Chapter 362 Mission 034
Soul crystal is a special energy condensed crystal born in the secret realm formed by the soul space of the fallen soldier soul master. It can strengthen the soul and speed up the cultivation speed. It is divided into top-grade, upper-grade, middle-grade and lower-grade, and is very rare.
The quality of soul crystal is also related to the secret realm where it is produced. For example, the soul crystal produced in the Wuzu secret realm is far superior to the soul crystal produced in other secret realms.
The middle-grade soul crystal sent by Qi Bi'an is of high quality and has no market outside. For a fifth- or sixth-grade soldier soul master, it can be used for cultivation for several months. Using soul crystals to cultivate can speed up the speed by about ten times.
Xiao Ying looked at the middle-grade soul crystal in the brocade box, and then accepted it without hesitation.
Before, the Sword God and the Blade Demon had also given him soul crystals to thank him. He had two top-grade soul crystals, but he should not miss any benefits. When facing a sugar-coated bullet, you have to eat the sugar coating and shoot the bullet back.
Qi Bi'an was relieved when he saw Xiao Yan accept the gift, and hinted to him that it would be best to cripple the Wan Jian Liu if he could, so as to prevent Wan Jian Liu from making a comeback.
Xiao Yan showed a soft hand, and nodded with a smile to Qi Bi'an's request, saying things like "I'll try my best".
Qi Bi'an left, and Xiao Yan looked at the middle-grade soul crystal he left behind, and found that the quality of the middle-grade soul crystal was far from the purity of the top-grade soul crystal, and there were many impurities. He thought about it, and finally closed the brocade box, and then took the middle-grade soul crystal to find Li Xingzhuo.
Li Xingzhuo now lives on the mountain next to him. Xiao Ying soon came to Li Xingzhuo and gave him the soul crystal sent by Qi Bi'an: "This is a middle-grade soul crystal that the Qi family used to win me over. It will be very helpful for your cultivation. Take it and use it!"
Li Xingzhuo was still feeling depressed and uncomfortable because he was kicked out before, but after a while, Xiao Ying took the initiative to deliver it to his door, and brought a gift. His words were full of concern for him, and he immediately felt warm in his heart.
Xiao Ying looked at Li Xingzhuo's silly smile and impatiently stuffed the brocade box into his hand: "Use it up as soon as possible. I hope to see you become a fifth-grade soldier soul master in two months."
Li Xingzhuo is still at the peak of the third-grade soldier soul master. In fact, there are some hidden dangers in using middle-grade soul crystals at this level, because the energy in the middle-grade soul crystals is too much for him, which will quickly promote the growth of his cultivation. Relying on external forces to practice too quickly will lead to an unstable foundation for cultivation.
Soul crystals in this world are very precious. Even the top sects and families are reluctant to give medium-grade soul crystals to soldiers and soul masters below the fifth grade, so few people know this.
Xiao Ying has a broad vision, of course he knows this, but this is exactly the purpose of his giving soul crystals to Li Xingzhuo.
If Li Xingzhuo wants to become a transcendent in the future, he must have a solid foundation, and Xiao Ying's move is to shake his foundation. In the original work, the male protagonist improves his cultivation very quickly, but he will also experience many life and death tribulations, so he can naturally consolidate his foundation and control his own power as soon as possible. But now all his tribulations have been blocked by Xiao Ying, and Xiao Ying also provides soul crystals to help him practice. The rapid improvement of strength is enough to make his foundation unstable.
Just like the reincarnations under his command, the reincarnations of the same realm who directly use points to exchange for cultivation with him are not as powerful as the reincarnations who practice by themselves.
Xiao Ying looked at Li Xingzhuo who accepted the soul crystal and smiled and said: "This middle-grade soul crystal can allow you to cultivate to the peak of the fifth grade. After you use it up, I will find a few more for you."
Li Xingzhuo felt embarrassed to accept this one, and felt that he owed Xiao Ying a lot. He quickly refused and said: "Brother Xiao, I know how good you are to me, and I am very grateful in my heart. But you should keep the precious treasure of soul crystal for yourself! How can you give it all to me?"
Xiao Ying smiled and said: "We have such a good relationship. Who else can I help if I don't help you? Why are you being polite to me?"
＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜
Two months later, four of the gold-clothed disciples were nominated as purple-clothed disciples.
In addition to Wan Jianliu and Qi Bi'an, there are two more who are probably runners-up. They are representatives of other factions in the Sword Sect. However, the influence of those factions is completely incomparable to the two factions of the Great Elder and the Sect Master, so the real successor to the Sect Master must be chosen from Wan Jianliu and Qi Bi'an.
Four gold-robed disciples were nominated as purple-robed disciples, and then began to prepare to accept the challenge on the ring. Generally, such challenges are just a formality, and no one cares too much.
But Wan Jianliu still remembered what Xiao Yan had said to him, so when he stood on the ring, he looked directly at Xiao Yan, and the provocation in his eyes was very obvious.
Xiao Yan was not provoked to go on the stage immediately, but looked at Qi Bi'an on the next ring.
Qi Bi'an nodded to him imperceptibly, and then a gold-robed disciple with relatively mediocre strength took the initiative to jump onto Wan Jianliu's ring and challenged him.
According to Xiao Yan's previous plan to cooperate with Qi Bi'an, Qi Bi'an deliberately let the gold-robed disciples of their Qi family faction go up to consume Wan Jianliu's power in order to increase Xiao Yan's winning rate.
Xiao Yan's strength certainly does not need to use such a small trick to increase his winning rate, but he is not good at exposing his strength, and secondly, he also wants to see Wan Jianliu's ability first.
He had a guess about Wan Jianliu's abnormality earlier, but he had never been able to verify it. He hoped to see something in this fight.
Wan Jianliu and the golden-clothed disciple of the Qi family faction had already started fighting.
The golden-clothed disciple was very good at defense as he was sent to the ring to consume Wan Jianliu's power, so this battle lasted a bit longer, and Wan Jianliu used more tricks.
Xiao Ying stood quietly under the ring and watched. He had studied the sword art in depth. He had once passed through Han Qianchi, a sword cultivator who specialized in the sword art. Later, after recovering the memory of the main god, he sorted out the cultivation techniques he had mastered and verified each other, and his understanding of the sword art became deeper.
However, the research on the sword art in this world was only superficial. Even the great elder of the Sword Sect, who was respected as the Sword God, had a very superficial understanding of the sword art. Many soldiers who awakened the sword soul only manifested the sword soul as a sword weapon for use. They were not even as good as the level of the Jianghu swordsmen in some martial arts worlds.
However, Xiao Ying saw the sword meaning from Wan Jianliu's sword moves - the sword meaning that must be mastered before understanding the sword art!
Everyone has their own fate, and the sword meanings that individuals comprehend are different. Xiao Ying saw that the sword meaning that Wan Jianliu comprehended was actually the sword of love!
Enter the sword with love, enter the way with love!
No wonder Wan Jianliu, who has always been obsessed with swords and is called a sword maniac, would easily fall in love with Liu Niao Niao.
I'm afraid that Liu Niaoniao caught up with the right opportunity. It happened that Wan Jianliu planned to use his love for the sword. The women around him who were interested in him did not dare to take the initiative to confess to him because of his old-fashioned and wooden personality. Only Liu Niaoniao, who had other intentions, took the initiative to pounce on him. He simply took Liu Niaoniao as an emotional support.
Wan Jianliu's feelings for Liu Niaoniao are not so much about falling in love with her as it is about relying on her to entrust his affectionate sword intention.
＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜
The golden-clothed disciple who challenged Wan Jianliu was defeated. Xiao Ying did not wait for the second golden-clothed disciple arranged by Qi Bi'an to come on stage. He took the initiative to go on stage.
Meeting Wan Jianliu's eyes, Xiao Ying looked at the sword soul in his hand that was emitting a faint glow, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to comprehend the sword meaning. I am the first soldier soul master who comprehended the sword meaning."
The cultivation system in this world is completely different from the cultivation martial arts. It's not that people in this world can't comprehend the sword meaning and sword art, but their cultivation direction is different, and there is no concept of sword meaning at all. Therefore, few people will practice in that direction. They only regard the soldier soul as a weapon, not as pure as Wan Jianliu.
"Sword meaning?" Wan Jianliu looked a little confused, but he soon realized what Xiao Ying meant by sword meaning. Excitement flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Xiao Ying, "Could it be that you have also cultivated the sword meaning?"
Xiao Ying smiled without saying a word, summoned the original owner's sword soul to manifest the sword, and then raised the sword to perform extremely exquisite sword moves, which contained ruthless sword meaning.
Using ruthlessness to deal with affection...
Wan Jianliu was far inferior to Xiao Ying in strength after all. His sword intent was broken by Xiao Ying's ruthless sword intent, and the sword soul that manifested as a sword became illusory and hazy, and was about to dissipate and return to Wan Jianliu's body.
At this time, Wan Jianliu didn't care about these things. He suddenly seemed to have realized something, and the movement of his hands also paused. Without his control, the sword soul could not maintain its shape and dissipated.
Xiao Ying knew that he had realized something through his ruthless sword intent, so he stood quietly in place without moving, waiting for Wan Jianliu to continue to realize.
It was just that in the eyes of others, Xiao Ying defeated Wan Jianliu with an extremely powerful sword move, causing his sword soul to collapse, and Wan Jianliu could not bear the blow and stood there in a daze, obviously unable to accept this cruel fact.
Wan Jianliu stood still and continued to comprehend, but he did not admit defeat, which meant that the challenge was not over yet, so Qi Bi'an, who happened to be unchallenged on the other stage, desperately winked at Xiao Yan to let him take the opportunity to sneak attack and destroy Wan Jianliu.
Xiao Yan pretended not to see it.
But it was not a good thing for the two sides to stand in a stalemate like this. In the end, Wan Jianliu's father, Wan Zongzhu, could not bear the pressure from the great elders and others, and took the initiative to announce that Wan Jianliu was defeated.
Wan Zongzhu shouted, awakening Wan Jianliu who was in the process of enlightenment. He was very sorry to interrupt his enlightenment, but he could do nothing because the person who pitted him was his own father.
But Wan Jianliu was still very grateful to Xiao Yan. If it were not for him, he would not have suddenly realized and made great progress in his sword intention.
