Chapter 60: Soul Strengthening, Flying Lizard
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“The cultivation technique to cultivate the soul… Hmm… given that I’m so weak now and my starting point is so low… Then, cultivating the Soul Cultivation Chapter is the best choice. Although the cultivation speed is very slow, the advantage is stability. It has a deep origin and can lay a solid foundation…”
Wang Che had many sutra techniques for cultivating the soul.
According to his current condition, Wang Che chose the soul nurturing technique that was the most stable in the early stage, powerful in the middle stage, and overpowering in the later stage.
The greatest benefit of this technique was that even Qi Refinement realm cultivators could cultivate it. The threshold was very low.
Moreover, it was very safe to cultivate. Very few accidents happened to the soul.
The difficulty was that the cultivation speed was extremely slow. In a few hundred years, there would be no progress from the Qi Refinement Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm, or even the Golden Core Realm.
At this moment, with this wisp of remnant soul and so gentle, Wang Che found it surprisingly easy to cultivate the Soul Cultivation Chapter.
“This should be a remnant soul that Gu Sheng left behind when he passed away… It should have some goal… Unfortunately, it has been too long and the consciousness left behind by this remnant soul has already disappeared… It automatically flew towards me… It probably has some last wish to complete…”
Wang Che pondered as he cultivated.
Unfortunately, this soul remnant will completely fused with Wang Che’s soul.
He did not gain any memories.
It had been too long. If this remnant soul thought had not been awakened by this sutra of his, it might have directly dissipated after some time.
“Even if there’s a last wish… it’s been more than two thousand years…”
Wang Che stood up and felt his surroundings clearly. He was silent for a few seconds.
Naturally, it was impossible.
“After the war, humans cultivated for thousands of years. Countless human ancestors died in battle… It was not easy for descendants to erect monuments here when exploring… Who would know that these ancestors’ souls still had a wisp of remnant thoughts in the world?”
Wang Che looked at the hazy night sky and was speechless for a long time.
“I’m borrowing your soul to cultivate. No matter what, it’s still a favor.” Wang Che shook his head, “I don’t want to owe anyone anything. When I go back, I’ll carefully investigate your history. If I can find any traces, I’ll definitely settle it for you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a faint wind blowing from the tomb. It was silent and seemed to be echoing…
Wang Che had successfully cultivated the Soul Cultivation Chapter and his soul had become stronger. He carried the green caterpillar and headed for the next floating rock.
In this world, the soul was even harder to cultivate.
More importantly, what were souls related to?
It was the number of soul pets you could contract. It was related to the strength and cultivation of this martial soul. It also indirectly affected the growth of the soul pet’s intelligence.
It was related to all aspects.
Mental strength was an extremely important indicator for Contract Soul Masters.
According to what Wang Che knew, history had records that some humans had innately powerful souls. When they were 18, they could directly contract two soul pets.
This directly led to far greater innate talent compared to other peers when awakening the martial soul.
No matter how low the grade of the martial soul was, with the aptitude of innate soul power, the cultivation speed was ridiculously fast.
They would be able to become a Heavenly King in just a few decades.
Without relying on the martial soul, just the soul pets contracted were enough to be ranked as the strongest.
Wang Che cultivated his soul not to quickly contract a second soul pet.
Instead, it was to sense the special power in his soul, the power of his martial soul.
Only when his soul was strong enough could Wang Che sense it himself.
Now that he had successfully cultivated the Soul Cultivation Chapter, if he could successfully cultivate to the first level, Wang Che would definitely be able to sense the martial soul in his soul.
Of course, that wisp of the remnant soul was too weak. It could only allow Wang Che to barely cultivate this special technique.
It was still insufficient to reach the first level.
“It’s already not bad to be able to cultivate the basics… now that my soul is much stronger, my perception is even stronger… Other things aside, in battle, my observation of soul pets’ battles is naturally clearer.”
A ten year soul pet battle was very different from a hundred year soul pet battle.
After the soul pet’s soul power cultivation had increased by a hundred years, its physique would be greatly enhanced in all aspects. In battle, even soul masters who had just awakened their martial souls would find it difficult to react.
For example, the same Rumbling Tail Strike used by a ten year soul pet and a hundred year soul pet were two completely different concepts in terms of speed and power.
If the soul master’s perception was too slow and could not provide feedback to the soul pet in time, he could only rely on the soul pet’s own judgment to counterattack.
It was hard to say who would win.
A soul pet of the same cultivation and rank using the same soul skill would depend on which side’s soul master reacted faster.
If one’s perception was strong, they could see through the opponent’s attack. If one’s reaction was fast, they would be more connected to the soul pet.
With a command, the soul pet could quickly dodge and heavily injure the opponent.
In soul pet battles, the further one went, the greater the test for the soul.
Therefore, mental strength was an extremely important indicator for Contract Soul Masters.
The grade of the martial soul could not be easily changed, but any Contract Soul Master could cultivate mental strength beyond that.
The stronger one’s mental strength cultivation, the more powerful they could become by relying on their soul pets.
To Wang Che, being able to cultivate his soul was definitely a pleasant surprise.
“By the way… the Soul Tempering Tree said that there are some ferocious soul beasts that have lost consciousness and gone mad near the cemetery… Why don’t I see them…”
A question flashed across Wang Che’s mind.
When he left, he did not notice them either.
Soon, Wang Che found another Soul Tempering Tree.
Cough.
Just like that, Wang Che obtained two more special locations.
According to this Soul Tempering Tree, in these two locations, in one of the pits, there were some jumping grass. After consuming it, it would increase the soul pet’s speed to a certain extent.
On the other side was a Flying Lizard with a cultivation of 400 years.
Perhaps he could obtain something useful after defeating this lizard?
Without a word, Wang Che immediately found the jumping grass.
For high school students, the jumping grass was indeed a rare medicinal herb that could increase the speed of soul pets.
However, there were some side effects.
After a series of processing, it could be made into a rare and precious attribute potion.
It could perfectly increase the speed of a soul pet.
Unfortunately, this rare potion was very expensive and only after consuming a certain amount would there be an obvious effect.
Ordinary families naturally could not afford it, and there were fewer in the market.
The main thing was that the material for this jumping grass was rare.
Wang Che found about ten stalks according to the hints given by the Soul Tempering Tree.
He held onto the idea of testing the herb and took a small bite.
As expected, there were side effects.
He had diarrhea on the spot and only managed to recover after half an hour.
Fortunately, he did not meet any other contestants. Otherwise, in that tragic state, he might have become the joke of the century.
“After a soul pet consumes it, it should also have diarrhea… which is not that bad since diarrhea is essentially removing impurities… the more impurities are removed from the body, the lighter the weight, and the faster the speed will naturally increase.”
Wang Che’s face was slightly pale and he was speechless.
“This thing looks a little like Marrow Cleansing Grass… It has a similar effect and can be considered a rare medicinal herb. It needs other medicinal herbs to neutralize the medicinal properties… If it’s consumed directly, no one can withstand it.”
Wang Che planned to refine the ten herbs into medicinal paste himself. After feeding it to the green caterpillar, its speed would definitely increase by a small level.
“Next, I’ll go meet this Flying Lizard. According to the rules of fighting monsters and obtaining treasures… this soul beast should have good things in its place.”
Wang Che pondered and said, “A Flying Lizard with a cultivation of 400 years and a berserk state… its strength naturally far exceeds that of the green caterpillar. If my soul did not strengthen, I might have chosen to avoid it… Now that my soul has been strengthened, with my combat experience and intuition, I should be able to see through this soul beast’s attack…”
“Defeating it is not impossible.”
