Chapter 22: March of Penance
Four spiritual array maps are like four majestic giant mountains, floating high in the vast space inside the Soul-Suppressing Bead.
The complicated and mysterious patterns, the lines intersect and connect, are complicated and contain an indescribable sense of mystery.
Qin Lie's spiritual consciousness was floating in it. He looked at one of the giant spiritual array diagrams, and after a while, he became listless and felt a strong sense of fatigue.
He hurriedly took back a ray of spiritual consciousness.
The space with four spiritual array maps is hidden. After the seal is broken, as long as he releases a ray of spiritual thought, he can escape into the broken space and watch the mysterious spiritual array map.
However, as long as you look carefully at one of the spiritual array diagrams, he will be exhausted and very sad after a while.
This is different from the state of being unable to do without thoughts.
In a state of inability and thoughtlessness, his soul consciousness will slowly drift away from his mind, and finally it seems that the entire soul is hidden in the bead and enters the space outside the soul-suppressing bead.
The outer space is vast and endless. The soul will never be tired or depressed in it. It seems that it can be maintained forever, such as falling into a deep sleep state, and it also has the wonderful function of nourishing the soul and warming the gods.
The inner space with the spiritual array diagram is hidden, and only a wisp of spiritual consciousness can enter. However, once you enter it, your mental power will be consumed. If you look at those spiritual array diagrams carefully, the speed of weakness and listlessness will be several times faster, and in a short while it will exhaust the incoming spirit, making the soul feel powerless.
Mental power is a very mysterious power, which is the invisible energy that the soul can sense and touch. It is said that only high-level warriors can truly understand the use and practice.
Spiritual power is the power cultivated by a warrior through his physical body, while mental power is the power cultivated by his soul.
However, it is difficult for low-level warriors to perceive their mental power, let alone use and practice.
Qin Lie is also in a low state, but for some reason, he has always been able to deeply sense the existence of mental power, which may be related to his ten-year memory seal, or to the Soul-Suppressing Bead itself...
"Are these four spiritual array pictures left by grandpa? Grandpa is also a weapon refiner... No, grandpa once said that he couldn't see the mystery of the soul-suppressing beads. It shouldn't be left by grandpa, so... it's the original thing inside the bead."
After retracting his spiritual consciousness, Qin Lie's face was a little pale, his handsome face was full of confusion, and he could not guess the origin and mystery of the four spiritual array diagrams.
The spiritual array map is the most core thing for the weapon refiner. The fundamental reason for determining the level of a spiritual weapon is the spiritual array map carved inside the spiritual weapon. The mysterious and magical spiritual array map can greatly increase the power of the spiritual weapon and exert the most powerful side of the spiritual weapon material!
It can be said that the spiritual array diagram is the soul of the spiritual weapon, the foundation of the weapon refining machine, and it is also the standard for measuring the level of a weapon refining machine!
After resting for a while, he condensed another ray of mental power and continued to go deep into the vast space, staring at the giant spiritual array map he had been staring at before, trying to remember this spiritual array map in his heart.
The mental power was like a glimmer of light, looking into the giant spiritual array map, carefully observing...
Through the lines that vary in length, representing the spiritual power veins, and connecting his grandfather's words about the basic spiritual array diagram, he gradually realized that the purpose of this spiritual array diagram is to "gather spirits".
According to his grandfather, there are four basic spiritual array diagrams, namely spirit gathering, spirit storage, amplification, and toughness.
Gathering spirits means that the "utensil" can gather spiritual power, so that the warrior can inject spiritual power into the object.
Spirit storage means that the "utensil" can store the infused spiritual power. After many stored spiritual power, it will be very terrible to release the power at once.
The amplification is to use the material of the "device" itself to enhance the infused spiritual power.
Some special materials can turn 10% of the spiritual power injected into 20%, or even stack to 30%.
There are other ways to express the amplification. By compressing the spiritual power, one cycle after another, the spiritual power becomes extremely essence, as sharp as a steel needle, and is also a form of amplification.
The reason why many sword-like spiritual weapons can release sword and sword light is that there is often such compressed amplification spiritual array diagram inside.
Strongness means to enhance the firmness and toughness of the "device", making the spiritual weapon less likely to break, can accommodate more spiritual power, and can withstand stronger amplitude.
The four types of spiritual gathering, spiritual storage, amplification, and toughness are the basic spiritual array diagrams that a weapon refiner must master. However, the four types of spiritual array diagrams that each weapon refiner understands are actually different.
A simple amplification spiritual array diagram may have dozens of ways to portray it, and may all achieve the effect of amplification spiritual power, but its power may vary greatly.
Some amplification spiritual array diagrams can only increase spiritual power by one percent, while others can increase spiritual power by one or even several times, or dozens of times!
Similarly, the three spiritual array diagrams of gathering spirits, storing spirits, and solidifying strength may have their own understanding and understanding based on the inheritance, master's degree, etc. of each weapon refiner. This leads to the different spiritual array diagrams of each weapon refiner, and their power is also very different.
Of course, the more powerful a weapon refiner is, with the understanding of the spiritual power and rules of heaven and earth, the spiritual array maps will become stronger and stronger, and the spiritual array maps will become more and more perfect, more and more in line with the rules of heaven and earth, achieving a magical effect that is unpredictable to ghosts and gods.
"Gathering spirits, this is gathering spirits! Look at the other three spiritual array diagrams!"
Qin Lie concentrated his mental energy and did not study the mystery of the map array for the time being. He just used the common sense of refining weapons that his grandfather had forced over the years to determine the effectiveness of the other three spiritual array diagrams.
"Storing spirit! Amplification! Strong! It's true that these three spiritual array diagrams are! But how could the four most basic spiritual array diagrams be portrayed so complicated? It's like a ghost drawing talisman. It makes people dizzy when they look at it. It's very difficult to remember one of them, and I don't know who carved them in..."
Soon, he retracted a thread of mental power and determined the names of the four spiritual array diagrams, and his doubts became even heavier.
In the following period, when lightning and lightning come, he would use the power grid in the cave to temper his body and practice thunder and lightning.
After breaking through to the seventh level of body refining, his cultivation of Tianlei Shi was progressing very quickly, and he could guide lightning to penetrate the bone marrow and internal organs.
As lightning and lightning tempered the internal organs again and again, he felt that the strength of his body was moving towards a higher level. He vaguely felt that the foundation of the thunder and lightning was about to be firmly laid.
The sky thunder is dying to the point where the bone marrow and internal organs can withstand the hammer of thunder and lightning. He can practice without relying on the power grid in the cave and directly relying on the outside lightning.
In the days without lightning, he condensed his spiritual power, and while opening up the spiritual sea, he continued to penetrate his ten fingers, so that the main attack points in his body could reach spiritual power overflow.
Whenever his body is exhausted, he will gather his mental power to see the four spiritual array diagrams of the world inside the Soul-Suppressing Bead.
In a month, he only remembered one-third of the array map of the "Spirit Gathering" spiritual array map. He didn't even dare to look at the other three spiritual array maps now.
A single spiritual gathering array map consumed a lot of his mental energy, and he was depressed every time he looked at it.
However, when he recovers, he often realizes that his mental power has increased to a very small extent, and it seems that he can use his mental power to examine the spiritual array diagram to cultivate his mental power.
It was also because of this discovery that he insisted on this extremely boring and painful task of looking at pictures.
Mental power is the power to break the seal of the Soul-Suppressing Pearl. Whether he can solve the mystery of his life experience in the future and regain his memory for ten years depends on the strength of his mental power.
Therefore, as long as things that can strengthen their mental power, no matter how hard or difficult it is, he will grit his teeth and persevere.
Time flies, and another two months have passed.
He practiced unremittingly and hard, his mental power improved significantly, and the foundation of Tianlei Shu was laid firmly.
Now, he can release surging spiritual power through his ten fingers, palms, shoulders and other parts, and cultivate to the realm of selflessness. He vaguely feels that he is about to reach the threshold of the eighth level of body refining, which makes him realize that his cultivation has improved very quickly recently.
Moreover, even the complicated and difficult-to-understand spiritual gathering array diagram was memorized by him.
I remembered it, but he did not understand the mystery of the array map, nor did he know what the basic spiritual array map was for.
On this day, he returned to the stone house in the evening and suddenly saw Ling Yushi who had disappeared for a long time waiting for him.
"I haven't seen you for three months, and you are still the same. Really, I didn't show any happy expression when I saw me. I am your fiancée." Ling Yushi, wearing a navy blue warrior suit, looked refreshing and neat. Her long black hair was like a satin shawl, her face was rosy, and her beautiful eyes were full of energy. It was obvious that her cultivation had improved.
"Thank you for your blessing, I have broken through to the eighth level of body refining!" Seeing that Qin Lie did not respond, she couldn't help laughing at first, "I originally just wanted to refine the Hundred Mai Pill, but I didn't expect that the elixirs were so effective. With the help of two mortal-level sixth-grade spirit stones, I actually broke through in three months. It's amazing!"
Qin Lie was also secretly happy for her, knowing that even if her talent was slightly inferior to Ling Xuanxuan, she should not be much different. Moreover, she had been stagnant in the seventh level of body refining. With the help of Hundred Meridians and Sixth-grade Spirit Stones, it would be natural for Qin Lie to break through to the first level of heaven after three months of hard practice.
"Come here, I brought you some delicious food, which I made by myself." Ling Yushi smiled and waved at him, then put out the food.
Four dishes and one soup, the dishes look delicious and attractive. Qin Lie was not polite, so he picked up the chopsticks and found that the taste was really good.
"Xingyun Pavilion found a fire crystal stone mine in Tianlang Mountain. There was an instruction there, asking the Ling family, Feng family, and Gao family to sect ten martial artists from the Body Refining Realm to mine together. Xingyun Pavilion will pay for low-level spirit stones. I have just broken through to the eighth level of heaven. My father asked me to lead the team and lead Ling Feng, Ling Ying and others over, and work with the Feng family and Gao family to mine fire crystal stones together."
Ling Yushi said quietly while he was having a meal: "My little sister is still in the seventh level of heaven. My father doesn't allow her to go out. She wants her to practice well at home, so I can only lead the team. Alas, she came out of seclusion and was sent out immediately. I don't have time to take care of you... I'm going, Ling Feng and Ling Ying are going together, I'm not very relieved when you go in and out of Yaoshan alone, why don't you go there with me?"
Her beautiful eyes looked at Qin Lie.
"Tianlang Mountain..." Qin Lie felt a little shocked when he thought of the map his grandfather drew.
"If you don't say anything, I'll just say you agree. Then I'll come to pick you up tomorrow and we'll leave early in the morning. Don't worry, there will be no danger. There are people from the Xingyun Pavilion there, and there will be ten people in the Feng family and the Gao family. There are few other spirit beasts in that area, it's okay."
Ling Yushi stood up from the stone bench with a smile, looked at Qin Lie pretty and buried her head in pain, pursed her lips and burst into laughter, then went over and let Qin Lie water.
After she walked away, Qin Lie looked up, his eyes retreated, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"The reason why there are no other spirit beasts near Tianlang Mountain is because Tianlang Mountain is the territory of the second-level spirit beast Silver Winged Demon Wolf. According to the grandfather's map, the Silver Wolf will go to the ice peaks deep in the Jihan Mountains every May and June, and will return to Tianlang Mountain in July. It is almost the end of June..."
Qin Lie looked at the door of the bathroom, listened to Ling Yushi humming a small song, and was happily putting bath water for him, feeling a little irritated.
