Chapter 242 Picking up the Bell in the Tower
"The Soul-Nursing Heart Sutra, a soul-refining heart method, is unfortunately incomplete. What a pity!"
In the Sutra Pavilion of Nourishing Soul Temple, Li Qing put down another jade slip with great regret, the word "physical pain" was almost written on his face.
He has already read through more than half of the jade slips currently stored in the attic. Many of them are inheritance related to the soul, but unfortunately they are all incomplete.
However, it can be seen from this point that Yanghun Guan has really studied the soul to the extreme. If it can be completely inherited, it will definitely be able to improve one's spiritual consciousness to an exaggerated level.
It is a pity that tens of thousands of years have passed by, and these inheritances have been buried in the dust of history. This is not only a loss for Li Qing, but also a loss for the entire world of immortality.
Li Qing, who searched all the way, certainly gained nothing.
For example, some inheritance related to the skills of cultivating immortals. Even if these things are incomplete, they still have a certain value.
Along the way, he gained a inheritance related to the art of alchemy. Although it was incomplete, if it were sold outside, many immortal cultivators would be interested.
The alchemy techniques and experiences recorded in it are of high reference value.
Finally, after Li Qing looked through all the jade slips on the dusty iron shelf, he gained three additional jade slips that recorded the inheritance of incomplete skills.
One is related to prohibition. Some of the prohibition methods recorded above are the unique secret methods of Yanghun Guan tens of thousands of years ago and are not known to outsiders.
For example, the previous attack and kill restrictions on the main peak that could harm the consciousness made Li Qing very envious.
The other one is the weapon refining inheritance that Li Qing desires most. As a force with several foundation-building monks in charge, it is natural that the weapon refining inheritance is indispensable in the Nourishing Soul Temple.
Although it is also a incomplete weapon refining inheritance, the strange spiritual patterns preserved in it surprised and delighted Li Qing. This is also something unique in the Nourishing Soul View.
The last jade slip turned out to be a complete secret law inheritance, without any defects!
"The spirit-containing method of treasure weapons can catch demon spirits and create ignorant weapon spirits in magical weapons that are full of spirituality. The magical weapons must be at least the highest grade!"
Li Qing couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this record of the secret technique of refining weapons. He thought, has the study of spiritual bodies in Yanghun Guan reached such an exaggerated level? !
However, after reading the basic introduction, Li Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The success rate of this secret method is very low, even to a very scary level. Dozens of demon spirits may not be able to succeed even once.
Moreover, failure will directly lead to the damage of the spiritual patterns in the magic weapon, the loss of spirituality, and the complete annihilation of the demon spirit.
Unless the magic weapon is of extremely high grade and contains abundant spirituality, the success rate will be improved.
"The price of this failure is really unbelievable. I really don't know what the person who created this secret method was thinking." Li Qing smiled bitterly, and then remembered this secret method in his mind.
It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
Think of it as increasing your own knowledge.
It's not that Li Qing doesn't want to try, it's that the cost is too expensive and he still can't refine the best magic weapon.
Even if we don’t talk about the preciousness of the best magic weapon, the demon spirit is also an extremely precious thing. If a demon beast wants to give birth to a demon spirit, it must at least reach the level of a second-level demon beast, which is equivalent to the strength of the foundation-building stage!
"But if it succeeds, it is indeed an incredible method. Once a top-quality magic weapon generates its own weapon spirit, it can follow orders and fight independently, and it does not require the master's mana to be used."
Li Qing murmured, and then took the jade slip into his arms.
Although it is not used yet, he always feels that this thing will play a greater role as his strength increases.
"I heard that the higher the grade of the magic weapon, the more mana it consumes to activate it."
"If one day I can reach the elixir-forming stage and have the ability to refine my own magic weapon, I can try to get a magic weapon with a weapon spirit."
It is even conceivable that a magic weapon has its own weapon spirit. Wouldn't it be able to exert additional combat power during the pill formation stage? !
"Huh! The world is so big, and it is full of wonders. The world of immortality is indeed vast and vast. The more you understand, the more insignificant you will feel."
At this time, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh, thinking that after so many years of development in the world of immortality, more magical secrets would surely be born.
After all, there is no shortage of amazingly talented people in the world, and outstanding people emerge one after another, creating such a wonderful world of immortality today.
For example, if the person who developed the Foundation Establishment Pill had not been there, many cultivators would have had their paths cut off at the Foundation Establishment barrier.
After looking through all the jade slips, Li Qing walked around the Scripture Collection Pavilion again, not even missing a blind spot, and searched all over.
In the end, he actually found another handbook, which actually recorded some important events in Nourishing Soul Temple.
"It turns out that the origin of the Nourishing Soul Temple is even more mysterious. It actually originated from an even older Immortal Sect. I'm afraid it's impossible to find out now."
Li Qing murmured to himself while flipping through the end of the note.
Finally, it is recorded that Yanghun Guan decided to use all the power of Guan Guan to build an octagonal stone tower.
The specific reason for its construction is not stated above, but it is assumed to be the towering octagonal stone tower at the end of the backyard.
"It's gone here. It seems that after Yanghun Temple built this stone tower, some kind of sudden change occurred, causing all the people in the temple to disappear."
Li Qing frowned, feeling that he might have found a key clue, and everything pointed to the stone tower in the backyard.
"It's time to go take a look at that stone tower. What is the purpose of this stone tower that was built for no apparent reason?"
After finishing his words, Li Qing walked out of the Scripture Collection Pavilion and looked at the majestic octagonal stone tower.
The material of the octagonal tower in the backyard is not made of pure stone. Its overall frame is made of spiritual gold, and the quality is quite solid.
However, it has been tens of thousands of years since it was built, and the spirituality contained in the spiritual gold above has completely collapsed and turned into spiritual material waste.
Li Qing came to the bottom of the Octagonal Tower and touched the solid surface of the tower with his hand.
"The tower has a total of nine floors, and each floor has faint traces of intertwined Dao patterns. Are you planning to refine this tower into a magic weapon?"
Li Qing's tone was full of disbelief. He couldn't imagine how powerful such a huge tower would be if it were really built.
Withdrawing his palm, he came to the door of the first floor of the tower. The stone door was tightly closed, making it impossible to enter.
After observing for a while and confirming that the entire octagonal stone tower had no power, Li Qing finally decided to force his way inside.
Tapping the storage bag, a giant hammer made of ink gold appeared in Li Qing's hand.
Holding this unparalleled hammer, Li Qing's spiritual power surged, and then stimulated his own blood.
boom!
The unparalleled hammer suddenly hit the closed stone door. With just one hammer blow, the entire stone door was shattered into pieces.
When the dust after the stone gate shattered dissipated, all the scenes in the first floor of the stone tower were revealed.
The scene inside was different from the solemn and solemn one imagined. Instead, it was a bit chilling. Even Li Qing, who was holding the Peerless Hammer, was stunned on the spot, unable to speak to himself for a long time.
Inside, there were eight eerie white bones!
The scene is extremely shocking. If you are a little timid, you will probably be scared to death by this scene.
Each of these eight white bones sat in a corner of the tower, with a chain made of spiritual gold tied around their necks, which was derived from every corner of the stone tower.
"The ancient people of Nourishing Soul Temple built such a stone tower to imprison prisoners?"
Soon, Li Qing discovered something was wrong. This stone tower built with the power of everyone was not holding prisoners!
He found an identity token of the Nourishing Soul Temple on the relic of a withered bone. Everyone must be a monk in the Nourishing Soul Temple!
After confirming this fact, Li Qing couldn't help but feel palpitations again.
What on earth are you doing? After spending so much effort building a stone tower, is it just to tie yourself up here and wait for death?
"There shouldn't be eight bones on each floor, right?" Li Qing smiled bitterly, and then climbed up to the second floor.
As expected, there were eight white bones on this floor, and their necks were also bound by eight spiritual gold chains.
Such a strange sight is really chilling.
Li Qing climbed up to the eighth floor of the tower one after another, and finally noticed something strange.
On this level, there are only seven white bones, one of which is a spiritual gold chain hanging on the tower wall.
"There is one person missing. Could it be that the jade pendant used to open the hidden realm was brought out by this person?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qing felt that maybe this was really the case. Otherwise, everyone would die in the stone tower, and the jade pendant that opened the secret realm would not be able to escape to the outside world.
"I really don't know what these monks in the Ancient Soul Cultivation Temple are thinking about, but they are all bound here, even turning into bones and refusing to leave."
After exploring the eight-story tower in a row, Li Qing sighed and looked at the stairs of the ninth-floor tower.
What can be expected is that the entire octagonal stone tower has buried all the monks in the Soul-nurturing Temple. If the soul-nurturing bell is not seen on the last floor, it may be difficult to find this inherited secret treasure.
Thinking of this, Li Qing stepped up and continued climbing.
In a few breaths, the scene in the ninth floor of the tower suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The area here is much smaller than that on the first floor, and the eight dead bones are almost stuck together.
The eight spiritual gold chains are no longer connected to every corner of the tower body, but are all gathered towards the top of the tower.
At the top of the tower, a dull bronze bell hung in the center of eight spiritual gold chains!
This bell looked very simple and plain, but it stirred up a thousand waves in Li Qing's heart!
If nothing unexpected happens, this bell is the most valuable soul-nurturing bell in the entire secret realm!
"It's like a weird ritual. The eight withered bones on the top of the tower are obviously high-level members of the ancient soul-nurturing temple."
"What on earth are they doing, sacrificing their lives to the bell? Did they succeed or fail, and what did they get?"
Unfortunately, no one can answer his question.
Li Qing continued to move forward, and inevitably touched several bones in the process. However, once he touched them, these bones were all shattered into powder.
The soul-nurturing bell was so close that Li Qing naturally didn't care about these things. He slowly stretched out his hand and held the bell in his hand.
Ring ring ring~
The bell made a crisp tremor. Just such a pleasant sound made Li Qing feel relaxed and happy, as if his soul had been baptized.
Needless to say, this plain-looking bell is definitely a soul-nourishing bell.
Immediately, Li Qing took out the Dragon Dagger and cut off the eight spiritual gold chains that blocked the bell.
The secret treasure soul-nourishing bell finally fell into Li Qing's hands!
