Chapter 76: War Spirit Temple

  In the instant when the cold ice spirit flowed out of the War Soul Pearl, in Jiang Cheng's feeling, this world around him suddenly became a crowded place.

  Everywhere is filled with colorful heaven and earth Yuanqi, blue water attribute Yuanqi, red fire attribute Yuanqi, yellow earth attribute Yuanqi, wooden attribute Yuanqi that gives a sense of vitality at a glance, and sharp and white gold attribute Yuanqi.

  The entire universe seems to be filled with these five elemental energies, and occasionally flows with one or two kinds of gases that Jiang Cheng doesn't recognize. However, the distribution density of these five elemental energies of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth is different.

  The earth element has the most yuanqi, followed by the wood and water elements. The metal element comes next, while the fire element has the least. The cold ice spiritual power in Jiang Cheng's body is non-existent in the world.

  When the spiritual power inside Jiang Cheng's dantian and qihai surged out from the nine Warsoul beads, flowing through different meridians to form a circuit of nine meridian pathways within his body.

  The water system yuanqi that fills the space between heaven and earth is like metal being attracted to a magnet, and it is all absorbed into the nine meridians by the cold ice spirit power that Jiang Cheng operates internally.

  The water-based yuanqi absorbed into the body was brought back to the dantian linghai by the cold ice spirit power circulating in the meridian circuit, and Jiang Cheng's battle soul, the cold ice qilin, faintly lit up. The water-based yuan force brought back to the dantian linghai instantly transformed into icy, bone-piercing cold ice spirit power.

  In the next instant, the newly transformed icy spiritual power once again surged through the Battle Soul Pearl into the nine meridians, bringing back even more water-elemental primal forces and transforming them into icy spiritual power.

  Under the cycle of rebirth, the icy spiritual power in Jiang's Dantian Linghai began to slowly expand.

  However, that majestic speed was slow to the point of making Jiang Cheng furious.

  Jiang Chen estimated that at his current speed, it would be impossible for him to advance from the early stage of the Soul Devouring Realm to the middle stage without two years of bitter cultivation.

  This is because he has a Xuanjie Lower Grade Warsoul, if it were the Huangjie Upper Grade Blood Tooth Boar King Warsoul from before, even wanting to break through from the early stages of the Devouring Spirit Realm to the middle stages would take at least four or five years.

  This is the great role of Battle Soul in the cultivation of Soul Warriors.

  Every time a Soul Warrior's combat soul ranking is upgraded, even if it's just by adding one more combat soul bead, the speed at which they absorb the heavens and earth's primal energy will greatly increase, with extremely noticeable effects.

  If a Soul Warrior with a top-grade Yellow War Soul gains an additional War Soul Bead, their cultivation speed can increase by one-fifth of the original speed.

  If Jiang Cheng were to obtain one more Soul Pearl, his cultivation speed would increase by a tenth of its current rate.

  In other words, if that's the case, then Jiang Cheng can save two and a half months of time to advance from the early stage of Soul Devouring Realm to the middle stage.

  However, the opportunity to upgrade the combat soul's rank is extremely rare and precious, except for the fixed opportunities when breaking through the boundary with the help of the breakthrough force to devour the combat spirit.

  Apart from upgrading the rank of the war soul to increase the cultivation speed, elixirs are also one of the most important ways to increase the cultivation speed. However, the prices of elixirs are all extremely expensive.

  However, these are not a problem for Jiang Cheng. He has the Black Spirit Tower, which can directly refine spiritual medicine into spiritual energy to increase his cultivation speed.

  Feeling the slow increase in spiritual energy within his body, Jiang Cheng's divine thought stirred, and he slightly urged on the swirling Black Spirit Tower in his mind. In the instant when a pure spiritual energy flowed out from the bottom of the Black Spirit Tower, Jiang Cheng's cultivation speed suddenly increased several times over.

  As the Black Spirit Tower released its spiritual energy and enhanced his cultivation, Jiang Cheng's eyebrows furrowed instead.

  He had used up the sword leaf grass he got from Giant Elephant Set a long time ago, and after his cultivation broke through to Devouring Spirit Realm, the medicinal effect of sword leaf grass was no longer sufficient.

  Roughly estimated, the medicinal power of a dozen or so sword-leaf grasses wouldn't even be enough to support Jiang Cheng's cultivation for one night. Nowadays, the spiritual energy spewed out by the Black Spirit Tower is still from the small number of stone milks that Jiang Cheng obtained from the Water Curtain Cave and let the Black Spirit Tower refine, which can barely sustain Jiang Cheng's cultivation over these days.

  Just as he was thinking, the Black Spirit Tower spinning in Jiang Cheng's mind suddenly dimmed, and the spiritual energy that had been spewing out from the bottom of the tower suddenly stopped, and it abruptly withdrew back into Jiang Cheng's mind.

  "It's gone? It seems I need to hurry up and get some spiritual medicine to boost my cultivation."

  He was taken aback for a moment, but Jiang Cheng could only grit his teeth and continue to urge the War Soul Pearl to cultivate. Although the cultivation speed was very slow without the help of the Black Spirit Tower, Jiang Cheng knew that every step counted and would eventually lead to progress.

  Ice-blue chill energy circulated non-stop in the nine meridians, continuously enhancing Jiang Cheng's cultivation.

  Jiang Cheng was startled awake from his cultivation state by a piercing gaze.

  "Jiang brothers, I finally understand why you can enter the Soul Devouring Realm at the age of sixteen. Last night we were all drunk, but you still got up in the middle of the night to persist in cultivation. This diligence is truly not a cover!"

  Hou Pan, with his hair disheveled, stared at Jiang Cheng and said seriously, "It's not right, usually it takes 14 or 15 years to start worshiping the ancestral spirit totem before being granted a battle soul. To break through to the Devouring Soul Realm in just two years is truly not simple."

  Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile secretly at the thought. If Hou Pan knew that he had only been in possession of the war soul for a little over four months, what kind of expression would he have?

  "Hot steamed buns are here, all kinds of fillings available, come and eat quickly!" Geng Xinyu stepped in from the door, carrying a large food basket. When Jiang Cheng's gaze swept over, Geng Xinyu's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she inexplicably avoided Jiang Cheng's gaze.

  "Huh? New Rain sister is actually blushing, this is... uh..."

  Hou Pan's words were cut off by a scalding hot bun that was stuffed directly into his mouth, "You talk too much, see if it burns your tongue."

  "Hurry up and eat, finish your meal quickly and go find a place to live!"

  "Looking for a house?" Jiang Cheng and Hou Mo asked in unison.

  Upon hearing this, Geng Xin's eyebrows furrowed and stood on end, "What, you guys still want to live here with me? No matter what, men and women are different..."

  When Geng Xinyu said the four words "men and women are different", Hou Pan suddenly showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and it wasn't until Geng Xinyu waved the bun in his hand that Hou Pan closed his mouth.

  "Oh, that's right, I'll go find it later!" Jiang Cheng replied casually, and then asked: "By the way, do you know where to buy things conveniently in this Biyuan Wang City?"

  Finding a place to stay wasn't something Jiang Cheng was in a hurry about, one day earlier or later didn't make much of a difference. As a mountain forest hunter, where he stayed didn't have any particular distinction. However, when it came to cultivation, not even a single day could be delayed.

  Whether it's going to find trouble with Director Hong or standing firm here, a strong cultivation is needed.

  "You'd better ask Xin Yu's sister, she knows it best!" said Hou Pan.

  "It depends on what you want to buy and sell." Geng Xinyu took a small bite of the fragrant baozi filling and said slowly, "If you want to buy dan medicine and ordinary battle soul equipment, except for particularly precious dan medicine, some pharmacies in Wangcheng can be bought. Dan medicine is a highly profitable product, and no one has restrictions!"

  "What if I were to buy some Soul Warrior skills and a few decent Spirit Medicines?" Jiang Cheng asked.

  "In the Medicine Pavilion within Lingyao Wangcheng, there are also some available, but high-grade rare spiritual medicines are not for sale. As for the War Soul Technique, it's even more difficult!"

  "The battle soul techniques that Xīn Yǔ practitioners cultivate are everywhere, even top-grade yellow rank battle soul techniques can be bought. However, the battle soul technique that a Shì Líng Jìng practitioner needs can only be found in one place," said Gěng Xīn Yǔ.

  "Where?" Jiang Cheng asked urgently.

  "War Spirit Temple!"

  "But to buy a battle soul technique from the Battle Spirit Temple, you must have an identity token from the State of Biyuan's Battle Spirit Temple. Otherwise, not only can't you buy a battle soul technique, but you can't even enter the temple." Geng Xinyu said.

  "How did you obtain the identity token of the War Spirit Temple in Bixuanguo?" Jiang Cheng asked.

  Geng Xinyu shook his head, "It's very difficult! Even for a Soul Warrior of the Biyuan Nation, it's not easy to obtain that identity token. Let alone someone like you, an outsider who is not from the Biyuan Nation, wanting to get the identity token of the War Spirit Temple, it's even more impossible!"

  Jiang Cheng's eyebrows suddenly furrowed into a川character, according to Geng Xin Yu's words, the spiritual medicine was not difficult to obtain, but the battle soul technique that matched his spiritual power was what Jiang Cheng urgently needed at present. Otherwise, the powerful icy spiritual power he possessed would also be unable to exert its might.

  If Jiang Cheng could obtain the corresponding battle soul technique, relying on the special power of his Frost Spirit, even if he encountered a mid-term or even stronger Soul Warrior in the Devouring Soul Realm, Jiang Cheng would still have the confidence to win.

  "What's wrong, do you urgently need a Battle Soul Technique?" Jiang Cheng furrowed his brow and asked with concern, "Yes, you just broke through to the Devouring Spirit Realm not long ago, so you must be in urgent need of a corresponding Battle Soul Technique."

  "That's right!" Jiang Cheng nodded.

  Geng Xinyu's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "If you can afford to pay a high price, there is a place where you might be able to buy the War Soul Technique. However, whether or not it suits you, I don't know."

  "Where?" Jiang Cheng asked hastily.
