Chapter Fifty-Three: The True Soul Cultivator

  It's getting late, and Zhuo Yifan and the others have returned to Master Lan's residence.

  "Wild fruit? Shallot and white porridge? How is there not a single drop of oil or water..."

  The whole table was filled with a list of dishes, and Leishi really wanted to rush out of the village, catch a spiritual beast, roast it and have a great time eating.

  Days without meat were unbearable for Zhuo Yifan and Le Shi, two carnivores. However, the two eventually couldn't stand their hunger and devoured wild fruits and a large pot of clear porridge.

  In the Blood Prison, being able to live a life similar to the outside world is already a blessing. If one were to hope for more, it would be too greedy. One should know that there are still many people wandering in the forest right now. Thinking of this, the two no longer spoke of eating meat and fell silent.

  "I heard you two just had a fight with someone from the Zhou family?" Blue Dye said, looking at the two of them.

  "A bunch of trash, my godlike teammate and I took down over a dozen people, and there was even one called Zhou Wubing who we beat into a pig head." Leishi said with relish, biting into the red fruit.

  "Haha, I didn't think you two could still rival a Soul Cultivator? You've surprised me." Blue Dye narrowed her eyes as she gazed at the duo.

  "Soul cultivator" refers to a meditator?

  "Meditator is just a common name for worldly people, it's just a title. But meditators are truly soul cultivators."

  "Is this really Soul Refining? Aren't all cultivators who have reached the Three Hallowed Halls realm Soul Refiners? How can there be true and false?" The two asked in surprise.

  Lan Dye was silent for a moment before saying, "After reaching the Three Mysteries Realm, one usually forms a Soul Pellet or a Barbarian Pellet within their body. This is how people determine whether they are a Soul Cultivator or a Body Cultivator. From then on, they would cultivate and strengthen their Soul Pellet or Barbarian Pellet to increase their own power."

  "This boundary is a way for the secular world to judge nobility and baseness. Because in the eyes of you worldly people, physical cultivators are inferior to soul cultivators. And those soul qualities that are below the top grade, unable to even enter the Three Mysterious Realms, are treated with inhuman treatment."

  Lan's words made Zhuo Yifan's heart skip a beat, this was simply hitting the nail on the head.

  "But in my opinion, these worldly remarks are the most ridiculous. Those so-called soul cultivators are just fake soul cultivators. They think that by introducing spiritual energy into the dantian to refine the soul dan, increase the intensity of the soul, and strengthen the flesh and strength, they can become a true soul cultivator? What a joke!" Blue Master sneered with laughter.

  "When it comes to soul cultivation, I have to tell you about the relationship between souls. I once read a Buddhist scripture called 'Mahaprajnaparamita Sastra', which believes that the physical body is like a furnace, and the soul is the true self. All living beings in the world are equal, and they all have souls. The physical body decays after a hundred years, but the soul is eternal and immortal."

  "Does Lao Lan understand Buddhism?"

  "Buddhist studies are vast and profound, with subtleties that anyone with discernment would want to comprehend. I only have a superficial understanding."

  "Speaking of which," said Lan Ran, pointing to a pot of orchids at the door, "I ask you, does grass have a soul?"

  "Whatever..." Leishi coldly smiled and thought this was simply too ridiculous.

  "Not bad, all living things are equal, everything in the world has a soul. Even grass does." Blue Grandfather walked to the side of this potted orchid and gently stroked it, while the orchid also slightly swayed for him.

  Neither of them understood what Lán Yé was doing?

  Lan Ye held the orchid pot and came to the two people's side, saying: "Don't underestimate a simple movement. In fact, this pot of orchids has unintentionally shown resistance to my recent actions."

  "Don't believe?"

  The blue grandfather looked at the two people with their mouths agape, and smiled faintly: "All living things are equal. Grass will grow and also wither away. Why does it wither away? It's because its soul has died. People often say that when the brain dies, one is dead. In fact, the extinction of the spirit is the true demise. Just now, I poked at the orchid grass, and the orchid grass's spiritual consciousness responded to me, resisting my rudeness, and it returned to its original shape."

  "What is a spiritual brain?" Zhu Yifan and Le Shi both found it somewhat ridiculous, and at first glance, it was simply absurd.

  "The spiritual brain is the pivot of the soul, it's the brain of the soul. When the spiritual brain is gone, everything is gone. And what I'm talking about, cultivating the soul, must start from this spiritual brain. This is the beginning of the true soul cultivation path, starting from here, you should soon be able to experience the subtlety of soul meditation."

  Zhuo Yifan paused for a moment, slightly enlightened: "So to speak, the spiritual brain is the key to cultivating the soul, and the depth of the so-called spiritual contemplation depends entirely on the training of the spiritual brain."

  "What you said is not wrong, the so-called Ling brain is the key to cultivating the soul, and it often determines the gap between two soul cultivators. It is the center of the soul and also the core of meditation. We all know that spiritual power comes from the convergence of heaven and earth in the dantian, while meditative power is born from the cultivation of the Ling brain. Activating the Ling brain allows one to accumulate meditative power, which can then be released suddenly in battle."

  According to Blue Dye, the spiritual brain is the source of the soul, and not everyone's soul cultivation can activate it. However, once the spiritual brain is excavated, it will bring the cultivator power several times over.

  "For ordinary people, the soul provides the driving force for life. When the soul is completely exhausted, it's the end of life. However, cultivators can rely on their spiritual brain to supplement the power of their soul."

  "Is that to say that as long as the spiritual brain is cultivated, and the soul is continuously tempered and strengthened, one can attain eternal life?" The two people were shocked and asked curiously.

  "In theory, yes, that's correct, a strong soul would mean immortality."

  Upon hearing Lán Yé's confirmation, both of them burst out laughing. They had originally thought that eternal life was just a myth, but it turned out to be true after all.

  "Don't be too ambitious. Achieving eternal life is possible, but the soul that enters such a realm will be invincible and supreme. It's a realm of unparalleled heights. You two are just insignificant kids who haven't even activated your spiritual brains, so don't harbor foolish fantasies. Even for gods, achieving eternal life is extremely difficult."

  "Will God die too?"

  "There is no supreme soul, and gods will also die. The spiritual brain is the beginning of refining the soul, it's the foundation of a soul refiner. There are nine realms for cultivators, after cycling through the seven-colored spiritual energy, they'll enter the eighth realm, the Boundless Heaven Realm, and finally become a god! As long as your souls can be sublimated, becoming a god isn't a difficult thing."

  "Where is the soul?"

  Lan Ye broke off a blade of orchid grass, gently tapping the top of Le Shi's head, "The spiritual brain is the brain of the soul, and its location is three inches below the midpoint between the eyebrows and the back of the brain. In simpler terms, it is the Mud Ball Palace. And this, is the starting point of the souls of all things."

  Leshi and Zhuoyi were both surprised at the same time, suddenly thinking of Ling Brain as the spiritual origin of the human body, which is the most mysterious, most critical place beyond everything, or a region.

  Soul brain, the brain of the soul. Is it in a place like this?

  "So, a true soul cultivator is not one of those foolish people who think they are something just because they have condensed a soul pellet. A soul cultivator's methods reach the heavens, able to use their soul to attack, able to use their soul to transcend boundaries, grasping victory and defeat in the intangible realm. They can disrupt the enemy through their soul, striking a fatal blow when the enemy is bewildered."

  Lan Dian Dao said: "Take Zhou Wu Bing as an example, his mental strength is quite good. However, it's just the beginning, and he only belongs to a one-star primary soul cultivator. Soul cultivators are divided into eight stars, truly powerful soul cultivators can completely repair their bodies even if they are destroyed, and can even create illusions with their souls, with just a thought, the heavens and earth will be destroyed!"

  Zhuo Yifan and Leishi couldn't help but open their mouths wide, one thought reunion, one thought heaven and earth cracking, still able to create illusions, what a powerful level is this? If they really grasped this power, wouldn't the Blood Hell be at their beck and call?

  "Of course, it's still a bit early to talk about the Spirit Brain and such heaven-defying powers. But I hope you can understand the strength of a Soul Cultivator." Lan Shuang said, pausing for a moment before continuing: "Hehe, after saying so much, I haven't even thanked you for saving Shuang'er. If you want to become true Soul Cultivators, I can take you as my disciples."
