Soul training and body training are actually very similar. Body training is to train the physical body and physical strength to the extreme, while soul training is to hone the personal soul power to a higher quality.
Shi Jiu's soul power is very powerful, already much better than those at the peak of the Soul Realm, but it is only in terms of quantity. Relatively speaking, it is not very outstanding in terms of quality, and may not be as good as those at the peak of the Soul Realm.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand. As a cultivator, as your realm level increases, your strength will naturally increase, and your physical fitness and soul power will also become stronger accordingly. There are both quantitative changes and qualitative improvements. Compared with the monks at the peak of the soul realm, Shi Jiu is a few levels behind in realm level, and his soul power has been improved and changed a few times less, especially in terms of qualitative improvement. Although his soul power Powerful, not inferior to or even surpassed in terms of size, but inferior in quality.
However, with this millstone soul forging method, this problem can be easily solved.
This millstone soul-forging method is to use the millstone to crush and temper the soul power, transforming quantitative changes into qualitative changes, so as to move it to a higher level.
As for the specific method, you use your soul power to build a spiritual millstone in your own soul consciousness, and then place a special formation inside the millstone, and then guide your soul power to pass through the millstone to remove the bad and refine the essence, and continue repeatedly. The cycle continues.
Although the method is not difficult, most Shi Jiu can do it, but there is also a headache for him, that is, the core formation in the mill needs to add five kinds of innate spiritual energy or the power of heaven and earth. You must know that the innate spiritual energy is precious and hard to find, and there are five kinds of it, which is much more difficult than finding the sacred tree.
"Senior, it is not difficult to construct the spiritual millstone and formation in this soul forging method. I can do it, but where can I find this innate spiritual energy or the power of heaven and earth? To be honest, this thing is not as good as what I am looking for. The sacred tree is simple, and it will only become more difficult to find. "The previous joy suddenly disappeared, and Shi Jiu looked completely sad.
"Little guy, why are you depressed? You should be having fun secretly." Venerable Fuyun looked at the other party's mournful expression, but smiled and said: "I have heard of this millstone soul forging method back then, it can be said that it is It is a method of tempering soul power that is most suitable for people in the Soul Realm. It is definitely something to be happy about if you can get it."
"This millstone soul-forging method is very good, but where can I get five kinds of innate spiritual energy? Looking for a kind of sacred tree has already given me a headache, and now I have to find five more innate spiritual energy. This is really... "
"You little guy, you don't have to complain about difficulties, but try your best to solve them." Venerable Fuyun rolled his eyes at Shi Jiu, and then sighed like a good man who will do his best to the end: "Why do you let me touch it?" Now that you, a brat like you, want me, the person in the painting, to worry about everything? Forget it, who asked me to ask for anything from you?"
"Senior, you want to help me? Great! Where can I find this innate spiritual energy?" Shi Jiu heard the tone of the other party's words and immediately beamed with joy and asked in a flattering manner.
"We'll talk about this later. You first build the spiritual millstone and core formation in your soul consciousness sea."
"Ah? You want to start now?" Shi Jiu said in surprise.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you do it quickly?" Venerable Fuyun said angrily.
"Yes, yes, do it now!"
Shi Jiu sat cross-legged, then closed his eyes tightly and returned his mind to the sea of consciousness.
In a silver sea of soul consciousness, Shi Jiu's soul villain opened his eyes, then moved his hands and began to quickly build a spiritual millstone. This was not difficult. After a while, an earthy yellow millstone was completed, followed by the millstone. The core formation within.
This formation is called the Five Mysterious Spiritual Energy Formation. It is in the shape of a five-pointed star. It is not difficult to make. After spending half an hour, Shi Jiu successfully constructed it.
"Venerable Fuyun, I have already prepared the millstone and the Five Mysterious Spiritual Energy Formation." After opening his eyes, Shi Jiu said.
"Yes, I understand." Venerable Fuyun nodded, then waved his hand, and the Dark Star Gourd not far away immediately floated over.
"Senior, do you plan to use this Dark Star Gourd?"
"Otherwise? Don't you want innate spiritual energy? This Dark Star Gourd is an innate spiritual object. It has its own innate spiritual energy, so it can be used just right. Don't worry, I will only take a small part, which is enough for the Five Mysterious Spiritual Energy Formation. , it won’t hurt Dark Star Gourd.”
As he spoke, Venerable Fuyun gently turned his palm at the mouth of the Dark Star Gourd, and a gray mist floated out from it.
"Don't be dumbfounded, quickly use your soul power to guide this mist into the Five Mysterious Spiritual Energy Formation." Lord Fuyun urged.
The next moment, Shi Jiu separated a ray of soul power from the sea of soul consciousness. After wrapping up the gray mist floating out of the Dark Star Gourd, it went straight into his forehead.
"So comfortable!"
Shi Jiu shouted unconsciously.
When this innate mist entered his soul consciousness sea, a small part of it was directly absorbed, making him feel comfortable.
"Little guy, don't absorb it yourself." Venerable Fuyun's voice sounded in your ears.
Shi Jiu suddenly became alert and woke up from his comfortable feeling.
"I almost missed the point."
In the sea of consciousness, Shi Jiu's soul villain directed his soul power to inject the wrapped innate mist into a corner of the Five Mysterious Spiritual Energy Formation. After all the innate mist entered, he began to guide the Five Mysterious Spiritual Energy Formation and the spiritual millstone to slowly move closer and merge. Everything went smoothly. Under the guidance of the soul power, the Five Mysterious Spiritual Energy Formation submerged into the spiritual millstone without any hindrance.
"Senior, it's successful!" Shi Jiu shouted in surprise.
The smooth integration of the Five Mysterious Spiritual Energy Formation and the Spiritual Millstone also heralded the formation of the soul forging method. Even he himself did not expect it to be so smooth.
"Of course, it is not difficult to practice the soul forging method. The difficulty lies in collecting five kinds of innate spiritual energy or the power of heaven and earth. And as long as one of the innate spiritual energy is collected, this spiritual millstone can be used. Although the effect It’s almost, but it’s just right for someone like you who is practicing the soul-forging method for the first time.” Venerable Fuyun said.
"So, I can practice now?" Shi Jiu asked in surprise.
"Yes, you can do it now." Venerable Fuyun nodded, "But I have to remind you that this spiritual millstone crushing the soul power can be very painful, especially for a first-time practitioner like you. You have to Be mentally prepared.”
"Senior, don't worry. I have already prepared for this. Only through hardship can one become a master. The same goes for cultivation."
"It's good to know."
After that, Shi Jiu started his first attempt, slowly guiding the ubiquitous soul power in the sea of consciousness to converge towards the hole in the center of the spiritual millstone, and then separated a ray of soul power to push the rotation of the spiritual millstone.
The next moment, screams sounded.
"Ah! It hurts me so much!"
Shi Jiu pressed his painful cheeks tightly with both hands and knelt on the ground involuntarily. In the sea of soul consciousness, the spiritual millstone also stopped turning.
"Little guy, you said you were ready, why did you stop now?" Venerable Fuyun beside him laughed.
"Senior, this hurts too much, it really hurts my heart!"
"Of course, it may be easier to temper your soul power, but this pain is necessary. Wait, you don't want to give up, do you?"
"How is it possible! Continue now, I don't believe it, I can't bear this pain?" Shi Jiu was stimulated, and immediately let go of his hands, concentrated into the sea of soul consciousness, and turned the spiritual millstone again.
This time, Shi Jiu did not scream. The expression on his face was very painful, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.
One minute, two minutes... five minutes... ten minutes...
Just when he was approaching his limit, Venerable Fuyun's voice sounded again.
"Okay, that's it for today."
As soon as the words fell, Shi Jiu collapsed on the ground like a deflated rubber ball, his clothes already soaked with sweat.
"Little guy, you performed well and exceeded my expectations." Venerable Fuyun nodded with satisfaction.
"The exercise of soul power is like practicing the Beiming Breathing Technique. It is not a one-day event, but a long-term behavior. Try to practice it every day. When you can get used to it, the mental millstone will turn on its own even if you don't take the initiative. Rise up and temper your soul power."
"Really?" Shi Jiu was doubtful.
"Don't believe it? Then you should have a good experience of the changes in the inner body and body." Venerable Fuyun said with a smile.
As a result, Shi Jiu once again focused his mind and restrained his consciousness, carefully observing and understanding the changes in himself and the Hades in his body.
Sure enough, after a while, he exclaimed in surprise: "This is the Beiming Breathing Technique, it actually operates autonomously."
At this moment, Shi Jiu discovered that the Ming Yuan in his body was operating according to a special law, and this law was a unique manifestation of Bei Ming's breathing method.
"That's right, it's Beiming Breathing Technique. Because you have practiced this technique for a long time, your body muscles have memory, so even if you don't actively practice it, it will operate automatically. However, the efficiency of this autonomous operation is relatively low, not as good as yours. Active cultivation is so efficient, and the millstone soul-forging method is the same. When your soul power and sea of consciousness can fully adapt and get used to it, the mental millstone will also start to rotate on its own. "
"I see. From then on, I will practice this soul-forging method every day to adapt myself to it as soon as possible."
"Okay, I have one last thing to remind you." Venerable Fuyun said.
"Senior, please speak, kid, listen carefully."
"Aren't you looking for four kinds of innate spiritual energy? For one of them, you'd better choose the power of heavenly tribulation."
"The power of heavenly calamity? Is this a kind of power of heaven and earth?"
"Well, that's right." Venerable Fuyun affirmed: "As for why you should choose it, the reason is very simple. The power of heavenly tribulation is the most effective in tempering the body and soul. It is better than other innate spiritual energy, and compared with Compared with other innate spiritual energy and the power of heaven and earth, the power of heavenly tribulation should be easier for you to obtain. "
"Senior, do you mean that when others are going through the tribulation, I will run to the side to attract a tribulation to come down and absorb it?" Shi Jiu opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief.
"That's what it means. Of course, you can also use the power of the heavenly tribulation when you are overcoming the tribulation." Venerable Fuyun said with a smile.
"Okay, I understand, then I'll try my best."
Shi Jiu reluctantly nodded, but in his heart he obviously rejected this kind of death-seeking behavior. Regardless of whether others would be willing to let him stay aside when they went through the tribulation, this behavior alone was enough to cause the tribulation to retaliate. With his current cultivation Given his strength, it is estimated that a single catastrophe can destroy him both physically and mentally.
Shi Jiu is well aware of how powerful the Heavenly Tribulation is. Half a year ago, he had watched Dong Tianling of the Shuntian Escort Bureau survive the Tribulation, and he had experienced the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation up close. But even so, he could not Don't dare to make excessive moves. The majesty of the Heavenly Tribulation cannot be easily provoked.
"Little guy, I know what you are thinking. The Heavenly Tribulation is certainly dangerous, but if you can really absorb the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, the benefits will definitely satisfy you. If you want to maximize the effect of the soul forging method, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation It is undoubtedly the best choice." Venerable Fuyun said solemnly.
"Of course, if you can find other innate spiritual energy, that's fine too. The choice is yours."
"Senior, don't worry. I know exactly what to do and I won't let you down." Shi Jiu nodded solemnly.
"As long as you know what's going on, it's time for me to continue sleeping." After saying that, Venerable Fuyun stepped back into the portrait and disappeared.
Afterwards, Shi Jiu also left the Sumeru space and returned to the inn room.
