Chapter 467: Beast Soul and Cultivation

In the cultivation secret room of the black fortress.

Wang Yu sat on a golden yellow meditation cushion, holding a yellow jade slip in both hands, silently comprehending something. Beside him stood a bronze incense burner, with a black incense stick inserted inside, emitting a strange fragrance with a slight fishy smell, making one feel refreshed and clear-headed after smelling it.

Wang Yu opened his eyes, flipped his palm, and the yellow jade slip disappeared. Then he chanted, pinched spells with both hands, and pointed his ten fingers at the void in front of him repeatedly.

"Poof." "Poof."

Threads of light silver magic spells shot out from his fingertips one after another, turning into translucent gray magic patterns.

These runes rolled and condensed in the void, sometimes turning into a light gray chain, sometimes condensing into a rune ball, looking very wonderful.

However, this strange scene only lasted for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, and Wang Yu's face turned pale, and his two hand spells dissipated.

All the runes turned into dots of gray light and flashed and vanished, as if they had never appeared.

"Soul-Descending Technique," "Guardian Soul Pattern."

Wang Yu closed his eyes to rest for a long time before opening his eyes again and muttering twice.

The secret technique he had just performed was the divine soul secret technique 'Soul-Descending Technique' bestowed by the Heavenly Toad Old Ancestor, which can refine demon beast souls into guardian soul patterns, thereby having multiple miraculous effects such as amplifying divine sense, strengthening mental power, and guarding the divine soul.

The translucent gray runes that had just been displayed were the means of this secret technique to bind and refine beast souls. As long as the demon beast has no physical body, this method can be used to pull the beast soul into one's own divine sense sea, thereby refining it into a guardian soul pattern.

This secret technique is divided into six levels. Each time a soul pattern is refined, one can advance to the next level. The stronger the beast soul refined, the stronger the effect of the soul pattern. Only after refining all six guardian soul patterns is it considered perfection.

Although Wang Yu had obtained this secret technique for some time, he had never practiced it. The reason was naturally that he couldn't find a suitable demon beast soul for a while when he was at the Four Symbols Gate.

After all, he is already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so the beast soul materials he uses naturally need to be second-rank; otherwise, even if he refines a first-rank beast soul into a soul pattern, it won't have much effect.

But relative to demon beast flesh and demon cores, beast souls are rare, and second-rank ones are even rarer.

Even if the Four Symbols Gate raised many spirit beast groups, there were not many second-rank ones. Even if there were, they were cultivated into spirit beasts in the sect, and it was impossible to let sect disciples kill them as consumables easily.

Even if second-rank beast souls occasionally appeared in the Four Symbols Gate, the contribution points needed were astronomical, almost no less than the price of a second-rank mid-grade magic tool, and they were basically reserved by the Golden Core True Persons in the sect, so they basically never reached the hands of Foundation Establishment disciples like them.

In the Wu Kingdom, wild second-rank demon beasts cannot be said to be non-existent, but they are rarely seen. It is believed that the other two countries are about the same; otherwise, the Tong-surname demonic cultivator who was beheaded by him wouldn't have gone to study some second-rank synthetic corpse demon.

But he is now in this Eastern Wasteland where demon beasts are everywhere, so the situation is naturally very different.

It cannot be said that second-rank beast souls are easily available, but according to the information he obtained, they are sold in the Cold Lanjiang market, but the price is not low, and they start at several thousand spirit stones.

So he re-familiarized himself with this secret technique and prepared to go to the Cold Lan Market to buy one or two second-rank beast souls first, practice this Soul-Descending Technique for one or two levels, and see how powerful the guardian soul pattern is before talking.

According to the introduction in the jade slip, the process of refining beast souls with the Soul-Descending Technique is extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, one might be backlashed by the beast soul during refining and become a living dead person.

The more powerful the beast soul refined, the greater this backlash, and because the more soul patterns refined, the greater the burden on divine sense, the subsequent refining danger will also double.

In a word, the stronger the beast soul chosen for this secret technique, the greater the backlash. The more soul patterns refined by this secret technique, the more dangerous it is to refine later.

After Wang Yu tried to practice this time, he discovered another problem not mentioned in the jade slip.

That is, the consumption of divine sense when performing the refining means of this secret technique is far beyond imagination.

He only activated the secret technique for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, and seven or eight out of ten of his divine sense power were consumed.

You must know that because he fused Wang Tiezhu's mental power, his divine sense was originally much stronger than ordinary people's, and later he practiced three layers of star mental power. Under the amplification and blessing of star mental power, his divine sense was almost ten times stronger than that of cultivators of the same rank.

Even he could only support it for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn. If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, wouldn't they only be able to support it for one-tenth of the time?

In such a short time, can one really refine a powerful demon beast soul?

No wonder the jade slip mentioned the danger of this secret technique many times.

Wang Yu felt a chill in his heart and at the same time made up his mind that if he felt strenuous when refining the beast soul, he would wait until he had practiced the fourth to sixth layers of star mental power, allowing his divine sense power to double again, before continuing to practice this secret technique.

But when he thought of the large number of Star Stones needed for the fourth to sixth layers of star mental power, his brows couldn't help but frown again.

It seems that besides beast souls, when he goes to the Cold Lan Market later, he also has to see if he can buy Star Stones. After all, the ones he bought from the Four Symbols Gate before were all consumed when he practiced the first three layers of star mental power.

He didn't know that this time, he would be teleported to the Eastern Wasteland. If he had known this, he would have definitely packed up all the remaining Star Stones in the sect before setting off.

Wang Yu thought of this and felt a little regret.

Star Stones don't seem to be rare things in the Wu Kingdom, but he doesn't know if there are many in the Eastern Wasteland.

Besides this beast soul, he also has another secret technique to practice, which is the nameless auxiliary secret technique deduced for him by the system.

This nameless secret technique is tailor-made for him to break through the bottleneck of the 'Red Sun Great Art'.

The nameless secret technique itself cannot increase magic power, and the cultivation incantation and magic power meridian operation route, etc., are not too special.

The only thing is that the method of external object cooperation borrowed when performing it combines the power of external objects from both the cultivation world and the Blue Star world, which is quite different from ordinary secret techniques.

He even risked exposing the mysterious talisman and brought related gene injections from the Blue Star world.

However, it is not yet time for this nameless secret technique to play a role. He must wait until he has practiced the third layer of the Red Sun Great Art to the bottleneck before he can borrow the power of the secret technique to break through in one fell swoop and enter the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment.

He has only just entered the third layer of the Red Sun Great Art now. To reach the bottleneck, he fears it will take at least another three or four years of cultivation.

This is still under the premise of ensuring sufficient cultivation resources.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu patted his storage bag with one hand, flew out a small white bottle, and poured out a crimson medicinal pill.

It is exactly the Fire Refining Pill that must be used for the early cultivation of the Red Sun Great Art. This medicinal pill allows cultivators to better control the operation of fire spirit power, thereby accelerating cultivation speed.

Although the Fire Refining Pill is a second-rank medicinal pill, it is not an exclusive pill in the Wu Kingdom, and even the Four Symbols Gate has related pill formulas, which were also secretly obtained by Wang Yu.

The several types of fire-attribute spirit herbs needed to refine this medicinal pill are not rare things, but he only exchanged this pill from the sect to use for cultivation at that time in order not to attract others' attention.

As for other auxiliary medicinal pills, they can only play the role of icing on the cake, but they are not necessary for practicing the Red Sun Great Art, and other medicinal pills can be found to replace them.

Wang Yu pondered this.

Practicing the Red Sun Great Art, besides medicinal pills, an environment with pure fire spirit Qi is also crucial.

This island is only a medium-sized first-rank spirit vein and is located in the Cold Lanjiang. Not only is there no fire crystal mine nearby, but it is also filled with mostly water spirit Qi, so naturally, he cannot build any pure fire rooms.

But this problem is not unsolvable, which is to buy a large amount of fire crystal ore to artificially create a fire crystal mine.

This method costs quite a few spirit stones, and the fire crystal mine that can be created is also micro, but fortunately, there is a spirit-gathering array, which can lock all fire spirit Qi in one cultivation room, only for his own inhalation, which should be barely enough for his cultivation.

Besides this, fire-attribute demon beast meat and spirit rice cannot be missing, which are also of great benefit to his daily cultivation of the Red Sun Great Art.

Finally, there are the specialized magic tools that assist in the cultivation of the Red Sun Great Art.

Wang Yu thought of this, shook his wrist, and the medicine bottle in his hand disappeared in a flash.

Replacing it, a white lotus platform the size of a palm appeared. ===== CHAPTER 468 =====
