A day later, Jiang Liu appeared in a small mountain range. This mountain range was very strange; it was a large, bare area without a single tree or even much weed.
Jiang Liu arrived here while chasing an Exotic Beast, an eighth-grade Exotic Beast called the Swift Cat. It was known for its speed. Jiang Liu encountered it in a bamboo forest and accidentally got scratched, which enraged Jiang Liu. He increased his speed to chase after it, but it still managed to escape.
As it was getting dark, and since there wasn't much else to do here, I decided to rest for the night. Luckily, I hadn't thrown away the rabbit I had hunted earlier, just in case things turned out this way.
He began by skinning the rabbit, removing its internal organs, and using his right hand to circulate his vital energy to create water. He then cleaned the rabbit, rubbed it with salt and spices, and finally stuck a sword into it. Holding the sword in his left hand, he circulated his vital energy in his right hand, and flames shot out from his fingers. Carefully controlling the size of the flames, he began to roast the rabbit meat. (Do you all like this way of having a picnic? Only those who have cultivated all five elements can do this.)
After Jiang Liu had a hearty meal, he began to meditate and cultivate, holding the beast core in both hands. Around 7 PM, a chilling sensation suddenly appeared in his mind.
Jiang Liu immediately snapped out of his cultivation, dispersed his consciousness, but gained nothing. He only felt a persistent sense of oppression.
After about fifteen minutes, still without any results, Jiang Liu resumed his meditation practice.
Not long after, Jiang Liu immediately sensed something was wrong. He saw white mist spreading out of nowhere, and within the mist, a long-haired woman with her face covered by long hair and dressed in white was silently drifting towards Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu dispersed his consciousness but was completely unaware of it, always feeling a sense of oppression in his heart.
Suddenly, a warning thought struck me, and my body instinctively leaned backward. I pushed off with my feet, and my body flew backward like an arrow. After flying a distance, I finally stopped and stood up.
He stared wide-eyed at the spot where he had just been meditating, then focused his consciousness to investigate that area.
Only then could I vaguely make out a person dressed in white, with disheveled hair, pretending to be a ghost.
Jiang Liu immediately flew into a rage, unleashing Tiger Subduing Fist. His vital energy transformed into a tiger-like phantom that shot towards the man, unleashing its special ability, Tiger's Fury, which sent a fierce tiger aura crashing down on him.
The man froze in place. Jiang Liu darted forward and unleashed a powerful Frost Nether Palm strike at the man's head.
With a "crack!", the man's body shattered into pieces, like a block of ice.
Jiang Liu, still not satisfied with seeing her dead, stomped on her. Hmm? There was a book among the shredded clothes? Jiang Liu had thought everything would shatter under the freezing temperature. But there was still a book!
Picking up the book, Jiang Liu noticed its unusual material. It wasn't ordinary paper; it must have been a special kind of animal hide. Upon opening it and seeing the words "Soul Technique," Jiang Liu's eyes lit up.
Soul Technique: At the beginning of humanity, the soul is paramount. Only when a person gathers all three souls can their essence, energy, and spirit unite, directly reaching the Great Dao. Therefore, this technique, specifically designed for cultivating and strengthening the human soul, has been created based on the individual's nature. Soul Daoist. Below are a series of important points to note.
Jiang Liu ignored it and casually flipped through the entire Soul Technique book. "Ding! Found Heaven Grade, Peak Rank cultivation technique, Soul Technique! Add it to your collection?" Yes.
After habitually adding it to his inventory, Jiang Liu was startled when he saw "Heaven Grade, Peak Rank"! Is Soul Valley really that powerful?
Jiang Liu pondered to himself, "The Soul Technique is a cultivation method of the Soul Valley, and it's already Heaven Grade, Peak Rank. What about the Three Sects? They must have it too. Otherwise, how could they always be the leaders?"
With a thought, Jiang Liu conjured a deep blue light screen.

Upon seeing the cultivation method for the Soul Technique, a headache immediately arose. ***Is this something a normal person could come up with? Because the cultivation method of the Soul Technique is different from ordinary cultivation methods; it doesn't involve refining vital energy.
The so-called three souls refer to the three souls of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Only when the three souls become stronger and stronger can one advance to the level of a Grandmaster and resist inner demons more easily, thus achieving the goal of stepping into the realm of a Grandmaster in one step.
The three souls of Heaven, Earth, and Man all refer to a person's spiritual power. The Heavenly Soul and Earthly Soul exist outside the human body, while only the Human Soul resides within. As for how to cultivate them, the Heavenly Soul is cultivated at noon, and the Earthly Soul at midnight. Each cultivation session lasts for one hour.
Because of their long-term Soul Refining techniques, the people of Soul Valley appear undetectable to the mind and seem neither human nor ghost. Although the people of Soul Valley are weak in strength, their spiritual power is very strong.
If Jiang Liu hadn't happened to use Tiger's Roar, that person probably wouldn't have been so easy to deal with.
Jiang Liu continued meditating and cultivating for a while. When midnight arrived, Jiang Liu began his first Soul Refining Technique.
Jiang Liu lay on the spot with his mouth wide open, his palms pressed to the ground, and his eyes tightly closed. Following the special operating method of the Soul Technique, he spread his consciousness to capture the Spirit Power Particles floating around him, and then sucked them into his mouth, as if he were eating.
This was indeed the best place to Soul Refining Techniques. Jiang Liu immediately felt his mental strength increase significantly. Sure enough, the system displayed that his proficiency in Soul Techniques kept jumping (1/460), (2/460)...
