I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 319 Proportion is Important

"Tenth test of refining willpower, prepare to record."

Feng Xue held the two jade seals, his brows showing signs of fatigue. He had tried the plan to absorb the power of wishes for the tenth time, but the results were not very good.

The first attempt to directly absorb and refine the essence with a small dose failed without a doubt. When the willpower comes into contact with the soul, it will spontaneously generate a "shell," or, in ghost terms, a soul-like entity, which will envelop the soul.

This is naturally a good thing for spirits like ghosts and spirits that have lost their physical bodies. In fact, it can be said that the reason why spirits can maintain their consciousness and awareness is because they rely on the spiritual bodies forged by the power of their will.

In fact, if we have to be precise, primordial energy can be used to forge a ghost body. However, for living people, the physical body and primordial energy are synchronized. Therefore, the "ghost body" formed by primordial energy will directly merge with the flesh and blood, making the relationship between spirit and flesh more stable. The pinnacle of this path is the Yang God realm, which allows the Yang God to leave the body while the physical body remains immortal.

But willpower is different. Even though Ghidorah's willpower and Feng Xue's energy are very similar, they are only similar. Although in terms of composition, they may not be as significant as alcohol and gasoline, they can still be understood as gasoline of different grades.

The most obvious manifestation of this is that willpower is yin, while vital energy is yang.

Therefore, directly drawing upon the power of will can even lead to the terrifying consequence of disharmony between the spirit and the body.

After that, Feng Xue experimented with incorporating the power of will into the circulation of the body's vital energy. Although she successfully differentiated it into the power of will similar to the five elements of primordial energy, she still could not resolve the problem of the disharmony between the spirit and the body after it entered the sea of ​​consciousness.

However, this experiment also incidentally solved the problem of yin-yang balance in martial arts cultivation, which can be considered a moderate improvement.

What followed was a long process of mixing proportions, from 1 part Vitality to 9 parts Willpower, to 1 part Willpower to 9 parts Vitality, and 5 parts Willpower to 5 parts Vitality, etc., to find a relatively gentle ratio that could be absorbed without affecting the compatibility between the physical body and the spiritual body.

If too little vital energy is added, the disharmony between the spirit and the body will still occur, but if too much vital energy is added, the characteristics of the will power will not be manifested.

After ten minor adjustments, the ratio has now been refined to 73 Vital Energy: 27 Willpower. Although the body will no longer experience disharmony between spirit and flesh at this ratio, the effect of willpower is still not high.

Yes, it's not high, but we've already achieved some results.

That is, at this ratio, the extracted magic will possess a tiny bit of spirituality, very little. If it weren't for the fact that Bigeley's failed spell experiments hadn't been deleted from Little Bell's records, he wouldn't even have been able to observe this bit of spirituality.

However, after comparison, Feng Xue was certain that her magical power at this moment had already faintly touched the spiritual edge of Bigeley's magic.

He also tried to use this magic to release the original version of "Cute Bat Flying Crash," and the resulting little bats did indeed exhibit a state where they would die after a few flaps.

"Continue to refine it!"

In fact, when the proportions were accurate to double digits, Feng Xue's own soul could hardly control the precision. But Feng Xue wanted to know if there would be any improvement if she continued to refine the details.

Ultimately, rather than simply using a black box, he preferred to have a forward-looking goal to strive for and try to understand why he was doing it this way. However, considering that possession by a ghost might affect the state of the soul and body, at this level of precision, he could only quantify the proportions first, then store them separately in different jade seals, and then determine the specific effects by simultaneously absorbing and mixing them.

This also takes into account the potential losses during the sealing and extraction of the Yuan-gathering technique, which is the fundamental reason why Feng Xue was so exhausted after only a dozen or so experiments.

As vital energy and willpower flowed out of the jade seal, they mixed and surged into the sea of ​​consciousness. The ratio of 725 vital energy to 275 willpower was one step better than before. Although it was only a slight adjustment of about five per thousand, it made the spirituality of the magic power even more advanced.

"Detect the physical condition!" Feng Xue didn't specifically test the magical power status, but rather numbly gave the order to the little bell. This level of precision made it difficult to detect the erosion of the physical body from changes in lifespan, so she could only rely on the smart watch from the previous civilization that had body monitoring functions.

"No abnormalities in mental state, the degree of erosion is below the detection accuracy, and normal life activities will allow it to heal itself." The little bell's response relieved Feng Xue. Liu Yunxi, who was in charge of supplies, placed some simply seasoned fish cakes on the table and casually remarked:

"So, to break it down further, it's 7225:2775?"

"I don't recommend going any further down the line," Little Bell's virtual projection shook its head and said.

"Based on the current situation, a ratio of 72:28 is recommended."

"Huh? Won't this ratio cause the spirit and body to be incompatible?" As someone who had observed the entire experiment, Liu Yunxi was very puzzled. If this ratio was really going to be used, why did they continue to refine it before?
"Because the body can heal itself," Feng Xue explained casually. "I've already pushed the ratio to double digits to the limit. Any lower and it's hard to apply to actual cultivation. Besides, my daily cultivation time is limited. The rest of the time, whether it's for normal life or martial arts training and body tempering, will strengthen the integration of the spirit and the body."

"In other words, the damage caused by a little bit of excessive cultivation will heal itself. The reason for finding a relatively accurate value is to make a comparison after a period of cultivation. For example, after a week of cultivation, the proportions can be readjusted to see if the same value will still cause erosion."

"If it does, it means the body will not develop resistance due to long-term practice. In this case, the proportion of practice must be as precise as possible. If it does not, it means the body will gradually adapt to the erosion of the will. In this case, a proportion that is close to the critical point but slightly exceeds it can be used to gradually increase the body's tolerance."

“I see! But that makes it easy to exploit people…” Liu Yunxi said, but her eyes glanced at the Sue Kaguya statue next to her, and the words stuck in her mouth.

Let alone in the long run, the little bit of lifespan lost in the experiment just now can be made up in a few nights.

In fact, Feng Xue had also considered using the method of locking life to refine the power of will, but it didn't work. This was because locking life only guaranteed lifespan. In other words, even if the spirit and body were not compatible, as long as life was locked, his lifespan would not be reduced, and his soul would be firmly bound to his body by the power of the golden finger. But once the lock was broken, his body might directly expel his spirit.

Upon arriving before Kaguya, Feng Xue was bathed in her jade-like radiance. The power of immortality slowly seeped into his body, gradually increasing his lifespan.

"Aha……"

Letting out a big yawn, Feng Xue stretched vigorously and immediately said:

"Little Bell, incorporate this proportion into the Xuanwu Cantong Qi, leaving some room for correction. I'm going to sleep now..."
