Chapter Fifty-two: Difficulty in Understanding

  This leather-bound book is not thick, and when I opened the first page, there was a letter from Qin Wen inside. In addition to words of encouragement, it also explained that the swordsmanship he had taught Guo Fei was what he had learned in his youth, called "Flowing Light". This swordsmanship uses Jin Yuan's Qi to transform its edges into the most overbearing. When it reaches an extremely high level, the sword is like flowing light, the edge is like an arrow, and the golden light has a million ways, with momentum like a rainbow.

  However, the method of Qigong that was passed down to Guo Fei was actually the "Five Elements Qi Path" which was a foundational exercise for the imperial family members of the Great Qin Empire. Regular practice could strengthen one's body and improve health, but after reaching the source realm, it would no longer be of great use.

  Guo Fei opened the "Jin Dao Lung Jing" with an excited heart, but after reading for three hours, he suddenly felt foolish. The first page stated that this method must be practiced by people with a gold attribute physique, and practicing it with other five-element attributes would have no effect and even be harmful.

  At present, Guo Fei still does not dare to confirm his own five elements attribute, Wen Shu is just guessing it as gold attribute, in order to be safe must find a place to test it. But where to test, Guo Fei doesn't know.

  Secondly, the formula and sentences are like heavenly books, Guo Fei can't understand them. There are many nouns and terms inside that Guo Fei doesn't comprehend, and the language is difficult to understand, leaving him bewildered.

  Guo Fei pondered for a long time and inferred the crux of the matter. If this "Jin Dao Lung Jing" could be understood at a glance, then there would be many masters in the world. In a large family, generally any disciple of the same clan can practice it, but only a few become skilled after practicing. Therefore, the text must rely on one's own understanding, so Wen Shu did not give guidance, fearing that giving guidance might be counterproductive. The existence of "yuan" is different for each cultivator, and there is no experience to draw upon.

  Secondly, there are many terms inside that I don't understand, which shows that my foundation is too poor. It's just like asking a student who only has primary school math level to analyze advanced math or linear algebra, it's simply impossible.

  Recalling the promise Zhao Xue made at that time, allowing him to enter the Lord's manor library to read books, Guo Fei was indeed moved, but at that time did not think it was particularly important. Now looking back, for a cultivator without background or connections, this is more valuable than being awarded gold coins.

  Although the words were not understood, Guo Fei still saw that this "Jin Dao Lung Jing" recorded three layers of gong fa. One was the method of cultivating the source boundary in three layers, followed by the method of using yuan qi to refine the golden body, and it was necessary for the golden body to be small before entering the transformation boundary. The transformation boundary meant that one had entered the ranks of Wu Zun.

  Finally, Wen Shu inferred another layer of mind method above the source boundary based on his own cultivation experience, the law of Huajing. Wen Shu only fumbled out a little bit of the way and just stepped into the ranks of the respected ones.

  Another Guo Fei was not very moved, using the yuanqi to refine the golden body method, had a great temptation for Guo Fei, refining the golden body, he could freely increase the level of his troops without worrying about his body being unable to bear the energy of the troops and being unable to move forward.

  "It seems like I have to go to Heishi County." Guo Fei said with determination.

  Then, Guo Fei bit his finger and dripped blood into the Qian Kun ring obtained from Sha Wujue, opening the Qian Kun ring.

  As expected, just like Xiao Hei said, the old ghost Sha Wu Zhou's treasure, the Ling Stone, was almost depleted, leaving only a hundred gold coins and a book called "War Ghost Breeding Technique". Guo Fei didn't intend to read it, but curiosity got the better of him and he flipped through it.

  This book is not difficult to understand and can be easily understood. I also learned a lot of knowledge from it.

  War spirit, itself is the same as the ghost tribe, it's just that the human tribe gave it a name to distinguish it from the ghost tribe. The undead mage is a mage who gains power by raising war spirits.

  The unconscious terrestrial soul wants to grow and evolve, it must swallow the energy of Jingqi, that is, the seven souls' energy in the flesh. The terrestrial soul does not exist only in the Netherworld, but is born with the life soul and heavenly soul. When a person dies, their masterless terrestrial soul will stay in the mortal world for a period before re-entering the Netherworld. During this period of time, the masterless terrestrial soul can be summoned by a practitioner, fed with essence, and gradually grow up.

  The first technique in this book is the "War Ghost Breeding Technique". Guo Fei would not practice it, using his own essence to breed war ghosts or stripping away other people's essence to breed them. Guo Fei thought both were unfeasible and understood why Dao Sha had no incantation - he became half-human and half-ghost because he often coexisted with the earth spirits.

  Guo Fei wouldn't waste his energy on this, compared to his own undead minions which were more formidable, easier to cultivate and more cost-effective. The undead were aberrant beings whose souls and bodies were tightly bound together, although they also used death energy to attack like the ghost tribe, but when not attacking, their death energy was completely contained within their bodies, hardly different from humans.

  The second technique in this book is the "Soul Summoning Technique", used to obtain earth souls. Guo Fei roughly looked through it, and found that this "Soul Summoning Technique" was very complicated, requiring many materials. Moreover, the most important thing was to find a suitable object, such as people who died unjustly or prematurely. However, from Xiao Hei's mouth, he learned that Sha Wu Zhou also obtained earth souls from the skull staff without doing anything.

  The third technique recorded in the book was about cultivating "Soul Devouring Gu", which was even more complicated, and Guo Fei simply took a brief look before putting it down.

  The fourth technique recorded in the book is the "Cán Yè Xīn Fǎ" (Residual Night Heart Method). Whenever a practitioner of this art raises a battle ghost, the ghost will involuntarily absorb their vital energy. The power of the seven spirits is originally one with the soul, and when the vital energy is absorbed, the soul is damaged, causing the practitioner to gradually weaken and their lifespan to be quickly consumed. In order to slow down the dissipation of their lifespan, this "Cán Yè Xīn Fǎ" was researched.

  Guo Fei read it once and suddenly had some admiration for the person who created this mental method. The book explains that Can Ye is the moment when yin reaches its extreme and yang begins, the half-hour period before sunrise. At this time, yin and yang are in harmony, the purple energy rises from the east, and a pure yin weak yang energy permeates between heaven and earth, which is the nourishing sacred product of the seven po. By absorbing it into the body to nourish the po, it can make the seven po grow stronger and stronger, and thus make the soul strong and healthy.

  However, the pure yin and weak yang energy is extremely rare. This person created a set of breathing exercises that allow practitioners to escape from densely populated areas and retreat into the mountains and forests to absorb this pure yin and weak yang energy.

  "This is indeed an excellent method for prolonging one's life!" Guo Fei's eyes lit up. He knew that with a strong soul and body, one's lifespan would be long. It seemed that the demons all hid in the deep mountains and forests to cultivate in secret, their lifespans extremely long, and there must be a reason why they absorbed the pure yin and weak yang energy.

  Finally, the book further interprets the death sorcerer. Guo Fei took a look and knew that Sha Wujue was still a little short of the standard for a death sorcerer. A true death sorcerer must have a ghost general of the ghost general level, and the ghost general will refine the dead energy into pure yin energy. Only by using the yin energy to cast the death spell can one be called a true death sorcerer.

  Moreover, the terrifying and tyrannical death magic made Guo Fei deeply wary of death mages. However, it was only mentioned in passing in the book, and it is unknown how death mages were formed.

  "The aura of death, it turns out that a higher level of death energy is actually the aura of darkness. It's a technique that can be used by ghost generals." Guo Fei thought to himself.

  "Xiao Yue!" Guo Fei called out after finishing reading the book, thinking about Hu Xiao Yue's mysterious silk thread technique.

  "What's the matter, master?"

  "Xiao Yue, can you practice this set of 'Remnant Night Heart Method'?" Guo Fei asked thoughtfully.

  Guo Fei originally wanted to read it out loud for her, fearing she wouldn't understand mainland Chinese characters. Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoyue took it and began to carefully examine it. Moreover, she seemed to be quite familiar with the human language, leaving Guo Fei astonished.

  "Our clan, the Fox Clan, is known for being wise among the demonic clans. After gaining spiritual intelligence, we learn various scripts under our ancestors' guidance and understand knowledge from all over the continent. This is our way of survival. After hundreds of years of wandering and learning, I naturally understand these things." Hu Xiaoyue explained softly, noticing Guo Fei's confusion.

  Hu Xiaoyue looked and looked, a look of extreme joy appeared on her face, and even her body trembled.

  "Master, this technique is extremely important for our demon tribe. We cultivate with yuanqi, but the progress is slow because yuanqi is the energy of the dominant path. Although our demonic beastly souls are powerful, they can't withstand a large amount of yuanqi directly invading them, so we can only slowly nourish them day by day, gradually transforming the beastly soul into a pure yuanqi body. Now that I have the Nourishing Soul Heart Method, I can work on both aspects simultaneously, quickly catalyzing the beastly soul to transform it into a pure yuanqi body, making it a powerful assistant for my attacks!"

  "Haha. That's great, let's practice together!" Guo Fei saw her delicate and surprised expression and knew the excitement in her heart. He smiled immediately.
