Fang Lin first smelled a light and sweet fragrance, similar to jasmine tea.
Then everything went black.
It wasn't the darkness on Ye Lingling's body, but rather her consciousness being forcibly pulled into a dark space.
Then a silvery lake appeared before them. Upon closer inspection, the "lake" was actually misty, with specks around its edges that continued to dissipate.
"What you are feeling now is the Sea of Consciousness, which is vast, more than three times larger than mine."
Ye Lingling's voice echoed from the depths of my mind.
Fang Lin regained his sight; the girl had already stepped back, her face beneath the veil appearing somewhat tired.
"Does having this allow me to cultivate Spiritual Power?" Fang Lin asked.
Soul Power cultivation involves entering a meditative state and allowing the Soul Power within the body to flow and be transported along the meridians. I don't know how Spiritual Power cultivation takes place.
Ye Lingling nodded.
"The method is very simple. You visualize the Sea of Consciousness in your mind, let it disperse as much as possible, and then condense and compress it. In this process, your Spiritual Power will be tempered."
Be careful to manage the time; this process will also drain your energy. If your Sea of Consciousness wanders, you won't be able to get back on track, and that would be terrible.
"Thank you."
Fang Lin was deeply grateful for the teachings he received, but unfortunately, he had no way to repay them.
Throughout the entire book, Fang Lin only knew that Tang San's Purple Demon Eye could achieve the method of cultivating Spiritual Power. Buddha Tang Lian and the Shrek members had never shared it, let alone Fang Lin himself.
In contrast, Ye Lingling appears much more selfless; beneath her cold demeanor lies a passionate heart.
"It's nothing, the method is simple, the main thing is how strong your Spiritual Power is."
Ye Lingling's unassuming attitude made Fang Lin even more ashamed, so he could only bring up Ning Tianze's actions.
"If there's anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know."
Fang Lin patted his chest, looking ready to go through fire and water.
"Maybe... it really will happen." Ye Lingling paused slightly, "But not now, or perhaps we won't need it."
Fang Lin sensed the story in Ye Lingling's expression.
Although he also had wine in his storage ring, Ye Lingling did not want to share it.
Even at such a young age, he enjoys being a riddle solver. If Fang Lin were Yu Feng, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
As Fang Lin left Ye Lingling's room, he sighed with emotion.
Thinking about it, he seems to owe Ye Xinhua a favor, and now he owes Ye Lingling one too. These two aunt and niece really shouldn't fight, otherwise he'll be seen as ungrateful.
Having obtained the method, Fang Lin couldn't wait to return to his room and try it out.
Turning around, I noticed that the door next to Ye Lingling's room was also open, with a long, fair leg resting on the threshold.
"What were you doing in Ye Lingling's room so late at night?"
Dugu Yan's eyes held a strong thirst for knowledge, not the kind of gossipy gaze one might have with a close friend, but rather the scrutiny of a guard watching a prisoner.
"Let's go see the sea."
Fang Lin's gaze was also filled with a strong thirst for knowledge. Given the distance from the fair toes to the hem of the skirt, how long is the leg in front of him?
"This is Heaven Dou City, where did this sea come from?" Dugu Yan was taken aback by Fang Lin's words.
"Look at the sea here." Fang Lin tapped his temple, adopting a mysterious expression. "Perhaps you'll understand when you reach the Soul King or Soul Emperor realm."
Soul Master's Soul Power increases, their Spiritual Power will also improve.
According to this understanding, everyone will one day perceive Spiritual Power.
The academy had not taught any knowledge about the Sea of Consciousness; either they were unaware of it, or it was not appropriate for someone of their level to know.
"Nonsense!" Dugu Yan's eyebrows shot up, and she slammed the door shut, but then suddenly opened it again, revealing a charming and playful face. " Soul Master of the Nine Heart Begonia don't marry outside the family. If you really have designs on Ye Lingling, you'll have no choice but to marry into her family."
The Heaven Dou Empire follows traditional patriarchal clan rules. For example, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only requires that the spouses of direct descendants be Battle Soul Master, rather than forcing them to marry into the family.
However, the Nine Heart Begonia lineage is passed down through a single son, and to maintain its tradition, the only option is for the son-in-law to marry into the woman's family.
Your grandfather's idea is even more outrageous.
Fang Lin muttered something, but Dugu Yan couldn't hear him anymore. The long-legged beauty slammed the door shut again after she finished speaking.
Back in his room, Fang Lin attempted to cultivate his Spiritual Power.
The misty lake in my consciousness began to dissipate from its outer edges, turning into specks of firefly light. The area gradually expanded, and after reaching a certain point, it gathered, condensed, and compressed again.
This process is repeated.
About half an hour later, a feeling of fatigue washed over me.
However, that spiritual lake has not changed significantly.
According to Ye Lingling, once the Sea of Consciousness is awakened, it can be tempered independently, and this process is divided into four levels.
Like a gentle stream, like a tranquil lake, like a mighty river, and like a boundless ocean, Fang Lin was currently in the second realm, still several lakes away from reaching the great river.
This statement is somewhat similar to Tang San's four realms of the Purple Demon Eye... Just as Fang Lin was about to exit the spiritual world, a voice came to his ears.
" Brother Lin, can you stop staring at me like that? It's giving me the creeps."
From Yu Feng's perspective, Fang Lin just sat on the bed, his eyes vacant, as if his consciousness was scattered, his eyes dimming and brightening repeatedly.
A fine layer of goosebumps crept up from his tailbone to his neck, and Yu Feng finally couldn't help but speak.
"What do you mean by spacing out? I'm cultivating!"
Fang Lin wanted to share his philosophy about watching the sea, but Yu Feng was just a novice and couldn't grasp it.
During his match against the Seven Luminaries Team, Fang Lin first experienced the effects of Spiritual Power.
The most obvious benefit is the increased reaction speed. If it weren't for the special Soul Skill of that Heavy Hammer Soul Master, Fang Lin could have defeated him with just his moves.
Secondly, it will also provide resistance if one encounters Soul Master with mental abilities in the future. In the original book, there are quite a few Soul Master with mental abilities, and there is even a special Canghui Academy.
"Physical enhancement can be achieved with Whale Rubber and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, while Soul Power can be increased by upgrading Soul Ring to a higher level. Spiritual Power can be improved gradually with the help of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew."
Fang Lin was very satisfied with this comprehensive hexagonal development strategy.
After a night's rest, the Soul Fighting continues.
Over the next month, the Imperial Fighting Team participated in fifteen Soul Fighting, and even with two Soul Grandmaster in the team, they still achieved a winning streak.
The team's Soul Fighting was thus promoted to the Bronze Soul Fighter Badge, with a total score of 555 points.
During this period, Fang Lin's Soul Power broke through to level 36 as scheduled, and Yu Feng also broke through to level 30, about to usher in the crucial Third Soul Ring for Flight System Soul Master.
With the ability to fly, the support and backline-targeting capabilities of the Yu Feng will be greatly enhanced, making team battles much easier for the Imperial Fighting Team.
Following this trend, the Imperial Fighting Team will, just as Fang Lin remembers, achieve a winning streak and obtain the Silver Soul Badge.
"I should have placed a bet from the beginning; the loss was too great."
Fang Lin was heartbroken.
The rules of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena that teams with ten or more consecutive wins or Silver Soul Badge can enter the main Soul Fighting Arena for Soul Fighting, and betting odds will be available, with the odds determined by the team's win rate.
The Imperial Fighting Team has been on a winning streak, and the odds have dropped to 1:1.4. That is, if you bet 100 Gold Soul Coin, you will only get 140 back, and you will also have to pay the Great Soul Arena a 10% handling fee.
Even with the odds for the Imperial Fighting Team lowered, many people still placed bets, as evidenced by the excitement and shouts from the audience during each Soul Fighting.
"It's not too late now. There are still at least a dozen more matches to get the Silver Soul Badge. I have to earn the money from the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue."
According to information from the Seven Treasures Pavilion, a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue Whale Rubber that is 12,000 years old appeared in the auction house of Vast Sea City and was eventually sold for 30,000 Gold Soul Coin.
However, this is only for reference. According to Ning Yuanzhi, the starting price for that 12,000-year-old Whale Rubber was originally only 10,000, but it was eventually snatched up to 30,000. Nobody knows what the price of the next piece will be.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin slammed his fist on the table in anger. To inflate prices over such a trivial matter was utterly absurd!
According to the rules of the Great Soul Arena, participating Soul Master are prohibited from betting on their own matches, and their family members are also prohibited from doing so.
Fang Lin had no acquaintances in Heaven Dou City, so after much thought, he could only consult with Yu Feng, who loved making friends.
You want me to find someone to place bets for us?
Yu Feng's first reaction was that Fang Lin was planning to throw the match, and he looked troubled. "This isn't a good idea, is it? Teacher Qin will kill me if she finds out, and what about Sister Lingling..."
"Who said I was going to throw the match?" Fang Lin glared, then whispered, "I'm telling you to find someone to bet on us winning, until we advance to the Silver Soul Fighter level."
"Winning a match in the main Soul Fighting Arena grants a subsidy of 500 Gold Soul Coin. We've currently saved 2,500 Gold Soul Coin. At odds of 1:1.4, and continuing this process of exponentiation..."
Fang Lin counted on his Yu Feng for a while, and there was only one conclusion.
Getting rich is just around the corner!
Yu Feng frowned, pondered for a while, and then a ruthless look appeared on his face, as if he had decided to burn his bridges.
"Done! Brother Lin! I'll have my grandpa transfer the money to me right now!"
