The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

The Wang family has a powerful member who possesses great supernatural abilities.

However, it is not an easy task to use supernatural powers to deduce the cause and effect of a third-level Soul Yuan Master and accurately find Zhang Lingfeng.

Not only does it require the help of a Soul Master, but it also requires the use of various formations in the process.

In short, although this matter is underway, it will take time to complete.

Zhang Lingfeng knew that he didn't have much time left.

He discovered that after Wang Ningzhi successfully attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and her Daoist arts took shape, he could gain over a thousand "lying down points" every day by bathing in her Daoist arts.

There was more than I had imagined.

Wang Ningzhi's Taoist magic was extremely powerful, like the aurora borealis, seemingly enveloping places like the ancient blue planet.

Having attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Wang Ningzhi's strength, immortal essence, and Daoist power have all changed dramatically.

Even if Zhang Lingfeng used all his strength, he couldn't possibly defeat Wang Ningzhi in a sneak attack.

The distinction between Golden Immortals and Great Luo Golden Immortals is a significant dividing line.

This is something that a level three Soul Essence Master cannot make up for. Zhang Lingfeng could feel that his Soul Essence power was simply unable to disrupt this balance of Daoist power, nor could it imprison Wang Ningzhi's Immortal Essence power, much less break the balance of Wang Ningzhi's Immortal Essence power.

In front of a level three Soul Master, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal is almost without any flaws. Even if one releases all their Soul Essence, they cannot break through the opponent's Daoist techniques and Immortal Essence defensive barriers to attack the opponent's soul.

This is why the Wang family was so excited when Wang Ningzhi attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and why the gap between Wang Ningzhi and Wang Dalong's status was widened so drastically.

Because the gold content of the two is fundamentally different.

Time flies.

One year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Lingfeng has accumulated over 370,000 "lying flat" points.

He decided to go to the black market again. In a year, Li Xin might have found the Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method and was waiting for him to come and buy it.

A level four Soul Essence Cultivation Method, according to market standards, would require approximately 300,000 Soul Stones.

Zhang Lingfeng originally had around 130,000 Yuan Stones. After killing Wang Dalong, he obtained 200,000 Yuan Stones from Wang Dalong. After all, he was a direct descendant of the Wang family, and the number of Yuan Stones he had far exceeded that of ordinary people.

If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can earn more in the Godhood Zone.

In short, he hoped to obtain the Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method as soon as possible.

He felt that the Wang family was fully prepared and could use their supernatural powers to calculate his exact location at any time.

He consulted Wang Ningzhi and offered to try his luck at the black market to see if he could find anything. Wang Ningzhi gave Zhang Lingfeng a jade pendant to carry with him. If he encountered danger, he only needed to inject his immortal essence into the jade pendant, and she would be able to sense it.

Zhang Lingfeng looked grateful; no matter what, Wang Ningzhi had treated him very well.

He then took the jade pendant given to him by Wang Ningzhi and entered the black market. After changing his appearance, Zhang Lingfeng arrived at the Godhood Zone.

"Miss Li!"

"gentlemen."

Zhang Lingfeng met Li Xin again.

He released a familiar aura, and Li Xin's expression became excited. She had been waiting for Zhang Lingfeng to come to her door for the past year because she wanted to cooperate with him further and also found a level four soul essence cultivation method for him.

It's just a fragment.

Soul cultivation methods above level three are subject to extremely strict control.

Even the Li family couldn't easily help Zhang Lingfeng obtain it, and Soul Essence Cultivation Methods above Level 3 are rarely available on the market.

Typically, Soul Masters borrow and exchange books with each other, forming a circle.

“Miss Li still remembers me.”

Zhang Lingfeng smiled.

How could I not remember you?

Li Xin smiled.

They invited Zhang Lingfeng into the inner courtyard.

What was he doing in the Godhood Zone?

Wang Ningzhi found it strange that the jade pendant she gave to Zhang Lingfeng could sense Zhang Lingfeng's exact location, and she discovered that Zhang Lingfeng had indeed entered the black market.

But he stayed in the Black Market God Zone.

The black market is also very large.

It is equivalent to Baiwu Star in the Blackwater Star Region.

The area of ​​Zixiao City exceeds that of the entire Blackwater Starfield.

The area of ​​the Ascension Zone within the Black Market is equivalent to two ancient planets, even larger than Wang Ningzhi's territory.

"I came here today to receive a mission, and also to inquire whether Miss Li has found a level four soul essence cultivation method."

Zhang Lingfeng said.

"To be honest, sir, I did find a level four Soul Essence cultivation method for you. Unfortunately, it's just a fragment. As you know, the Alliance has always been very strict in controlling Soul Essence cultivation methods above level three. Under normal circumstances, they only circulate within the Soul Master Guild."

Li Xin said apologetically.

Zhang Lingfeng was secretly delighted. He had the system's face, so whether it was a fragment or a complete piece, as long as it could be included in the panel, it could be automatically completed.

As long as we find it, that's fine.

Zhang Lingfeng was also aware of the alliance and the Soul Master Guild.

Having ascended to the upper world for many years and transformed from a human immortal into a golden immortal, Zhang Lingfeng naturally wouldn't forget to contact the alliance.

Especially now that they've been targeted by the Shadow Alliance.

However, according to his understanding, although the so-called alliance is still the same alliance, its power structure is different from that of the lower world. Even after Dao Dabing, the leader of the lower world alliance, ascends to heaven, he will not have a say in the upper world alliance.

In short, to gain the protection of the Upper Realm Alliance, you need to demonstrate your strength.

Furthermore, the Upper Realm Alliance is particularly complex, with many factions, making it no easy task to establish a foothold there. Moreover, the Upper Realm Alliance is mainly controlled by a few Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses.

The alliance and various forces share a consensus: they will not allow another level seven Soul Master to appear in the Upper World.

All level six Soul Masters were subjected to various forms of surveillance.

Given his rapid advancement, if he were to join the Alliance and have his secrets discovered, the Alliance would likely inflict greater damage on him than the Shadow Alliance.

The so-called Soul Essence Guild is actually controlled by the Alliance, which controls all Soul Essence cultivation methods above level three.

It also destroyed what is said to be almost all the seventh-level soul essence cultivation methods, preventing the emergence of seventh-level soul essence masters.

The whereabouts of everyone who joins the Soul Essence Master Guild are actually kept under the control of the Alliance, which will periodically test everyone's strength.

Although rewards will be given, one must also serve the alliance, and no one will be allowed to become a level 7 Soul Master.

Therefore, many Soul Essence Masters search for Soul Essence cultivation methods in black markets around the world, hoping to break free from the Alliance's control. They would rather be independent cultivators than join the Alliance and become a member of the Soul Essence Master Guild.

There are quite a few people like that.

However, the league has become increasingly domineering in recent years.

Therefore, any Soul Master of Level 3 or above who is discovered by powerful members of the Alliance will be forced to join the Soul Master Guild and become a target of the Alliance's surveillance, etc.

Li Xin also knew that although the Upper World highly valued Soul Masters, and each Soul Master had a different status and position, they were also subject to many restrictions.

For those with talent who aspire to become stronger Soul Masters, the rules and regulations established by the Alliance severely limit their development.

However, the rules and regulations established by the alliance are a consensus worldwide.

Because nobody wants to see a level 7 Soul Master appear. A level 7 Soul Master can fight against dozens of Immortal Emperors at the same time. Just imagine how terrifying that existence is.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could overturn the entire laws of the upper world.

“It’s fine, even a fragment will do. First, tell me what tasks are available now, and how I need to earn spirit stones,” Zhang Lingfeng said with a smile.

He pretended to be nonchalant, as if he wasn't very interested in the Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method.

"If you wish, there are countless spirit stones waiting for you to mine in the Godhood Zone."

Li Xin smiled.

"it is good!"

Zhang Lingfeng accepted Li Xin's arrangement.

In the days that followed, Zhang Lingfeng spent a full month in the Godhood Zone, using his soul essence power to guide others to achieve breakthroughs.

In one month, he earned more than 300,000 spirit stones.

It seems that he also consumed a lot of soul energy. Every time he helped someone achieve a breakthrough and earned spirit stones, Zhang Lingfeng would rest for a while, claiming that he needed time to recover.

Li Xin had no doubts and arranged accommodation for Zhang Lingfeng in the Chengshen District.

After a month, Zhang Lingfeng felt he had enough spirit stones and it was time to buy a level four Soul Essence Cultivation Method.

Because it is an incomplete piece.

In the end, Zhang Lingfeng only spent 150,000 spirit stones to purchase the Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method.

And continue to live in the Shinigami district for another month.

After two months, I finally added the Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method to my panel.

Without Wang Ningzhi's magical assistance, Zhang Lingfeng's "lying down" points accumulated over the past two months totaled less than 10,000, ultimately reaching 378,000 points.

Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method: (1/100)

Knowing that the Wang family wanted to use their supernatural powers to deduce the real culprit who killed Wang Dalong, and that he would surely die if exposed, Zhang Lingfeng dared not hesitate for a moment.

He quickly added 378,000 points of "lying flat" value to the Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method in one go.

Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method: (37.8/100)

Soul element: 536.8
Zhang Lingfeng discovered that the Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method requires 10,000 "lying down" points to exchange for one value, and one value can be exchanged for a Soul Essence volume of 6.0.

Once the Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Technique is perfected, one's Soul Essence volume will exceed 900.0.
According to the Soul Essence Master's Soul Essence level classification.

A Soul Essence Volume exceeding 600.0 qualifies one as a Level 4 Soul Essence Master.

A Soul Essence Master is one whose Soul Essence exceeds 1200.0.

Based on this trend, perhaps one day in the future I will become a level 7 Soul Essence Master, provided that I obtain the corresponding Soul Essence cultivation method and acquire enough "lying down" points.

However, once the Soul Essence reaches level five, the Soul Essence will undergo a transformation. The gap between level five and level six is ​​like an insurmountable chasm, preventing countless level five Soul Essence Masters from undergoing this transformation.

The required lying-down value and the required soul essence at that time were definitely not something that could be achieved by simply doubling the value to reach the so-called 2400.0.

If it weren't for the "lying down value" bonus, Zhang Lingfeng knew he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today.

"Buzz!"

As his soul essence volume exceeded 500.0, although he had not yet become a level four soul essence master, he was already close to becoming one. Zhang Lingfeng felt fluctuations coming from his body.

And supernatural powers descended outside the area where gods were made.

The Wang family's supernatural ability to trace cause and effect has finally arrived.

If his soul essence had only been 310.0, this supernatural power of cause and effect tracking would have been able to lock onto his aura. Fortunately, he broke through in time.

The powerful member of the Wang family, who was controlling his supernatural powers, looked bewildered.

Initially, the causal investigation pointed towards the Godhood Zone, but when the supernatural causal abilities entered this zone, it was as if they had lost their target and could not find any causal relationship.

Just like the person who killed Wang Dalong wasn't in the Godhood Zone, it wasn't the Li family's doing.

Undeterred, he continued his investigation.

"Jade pendant!"

In addition, Zhang Lingfeng also discovered that the fluctuations on his body came from the jade pendant given to him by Wang Ningzhi. This jade pendant could save his life, but it also seemed to be able to kill him.

"In the end, the breakthrough was too fast, which aroused her suspicion."

Zhang Lingfeng thought to himself.

He discovered that the jade pendant was checking the changes in his strength.

He looked helpless.

Then it released its immortal essence.

The jade pendant sensed the fluctuations of immortal energy from a fourth-level Celestial Immortal.

Finally, he bid farewell to Li Xin, left the Godhood District and the Black Market, and returned to Wang Ningzhi's territory.

"He has broken through to the fourth level of the Celestial Immortal realm."

"Could it be that he spent the last two months in the Godhood Zone in order to break through his strength?"

Wang Ningzhi knew that there were Soul Masters in the Godhood Zone who could help cultivators achieve breakthroughs.

Not long after.

He sensed Zhang Lingfeng's aura fluctuations and entered the territory's range.

"Teacher Wang, I've made a breakthrough."

Zhang Lingfeng exclaimed in delight.

"Oh, how did you do that?"

Wang Ningzhi inquired.

"In the black market, within the Li family's Godhood Zone, I found a Soul Master. With some Soul Stones and his guidance and assistance, I successfully achieved a breakthrough."

I now possess the strength of a third-level Celestial Immortal.

Zhang Lingfeng said.

He deliberately said one level lower so that Wang Ningzhi could find a handle on his concealed strength.

In Wang Ningzhi's eyes, there was no difference between the fourth level of Heavenly Immortal and the third level of Heavenly Immortal.

Wang Ningzhi smiled slightly. Zhang Lingfeng's behavior dispelled all her doubts. Everyone has their own secrets, Zhang Lingfeng is one, and so is she.

The hidden layer of immortal essence is what Wang Ningzhi believes to be one of Zhang Lingfeng's secrets.

Having discovered a secret about Zhang Lingfeng, although it wasn't enough to control him, Wang Ningzhi felt she could see Zhang Lingfeng more clearly.

"very good!"

She encouraged him.

"I may have to go out on a mission soon, and I need you to come with me. The family will give me a reward, and I will also give you a reward."

The Way of Wang Ningzhi.

"Thank you, Teacher Wang. May I ask what the task and reward are?"

Zhang Lingfeng looked embarrassed and said, "I spent a lot of spirit stones to help me break through this time. I really need spirit stones now. I originally planned to find some time to enter the Monster Mountain Range to pick some immortal herbs and medicines to exchange for spirit stones, or take the initiative to accept a family mission."

"Inspecting the elemental stone mines in the Monster Mountain Range is not a dangerous mission, and you can obtain some elemental stones."

The Way of Wang Ningzhi.

"Oh, thank you, Teacher Wang."

Zhang Lingfeng was overjoyed, but also deeply surprised. It seemed that after Wang Ningzhi attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the Wang family's status in Zixiao City had undergone a subtle change. They could now share some of the benefits from the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Although the amount was small, it was of great significance to the entire Wang family. (End of Chapter)
