Daoist friend, you are a treasure, let me refine it for you

Three days later, Yi Mu sent five blindfolded and bound skinny men.

With scars on their bodies and a murderous aura, they were obviously bandits.

"They should not be good people. In fact, whether they are good people or not does not seem to be particularly important."

Jiang Yu dragged the five people to the back mountain and specially cleared a good location to prepare for the extraction of soul refining liquid.

Before, he always felt that if the use of art and magic must use people as materials, they must be evil and guilty people.

However, he did not know whether the five people sent by Yi Mu were really guilty. I think they were guilty. Yi Mu knew that he was a good person, but even if they were mixed with good people, he would not know.

"Why think so much, these are obviously evil people. Refining them is a good thing... Why bother so much.

"

Jiang Yu chuckled. He was a little too serious. Yi Mu was sure that the people he sent were all evil people, and he was playing to his heart.

The five people were tied up very well, so there was no need to bother tying them up again. All they had to do was drive the soul-fixing nails into the material one by one.

Jiang Yu, who had already done it once, was very familiar with it at this moment. He used 64 soul-fixing nails to completely seal the soul of one person in the body, then cut open the spine, inserted kapok, and lit the candle.

There was a faint crackling sound, and the burning of meat and fat gave off an alluring fragrance.

But the scene was not beautiful. The remaining four people who were tied up had completely collapsed psychologically.

Death is nothing more than that. But what if someone hammered dozens of nails into you like nailing a board, and finally lit you like a candle?

You couldn't even scream, because Jiang Yu's first nail directly nailed the tongue and throat together.

The faint firelight was the shadow of the death.

"Don't try to run away, you are all my treasures."

Jiang Yu sat on a wooden bench, staring at the four people with a pair of eyes. Two Yin corpses were lurking on the side. There was no chance for the four tied mortals to escape.

The flame of the candle burned for more than ten days in a row, and in exchange for five portions of soul refining liquid.

Gulp——

Jiang Yu drank a bottle of soul refining liquid in one gulp.

"Slightly sweet, astringent, and refreshing aftertaste."

After tasting the taste, Jiang Yu began to feel the changes of the soul refining liquid in his body. After entering his throat, the soul refining liquid was divided into two.

One, wandering around his limbs and bones, made him feel comfortable all over, and many complicated thoughts were cleansed.

The other rushed straight to the dantian, turned into a pale white mist, and kept flowing in the dantian.

"Is this looking inside yourself?"

After taking the soul refining liquid, Jiang Yu could see the situation in his body. Because of this, he knew that the soul refining liquid was divided into two and where to go.

I don't know if it was because of the magic power or the clear soul.

Seeing the effect for the first time, Jiang Yu immediately drank another bottle, and it was still divided into two, one acting on the soul, and the other turning into magic power.

After drinking five bottles, Jiang Yu looked inside his Dantian and saw that there was a lot of light white mist.

These mists are mana.

"Gather!"

Controlled by the mind, the mist mana began to gather and turned into five strands of white hair-like mana.

"In the Qi Refining stage, you refine the Dantian and contain mana. Ten strands of mana are the first level of Qi Refining, twenty strands are the second level of Qi Refining, and the third level has thirty strands of mana, which is called the initial stage of Qi Refining. Now it seems that you only need to collect and replenish about thirty people to cultivate to the third level of Qi Refining."

Feeling the amount of mana in the body, Jiang Yu didn't expect that the effect of this soul refining liquid was unexpectedly good.

Thirty people is easy to get, but the third level of Qi Refining is not easy to get.

The moves used by practitioners are called magic.

Among them, the magic used in the Qi Refining stage is generally called style, and only the magic used in the Foundation Establishment stage is qualified to be called magic.

General Qi Refining magic, such as the Fire Stepping Style, requires ten strands of mana to activate.

Unless you are proficient in this method, you can use the magic while increasing or decreasing the input mana.

Five strands of mana cannot be used in either the Fire-Walking Style or the Molten Fire Style, but that doesn't mean that mana is useless.

"Rise!"

The mana flows out of the meridians and hits the ground, and the ground begins to bulge, as if bamboo shoots are being pushed up underneath.

"Break."

Another wave of his hand, and a small tree as thick as a bowl next to him breaks with a sound.

After several times, only two strands of mana remained from the five strands, and the surrounding terrain turned into a flat stone slab, as if it had been built by a craftsman.

"Even if you don't use the style, mana can do a lot of things. Control objects, shape, attack... an absolute god-like role among mortals."

Only three strands of mana can make a piece of mountain land neat and tidy. Jiang Yu realized how big the gap between practitioners and mortals is after creating all this with his own hands.

"Another point, whether the mana obtained by refining soul liquid can be restored by itself."

The wanton use of mana is not intentional waste, but Jiang Yu wants to see if this mana can be restored, or can only be restored with soul refining liquid.

The way for a cultivator to recover his mana is to either take elixirs or regulate his breathing.

The larger the capacity of the dantian, the stronger the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the faster the recovery speed.

Jiang Yu sat cross-legged and began to practice the exercises.

This time, he quickly felt the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which was very thin and scattered, but filled the entire world as far as he could see.

"Sure enough, after having mana, sensing spiritual energy is no longer a threshold, and it becomes as simple as breathing."

After sensing the existence of spiritual energy, Jiang Yu began to absorb this spiritual energy, put it into the dantian, practice the exercises, and convert it into mana.

But this speed immediately made him frown.

It was too slow.

A maximum of one ray can be restored in an hour. This requires running the technique all the time. In normal battles, it can be completely ignored.

However, if it can be restored at least, it can only be done like this for now. It is better to use the soul refining liquid to increase cultivation, and it is a bit luxurious to use it to restore mana.

Yes, the soul refining liquid seems to only gain cultivation, but in fact, when the capacity of the Dantian is insufficient, it will temper the Dantian as if it is a practice, so that it can accommodate this ray of mana.

This is why Jiang Yu had five rays of magic power as soon as he started practicing.

Therefore, Jiang Yu felt that the soul-burning liquid refining method could not be taught at will. It would be good to use the soul refining liquid as a sect reward.

In the end, it seems that the skills in the art books are not easy to teach.

Jiang Yu had no choice but to smile bitterly. Naturally, his current strength was too weak and his Yishu skills were too effective. If rumors spread, he would not only be unable to maintain his skills, but would also cause disaster.

"However, I have begun to practice, and so have my disciples. With the blessing of Yishu's skills, my cultivation is not easy to catch. No matter how bad it is, I can find a place to raise dozens or hundreds of pigs for sacrifice. It is also a good force."

Jiang Yu has never stopped pursuing strength, but now, he is just on the right track. He only needs to give him a while, not to mention foundation building, as long as he reaches the later stage of Qi refining, he will be more confident.
