The Great Wild God - Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Soul Pursuing Seal
Chen Xun left and went to Shi Ling to find an open place to sit cross-legged.

At this moment, he remembered that he had seized the Soul Pursuing Seal from Chen Chuan for nearly a month, and before he had time to refine it, he immediately took out the Soul Pursuing Seal from the Void Origin Pearl.

Qing Ying Ying’s little jade was only the size of an egg, but what made Chen Xun curious was,

When he seized this seal from Chen Chuan at that time, the Soul Chasing Seal was dim and devoid of light. However, at this moment, there was no light overflowing in all directions, as if he was absorbing enough spiritual energy from the Void Origin Pearl.

The Void Origin Pearl was a storage magical artifact. However, it was unknown where the rich Spiritual Qi in the Void Origin Pearl came from. Chen Xunxun searched through the available information.

The most likely explanation was that the spiritual energy was formed from the medicinal pills that had been stored in it.

If a medicinal pill could not be stored properly, the spiritual energy would dissipate and the medicinal power would gradually weaken.

It was unknown how many years had passed since the Void Origin Pearl was successfully refined. It was not difficult to understand why the pills that its owner had stored earlier had turned into pure spiritual energy hundreds or even thousands of years later.

This could explain why the Void Origin Pearl was empty.

It wasn’t that there was nothing left, but that the pills had turned into the spiritual energy in the Void Origin Pearl.

However, Chen Xun was only able to channel his mind into the Void Origin Pearl. First, he was unable to detect how pure and dense the spiritual energy in the pearl was. Second, he was unable to absorb the spiritual energy from the pearl for his own use.

Chen Xun hung the Soul Pursuing Seal in front of his chest, wondering if he would be soaked by the Spiritual Qi in the Void Origin Pearl without having to bottle it.

Chen Xun thought of something and started experimenting quickly. He immediately took out a small bronze bottle, opened the cork of the bottle, poured out two True Yang Origin Cultivation Pills, and directly absorbed them into the Void Origin Pearl.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two True Yang Pills entered the Void Origin Pearl, they quickly melted and transformed into a strand of medicinal energy that merged into the Void Origin Spirit Qi.

Chen Xun was so angry that he spat out blood. Fortunately, he didn’t use the Nine Elements Orifice Nurturing Pill as an experiment. If the Nine Elements Orifice Nurturing Pill were to melt into the Void Elemental Spiritual Qi, he wouldn’t even have time to wipe his nose and cry.

The divine soul aura Chen Chuan had attached to the Soul Pursuing Seal was truly not strong. Chen Xun released his spiritual sense and bit by bit refined it. In just half a night, the Soul Pursuing Seal was cleaned to the point that it was even more innocent than a newborn fetus.

Washing away Chen Chuan’s divine soul aura and refining it with water again would be simple.

However, the simpler the Soul Pursuing Seal was, the more extraordinary the Void Origin Pearl was.

Chen Xun guessed that the Spiritual Qi in the pearl might not be as simple as it was formed from medicinal pills.

However, his mind was still unable to carefully examine the four walls of the Void Origin Space, and he did not know how to channel out the Spiritual Qi in the pearl for his own use. He could only use the Void Origin Pearl as a storage magical artifact.

After successfully refining the Soul Pursuing Seal, Chen Xun injected his Qi, Blood, Divine Radiance, and Spiritual Sense into it. However, he felt that his Spiritual Sense had instantly expanded by several folds, and he didn’t intentionally use it. All the auras within two to three thousand meters were within his senses.

Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nan Xi had already fallen asleep in the thatched cottage, and their blood vitality was weak, as if they were human-shaped fire shadows, completely within Chen Xun’s grasp.

Zong Ya needless to say, Zong Ling and Nan Xi had just advanced to the sixth level of the Barbarian realm, but their blood vitality and divine souls were much more vigorous than ordinary mid-level Barbarian realms.

In the past year, the black python had 16 enlightened savage souls. It was unimaginable in the past. Its qi, blood, and soul were both extremely vigorous. On a quiet night, Chen Xun used his spiritual sense to sense the movements inside and outside the stone stronghold, as if he was looking at the stars in the night sky.

Compared to before, even though Daoist Greenwood was only a few hundred meters away from him, his aura and mountain scenery fused with the vegetation after he entered silence.

Even with the help of the Soul Chasing Seal, if Chen Xun hadn’t known that Daoist Greenwood was sitting at the foot of the cliff, he would have missed out on his spiritual sense search. He thought to himself,

Even if they were both at the peak of the True Yang Realm, the difference in cultivation levels between different people was enormous. In the end, it was still their comprehension of the Dao of Cultivation. Perhaps Daoist Greenwood could be called the number one person in the True Yang Realm.

Grandpa was completely focused on his cultivation, and his aura was extremely vigorous. It was like the bright moon in the night sky, moving quietly with Daoist Cyanwood. It was bright and dark, and it was interesting to see each other.

Daoist Greenwood also sensed Chen Xun’s Spiritual Sense search. He opened his eyes in surprise and looked up at the cliff.

Chen Xun retracted his thoughts and awkwardly raised the Soul Chasing Seal in his hand to show that he hadn’t intentionally probed Daoist Greenwood’s cultivation.

******************

Without interfering with Daoist Greenwood’s cultivation, Chen Xun took the Soul Pursuing Seal and walked thirty to forty kilometers into the mountains. He found a cliff and carefully thought about the wondrous uses of the seal.

The Soul Pursuing Seal also had a corresponding magic formula. Chen Xun would not be able to display the maximum power of the Soul Pursuing Seal for the time being.

Even so, Chen Xun could sense the faint aura twenty miles away at the farthest, and the Soul Chasing Seal had actually more than doubled his spiritual sense.

Chen Xun had already guessed that some of the Meng brothers were extremely skilled in tracking techniques, but he hadn’t expected that it was actually a miraculous use of the Soul Chasing Seal.

What a sharp weapon to rob a family. How could an ordinary rogue cultivator expect to be followed by someone twenty to thirty kilometers away?

Chen Xun thought to himself. Apart from the fact that the Soul Chasing Seal was useful for exploring the enemy’s situation, if he wanted to explore the aura around the mountain range for twenty kilometers, he needed to continuously infuse the Soul Chasing Seal with qi, blood, divine brilliance, and spiritual sense. This also meant that he didn’t need to prepare any other magical artifacts to cultivate spiritual power.

Thinking of this, Chen Xun took out a True Yang Origin Cultivation Pill and consumed it. The medicinal power transformed into a hundred bones’ blood vitality, and he sat down cross-legged to observe the Nine Nether Barbarian Soul Form.

A trace of Spiritual Energy floated outside the Barbarian Soul Form, moving endlessly above the Soul Sea.

After Qi and blood flowed steadily through the Barbarian Soul Phase, the weak Spiritual Energy condensed into the Barbarian Soul Phase and merged into one.

At this moment, the Barbarian Soul Form did not seem to have strengthened, but it gave off a trace of a spirit aura.

Chen Xun no longer cared about how his body fused with Spiritual Energy. Instead, he focused on activating the Soul Pursuing Seal and sensed the aura of the wind blowing through the forest.

The aura of birds and beasts in the vicinity was as strong as fire, and the hair of plants and vegetation actually had an extremely weak spiritual aura, causing Chen Xun to be endlessly surprised.

It seemed that the plants and vegetation had grown for a thousand years, and it was not an illusory legend that could produce strange things.

After an unknown amount of time, the True Yang Origin Cultivation Pill’s medicinal power was exhausted. Chen Xun restrained his mind and realized that he had underestimated the miraculous use of the Soul Pursuing Seal.

Not only could it be used to scout out the enemy’s situation and fuse with spiritual energy, it could also sense an indescribable enlightenment in the hearts of mountain birds and forest beasts overnight, and it was abundant in his chest and abdomen.

After stopping to observe, the Barbarian Soul Formation scattered into countless fragments of divine splendor, scattering into a hundred bones, strengthening one’s qi and blood. The gossamer-like Spiritual Energy was also like a bird, moving freely above the sea of souls.

Even though it was very weak, Chen Xun could still feel that his Spiritual Energy had increased significantly after a night of cultivation.

Chen Xun thought to himself, this was because the Spiritual Energy he had refined earlier was too weak. That was why the effect was more obvious. In fact, less than one hundred percent of the Spiritual Energy that he had consumed in one night had truly fused with so much Qi, Blood, Divine Radiance, and Spiritual Sense to form Spiritual Energy.

Using this method to cultivate spiritual energy was still too primitive, too crude, and too inefficient. However, it was already sufficient for him, who was only at the late True Yang Realm.

The trace of Spiritual Energy he cultivated at this moment was enough to break through to the seventh level of Blood Transformation, but Chen Xun wasn’t in a hurry to enter the Marrow Cleansing Stage.

After accumulating enough Spiritual Energy, Chen Xun still wanted to temper the muscles, bones, skin, and flesh around his body once more, and he would definitely be able to break through to a new peak.

To a martial artist, the physical body was the foundation.

The Soul Sea Alien Phase formed from the six-armed Giant Demon Blood in his body was exceptionally powerful.

In the future, he would have to condense this drop of demonic blood from his soul sea and merge it into his bloodline before he could advance to the Reincarnation Realm.

Chen Xun didn’t know how far his physical body would need to cultivate to withstand this drop of demonic blood. He only knew that his physical body wasn’t strong enough, so he forcefully condensed the demonic blood to break through. The only result was his physical body collapsing.

This was a physical tribulation.

Barbarian martial artists usually encountered the problem of physical tribulation when they advanced to the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm. Chen Xun thought to himself that his True Yang Realm was going to face physical tribulation. He didn’t know whether he should be proud of himself or laugh bitterly.

********************

When Chen Xun returned to Shi Ling, he saw Zhao Tu personally deliver the food.

Late-stage True Yang Realm cultivators were able to consume pills to ward off valleys, but the flesh and blood of desolate beasts that were filled with life essence were no less effective than low-level spirit pills. After consuming them, they could save pills and satisfy the appetite of their mouths. They were both beautiful.

Yesterday, Zhao Tu thought for a night, wanting to run around and report to Chen Xun about buying a shop in Tianma Lake Stronghold City.

Chen Xun didn’t have the heart to take care of ordinary affairs, so he had Zhao Tu discuss everything with Nan Liao and the others.

If he wanted to learn the Spirit Gathering Origin Formation, he would first have to learn the art of drawing talismans from Daoist Greenwood. He would have to get Zhao Tu to Tianma Lake Stronghold City to help him complete all the materials.

“Finished talisman paper, talisman pen is too expensive. The leftover leftovers from armor-making beast hides, as well as the casing, neck, velvet, tail, and the like, were not very eye-catching. As many as one wanted, they would buy back as many as they wanted. With another rhinoceros horn, we can make our own talisman paper and talisman brush. “Forget cinnabar. There is a type of ink pill rock in the Tai Gui Mountain that can condense profound energy. Its effect is slightly inferior to that of high-grade cinnabar. It’s barely enough. You can directly knock one back …”

Daoist Greenwood reported the dozens of ingredients he needed to Zhao Tu one by one. He smiled and said to Chen Xun,

“Drawing talisman artifacts requires careful calculation. It is best to be familiar with the nature of talisman paper and ink. Only then can you draw it properly …”

Nan Liao knew that these stray materials were all required for Chen Xun to learn how to draw talismans from Daoist Greenwood, so he immediately sent someone to escort Zhao Tu back to Tianma Lake Stronghold City.

To refine the Spirit Gathering Formation, he needed six low-level profound symbols, including the three that Chen Xun had mastered, namely, Dust Opening, Water Purifying, and Wind Controlling. The other three low-level profound symbols weren’t difficult to master either.

Daoist Greenwood had all the profound talismans and magic arts in his hands. Chen Xun only needed two days to comprehend them, and he was able to carve out the six profound talismans one by one in his soul sea.

This was the foundation of drawing tools.

Ge Yi once said that the secret armor of the third level Diamond Profound Symbols had to be refined by experts of the middle stage of the embryonic realm. Daoist Greenwood was only a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Azure Yang Realm and could refine up to six levels of profound symbols. If the Su Clan knew about this, what would they think in their hearts?

Daoist Greenwood explained the main points of drawing talismans to Chen Xun.

Zhao Tu, who had worked in the Immortal Retention House for nearly 20 years, had also become the shopkeeper. In just a few days, he had replaced all the ingredients that Daoist Greenwood needed. If it weren’t for Zhao Tu running errands, Nan Liao, Zong Sang, and the others who didn’t know anything about drawing talismans, they would have been able to gather dozens of materials every year.

Using rhinoceros horn and cyan-purple rabbit hair, one could make the simplest talisman brush.

The ink pill stones were ground into powder and dripped with a little clear spring water, then refined into pill ink that could condense spiritual energy.

The talisman paper was cut into a thin layer using the leftover beast hide leftover from the armor making process. Although it was somewhat uneven, it could barely be used.

After studying with Daoist Azurewood for more than ten days, Chen Xun remembered the main points of drawing talismans that Daoist Azurewood had mentioned, and began to try to draw them.

Although the other talisman makers were familiar with the profound talisman patterns before starting to draw them, However, Chen Xun didn’t need to take this step. He directly condensed a pure water profound talisman in his soul sea with his blood vitality and divine brilliance, injecting his spiritual sense into it, so that it wouldn’t be extinguished in his soul sea. Even as he was writing, his spiritual sense poured into the drop of pill ink that hadn’t fallen yet, and he drew the profound talisman with the talisman paper, Dragon and Snake.

As he swam his essay, his Spiritual Sense leaked out like water. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth instantly gathered at the tip of his pen and condensed into the runes …

“Grandpa Greenwood, drawing patterns isn’t as difficult as you say. You should teach us how to learn talismans, right?” When Zong Ya saw Chen Xun’s brush strokes, he was about to draw a profound talisman in the blink of an eye, and he couldn’t help but think of a learning talisman.

Chen Xun’s mind called Zong Ya’s question, and his pen paused for a moment. The spiritual energy that he had condensed earlier turned into a turbulent flow, and with a loud “boom”, the animal hide talisman paper was shattered into powder and dispersed by the wind.

Zong Ya was shocked, he didn’t know how this could happen.

Chen Xun, on the other hand, had thoroughly comprehended the main points of Talisman Making.

To draw a profound talisman, apart from having a strong enough spiritual sense, one had to be able to write without any hesitation. Otherwise, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that had been condensed earlier would be reversed.

The Purified Water Profound Symbols were limited in the amount of spiritual energy they could condense. Some powerful profound symbols had a sliver of error when they were drawn. The backlash was extremely powerful. They needed to be suppressed and channeled with other magic tools. Otherwise, it would be common for talisman makers to die or be injured.

As for Chen Xun, he was able to first condense a profound talisman in his soul sea, and then completely follow his heart and mind. He didn’t have to worry that his brush would draw the slightest bit wrongly.

Chen Xun casually took another talisman paper. This time, he abandoned the interference and drew the Water Purification Profound Talisman with a single thought. He showed it to Daoist Greenwood, “Senior, is this talisman drawn well?”

However, Daoist Azurewood was stunned for a while before he regained his senses. Before he drove Zong Ya away, he instructed him, “Don’t tell anyone about this matter!”
