Not to mention that he couldn't understand, even the elders of the Chen family and even Chen Hongning couldn't understand.
Many years ago, the soul source in the world of cultivation was still very abundant, so the Chen family would have been so strong at that time, and there were also many soul refiners in the Chen family at that time.
But now that soul sources are extremely scarce in the world of cultivation, there are very few soul refiners who would do this like Chen Wuyuan. This is indeed a huge waste.
"Didn't you say that Hongyuan also understood the soul refining technique? Then why did he absorb the soul source power?" Chen Hongning asked with a frown.
As a soul refiner, you should be very aware of the preciousness of soul sources. Especially in this era, the soul source is even more precious than those resources, because the stronger the soul source, the stronger the soul orb.
The stronger the soul bead is, the stronger the soul refiner is.
If Chen Hongyuan has so many soul sources, then he can directly use the soul refining technique. Although it will consume a lot of spiritual power, at least it will not affect the power of the soul beads.
This is also the reason why Chen Hongxing did not use this move, but jumped over and used the Soul Refining Technique.
If Chen Hongyuan hadn't comprehended the Soul Refining Technique, it would be understandable that he would use this move. However, since he has already comprehended the Soul Refining Technique, he can definitely use the Soul Refining Technique, and there is no need to waste it like this.
"This... I don't quite understand, but he has indeed understood the soul refining technique, otherwise he would not have been able to get fourth place in the Nine Clans Competition." Chen Tianxing also said helplessly.
Chen Hongyuan has always been a very smart person in his heart, and it is impossible not to know this, because any soul refiner knows this.
Not every soul refining master can understand the soul refining technique, so those who have not understood the soul refining technique will use this method to increase their combat effectiveness.
Because the threshold for using this method is low, any soul refiner can use it. And even if the soul source in your soul bead is not very strong, you can absorb the power of the soul source inside, which can increase your strength to a greater or lesser extent.
But not everyone can master soul refining, otherwise it wouldn't be considered a soul refining master's secret skill.
For any soul refining master, if they understand the soul refining technique, they will probably choose to use the soul refining technique to fight instead of directly consuming the soul source.
Because the soul source is limited, it will be gone once it is consumed.
"If this is the case, then it is really a mistake for him to do this. The soul source is not easy to come by, how can he be allowed to waste it like this? Or does he want to show that he can win against the opponent even without using soul refining techniques? ?" Chen Hongning was a little disappointed with Chen Hongyuan at this point.
He felt that what Chen Hongyuan did was really inappropriate. He felt that since Chen Hongyuan knew how to refining souls but didn't use them, he clearly wanted to show off in front of him and gain his favor.
After all, compared with the soul refining technique, Chen Hongyuan's current method of directly absorbing the soul source is obviously much inferior, and this is basically the same level of power.
Although soul refining and soul absorption can both fuse the power of the soul source, the methods are different.
Soul refining can fuse all the soul power in the soul source together, and it will not disappear, but it requires a large amount of spiritual power.
But if you directly absorb the soul source, although the power is integrated into the body, it is impossible to absorb all the soul source power. What can be absorbed are some weaker soul source powers.
Moreover, the absorbed soul sources will all be consumed later, and it is obvious which one is stronger and which one is weaker.
So now, in Chen Hongning's view, Chen Hongyuan did this just to show his strength in front of him, and at the same time, to let the Chen family recognize his status as the new head of the family.
Although this is indeed possible, how much of your soul source can be wasted like this?
Unless the soul source in Chen Hongyuan's current soul bead has temporarily reached its peak and cannot accommodate any more soul sources.
If that's the case, then it doesn't matter if he uses this method.
But is this possible?
Even he would have a hard time maxing out the soul power in his soul bead. Of course, their strengths and levels are different, so the soul power that can be contained in the soul beads is naturally also different.
However, although the soul power contained in their soul beads is different, it is almost impossible for any soul master to reach the maximum soul power in his soul pearl.
Unless you find the soul nest, countless soul sources can be absorbed into the soul bead.
But now the world of cultivation itself is very scarce in soul sources. Where can there be so many soul sources for you to absorb?
From what he knew so far, he was probably the only one in the underworld who had so many ghost cultivators using soul sources to replenish the soul power in the soul beads.
However, the Yin Underworld is not something you can enter just if you want to. Even ancestors like them cannot open the door to the Yin Underworld at will.
Even if it is opened, only disciples with the strength of the distraction stage can be allowed to enter. If the strength exceeds this level, they will not be able to support the disciples' teleportation.
Especially since it takes three hundred years to open this entrance once, it is almost impossible to enter the underworld to collect the soul source.
And even if a disciple in the distracted stage enters the underworld, how many ghost cultivators can he collect?
After all, ghost cultivators also have strong and weak abilities. For example, the Kaiowen of the Netherworld is about the same strength as them. Of course, their disciples in the distraction stage cannot meet the Kaiowo even if they enter the Netherworld.
However, the strength of the ghost cultivators that can be hunted during the distraction period is also extremely limited. At most, they are just about the same ghosts as those during the distraction period. The lower the ghost cultivator's strength, the lower the soul source power he obtains.
If you want them to bring these ghost cultivators back to a late-stage Mahayana soul refiner so that the soul source power in his soul bead can be capped, I am afraid that no matter how many disciples in the distraction period enter the underworld to help Chen Hongyuan collect the soul source, they will not be able to do it. It's possible.
Unless he is allowed to go to the underworld by himself and destroy the ghost cultivator's lair!
Therefore, Chen Hongning will never believe that the soul source in Chen Hongyuan's soul bead has been capped.
"Stupid! I didn't expect you to want to defeat me like this. How ridiculous!" On the main battle stage, Chen Hongxing saw that Chen Hongyuan's momentum was increasing, but he was not surprised but happy.
Because Chen Hongyuan's method is so stupid. If there was such a convenient and simple way to improve his strength, would he not use it?
And why didn't he use the soul refining technique that he had just mastered for a short time?
Because this method has too many drawbacks and is not worth it, it was during the Chen family's competition that his father gave him the ghosts that everyone had hunted, which allowed the soul power in his soul beads to be rapidly improved. .
But even so, he still felt that these soul sources were very precious and did not dare to consume them easily.
Could it be that the soul source in Chen Hongyuan's soul pearl is more abundant than his? Isn't this ridiculous?
