As the night goes on, the city outside Jibing City has entered the night ban, and only a few casinos and brothels are still brightly lit. Unlike other main cities in the Tianhun Empire, there are no street lights in Jibing City. The light at night depends entirely on personal vision and torch lighting. Therefore, on the streets, there were mostly soldiers from the city guard battalion patrolling with torches performing their duties.
The Ling family, which was originally brightly lit, now had most of the lights extinguished. In the entire Ling family, only a few lanterns were left in each corridor of the house to facilitate the passage of servants or the Ling family who went out for a night walk.
The strange thing is that the servants and guards who used to patrol the entire Ling family were nowhere to be found in the core area of the Ling family today.
"Crack."
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening sounded softly from the door of the Ling family's study, and a thick arm pushed the door open from the inside.
Two figures, one big and one small, quickly walked out. The big figure was strong and heroic, while the small figure was lean and handsome. Who else could it be if they weren't Ling An and Ling Bingtian, father and son?
The two people who had just finished communicating with Ling Yongsheng and Ling Yongyi in the house were also preparing to go back to the house to sleep. They each had something to do tomorrow.
Under the leadership of Ling An, Ling Bingtian followed him and bowed to the two elders in the door in a polite manner, said good night and left at the signal of the two elders in the door.
Along the way, Ling Bingtian, who pretended to be tired, yawned a few times, obviously trying to make Ling An realize that it was late at night, that he was already sleepy, and that he had no energy to chat with him anymore.
In fact, it worked. Ling An saw Ling Bingtian yawning several times along the way. He originally wanted to give Ling Bingtian a few words of advice, so he stopped chatting with Ling Bingtian. After taking him to his room, he told him to go to bed early and left decisively. . He still wanted to talk to Lord Ling about Ling Yongsheng's decision tonight. It was necessary to report Ling Bingtian's departure to his mother tomorrow morning.
Under the service of the two maids, Ling Bingtian completed the dressing, washing and other pre-sleep tasks cooperatively, then lay down on the quilt that had been warmed by another maid in advance, and fell asleep.
"Huh-huh-" The pretended snoring soon sounded, causing the three maids who were packing things to speed up their work. Soon, after gently extinguishing the candles, the three maids began to quietly put out the candles. left.
When the footsteps of the maids leaving after closing the door gradually faded away, until they were no longer heard, Ling Bingcai opened her eyes, struggled out of the warm bed, sat up cross-legged, and began to reflect on what she had gained this day.
The first thing he realized was naturally the soul power slowly flowing through his body. Just when he was in the main study room, his father Ling An had already taught him the soul power meditation method exclusively for the Ling family. After many years of attempts by the Ling family, this meditation method is much more effective in helping ice attribute soul masters improve than the meditation methods used by the general public.
The soul power in Ling Bingtian's body is now running according to the Ling family's soul power meditation method. The soul power flows unimpeded in his meridians, flowing like the Yangtze River. It is completely difficult to understand the Huo Huo in the beginning of the original work. Feeling blocked. This is the advantage in cultivation of innate level 15 soul power compared to innate level 1 soul power (laughing)!
"What a miraculous power!" After practicing for a week, Ling Bingtian stopped trying. From now on, this will be a required course every day. There is no need to spend too much time on it now.
Ling Bingtian guided the soul power in his body to his right hand, and a bit of icy blue light suddenly appeared on his right hand, which was the embodiment of the ice attribute soul power in his body.
A sense of novelty and curiosity couldn't help but surge into Ling Bingtian's heart. This kind of thing similar to internal power and true energy is a very new thing for anyone in the demon-free era.
After controlling the flow of soul power in his hands for a while, Ling Bingtian wanted to try to change the soul power into the shape he wanted. Unfortunately, he did not yet have such control.
Even if it is the simplest triangle or square, Ling Bingtian cannot turn the released soul power into such a shape very well. At most, it can be regarded as a crooked and irregular figure with connections between points. It can be called nine twists and turns.
'After all, I have just awakened, and I will definitely get better if I practice more in the future. 'Ling Bingtian can only comfort himself in this way. After briefly playing with the soul power, Ling Bingtian stopped this action after having enough fun. Today's harvest is far more than just soul power.
As soon as his thoughts changed, the three methods that appeared in Ling Bingtian's mind at noon reappeared in Ling Bingtian's mind.
"Swallowing Yuan" Ling Bingtian had just tried it during the dinner party, and the effect was indeed astonishingly powerful.
As soon as he swallowed the nutritious and delicious delicacies cooked by the Ling family's chefs, Ling Bingtian tried it according to the practice method of "Swallowing Yuan".
Different from the past when he felt nothing when he was passively absorbed, this time, Ling Bingtian quickly and clearly felt the warm heat coming from his belly, coming out from his belly and flowing through his limbs at an extremely fast speed. Skeleton, and in the process strengthened his body bit by bit.
Although it has not been tested, Ling Bingtian can feel that if his body can continue to absorb such warm current, I am afraid that the increase that his body can get will far exceed his imagination.
Originally, because of the ice crystal phoenix, a god-level martial soul, and the innate fifteenth-level soul power, my physical fitness far exceeded that of an average tenth-level soul master, and was even better than some soul masters with weapon souls. powerful. Now, with the help of the "Swallowing Yuan" method, my physical fitness can be further strengthened at a high speed.
If his body could be strengthened at a faster speed, plus the opportunities he might get during tomorrow's trip to the secret land, Ling Bingtian thought it might be impossible for him to absorb a thousand-year soul ring as his first soul ring!
In Douluo Continent, a world where martial souls determine destiny and soul skills greatly affect the strength of a soul master, the positions of the nine soul rings are very important. A powerful first soul ring is enough to lay the foundation for a powerful soul master. solid foundation. Just like the future Huo Gua, without his million-year-old soul ring, he might not even be able to pass Zhou Yi's level.
From this, it is not difficult to see the importance of the first soul ring. If there is an opportunity to get the first soul ring in a thousand years, Ling Bingtian naturally does not want to miss it.
He has already tried the power of "Swallowing Yuan". Now, what Ling Bingtian wants to try is the other two methods.
The method that Ling Bingtian first chose to try was "Nine Transformations". After all, "Cultivation of God" is related to the sea of spirit in the brain. From the perspective of modern people's thinking, Ling Bingtian feels that there are still some problems in cultivating the brain. Need to proceed with caution.
According to the records in "Nine Transformations", Ling Bingtian tried to activate the soul power in his body, compressing, compressing, compressing...
"Pfft--" A sound of releasing gas suddenly sounded in the room, making Ling Bingtian's face look a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, the soul power was not compressed, but farted. Fortunately, no one was there, otherwise I would be a bit dead.
The soul power in the body is not that easy to control. It is okay to transport it collectively and play with it. To control them accurately and compress them is not something that Ling Bingtian, a soul master who has just awakened his martial soul, can do.
Ling Bingtian is not discouraged, just take his time. Ling Bingtian believes that practicing this thing is the same as learning, and there is no need to rush it.
Since "Nine Turns" hit a wall, Ling Bingtian turned around and started trying "Cultivation of God".
Thinking about the cultivation method of "Cultivation of God" in the Sea Expansion Realm, Ling Bingtian hesitated for a moment and then made up his mind.
Starve the timid to death and starve the bold to death.
Ling Bingtian mobilized the little bit of mental power he could muster, and gathered it into a pointed cone shape according to the method of expanding the sea. After thinking for a moment, Ling Bingtian cut off half of his already scarce spiritual power, and then stabbed towards the edge of the spiritual sea without hesitation.
"Hiss—" Ling Bingtian took a deep breath, and his body shook unconsciously.
This is because the moment the tip of the spiritual power cone touched the edge of the spiritual sea, the mental power cone dissipated and was replaced by a tingling sensation, which quickly spread from Ling Bingtian's head, causing Ling Bingtian felt as if dozens of needles were pricking his forehead and various parts of his body.
"This damn...it really hurts." Ling Bingtian waited for a while before holding back these words.
But the effect was still there. Ling Bingtian could feel that his spiritual sea expanded slightly after being pierced by the sharp cone.
It's just that if you don't observe carefully, it will be difficult to detect this change, which is like half a grain of rice.
'It's better than nothing, at least it can be regarded as the originator of spiritual power cultivation method. ' Ling Bingtian thought to himself as he soothed the pain.
The world of Douluo Continent is a strange world. Whether it is the era in charge of a certain selfless god king or in earlier eras, there are no local systematic cultivation techniques, let alone spiritual cultivation techniques.
A book called Xuantian Gong that others might not even bother to take a second look at in the world of low-level martial arts has been able to circulate almost unchanged for tens of thousands of years in the Douluo Continent. This is really puzzling.
Now, since he has "Cultivation of God", even if he does not have a martial soul with spiritual attributes, he does not have to worry about his mental strength not being able to keep up with his cultivation. Ling Bingtian feels a little at ease.
"It's just that it really hurts. I'll go." Ling Bingtian, who was stroking his forehead and feeling the afterglow of pain, couldn't help but speak the classic language of his previous life.
It seems that the "Cultivation of God" method requires you to measure the number of times you can practice it in a day. If you practice this thing too many times a day, it may really hurt your brain.
Next, it was the turn of the uniqueness of his martial soul.
Ling Bingtian mobilized the soul power in his body, and the familiar ice crystal mask appeared on his face again, his black hair turned into short ice-blue hair, and his eyes that changed from black to crimson opened slightly through Through the window, one can see beams of light shining all over the Ling family.
Available in white, green, blue, and purple.
The number of white light pillars is the largest among all light pillars, based on their distribution positions plus the scene you see when you awaken your martial spirit in the morning. Ling Bingtian had a rough judgment on what these light pillars represented.
'These light pillars of different colors may represent different people's luck or qualifications. '
The color of the beam of light that Ling Bingtian saw on Ling Yongsheng's head was a noble and elegant purple. The heads of most nobles and a few commoners were shining in a rich or light blue, while the vast majority of commoners were It's green and white. Among them, civilians with white beams of light above their heads accounted for a large part.
The most peculiar thing is the boy with commoner background who awakened the Ice Sea Crocodile after him. At first, when he was standing with other civilian children, Ling Bingtian glanced at them. At that time, the light beam above their heads was green and white, mixed with a few light blues.
But when the young man awakened the Ice Sea Sawtooth Crocodile martial spirit, Ling Bingtian secretly opened his visor to take a look at him before leaving. At that time, the light beam on his head had turned into a deep blue. Vaguely, there is still a bit of noble purple.
To get an accurate answer to the question of what the light pillar is, Ling Bingtian knew that he needed to observe more people and spend more time.
Originally, he wanted to see the situation of the blood shadow that rushed into his left hand, but now, Ling Bingtian looked at a corner of the room not far from him with the corner of his eye.
To the naked eye, it was obvious that there was no human figure there, but after opening the visor, Ling Bingtian found that there was a faint blue light beam shining slightly.
'not the right time yet. Ling Bingtian sighed softly in his heart. The sequelae of his extraordinary talent, his family really valued him too much.
'Besides, the way I was farting and shaking because of pain just now was seen by this hidden soul master! '
Thinking of this aspect, Ling Bingtian couldn't help but feel endless embarrassment and discomfort in his heart.
What a fool! (covering face)
'No matter what, if I'm not embarrassed, others are embarrassed. It's better to go to bed now, we have to go to the secret place tomorrow. '
With this thought in mind, Ling Bingtian covered himself with the already cold quilt and lay down, preparing to fall into a deep sleep. If he started practicing in the future, he might not be able to get a good night's sleep.
The moving clouds in the sky move slowly, and the moon shyly hides behind the clouds, taking back all the moonlight that shines on the earth.
Time passed bit by bit, listening to the sound of the mechanical clock in the room turning bit by bit, Ling Bingtian closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep. Forget it if I don’t know, but after being used to sleeping alone for a long time, it’s really difficult for me to fall asleep easily when I suddenly realize that there is another person in the room.
After thinking for a while, Ling Bingtian gritted his teeth and activated "Cultivation of God", and the normal weight of the mental power cone appeared in the sea of spirit again.
'Just think of it as practice! With one blow, Ling Bingtian controlled the sharp awl to stab the edge of the sea of spirits, and then endured the severe pain and gave himself another hard blow.
In an instant, Ling Bingtian felt as if ten thousand needles were piercing into his mind at the same time, and then started to swim on his forehead like a snake.
Almost at the same time, Ling Bingtian passed out. The last thought before he passed out was, 'The record at the end of the sea expansion chapter of "Cultivation of Gods" is really correct. It's so prickly when you can't sleep... …'
Before he could finish thinking about it, Ling Bingtian fell asleep.
"Huh?" A figure in black suddenly appeared from the direction that Ling Bingtian was looking at just now, and floated to Ling Bingtian's bed without touching the ground. He slightly used his soul power to sense Ling Bingtian's body. health condition.
Being able to fly off the ground without releasing a martial soul is something that only soul saints and higher level soul masters can do. This black-clothed figure protecting Ling Bingtian is at least a seven-ring soul saint!
Everything is normal, the young master is no different from sleeping as usual.
'The young master today is a little unusual. The figure in black who had observed Ling Bingtian's entire attempt thought to himself, "Forget it, there are no fluctuations in soul power or mental power anyway. It should be that the young master who awakened the ultimate martial soul today is too excited." '
Attributing everything to the fact that Ling Bingtian was overly excited about awakening his martial soul today, the figure in black silently floated back, stood at the corner suitable for moving to any position in the room, and began a new round of vigilance and guarding.
Of course, Ling Bingtian didn't know all this, and now he could only passively "enjoy" his feat.
Late at night, when people are sleeping, half of the moon's face emerges from the black clouds. The moonlight shines softly on the window, as if it is mocking the behavior of someone in the house.
