The Path to Becoming Immortal

Seeing this, Ning Ping was shocked. It takes one to reach the Nascent Soul stage to condense the body of the Nascent Soul. What is this soul body of his? It seems that he can also release the consciousness according to the description, and he has the Soul Devouring Technique.

Could it be that his soul body is the Nascent Soul? Ning Ping stood there in disbelief.

But after thinking for a while, he realized that he should not be the Nascent Soul, but just different from ordinary people. Otherwise, it would be too shocking.

Moreover, he already has the sea of ​​consciousness that can only appear in the Foundation Establishment stage. Anyway, no matter how he applies it, he feels that it cannot be matched.

Then, between the lines, Ning Ping also found another way of cultivation that is different from that of cultivators, that is, soul cultivation. This is a special group of cultivators with special souls and a unique cultivation system, but it may be too secretive and not mentioned too much.

At this time, Ning Ping also realized that he might have to explore more in this direction, so he secretly remembered it in his heart.

Then he read a lot of cultivation experience, which are often compiled in the form of "xx insights", "xx experience", "xx perception" and so on.

These opened Ning Ping's eyes, and some of the cultivation techniques mentioned also benefited him a lot.

For example, in a book "Huang Jun's Experience", the use of Yuanli is mentioned. Yuanli actually has a lot of skills to use. The same technique and the same Yuanli have huge differences in power when used with different techniques.

However, among the many cultivation experience, Ning Ping noticed that all the directions were vaguely pointing in one direction, that is, the technique.

A good and suitable technique can often make the cultivation level increase with half the effort. Ning Ping also deeply agrees with this. Now that he has practiced the Changsheng Gong, it is several times faster than the previous Qiling Jue.

Another aspect is combat perception, which is also an important way to improve strength, and the improvement of realm often has unexpected gains.

Ning Ping also agreed with this. After this fight, Ning Ping had broken through to the third level of the Qi Refining Stage last night. It was because of this breakthrough that he thought of going to the alchemy room to have a look, and then there was this line of Guangming Bookstore.

With this understanding, after browsing the area of ​​​​gongfa books, Ning Ping was very disappointed. Many of the gongfa in it were either boastful or had many restrictions. They must be displayed in this bookstore just for people to see and serve as a reference.

However, in the same way, all the books have very few insights into the soul, and the words are just a brief mention, which makes Ning Ping feel uncomfortable. Of course, there are so many books, it may be that he just didn't see it, so he had to leave it for later discovery.

Finally, Ning Ping came to the alchemy books. Looking at the rows of books on alchemy, Ning Ping was also quite excited.

He took out a book and began to study it carefully.

As time went by, Ning Ping's face became more and more solemn. He really didn't expect that alchemy was not as simple as the vast sea that his master had said before.

Many books have mentioned that there is a huge connection between realm, strength of Yuanli, strength of soul, understanding ability, cognition of spiritual medicine, etc.

Ning Ping vaguely realized that alchemy is indeed greatly related to the strength of soul power. The above-mentioned direct and indirect factors are more or less related to soul power. No wonder Yang Qizhen finally practiced the Soul Devouring Technique and died in his own hands.

As he read more and more books, Ning Ping admired alchemy more and more. He felt that his cognition was just the tip of the iceberg. He also admired the predecessors who summed up such experience in alchemy. All these books were formed in countless failures.

In the actual operation of alchemy, the refining link alone made Ning Ping ashamed. He originally thought that the refining of spiritual medicine was all done by the power of flame temperature, but with a deeper understanding, he found that he was too limited.

Refining spiritual medicine is not just about fire, but also about the three true fires after the Jindan stage, and the unheard-of ice refining, which uses extremely low temperatures to extract the medicinal power of spiritual medicines, as well as water refining, Yuan refining, etc. The main purpose is to extract the medicinal power, and all of these are just means.

And as the first step, identifying medicines is the foundation for whether an alchemy is successful or the height that can be achieved. The book mentions that only by having a deep understanding of spiritual medicines can we have different ways of handling them in the actual operation of alchemy.

For example, the medicinal power contained in each spiritual medicine is different, and the temperature and time required for the next refining are different, which requires more subtle adjustment and control capabilities.

Ning Ping was so obsessed with flipping through it that he completely forgot about the time. Fortunately, no one came to disturb him, which made Ning Ping indulge in it all the time.

He also knew that he had originally thought that the alchemist was the end point. There are also alchemy masters and alchemy masters behind, and there are even more detailed divisions among them.

At this point, the alchemy path really unfolded an extremely magnificent scroll in front of Ning Ping.

Until a certain moment, Ning Ping finally finished reading the books on elixirs. Of course, he didn't read all of them. He just skipped over some obvious heresy or absurd remarks.

Ning Ping opened his bloodshot eyes wide. He didn't feel tired at all. His soul was extremely excited. What was amazing was that his soul power had completely recovered to its peak.

Satisfied, he came to the door and handed back the token in his hand. The affairs officer in front of him at this moment was the woman he met when he entered the bookstore, holding the token in his hand and staring blankly at him.

"I've taken a good look at it, please." Ning Ping said softly when he saw this.

At this moment, the woman came back to her senses: "There are 10 days in total, 10 spiritual stones, and you need to add 9 more."

Ning Ping was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that 10 days had passed quietly.

"You can't believe that you are so hardworking at such a young age." When Ning Ping took out the spirit stone, the woman was also extremely impressed.

"You're the longest person I've ever stayed at one time in my custody."

Ning Ping smiled slightly after hearing this, but did not respond. He turned around and walked out. Now that he had regained consciousness, waves of fatigue came through his mind. What he urgently needed now was a comfortable big bed at home to have a good sleep.

As soon as Shen Qingyao came back, she saw Ning Ping sleeping. Fortunately, she saw that there were no new injuries on his body. She reached out and touched his head, but he just twisted his body and continued to sleep again.

"Good morning, Sister Qing!" Ning Ping woke up early the next morning feeling refreshed and looking tired from yesterday. Of course he was aware of Shen Qingyao's return last night but he really didn't want to get up. Now he felt guilty for a while.

"Come here for breakfast, you guy. Where have you been these days? You disappear longer and longer. Haven't you noticed that you are getting more and more wanton?" Shen Qingyao said she was angry, but she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes. Can't live.

"Sister, I didn't go anywhere, I just stayed in the bookstore for ten days. I'll try to tell you where I'm going in the future." Ning Ping knew Shen Qingyao's worries, and felt quite relieved. It felt good to have someone caring about him. .

Sensing Ning Ping's apology, Shen Qingyao softened in her heart and said, "I'm just worried about something happening to you. Come over and eat quickly. I'll be busy later."

After a simple breakfast, Ning Ping has completely recovered. He is not going to continue the hunting mission today, but wants to rent an alchemy room to practice the alchemy he learned a few days ago. This is not what Yang Qizheng originally had in his storage bag. There are also some Thousand Spirit Grasses, which are just right for practicing.
