Sharing the Universe from Douluo Continent

Chapter 143: Soul Wood (First update, please vote)
Back then, the gray-shirted old man was being hunted by the Thousand Bamboo Sect and had no choice but to join the Huangfeng Valley in order to save his life. Naturally, his true identity was no secret in the eyes of the top leaders of the Huangfeng Valley.

Although the Dayan Jue mastered by the gray-shirted old man is magical, it does not significantly enhance the combat effectiveness of the practitioner himself, and needs to be used in conjunction with puppetry.

In addition, the gray-shirted old man only mastered the first four levels of the Dayan Jue, which was an incomplete cultivation method and would not attract the interest of Jindan cultivators, so no one forced him to hand over the Dayan Jue to the sect.

If Dai Changsheng was really Li Huayuan's disciple, logically speaking he should not be interested in the Dayan Jue.

After all, the energy of a cultivator is limited. If he is distracted by practicing too many techniques, it is easy to end up with not having enough time to improve his cultivation, and ultimately not having enough lifespan to break through to the next level.

"Brother Lin, you may not know that the reason my master asked me to come here to learn the Great Evolution Technique is because my Yuan Shen is naturally stronger."

After Dai Changsheng finished speaking, he used his mental power to wrap the puppet parts in front of the gray-shirted old man and made it float.

"This is……"

Seeing this, the gray-shirted old man's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh: "What a huge spiritual power!"

Because the gray-shirted old man had already cultivated the Dayan Jue to the peak of the second level, his spiritual awareness was also very powerful, so he could naturally sense the mental power released by Dai Changsheng.

In the perception of the gray-shirted old man, the total amount of mental power released by Dai Changsheng is not even less than his own spiritual consciousness. However, his technique of using mental power is very crude, probably because he has not practiced spiritual consciousness techniques.

I never thought that there would be someone who was born with such powerful spiritual power.

The gray-shirted old man could understand why Li Huayuan asked Dai Changsheng to ask him for the cultivation methods of Dayan Jue and puppetry.

"Junior Brother Dai, I can teach you the Great Evolution Art and the Puppet Scripture, but you must also bring out treasures of equal value in exchange."

Although the gray-shirted old man was reluctant to pass on the Dayan Jue and the Puppet Sutra, he had to bow his head under the eaves!
Dai Changsheng had Li Huayuan's support behind him. He was an old man in gray who had taken refuge in Huangfeng Valley, so he had no room for refusal.

"Of course! I'm not so shameless as to take Brother Lin's things for nothing."

Dai Changsheng rolled up his sleeves, took off a black bracelet from his wrist, and used his mental power to send it to the gray-shirted old man. "I found this bracelet by accident. It is made of 700-year-old spiritual wood. How about using it as an exchange?"

"Alright! Junior Brother Dai is indeed a straightforward person. Deal!"

The old man in gray, who was originally somewhat reluctant, suddenly revealed an unconcealable smile when he saw the bracelet made of spiritual wood.

Although the Soul-Nourishing Wood is not as good as the legendary Soul-Nourishing Wood, it is one of the few special spiritual woods in the world of immortal cultivation. Just by wearing it on the body, it can slowly nourish the soul and strengthen the spiritual consciousness.

For other people, the value of the soul wood may not be too high.

After all, the soul wood needs to be worn for a long time to be useful, and the speed of strengthening spiritual consciousness is very slow, and that little spiritual consciousness cannot greatly increase the strength of the wearer.

But it was different for the old man in gray. He had already cultivated the Dayan Jue to the peak of the second level, but was affected by his soul talent and could not break through to the third level.

With the help of the soul-enriching wood, the gray-shirted old man's soul can be nourished, his spiritual consciousness can be strengthened, and he will be confident of breaking through to the third level of the Dayan Jue within ten years.

You have to know that the third level of the Great Evolution Art allows a practitioner to split hundreds of divine thoughts simultaneously, which means they can control hundreds of puppets at the same time, which can at least increase the gray-shirted old man's strength several times. Therefore, the gray-shirted old man's resentment instantly dissipated, and he hurriedly took out the jade slips containing the Great Evolution Art and the Puppet Sutra from his storage bag and handed them to Dai Changsheng.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin, for your help."

Dai Changsheng took the jade slip and looked through it carefully. After confirming that the content recorded in it was no different from the original plot he had read, he thanked the gray-shirted old man.

"Junior Brother Dai, you're too polite. I should be the one thanking you."

The gray-shirted old man smiled and waved his hand, then turned his attention to Han Li and the others. "Since you two are both disciples of Junior Brother Dai, then as your uncle, I will give each of you a greeting gift!"

Under the curious gazes of Han Li and the others, the gray-shirted old man first took out two storage bags of the same style from his arms, and then took out two fist-sized puppet figures.

"These two storage bags contain a yellow silk shirt, a green leaf magic weapon, a set of daily refining tools, and a Fiery Sun Sword and a Cold Moon Knife. These are the entry benefits that every disciple of the Yellow Maple Valley has."

The grey-shirted old man introduced in a slightly hoarse voice: "As for these two puppet archers, they are puppets refined by me personally. Their strength is comparable to that of a cultivator at the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage. They can be activated with spirit stones. I will give them to you as a gift!"

"Shh!"

Han Li and Zhang Tie's eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this.

A puppet like this, whose combat power is comparable to that of a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining, can be sold for at least hundreds of low-grade spirit stones on the market, enough to buy a high-level magic weapon.

However, Han Li and the others did not rush to take the puppet, but turned to look at Dai Changsheng inquiringly.

Han Li and his friends were no longer ignorant country children, so they naturally knew that the gray-shirted old man gave them such a valuable gift out of respect for Dai Changsheng.

"Since it's Senior Brother Lin's love, you should just accept it. Why don't you thank Uncle Master quickly?"

Dai Changsheng could naturally see that the old man in gray wanted to ease the relationship with him because he was pleased with the transaction, so he had no reason to refuse.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

Seeing that Dai Changsheng had spoken, Han Li and the others no longer had any concerns and happily took the storage bag and the puppet.

"Brother Lin, we'll take our leave now."

"Junior Brother Dai, please!"

After sending Dai Changsheng and the others away, the gray-shirted old man couldn't wait to put on the soul-enhancing wood bracelet and began to retreat to break through the third level of the Dayan Jue.

Dai Changsheng took Han Li and the others on a tour of Huangfeng Valley, letting them understand the general situation of Huangfeng Valley, and then took the two of them back to his own cave.

Because Dai Changsheng needed to switch to practicing the Qingyuan Sword Technique and also to practice the Dayan Technique as a supplement, he began to practice in seclusion not long after he brought Han Li and Zhang Tie back to the cave.
