Su Ziyu had quite a few soul beads in his hand. He had obtained some of them in the world of demon hunters before.
Because it was small and didn't take up much space, although he didn't know how to use it, it was a rare material after all, so he kept it in his private space. In this world, he got a lot of soul beads, although not many reached the level of the Yokai Principle, but there were ordinary warrior spirits, lanterns, ghost spirits, flying head barbarian spirits, etc. He probably had 40 to 50 of them in his hands, but he kept them in his private space without knowing how to use them.
——"Spirit of the Warrior (refinable): Gain 15 energy points after refining."
——"Spirit of the Lantern Ghost (refinable): Gain 5 energy points after refining."
——"Spirit of the Heavenly Demon (can be refined): Gain 6 energy points after refining."
——"Spirit of Yaksha (can be refined): after refining, gain 50 energy points."
Most soul beads can only provide five to ten points of energy, but the Yaksha Spirit can provide fifty points of energy, which adds up to an estimated seven to eight hundred points of energy. The most valuable one is the soul bead that An Zhen left behind in the real dream.
——"Anzhen's Principle (can be refined): After refining, gain 800 energy points."
If I had known earlier, I would not have given the Principles of the New Wife and the Principles of the Mountain Boy to Ampei Seimei's two sons.
Su Ziyu felt a little bit sorry, but since the things were already given away, he naturally had no intention of taking them back. Now that he thought about it, he found that the drop of soul beads seemed to have a certain relationship with psychic lightning. Usually, the chance of soul beads dropping from enemies he killed with his sword was not high, but some high-quality soul beads were basically dropped after he killed the enemies with psychic lightning.
This is how the Theory of the New Bride and the Theory of the Mountain Boy came about. When he first obtained the soul orb, he also used the psychic lightning to kill the plague banshee.
"Husband?" Qingji stood beside and spoke cautiously.
"Oh." Su Ziyu responded, stretched out his hand to pick up the demon gourd in front of him, and said softly: "Let's eat first."
"This thing has been refined by me."
Qing Ji was very happy when she heard this and said, "Congratulations to my husband for obtaining a magic weapon."
This magic gourd is indeed not simple.
After dinner, Qingji went to teach her six younger sisters how to read. Even the unhappy Wuji and Liuji were captured. Basically, except Yiji, the other five snake princesses all disliked reading.
Su Ziyu first took out a Heavenly Evil Ghost Spirit. Along with a faint spiritual light, a suction force came from the magic gourd. The Heavenly Evil Ghost Spirit gradually disintegrated when it was sucked into the magic gourd. The light black soul bead directly turned into a ball of gray mist, and then disappeared before his eyes bit by bit.
At the same time, the energy value stored in the magic gourd began to increase little by little.
The rate of this rise is not very fast.
It takes about a minute for the energy value to increase a little bit. It seems that it takes time for the magic gourd to refine these soul beads.
“I wonder how much it can hold?”
Su Ziyu took out all the soul beads, then used his spiritual energy to activate the magic gourd and tapped it gently, saying, "Collect!"
A light gray mist emerged.
All the soul beads began to melt the moment they came into contact with the mist. Then a suction force came from the magic gourd, and it actually sucked all the soul beads in one breath.
The magic gourd in Su Ziyu's hand seemed to have sunk a little bit, and it was probably only less than one-fifth full.
"You can refine 60 points of energy in one hour."
"These can be refined in about ten hours." Su Ziyu thought for a moment, then stood up and walked outside.
He has mastered how to refine soul beads.
But the magic gourd has more abilities than just this one. That day, he saw that Shuten-doji seemed to be able to directly suck ghosts into it and devour them. This could be considered a means of fighting the enemy. He planned to take it out and see if he could do it.
To refine ghosts, one naturally has to go to the underworld, but it was not dark yet, so Su Ziyu simply took a walk around Kyoto.
Today, the entire Kyoto is in such a dilapidated state that it will probably take more than a decade to recover. There are empty houses everywhere, and there is not a soul to be seen when walking on the two streets.
Ghost Kyoto.
As the sky gradually darkened, Su Ziyu passed through Rashomon and entered the Ghost Kyoto. He did not go directly to the underworld, but got up and flew to a desolate wilderness.
It flew for about five or six minutes.
A will-o'-the-wisp appeared in front of Su Ziyu's eyes. These were all unconscious wandering souls, the lowest level of ghosts, without any self-thoughts at all, and they would only float around unconsciously in the wild.
——"Soul Eater!"
Su Ziyu injected spiritual energy into the magic gourd. With a faint spiritual light, the magic gourd in his hand suddenly grew larger, flew up into the air and stayed in mid-air. Then a gray mist emerged, accompanied by a suction force, and the seven or eight ghost fires around were all sucked into the magic gourd.
"Alarm! Alarm!"
"The pollution value of the demon gourd has increased!..."
Su Ziyu frowned and waved his hand, and the magic gourd flew back to his hand. He picked it up and took a look, and found that the stored energy value had increased by about ten points, but a special prompt also appeared on the back of the magic gourd.
——"The current pollution value is 0.1%!"
Can't you just devour the ghost?
Su Ziyu opened the lid of the demon gourd, and a faint wailing sound came from it, which seemed to be the remnants of the ghost fire that had been swallowed.
If it is refining soul beads, then there will be no abnormalities.
But if Su Ziyu refines the ghost directly, the pollution value of the demon gourd will increase. He suspected that this was how Shuten-doji turned it into a polluted body. This big monster didn't know where he got this demon gourd from, but it was said that after Shuten-doji occupied Tanba Mountain, he would use the blood of living people to make wine. Now it seems that he probably let the demon gourd refine it directly.
"Can even humans be refined?" Su Ziyu was a little curious, but did not dare to try it easily.
If the magic gourd turns into a polluted body again, he will suffer a great loss.
"Let's look around to see if there are any ghosts." Su Ziyu stood up and looked at the sky. He couldn't sleep if he went back now, so he might as well take a walk in the underworld.
There aren't that many ghosts wandering around the underworld now.
Su Ziyu had only been walking for a short while when he met a night patrol. They were quite alert when they saw Su Ziyu from afar. After seeing his appearance clearly, they respectfully said, "Master Su!"
"Are there any ghosts around here?" Su Ziyu asked.
The night patrols looked at each other carefully and said, "We have captured all the wandering ghosts nearby. There are absolutely no ghosts in this area."
I'm not holding you accountable for being so cautious.
However, it seems that there are indeed fewer wandering souls in the underworld. There are night patrols back and forth about every few dozen miles. Yama has promoted quite a few ghost officials during this period. I don’t know what kind of power her pardon has that can directly make the patrolling ghost officials have such impressive strength.
Su Ziyu flew around Ghost Kyoto and only found some wandering ghosts. They disappeared after being touched by psychic lightning, and only two or three soul beads were dropped.
They are basically the worst quality.
The entire area around Ghost Kyoto is very peaceful now, and he couldn't even find any wild monsters.
Huh? What is this?
Su Ziyu, who was wandering aimlessly in the underworld, suddenly stopped. He looked down at his feet and found a rather ugly mushroom. There was a vague human face on the black mushroom, and the surface was glowing with a lavender sheen. It was obviously poisonous. Su Ziyu had no interest in this kind of thing, but it triggered a data prompt.
——"Ghost Mushroom (can be refined)!"
Is this ok?
Su Ziyu pointed at the demon gourd curiously and said, "Collect it!"
Then the magic gourd became bigger, and with a suction force it directly sucked the ghost mushrooms under his feet in. There were actually more than ten ghost mushrooms nearby, so he simply sucked them all in in one breath.
This time the magic gourd really became much heavier.
Su Ziyu took it in his hand and weighed it. It seemed to have become heavier by more than a pound. He opened it and took a look inside. He could actually see that the ghost mushrooms stored inside were being enveloped by a light gray mist, and were gradually turning into something like **.
One ghost mushroom can refine about 1 point of energy.
At this time, Su Ziyu seemed to have found some new toy. He took the magic gourd and wandered around the wild mountains and wilderness in the underworld to see if he could find anything that could be refined.
After searching for so long, he actually found some.
Ghost mushrooms are the most common type, and most of them grow in places with strong yin energy. One can be refined to produce some energy, but the refining speed is slower than that of soul beads.
In addition, he also found a kind of 'evening primrose'. The quantity was not large, but one could be refined into 5 points of energy.
The biggest gain came from a steep cliff in the underworld.
When Su Ziyu was wandering around out of boredom, he found a little red spiritual light, and then when he flew over, he saw something that looked like Ganoderma lucidum, dark red in color, and felt like a piece of wood when he held it. After refining it, it actually increased his energy value by a full 150 points. Originally, Su Ziyu wanted to find out if there were any more nearby, but after wandering around for a long time, he only saw one, and seeing that it was getting late, he had no choice but to give up.
He found a little trick tonight, that is, after activating the spiritual vision, if he sees spiritual light on any plant, then it is basically a good thing that can be refined.
It seemed that most of what he found today were medicinal herbs.
By the time Su Ziyu returned, the energy value stored in the magic gourd had reached more than 1,100 points, which was enough to refine a portion of nectar. However, he had plundered all the territories near Ghost Kyoto, and basically refined all that could be refined.
No one knows when these medicinal herbs from the underworld will grow again.
A faint aroma of wine permeates the air.
As Su Ziyu refined the stored energy, a very special wine aroma came out of the demon gourd. Different from the bloody smell in Shuten-doji's hand, the smell after Su Ziyu refined it was a bit like a medicinal smell. He picked it up and put it under his nose to smell it. It really had a little bit of the smell of medicinal wine, but the aroma was very long, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
It looks delicious.
Su Ziyu seldom drank alcohol on weekdays. The most he drank was when he was with the demon hunters like Fantesin. He picked up the magic gourd and poured out a cup to have a look. What came out was really nectar, a kind of amber-like liquid with a jade color.
——"Nectar and Jade Dew (Legendary Item)"
"Effect: This is a fine wine that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After drinking it, you can permanently improve your physical fitness and energy limit, and slightly increase the upper limit of a small part of your lifespan."
It's actually a legendary item?
The amount of nectar produced by the magic gourd after one refining is about one cup. When Su Ziyu poured it out, it actually appeared as an independent legendary item.
However, once poured out, the spirituality of the nectar began to dissipate bit by bit.
Su Ziyu quickly raised his glass and drank it all!
A moment later.
He smacked his lips with a bit of satisfaction and couldn't help but say, "Why is it just this little? I can't even taste what it is!"
Su Ziyu had never tasted wine so good.
It was a pity that he had only tasted a little bit of it before he could taste the flavor. The wine in the cup was almost melted in his mouth, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a hot current flowing through his body. Rather than tasting a glass of wine, it was better to say that he tasted a breath of spiritual energy.
Su Ziyu felt warm all over, and the upper limit of his spiritual energy was increasing little by little.
The whole process lasted about ten minutes, and then the heat gradually dissipated. He closed his eyes and felt his body. The upper limit of his spiritual energy value increased by about 3%. He didn't feel any obvious physical enhancement, but he felt a heat flow passing through his bones.
There is still a little energy left in the demon gourd.
Su Ziyu was not satisfied at all after tasting the nectar. He thought about it and decided to refine another portion of the nectar. Anyway, he was still a little injured, so it wouldn't be a waste.
This time.
An extremely strong aroma of wine emanated from the magic gourd.
The smell was like the original brew of wine, extremely rich, with a long-lasting aroma. Su Ziyu picked up the magic gourd and poured out a cup. A portion of fairy wine filled about one-third of the gourd, and the amount was much higher than that of nectar.
It is still a kind of wine like jade amber, but the color is much lighter than that of nectar.
Su Ziyu finally got to drink some wine this time.
The fairy wine will no longer melt in your mouth, but will instead emit a rich wine aroma in your mouth. The taste is also extremely sweet and it actually tastes a bit like fruit wine.
If there is any disadvantage, it is that it is easy to get addicted.
Su Ziyu only drank one glass and he felt a little tipsy. He didn't know if it was because he couldn't drink much.
——"Immortal Brew (Rare Item)"
"Effect: This is a fine wine that gathers spiritual energy. After drinking it, you can recover from your injuries and replenish your consumed energy."
The demon gourd can currently produce two kinds of strange items.
One is an ordinary rare item-level immortal wine, and the other is a legendary rare item-level nectar.
