Chapter 170 Extraordinary Spiritual Seed
"Extraordinary spiritual seed?"

At this moment, Yue Hanzhang tilted his head to look at Tian Shouli's expression, which seemed to be saying, "Damn it, I have already mastered the Nine Palaces and Seven Stars and I am only one level away from reaching the realm of transcendental Taoism, but how many things are there that I don't know?"
Receiving the golden seal is the foundation for a cultivator to master extraordinary Taoist techniques.

Yue Hanzhang had seen the raw materials that made up this thing, the extraordinary organs of monsters, and had even traded them personally.

Even the refining of the golden seal, Yue Hanzhang had seen Qin Linhui demonstrate it on the spot.

Yue Hanzhang was no longer unfamiliar with the golden seal of ordination.

But it was the first time that Yue Hanzhang heard of extraordinary spiritual species.

And the smile that flashed across Tian Shouli's face at this moment seemed to be saying, "There are things you don't understand, kid."

This kind of satisfaction of being a top monster facing the limit of cognition is only fleeting.

Soon, Tian Shouli explained to Yue Hanzhang what the extraordinary spiritual seeds were.

“The composition of extraordinary spirit species is very complex, I have only briefly explained their origins.

If you can understand that the birth of extraordinary organs in the body of a monster is the "smudge" of extraordinary power on its flesh and blood.

Then perhaps when the 'fade' of this extraordinary power is further precipitated and accumulated, either the time will be longer or the realm will be more powerful.

Then this kind of 'blurring' will cause a certain 'activation state' to appear on the monster.

This kind of activation may be the ability of the monster, monster fire, poisonous smoke, wind blade, etc...

It could also be the sharp nails of the blade claws, the sharp keratin on the forehead, or even the tailbone like a whip, etc...

As you can probably imagine, this activation, at least on the outside, will give these abilities and body parts more and more powerful supernatural powers.

What is even more commendable is that if a monster dies, its body will naturally rot and the activity of its extraordinary organs will quickly be lost.

But once it is activated, even if the monster dies, the source of its extraordinary abilities, those fire, smoke, wind, and even nails, cuticle, and certain bones, will exist for a long time.

It exists in the world in a fully active state for a long time, and will even naturally absorb and accumulate extraordinary energy between heaven and earth.

They are like a seed, originating from a complete life, but with their own source of vitality, able to take root and sprout elsewhere.

This is why they are called extraordinary spiritual species.

Of course, at least 90% of the extraordinary spiritual seeds on the market are the activation of these extraordinary abilities and body parts.

There are only very rare exceptions, when these extraordinary spiritual species are accidentally shattered in the wilderness of nature, but are unable to completely dissipate due to geographical constraints.

This activated state may 'contaminate' the surroundings, perhaps with some kind of stone, mineral or wood.

If one is lucky, these external objects may be activated enough to become extraordinary spirits, possessing certain extraordinary abilities and being able to absorb and accumulate extraordinary energy.

This special kind of extraordinary spirit is very rare, and ordinary people have little use for it, but it is often snatched up by monks from the sect of sects. "

After hearing Tian Shouli talk about the source of the extraordinary spiritual seeds, Yue Hanzhang nodded frequently.

His thoughts even became more profound and divergent because of Tian Shouli's explanation.

“So after refining this extraordinary spirit seed, the extraordinary power possessed by the Taoist monks will also become stronger?
Or even possess some unique characteristics beyond the extraordinary abilities themselves?
Including the effect of the spirit seed absorbing and exhaling the extraordinary energy between heaven and earth, will it also bless the efficiency of Taoist practice?"

I was delighted to hear Yue Hanzhang's sharp thoughts.

Tian Shouli smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! For example, if you are a transcendent Taoist monk who masters fire, after you refine the first golden seal, during the refining process of the next five golden seals, you can take extraordinary spirit seeds of fire to refine together with the golden seals.

Your fire abilities are enhanced and have activated properties such as being toxic, corrosive, super-heated, or even capable of burning the mind.

In addition, once you refine the extraordinary spirit seed, it means that in addition to your practice of breathing, you will have an extra "breath" on your path, practicing for you at every moment and accumulating extraordinary energy.

What limits the cultivators of all laws is the attribute categories that you have mastered. You cannot refine spiritual seeds other than your own extraordinary attributes. I probably don't need to explain this to you.

What restricts the various types of monks is the bloodline of the transformed monster beasts. Those spiritual species with horny bones are best to belong to the same type of monster beast as the monk's transformed form.

In this regard, the restrictions on the various monks are a little greater. To put it bluntly, whether or not they can revive extraordinary spirit species depends on how powerful the monster itself is.

If the transformed monsters of some monks of the various signs are of the weak type, he may not be able to come across an extraordinary spirit species in his entire life of practice, and he will not be able to find the source of the supply even if he saves up money.

Of course, top predators and dragons do not have such troubles. Not only can they strengthen their transformed bodies, they can also strengthen their own extraordinary abilities like the monks of all laws.

As for the cultivators of the Spirit Controlling School, to be honest, they generally do not have much demand for extraordinary spirit seeds. After all, with an army of spirit-controlling monsters, too few spirit seeds are useless, and too many would be a horrific waste.

No one plays like this except the really rich.

As for the cultivators of the Zongqi sect, their sect is very strange. They either choose some spiritual seeds of the refining material type to integrate into the instrument embryo, or choose normal spiritual seeds to refine the extraordinary abilities that will eventually be imprinted into the instrument embryo.

You cannot have both. If you choose the organ embryo, you cannot choose extraordinary abilities, as if there is an irreconcilable conflict in the underlying structure of the two.

Of course, generally speaking, the monks of the sect of weapon-building still focus on strengthening weapon embryos."

Tian Shouli fully explained how the extraordinary spiritual seeds were used among the cultivators of the four major schools.

Finally, he spoke to Yue Hanzhang in a very serious tone.

“To be honest, extraordinary spirit seeds are not a common resource for most cultivators. They are something that only the true nobles and geniuses can afford.

This thing is very expensive, very expensive, far exceeding the value of the golden seal for receiving the ordination certificate.

Let me put it this way, in the huge Qizhou, only the Tian and Jiang families have the qualifications and channels to operate extraordinary spiritual seeds. Even in this regard, the Tian family is a latecomer.

And you must not be dazzled by the various advantages of the extraordinary spirit seeds. This thing cannot be refined under normal circumstances. It can only be refined together with the golden seal when you have mastered extraordinary abilities.

The golden seal made from the extraordinary organs of a demon beast, the ferocious aura contained in it is enough to impact the body and spirit of the cultivator during the refining process.

It's not like you haven't seen those poor people who have been turned to evil.

What’s more, these are extraordinary spiritual species whose strength is far superior to extraordinary organs?
Every time of refining, whether it is the golden seal or the spirit seed, it is a process of mastering more extraordinary powers while also constantly precipitating the risk of evil in the body.

The more accumulated, the higher the possibility of becoming evil, and this is true even for the top geniuses and evildoers.

On the path of cultivation, it is not advisable to seek strength blindly, and the right thing to do is to seek a long-term path. "No wonder Tian Shouli "advised" Yue Hanzhang in this way.

The Nine Palaces and Seven Stars martial arts were all independently created.

This is indeed very powerful and evil.

But it also exposed a fact, that is, Yue Hanzhang's "greed" in the path of cultivation can be described as extreme greed.

This greed for perfection may be supported by talent for a while, but what about over time? What about when you reach the extraordinary realm?
I’m afraid it may not all be a good thing.

Tian Shouli was really afraid that Yue Hanzhang would be greedy and create some big news again.

At this moment, Yue Hanzhang was still unaware of Tian Shouli's concerns.

He just kept everything Tian Shouli said in his mind and soon had a clear understanding.

The golden seal of ordination is the "skill book with upper limit +6", while the extraordinary spirit seed is the buff added to the skills.

Although Tian Shouli did not elaborate on the explanation.

However, Yue Hanzhang could also guess that these extraordinary spirit species also had a "formula" for matching with each other.

If the combination is coordinated, without considering financial resources and the risk of evil transformation, cultivators can refine more extraordinary spirit seeds.

But once the coordinated rhythm and beauty are lost, the conflicts between these extraordinary spirit species will at best increase the risk of evil transformation, and at worst may even destroy the extraordinary path.

Just think about it, the orderly combination of the extraordinary abilities brought by the golden seal has extended so many extraordinary paths.

How to combine extraordinary abilities has almost become a major subject of the Taoist Alliance.

I think the same is true for more powerful and rare spiritual species. It is a more obscure and advanced subject.

The combination of effective spirit seeds and golden seals will be even more powerful.

The combination of invalid spirit seeds and golden seals would be self-contradictory, self-destructive, and self-severing.

I don’t know whether there is also in-depth research in this aspect in the tradition of the predecessors of Tiandu Taoist Temple.

really.

Tian Shouli's concerns are justified.

Now that he merely knew this concept, all kinds of "greedy thoughts" about refining spirit seeds have emerged one after another.

It seems like there will never be a rest, and there will never be satisfaction.

So, even with a certain sense of anticipation, Yue Hanzhang slowly opened the safe placed next to the copper basin.

It was as if Yue Hanzhang's physical characteristics had already been recorded.

The breathing light turns on quietly between flickering.

Wrapped in some special material that looked like a sponge, there was a purple gold jade seal the size of a walnut. At first glance, it was no different from the one that Qin Linhui had refined before.

But if you look closely, the seal button seems to be carved with the shadow of a crawling tiger or leopard.

On the other side, in a diamond-shaped amber solidified from demon blood, a flame that looked paler and more poisonous than the ordinary lunar fire was being frozen and solidified while burning fiercely.

In just a moment, Yue Hanzhang thought of the shadowy tiger and leopard that Jiang Lingxiu had transformed into, and the Taiyin Moon Fire that she was controlling.

OK OK.

Jiang Ziran, Uncle Jiang, my buddy almost got hurt in the ring, you know how to give compensation.

And it was at this moment.

It was as if a blessing had come to my mind.

Yue Hanzhang passed by the group of extraordinary spiritual seeds without looking at them.

Instead, he reached out and picked up the walnut-sized golden seal for receiving the ordination.

Yue Hanzhang moved quickly.

On the spot, Tian Shouli opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

Yue Hanzhang had already held the miniature seal in his palm.

It was hard for him to imagine how the extraordinary organs of those monsters were finally melted and aggregated into such a thing.

On the cold jade-like material, the seal is engraved with extremely complex Taoist patterns.

And it was at the moment when he touched the jade seal.

It was as if the ferocious demonic fire was a thousand times more violent than the one he had experienced when he had come into contact with the demon blood potion that day. In an instant, it rushed towards Yue Hanzhang's spiritual world like a torrent.

But almost at the same time.

The sound of a mechanical roar was moving towards the quiet world.

The moment the mechanized mind penetrated Yue Hanzhang's mind.

At this moment, all the ferocious demonic flames seemed to be dissolved by an invisible barrier.

It was as if an invisible sunlight hole was shining on the visible ice and snow, melting all existence.

Of course, this was the first time that Yue Hanzhang faced the ferocious storm. The electricity stored in his mechanical brain was being consumed violently as his mechanized mind was maintained.

Is this the turmoil in the spiritual world that one has to face when refining the golden seal?

Does this mean that I can take my talent to the extraordinary realm?
“Very interesting.”
