Chapter 497: Rapid Increase in Cultivation

Shi Bo was shocked to find that the water above him suddenly turned bloody, and Song Wen's figure suddenly appeared.

Song Wen used the "Concentrated Thorn" again.

The sharp blade of spiritual consciousness pierced into Shi Bo's mind without any hindrance. His spiritual consciousness was damaged, Shi Bo's speed dropped sharply, and his control over the bronze mirror also weakened a lot.

A cold light flashed!

The Broken Void Blade took the opportunity to slash out and slashed at the bronze mirror above Shi Bo's head.

The bronze mirror was knocked away by the Broken Void Blade.

Song Wen approached, and his mummy-like sharp hand directly pierced into Shi Bo's chest.

"You..."

Shi Bo's eyes widened, and his body gradually lost its vitality.

Song Wen pressed his other hand on Shi Bo's head.

Soul Search Technique!

To Song Wen's disappointment, the Soul Search Technique failed.

His spiritual consciousness strength was the same as Shi Bo's. They were both in the late Jindan stage, so it was normal for the Soul Search Technique to fail.

Song Wen directly devoured Shi Bo's soul, and then began to devour his essence and blood.

As the blood essence flowed in, a surge of mana poured into Song Wen's body.

Song Wen was delighted and hurriedly practiced the "Corpse King Reincarnation Secret" to absorb this mana.

The external mana was quickly assimilated and merged into the Dantian, and Song Wen's breath rose accordingly.

Suddenly, the golden elixir in the Dantian shone with golden light.

The bottleneck of the early stage of the golden elixir collapsed, and Song Wen's cultivation broke through to the middle stage of the golden elixir.

The mana in Shi Bo's body was quickly sucked dry.

After Song Wen released his spiritual consciousness to sense the situation over there with the ghost shadow Gu, he took out Shi Zhong's body.

Yu Jiao's soul was severely damaged under the attack of the spiritual consciousness blade, and was surrounded by five ghost shadow Gu, with no possibility of escape.

Song Wen was worried that the mana in Shi Zhong's body would be lost, so he decided to seize the time and absorb his mana first, and then deal with Yu Jiao.

In order to save time, Song Wen did not search Shi Zhong's soul, but directly devoured his blood essence and soul.

As the mana in Shi Zhong's body poured in, Song Wen's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds again.

Gradually, Song Wen felt a tingling pain in his meridians, as if they were about to explode. His cultivation level surged too fast, and it seemed that it was beyond the body's tolerance limit.

Song Wen gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and continued to devour the mana in Shi Zhong's body.

Fortunately, after Shi Bo's mana was devoured, there was no sign of damage in his meridians. At this time, Song Wen's cultivation level was not far from the late Jindan stage.

Song Wen estimated that if there was another late Jindan cultivator for him to devour, he should be able to break through to the late Jindan stage.

After collecting the bodies of Shi Bo and Shi Zhong, Song Wen came to the deep sea.

Yu Jiao was already covered in wounds. If Song Wen had not ordered the Shadow Gu to kill her, she would have died long ago.

Seeing Song Wen coming, she hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Ji Yin, spare my life, I can serve you as my master."

Song Wen shook his head, "I dare not accept a Jindan elder from Wuji Island as my maid. Answer me a question and I will give you a quick death."

He stared at Yu Jiao and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you three chasing me?"

Yu Jiao's face was ashen, "Since you want to kill me, don't expect me to answer your questions."

"You don't know what's good for you, then I can only make you suffer."

The Guiyuan evil spirit surged out of Song Wen's body, like a ribbon, tightly wrapped around Yu Jiao, making her unable to move.

In Yu Jiao's horrified eyes, a ghost shadow Gu crawled into her mouth.

"Ah..."

Yu Jiao let out a series of shrill cries.

The ghost shadow Gu was gnawing at her organs.

The heart-gnawing pain made Yu Jiao feel like dying.

"I said! Stop it quickly. I want to get the Guiyuan evil spirit from you."

"How do you know I have the Guiyuan evil spirit?" Song Wen asked after making the ghost shadow Gu stop.

"I have practiced a pupil technique called 'Baoguang Lingmu'. All spiritual creatures in the world have unique spiritual fluctuations, and Baoguang Lingmu can see this spiritual fluctuation. With this, I can peek at the Guiyuan evil spirit on you." Yu Jiao said.

Song Wen looked a little surprised, "Is this 'Baoguang Lingmu' really so magical? I hide the Guiyuan evil spirit in my body, and you can see it?"

Yu Jiao said, "Baoguang Lingmu has some perspective, but it is not as magical as you think. The main reason why I can see that you have Guiyuan evil spirit is that the amount of Guiyuan evil spirit in your body is huge and has not been completely refined, causing this fluctuation to overflow, and Baoguang Lingmu can detect it."

After hearing this, Song Wen suddenly realized that Baoguang Lingmu might be effective in searching for colorful gold on the seabed, and then his interest increased greatly.

"Do you have the method to practice this pupil technique?"

Yu Jiao said, "Yes, it's in my storage ring."

"Thank you!"

Song Wen's figure turned into a residual shadow, and he rushed to Yu Jiao, put his right hand on her head, and began to perform the "Soul Search Technique".

After a while, the soul search ended.

From her memory, Song Wen learned that what Yu Jiao said was true.

According to the previous promise, Song Wen gave her a quick death.

When swallowing Yu Jiao's blood, Song Wen found that he did not swallow any mana.

Yu Jiao was not practicing the "Corpse King Blood Refining Technique".

After collecting Yu Jiao's body, Song Wen came to the place where the Ghost King and the Silver Corpse were fighting.

Since Shi Bo and Shi Zhong died one after another, their corpse puppets lost control and stopped, and were captured by the Ghost King and the Silver Corpse.

After collecting the four, Song Wen sneaked thousands of miles in the deep sea before he emerged from the water.

A fire burned the bodies of the three people to ashes and sprinkled them into the sea. Then Song Wen went to Jiyin Island.

When Jiyin Island was in sight, Song Wen suddenly stopped.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to return to Jiyin Island for the time being.

Song Wen didn't know whether Yu Jiao and the other two had told others about the ambush on him. To be safe, he decided to observe for a while before returning to Jiyin Island.

Changing direction, Song Wen came to an uninhabited island hundreds of miles away.

A small cave was dug on the underwater rock of the island as a temporary cave.

Taking out the storage rings of Yu Jiao and the other two, Song Wen began to count the gains.

In Yu Jiao's storage ring, Song Wen found a green jade slip, which recorded the practice method of "Baoguang Lingmu".

The key to practicing this pupil technique is to refine the eyes of a monster called "Abyss Sea Butterfly" and integrate them into one's own eyes.

In addition, the storage rings of the three people contained more than 100 top-grade spirit stones, six Xuanyin stones, ten Yinming stones, and fifty evil crystals; as well as seven magic weapons, namely three low-grade flying swords, a medium-grade soul flag, a low-grade bronze mirror, and two low-grade corpse coffins.

This soul flag belonged to Yu Jiao. It was originally used to seal the ghost king in the middle stage of the third level. There were a lot of ghosts in it, which was just right for the ghost king to improve his cultivation.

The two corpse coffins were used by Shi Bo and Shi Zhong to raise corpses.

Song Wen was in need of a magic weapon-level corpse coffin, so he planned to keep two of them for his own use.

As for the other magic weapons, he packed them all in an empty storage ring, intending to sell them after the storm passed.

Song Wen used the cold fire of the underworld corpse to refine the two corpse puppets again, changing their appearance and aura.

In addition to these treasures, Song Wen also obtained the jade slips of the three people's experience in alchemy, which was also a valuable item.

After counting the three storage rings, Song Wen began to practice hard in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation.
