If we have to pick out a few places that make people linger after visiting, they must be the sunset glow of Xiling Mountains, the lake and mountain scenery of Qinghu Lake, and the mist and clouds of Poyue Mountain.
Two months have passed since Kong Ju and Feng An parted ways.
On the outskirts of the Xiling Mountains, there is a peak called Huangyan.
It was late at night, and Kong Ju was sitting cross-legged on the top of Huangyan Peak. There was no shelter around him, so his entire body was bathed in the moonlight.
Enshrouded in the bright moonlight, Kong Ju practiced his skills to absorb and exhale the spiritual energy from Huangyan Peak. A moon mark slowly emerged between his eyebrows, attracting the moonlight between heaven and earth to converge towards his eyebrows.
He is not only practicing the "Guanghan Taiyin Sutra" now, but also doing two things at the same time.
While absorbing the spiritual energy and transforming it into cultivation, he also practiced the "Golden Soul Refining Method" in his sea of consciousness.
If you look closely, you can see a golden bean emitting golden light in the moon disc imprint of Kong Ju.
It was just covered by the bright moonlight attracted by the Moon Seal, making it less eye-catching.
That little golden bean was what Kong Jue obtained through practicing the Jinming Shenlian technique. It was the embodiment of his spiritual consciousness.
Along the way, he did not delay for a single day for two whole months, and he only cultivated a spiritual consciousness the size of a golden bean.
One can imagine the difficulty of Jin Ming's soul refining method.
The good news is that Jin Ming's soul refining method and Kong Ju's Moon Wheel Seal seem to complement each other.
When Kong Ju used the Moon Wheel Seal to attract the moonlight, the golden bean of Jin Ming's soul refining method would also be bathed in the moonlight.
Nourished by the moonlight, the golden beans of spiritual consciousness can be improved faster.
Similarly, the golden bean of spiritual consciousness will also help Yuelunyue to draw in the moonlight faster and increase Kong Jue's cultivation speed.
I don’t know if it was affected by the Moon Seal, but the color of the golden bean was not exactly the golden color recorded in the Jinming Spirit Refining Method.
Instead, it is gold with a hint of silver mixed in.
Kong Ju didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but at least after practicing for so long, he didn't feel any discomfort at all.
The night of practice passed quickly.
When the bright moon in the sky was gradually covered by the fish belly white color that quickly spread across the horizon.
Kong Ju also finished a day of practice.
Amidst the beautiful water and green mountains, he opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of cold air.
A golden light flashed in his pupils.
As the training came to an end, the moon mark on Kong Ju’s head also disappeared from his forehead.
"Yes, after two months of training, my cultivation has improved a lot."
"But at this late stage of the Nurturing Wheel, each upgrade is much more difficult than the previous one. At this speed of cultivation, I'm afraid it will take a year or two to reach the peak of the seventh realm."
After feeling the changes in the spiritual power in his body, Kong Ju's expression was calm.
With the help of the Moon Wheel Seal, his current cultivation speed is much faster than those of the outer disciples of the Cangwu Sect.
For other cultivators with average qualifications, it is possible for them to stay in the seventh level of Yanglun for four to five years, or even eight to nine years.
Therefore, Kong Ju had nothing to be dissatisfied with.
After saying this, Kong Qi suddenly closed his eyes again.
As he activated the Golden Ringing Soul Refining Technique, the golden bean of consciousness hidden between his eyebrows emerged in an instant.
The fluctuation of spiritual consciousness immediately spread out from the golden bean.
It covers a space of twenty meters in radius.
In this state, even if Kong Ju didn't open his eyes, he could clearly sense every blade of grass and every tree within a radius of twenty feet.
Even for a cultivator at the ninth level of Yanglun, it would be difficult to escape Kong Ju's perception if he wanted to get close to him.
This is the beauty of spiritual consciousness.
However, Kong Ju's spiritual awareness was not strong enough at the moment, and he could not muster up a decent spiritual awareness attack.
"However, the ability to enhance perception can also be considered an enhancement of strength." Kong Ju retracted his spiritual sense and smiled lightly.
After a moment of hesitation, he reached out and patted the Qiankun bag on his waist.
That was Xianyu Yanhe's Qiankun bag. The space inside was much larger than that of an ordinary storage bag. Almost everything was put into it by Kong Ju.
Among them was the remains of Xianyu Yanhe.
As Kong Ju's palm touched the Qiankun Bag, the body of a skinny old man with a gloomy face quickly appeared on the ground in front of him.
Kong Ju formed a seal with one hand.
The light of the golden bean of spiritual consciousness between the eyebrows suddenly surged.
Affected by Kong Ju's spiritual consciousness, the fingers of Xian Yu Yanhe's corpse moved immediately.
As his spiritual control deepened, he finally opened his pale and dilated pupils.
Slowly stood up from the ground.
It's just that the movements are a little stiff. It's clearly an old corpse, but it looks like a child taking his first steps.
Kong Ju simply controlled the corpse to walk around, and his face was already covered in sweat.
In the end, he had to cut off the spiritual consciousness that controlled Xianyu Yanhe.
"This divine manipulation of puppets is determined by the strength of the caster's divine consciousness. The number of puppets he can control and the level of his puppets are determined by their cultivation."
"It's obvious that I still have some difficulty controlling a puppet at the Ascension Wheel Realm. It's even difficult for me to walk."
Kong Ju wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "It seems that we still have to find a corpse in the Yanglun realm, which is easier."
Having said that, Kong Ju did not immediately put away Xianyu Yanhe's body.
Instead, he took off the soul-calming bell from his waist with a smile on his face.
Ding! As the palms were shaken, a clear bell sounded.
The moment the bell rang, Xian Yu Yanhe's corpse suddenly opened his pale eyes and jumped up from the ground.
His figure soared into the sky from the top of Huangyan Peak, rising straight up towards the sky until it disappeared into the clouds.
During this process, Kong Jue's eyes remained closed.
Through the soul-calming bell, he could clearly sense everything around Xian Yu Yanhe.
Although it was the puppet that was flying, he could still clearly sense the strong wind blowing around the puppet in the sky.
"My strength is not enough to control a Shenglun Realm puppet, but this Soul-Suppressing Bell can. It is equivalent to giving me an extra Shenglun Realm fighter."
"Just can't get too far away."
Thinking of this, Kong Ju did not let the puppet fly too far and flew back in a hurry.
The Soul-Calming Bell combined with the Ascension Wheel Realm Puppet Refining is currently Kong Ju's strongest life-saving trump card.
However, the Soul-Calming Bell was too complicated to be used, so Kong Ju did not dare to use it carelessly, for fear that someone would discover its identity as a spiritual weapon.
Not to mention whether it will attract covetousness.
If the news gets to the people of Gujiang, I'm afraid that before I can reach the realm of life, the life-saving masters of the Jinming tribe will chase me and kill me.
Therefore, this can only be used as a life-saving trump card and should not be used indiscriminately.
Collect Xian Yu Yanhe's body.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Kong Ju placed the soul-calming bell in his palm again.
Look at it carefully.
The spirit-infused weapon is extremely magical, and helping to control puppet refining is just one of its abilities.
It can also enhance Kong Ju's spiritual consciousness. When shaking the silver bell, all emotions can be calmed down, it has the effect of clearing the mind and resisting spiritual attacks.
Furthermore, one can directly launch spiritual attacks through the silver bell.
Just like the attack launched by Chi Shi on himself at Xianyu Yanhe's burial place.
However, using it in that way would too easily expose its identity as a spiritual weapon, so Kong Ju would not consider using it that way for the time being.
"Although the spirit-infused weapon is good, it also has its disadvantages. This thing cannot be collected by the Qiankun Bag. This greatly increases the risk of it being exposed." While sighing, Kong Ju hung the silver bell around his waist again.
In order to avoid being seen, he deliberately wore clothes with very long hems to cover it up.
However, this problem is not without a solution.
When Kong Ju's Jinming Soul Refining Method is cultivated to the third level, which is the third general level in the realm of witch cultivation, he will be able to refine it and store it in his sea of consciousness.
Now Kong Ju is at the second level of the Jinming Soul Refining Technique, and there is still some time before he reaches the third level.
Kong Ju counted on his fingers and estimated that it would take at least two more months.
This is based on the premise that Kong Ju has already reached the seventh level of Yanglun cultivation. Without the constraints of realms, he only needs to enhance his spiritual awareness.
"Before that, never expose this soul-calming bell." Muttering to himself, Kong Ju stood up from the position where he had been sitting cross-legged all night and stretched his meridians a little.
He jumped and disappeared on the spot, his figure rushing towards the foot of Huangyan Peak.
The sight shifted to the direction of Huangyan Peak, more than thirty miles away, where a small city-state stood.
It is called Luoxia City, and it is the city-state closest to the edge of the Xiling Mountains.
Going further in, you will reach the sparsely populated Xiling Mountains.
That city-state was the temporary resting place chosen by Kong Ju.
It was just that when practicing, Kong Ju would run to the mountain in order not to attract attention.
With the guidance of the sheepskin map, Kong Ju has determined the approximate location of the Xihuang small blessed land, which is among the Xiling Mountains.
The reason why Kong Ju came here was naturally because this place was closest to Xiling, making it convenient for him to survey the terrain.
After returning to the city-state, Kong Ju walked into the inn where he was staying and closed the door.
Although the furnishings in the room are simple, they have everything you need.
Kong Ju did not stay in the room for too long. After washing up, he went out again.
After one stick of incense.
Kong Ju came to the south of Luoxia City, deep in the mountains, to the mouth of a valley.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s early morning, but the location is so foggy that visibility is extremely low, and an ordinary person can hardly see their hand in front of them.
After Kong Ju walked in here, he seemed to be familiar with the route. He turned left and right in the fog. However, within a short time, the fog disappeared from his sight, and what appeared in his field of vision was a bustling market in the valley.
This is Ling City. Kong Ju found this location half a month ago after much searching.
The outer part is surrounded by a fog array, making it difficult for mortals to enter. Only cultivators with high cultivation skills can appear in this market.
However, most of them are independent practitioners.
After all, the existence of the market is to provide a platform for independent cultivators to exchange resources.
Those independent cultivators placed their items for sale on both sides of the market for visitors to choose from.
At first glance, they are not much different from the vendors in the mortal world, except that they sell different things.
There were all kinds of magical instruments, talismans, elixirs, spiritual herbs, and even refining materials from monsters, all available, numerous and diverse.
The prices vary greatly, which is a test of one's vision.
Hearing the noisy sounds around him, Kong Ju calmed himself down and walked slowly into the market.
He certainly wasn't here to buy anything.
The approximate location of the Xihuang Small Blessed Land can be determined to be within the Xiling Mountains.
But half a month ago, after Kong Ju entered the Xiling Mountains, he temporarily gave up the idea of finding the Xihuang blessed land on foot.
Because the Xiling Mountains are really too big.
It covers nearly ten thousand miles.
Trying to find the exact location by one's own efforts is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Various monsters also live in the Xiling Mountains, some of which have reached the Shenglun realm.
Kong Jue encountered attacks from monsters no less than three times every time he went there. The most dangerous one was a giant ape in the ninth realm of Yanglun, which was able to throw stones as big as houses for fun.
Kong Ju was very tactful and withdrew.
Start looking for another breakthrough.
And this Ling City is the place where Kong Ju thinks it is easy to collect information about the Xihuang Small Blessed Land.
