Soul Cultivation Secret Method
Xiao Tianyi pulled her behind him, and from where she had been, a gaping maw with sharp teeth appeared.
Seeing the sudden attack, Xuan Qingying was still in shock. She usually just stayed in seclusion to refine medicine and had never experienced anything like this before.
Staring blankly at Xiao Tian, who instinctively shielded her behind him, she suddenly felt a sense of security.
Seeing that it hadn't bitten anyone, the figure that launched the attack instantly retreated into the ground.
Xiao Tian clenched his fist and punched the ground, instantly sending Thunder outwards along his fist.
About five meters away from the two of them, a huge gray lizard, about seven meters long, flew out from the ground.
"Earth Burrowing Giant Lizard."
Xiao Tian looked at the lizard in front of him and murmured softly.
This magical beast is Fourth Order Magical Beast. It usually lives underground and, as its name suggests, likes to burrow underground to sneak up and ambush. Its skin also has the effect of concealing its aura, and sometimes it can even kill Fifth Order Magical Beast by using sneak attacks.
"Hiss!"
The Earth Burrowing Giant Lizard hissed at Xiao Tian, sticking out its tongue, and then rapidly swung its front claws at the ground, sending dirt and stones flying. Its movements were swift and powerful, clearly indicating that it wanted to burrow back into the ground.
"Trying to run away after a sneak attack? No way!"
The Golden Red Ring in Xiao Tian's hand instantly transformed into a Long Halberd. In a Instantaneous Movement beside the giant lizard, brandishing the Long Halberd and slashing at its neck with fierce momentum.
The giant lizard swung its massive tail, creating a whistling sound, and lashed out at Xiao Tian Xiao Tian, attempting to force him to withdraw his attack.
"Get out of the way!"
"Xuan Qingying" called out anxiously.
"Bang!"
The giant tail instantly arrived beside Xiao Tian, but instead of hitting Xiao Tian, it passed through Xiao Tian body and slammed heavily onto the ground.
Xiao Tian reappeared on the other side of the giant lizard, flicking his Long Halberd at its tail.
The sharp Long Halberd severed the giant tail in the process. The giant lizard let out a shrill scream. The intense pain made it twist its body wildly, blood flowing continuously from the severed tail, which thrashed about on the ground.
Xiao Tian seized the opportunity, swung his Long Halberd again, and thrust it straight down at the giant lizard's head.
The Long Halberd pierced its skull in an instant, pinning it to the ground. After letting out an even louder scream, its body gradually stopped struggling, slowly slumped down, and showed no signs of life.
Xiao Tian drew his Long Halberd, gave it a gentle shake, and the bloodstains on Long Halberd flew off, leaving it clean again. The halberd head and fangs gleamed with a cold light.
With a thought, Xiao Tian transformed the Long Halberd back into a ring on his hand.
She curiously examined the ring in Xiao Tian's hand. She had never seen such a magical item before, and she was very curious about it. However, it was someone else's secret, and she did not intend to ask about it.
"As expected, danger lurks everywhere; one wrong step and you're in trouble."
Xiao Tian dared not relax this time, but maintained constant awareness of his surroundings, even underground.
The two continued on their way, and as the sun set and the moon rose, the entire forest fell into darkness.
"We can't go any further. The roads aren't safe at night, and visibility is even worse."
If it were just me traveling alone, traveling at night wouldn't be a problem. But right now, I'm Dou Emperor who's been taking medicine to recover from a soul injury.
It's probably too late. It's better to rest for now and recover your energy. Continuously releasing your Soul Power is also very taxing on your spirit.
"This is fine."
There were no hillsides or anything like that in the forest to build a stone chamber, so Xiao Tian chose what looked like the biggest tree in the area, hollowed it out, and created a small treehouse.
After eating a little something, Xiao Tian chose to continue cultivating and refining the Thunder Origin he had obtained from the daily check-in.
With this refinement of the source and the previous accumulation, he finally broke through to the fifth strand.
"Can I ask you for a favor?"
Just after Xiao Tian finished refining, a voice rang in his ears like a clear spring, low and gentle, yet carrying a hint of anticipation.
Xiao Tian slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in his gaze, and smiled, "Tell me what it is first."
"My soul was completely depleted after I refined this Medicinal Liquid, so I can't process Medicinal Liquid anymore. I need your help to suppress the dreamlike power within and guide it for me to absorb."
"Don't rush to refuse. As a reward, I can give you a Soul Cultivation Secret Method."
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation and a hint of anxiety, worried that Xiao Tian Xiao Tian refuse, so she wanted to tell him the reward directly.
"Do you know that once my soul particles enter your mind, I can even control or obliterate your soul?"
This was the first time Xiao Tian had ever heard of the Soul Cultivation Secret Method. Soul Skill were extremely rare, let alone those that cultivated the soul.
Xiao Tian's eyes narrowed as he stared at the pretty woman in front of him, a hint of amusement in his gaze.
"I believe you are not that kind of person, and killing me would be an easy thing for you."
Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, she couldn't help but tremble. Even though she was a very strong and confident person, she still couldn't help but panic when she heard such words.
"Okay, I can help you."
Xiao Tian looked at the woman in front of him; her face was pale, and she even looked quite pained. It seemed that refining medicinal herbs had made her condition even worse, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a request.
Upon hearing Xiao Tian agree to help her, a gleam of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Thank you," she said softly with a faint smile, her voice weak but full of gratitude.
What do I need to do?
Xiao Tian waved his hand and asked.
She then explained the procedure to Xiao Tian Xiao Tian and gave him a black scroll.
Xiao Tian opened the scroll, on which were written five words: Illusory Soul Meditation Art.
This technique involves cultivating a dreamlike state created by the soul.
After about fifteen minutes, Xiao Tian opened his eyes and couldn't help but marvel at how amazing this thing was. After cultivating for a while, he could clearly feel that his Soul Power had increased slightly.
Xiao Tian used his Dou Qi to envelop the entire tree hole, while also leaving a wisp of consciousness to observe the surroundings.
Inside the tree hollow, the two sat facing each other. She nodded slightly to Xiao Tian, indicating that she was ready.
Xiao Tian took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and focused all his attention on mobilizing the Soul Power in his mind.
"I'm about to begin, don't resist."
He extended two fingers to control the Medicinal Liquid to fly out of the Jade Bottle, then touched it to her brow, instantly sending it into her Sea of Consciousness.
Xiao Tian's finger followed suit and touched her brow. The moment it touched her, her body trembled slightly, and her eyelashes fluttered, expressing her inner panic.
This was the first time since I grew up that a man had touched my face.
"Calm your mind and don't let your thoughts wander."
Xiao Tian's voice echoed from inside the tree hollow. She quickly composed herself and got into the best possible state of mind.
Xiao Tian's surging Soul Power flowed through his fingers into her Sea of Consciousness. There, her soul sat Sea of Consciousness, but her entire Soul Body was extremely weak and transparent, almost on the verge of death, like Zhu Huo that could be extinguished at any moment.
Under Xiao Tian's control, the Medicinal Liquid covered her soul, instantly dyeing her with vibrant colors.
The Soul Body's eyes instantly became empty, as if its consciousness had vanished.
"A mere Illusion Spirit Power dares to act so arrogantly? Shatter!!"
