been shocked into a vegetative state. Dugu Qingli’s cultivation was slightly inferior to Shen Tang’s, so she couldn't be the one to bear it, or else something would have gone wrong the moment she made contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, that was all the opponent had. He could clearly feel that the will was also wavering, growing increasingly weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a test of who could hold on until the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the hope of healing his legs, Lu Xingzhou was willing to risk everything. Wave after wave, he stubbornly withstood the pressure, until gradually his thoughts began to blur and his vision became a hazy mess. With a \"hiss,\" the soul banner finally developed a tear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tear in his natal magic treasure meant his soul sea had suffered heavy damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he had held on for a long time, but in the eyes of the bystander Dugu Qingli, it was just Lu Xingzhou’s thousand souls howling, clashing with the spirit water crystal on the ground for two rounds—the first round he bled from his seven orifices, and the second round the soul banner cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only a matter of a blink of an eye...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reacted immediately, pushing Lu Xingzhou’s wheelchair away to break their entanglement, and stabbed her sword into the spirit water crystal herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was Dugu Qingli facing the will’s impact. Lu Xingzhou was freed, and feeling a shock in his heart, he hurriedly shouted: \"Don't...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, he saw Dugu Qingli’s blue eyes flare. Her entire soul sea transformed into a vast glacier, empty of all else. The soul power shockwave hit like a hurricane blowing across a glacier, to no effect. The glacier stood unmoved, while the hurricane quickly vanished into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was much easier than when Lu Xingzhou had handled it himself... though that was because Lu Xingzhou had already weakened the opponent significantly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, a direct disciple of a Holy Land, the number one precious apprentice in the world—one truly cannot judge by appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Frost Heaven Frozen Moon reflects the cold river, you are...\" The soul-voice held a hint of shock, then turned ferocious again: \"Fine, fine, fine! Even if my will perishes, you must all die here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the will spread for the last time, the vine that had once whipped the soul-body guarding Huo Yu into oblivion \"whooshed\" over, lashing directly at the motionless Dugu Qingli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of twisted pain appeared on Dugu Qingli’s face; it was clear she was being bound by the opponent’s final strength, her soul sea pulled taut, unable to move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou slapped his wheelchair, flew into the air, and tackled Dugu Qingli to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vine grazed past above them, then adjusted with extreme speed and slammed down heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou was sprawled over Dugu Qingli. His legs had no strength to push off, so he couldn't lunge forward like a normal person; he could only shield Dugu Qingli tightly beneath him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"bang,\" the vine whipped his left calf, shattering the bone completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The will had exhausted its strength in that final tug-of-war with Dugu Qingli. The vine stopped moving, and a final, regretful, and unwilling voice echoed in the air: \"You wretched couple... sooner or later... I will take your wretched lives...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coldness and pressure gradually dissipated, and the voice vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ps: Please vote~\u003C\u002Fp>",2201,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a6b083291e5b1ce449be30eb6cc410b20071b75feca324a259a3433ffd858bc8","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-51","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-49",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
