Chapter 401: Refining, Soul-binding Gray Thread
The spiritual energy on the island is not abundant either, but this floating island is quite large, with mostly water spiritual energy and some other spiritual energy. Although ordinary foundation-building monks I don't want to stay in this kind of place. Relatively speaking, it's much better than other places in Jiuxing Lake.
According to what Zhao Yuanjun said, there is a pattern of heavy water activity in Jixing Lake. Usually, the location does not change much in a few years, and this floating island happens to be within the range of heavy water activity. Inside, everyone was overjoyed and opened their own small caves on the floating island.
Lu Xiaotian also carved out a small stone chamber on a mountain wall.
After establishing the base area, everyone has to go out and search every day. The recovery of mana from sitting here is much faster than before, and the efficiency of everyone's search for heavy water areas has been greatly improved. But maybe it was bad luck. I discovered the Star-Eyed Stonefish several times, but it was like a flash in the pan. When everyone rushed over, it had disappeared.
Lu Xiaotian is also a little depressed. Every time he goes out, he never encounters him. Even Zhao Yuanjun, who is teaming up with him, has a dark face. He doesn't know who is unlucky enough.
This extremely boring search continued for more than a year. At this time, Lu Xiaotian, who was sitting in the wheelchair in Lu Xiaotian’s stone room, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then took out a vial. Uncork the bottle. A palm-sized fire dragon flew out from inside. This fire dragon only had a fourth-level aura, and it was the weakest fire dragon he had collected in Diyan Mountain. After staying outside Yinfeng Valley for more than a year, and staying here at Jingxing Lake for more than a year, which adds up to nearly three years, Lu Xiaotian's time to practice "Soul Swallowing Technique" is not long, nor short. Short, plus after he split the third soul, he multitasked. The main soul was responsible for daily practice, refining elixirs, and understanding the meaning of the sword. The second soul was responsible for deducing formations, and the third soul was responsible for studying "Swallowing". Soul Dafa". In three years, the time spent on formations and "Soul Swallowing Technique" has actually been two to three times that of a normal monk.
After all, it is impossible for a normal monk to have so many souls like Lu Xiaotian. However, Lu Xiaotian was not too satisfied with his progress in formations. If he had not been determined enough, the extremely boring formation deduction would have made him want to give up. But thinking of the dangers in the world of cultivating immortals, having one more skill at his disposal might be life-saving at a critical moment, so Lu Xiaotian gritted his teeth and continued.
In comparison, the practice of "The Soul-Swallowing Technique" is a little smoother, but there is also a shortcoming in practicing the Soul-Swallowing Technique. In addition to basic proficiency in oral and mental skills, a large number of monster spirits are also required. Do experiments. At this time, the only seventh-level fire dragon essence in Lu Xiaotian's hand cannot be used at will. After all, there is only one. If an accident occurs during the refining process, he will not be able to find the second one. In addition to the seventh-level fire dragon essence, there are also fifth-level and sixth-level fire dragon essences. The sixth-level fire dragon essence is also very precious and cannot be wasted casually. Only the fourth-level and fifth-level ones can be used for experiments.
Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was also his fault that there were too few monsters in Jixing Lake, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry about this matter.
The angry screams of the fire dragon spirit pulled Lu Xiaotian out of his thoughts. The fire dragon spirit obviously had enough resentment towards the human monk who killed him in front of him.
"You were no match for me even when you were in the physical body. Now you only have the essence of your soul, and you still want to jump." Seeing the palm-sized white fire dragon in front of him, Lu Xiaotian smiled slightly, With a flick of his finger, a few strands of gray energy spread toward the fire dragon like threads.
The fire dragon's soul was startled when it saw the gray thread winding towards it, and fled away from the cave. If there is no suitable body to seize the body, it will eventually die. Turn into ashes. But it is better than being tortured to death by the human race in front of you.
Lu Xiaotian didn’t care about the actions of the fire dragon spirit, but just when the fire dragon spirit was about to escape from the cave, it suddenly stopped, and a transparent barrier appeared, blocking the Yuanshen spirit. The front of the soul. It was Lu Xiaotian who set up the formation that prohibited the soul from escaping. After all, he had been immersed in the formation for several years. During this period, he repeatedly deduced the formation. For the time being, he could not deploy a formation that was powerful enough to deal with the foundation-building monks, but the fire The dragon essence is only the soul of the fourth-level fire dragon, so naturally there is no big problem.
The fire dragon essence hit the restraint, screamed in pain, and turned to another place, still bruised and swollen. Because Lu Xiaotian used the soul arresting technique in the "Soul Swallowing Technique" for the first time, he was not very good yet. He is skilled, but he is not in a hurry, and the fire dragon spirits on the left and right cannot escape from his Five Finger Mountain. The gray silk thread that popped out from Lu Xiaotian's fingers was quite jerky at first, and the movement was not very flexible. The fire dragon spirit was able to escape everywhere, but the cave had been restricted by Lu Xiaotian, and the fire dragon spirit could only move within a limited space. There is no way to escape.
As time goes by, Lu Xiaotian controls more and more gray threads, and their movements become more flexible.
What started as a few gray threads in the wind has now turned into dozens of gray threads. Densely packed, they have been woven into a small net.
A few hours later, the small gray net chased the fire dragon essence for a long time and finally caught it. The fire dragon spirit struggled in the gray net for a while, and broke out of the net within a moment.
Lu Xiaotian frowned slightly, but soon relaxed it. After all, it was his first time to practice the secret technique of the Soul Swallowing Technique, and he didn’t expect to succeed in the first attempt. Whether it was refining elixirs or deducing formations, he had experienced too many failures. Only by standing up from failures could he go further.
Soon, the gray thread weaved into a small net in the air again, covering the fire dragon spirit.
The fire dragon essence broke through the net again and again, but the time to break the net was longer and longer each time.
For several days, Lu Xiaotian has been playing this cat-and-mouse game. It was not until seven days later that no matter how hard the fire dragon spirit struggled, it could not break free from the gray net, and a satisfied smile appeared on Lu Xiaotian's face. It is really not easy to practice this soul-swallowing method. With his current level of cultivation, he can barely confine this fourth-level Yuan Shen spirit, but he still has to prevent this Yuan Shen spirit from suffering too much damage. If I really want to replace that seventh-level fire dragon, I don't know how long it will take.
Just as he was about to proceed with the next step of refining, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from outside the cave. Lu Xiaotian looked happy. This was the warning sound they had agreed upon. This was the warning sound that the Star-Eyed Stonefish had been discovered.
Lu Xiaotian did not care about continuing to refine the fire dragon essence, and put it directly into the vial. His body burst out of the hole. Several other foundation-building monks on the island also took off one after another. Only Zhao Li was there. Looking at the people in the distance near the cave.
