After giving up his methods, Zhang Yan realized this secretly. After saving a wild ghost, he didn't use much spiritual energy before and after, equivalent to less than half of his current spiritual energy.
In fact, it actually takes more spiritual energy to save a ghost than to destroy one. Just like just now, if Zhang Yan wants to destroy the wild ghost, he only needs to use the power of the spirit fire talisman to pierce the opponent's ghost body with a peach wood sword. The spirit fire will directly burn its soul body. In the end, the three souls and seven The soul fell apart and completely dissipated. In that case, Zhang Yan's consumption would be less than half, or even negligible.
However, with Zhang Yan, even if he spends a little more spiritual energy, he will not just kill a ghost just to save effort. What's more, he's just a wild ghost, so there's no need to do everything.
Zhang Yan put away the mahogany sword and was in a good mood. I finally saw what ghosts are like, and I also touched some core things about ghost bodies, which may come in handy in the future. But I just don’t know if the fierce ghosts who are more sinister than wild ghosts also have a similar filthy core.
"This mass grave is not small. There shouldn't be just one wild ghost wandering around."
Zhang Yan circled the mass grave twice and found a total of five wild ghosts with the help of the evil-chasing talisman. Both men and women had equal amounts of evil spirits, and in the end they were all saved by him like the first wild ghost using the Sutra to Avert Sins.
After using up nearly 30% of his spiritual energy at one time, Zhang Yan also felt a little tired. This was the first time he had consumed his spiritual energy like this since he started practicing.
"It turns out that working behind closed doors is not a good thing. You can feel obvious fatigue when you consume less than 30% of your energy. This kind of tenacity is still too bad." Zhang Yan was very dissatisfied with how quickly he felt tired.
This is like running. You have the physical strength to run thirty miles, but you start to feel mentally tired only at ten miles. It is very likely that your physical strength will not be fully utilized later and you will reach exhaustion early. If this is a desperate situation, , it was definitely a big failure.
The saying goes, "When strength comes into use, toughness comes first." This is the truth.
"It seems that I need to practice in this area more often in the future. Consume the spiritual energy until about 40 to 50% is left, and then practice it back again. Repeatedly, I should be able to improve my current shortcomings."
Zhang Yan thought that it was getting late here and it would be impossible to go back to the city. There was no way to get in through the city gate. So he thought about it and decided to go to a cave he passed by when he was walking around the mountain to spend the night without sleeping. , just meditate for a while.
But Zhang Yan didn't know that not long after he left, a baby's head appeared timidly from a tomb not far from him, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, and there was a hint of deep fear in the ferocious and strange look. The direction of his gaze was exactly the direction Zhang Yan left.
And as the baby emerged, the surrounding wind suddenly rose up, as if it was blown out of the tomb. Even the sinister aura was several times stronger than that of the wild ghost that Zhang Yan had saved here before.
The baby was suspended in the air and did not dare to stay any longer. He glanced at his own tomb and seemed a little reluctant to leave, but in the end he chose to leave and soon disappeared.
Zhang Yan was not clear about this scene. He would not have known that right under his nose, there would be a more sinister ghost than a wild ghost hiding in the tomb, evading his perception, and even using a wild ghost outside to avoid it. The quest for the Evil Talisman. Otherwise, he would be able to see the difference between fierce ghosts and wild ghosts today.
"This is it. Well...it's not bad. There are no animals living here. It's quite clean." Zhang Yan found a branch and simply swept the cave floor a few times to make sure there was nothing on the ground. The reptile then dragged a thick dead tree back and lit a fire. Then he sat down cross-legged and prepared to complete today's homework.
However, when Zhang Yan was operating the technique as calmly as before, streaks of golden splendor that shouldn't have appeared entered his body along with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and he didn't even react yet.
"What are these?!" Zhang Yan was shocked at first. You must know that after the spiritual energy enters the body, it will release the cyclone in the Dantian, and will also follow the path of the exercise method to travel through the main meridians of the body to complete the daily circulation. If anything harmful is mixed into the spiritual energy, Zhang Yan will definitely be in big trouble. of.
But Zhang Yan soon calmed down. He found that those golden brilliance did not cause any damage to his meridians and Dantian. On the contrary, with their addition, the cyclone in Dantian seemed to be a little stronger. It was more like they actively integrated into the cyclone in Dantian. , and finally disappeared.
Only then did Zhang Yan come back to his senses. In just a few short breaths, the cyclone in his Dantian grew stronger than what he had gained from practicing for more than half a month!
Zhang Yan is now in the late stage of the Qi-Entraining Realm. Although he has not yet felt where the barrier to break through the Qi-Entraining Realm is, he estimates that it will be within a year or two. He has always been concerned about the growth of cyclones. Always pay attention and be extremely sensitive. So I was extremely surprised and puzzled by the scene that just happened.
How is this going?
In the two years since he started practicing, Zhang Yan has never encountered such a situation when running his exercises. Something else would enter his body along with the spiritual energy.
After doing this, Zhang Yan could no longer continue his homework. In other words, what he did just now was worth more than half a month of hard work.
What Zhang Yan wants to understand is what exactly is that golden brilliance, and why can it be incorporated into his body along with the spiritual energy? And why can it dissolve and disappear in the cyclone, and can also strengthen the cyclone?
"A cyclone is formed by the gathering of spiritual energy, and there is nothing else but spiritual energy. The golden brilliance can be integrated into it and instantly strengthen the cyclone, without any sense of foreign matter. So, could it be that those golden brilliance are also spiritual energy?" Zhang Yan I don't think this is difficult to guess.
"But why have I never encountered this kind of golden splendor-like aura before? And there are six of them at once. Is there another reason?"
If those golden brilliance are more condensed spiritual energy, why do they appear suddenly? There are no benefits without reason in the world, even for spiritual energy.
thought long time. Not only did he review the environment he was in, all the details of the technique he had just used, and even everything he had done throughout the day. The only thing that was different from the past was that Zhang Yan saw a ghost for the first time today and performed a spiritual salvation ritual.
"Six wild ghosts, six rituals, six golden splendors...could this be the "merits of heaven's rewards" mentioned in the book?!"
Zhang Yan's guess shocked himself again, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right.
Wandering ghosts violate the harmony of nature and hinder the cycle of life and death. To save ghosts is to obey the will of heaven and do it for heaven, so you should naturally be rewarded.
It's just that the "merit" in the Longhu Mountain classics is vague. After arriving in the Huangtian Realm, the merits are actually so real?
