Leaving the range of Shrek City, Lin Ciyan was not in a hurry.

He restrained most of the Soul Power fluctuations, just like an ordinary traveling Soul Master, walking along the official road in the direction of Star Luo City unhurriedly.

The official road was full of cars and horses, and there was a steady flow of people.

There are caravans escorting goods, there are travelers who are tired of the journey, and there are also Soul Master like him who are traveling alone.

After leaving the "ivory tower" of the college, a more real and vivid world of fireworks came to my face.

His pace seemed leisurely, but in fact, every step he took followed a certain rhythm. His figure was erratic, and his speed was not slow.

This is the combination of the Breath Concealment Method taught by Mu En and one's own "Relaxation Domain" state. It is a combination of traveling and practice, focusing on high efficiency and energy saving.

As he walked, his outstanding temperament that could not be completely concealed even if he deliberately restrained himself, and Holy Radiance Qilin Martial Soul's own calming and peaceful aura, were still revealed inadvertently.

Once, he passed by a tea stall where he was resting. An old woman with her grandson was anxiously looking for her lost money bag.

Lin Ciyan just happened to be sitting next to him and resting. The little grandson, who was restless and crying, gradually stopped crying near him and looked at him curiously with his big dark eyes.

The old lady also calmed down in this inexplicable peaceful atmosphere, and finally found the money bag in the mezzanine of her luggage.

The old man thanked Lin Ciyan repeatedly. Although she didn't know the specific reason, she just felt that this handsome young man made people feel good about him.

Another time, the packhorse of a small caravan was frightened for some reason and almost hit a child on the roadside.

Lin Ciyan happened to pass by, he didn't even use Soul Power, he just looked at the frightened horse calmly.

Perhaps sensing the supreme and sacred breath of Martial Soul in his body, the restless packhorse miraculously became docile, snorted, and was held by the driver obediently.

"This little brother is really kind, like a lucky star." The leader of the caravan said sincerely, wiping his sweat.

Lin Ciyan maintained a gentle smile on his face, but was silently complaining in his heart:

"Good guys, 'Humanoid Auspiciousness', 'Walking Soother'... the passive effects of my Martial Soul are almost as good as the healing Soul Skill in the wild.

Wouldn't it be a waste of money to open a psychological clinic or animal training center?"

"However, this feeling of being naturally trusted by others and feeling that the world is a little better... is not bad at all."

He was not complacent about this, but instead became more determined to control this power. There is no good or bad power, the key lies in how to use it.

During the journey, in addition to understanding the world, Lin Ciyan also focused part of his energy on exploring his own Martial Soul newly awakened weak Five Elements control ability.

After the Glazed Light Realm absorbed Golden Hawksbill Turtle Soul Ring, he felt a trace of connection between himself and the basic Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth).

The evolutionary path of Holy Radiance Qilin seems to point to mastering the five virtues and harmonizing yin and yang.

He found a secluded valley to try.

With a thought in his mind, he tried to activate the power of "gold".

At the fingertips, an extremely thin, almost undetectable white-gold edge flashed away, carrying an indestructible determination.

The duration is less than one second, but Soul Power consumes a lot of money.

"Hmm... At present, it seems that the most you can do is add some 'Armor Breaking' enchantment to [Dawn Break Fist]?"

"Or strengthen the edge sharpness of [Eight-Part Light Wheel]? There is still a long way to go."

Then came "wood". He pressed his palm lightly on the grass on the ground, trying to stimulate its vitality.

After a while, the green grass grew slightly taller and taller at a speed barely visible to the naked eye, and the greenery in the leaf veins seemed to be half as thick.

"Treatment? Birthing? At present, the effect is not as good as if I just use a minimum [Grace of Bathing Light]."

"It seems that the use of life energy is far more complicated than imagined."

It's "water"'s turn.

He stretched out his hand towards the stream next to him and concentrated his thoughts.

An almost invisible ripple appeared on the surface of the stream, and a small handful of water swayed away from the main body, suspended, and then scattered with a "snap".

"Control water? Stop making trouble. With this kind of control, it's hard to even wash someone's face."

"Perhaps... in the future, we can combine the attributes of light to create some cool operations like 'Holy Light Bubble' or 'Refraction Phantom'?"

Then there's "fire".

He turned his palms upward and tried to concentrate.

A small cluster of orange-red flames popped out, swaying uncertainly, as if it would go out at any time, and the heat it emitted could only barely warm your hands.

"The fire derived from Ultimate Light should not be so weak... Is it a problem with the conversion efficiency, or do I not understand 'light and heat' enough? Can I create a 'Holy Flame' or a 'Purifying Flame' in the future?"

Finally, there is "earth".

He stepped on the ground and felt the pulse of the earth.

A piece of gravel beneath my feet trembled slightly, and then... nothing more.

"Defense? Gravity control? Earth sensing? Now... well, does it count to stand more firmly?"

After some attempts, Lin Ciyan has a clear understanding of his Five Elements basic abilities - there is still a long way to go.

"At the moment, it looks more like five branches have been opened in advance for the future skill tree, and each branch is still in a 'novice village' state."

"If you want to truly exert your power, you either have to wait until the Soul Emperor level or above, or you need a special opportunity or a long period of enlightenment and practice."

"However, the potential is huge. Imagine that in the future [Light Domain·Holy Radiance Sky Curtain] unfolds, the power of Five Elements in the field flows according to my mind, mutually reinforcing each other, trapping the enemy, weakening, amplifying, attacking... That picture is so beautiful!"

"Or, integrate the power of Five Elements into the existing Soul Skill? The power of golden sharpness strengthens the fist edge, the power of water and softness dissolves the impact, the power of fire and violence enhances the burst, the power of thick soil stabilizes defense, and the power of wood healing assists treatment... Hey, just think about it!"

He is full of expectations for the future.

This Five Elements basic control is like five dragon eggs waiting to be hatched. Once the shell is broken, it will definitely shock the world.

While Lin Ciyan was busy understanding and experimenting, deep inside Sea of Consciousness, Light Maiden Xiyao was falling into an unprecedented sweet sleep.

Since leaving Shrek City, who needed to be wary of the prying eyes of powerful people at all times, and confirming that the surroundings were safe, Xiyao has completely entered the "catch-up" mode.

In her words, she was "too nervous" at Shrek before, and now she needs to relax and regain the "baby-like sleep" she has needed for Soul Spirit for 300,000 years.

Her ghostly soul curled up in the center of Sea of Consciousness, wrapped in a soft halo, breathing evenly, with a peaceful and contented smile on her face, and occasionally smacking her lips unconsciously, as if she was having a sweet dream.

Lin Ciyan can feel that Xiyao's sleep is not meaningless.

Her soul Soul Power seemed to become more solid and purer during sleep, and her connection with her own Sea of Consciousness became even closer.

Perhaps, this is also a unique way of practice for her.

"Go to sleep, go to bed, Star Luo City will probably be busy when we get here." Lin Ciyan chuckled inwardly and did not disturb her.

Stop and go along the way, comprehend the practice, and feel the local customs and customs.

A few days later, after passing through a dense hilly area, the view suddenly widened.

On the distant horizon, the outline of an extremely majestic and majestic city came into view, like an ancient behemoth crawling on the earth.

The city wall is as tall as a mountain and stretches for an unknown number of miles. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it reflects a dark and solid luster.

Even though they are still thirty miles away, the majestic momentum of the imperial capital and the hustle and bustle of the bustling world are already coming towards you.

Star Luo City, arrived.

Lin Ciyan stopped and looked at the city that symbolized Star Luo Empire's center of power and wealth, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

"Gold of Life, I'm here. I hope this 'shopping' trip goes smoothly."

He adjusted his breathing, completely brought the aura around him to normal, took steps, and walked towards the huge city at an unhurried pace.
