Do not die

"The ever-changing spirit body, the white lotus spirit body, and the natural sword body are all supplemented by constantly absorbing the true forms of skills with high compatibility."

"The completion and perfection of the transparent Taoist body is not like this, but the continuous use and in-depth exploration of the Taoist ability itself."

Based on the actual situation, Meng Zhou further clarified its scope.

"Research, invent, create, explore new paths."

"The transparent Taoist body is like a weapon. Only through constant use will it be continuously sharpened and become more and more sharp."

…

August. early.

Deeply in concentration, Meng Zhou's consciousness is like the way of heaven, overlooking the various forces in the body, centered on the three poles of essence, energy and spirit, and circulating in the sky.

In the previous several trainings, the magic power on the Qi refining side played the role of "leading the way".

But this time, as Meng Zhou upgraded the physical training method Black Turtle Carrying the Monument to a veritable third-level skill, everything seemed different.

The power on the body refining side has gradually gone from being a force that needs to be supported to being on par with the energy refining mana, jointly supporting the power related to the sea of ​​consciousness and soul to run forward together.

The speed of the weekly cycle has therefore become much faster.

The efficiency of the "inner world" in absorbing and refining the "outer world" has also been accelerated a lot.

It needs to be mentioned that the "body refining power" involved in this weekly cycle does not only refer to the Qi and blood that have transformed to the third level.

The power of Qi and blood can only be regarded as a manifestation of the power of body refining.

It also includes strong muscles and bones, vitality, life potential, etc.

All these powers derived from the flesh and blood body are "body refining power".

These changes were reflected in Meng Zhou's cognition.

Even as the Black Turtle's True Skill of Bearing the Monument was upgraded to the third level, the "inner world" itself that his consciousness could see also participated in this three-pole cycle.

Instead of simply providing a platform, it becomes a "container".

This means that as Meng Zhou's power in all aspects transforms and sublimates from the second level to the third level, the three-pole cycle of energy, energy and spirit becomes more and more "touching the root".

When the negative energy accumulated to the limit again, Meng Zhou woke up from a deep state of trance.

Meng Zhou clearly felt that "qi" and "jing" have become more integrated. The most superficial manifestation of this is that the third-level mana and the third-level qi and blood can achieve a higher degree of integration, and can exert a plus effect. The effect of one is greater than two.

At a deeper level, the Qi refining method and the body refining method were more deeply integrated into his life itself.

Practicing Taoism and pursuing a higher level of life seem to have become the instinct of this body.

After carefully experiencing the gains of this retreat, Meng Zhou finally ended the retreat.

…

The progress of cultivation is +315, and the first level of pill formation is 1110/10,000.

Third-level Spring Water Sutra +2100, initial success is 6300/15,000.

Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill +2100, entry level 2100/7500.

…

Compared with the last retreat, the progress of cultivation this time has been significantly improved.

Based on Meng Zhou's own feelings during the retreat, he knew that this was the result of the physical training method being deeply involved in the three-pole cycle.

Before the body-refining method completes the third-level transformation, relying solely on the Spring Water Sutra to support it, the cultivation progress of one retreat is 210 points.

Now, with the third-level body training method participating in the three-pole cycle, the cultivation progress of one retreat has become 315 points, an increase of 1.5 times.

This is a new change that has not appeared in the foundation building stage, which shows that his feelings are correct, and the three-pole cycle is indeed more deeply involved, and even embedded in his life.

In addition, Meng Zhou made another discovery after leaving seclusion.

Previously, his retreat, which started on the first day of the lunar month, would not end until noon on the sixth day of the lunar month.

But this time, it was over on the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar month.

The retreat time has been shortened by nearly a day, but the cultivation efficiency has not decreased but increased. This is the change brought about by the transformation of the body refining method to the third level.

…

The third-level cave where Meng Zhou currently practices was built with the funds and efforts of the Sanchuan Society.

Later, after Meng Zhou moved in, except for a comprehensive modification of the battle system and some other arrangements to improve safety, the other layout remained unchanged.

President Pan has also visited Meng Zhou's retreat courtyard in Zhuang Tianzhuang many times, and has a good understanding of his temperament and preferences.

Therefore, apart from a few high-standard retreat rooms and a few other houses with simple and refreshing layouts, the cave mansion, which covers an area of ​​six acres, is full of green plants.

There is also a larger pond and an underdrain that can divert water from the pond to the cave to meet the needs of spiritual plants everywhere.

In this pond, some spiritual lotus and other aquatic spiritual plants are planted.

In a pavilion near a pond, Meng Zhou brewed a pot of spiritual tea for himself after coming out of seclusion.

At this moment, it is raining lightly in the sky, and the misty water vapor is like a layer of thin veil that surrounds the spiritual plants.

The dripping rainwater dripped from the eaves of the water pavilion into the pond. Holding a cup of freshly brewed spiritual tea, Meng Zhou felt quite contented.

At this moment, there was a soft sound of footsteps beside him.

"You are in good spirits." A voice sounded beside him.

Meng Zhou opened his eyes and saw Bai Zhi already sitting opposite, pouring himself a cup of spiritual tea.

She brought it to her mouth, smelled it, and took a sip. While enjoying it, a look of doubt appeared on her face.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with the tea?" Meng Zhou asked.

Bai Zhi shook her head: "No, the tea is very good."

As she said that, she shook her head slightly, her expression still doubtful, and poured herself another glass.

Meng Zhou could probably understand what she was wondering about. When Zhu Qian said goodbye for the last time, he gave her a lot of spiritual tea, and she probably shared it with her teacher, Bai Zhi.

The spiritual tea he is brewing now was made by him recently.

With the improvement of cultivation, those second-level tea-making skills that had already reached their peak have also entered a new and higher world.

His current tea-making ability has reached a higher level than before.

Therefore, Bai Zhi must have felt some familiar feelings after drinking it, but for a while it was not associated with the ones she had drank before, so she was a little confused.

After drinking a few drinks greedily, Bai Zhi saw "Ge Ping" and fell silent again, ignoring her as a living person.

After more than half a year of "imprisonment", open and honest communication, and the special bond between the two, she lost her initial worries and asked directly: "What are you thinking about?"

Meng Zhou said casually: "I'm thinking about planting two third-level spiritual tea trees."

Bai Zhi, who had been dealing with Lingzhi all year round, became interested when she heard this, and helped to provide serious advice.

She put down her tea cup and gave her own advice as she thought.

"If the third-level spiritual tea tree is cultivated directly from spiritual seeds, the day when we can drink the third-level spiritual tea will have to be at least twenty or thirty years later, right?"

"So, the best way is to find some third-level adult plants. Even if they are not completely mature spiritual plants, it is best to cultivate them to the third level in three to five years.

However, this is not easy. "

Speaking of this, Bai Zhi couldn't help but shook her head when she thought of the difficulties involved.

There are no more than two ways to obtain this spiritual plant.

Either buy it or find it.

If you want to buy it, there seems to be almost no second choice except Qingxuan Sect.

Of course, Qingxuan Sect has no shortage of third-level spiritual tea trees. Not to mention whether they sell it or not, they really want to sell it. This kind of spiritual tea tree that can stably produce third-level spiritual tea needs no thought at all. It must be a new Dan-forming spirit tea tree. Unaffordable sky-high price.

None of the casual cultivators are well-off. "Ge Ping" has just been promoted to Jiedan, and there are many things to do. Whether it is equipping himself with third-level magic weapons or trying to find some minor resources to improve the efficiency of practice, it is far more important. On top of the Nongzhuling tea tree.

As for buying a mature plant that will take three to five years to advance to the third level, the price cannot be low.

If you exclude the option of buying one, you have to find it yourself.

To find this kind of third-level spiritual plant, you can only go to the third-level evil vein.

Looking for third-level spiritual plants in the third-level evil veins is a matter of luck in itself. If you also add specific types of spiritual plants, it is basically like looking for a needle in a haystack.

What's more important is that this behavior can be dangerous, very, very dangerous.

It's also a waste of time, a very, very waste of time.

After some thinking, Bai Zhi discovered that the best way is to find some spiritual seeds of third-level spiritual tea trees now, cultivate them with painstaking efforts, and look forward to the fragrance of tea decades from now.

Bai Zhi was thinking hard for Meng Zhou, but what Meng Zhou was thinking at the moment was not exactly the same thing as what Bai Zhi was thinking about.

Bai Zhi considered that it would take too long to cultivate third-level spiritual seeds into talents, which was not a problem for him.

There are 390 drops of White Lotus Spirit Essence in his inventory, and the number of Green Lotus Sword Essence has accumulated to 34 drops with the end of this retreat.

And as time continues, it is still accumulating.

Therefore, as long as he obtains the spiritual seeds of the third-level spiritual tea tree, he can drink the freshly harvested third-level spiritual tea in just half a day.

What he was really thinking about was whether to use the White Lotus Spiritual Essence and Green Lotus Sword Essence in his inventory to ripen a large number of third-level spiritual plants.

In this way, a large amount of third-level spiritual materials can be obtained in a short period of time to meet the needs of his own spiritual puppet leveling.

After thinking carefully for a while, Meng Zhou gave up the idea.

Although the accumulation of third-level spiritual materials is slow, with the persistence of the Green Blood Army, there will always be enough.

The cost of exchanging these spiritual materials was nothing to him.

Whether it's the White Lotus Soul Essence or the Green Lotus Sword Essence, Meng Zhou's idea is to use it if you can't use it.

It would be better for these special spiritual beings to eat ashes in an empty gourd than to have insufficient reserves because they are readily available when needed.

"However, some third-level spiritual plants with special value can still be planned."

Meng Zhou thought in his mind and kept this matter in his heart.

At this moment, Meng Zhou felt that the formation was touched.

When his consciousness swept away, he saw Tu Baiyao and Zhu Qian waiting outside the cave.

Zhu Qian's face was full of anxiety and confusion.

Meng Zhou said to Bai Zhi beside him: "Zhu Qian is here."

When Bai Zhi heard this, she was startled and stood up directly, giving people the feeling of being at a loss and being caught and raped in bed.

"Then... then you wait a moment until I transform back into Zhou Nan."

Meng Zhou frowned and said:

"Since she is your true disciple, she did not take over from Zhou Nan.

Your relationship is not fake, so why do you keep pretending to her?

Are you planning to hide it from her for the rest of your life? "

Bai Zhi heard this, struggled for a while, and then said hesitantly: "Then... that's okay."

So, she sat down again next to Meng Zhou nervously, and subconsciously moved closer to Meng Zhou.

The formation at the entrance of the cave has been opened in front of Tu Baiyao and Zhu Qian.

Tu Baiyao's expression relaxed, and his face was filled with joy, but when Zhu Qian looked at the suddenly opened formation, she felt like she was watching a beast open its mouth, feeling fear from inside.

From the limited information she has obtained now, this is the cave of a new Dan-former.

In the past, she would have avoided places like this.

But today——

Thinking of this, she still made up her mind and followed Tu Baiyao inside.

But when she entered the cave and followed Tu Baiyao in front of her to a pavilion near a pond, Zhu Qian was stunned.

It’s understandable that I don’t know the man. He must be the owner of this room, the newly promoted alchemy cultivator.

But the key point is that she also doesn't recognize the stunning female cultivator next to the male cultivator.

Zhu Qian was stunned immediately. Where is the teacher? Where is my teacher?

Zhu Qian couldn't help but glance at Tu Baiyao next to her, and she couldn't help but have all kinds of weird thoughts in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, like a little white sheep that accidentally fell into a tiger's den, pitiful and helpless.

…

Meng Zhou glanced at Zhu Qian and saw that she was stunned there. He did not greet her for the time being and looked at Tu Baiyao.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It is our honor to serve you."

Meng Zhou asked a few more questions about the preparations for the Dan Dan Ceremony, and then asked Tu Baiyao to leave first.

After Tu Baiyao left, Meng Zhou looked at Zhu Qian and said with a smile:

"Jussie, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Zhu Qian was a little surprised and a little panicked when she saw this man calling her so casually. She hurriedly said: "You...are you?...I don't know how you call me senior!"

Meng Zhou now has the appearance of "Ge Ping", so Zhu Qian naturally doesn't recognize him.

And just after Zhu Qian asked this question, her mouth suddenly opened slowly.

Because the man in front of him suddenly changed visibly to the naked eye, and soon turned into that very familiar figure.

"Zhuang...Fellow Taoist Zhuang?!" Zhu Qian stuttered.

However, there was still a hint of suspicion and inquiry hidden in her expression.

Meng Zhou smiled and said: "You have used nearly half of the life-saving means I gave you. It seems that you have experienced a lot these days."

After hearing this, Zhu Qian no longer had any doubts.

The originally tense state relaxed in an instant.

"It's really you, Fellow Daoist Zhuang... Oh, now I should change my name to Senior Zhuang. Congratulations on your success in forming the elixir!"

Thinking of the methods the other party showed when they parted, she had no doubt that "Zhuang Sheng" could successfully form the elixir.

I just didn't expect it to be so fast.

As for why the other party had two identities, although she was a little curious, she did not delve into it.

In the world of spiritual practice, it is not uncommon for people to have multiple identities. For someone to take the initiative to reveal this to her is already a very rare level of trust.

But soon, Zhu Qian remembered the business of the trip and said quickly:

"So, you asked the Jade Blood Army to find me?

Then the Jade Blood Army said that my teacher is here with you, is it true or false? "

Meng Zhou nodded, looked at Bai Zhi who was silently gathering strength next to him, and said, "She is your teacher."

Zhu Qian also looked at Bai Zhi, who was a little too beautiful, with an expression that suggested that she had made a mistake.

"Her? My teacher?"

But the next moment, she repeated the shocking action when she saw Meng Zhou transform.

Moreover, the changes in his expression were more drastic than ever.

I saw that the strange and beautiful female cultivator slowly turned into a familiar look.

She is in her thirties or forties, and although she is not stunningly beautiful, even half as good as Xu Wanzhen, who relies on her looks, she has a graceful demeanor and exudes a maternal brilliance.

It's this familiar smell.

In the past, when Zhu Qian saw her teacher for the first time, her first thought was to run over, hug her, and have some fun in her arms.

But this time, this emotion was suppressed by another emotion.

She widened her eyes, first looking at her teacher, and then at "Fellow Daoist Zhuang" sitting side by side with the teacher, an inexplicable feeling of indignation filling her chest.

"You... you..."

She stared with a pair of big eyes, glancing back and forth between the two of them, feeling wronged by Bala, like a little girl whose toy was roughly taken away, as if she was about to cry the next moment.

Meng Zhou waved his hand and dragged the master and apprentice directly into a room next to him. He sent a message to Bai Zhi and said, "If anything happens, master and apprentice, please explain it yourself."

After that, he closed the door with a bang.

Each room has a soundproof array, so as long as he doesn't pry, there will be no noise to disturb him.

So, as the door closed, Meng Zhou felt that the world became quiet.

Meng Zhou poured himself a cup of spiritual tea, shook his head gently, picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

This is why he chose to let Zhu Qian know that he is "Zhuang Sheng".

It's hard to say how much Zhu Qi cares about him, but there are definitely signs of it.

From now on, Bai Zhi will definitely stay in Sanchuan Yuan to practice with her.

In this case, Zhu Qian will most likely choose to stay in Sanchuan Yuan.

Based on her relationship with "Zhuang Sheng", she will definitely visit Zhuang Tianzhuang often in the future.

Meng Zhou didn't have the time to deal with her alone and play two roles.

Moreover, Zhu Qian's feelings for "Zhuang Sheng" may only be a sign now, and it is still a bit reluctant to even call her "affection".

But if there are more contacts, and more thoughts really arise, that is also possible.

Meng Zhou, however, had no idea of ​​dealing with the master here and the apprentice there.

This kind of low-level love between men and women is not as charming as the path of enlightenment.

It was precisely because of these thoughts that he dealt with the matter in such a direct way. What he wanted was to cut through the mess with a quick knife.

After drinking a pot of spiritual tea slowly, the closed door opened.

Zhu Qian rushed out first. When she passed by Meng Zhou, Meng Zhou asked, "Sit down and have a drink?"

Zhu Qian, who used to love tea, saw the two teacups on the table and said directly: "You two drink slowly."

Meng Zhou said: "Has your teacher made it clear to you?"

Zhu Qian nodded and said nothing.

"Then what are your plans?" Meng Zhou asked.

Zhu Qi looked at him and asked, "Will you let my teacher go?"

Meng Zhou smiled and said, "Why don't you ask your teacher if she is really willing to leave?"

Zhu Qian said in a muffled voice:

"Then besides staying in Sanchuanyuan, where else can I go?

Could it be that after she has you, she won’t even want me as her apprentice? ! "

Meng Zhou ignored the emotionally charged words behind her and nodded with a smile.

Zhu Qian took the initiative to choose to stay in Sanchuanyuan, which was the best choice for both herself and Bai Zhi.

The same is true for Meng Zhou, which can save him a lot of things.

"Then I'll give you a token and leave you a room here so that you can always be with your teacher?"

Zhu Qian shook her head like a rattle, "No, I'll go live outside and won't disturb you two."

After that, she headed directly towards the gate of the cave.

"Leaving so soon? Don't you really want to sit down and have a chat?"

Originally, she had no emotion at all, but seeing "Zhuang Sheng" look so nonchalant, as if he didn't know what was going on, she felt a little suffocated for no reason.

"No, I... I still need to report to the association and find a place to stay... You two can talk slowly."

It was not until Zhu Qian left that Bai Zhi appeared again. She looked at Meng Zhou and whispered:

"You used to have a good relationship with Sissi?"

When she said this, a blush appeared on her face, and she felt a sense of guilt and shame for having robbed her apprentice's man.

Meng Zhou glanced at her and said, "Where did you think you were? It's just that we can sit down and have a cup of tea and chat casually every now and then."

Bai Zhi said: "She asked me for the second-level member's token and magic weapon for you, and she also asked for the soul refining method of the 'Spiritual Tree Towering Map'... This is the only time she helped others through the back door."

Meng Zhou shook his head, but didn't say anything more about it.

Seeing him like this, Bai Zhi, who had a lot to say, finally stopped the topic.

After a while, she suddenly looked at Meng Zhou and asked, "Are you Ge Ping or Zhuang Sheng?"

Meng Zhou smiled and said, "Is this important?"

Bai Zhi's eyes widened, "But I can't even know who you are, right?"

"I'm sitting in front of you clearly, what's so confusing about this?

No matter 'Ge Ping' or 'Zhuang Sheng', they are just titles.

Does this mean anything to our relationship? "

Bai Zhi was a little confused by what he said, and felt that what he said made sense.

"Then...do you have any other titles?"

"You will naturally know if you have the opportunity in the future."

…

After tasting the benefits of sublimating the body refining method to the third level and integrating into the three-pole cycle, Meng Zhou naturally set his sights on the final soul refining method.

But after a month of enlightenment, Meng Zhou chose to give up.

It's not that the soul refining method can't advance to the third level, it's that he can't enter the third level in the way he wants.

If you just want to upgrade the soul refining method to the third level, it is not difficult.

It is much easier than upgrading the self-created body training method to the third level.

Now, he not only has the "Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers Map" originally obtained from Chairman Pan, but also the "Fierce Yang Zhengqi Map" recently obtained from the Sanchuan Society, and the third-level cultivation method of the "Lingmu Towering Map" provided by Bai Zhi , and the "Han Cicada Autumn Killing Picture" provided by the Blue Blood Army.

If he needs it, with the current energy of the Sanchuan Society and the Jade Blood Army, as long as they are given more time, they can provide him with more third-level soul refining methods as a reference.

But after careful understanding, Meng Zhou stopped asking them for the third-level soul refining method. At the same time, he even paused his own understanding of the third-level soul refining method.

Meng Zhou thought very clearly that what he needed was not to simply upgrade the existing soul refining method to the third level, so that the "jing", "qi" and "spirit" could all reach the third level balance to circulate in these three poles. get the most benefit from it.

That's not what he wants.

In his vision, the ultimate goal of the cycle of the three poles of essence, Qi and Shen is to integrate the three poles of Jing, Qi and Shen into one body.

Qi refining method, body refining method, and soul refining method will eventually be integrated into one "refining method".

Even though this idea is not realistic at this stage, efforts must be made in this direction.

As for now, the soul refining method is the most convenient to become the "glue" to integrate the characteristics of Qi refining and body refining.

Therefore, in his vision, this third-level soul refining method must not only possess the characteristics of the Spring Water Sutra, but also possess the essence of the Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill.

At the same time, the characteristics of the soul refining method itself cannot be lost.

After a month of understanding, the only gain is that this goal has been clarified.

After making this clear, Meng Zhou decisively stopped studying the soul refining method.

Because for now, this goal is impossible to achieve.

Let’s take a look at what the Qi Refining Method and the Body Refining Method are like now.

The method of refining qi is pieced together and patched together.

The body-refining method was created out of nothing, with only a rough framework.

They themselves are not "complete" yet, and it is naturally a dream to integrate their essence into the soul refining method.

Therefore, this matter can only be considered at least until the day when he has perfected the Chun Shui Sutra and Black Turtle Bearing Tablet True Skills and truly mastered them.

After making this clear, Meng Zhou naturally did not waste any more time on the soul refining method.

…

September, the fifth day of the lunar month.

The progress of cultivation is +315, and the first level of elixir formation is 1425/10,000.

Third-level Spring Water Sutra +2100, initial success is 8400/15,000.

Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill +2100, entry level 4200/7500.

…

"With this kind of cultivation efficiency, it's incredible."

After giving up his obsession with the soul refining method, Meng Zhou began to consider his next plan.

After putting aside the matter of comprehending the soul refining method for the time being, the most urgent idea in his heart is to increase the soul attack, soul defense, and more methods involving the soul.

And when he thought about the elixir formation celebration at the end of the month, Meng Zhou quickly had an idea in his mind.

"For such a big event, not to mention the monks from other places, all the foundations within the Sanchuan Plain will definitely attend."

If "Zhuang Sheng" hadn't appeared by then, this identity would not be far away from being completely abolished.

With his current ability, although he can move his true body, he can also control the activities of a spiritual lotus clone while being distracted.

But this will appear somewhat rigid and uncoordinated.

Moreover, there is a big problem with the Earth Spirit Lotus clone that he currently places in Zhuangtianzhuang. That is, he can only control the Earth Spirit Lotus clone by actively using his thoughts and connecting with the Earth Spirit Lotus clone.

Other times, the Earth Spirit Lotus clone is no different from a doll.

This will make the clone lack sufficient adaptability.

Meng Zhou, who often retreats and is immersed in various cultivation projects for a long time, cannot pay attention to the activities in Zhuangtianzhuang every now and then.

Therefore, his current method of using the Earth Spirit Lotus clone to maintain his presence in Zhuangtianzhuang can only have a temporary effect.

Over time, it will become less effective.

And this question, in the large amount of information inheritance of the Lihen Sect that he absorbed into the sea of ​​​​consciousness, there happened to be a ready answer.

At the beginning, when he was forming the elixir, the monk who was doing tricks in the dark and was caught by Ding Ning outside Sanchuan City turned out to be a fake elixir monk.

He was controlled by the demon cultivator who was good at using soul-devouring cold flames with his hands using an evil third-level secret technique called "distracting the soul and leaving the soul", turning him into a body that was half puppet and half avatar.

Only then did Ding Ning feel confused.

On the one hand, because of the third-level secret technique of "distracting the mind and separating the soul", the clone has the same performance as a third-level pill-forming monk in terms of soul.

On the other hand, that body only has fake elixir cultivation. Even if it burns the life essence and blood in a desperate situation and obtains a greater burst of strength for a short time, it still seems a bit "empty" compared with the real elixir.

It was this sense of difference that made Ding Ning, who had keen intuition, sense something was wrong with the opponent immediately after fighting against him.

But when she was asked to find a reason, she became confused.

Thinking like this, the black cloud of information that had been silent and formed over the Sea of ​​Consciousness Soul Pond after absorbing a large number of the inheritance jade slips of the Lihen Sect appeared again over the Sea of ​​Consciousness Soul Pond.

This time, Meng Zhou had a clear goal and only refined the secret technique of "distracting the mind and separating the soul".

In the inheritance of Lihen Sect, this secret technique can be classified as a category that is not so bloody but is known as an evil sect.

Therefore, with the cooperation of the Tongming Dao Body, Meng Zhou separated this secret technique inheritance from the black cloud of information in just five days.

Compared with the original version of "Distracting Mind and Separating Soul", his version has eliminated the bloody parts of invading and seizing other people's consciousness, devouring other people's souls, and manipulating other people's bodies.

It turned into a brand new version that was most suitable to his heart and best suited to his needs.

The original version involves too many aspects. If he really wants to practice the original secret technique, even if his mind is cold enough to ignore those bloody methods, just one point will make him have to give up.

That's leveling.

If he practices the original secret technique, he must level up with others.

Moreover, once you practice, you will lose one person.

There is no problem with leveling up with humans, but Meng Zhou is very doubtful that even if all the five domains within the known range are taken into consideration, even if he uses all the existences above the fake elixir within this range as leveling materials, it will not be enough for him. Cultivate this secret skill to perfection.

Meng Zhou's purpose was not to seize the bodies and manipulate the bodies of other monks, so he naturally chopped them off in a big way.

Only the parts that he thought were the best and most suitable for his needs were retained.

What he appreciates the most is that this "distracting the mind and separating the soul" method from the Lihen Cult does not require actual distraction.

From some anecdotal notes, Meng Zhou learned that there is no shortage of secret techniques and techniques of the type that distract the mind and separate the soul in the spiritual world.

These secret techniques may have different specific practice methods, but one thing is consistent, that is, one must cut off one's complete soul to some extent.

The more exquisite the secret method, the less the soul is divided, and the greater the effect.

On the contrary, a bad secret method will divide more souls, but the magical effect will not be very good.

But in Meng Zhou's view, the essence of this type of secret method, whether "exquisite" or "bad", is similar to the longevity secret method, which is to overdraw the future.

In fact, the harm of dividing the soul is even greater.

Because even with his current ability, he is basically powerless against injuries at the soul level, but he has mature experience in dealing with the secret method of burning life.

Therefore, at least for now, the damage caused by this splitting of the soul is still irreversible for him.

Practicing such secret techniques will leave permanent wounds on the soul level.

Maybe some secret techniques are so sophisticated that they only need to split a little bit of soul, but some people have very good foundation of soul and don't care about this loss at all.

But the secret method of Ruolihen Sect is also of this type. Even if it is exquisite, he will not practice it.

This was also the reason why he was truly impressed.

The Lihen Cult's "distraction and separation of souls" actually uses the lingering unruly divine will on the third-level statue of Lihen as a material. After some exquisite sacrifices and injecting your own thoughts, you can refine it into yourself. The "spiritual clone".

There is no need to divide a bit of the soul to achieve an effect that is not inferior to any method of distracting the mind and separating the soul.

…

Meng Zhou took out the third-level statue of Lihen that was obtained from the nest in the mountain, and felt the ownerless divine will lingering on the statue of Lihen.

At first, when he saw this statue, Meng Zhou's subconscious thought was: "Yaya is blessed."

At that time, he thought that the only purpose of this thing was to serve as Yaya's food rations.

Of course it's different now.

After sensing it carefully, Meng Zhou made a judgment in his mind.

"These masterless divine wills can create up to four divine soul clones."

This was enough for Meng Zhou.

According to the secret method, Meng Zhou used his spiritual consciousness as a knife to cut off a quarter of the ownerless spirit lingering around the third-level Lihen statue.

Then, he carefully "tanned" this wonderful thing that was like clouds and dough under the control of his spiritual consciousness.

Meng Zhou tried to inject his thoughts into it for the first time, but failed as expected.

Then the second time, the third time...

The powerful thing about the Tongming Dao Body is that every failure can become a nutrient for Meng Zhou to go further. He will not fall at the same place twice.

Under this progress, it only took Meng Zhou half a day to successfully inject his thoughts clearly and permanently into this "cloud" for the first time.

Third-level secret technique, distracting mind and soul, successfully getting started.

"Introduction to distraction and soul separation 50/7500".

Meng Zhou summoned a clone of the Heart-Conplexing Lotus, and under his will, this group of "spirit clones" actively penetrated into the clone of the Heart-Conplexing Lotus.

Then, Meng Zhou didn't do any more operations, and the Heart Confused Lotus clone started moving on its own.

He walks, sits and lies, and uses skills all smoothly.

Meng Zhou used his spiritual sense to sense it, and found that his spiritual sense could not penetrate at all, and would be blocked by another divine soul power outside of the Heart Confused Lotus clone.

Unless it is completely destroyed, this body is a "forbidden zone" that no one can visit.

And the "intelligence" of this "spirit clone" only depends on how much he is willing to give it through thoughts.

He hopes that it will be smarter and more flexible when encountering difficulties, and it will be smarter and more flexible.

If he wants it to be more dull and dull, it can be like a first-generation robot, mechanically executing some specific instructions.

Everything depends on him, the user of the secret technique.

Moreover, he can also "remotely control" it at any time and completely turn it into his own "cockpit".

All changes are due to his will.

Meng Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

I got started with this third level secret technique.

After the test, Meng Zhou had an idea and took out this group of "spirit clones" from the body of the Confused Heart Lotus clone, dispersed the thoughts injected into it, and turned it into raw materials again.

During this process, a strange light flashed in Meng Zhou's eyes.

He had a vague feeling that just when he dismissed this thought, there seemed to be an invisible vibration spreading inside this masterless mind.

It was like a hammer hitting an iron plate with lots of impurities.

Wu Zhu’s divine will seems to have become purer because of this.

"Is there such a benefit?" Meng Zhou was very surprised.

At the same time, Meng Zhou also had this thought in his mind:

"In other words, this so-called ownerless divine will is far from being as 'pure' as what the inherited information says."

"Is it an impurity? Or is it something deliberate?"

Meng Zhou felt there was something wrong here.

With the urinary nature of the Lihen Sect, there might be hidden means to suppress others like a "talisman of life and death".

However, there are these backhands hidden inside, which is no hindrance to him.

In fact, after his sorting and refining, the version of the "distracting the mind and separating the soul" technique that he is currently practicing has a huge difference from the original version. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are two completely different secret techniques.

Therefore, using the backhand buried in the old version of the secret method to target the old version of the practitioner against him who has practiced the new version of the secret method is equivalent to using the Shang Fang sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty, which is not realistic at all.

What's more, he can fundamentally eliminate this hidden danger.

When Meng Zhou injected his own thoughts into it for the second time and then dispersed it, another obscure ripple spread through the ownerless mind in his hand.

In this way, Meng Zhou injected ideas again and again, and took the initiative to disperse them again and again.

This masterless will is like rough iron full of impurities being repeatedly forged during this process.

Every day, Meng Zhou can complete twenty refinements and gain a thousand experience points.

Seven and a half days later, on September 18th, this third-level secret technique completed its entry-level accumulation and advanced to its first level.

"The initial score of distraction is 0/15,000."

And as his mastery of this secret technique reached its initial stage, his proficiency suddenly improved a lot.

Originally, it could only be completed twenty times a day, but it doubled to forty times, and the experience gained every day was also increased from one thousand to two thousand points.

On September 25th, Distracted Mind and Soul once again completed the initial accumulation and advanced to Xiaocheng.

The proficiency level increased again, from forty refinements per day to sixty times, and the experience gained every day also reached 3,000 points.

September 30th. early morning.

Meng Zhou stopped practicing on distraction and soul separation, walked out of the quiet room, and said to Bai Zhi: "Let's go."

"The small amount of distraction is 15,000/30,000."

And in the quiet room behind Meng Zhou, the soul clone that he had repeatedly forged and made extremely pure had been integrated into the Earth Spirit Lotus clone, and Tu Dun left the cave. (End of chapter)
