Chapter 322: Refining the Soul

While Mu Lin was making up his mind, Si Ye was still telling Mu Lin the origin of the Northern Wilderness's power.

"Cultivation in advance and the taboo entering the body will make many people die and go crazy, but some people will survive and coexist with the power of the taboo."

"This is not an easy thing. The terrifying taboo power will erode the monk's body and soul all the time, and he will never be able to get rid of it."

"Every day they live is like living in purgatory, tortured by thousands of cuts. If they are not careful, they will die completely and be swallowed by the power of taboo."

"However, this kind of symbiosis can also enable them to drive the power of taboos. Every person like this is extremely dangerous."

…

Cultivation in advance and the symbiosis of taboo power, such a genius of the Northern Wilderness is like being born with an organ that can transform into an ordinary person.

Therefore, it is normal for them to be strong... The weaker ones were all swallowed up by the power of the taboo.

And Mu Lin also understood the reason why they practiced in advance. The Northern Wilderness was dangerous and chaotic, and evil spirits were everywhere. Under such circumstances, if you practiced in advance, you might die, but if you didn't practice in advance, you would definitely die.

If Mu Lin was in such an environment, he would also start practicing in advance.

"What are you going to do about this Northern Wilderness invasion?"

When Mu Lin shook his head and sighed about the danger in the Northern Wilderness, Si Ye asked Mu Lin what he thought.

And she also took the initiative to remind: "Mu Lin, you can't hide. You are a genius in the southeast region. You are considered a strong man. In a few days, Yuzhou will launch a counterattack. If the war doesn't go well, King Liang will still be there." There are wealthy families in Yuzhou who will definitely ask you to take action."

These words made Mu Lin frown, relying on his true feelings, he was unwilling to take action.

He also believed that Beihuang was right to ask for wages. They had suffered too much blood and could not suffer material injustice.

However, most of the people he was friendly with were in the Southeast Region, and he also received some benefits from powerful families.

If they come to invite them and Mu Lin refuses directly, it will look a bit bad, unless he changes his family and goes directly to Beihuang.

"Wait, it seems I can really go."

Of course, what Mu Lin wants to go to is not his true body. It is too dangerous there. Even if his true body is killed as a substitute and reborn with blood, he is likely to be killed by high-ranking forces.

But the main body cannot go there, but his clones, especially the City God clone, can go.

"When these talented people from the North leave, you can send a few paper man clones over to see the specific situation in Northern Xinjiang."

While thinking about this, Mu Lin also made a decision regarding this battle between the Northern and Southern Prodigies.

Don't take the initiative and don't refuse.

He will not take the initiative to challenge Beihuang Tianjiao, but if Beihuang Tianjiao challenges him, he will not refuse.

"I hope they don't mess with me."

As soon as Mu Lin decided not to take the initiative, Si Ye understood that he was leaning towards Beihuang.

This is actually not a wise choice. If you only care about profits, it is best for Mu Lin who hangs out in the Southeast Prefecture to advance and retreat with the powerful families in the Southeast Prefecture.

This is also the so-called ‘harmony of light and dust’.

If Mu Lin was just an ordinary genius and made such an 'irrational' decision, Si Ye would definitely persuade or even reprimand Mu Lin to change his mind at this time.

But he is not an ordinary genius, but a peerless monster. As a 'future heavenly master', he is qualified to be willful.

Chu Lingluo's mother, Si Ye, also admitted that Mu Lin had the qualifications to be willful.

Therefore, she did not persuade, but followed Mu Lin's words and said: "If you don't want to conflict with the talents of Beihuang, Mu Lin, your best way is to release the news about the breakthrough in seclusion... There is a bright future. For the reasons on the surface, others can’t point out anything.”

"Also, no matter whether you want to compete with the Northern Wilderness Tianjiao or not, you cannot slow down the improvement of your own strength."

Mu Lin: "I know. I'm ready to refine the Aurora Qi given by King Liang. I'll refine it now."

Mu Lin has always been sober and understands that the world is actually very dark - the cannibalistic feudal society is the most accurate evaluation of this era.

The reason why he has gone smoothly along the way is not because of his good luck, but because of his outstanding talent, promising future, and Dongfangya's protection, which makes others look kindly on him.

However, the kindness of others has always had a prerequisite, that is, his improvement in strength cannot be slowed down.

Once it slows down, although it will not immediately encounter a fatal crisis, the situation where there are good people everywhere will not fall on Mu Lin.

Calculation, contempt, plotting, use...these things that are just a matter of course will follow one after another.

Not wanting to fall to this point, Mu Lin could only improve his strength.

Si Ye also wanted to see Mu Lin's strength improve.

Therefore, after Mu Lin said that she wanted to refine the Aurora Gang Qi immediately, she immediately left the room and came outside the small courtyard where Mu Lin lived.

However, standing outside, she did not leave completely. Instead, she kept looking at Mu Lin's courtyard at the door like a stone.

At the same time, while watching, her face still showed some nervousness, some apprehension, and...a lot of expectations,

This special expression caught the attention of Dongfang Ya and Master Mengrui.

"What are you doing? Why don't you go in?"

Si Ye: "You can't go in now, you can't disturb Mu Lin... He is practicing the Gang Qi to enter the soul."

"Lian Gang, what's so good about this..." When she first heard about Lian Gang entering the soul, Dongfang Ya didn't care. She had also experienced the step of Lian Gang Qi entering the soul, and she stayed on the Ning Gang realm for nine Months long.

In those days, she had been refining the energy into her body every day, so she didn't think there was anything to pay attention to.

However, before she finished speaking, she thought of the fact that it was Mu Lin who was refining the energy at this time, and Mu Lin had refined the evil spirit into his body within the time of an incense stick...

"Do you think Mu Lin can refine the energy into his soul in a short time, so you are waiting for him."

Hearing this, Si Ye had no time to answer, and Master Meng Rui next to him smiled and asked back:

"Do you think he can't do it?"

"Uh... Although I think refining the energy involves the soul, it is more difficult and more dangerous than refining the evil spirit. His substitute paper man may only be able to transfer the injuries of the physical body and cannot continuously transfer the scars of the soul... However, although there are many reasons, these reasons are reasonable in terms of general rationality."

"But, my speculation is reasonable, but Mu Lin is unreasonable. He is a demon, and he doesn't play by the rules at all. So, I think he can refine the energy into his soul in one day and one night."

Master Meng Rui: "I bet one afternoon."

This made Dongfang Ya raise her eyebrows: "You are so confident, the energy is much more difficult than the evil spirit."

Master Meng Rui: "I know, that's why I bet one afternoon, not one hour... What about you, Si Ye, how long do you think it will take Mu Lin to condense the energy?"

"I guess one..."

"Creaky!"

Before Si Ye finished speaking, a creaky sound and the sound of the door being pushed open sounded in front of them.

Then, the three women who were betting and guessing found that Mu Lin... came out.

At this time, there was only:

"Si Ye, how long have you been standing outside?"

Hearing the voice transmission in her ear, Chu Lingluo's mother Si Ye did not answer for a long time.

After a long while, when Dongfang Ya and Master Meng Rui turned around to look back without waiting for a reply, Si Ye said in a daze, "Now, it's just time for a cup of tea!"
