After giving up his methods, Zhang Yan secretly realized that after saving a wild ghost, he didn't use much spiritual energy before and after, equivalent to less than half of his current spiritual energy.
In fact, it takes more spiritual energy to save a ghost than to destroy it. Just like just now, if Zhang Yan wants to destroy the wild ghost, he only needs to use the peach wood sword to pierce the power of the spiritual fire talisman into the opponent's ghost body.
As long as it's within, the spirit fire will directly burn its soul body, and finally the three souls and seven souls will fall apart and dissipate completely. In that case, Zhang Yan's consumption will be less than half, or even directly ignored.
However, with Zhang Yan, even if he spent a little more spiritual energy, he would not just kill a ghost to save effort. What's more, he is just a wild ghost, so there is no need to do everything.
Zhang Yan put away the mahogany sword and was in a good mood. He finally saw what a ghost is, and he also touched some core things of the ghost body. These may come in handy in the future. But he just doesn't know how to compare to wild ghosts.
Do the more sinister ghosts also have a similar filthy core?
"This mass grave is not small. There shouldn't be just one wild ghost wandering around."
Zhang Yan circled the mass grave twice, and with the help of the evil-chasing talisman, he found a total of five wild ghosts. They were both male and female, and they had the same amount of evil spirits. In the end, they were all captured by him just like the first wild ghost.
I was saved with the "Singing Sutra".
After using up nearly 30% of his spiritual energy at one time, Zhang Yan also felt a little tired. This was the first time he had consumed his spiritual energy like this since he started practicing.
"It turns out that working behind closed doors is really not a good thing. I am obviously tired when I consume less than 30% of my energy. This kind of tenacity is still too bad." Zhang Yan was very dissatisfied with how quickly he felt tired.
This is like running. You have the physical strength to run thirty miles, but you start to feel mentally exhausted only at ten miles. It is very likely that your physical strength will not be used at all later and you will reach exhaustion early. If this is a desperate situation,
It was definitely a big failure.
The saying goes, "When strength comes into use, toughness comes first." This is the truth.
"It seems that I need to practice this aspect more often in the future. Consume the spiritual energy until about 40-50% is left, and then practice it again. Repeatedly, I should be able to improve my current shortcomings."
Zhang Yan thought that it was getting late here and that it would be impossible to go back to the city. There was no way to get in through the city gate. So he thought about it and decided to go to a cave he passed by when he was walking around the mountain to spend the night without sleeping.
, just meditate to pass the time.
But Zhang Yan didn't know that not long after he left, a baby's head appeared timidly from a tomb not far from him, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, and there was a hint of deep fear in the ferocious and strange look.
The direction he was looking at was exactly the direction Zhang Yan left.
And as the baby emerged, the evil wind around it suddenly rose up, as if it was blown out of the tomb. Even the evil breath was several times thicker than the wild ghost that Zhang Yan had saved here before.
.
The baby was suspended in the air and did not dare to stay any longer. He glanced at his own tomb and seemed a little reluctant to leave, but in the end he chose to leave and soon disappeared.
Zhang Yan was not clear about this scene. He would not have known that right under his nose, there would be a more sinister ghost than a wild ghost hiding in the tomb, evading his perception, and even using a wild ghost outside to avoid it.
The pursuit of the evil-chasing talisman. Otherwise, he would have seen the difference between evil ghosts and wild ghosts today.
"This is it. Well... it's not bad. There aren't any animals living here. It's pretty clean." Zhang Yan found a branch and simply swept the cave floor a few times to make sure there wasn't anything on the ground.
The reptile then dragged a thick dead tree back and lit a fire. Then he sat down cross-legged and prepared to complete today's homework.
However, when Zhang Yan was operating the technique as calmly as before, streaks of golden splendor that shouldn't have appeared entered his body along with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and he didn't even react yet.
"What are these?!" Zhang Yan was startled at first. You must know that after the spiritual energy enters the body, it will go to the cyclone in the Dantian, and it will also follow the path of the exercise method to travel through the main meridians of the body to complete the circulation. If the spiritual energy
If something harmful gets mixed in, Zhang Yan will definitely be in big trouble.
But Zhang Yan soon calmed down. He found that those golden brilliance did not cause any damage to his meridians and Dantian. On the contrary, with their addition, the cyclone in Dantian seemed to be a little stronger.
It's more like they actively merged into the Dantian cyclone and finally disappeared.
Only then did Zhang Yan come back to his senses. In just a few short breaths, the strength of the cyclone in his Dantian was already equivalent to what he had gained from practicing for more than half a month!
Zhang Yan is now in the late stage of the Qi-Entraining Realm. Although he has not yet felt where the barrier is to break through to the Qi-Entraining Realm, he estimates that it will be within a year or two. He has always been concerned about the growth of cyclones.
He is always paying attention and is extremely sensitive. Therefore, he was extremely surprised and puzzled by the scene that just happened.
How is this going?
In the two years since he started practicing, Zhang Yan has never encountered such a situation when running his exercises. Something else would enter his body along with the spiritual energy.
After doing this, Zhang Yan could no longer continue his homework. In other words, the episode just now was worth more than half a month of hard work.
What Zhang Yan wants to figure out is what exactly is that golden brilliance, and why it can be incorporated into his body along with the spiritual energy? Why can it dissolve and disappear in the cyclone, and why it can also strengthen the cyclone.
"A cyclone is formed by the gathering of spiritual energy, and there is nothing else except spiritual energy. The golden brilliance can be integrated into it and instantly strengthen the cyclone without any sense of foreign matter. So, could it be that those golden brilliance are also spiritual energy?" Zhang Yan
I don't think this is difficult to guess.
"But why have I never encountered this kind of golden splendor-like aura before? And there are six of them at once. Is there another reason?"
If those golden brilliance are more condensed spiritual energy, why do they appear suddenly? There are no benefits without reason in the world, even for spiritual energy.
I thought about it for a long time. Not only did I go over the environment I was in, all the details of the exercise I just performed, and even everything I did all day long. The only thing that was different from the past was that Zhang Yan did it for the first time today.
I saw ghosts and performed spiritual salvation rituals.
"Six wild ghosts, six rituals, six golden splendors...could this be the "merits of heaven's reward" mentioned in the book?!"
Zhang Yan's guess shocked himself again, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right.
Wandering ghosts violate the harmony of heaven and hinder the cycle of life and death. To save ghosts is to follow the will of heaven and do the right thing for heaven, so it should be rewarded naturally.
It's just that the "merit" in the Longhu Mountain's classics is vague, but after arriving in the Huangtian Realm, the merit can actually be so real?
