Chapter 45: Spiritual Refining
Qi Chongmao's disappearance may attract the attention and even investigation of the sect, but even so.
Chu Ning did not consider handing over Qi Chongmao's body to the sect.
Because once the sect investigates the fight between the two, and even checks their storage bags.
Then Chu Ning's little secret will naturally be lost.
Moreover, Chu Ning is still a little interested in the things in Qi Chongmao's storage bag.
At this time, he has come to his senses a little bit.
The so-called secret technique that Qi Chongmao used on him at the beginning is likely to be a spiritual attack.
However, under normal circumstances, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage cannot cultivate spiritual consciousness at all, let alone attack with spiritual consciousness.
Even though Qi Chongmao said just now that he has broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
However, Chu Ning has no time to look at the other party's storage bag at this moment.
The sect still has disciples patrolling every night.
Fortunately, the two fought for a short time and should not be discovered.
But even so, he still has to clean up the scene that was a little messy because of the fight.
After a few clearing spells, he scattered a few iron wire vine seeds, and used the stimulating spell and the Qingmu Chunhua spell to quickly grow them, covering some of the soil.
After doing all this, Chu Ning picked up the black wooden sword that he had used to resist the opponent's thorn spell and put it into the storage bag.
Just now, thanks to this wooden sword, he blocked the opponent's thorn spell, otherwise his attack rhythm would be disrupted.
At this moment, Chu Ning had time to use his spiritual power to erase the mark of Qi Chongmao's storage bag and open the opponent's storage bag.
"Isn't he the sixth level of Qi Refining? Why do you look so poor?"
After taking out the things in Qi Chongmao's storage bag, Chu Ning couldn't help but curl his lips.
I saw that the opponent had only more than 40 spiritual stones in his pocket, which was even worse than him.
This little spiritual stone was not enough to cover the consumption of his talismans just now.
Just now, Chu Ning used both the primary and middle-grade talismans for attack and defense.
In addition, there are two talismans, one is a water attack talisman, and the other is also a magic talisman.
"This magic talisman is a good thing. It is very useful for escaping or cooperating with my Tiangang Fist in close combat."
Chu Ning thought to himself, and continued to look at the two bottles of pills next to him.
He reached out and took the bottle with Huiyuan Dan attached to it and opened it to take a look. He found that there were 10 Huiyuan Dan inside, and immediately put it away happily.
He had obtained this Huiyuan Dan from Old Man Sun before. The effect of restoring mana was very good. He didn't use it much before.
However, now that he has the Tiangang Fist, the effect of this Huiyuan Dan can be reflected.
After all, he just used the Tiangang Fist with all his strength once, and it consumed nearly 30% of his mana.
Then, Chu Ning picked up another bottle with Yangshen Dan attached to it.
He opened it and took a look. There were only 5 pills in it.
Chu Ning had never touched this Yangshen Dan before, but he didn't know what effect it had, so he could only store it in the storage bag temporarily.
At this time, Chu Ning's eyes fell on the last two items.
A jade slip and a bamboo tablet whose purpose was unknown.
Chu Ning had previously come into contact with the jade slip with recorded contents from Zhuang Yunde.
Thinking of the secret method that Qi Chongmao had just mentioned, his eyes could not help but light up slightly.
He took the jade slip and put it close to his forehead, and immediately, the information on the jade slip appeared in his mind.
When Chu Ning finished reading the information on the entire jade slip, he felt both relieved and scared.
The jade slip actually recorded a fragmentary secret method called the Soul Refining Technique.
This secret method is indeed a method for cultivating spiritual consciousness, and its power lies in the fact that even cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining can practice it.
This Soul Refining Technique has four levels.
If the first level is successfully cultivated, the spiritual consciousness can be increased by 1 times, the second level can be increased by 2 times, the third level can be increased by 4 times, and the fourth level can be increased by more than 8 times.
Unfortunately, this jade slip only records the first two levels of the Soul Refining Technique.
At the same time, this soul-refining technique has two secret techniques before and after it. The first secret technique can test the innate state of the practitioner's spiritual consciousness.
Although this soul-refining technique can be practiced by cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training.
But according to what has been said above, the stronger the innate spiritual consciousness is, the easier it is to practice and the better the effect.
On the contrary, if the innate spiritual consciousness is too weak, it is also very difficult to practice.
And another secret technique recorded in it is called the phantom divine thorn.
You can use the spiritual consciousness to launch an attack, so that the opponent's spiritual consciousness is instantly restrained and unable to use magic power.
Because according to what is said in this soul-refining technique, even if the cultivators in the Qi training stage cannot cultivate the spiritual consciousness, the spiritual consciousness is equally important.
Once the spiritual consciousness is attacked by a strong attack, it cannot use magic power.
This secret technique is best used after the first level of the soul-refining technique is cultivated to the perfect state, and it is more powerful.
If the spiritual consciousness is strong enough when cultivated to the third and fourth levels, the opponent's spiritual consciousness can be wiped out instantly, and the opponent can be killed silently.
The disadvantages of this secret technique are also very obvious. First, when one's own consciousness is not strong enough, using the secret technique will damage one's own consciousness.
Secondly, if the opponent's consciousness is strong, it is easy to suffer backlash.
After reading this jade slip, Chu Ning now has a general understanding of what happened to Qi Chongmao before.
Obviously, Qi Chongmao wanted to fight quickly, so he used the phantom thorn on himself right away.
From this point of view, the opponent should have obtained this soul-refining technique for a long time and has already practiced the secret technique.
As for why the opponent's phantom divine thorn allowed him to recover in such a short time.
Either the opponent's spiritual consciousness is not strong, and he has not yet cultivated to the first level of perfection.
So the effect of this phantom divine thorn is average.
Or...
Thinking of this, Chu Ning's eyes glowed faintly.
Is there a possibility that his spiritual consciousness is naturally good.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and Chu Ning's excitement disappeared again.
After all, so many attempts before have fully told him that without the spiritual body talent, his performance in other aspects is really average.
And neither the Yinmu spiritual body nor the Fuyuan spiritual body brought any content about spiritual consciousness.
Of course, thinking is thinking, it is still necessary to test it, after all, this is related to whether this secret technique can be practiced.
And the role of spiritual consciousness, even if the phantom divine thorn is not mentioned, is also huge in the detection and sensing.
Slowly closing his eyes, Chu Ning began to sense his spiritual consciousness according to the method in this secret technique to test the strength of his spiritual consciousness.
A quarter of an hour later, when Chu Ning opened his eyes again, there was excitement and surprise in his eyes.
"My spiritual consciousness is so strong, almost twice that of an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator!"
Chu Ning was indeed very surprised. He did not expect that he, who had a mediocre talent in spiritual roots, would have such an outstanding performance in spiritual consciousness.
It is not difficult to understand why Qi Chongmao, even after practicing the Phantom God Thorn, only made himself unable to use magic power for a short period of time, and then quickly recovered.
If Qi Chongmao's spiritual consciousness is at the normal level of an ordinary cultivator.
Then even if he practiced this spiritual refining technique, he has not yet reached the first level of perfection, which is just a little bit stronger than Chu Ning's spiritual consciousness.
"Since I have a natural advantage in spiritual consciousness, I will naturally practice this spiritual refining technique.
As for the lack of subsequent levels, I can only think of a way later."
Chu Ning muttered to himself, and at this time he realized that he seemed to have a lot of skills to find later.
Qingmu Changchun Gong can only be practiced to the late stage of Qi refining. He only has the first volume of Jiuyan Refining Body Art, and he only has the first two levels of this spiritual refining technique.
While Chu Ning was determined to practice, he also secretly warned himself in his heart.
This Phantom God Thorn should be used as much as possible, after all, it is not certain what the other party's consciousness is like.
Don't end up like Qi Chongmao.
Otherwise, with the other party's sixth level of Qi Refining, if the Phantom God Thorn didn't happen to meet Chu Ning's strong consciousness, the loss would be too great.
Those talismans and spells must have caused some trouble for Chu Ning.
