Chapter 329 Soul Devouring
The reason why Song Qingming was suddenly transferred to the front line was that the battle between the two sides in Qingniuling not long ago caused some sparks, which made the front line, which had been calm for a while, tense again. Tianhai League and Lingyin Sect began to quickly dispatch troops here in the past few days. Song Qingming accidentally ran to the front line this time, and it happened that he was temporarily out of the mission by the superiors, so they simply kept him there.
Half a year later, on a deserted hillside on the front line of Fengguyuan, a giant python covered with brown spots slowly crawled out from under a rock protruding from the ground, ready to start a day of hunting.
But when it had just crawled away from its nest in the ground for more than ten steps, a blue wolf-shaped monster suddenly jumped down from a tall tree on the side, directly pressed it under its huge claws, and bit the giant python's neck fiercely, making it unable to move on the ground.
The suddenly appearing green wolf had just subdued the unlucky giant python, and a young man in a green robe slowly walked over not far away.
After the green-robed man approached the giant python's body, he took out a golden round bowl from his waist with his left hand, then made a strange gesture in the air with his right hand and began to chant a spell.
After a while, the man stopped chanting, and a faint white light began to emanate from his right hand. The white light became brighter and brighter, and began to feel a little dazzling.
When the white light in his hand gathered to a certain extent, it suddenly turned into a white line and went straight to the giant python's body, and the green wolf monster on the side also acted quickly, biting off the neck of the giant python under his feet, killing this poor monster whose fate had already been determined.
With the irradiation of the white light, a light green ball of light, the size of a thumb, suddenly appeared on the body of the giant python that had just died.
When the green-robed man saw the small light ball appear, he was delighted and threw the golden round bowl that he had already held in his left hand towards the green light ball, carefully controlling the bowl to slowly approach the object.
As soon as it approached the green light ball, several golden rays of light immediately shot out from the golden round bowl, which rolled up the green light ball and quickly sucked the strange light ball into it, and then returned to the green-robed man's hand.
"Senior Feng He, do you think the spirit of this monster can be used?" The green-robed man took back the golden round bowl, looked at the green light ball inside, and suddenly began to talk to himself in front of him, where no one was.
After a while, another somewhat old voice suddenly sounded from him: "This strength of monster spirits can almost make do. Your current soul is still too weak. You can only start practicing by absorbing these low-level monster spirits. When you practice to the second level of Soul Devouring Technique, you can go to find some more powerful souls.
This technique cannot be too hasty, it can only be practiced step by step. It took me almost ten years to practice to the second level of Soul Devouring Technique. With your aptitude, it will probably be slower. Fortunately, this technique is not very difficult. As long as you have patience and spend more time, you can practice to a high level with poor aptitude."
Hearing the other party's voice of approval, the green-robed man also breathed a sigh of relief. Why did he find a suitable monster spirit during this period? He has been looking for it for half a month, and today he finally got something.
This green-robed man is Song Qingming, who has been on the front line of Fengguyuan for more than half a year. The reason why he has been looking for a suitable monster spirit is actually to practice the soul technique "Soul Devouring Technique" given to him by Feng He.
This set of skills is better than the Soul Forging Technique that Song Qingming practiced before, and it can at least be practiced to the Golden Core Realm. After obtaining this set of skills, Song Qingming quickly decided to put aside the practice of the Soul Forging Technique and switch to this set of skills.
The method of improving the soul in the Soul Devouring Technique is mainly to capture the souls of some monsters with lower intelligence, and use them to devour and refine them to achieve the purpose of strengthening one's own soul. This is a skill that requires patience to practice.
Moreover, the monster spirits that need to be devoured in the early stage cannot be too strong, and it is also very troublesome to collect them, because these low-level monster spirits are too fragile. If the soul-collecting technique you perform is not well controlled, it is easy to make this fragile soul dissipate between heaven and earth. Song Qingming tried more than a dozen times in a row, either the spell failed, or the collected soul was too powerful. It was not easy to find a qualified monster spirit today.
At the beginning, the Soul Devouring Technique can only devour and refine the souls of spiritual creatures with low spiritual intelligence. The progress of the early stage is much slower than that of the Soul Forging Technique. However, after practicing to the second level, as the souls that can be devoured become stronger and stronger, the speed of practice will slowly increase. In the end, as long as there is a sufficient supply of souls, the speed will be stronger than other soul techniques.
However, there is a taboo in this technique, that is, it is absolutely not allowed to devour the souls of similar human cultivators. Although this can speed up the progress of practice, once it is out of control, it is easy to cause the souls of cultivators to affect their own spiritual intelligence, and eventually make the cultivator a crazy person with abnormal spiritual intelligence.
After putting away the golden round bowl in his hand, Song Qingming waved to the blue giant wolf beside him. The blue giant wolf emitted a burst of spiritual light, and then jumped directly into the air and turned into a three-inch blue puppet and fell into Song Qingming's hands.
This puppet beast, named Chifeng Beast, is a second-level low-grade puppet beast known for its speed.
In order to get this item, Song Qingming not only spent all the merits accumulated in the past year, but also took the initiative to extend his time at the Fengguyuan front for two months, and then exchanged it from the Lingyin Sect's Good Merit Pavilion.
During the six months at the Fengguyuan front, Song Qingming also experienced many dangerous battles at the beginning. It was in these battles that Song Qingming hunted and killed many enemy monks, and finally gathered merits on the battlefield that could be exchanged for a second-level puppet beast.
Since Song Qingming was left at the Fengguyuan front, Lingyin Sect has been fighting with Tianhai League on and off, and the two sides also have a tacit understanding on the battlefield. Today, the Jindan monks fight each other, and tomorrow the foundation-building monks and the Qi-refining monks fight each other.
Anyway, everyone abides by the fair rules of the battlefield and will never send high-level monks to the battlefield of low-level monks to slaughter the opponent's low-level monks.
After fighting for several months, neither side gained any advantage and gradually calmed down. The number of battles gradually decreased. The Jindan-stage cultivators of both sides suffered no losses, only a few were injured, but the lower-level cultivators of the foundation-building and Qi-refining stages suffered heavy casualties.
The only strange thing was that Song Qingming had been on the battlefield for so long and had never seen any Yuanying-stage cultivators from either side.
