Chapter 212: Third level seal and joining the Evil Slaying Department
Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, inside the Jingshe.
“I didn’t expect that it would be so difficult to obtain military merit!”
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Zhou Ling sipped his tea and murmured.
At noon, after eating with Wang Qingshang and the others, Zhou Ling returned to the Taoist Temple.
He also sent a message to Lu Yunxi and asked about military achievements.
Lu Yunxi also quickly gave him a reply.
Military merit is different from the points earned in normal times.
You need to participate in the Dao Alliance Opening War to obtain it.
As for the points earned in daily life, they cannot be converted into military merit.
"Compared with participating in the realm opening war, joining the Evil Slaying Department seems to be safer!"
Zhou Ling thought in his mind.
No wonder people are keen to participate in the realm development war. It turns out that there is a motivation for military merit rewards.
My current spiritual soul cultivation level is no less than that of a late-stage foundation-building monk, with the addition of two spiritual soul talent aids.
There are also five spiritual flames, which are all means to restrain the Blood Soul Cult monks.
"Also, the mysterious robe that has been refined now is enough to block the soul attack of the monks at the peak of Foundation Establishment."
"So as long as you don't encounter the Blood Soul Cult monks with golden elixir cultivation, you will still be safe."< br>
“And the Blood Soul Cult monks with Golden Core cultivation level generally don’t dare to show up in various fairy cities easily.”
Zhou Ling secretly calculated.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to join the Evil Slaying Department.
Let’s get some military glory first.
With military merit, there will be a foundation for building a family in the future.
After making the decision, he took out the sound transmission jade and sent the sound transmission jade to Wang Qingshang, "Sister Qingshang, I want to join the evil-killing department."
Then, he took the tea cup , drinking spiritual tea, waiting for the other party's reply.
“Okay, you will go to Xuanting Division to complete the formalities tomorrow!”
After a while, Wang Qingshang replied.
After deciding to join the Evil Slaying Department, Zhou Ling took out the jade slip given by Qin Zhizheng today and looked at it.
After reading the jade slips, Zhou Ling couldn't help but look happy.
This so-called method of controlling seals is also extremely subtle.
The main thing is to use the advantage of the number of inscriptions and imprints to increase the power of the imprints.
Moreover, the power of the drawn imprint will not be affected, and if the quantity and quality are sufficient, the power can even be improved.
This method of controlling seals uses the technique of controlling seals to condense a similar virtual imprint, which can be reproduced and improved in various situations of the imprint.
In other words, with Zhou Ling's current cultivation level, it was originally impossible to draw a third-level imprint.
However, you can use the seal control technique to condense a virtual seal, thereby reducing the difficulty of refining the third-level imprint.
This is also a unique cultivation method to improve the imprint.
However, after Zhou Ling read it, he also knew that it is not easy to master this seal control technique.
Because this Condensed Void Seal has extremely high requirements for the soul, monks who do not have enough spiritual soul cultivation will not be able to complete it at all.
A second-level high-grade virtual seal, the spiritual soul cultivation level cannot reach the late stage of foundation building, and it cannot be condensed at all.
And this is only the first layer of printing control.
There are two and three levels behind, that is, two or three control seals are condensed, which consumes even more souls.
It can also be condensed, and the power of the imprint will be increased accordingly.
Zhou Ling immediately took out the third-order inscription recorded in Qin Zhizheng's jade slip and looked at it.
A total of sixty-four commonly used third-level inscriptions are recorded here, mainly low- and middle-grade inscriptions, and a few are high-grade inscriptions.
Each imprint has annotations and corresponding techniques for controlling the imprint.
He first selected a third-level low-grade sword seal and looked at it.
Nowadays, he has no problem refining the second-level mid-level inscriptions. For high-level inscriptions, he needs to use spiritual flames and other means.
As for the sword seal, it has a relative advantage due to the concentration of sword soul.
So he chose to start with the sword seal first.
This is a fire-attributed Thousand Flames Sword Seal.
There are three separate seals inside, consisting of a total of seventy-eight inscriptions.
Each inscription is a five-fold inscription.
Don’t talk about imprinting nodes, structures, etc.
Just drawing these seventy-eight inscriptions alone would drain the soul and spiritual power of a mid-stage foundation-building monk.
Besides the sword seal, there is also a virtual control seal.
Zhou Ling immediately watched carefully.
With the emergence of [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], the strokes of real and virtual seals began to appear clearly in his sea of consciousness.
It’s like a person doing two things at once, writing with both hands at the same time.
Zhou Ling felt a little weird.
But it does not affect his understanding of the sword seal.
I don’t know how long it took, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
In his sea of consciousness, two Thousand Fire Sword Seals, one real and one virtual, have been condensed and formed.
Like a flaming sword, the sword energy flashes on it.
This is the sword seal condensed from the soul seeds in his sea of consciousness.
After continuing to comprehend for a while, Zhou Ling felt that he had almost mastered it.
Then he took out the spiritual paper and spiritual pen, and after placing them, he began to try to refine this third-level low-grade Thousand Fire Sword Seal.
Due to the existence of the virtual seal, the difficulty of this Thousand Fire Sword Seal is roughly equivalent to the second-level top grade imprint.
But after a while, faint black smoke rose from the spiritual paper.
Failed!
Of course, this is also the effect Zhou Ling can expect.
Then start the talent observation and analysis.
[You are observing the Thousand Fire Sword Seal, intermediate observation +1, Thousand Fire Sword Seal proficiency +1]
[You are analyzing the Thousand Fire Sword Seal, intermediate analysis +1, Thousand Fire Sword Seal proficiency +1] 1】
Unable to master it for a while, Zhou Ling could only go back to the old way, rely on prompts to gain proficiency, and slowly improve.
At the same time, his proficiency in the art of controlling seals also increased.
·······.
Before I knew it, the red clouds were rising outside.
"The third level Thousand Fire Sword Seal is really difficult!"
Looking at the small pile of waste spiritual paper in front of him, Zhou Ling shook his head helplessly.
However, as his proficiency increased, his progress was already very fast, and he felt that he would be able to draw this Thousand Fire Sword Seal in two or three days.
Zhou Ling is also very satisfied with this result!
You know, there is a huge gap between the second-level inscription and the third-level inscription, similar to the foundation-building monks and the golden elixir monks.
For ordinary second-grade weapon refiners, it is impossible to draw it without ten years of hard work.
But Zhou Ling was already able to touch the threshold of third-level imprints just by practicing the Seal Control Technique, and his level of refining imprints also improved by leaps and bounds.
So this is the benefit of having a famous teacher to guide you.
Furthermore, this kind of seal control technique is generally not easily passed on from person to person.
It can be seen that Qin Zhizheng is optimistic about Zhou Ling.
Of course, if it is an ordinary monk, there is no talent support and powerful soul, plus spiritual flames.
It is not that easy to master this seal control technique.
This is also Zhou Ling’s unparalleled advantage.
As long as he controls the seal control technique, Zhou Ling can refine the third-level imprint with his initial cultivation of foundation building.
It's not impossible.
This may not be possible for other foundation-building monks, not to mention the early stage of foundation-building, or the later stage of foundation-building.
But Zhou Ling is different, he has this foundation.
Five Elements Heaven Grade Foundation Establishment, the spiritual power in the body is no less than that of ordinary monks in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Coupled with the aid of talents such as [Meticulousness], both the understanding of imprints and the consumption when drawing them are far lower than those of ordinary second-grade weapon refiners.
Now coupled with this seal control technique, it is like a fish in water. Afterwards, Zhou Ling took a short rest before getting up and leaving the training room.
Today I promised Wang Qingshang that I would join the Evil Slaying Department.
Go and settle your identity first. As for whether there will be a mission, he doesn't know.
But from the conversation between Wang Qingshang and He Zijian during dinner yesterday, he could also guess that there are still two or three Blood Soul Cult disciples lurking in Qingyun Immortal City.
One of them is still in the late stage of foundation building.
·······.
"Zhou Ling, these are the current members of our Evil Slaying Department."
"In addition to me, there are He Zijian, Han Qingyi, and Mu Jianshi who is out."< br>
In a side hall of Xuanting Division, Wang Qingshang, tall and calm in a lake blue dress, was introducing the current situation of the Evil Slaying Department to Zhou Ling.
"I won't talk about He Zijian. Han Qingyi is a disciple of the inner courtyard of Tianxia Taoist Academy. He is currently in the middle stage of foundation building. He is also a rune master and has a very high spiritual level."
"The wooden sword stone is Jiutian. A disciple of the inner courtyard of the Sword Academy and a direct disciple of the dean of the Sword Academy. He is in the middle stage of foundation building and has already understood the spirit of the sword three years ago. "
"I have seen Fellow Daoist Han!" Zhou Ling followed a man in light green. Dress, the sweet-looking girl cupped her hands.
“Are you Zhou Ling, the talented young man who built the foundation of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy this year?”
Han Qingyi smiled and greeted Zhou Ling.
"I can't say I'm a genius, it's just a bit of luck!"
Zhou Ling said modestly.
After arriving at Xuanting Division and meeting Wang Qingshang, Wang Qingshang took him through the identity procedures of the Evil Slaying Department.
After a brief review, it was approved.
Zhou Ling also received a jade identity card, and from now on he will be a member of the Evil-Slaying Department.
Then he and Wang Qingshang came to the office of the Evil Slaying Department.
Meet He Zijian and Han Qingyi.
I also learned something about the Evil Slaying Department.
Since it is a new department that has just been established, everything is still under preparation.
Today, there are only five people, including Zhou Ling.
The others, except He Zijian, are all in the middle stage of foundation building.
And He Zijian was able to enter the Evil Slaying Department because his strength was recognized by Wang Qingshang during the process of chasing the disciples of the Blood Soul Sect.
As for the situation of the other two, Zhou Ling didn't know.
Of course, the most powerful one must be Wang Qingshang. At such a young age, he is able to independently assume the responsibility for the establishment of such a key department.
This shows the trust that Xuantingsi senior officials have in her.
No, maybe it's also possible that the senior officials of Xuanting Division are members of her Wang family.
Zhou Ling couldn't help but guess.
Zhou Ling doesn’t know what is going on in other places.
But I also worked in Tiangong Division for several years.
Zhou Ling also knows that most of the key positions in various departments of the Dao League are still in the hands of monks from aristocratic families.
He was also looked after by Qin Zhizheng in the Tiangong Department.
Otherwise, it would be so easy to get around without a backer.
"Zhou Ling, a disciple of Lingxia Immortal City, eleven years old, defeated the sword cultivator Jin Sheng at the seventh level of Qi training and entered Xuanyuan Taoist Academy."
" Failed the entrance foundation building test”
“Won the first place in the foundation building seed competition”
······
“I won the first place in the inner courtyard’s combat prowess competition!”
“You are truly the number one genius of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, and you are so humble!”
>
Han Qingyi immediately read out Zhou Ling's achievements over the years, one by one.
Zhou Ling couldn't help but look stunned. It turned out that the peerless genius was actually himself!
He always thought that his character was a talent achieved through hard training, but now the information filed with the Evil Slaying Department showed that he was a genius with extremely outstanding combat power and skills.
I never thought I had such a genius character.
It is also the official information of the Dao League.
"Zhou Ling, Senior Sister Han is mainly responsible for intelligence matters!"
At this time, He Zijian reminded him.
Only then did Zhou Ling look stunned.
When thinking about intelligence, a clever person like Sun Dajie might be more suitable.
Han Qingyi’s cultivation seems a bit wasted.
"If you need any information in the future, just ask me!"
Han Qingyi said with a smile.
"Okay, Senior Sister Han!"
Zhou Ling said with cupped hands.
Subsequently, Wang Qingshang briefly introduced all aspects of the treatment of the Evil Slaying Department to Zhou Ling.
You can usually receive two mid-grade spiritual stones every month.
In addition, by killing a remnant of the Blood Soul Cult and cultivating the middle stage of foundation building, you can obtain forty military merits.
At the later stage of foundation building, it is one hundred and twenty, and at the peak of foundation building, it is three hundred.
By analogy, the higher the cultivation level of the Blood Soul Sect monks killed, the more military achievements they will have.
There are also other benefits, which are similar to those of Tiangong Division.
There is a difference in terms of military merit.
“The Blood Soul Cult has made a resurgence in recent years, appearing constantly in various places, making it difficult for people to guard against it.”
"The Xuanting Division has too many responsibilities to deal with the remnants of the Blood Soul Sect, so it established the Evil Slaying Department."
"It is also the determination of the top leaders of the Dao Alliance to wipe out the Blood Soul Sect."
Wang Qingshang continued to introduce to Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling nodded and listened patiently.
“Now we in Qingyun Fairy City, including you, have a total of five people, so we don’t have many people.”
"So during this period, in order to pursue the remnants of the Blood Soul Sect, everyone must be on standby and attack at any time!"
"Understood!"
The three of them raised their hands and said.
Then, Wang Qingshang took out the photo jade again.
After being stimulated, some battle scenes are condensed.
Among them are scenes of encircling and suppressing the Blood Soul Cult monks.
The reason why these Blood Soul Cult remnants are difficult to deal with.
The main reason is that their methods are extremely weird, and they are extremely good at soul attacks, making them difficult to guard against.
There are not many monks who are good at spiritual cultivation.
So monks with only thunder and fire attributes will not suffer a disadvantage against the remnants of the Blood Soul Sect.
This is why Wang Qingshang tried every means to recruit Zhou Ling into the Evil Slaying Department after seeing Zhou Ling's astonishing performance in the inner court competition of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.
With three third-grade spiritual flames, Zhou Ling would not suffer any loss even if he faced a Blood Soul Cult monk in the late stage of foundation building.
In addition, in addition to their strange attack methods, Blood Soul Cult monks can also absorb the blood essence of other monks to restore and improve their cultivation.
It recovers much faster than ordinary monks.
So, once you hunt down the remnants of the Blood Soul Cult, you must kill them with one strike.
Once it escapes, it will be a big trouble.
Like this time, the remnant of the Blood Soul Sect in the late stage of foundation building escaped.
He will definitely kill other monks and absorb their essence and blood to restore his cultivation.
So we must find its whereabouts and kill it as soon as possible.
Avoid fearless casualties.
Before leaving, Zhou Ling asked Wang Qingshang for a photo jade, which was of great help to him.
With [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], he can use the pictures in it to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the Bleeding Soul Cult monks' techniques.
When you encounter the remnants of the Blood Soul Cult in the future, you will be able to deal with them with ease.
