Chapter 196: Chapter 183: Corpse Soul Manor, Phoenix Platform Dragon Throwing (Two in One)

Song Lin stepped outside and summoned Wang Ziyue and Lu Qian.

"I have some talismanic techniques to teach you."

Inside the grand hall, Song Lin sipped his tea and spoke candidly.

"Talismanic techniques?" Lu Qian’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. "But... I’m not very skilled with talismanic techniques."

"Not at all. These are talismanic refining techniques. With this method, you won’t need to specifically gather materials or set up large-scale altars to refine Yellow Turban Warriors or Yang Thunder Captains anymore. In the future, you’ll only need to set up an altar and draw talismans."

"Furthermore, I also have a technique for the Tai Chi Thunder Seal. Once you’ve cultivated a single Taoist Soldier, you’ll be able to summon the appropriate number directly using the Tai Chi Thunder Seal."

"This... this is a divine artifact!" Wang Ziyue’s eyes lit up. No one understood the significance of the Tai Chi Thunder Seal better than him.

When combined with the Temple Emperor Seal, the refining speed would greatly increase.

With the addition of the Tai Chi Thunder Seal, the threshold for refining soldiers might further decrease.

Previously, people could directly summon Rampant Soldiers through the Temple Emperor Seal, but Yellow Turban Warriors and Yang Thunder Captains required prior refining efforts.

The refined quantity would directly correspond to the summoned quantity.

For example, if the collective efforts of the Taoist Temple resulted in 500 Yellow Turban Warriors, the number summoned could never exceed that limit.

If these Taoist Soldiers were to perish, you could simply spend True Qi to re-summon them.

"It would’ve been great if the temple master had developed the Tai Chi Thunder Seal sooner," Lu Qian sighed.

Back then, there was an overhaul plan for the Yellow Turban Warriors that consumed significant manpower and resources from the Taoist Temple.

Things are different now. All it takes is cultivating one soldier, and then more can be summoned through the Tai Chi Thunder Seal.

Of course, the quantity is still subject to limitations.

The Tai Chi Thunder Seal is divided into levels, generally tied to the cultivator’s strength—stronger cultivators can summon higher numbers of Taoist Soldiers.

"In any case, start researching this. Oh, and there’s also a Divine Power of Heaven and Earth Manifestation technique you can study when you have time."

After giving these instructions, Song Lin urged the group to continue their seclusion.

Besides refining soldiers, the priority was to push these top cultivators to break through the Divine Establishment stage as soon as possible.

At this moment, Gu Yuchan was also included in the seclusion roster.

If Gu Yuchan successfully entered the Nourishing Yuan Stage, which is equivalent to the Divine Establishment Period, it would prove that this path was viable.

Song Lin could guide more people to cultivate in this way.

After all, not everyone desired to exhaust themselves trying to refine Qi and break through Divine Establishment.

Shi Yinhua, for instance, had repeatedly asked Song Lin for time off to travel and search for spirit-refining treasures.

If the Taoist Temple weren’t short-handed, Song Lin wouldn’t have delayed his request for so long.

"Wait! Perhaps the Blessing Ceremony could provide some clues," Song Lin suddenly realized.

The greatest challenge in finding pure Qi for spirit-refining lay in locating its origin.

Most of the time was spent on this task.

Thinking about it, Song Lin took out the jade pendant from the Blessing Ceremony, his spirit entering the connected world.

Crash!

Song Lin transformed into the Eastern King, wearing a bird-patterned mask.

Inside the grand hall, people stood in scattered groups, each wearing masks of various designs.

Song Lin felt somewhat uncomfortable; ever since learning the Heavenly Venerate’s true intentions, he rarely interacted with the Blessing Ceremony.

Nobody knew exactly what the Heavenly Venerate intended to do, but it certainly wasn’t something good.

Scanning the room, Song Lin spotted a familiar face.

"Huh? Xuan Lady!"

The so-called Xuan Lady was none other than Yun Xiao from the Spirit Treasure Sect.

Perhaps she could provide insight into the location of the pure Qi needed for spirit-refining.

"Long time no see," Xuan Lady slowly approached.

"I’ve been in seclusion recently, so I haven’t had the chance to attend."

"Taoist friend, do you have any new cultivation techniques for exchange?"

Xuan Lady got straight to the point. For some reason, she felt that this Eastern King seemed profoundly mysterious, as though he were an expert in every system and type of technique.

"I do. I need locations that contain pure Qi related to yin energy or death energy—five places at least."

There couldn’t be just one location; otherwise, others staking out the area might expose his plans.

"I know of five places: two in Lingnan, and three within the Heaven and Earth Taoist Sect."

"Excellent!"

In this exchange, Song Lin traded a method from the Altar Temple World for Divine Service to Yun Xiao.

This technique would likely never see the light of day, so handing it to Yun Xiao was fine; she was an old acquaintance, after all.

Spirit Treasure Sect.

Inside the warm fox-fur resting chamber of Furong Palace.

Yun Xiao reclined lazily on the bed, her flowing hair cascading down, thin garments draping over her delicate frame, her slender hand holding a jade scroll.

"Divine Food Fragrance Skill... interesting. Eastern King, who exactly are you?" Yun Xiao murmured to herself.

The fundamental cultivation technique of Yun Xiao was called All Heavens Cloud Seal 72 Transformations.

This technique allowed for seventy-two types of transformations and the cultivation of seventy-two different systems of ultimate skills. To achieve this, she continually gathered techniques from various systems.

The Eastern King was the person she had encountered with the most extensive repertoire of spell systems.

Some systems were entirely unfamiliar, as though from another world.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao burned a piece of talisman paper, out of which a wisp of blue smoke emerged.

"Go investigate those five locations."

In truth, the chances were slim—three of the five locations were highly classified, known only to members of the Spirit Treasure Sect.

Once they were searched, they could provide clues about the Eastern King.

The remaining two locations, however, were widely known. One such place, Corpse Soul Manor, even had an entry fee; anyone could access it to absorb pure Qi, ranging from second to sixth rank, all dependent on luck.

"Then it’ll be the Corpse Soul Realm!"

Back in the grand hall, Song Lin gave his decision to Shi Yinhua.

"Tomorrow, hand over your duties to Wang Ziyue. Then, collect ten thousand dharma coins from the warehouse to purchase entry and prepare to set off for spirit-refining."

Song Lin looked at Shi Yinhua.

"This... isn’t that too extravagant?" Shi Yinhua felt uneasy, thinking he owed the temple master too much.

"It’s fine. You’ve worked hard during this period."
