If you really want to talk about Zhang Yan's feelings after entering the middle stage of the Return to God Realm, he can only use the word "solid" to describe it.
The solidity here does not refer to the solid foundation of the realm after the breakthrough, but refers to the solidity of his soul level or soul level.
There is an old saying about spiritual practice on earth, which says, "The body is like a boat, carrying the soul across the sea of suffering." What we are talking about is actually the relationship between the three essences of practice. All three are important and no one can live without the other.
Zhang Yan is a practitioner of both martial arts and Shintoism, so his physical skills are far inferior to those of physical skills, but he will also improve his physical body every time he improves his realm. Just like the "pores spraying feces" in the past, each state change can expel many impurities in the physical body, thereby improving the overall strength of the physical body.
The body takes care of both, but the soul is the main direction of attack.
Therefore, after becoming a soul, Zhang Yan understood that his soul had made a huge leap in the level of life. Even the essence of the soul has changed.
And this time entering the middle stage of the Return to God Realm, although the changes in the Yuan Shen are not as dramatic as the ups and downs when first formed, they are not far behind.
The biggest change lies in the golden yang skin on the surface of the soul.
This is not as simple as "wearing a piece of clothing", but "skin", which was born on the soul, or the soul was induced to look like this.
This is "showing Yang". This means that the Yuan Shen shows obvious Yang Qi essence.
The soul originally belongs to yin, but now it shows yang. This is the way to practice. What is retrograde is the path of life and death, taking the road that no living thing should take.
At this time, Zhang Yan's soul is strong and has a yang outer skin. Even under the scorching sun, his soul can leave his body and even sneak into the ground. At this time, most of the influence of Yin Qi on his soul was offset. Although it is not enough to go to the ghost realm, ordinary ghosts have no ability to resist even if they face Zhang Yan's soul. Because at this time, Zhang Yan's soul was like a miniature sun in the eyes of ghosts.
The benefits brought by the enhancement of Yuan Shen are all-round. From the speed of breathing spiritual energy to the power of magical means, as well as opening the door to new means and so on. Of course, there is another extremely important aspect: the understanding of Tao.
With a move of his left hand, a white floc the size of a goose feather appeared out of thin air in his palm. In fact, Zhang Yan knew that this was actually a small cloud.
With a move of his right hand, clouds of the same size appeared in his palm.
With a thought, the two clouds began to turn from white to black, turning black in the blink of an eye, and slowly drifted closer to each other.
"Kacha!"
A few inches of lightning flashed in the clouds between his hands, followed by a faint but audible sound of thunder.
Then the two clouds merged into one and started to rain. It can even be said to be a "heavy rain" based on the size of these two clouds.
The rainwater quickly froze as it fell, and when it fell on Zhang Yan's palm, it was already covered with a thin layer.
It seems that it involves five elements of magic, including water, wood, and wind. But in fact, this is not a magic technique. Although it is also related to the Five Elements, there is no trace of magic in nature. It was Zhang Yan who used his understanding of "Tao" to look for "clues" and stirred the five elements of heaven and earth with "empty hands" to form wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
But Zhang Yan is just playing with it on the palm of his hand for now, just for show. His "Tao" is far from allowing him to easily arrange a normal-scale wind, rain, thunder and lightning. However, the signs are already visible.
"Perhaps the legendary method of burning rivers and boiling seas was never based on magical means?" Zhang Yan had a new understanding in his mind.
After being released from quarantine, Zhang Yan's life returned to its previous state. Lectures on Wushu Academy, Miscellaneous Studies Academy, home, and a bimonthly trip to Cliff Mountain.
When he is free, he will not really be idle, but will spend the rest of his time on refining elixirs, refining weapons, and studying magic circles.
Weapons exchanged for money are no longer commonly used. Because what Zhang Yan now makes at random is also the lowest-grade magical weapon, and what falls in the wilderness is the "magic weapon". One handful is enough to make a "rich" money rainstorm. If there are too many, the price will drop. Besides, he is not short of money at all now.
The demand for ghost-catching bells is still high, but the main shipping direction has changed from Nanyuan Kingdom Special Eucalyptus Company to demon species, accounting for almost 90%.
Compared with the demand for ghost-catching bells from the Nanyuan Kingdom's Special Eucalyptus Division, the demand from other countries in the human race combined would be ten or even dozens of times that of the Nanyuan Kingdom.
The result of this is that Zhang Yan's reputation quickly became fuller in other countries of the human race with the ghost-catching bell. In the past, it was just "hearing", but now there is "practice".
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
There are also a lot of medicinal herbs. And the longevity stone that was given to Zhang Yan as a gift.
Naturally, the longevity stone that can be used as a gift will not be an ordinary-sized longevity stone, but a larger and purer rare grade, which is what the Taoist books call the "best" or "high-grade" spiritual stone.
The people who gave the gifts were the royal families of various human kingdoms who were shocked by the ghost bells. What do these stones of longevity count to a country? If you can remember a name in Zhang Yan's mind, it will make a lot of money. Among them are the Beiwu Kingdom, which Zhang Yan is relatively familiar with, and the Huayue Kingdom, which Zhang Yan has passed by.
Basically these are good things. But when there are too many good things, storage becomes a big problem. You can't continue to use the stone building as a warehouse in Jiangwuyuan, right? Not appropriate either. And there are no conditions for building a warehouse at home.
There were only two options left before Zhang Yan. Either start building on the cliff mountain as soon as possible. The space there is large enough. If you start building inside the mountain, you can easily accommodate a hundred times more things.
Another way is to refine magic weapons for storage. However, the most rumored storage instruments such as rings, pockets, and bracelets are too difficult. Zhang Yan is not capable of engraving complex spatial arrays on the surface of such a small object. The storage capacity of the same space magic array on this type of artifact is also much lower. This type of magic weapon is famous because it is more convenient to carry and more elegant.
Think about it, when you turn your hand, you can take objects from the void, and the mysterious effect is directly fulfilled.
But in fact, the stored magic weapons are more practical than "style". For example, large storage boxes, or even large bags or jars. This kind of storage magic weapon is the most common, and it is also the storage magic weapon that most monks can use and afford.
Zhang Yan's current cultivation level is enough to use the space magic circle and refine the basic materials for storage. But it has only reached the threshold. If you want to succeed, in addition to gathering the refining materials required to store the magic weapon, you also need to practice more inscriptions on the magic circle. Just like the method he used when refining the protective weapon.
Zhang Yan is ready to go hand in hand with both methods. However, he didn't want to leave others alone when it came to building the mountain gate. Firstly, it's troublesome, but secondly, it's not as good as doing it himself. When it comes to activating earth and rocks in the Wild Heaven Realm, who can be better than a monk like Zhang Yan who is proficient in the Five Elements earth attribute technique?
