Feeling that the soul mist hadn't fully emerged yet, Shi Chishang sat down cross-legged, started practicing his mental skills.
He has been practicing inner alchemy for more than a month, and he has only just mastered the first level of refining qi. However, as he breaks through to the soul gathering stage, his inner alchemy has also surpassed the first level and entered the second level. Re-refining Qi into God.
The so-called inner alchemy is a Taoist practice after the foundation is established. The first level of refining and refining qi is to combine one's own essence and vitality, turning it into a light, pure and qualityless combination of essence and qi. In other words, energy.
Shi Chishang died in a car accident and his soul was separated from his body. Although he was later rescued and revived by Li Hexian, he had invisibly surpassed the scope of refining Qi. This was also the key to him being able to master the first level in just one month.
The second level of refining qi and transforming into spirit is to combine qi and spirit. To put it simply, it is to fuse energy with one's own thoughts.
Everyone in the world talks about souls, but only cultivators and a few people know that most people actually only have souls, that is, thoughts. Only those who have advanced in the ghost world or other systems can condense their "souls" and then combine them with their thoughts. Together, they become souls.
As for why people's appearance after death is still a human form instead of a mist that is closer to the shape of their thoughts, it is because people have recognized themselves as human beings since childhood, so after death, their thoughts will be separated from the body and they will instinctively turn into human shapes.
If a person is taught that he is actually a wolf since he was a child, and he implements this idea from the ground up, then what his will will turn into after death will actually be a wolf.
This is beside the point, and the Taoist method of refining energy and transforming into a spirit is the combination of energy and thoughts, while the second-level soul-gathering period of the ghost path is based on one's own energy, integrated with thoughts, and turned into soul mist.
The two are fundamentally similar, which made Shi Chishang's progress surprisingly fast after he stepped into Qi Refining and Divine Transformation. In just over an hour, he had stabilized at this level, and the fog covering the soul sea reached seventy Within a square meter, there are almost seven-tenths of the soul sea, which is the so-called late stage of soul gathering.
As his strength increased, Shi Chishang's induction also strengthened. As his mind united, he immediately sensed that there were dozens of groups of ghost energy upstairs. The weak ones among them were no more than wandering ghosts, but the strongest group among them was The ghost energy was as big as the blazing sun, full of evil thoughts, and strong evil thoughts were emitted from time to time. He only felt it for a moment, and then he felt an evil thought rising in his heart. He was so frightened that he quickly concentrated his energy to resolve it.
The first time he stabilized his cultivation, Shi Chishang opened his eyes and solemnly said: "The one above is the peak evil ghost!"
Shi Yirui's smile froze slightly. Even though he had known it for a long time, he was still upset at the moment: "Damn, it's actually an evil ghost. I don't know if I can bear these gems."
"In addition to the evil ghosts, there are also three resentful ghosts and a dozen wandering ghosts." Shi Chishang added another blow.
Shi Yirui's smile became even more ugly, as if he was crying: "What should I do?"
"Langsha!" Standing up, Shi Chishang asked with a face as deep as water, "If I entangle the evil ghost and a few resentful ghosts, and the rest come to besiege you, how long can you hold on?"
Shi Yirui was startled. He was about to open his mouth, but he closed it inexplicably. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "If there are only wandering ghosts and shape ghosts, I can defeat them by myself and hand over those resentful ghosts as well." give it to me."
After taking a deep look at her, Shi Chishang nodded and said, "Okay, please."
The five words in a calm tone made Shi Yirui's heart tremble. He suppressed the soreness on the tip of his nose and whispered: "Survive."
"Don't worry." Shi Chishang smiled and turned to look at the window sealed by the iron plate, with a bit of bitterness in his eyes.
Maybe it’s really hard to survive this time! But if he survives, he must go find her and ask why she left secretly.
*——*——*
"Junior, he is actually...also a cultivator?"
Staring blankly at the opposite side, the woman's beautiful eyes were filled with a bit of shock, and she immediately came to her senses: "No, he wasn't one back then, otherwise I wouldn't be... Yes, he should have become a cultivator in recent years."
"But……"
"Idiot! Why are you trying to be strong when you have nothing to do? We have obviously destroyed the ghosts below, so why not just stay down there? There is a magic circle on the top floor to seal it. If you don't open the door, the evil ghosts can't come out at all. As soon as you open the door...you are so damned!"
Silver teeth were clenched, and the woman was about to jump up on her toes, but the young man behind her suddenly stopped in front of her and said urgently: "Sister Wei, no, you were seriously injured by the ninth general, and your current strength is only at the level of a day traveler. , there is no way to open the magic circle."
"Who said I can't open it!"
Under the night, the woman's beautiful eyes turned dark red, as if burning with endless fire. The originally weak aura suddenly increased at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to return to its previous peak.
"The method of returning yin to yang? That's not possible!" The young man's expression changed in shock, and he said anxiously, "If you do this, it will be equivalent to destroying all these years of skill. Once the sect master comes back, he will definitely not spare Shi Chishang after he finds out."
The woman's originally furious breath suddenly stopped. Yes, even if she tried her best to rescue Shi Chi Shang, once her father came back and found out about this, he would never let Shi Chi Shang go. Even when she was in her prime, she couldn't stop her father, let alone Not to mention myself after being seriously injured.
After thinking about this, the woman felt extremely confused, and the aura that was about to reach the peak gradually dropped.
*——*——*
On the top floor of Long Yu Hotel, Shi Chishang stood at the door of the largest banquet hall, staring at the closed door, and his breathing slowly became heavier. Even if he had made a decision, he was about to face an evil spirit that exceeded his limits. At this time, he was still a little concerned about gains and losses.
After a long silence, Shi Chishang's eyes slowly turned firm. He raised his hand and pressed it on the door, pushing it open little by little.
With a creak, the door was slowly pushed open by him, and a strong and almost suffocating yin energy spurted out from it. Almost instinctively, Shi Chishang used the inner alchemy technique, and a strong suction force surged from his body. came out, intercepting 80% of the spewing Yin Qi, and the remaining 20% was resolved by Shi Yirui's spell behind him.
As 80% of the yin energy entered his body, Shi Chishang found that the soul mist had expanded several meters more. His heart suddenly shivered, and an idea came to his mind.
Now he is no match for the evil ghost. If he absorbs all the ghosts except the evil ghost, can he break through to the soul-raising stage and then fight against this evil ghost?
As soon as this idea arose, it grew uncontrollably. Shi Chishang's thoughts were racing, but his face remained calm. He opened the door completely and stepped into the banquet hall.
The banquet hall on the top floor is the largest banquet hall in the entire hotel. The banquet halls below are all one floor with several banquet halls, but this top floor is one banquet hall on one floor, so you can imagine its huge area.
Although the hall was pitch dark, Shi Chishang was keenly aware of the dozens of ghosts on the top floor scattered throughout the top floor with his mind that had been strengthened several times after reaching the soul gathering stage. The strongest evil ghost among them was himself. Ten meters directly ahead.
According to Shi Yirui, except for humans and some natural ghost races, the ghosts that ordinary creatures turn into after death will not have complete sanity before becoming ghost pawns. In other words, this peak-level evil ghost, Its sanity may only be that of a seven or eight-year-old child.
"Just anger it and let it focus..." Before Chishang could finish his thoughts, he suddenly heard a low laugh from in front of him: "What are you thinking about?"
Shi Chi Shang's color changed in shock, how could it be possible? Is this evil ghost actually talking to me?
"Are you surprised?"
In the darkness ahead, there was a huge, vaguely visible shadow. It looked directly at Shi Chishang, and a voice full of evil thoughts sounded loudly: "Didn't you come here just to kill me alone? Unfortunately, you don't You know, the reason why I let you massacre my people below is because this banquet hall is sealed by a magic circle, and we can't get out unless the door is opened from the outside."
"Besides, you don't know, right? As long as you wait outside until dawn, the people from the Yin Yang Sect can open the magic circle and rescue you. Haha, what a pity, you are looking for death and came to open the door yourself. I really don't know what they are doing now What kind of expression will it look like outside?"
"It turns out that after dawn..." Shi Chishang was startled for a moment, and before he could feel regretful, the evil ghost seemed to notice the change in his expression, and laughed loudly: "Are you regretful? Are you scared? Haha! Do you think I will do this? Do you want to send my men to kill your companions, as you think? Of course not! Since you are one of the only two cultivators among them, of course I will concentrate my efforts to kill you first!"
By the time the last sentence was spoken, the evil thoughts in the evil ghost had become so strong that they were almost real. The ghosts that were originally scattered around the banquet hall seemed to have received the order, and flew in from all directions with strange roars, flying around Shi Chi Shang. .
Surrounded by many ghosts, Shi Chishang was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed softly and murmured: "I have been lazy all my life, but I didn't expect that I would be so heroic before I died! Haha."
Before the laughter stopped, Shi Chishang suddenly dodged out and rushed to the three ghosts on the left. His hands flashed with golden light, and he spread his arms into a hug. He hugged the three ghosts together and blessed them with diamond fingers. His hands were so sharp at this moment, and he was in the late stage of gathering souls. With one grab, the three ghosts disappeared into thin air.
He spun around to absorb the ghost energy they scattered, Shi Chishang stepped on it, and rushed to a resentful ghost. The five thunder seals condensed along the way, and he smashed it on the head.
As he entered the late stage of gathering souls, the power of the [Five Thunder Curse] also increased a lot. With one blow, the resentful ghost was immediately torn into pieces. Before it could recover, Shi Chishang drew out his left hand and blessed it with a diamond finger. His fingertips easily shattered the body of the resentful ghost into pieces.
Just as he was about to absorb the resentment released by the resentful ghost after his death, he suddenly felt a surge of evil thoughts behind his back. It was the peak evil ghost who saw him suddenly violently killing four of his subordinates and took action himself in a rage.
The evil ghost remained motionless, but once it launched an attack, the majestic evil thoughts poured out like a tide. Even if Shi Chishang had his back turned to it, he felt his chest was suffocated and he only had six points left out of ten.
