Chapter 173: On the Dao
"Shh!" Lu Xuezhu touched his lips with his hand, signaling Ye Ling to whisper.
She then looked at everyone who was excitedly dividing the mandrills. No one paid attention to them. Only then did Lu Xuezhu send a message to Ye Ling's spiritual consciousness:
"Soul refining is not only used by demonic and evil cultivators, but also commonly used by ghost monks! Anyway, it has always been taboo for righteous monks. I also accidentally discovered it by looking through the old Taoist jade slips from the clan's treasury. I didn't dare to tell my father, so I stole it secretly. You have to keep it secret for me, and you must not say that I 'traded' it to you!"
Lu Xuezhu was holding two bottles of the best Ruyi Zhuanshen Pill, with a smile as bright as a flower, and an ancient and eccentric look, but there was no trace of dullness at all!
Ye Ling nodded and sighed softly: "People cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. I have learned the lesson today. Don't worry, Fourth Miss, you know this and I know it, and I promise not to let anyone else know."
Lu Xuezhu blinked his eyes proudly, and then sent a message to Ye Ling's spiritual consciousness: "Back when I was in Shuifu Cloud Cave, I saw that Ye Daoyou's Shuifu scroll could capture souls, so I came up with the idea of selling soul refining skills. I was also afraid that Daoyou Ye didn’t have the demand for it at that time and couldn’t sell it at a good price! Now I finally got my wish.”
Ye Ling could only smile bitterly at this. Fortunately, his Ruyi Zhuanshendanduo was able to trade two bottles, which did not hinder him. While he used his spiritual consciousness to probe into the jade slip of the Soul Refining Technique, he listened to Lu Xuezhu transmit his spiritual thoughts to him and introduced how to use the Soul Refining Technique to refine the soul and inject soul into the magic weapon.
Lu Xuezhu explained her genius idea in detail: "When I first stole the soul refining technique, I was just curious for a moment, thinking that the soul refining technique was to refining the souls of monks alive, or to torture the monks' souls, so that they could live but not die. No. Who knows that this is not necessarily the case, but soul refining is also a method of refining weapons, which can be used to refine beast souls and merge them with magic weapons to become weapon spirits! I thought of this technique when I saw Fellow Daoist Ye's Devil's Broken Blade. It records how to infuse the magic weapon with soul, so I can't go wrong with it."
Ye Ling nodded seriously: "That's it! Most people in the world don't understand the soul refining technique, and the righteous monks hate it even more when they hear its name, and regard it as a method of evil spirits. As everyone knows, the method is death. Yes, people are alive. Whether it is evil or righteous depends on how it is used. "
"This is exactly the truth! People are divided into good and evil. How can righteous monks not be treacherous and treacherous? Everyone in the world is seeking benefits, and the world of immortality is even more cruel! In order to compete for the resources of immortality, It is not uncommon for people to cheat and kill each other to seize treasures. Even the nine great immortal sects of the Wu Kingdom are accustomed to such bad situations. "
Lu Xuezhu expressed great agreement with Ye Ling and felt sympathy for each other. At the same time, he sighed helplessly: "Hey, natural selection! The weak can only be lambs to be slaughtered. The truly selfless, righteous and even sacrificial for others." The monks can only be a joke.
Ye Ling was silent for a long time. Lu Xuezhu's maturity surprised him. It was hard for him to imagine that such a young daughter of a great cultivating immortal family would usually be spoiled and pampered. Who would have thought that she would have such a profound understanding of the way of heaven? , as if weathered by wind and rain and vicissitudes of life.
"Well! No matter how pure your heart is, a monk will gradually be taught to be more cautious in everything in the cruel world of immortality. Human calculations are often more terrifying than heaven's calculations! Just like the unsmiling fourth lady will be so cunning, not He deliberately plotted my two bottles of Ruyi Zhuanshen Dan, haha."
Ye Ling smiled calmly and tasted Lu Xuezhu carefully.
Lu Xuezhu couldn't help but smile: "I'm ashamed of myself, little girl, but having said that, Fellow Daoist Ye is not bad either! Without my soul refining technique, your Shura Broken Blade would have stopped at the third level and been buried since then! Hehe , this means everyone gets what he needs, and no one owes anything to anyone!”
At this time, the Lu family's servants who were cleaning up the corpse of the mandrill sighed one after another, seeming to be very disappointed with the monster corpse.
Lu Xinmei said with regret: "Who would have thought that such a ferocious wooden mandrill has no beast soul in its body! It only has the beast soul used to refine the demon pill, and the harvest is greatly reduced."
Miss Lu Si turned around and said with a smile: "I only want the wood thorns on the back of the mandrill. You can divide the other materials! Of course, how to divide them depends on Fellow Daoist Ye, who has contributed the most."
Lu Xinmei glanced at Lu Xuezhu meaningfully, and secretly marveled in her heart: "It's rare for the fourth sister to be in a good mood. Ever since she was with Ye Ling, she has been smiling sweetly, almost like a different person. Ahem, what does Ye Ling have? How much magic power can actually affect the fourth sister who has always been Gujing Wu'er? "
Little did she know that if it hadn't been for Ye Ling's two bottles of the best Ruyi Zhuanshen Pill, it wouldn't have aroused Lu Xuezhu's excitement.
At the same time, just as Ye Ling expected, Lu Xuezhu had two bottles of top-quality elixirs in her arms, but she swallowed them all without saying a word to her sister.
Lu Xuezhu deliberately concealed it, and Ye Ling certainly wouldn't tell him. After all, his deal with Lu Xuezhu was shady.
Soul refining is closely related, and once the news is leaked, the consequences will be serious! Ye Ling was not afraid of any loss in reputation. The key was how many evil cultivators, demonic cultivators and even ghost cultivators around Maple Bridge Town would be thinking about this piece of jade slip and would be eyeing him. In this important period of training before the qi training competition, Ye Ling did not want to see more powerful enemies.
Ye Ling had no need for the materials on the wood goblin, so he was happy to do a favor and let Lu Xinmei share them with everyone. Xie Xiang and others had no complaints, and the group continued to train along the cliff on the left side of the Grand Canyon.
When dusk fell, the sky gradually darkened. Under the guidance of the captain, all the monks who were training in the Grand Canyon stopped and tried to gather in one place, set up formation flags and tents to prevent the invasion of monsters at night.
"We will set up camp too! Fourth sister, when it comes to using formation flags, it's up to you." Lu Xinmei became a real captain and ordered the fourth sister to set up formation flags.
Ye Ling took this opportunity to concentrate on watching Lu Xuezhu placing formation flags and formation plates, and then pointed fingers and made formulas to set up restrictions, secretly gaining a little more understanding.
Everything was ready. Ye Ling looked back and saw that the Grand Canyon was dotted with stars and many lights were lit. There were also many monk teams that released their treasured moonstones, which could also illuminate the night of the East Lingze Grand Canyon, making it quiet and peaceful.
But Ye Ling knew that this quietness would not last long. Once night fell, more and more powerful monsters would appear in the Grand Canyon. It might not be possible to resist them with only the third-level top-grade formation flag. Of course, they were under the cliff, which had the best terrain. The first to bear the brunt of the monsters' invasion were the strong teams of the Southern Saint Sect who camped in the front!
