Chapter 46 Tens of Thousands of Evil Spirits
Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The unique magic weapon of the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators.
Made of a hundred-year-old locust wood, it uses the souls of cultivators as the generals, sacrifices hundreds of lives with blood, and is refined after 49 days. It has the effect of communicating yin and yang, and restraining souls and refining spirits.
The power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is determined by the number of souls restrained in the banner. The more souls there are, the greater the power.
If the souls of foundation-building cultivators are used as the generals and tens of thousands of living souls are used as soldiers, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner can be refined and promoted to a spiritual weapon. If the souls of Jindan real people are used as the generals and 500,000 souls are used as soldiers, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner can be refined and promoted to a magic weapon...
......
Su Ming checked the specific information of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the exchange list through the identity token, and his eyes were thoughtful.
The Ghost Spirit Sect is one of the six sects of the demonic path in the Tiannan cultivation world. Its fierce reputation in Tiannan makes cultivators change color when they hear it, which is the level of "children dare not cry at night after hearing it".
However, the Ghost Spirit Sect's sphere of influence is far from the Jiang Kingdom's cultivation world. Su Ming has been cultivating for decades and has never heard of any Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators in the Jiang Kingdom's cultivation world.
On the exchange list, this Ten Thousand Souls Banner has reached the level of a mid-grade spiritual weapon. Two early foundation-building cultivators, hundreds of Qi-refining cultivators, and about 20,000 living souls are imprisoned in the banner, and its power is comparable to that of a top-grade spiritual weapon.
It is unknown which Ghost Spirit Sect foundation-building cultivator came to Jiang Kingdom to refine the banner, and finally died in a foreign country. His relics fell into the hands of Guiyuan Sect and were used as rewards to exchange for disciples of the sect.
He could probably guess the purpose of this Ghost Spirit Sect cultivator coming to Jiang Kingdom. He was unable to compete with his fellow cultivators, and wanted to find a "countryside place" that would not be wanted by the righteous to slaughter the mortals, and use it to sacrifice his Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and was finally killed by the Guiyuan Sect cultivators.
"Five hundred battle merits... not expensive..."
Su Ming looked at the price of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the exchange list and thought to himself that according to the sect's evaluation of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner as a top-grade spiritual weapon, five hundred battle merits was a "bargain price".
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is the unique magic weapon of the Ghost Spirit Sect. The evil spirits in the banner are extremely heavy. If there is no special technique to control it, ordinary foundation-building cultivators will have great difficulties in refining it. If it is used improperly, it may backfire on itself.
It is probably for this reason that no one has exchanged this Ten Thousand Souls Banner so far.
Now that he is on the front line, it is obviously unrealistic for Su Ming to practice peacefully.
It has only been four years since he broke through the foundation-building stage. Even with the Water Virtue Formation and the elixir that improves his cultivation, the liquid mana in his body is only more than 300 drops.
The current mana foundation is still a few years away from condensing the second drop of rootless heavy water. To reach the 1,500 drops of liquid mana foundation that breaks through the middle stage of foundation-building, it normally takes 20 years of hard work.
According to Su Ming's estimation, if he does not encounter a bottleneck, he will have the opportunity to try to break through the Jindan stage at the age of 120.
This cultivation speed has exceeded that of a double-spiritual root cultivator and is comparable to that of an ordinary spiritual root cultivator.
The current situation is special. If Su Ming wants to exchange for the position of a true disciple, he will inevitably have to fight with the cultivators of the two sects.
Compared with the time and energy required to improve the cultivation level, if you want to further improve your strength on the front battlefield, the fastest way is to use external forces such as spiritual tools.
For Su Ming, this Wanhun Banner is an "external force" that can make his strength further in a short period of time.
However, Su Ming is not very interested in the Wanhun Banner, a mid-grade spiritual tool.
He does not lack spiritual tools in his hands. Unless it is a high-grade spiritual tool or a top-grade spiritual tool, it will not be of much help to Su Ming.
What Su Ming really values is the tens of thousands of souls imprisoned in the Wanhun Banner.
Massacres of ordinary people in Jiang State will be hunted down by the three sects, but no one cares about refining the souls in the Wanhun Banner!
If the Ten Thousand Souls Banner can be exchanged, the tens of thousands of evil souls in the banner can be used to sacrifice the True Soul Flame, which will surely make this secret method of spiritual consciousness more powerful. At that time, the chances of hunting down the disciples of the two sects and collecting three thousand war merits will be a little better.
"The heads of five early foundation-building cultivators..."
Su Ming's eyes flickered, and he slowly left the War Merit Hall on the second floor after putting his identity token back into his storage bag.
Everything on the exchange list requires war merits. Su Ming has just arrived and has no war merits at all, so he naturally does not need to stay for long.
......
After leaving the War Merit Hall, Su Ming came to his temporary cave under the guidance of a disciple.
The cave looks not much different from an ordinary inn, with a classical and exquisite appearance, and it doesn't look surprising.
"Uncle, this is it."
The leading disciple said, looking at Su Ming with respectful eyes.
"Well, go ahead!"
Su Ming ignored the eager eyes of the leading disciple, took out the cave token, pinched the seal with one hand, opened the cave restriction and walked in.
Being on the front line of the battlefield, most of the Qi Refining disciples wanted to hug the thigh of the Foundation Building Master to increase their chances of survival.
But the reality is cruel. Without relatives or friends, and without any benefits, how could the Foundation Building cultivators spend their time to protect ordinary Qi Refining disciples.
Seeing Su Ming's figure disappear in the cave, the leading disciple could only leave with disappointment.
After entering the cave, Su Ming suddenly felt a strong spiritual energy coming towards him. The concentration of spiritual energy alone was no less than that of the Yuchi Mountain Cave, and even three times better, which was in sharp contrast to the thin spiritual energy in Qingyuan City.
As the largest stronghold of Guiyuan Sect in the northern part of Jingzhou, Qingyuan City was naturally built on the spiritual vein, and the spiritual vein grade was as high as the third grade, which was more than enough to support the cultivation of multiple Jindan Zhenren.
When he just arrived at Qingyuan City, Su Ming observed through the River Map and Luoshu that the city was equipped with a third-level medium-quality composite protective formation. Most of the spiritual energy in the city was locked by the formation, and only certain caves or inns could supply spiritual energy.
But even so, the concentration of spiritual energy in Qingyuan City was much richer than that of ordinary places.
In a conversation with the guide disciple, Su Ming learned that except for the monks of Guiyuan Sect and ordinary people, all monks had to pay spiritual stones to enter the city.
Just staying in Qingyuan City requires five spiritual stones a month, and the spiritual stones for staying in inns and caves are calculated separately.
All monks entering the city will receive a special token, which records the stay time. When the time is up, they must pay spiritual stones to extend the stay in the city.
Regarding the income of the sect, Guiyuan Sect is very strict in checking the "entry fee", and there are special instruments that can sense invalid tokens.
If you stay in the city for a short time, you will either have to pay double the amount of spirit stones or be captured and demoted to slavery until you pay back the spirit stones.
It's just that now that we are at war, the entrance fee has been temporarily waived by the sect, which can be regarded as a "welfare" for the cultivators staying in Qingyuan City.
Of course, this is the case without receiving the transfer order from Guiyuan Sect. If the sect lacks "cannon fodder" and happens to be selected by the transfer order, the casual cultivators who enjoy this benefit may have to pay with their lives.
After entering the cave, Su Ming practiced the skills as usual. He was "suffocated" for not practicing well for a month.
When the practice was over, Su Ming simply washed up and fell asleep soon.
It was impossible to rest well on the Guiyuan Boat. After a month, even the foundation-building cultivators were a little tired.
