People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

When the Qinghai Reverend and several other banner slaves heard Xiao Ling's words, their faces were instantly filled with surprise. Being able to get a chance to improve one's strength was something that no one would wish for.

Especially Venerable Qinghai, his expression was extremely ecstatic.

Thinking back, he started following Xiao Ling relatively late, so he did not receive much emphasis in training, and his cultivation has never been as good as that of the old demon. It was also because of this that he was constrained in many things before.

You know, that old demon was just a Dou Zong level when he was alive. Such strength was not worth mentioning in the eyes of Qinghai Venerable. However, the other party often pointed fingers in front of him, which had long made Qinghai Venerable very angry and unhappy.

Now, having finally waited for this opportunity that would greatly advance his cultivation, Venerable Qinghai had already started to make plans in his mind.

He thought that after his strength was greatly improved, the next time he met that old demon, he would definitely vent his anger and let the other party see how powerful he was.

The Qinghai Reverend was the first to come to his senses. He quickly knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Ling, with a face full of piety and gratitude, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your gift, Master. We will definitely sacrifice our lives to repay your kindness."

Seeing this, the other slaves followed suit, kneeling on one knee and saying in unison: "Thank you, Master, for your gift. We will be loyal and will never have second thoughts."

The loud yet somewhat hoarse voice echoed in the hall, full of respect and gratitude for Xiao Ling, as if at this moment they had tied everything they had to Xiao Ling and were willing to serve him to the utmost.

Xiao Ling didn't take it too seriously. He just waved his hand gently as a response to their gratitude.

After using the Ten Thousand Souls Banner for some time, Xiao Ling noticed a rather interesting phenomenon.

Although those soul bodies can retain their own memories after being transformed into banner slaves, their intelligence is greatly affected by their cultivation.

If their cultivation is still below the Dou Ling level, then they are really no different from ordinary wandering ghosts, muddle-headed and without much intelligence.

However, once one's cultivation breaks through the Dou Zun level, the situation will be very different.

At this time, the intelligence of the banner slaves is no different from that of normal people, and relying on their memories of their previous lives, they have also developed unique temperaments and styles of behavior, appearing quite vivid and lively. If they had not undergone a fundamental change, they would not be much different from real people.

Of course, Xiao Ling didn’t have much thought about the use of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner at the moment.

At this moment, almost all of his attention was firmly attracted by the soul origin in front of him. His eyes were fixed on the ball of light that emitted a soft and pure luster, as if everything around him had been temporarily forgotten by him, and his heart and eyes were filled with this soul origin that was of great help to his cultivation.

Soul is the root of life. Everything in the world has soul, and in the deepest part of the soul, there is often a trace of the origin of the soul.

This origin of the soul is not only the foundation for the birth of the soul, but also the purest and most mysterious energy in the world, containing endless mystery and mysterious power.

"With so many soul origins, I wonder how many souls they are condensed from."

Xiao Ling couldn't help but shook his head slightly. He could clearly sense keenly that a huge amount of soul origins gathered in the soul light ball in front of him. Although there was no intelligence in these soul origins, there were still some resentment, unwillingness and other emotions left by some souls before they completely disappeared.

However, it is extremely difficult to completely refine these emotions. If they are absorbed indiscriminately, it will definitely have an adverse effect on one's own mind. Xiao Ling naturally knows the pros and cons of this.

Of course, it is not a difficult task for Xiao Ling to remove the negative emotions left by those souls in this soul origin before their complete demise so that it can be absorbed normally.

You know, Xiao Ling's body contains several kinds of strange fire. He just needs to find a suitable opportunity and use the strange fire to refine the soul origin, and then absorb it. In this way, he can make full use of this precious soul origin and help his mental cultivation to reach a higher level.

However, just as this thought emerged in Xiao Ling's mind, the ancestral stone in his body actually trembled slightly, as if it had sensed something.

Soon, the emotionless, cold and indifferent voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit slowly reached Xiao Ling's ears:

"Xiao Ling, the soul essence that your men have collected this time is indeed a rare treasure. If you can absorb it properly, it will definitely greatly enhance your strength, especially your mental strength, which will have an unimaginable improvement effect."

"That's true. I came here on purpose this time with the intention of taking away the soul essence, and then find an appropriate time to process it properly and absorb it, so as to help with the cultivation of spiritual power."

Xiao Ling was slightly stunned at first, feeling somewhat puzzled, and then he used his mental power to transmit his voice and responded: "However, Yan, you brought up this topic now, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Indeed, I can sense that these soul origins are mixed with a lot of negative emotions, and it seems that someone has secretly used some means to control them. If you rashly absorb them, it will inevitably have many adverse effects on you."

The spirit of the ancestral stone did not delay, and the indifferent voice once again reached Xiao Ling's ears.

"Although the strange fire in your body has the ability to completely refine it, the process does require a lot of time and energy. And it just so happens that I am quite good at handling matters in this area. In my opinion, let me handle matters related to the origin of the soul, so that you can save some energy."

"Since you said so, I have no reason to refuse. Thank you for your concern. I will leave this matter to you." After hearing the words of the Spirit of the Ancestral Stone, Xiao Ling came to his senses and replied to the Spirit of the Ancestral Stone.

The spirit of the ancestral stone is indeed more adept at purifying these negative emotions. Maybe the effect after it is processed is better than using the strange fire by oneself.

Besides, since they offered to help, there was no reason for Xiao Ling to refuse. He could just sit back and enjoy the results, saving a lot of time and trouble. It was a win-win situation. Why not do it?

With the arrangement made, Xiao Ling didn't think any more. He waved his sleeves, and the soul origin was instantly attracted by a strange force and floated towards Xiao Ling. Then, it went straight into Xiao Ling's body without any hindrance.

Upon seeing this, the spirit of the ancestral stone in Xiao Ling's body immediately took action. A soft light flashed, and it steadily collected the soul origin into the vast space inside the ancestral stone.

Then, the voice of the spirit of the ancestral stone sounded again, revealing a bit of seriousness: "You just rest assured, I will carefully purify the negative emotions in this soul origin one by one, and then transform it properly. By then, it will become pure energy that will be of great benefit to you. You just need to wait patiently. If there is anything, just call me." Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his heart full of expectations. With the help of the spirit of the ancestral stone, he was more and more full of longing for the role that this soul origin would play in the future.

After dealing with the important matter of the origin of the soul, Xiao Ling discussed the many situations inside the Soul Palace in detail with Reverend Qinghai and others.

Xiao Ling expressed some of his ideas and plans one by one, and made a series of detailed discussions and strategies regarding many aspects such as the current situation in the Soul Palace and personnel arrangements.

After everything was explained, Xiao Ling had an idea and used a secret method to bring Reverend Qinghai and others into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

There are many targets for them to hunt in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner at this moment, so they can give full play to their skills and get more opportunities to improve their strength.

After giving those banner slaves some substantial benefits, Xiao Ling carefully selected a dozen Dou Zun-level banner slaves to stay, and then called Qinghai Zun to his side and instructed:
"Qinghai, find an opportunity later and take them to the Soul Palace's high-level officials to register and try to get them to join the Soul Palace smoothly. In this way, we can place more of our own people in the Soul Palace, and it will be easier for me to obtain information from within the Soul Palace in the future. As for the origins of these people, you can arrange it yourself. I believe you have the ability to do so."

Reverend Qinghai quickly responded respectfully, patting his chest and promising that he would get the matter done and would never let Xiao Ling down.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly. Seeing that everything was arranged properly, he did not delay any longer. With a flash of his body, he turned into a stream of light and left the Soul Palace branch alone in a leisurely manner.

His figure was as fast as lightning, shuttling through the still eerie and strange Dark Abyss Ghost Valley. After a while, he was out of the valley and headed straight towards the place where Zi Yan and the others were resting temporarily.

When Xiao Ling appeared in the resting place, Zi Yan and the others were looking forward to it with some curiosity. Now seeing him return safely, they immediately showed joy on their faces. They hurriedly went to greet him and asked about Xiao Ling's trip.

Facing everyone's inquiries, Xiao Ling just made up an excuse, saying that he went to the surrounding mountains to search for opportunities, but unfortunately he didn't find anything too rare and good, so he came back. Everyone didn't suspect anything after hearing this, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Afterwards, everyone took a short rest in this resting place to recuperate, then they packed up their belongings again and set out on the journey back to the northwest continent.

……

Northwestern continent, the Black Domain Plain.

Looking at the vast plain, it seems as if the earth has no boundaries and stretches endlessly into the distance.

The ground is covered with black jade-like stones of different sizes, which are inlaid in the earth in a staggered manner. Under the reflection of the sun, they have a faint cold luster, as if telling the traces left by time.

Occasionally, a few tough weeds would poke their heads out from the cracks in the rocks with difficulty, trembling in the wind, highlighting the desolation and loneliness of this land.

In the distant sky, a slender black shadow flashed like lightning, cutting through the slightly gloomy sky.

Looking closely, it turned out to be the slender and majestic Rayquaza. It stretched its body with an agile posture, and was flying across the sky at an extremely fast speed.

And at the place where the dragon head of the Split Sky Throne was held high, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan stood side by side, standing quietly, looking ahead.

At this moment, a trace of alertness flashed across Zi Yan's lively eyes, as if she had suddenly noticed something unusual. She quickly raised her slender finger forward, then slightly tilted her head, looked at Xiao Ling beside her, and said:
"Xiao Ling, look over there, there seems to be a black storm raging, the momentum doesn't look right. Should we avoid it first?"

"What are you afraid of? Just rush forward. These are just small winds and waves. To Rayquaza, it's just a matter of a thought." After hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Ling just chuckled with an indifferent look on his face.

You know, Rayquaza itself has the powerful ability to calm all kinds of severe weather.

A mere black storm might be a natural disaster that must be avoided in the eyes of ordinary people, but with the current strength of Rayquaza, if it wanted to, even freezing the black storm directly would be a completely easy and effortless thing.

After hearing Xiao Ling's confident words, a hint of contempt flashed in Liekongzuo's huge eyes, as if the black storm was not worth mentioning at all in its eyes.

Then, it let out a loud and loud neigh towards the sky, and its slender and agile body twisted violently. The flying speed of its entire body instantly increased a few points. With an indomitable momentum, it rushed straight towards the overwhelming black storm in front of it.

When the black storm approached the Rayquaza, it seemed to be suddenly hit by an invisible and powerful resistance. The originally raging violent airflow miraculously stabilized where the Rayquaza passed.

The whistling wind suddenly stopped, the dust stopped flying wildly, everything became quiet, and there was no more abnormality.

It was as if the black storm in front of Rayquaza instantly retracted all its power and made way for it.

And when Rayquaza completely passed through the black storm, the scene below also changed slightly.

A few people looked down and saw that on the originally desolate and silent Black Jade Plain, they could occasionally see a few cities built there in an orderly manner.

Looking further away, there were still many pedestrians walking across the vast black plain, which added a bit of liveliness to the scene and no longer seemed as lonely as before.

At this time, the Little Medical Fairy walked to Xiao Ling's side. She gently stroked a strand of hair on her forehead, then looked at the vague outline of the large city in her sight. A trace of anticipation flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but chuckled and said softly, "It seems that the Black Horn Region is almost here."

Xiao Ling also nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, his eyes filled with a mixture of emotion and expectation.

"After so many years, we are finally going to come back. Looking back on those days in the academy, they are still vivid in my mind. I don't know what Canaan Academy has become now, but it must be more prosperous."
