Start from refining weapons in Doupo Xiuxian

Soulsmith chooses to retreat at this time

It must be for the purpose of breaking through to the Douluo Saint level!

With the other party's accumulation, it is highly likely that he will not go through the semi-saint stage, but will directly reach the one-star Dou Sheng in one step!

In the entire Douqi Continent, only the human race changed its cultivation system, lowered the difficulty, and added a semi-saint realm, while the Warcraft side directly upgraded from the eighth level to the ninth level without any hesitation. The reason is that the human race's cultivation system took advantage of the fast cultivation in the early stage, and needed to pay it back slowly in the later stage, so there appeared special realms such as Dou Zun Jiuzhuan and Semi-Saint.

"The reason why Master didn't break through for so long wasn't because of a lack of talent. His Soul Clan bloodline is no weaker than mine. I heard from my uncle that Master reached Dou Zun before anyone else in his generation, but was ultimately surpassed by my uncle, allowing him to surpass him and break through to Dou Sheng."

Hun Keer's face was extremely solemn, because she realized a very serious problem, that is, things seemed to be out of control.

The bottleneck that the Soul Craftsman encounters has always been his own inner doubts about the Ninth-Rank Refiner.

Outsiders' doubts were not wrong, because Soul Craftsman was not a true ninth-order weapon refiner. At most, he could only be considered a ninth-order weapon refiner who had reached the peak of perfection, just like a semi-saint.

Before the rise of the Soul Craftsman, there was only one promotion route for ninth-rank weapon refiners in this world, and that was the sacred weapon of the spirit race!

That perfect path to the Holy Artifact, pioneered by the first generation of the Spirit Clan leader, the Spirit Gourd Saint, ultimately led to that old monster's survival for tens of thousands of years! Using humans as artifacts, and artifacts as humans! It perfectly aligns with the roots of the Spirit Clan itself!

They themselves are transformed from tools into humans, and then from humans into tools. They are blessed with unique advantages and are unmatched!

Chapter 506 The weapon refining relay race that started from ancient times!

The Linghu Saint of the Ling Clan is the longest-lived of the eight ancient clans. The patriarchs of other clans have changed several times, but the Linghu Saint is the only one who has lived all the way from ancient times to the present!

It wasn't impossible for a Soulsmith to learn the Eldar's sacred weapon path and, through it, reach the realm of a ninth-rank weapon refiner. However, as a supreme master of the Horcrux school, how could he possibly abandon his own path to follow the Eldar's sacred weapon path?

Could it be that he learned the way of the sacred weapon of the Spirit Clan and came back to ascend the Soul Clan's Soul Emperor to heaven?

Even if Emperor Hun Tian agreed, Hun Jiang himself couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

How long had the Spirit Clan been on the path to the Holy Artifact? From ancient times until now, how many resources had they expended to finally reach their current state? The Soul Clan's arrival midway through the process had no effect other than to succumb to their shortcomings.

Moreover, the other spirit races pursue the path of holy artifacts because they are able to produce the best holy artifact embryos in the world. But why would you, a soul race, learn the path of holy artifacts? To capture the spirit race's holy sons and holy daughters with divine bloodlines? Just imagine if the spirit race would explode with you on the spot.

If the Spirit Clan really exploded, the Soul Clan would most likely be defeated. Don't think that the Spirit Clan's holy soldiers can't leave the Spirit Realm, so they are easy to bully. Look at the method the Spirit Clan will use to deal with the Stone Clan later. They directly activated a large-scale spatial spiritual formation in the void, and put the Spirit Realm on top of the Stone Realm!

The Soul Emperor was very powerful, and most Saint Soldiers were no match for him in a one-on-one duel, as few of those Saint Soldiers had reached the true Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm. However, the Spirit Gourd Saint Soldiers were themselves supremely powerful Nine-Star Dou Sheng peaks, their realm in the Spirit World having reached the ultimate Dou Sheng limit. Whoever came against them would be dead.

Previously, the spirit world gave people the illusion of being 'strongly defensive, but unable to actively attack', but who could have imagined that the spirit race's spatial attainments had enabled them to spatially overlap the spirit world with other smaller planes?!

Therefore, for the Soul Craftsman, advancing to the Ninth-Rank Refiner through the Path of Sacred Artifacts was completely ineffective. This was because he couldn't refine the Sacred Artifacts that would unleash the true power of a Ninth-Rank Refiner. At best, he could only borrow some Sacred Artifact knowledge to forcibly elevate his Eighth-Rank Soul Instruments to the Ninth-Rank, effectively forging four Soul Swords capable of rivaling those of a Semi-Saint.

This was already the limit. This was the maximum help the Way of the Sacred Artifact could provide to the Soul Craftsman. Because a true ninth-tier fighting weapon in the Way of the Sacred Artifact must be a Sacred Artifact. The Soul Craftsman's Soul Craft was currently only at the eighth tier, but it had been forcibly upgraded to the ninth tier by relying on the Sacred Artifact technique.

If a soul craftsman wants to forge a true ninth-level soul weapon that can rival a Douluo Saint, he must find his own unique way of crafting soul weapons.

Of course, I must have learned something. The Spirit Clan and the Soul Clan have always had a cooperative relationship, otherwise the Soul Craftsman would not have been able to refine the "half-step" ninth-level soul sword in Hun Ke'er's hand.

But at the same time, Soul Craftsman was stuck here. To the outside world, he seemed to be a ninth-level weapon refiner, but only Soul Craftsman himself knew that he was a ninth-level weapon refiner who could not refine a holy weapon.

Isn't it ridiculous that a sacred artifact master can't refine a sacred artifact?

What a soul craftsman really needs is to become a ninth-level soul weapon refiner.

The Soul Craftsman realm was stuck for a very long time, so long that Yao Chen grew up listening to the Soul Craftsman's stories and became his "peer".

'.Therefore, Master has opened up a second ninth-level weapon refining path, the soul weapon path.' Hun Ke'er looked at the soul jade slip in her hand, her eyes trembling slightly. This news was too shocking for her.

For ordinary people, the Soul Craftsman opened up the way of Horcruxes, and their feelings were just like a frog in a well looking at the bright moon. But in the heart of Hun Keer, who truly cultivated the way of Horcruxes and became the successor of the Soul Craftsman, she looked at the Soul Craftsman as a mayfly looking at the blue sky.

The soul craftsman has touched the realm of the spirit.

Only when one has touched the spiritual realm can the soul craftsman achieve enlightenment and break through in seclusion!

Whether it is the way of the holy weapon or the way of the soul weapon, the last step is a test of the perception of the spirit!

The Eldar use themselves as spirits and the sacred vessels as bodies! They are blessed by nature!

The soul craftsman puts the soul into the tool, endows it with soul and spirit, seizes the fortune of heaven and earth, and recreates the soul!

what does this mean?

This means that the Way of the Soul Weapon has the potential to be on par with the Way of the Sacred Weapon! It is the true Way of the Spirit Weapon!

"." Hun Ke'er gently tapped the "Soul Sutra" on her forehead, and instantly countless soul information appeared in Hun Ke'er's mind in the form of shining black and gold characters.

"Master, is this the world in your eyes?" After a long silence, Hun Ke'er slowly came back to her senses, her eyes lingering with shock for a long time.

The "Soul Art" left by the Soul Craftsman is a technique based on the Soul Clan's inherited technique "Soul Refining Art", which was improved by incorporating some special soul techniques to enable the soul to transcend.

For the weapon spirits within the Soul-Suppressing Sword, forcing them to practice the Soul Spirit Art and reaching a high level of cultivation would grant them true spirituality—in other words, allow them to develop their own spiritual intelligence! The only difference from the spiritual weapons of ancient times was that these weapon spirits could not achieve a leap in their own physical spiritual level; this required the weapon refiner to do so.

But

The sacred weapon of the spirit race is the weapon refiner + sacred weapon = spiritual weapon!

The soul weapon of the soul craftsman also achieved the goal of weapon refiner + soul weapon = spiritual weapon!

Even though the world changed drastically and the sky was at its limit, after tens of thousands of years, the weapon refiner once again completed the integration from the mysterious weapon to the spiritual weapon!

What the Eldar's way of the sacred weapon lacks is spirituality, and this is something that the Eldar themselves must make up for!

What the Soulcrafter's Horcrux lacks is the spiritual body, and this is something that the Soulcrafter must make up for!

“Who would have thought that the weapon refiners could still do it even without the help of heaven and earth, even without the blessing of heaven and earth. They patched and pieced together. In the end, it was really a satisfying relay race.” Hun Keer silently put away the space jade slip, and walked out of the hall with a heart that was difficult to calm down.

The emergence of "Soul Spirit Secret" means that Hun Ke'er can escape from the Soul Clan's ten thousand year plan.

Because the purest soul can practice the "Soul Sutra", it can make the soul gradually transcend, and eventually burn its own imprint and transcend the world. In simple terms, Hun Ke'er can abandon her physical body and become a new soul clan member who is not affected by the soul clan's Dao marks.

Then, by taking the elixir that can revive the dead, she will be able to become the last seed of the Soul Clan.

Hun Ke'er, who was about to leave Mo Palace, seemed to sense something and turned back subconsciously. She saw three flying swords emerging from the void and piercing her forehead directly.

Then, four sword marks appeared on Hun Ke'er's forehead in the shape of a round fan.

"Thank you, Master." Hun Ke'er bowed deeply in the direction of Mo Dian, then turned and left.

She is going to the Western Regions to see...

That innate soul.

Chapter 507: "Aura Theory": I'm cultivating immortality, you can do whatever you want

"I'll return the Transformation Pill to you. Can you please not hit me?"

Two weeks later, when Jiang Lin left Canaan Academy and took Yao Chen to a quiet place to prepare some high-level pills, a little girl with purple hair followed them timidly.

Yao Chen and Xiao Yan both looked at Jiang Lin with strange expressions, while Jiang Lin glared at Zi Yan, who was standing in the shade of a tree in the distance, timidly poking her head out. He thought to himself, why doesn't this guy look like the brute force king that the inner courtyard students talk about? Isn't she quite delicate and charming?

"Do I look like a violent person?" Jiang Lin asked irritably, as he pulled out the Qingxuan Cauldron from his stomach, poured in the herbs, and prepared to begin refining the medicine. After two weeks of research, Jiang Lin had almost mastered many of the high-level alchemy techniques taught by Yao Chen. He now invited Yao Chen to come and see the high-level cultivation pills he was preparing to refine.

As a result, the little girl named Zi Yan locked onto their location through Xiao Yan's breath and followed them quietly.

"Yes." Zi Yan's face was full of entanglement and distress, because during this period of time, a faint and strange fragrance would come from the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy from time to time. It was very strong at the beginning, but then it began to become smaller and weaker. If Zi Yan did not have the powerful talent of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, she might not be able to smell the fleeting fragrance of the elixir in the air at a distance.

Zi Yan understood that this spiritual master, whom Elder Su Qian had declared absolutely untouchable, possessed not only exceptional weapon-refining skills but also an unimaginably gifted talent in alchemy. Zi Yan's powerful perception allowed her to discern the spiritual master's cultivation elixirs as purest. They lacked any bells and whistles, simply increasing stats, and this was precisely what Zi Yan needed most.

In his recently compiled treatise, "Theory of Spiritual Energy," Jiang Lin offers a relatively systematic definition of spiritual particles. He names the purest spiritual particles, which can be absorbed by everyone, "Primordial Spiritual Energy." In Jiang Lin's view, Primordial Spiritual Energy is the most fundamental spiritual energy in the world, representing the initial state of both fighting spirit and soul force.

Beneath the primordial spiritual energy lies the "yang spiritual energy" and "yin spiritual energy." The former refers to the tangible and visible aspects of the universe, such as spiritual materials, spiritual medicines, and elixirs, all of which can be enhanced through yang spiritual energy. The latter, on the other hand, refers to the more illusory subjective and objective aspects of soul power. For example, the soul pills Jiang Lin refines are derived from sufficiently pure yin spiritual energy to enhance the soul without side effects.

Beneath the dual-state yin and yang spiritual energy lies a variety of 'secondary spiritual energy' with unique properties. The Dou Qi energy that permeates the universe, the Dou Qi within the cores of magical beasts, the energy within spiritual herbs and fruits—in Jiang Lin's eyes, all of these energies are called 'secondary spiritual energy,' and there's even a 'sub-secondary spiritual energy.' However, Jiang Lin didn't continue the divisions, because for him, the three levels of spiritual energy were sufficient.

Because Jiang Lin has the ability to raise the spiritual level of secondary spiritual energy, thus reaching the Yin-Yang state spiritual energy. Of course, Jiang Lin cannot achieve the theoretical primordial spiritual energy.

The closer the spiritual energy level is to the origin, the simpler the effect will be; the further away from the origin, the more complicated it will be.

Of course, after proposing the three realms of spiritual energy, Jiang Lin also added the magnitude of the different realms of spiritual energy, just like there is a star level before the realm of fighting spirit. For example, the elixir that Jiang Lin can refine can be called the fifth-level Yang-state elixir.

For a top-tier magical beast like Zi Yan, the higher the quality of spiritual energy, the more beneficial it is for her growth and evolution. Zi Yan prefers the highest-level spiritual elixirs over other fancy spiritual medicines, and Jiang Lin's spiritual elixirs are at a level unattainable by current alchemists. Essentially, an alchemist's cultivation elixir uses spiritual gathering methods and spiritual energy ratios to bring the spiritual level of secondary spiritual energy closer to that of Yin-Yang spiritual energy, allowing Dou Qi cultivators to more efficiently advance their realm.

In this regard, Jiang Lin has a unique advantage. The combination of divine spiritual fire and leak-free spiritual body directly turns Jiang Lin into a spiritual pressure cooker. Even if the ancestor of Danta comes, he probably can't compare with Jiang Lin in the purity of the spiritual pill.

From a certain perspective, when others were still cultivating fighting spirit, Jiang Lin's "Theory of Spiritual Qi" appeared in its initial form, basically announcing that he was going to start "cultivating immortals"

"Give it to you, go play somewhere else." After all, there was a half-ghost, a half-snake, and a ghost watching nearby, so Jiang Lin couldn't do anything to the 'one-beast' girl. So he raised his hand and waved his sleeves, and a crystal clear, natural elixir flew directly in front of Zi Yan, and was caught in the hand by the girl with excitement.

Hiss

At this moment, a colorful little snake quietly crawled out from Xiao Yan's sleeve and showed its pink snake tongue to Jiang Lin.

"I have them all." Jiang Lin didn't think much about it. He waved his hand and another elixir flew out. The colorful little snake swallowed it with satisfaction.

Jiang Lin had recently been studying Yao Chen's advanced alchemy techniques, particularly high-level cultivation pills like the Imperial Extreme Pill. As a result, he had refined a number of elixirs, and his technique had matured considerably. He would also take them to accelerate his cultivation, but they required higher-level elixirs for their effectiveness, so he usually just ate them like sunflower seeds.

And Jiang Lin is also doing another experiment recently.

"Here, you get a share too." Jiang Lin waved his sleeves again, and a flame afterimage instantly flew towards Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan subconsciously raised his hand to catch it with his condensed Dou Ling Dou Qi. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was actually a small square-shaped cauldron with fire patterns.

"Ah, this. Elder, it's probably not a good thing for you to give me this." Xiao Yan looked at the fire spirit furnace in his hand, his face twitched slightly, and he swallowed subconsciously.

He came from the Jia Ma Empire. Although "Young Lin" wanted to be a human being at the time and didn't open up the spirit furnace technology, Xiao Yan had come into contact with the experimental materials! And this technology was eventually written down in black and white in "Lin Qi Jian Shi"!

So they all gave me things that increased my cultivation, and then gave me things that consumed it? Xiao Yan looked at the Fire Pattern Spirit Furnace in his hand, a look of helplessness on his face.

"The cooperation between the Nine-One Qi Gathering Formation and the Spirit Furnace allows ordinary people to exchange their future for their realm, while at the same time allowing them to exchange their realm for spirit stones, depriving them of their future. Isn't this a bit too extreme?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.

Before the Nine-One Qi Gathering Formation came out, Xiao Yan was actually still able to accept the spirit furnace as a special fighting tool for production.

However, as soon as the Nine-One Qi Gathering Formation came out, Xiao Yan realized that the combination of these two things would cause the energy of the entire world to "idle".

Chapter 508: Charge the world a cultivation tax of 5!

Because Xiao Yan had read the "Explanation of the Unicorn Weapon", after all, that thing was placed in his storage ring at that time. He knew that the spirit stones refined by the spirit furnace might have a loss rate of more than 50% during the conversion between cultivators with different Dou Qi!

Jiang Lin hadn't quite understood the reason for this loss rate before, but when he began compiling the "Theory of Spiritual Qi," he realized it was due to the "incompatibility" of the secondary spiritual energy gathered by the spirit stones used by Dou Qi cultivators. In fact, it wasn't a loss rate at all, but rather a purification rate!

For example, if Jiang Lin condenses a spirit stone for Xiao Yan to use, then since Jiang Lin has purified this spirit stone to 100%, Xiao Yan can absorb it just by holding it. In combination with Xiao Yan's own ability to absorb the refined heaven and earth fighting spirit, Xiao Yan will then get double the training effect in the same amount of time.

If the spirit stone condensed by Jiang Lin is not of high purity, then Xiao Yan can only absorb part of it, and the rest will need to be absorbed and refined again, and the overall cultivation efficiency will not be very high.

In other words, Jiang Lin can now use the divine spiritual fire to refine ultra-pure high-energy spiritual stones.

Jiang Lin: Keep eating stones for me!

In other words, the spirit stone that Jiang Lin had previously thought was not very useful suddenly became extremely attractive after Jiang Lin nurtured the Divine Spirit Fire.

"Actually, I have an idea now. If we continue to lay the Nine-One Qi Gathering Array in the future, it will definitely not be free." Jiang Lin did not hear Xiao Yan's complaints, but explained to Xiao Yan why he wanted to throw a fire spirit furnace to the other party for fun.

"The Spirit Stone system is actually quite mature. One standard Spirit Stone can accelerate the cultivation speed of a cultivator of the corresponding realm by 50% within a month." Jiang Lin had established this standard in the Jia Ma Empire. For example, taking Xiao Yan, a one-star Dou Ling, as an example, excluding various cultivation bonuses, a fourth-tier low-level Fire Spirit Stone can increase Xiao Yan's base cultivation speed by 50% within a month. Using a fourth-tier mid-level Fire Spirit Stone would increase his cultivation speed by around 90%, and a fourth-tier high-level Fire Spirit Stone would increase it by around 120%.
