Volume 6: Wangchuan Chapter 48: Advanced Nascent Soul and New Magical Powers
Rich spiritual energy began to rush towards the golden elixir in Lu Qingshan’s dantian.
A tornado composed of spiritual power soon emerged in his dantian, raging fiercely.
After a few breaths, after absorbing a huge amount of pure spiritual power, Lu Qingshan's Nine-Pattern Golden Pill began to expand rapidly.
Above the golden elixir, the nine purple-gold patterns flashed with dazzling and noble light.
"【Daozang】upgraded to level 16, spiritual power +1000!"
"Your spiritual power limit exceeds 20,000, and your talent [Spiritual Power Transformation] (Primary) has been upgraded to [Spiritual Power Transformation] (Intermediate)!"
[Spiritual Power Transformation] (Intermediate): As your cultivation level increases, your control over spiritual power becomes more sophisticated and powerful. Spiritual power increase +50%.
"Your rank has been raised to Golden Core Perfection, Spiritual Awareness +50!"
"【Daozang】upgraded to level 17, spiritual power +1000!"
…
"【Daozang】upgraded to level 20, spiritual power +1000!"
"[Daozang] (Golden Elixir) has been upgraded to the highest level, and an additional spiritual power value of +10,000 has been obtained."
"The [Dao Zang] (Golden Elixir Chapter) has been upgraded to the highest level, and will awaken a magical power. The specific form and power of this magical power will be determined by the practitioner's perception of the artistic conception."
"Awakening the magical ..."
At this moment, in Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness, a blood-red edge, a gray cold edge, and an amorphous chaotic edge suddenly surged up, mixed with a little almost invisible spiritual light.
Lingmang represents the three major artistic conceptions that Lu Qingshan has comprehended.
The murderous sword intent of the unity state, the penetrating sword intent of annihilation of the unity state, and the immortal true meaning of the weakness state.
That bit of spiritual light is the incomplete true meaning of cause and effect.
Three spiritual lights of different colors and shapes quickly entangled with each other, penetrating and merging with each other.
Then, in the constant fusion, an extremely mysterious symbol gradually emerged. It was obscure and difficult to understand, but it carried the supreme mystery and continuously flowed with dazzling light.
At this moment, the point of spiritual light representing the true meaning of incomplete cause and effect suddenly merged into this seal.
Wow!
This spiritual light seemed to have triggered some reaction, and the talisman began to shake violently, making a clear and pleasant vibrating sound.
After a moment, the rune broke into pieces, constantly evolving and changing, and began to reorganize.
One after another, star points danced in Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness, turning into rain of light, moving and undulating, revealing mysterious wonders.
In the end, the star actually turned into a black fish, floating up and down in Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness, with an astonishing scene.
This is the true magical power, which contains supreme mysteries and is extremely complex. It is so spiritual that it has become a living thing.
The black fish swam in Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness for a while, as if searching for something.
Finally, the fish found what it was looking for, swung its tail, and suddenly jumped out .
It swam away from Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness and swam towards a certain place.
The target was Lu Qingshan's pupils.
“Hmm—”
The black fish went straight into Lu Qingshan's ink-black eyes, and Lu Qingshan felt a strange itch in his eyes.
It's like the strange itch when a wound begins to heal and new flesh grows.
Yes, something was rapidly growing and taking shape in Lu Qingshan’s eyes.
"A magical power is about to be born, please do not interrupt."
"Three, two, one!"
After three breaths, the strange itchy feeling in Lu Qingshan's eyes disappeared.
A few lines of firefly-like small words flashed out at the right time.
"The magical power you awakened is, pupil technique: distinguishing evil | Xiezhi."
"When you see people fighting, you touch those who are not upright; when you hear people arguing, you criticize those who are not upright."
"This magical power has two levels of power."
"The first level, Identify Evil: Detect the murderous aura of other living beings, regardless of whether the living beings have emotional fluctuations.
"The second level, Xiezhi: The pupil contains sword intent. After activating this pupil technique, it will induce a sword energy to attack the enemy in sight. After hitting the enemy, Xiezhi will appear and launch an attack on the enemy's soul. The power of Xiezhi depends on the realm of the soul of the owner of the magical power."
"Explanation: This pupil technique consumes a great deal of spiritual consciousness."
"Additional explanation: This is the pupil technique of artistic conception. As the four artistic conceptions that make up the pupil technique become stronger, the power of Xiezhi will also become increasingly powerful."
Lu Qingshan was extremely satisfied.
The Taoist magical power, which is condensed from the original true meaning and the higher artistic conception, is indeed very powerful.
Moreover, this is the first soul attack technique that Lu Qingshan has mastered.
"It has been detected that you have reached the upper limit of your current rank. You can choose the Nascent Soul advancement task!"
"Please select the difficulty of the Nascent Soul advancement (first to ninth grade, with ninth grade being the highest). Note that the higher the difficulty of the advancement task you complete, the higher the bonus you will receive from the advancement, and the stronger the quality of the Nascent Soul you will form."
"Choose the ninth level of advanced difficulty." Lu Qingshan did not hesitate.
"Obtain the requirements for the ninth-grade advanced mission."
"First, the quality of the golden elixir must reach the level of a nine-pattern golden elixir. This is a prerequisite."
"Second, to learn a Nascent Soul technique, the technique must be at Dao level. This is a prerequisite."
"Three, master the talent [Spiritual Power Transformation] (Intermediate)."
"Fourth, the Yuan Shen realm has reached the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, and is currently in the late stage of the Condensation Realm (655/1000)."
"Five, kill enemies of the same level (0/50), kill enemies of higher levels (0/5)."
"Since you used the divine item: Origin of the Oblivion River, this divine item can skip the advanced requirements except the prerequisites. Do you want to skip it?"
What the Lord of Huangquan Prison said, that the origin of Wangchuan River can help Lu Qingshan advance to the Nascent Soul stage without any negative impact, is reflected here.
"yes."
Lu Qingshan's heart moved, and he quickly took out the "Heaven-cutting Sword Sutra" (Nascent Soul Chapter) and probed his spiritual sense into it.
"The Nascent Soul Chapter of the Heaven-Severing Sword Scripture has been detected. Do you want to learn it?"
[Heaven-cutting Sword Scripture] (Nascent Soul Chapter)
Level: Dao level
Description: Dao Sword is the innate Qi. Yuanying Gongfa is divided into 20 levels.
Effect 1: With each level increase, the upper limit of spiritual power increases by 10,000 points.
Effect 2: Spiritual power recovery speed +100%
Effect 3 of the skill: The spiritual energy cultivated by the Jie Tian Sword Sutra will have a sharp nature, and the killing power of the condensed sword energy will be even stronger.
Effect 4 of the skill: When the Jie Tian Sword Sutra is cultivated to level 20, the upper limit of additional spiritual power will be increased by 100,000 points.

Effect 6: The Nascent Soul condensed by the Heaven-Severing Sword Sutra can generate a sword orifice, which can quickly nourish the natal sword. Currently, one sword orifice can be generated.
Effect 7 of the skill: As a Taoist skill, the experience points required to upgrade the Heaven-cutting Sword Sutra will be 200% of that of ordinary skills.
"Study." Lu Qingshan said firmly.
The spiritual power transformed from the origin of Wangchuan River is endless.
Lu Qingshan's dantian turned into a furnace of heaven and earth, constantly refining the spiritual power, and began to vibrate loudly.
The purple-gold patterns on the Purple-Gold Nine-Pattern Golden Pill became more and more dazzling. With the continuous infusion of spiritual power, its size expanded again, and spider-like cracks gradually appeared.
Sharp rays of light shot out from these cracks.
Click, click, click!
As time passed slowly, Lu Qingshan's Nine-Pattern Golden Pill showed signs of breaking, as if something was about to break out of the shell.
After a moment, the Nine-Pattern Golden Pill shattered with a loud bang and turned into a chaotic vortex of spiritual energy.
The shattered shells of the Nine-Patterned Golden Pill turned into purple-gold light and flashed suddenly.
Within this vortex of spiritual energy, the purple-gold light directly spread within Lu Qingshan’s dantian and continued to condense.
Gradually, a vague outline appeared in Lu Qingshan's dantian.
The outline is becoming increasingly solid and clear.
As the outline continued to change, the blood in Lu Qingshan's body began to circulate faster, and blood and energy surged out, shaking violently.
One after another, pure spiritual energy was cleansing and strengthening his body, expelling impurities from it.
Under the cleansing of these spiritual powers, Lu Qingshan looked more and more elegant and extraordinary. His body seemed to have turned into a piece of gem, crystal clear and emitting divine light.
There was also a big movement in the sea of consciousness.
The soul, which had grown to seven feet and five inches, began to transform once again, growing inch by inch.
It continued to grow until it was eight feet six inches long, completing the transformation.
The advancement of Jindan to Yuanying is a comprehensive promotion, which is not only in the level of cultivation, but also includes the realm of physical body and soul.
In the underworld, there is only death energy, but no spiritual power.
But at this moment, the ubiquitous Yellow Springs death energy actually surrounded Lu Qingshan, forming a vortex of death energy that continuously flowed into Lu Qingshan's body.
After entering Lu Qingshan's body, these dead air underwent a strange change and became pure spiritual power.
Mysterious and indescribable.
Lu Qingshan's aura began to rise continuously.
From afar, Lu Qingshan looked like a star, with bright starlight constantly radiating from his body.
The starlight is growing stronger, brighter and more dazzling.
"The pinnacle of Nascent Soul?" The Lord of the Yellow Springs Prison could not help but mutter when he saw Lu Qingshan's condition and aura.
The Nascent Soul Stage is an important watershed. The transformation from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul is like the formation of a cultivator’s second life.
This kind of promotion will bring earth-shaking changes to the monks.
The quality of the Nascent Soul will determine the magnitude of this change.
The higher the quality, the greater the changes and benefits to the monks will naturally be.
If a cultivator's own cultivation and combat power are regarded as a base number, the quality of the Nascent Soul is like a multiple.
The higher the multiplier, the stronger the combat power.
The multiple of the Nascent Soul obtained by advancing to the first grade is one, the multiple of the Nascent Soul obtained by advancing to the second grade is two, and so on.
The Nascent Soul condensed by Lu Qingshan through the ninth-grade advancement task is naturally of the highest quality, with a multiple of nine, and is called the ultimate Nascent Soul.
Because of the different quality of the Nascent Soul, the combat power of cultivators of the same level can also be very different.
Cultivators who have condensed their Nascent Souls below the third level are collectively referred to as Weak Infants.
This kind of cultivator is usually a casual cultivator or a cultivator from a small sect. They do not have enough accumulation, their foundation is unstable, and their skills are of low level, so they can only barely become an infant.
There are also a small number of cultivators who have little time left in their lifespan or are not talented enough, and can only rely on elixirs and magic medicines to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
These weak infants have low combat power and are at the bottom among Nascent Soul cultivators. They often need three or four people to work together to fight against monsters of the same level.
There are even some powerful Jindan cultivators who can defeat weak infants.
The fourth to sixth grade Nascent Souls are considered normal cultivators who advance to the Nascent Soul stage and are called ordinary Nascent Souls.
This kind of cultivator is rarely attacked by Jindan cultivators, and one person can fight against a monster of the same level.
Starting from the seventh-grade Nascent Soul, one enters the ranks of powerful infants.
A cultivator who has condensed a seventh-grade Nascent Soul can easily crush weaker Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level.
As for the ninth-grade Nascent Soul, it can almost be called invincible at the same level.
There is a clear distinction in strength between the three types of cultivators: strong infant, ordinary infant, and weak infant.
It is generally impossible for low-level cultivators to fight across levels unless they have extremely powerful spells or magical weapons.
…
Lu Qingshan closed his eyes. The purple-gold light in his Dantian became stronger and stronger. The outline of the face formed by the chaotic cyclone became clearer and clearer. In the end...
It actually condensed into a translucent little man.
The appearance of the little man is exactly the same as Lu Qingshan, but he is many times smaller.
The entire body is nine inches nine in size and translucent, but there is a strong and intimidating aura emanating from it.
The dragon bird and peach blossoms are held in the villain's hands.
Just like a boy holding a sword.
This is Lu Qingshan’s Nascent Soul.
Apparently because it had just been born, the Nascent Soul’s eyes were tightly closed and its expression was a little dazed.
But after a few breaths, the Nascent Soul woke up.
The translucent little man suddenly opened his eyes, and an extremely sharp light shot out from them.
A tremendous force suddenly burst out from the Nascent Soul, and the cultivation of the early Nascent Soul instantly filled Lu Qingshan's whole body and burst out.
The light outside his body at this moment also surged unprecedentedly. The light was bright and dazzling, like the sun, a thousand-foot-long light suddenly bursting out.
An unprecedented feeling of strength arose in Lu Qingshan's heart.
His aura at this moment was so strong that it was far superior to that of a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, and even stronger than that of a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
But that’s not all.
A divine mist composed of pure and powerful spiritual energy gathered towards a point on the heart of Lu Qingshan's Nascent Soul.
The huge amount of divine energy continued to pour into this point, until it was completely exhausted, and this acupoint was finally saturated.
Then, a bright light appeared at this point.
This acupoint seemed to be deified at this moment, emitting a divine light, like a bright lamp in the darkness.
This is the sword skill generated by the Jie Tian Sword Sutra, which can quickly nourish the natal sword.
Lu Qingshan's mind moved, and the two natal swords held in his Nascent Soul's hands suddenly flashed.
The fiery red dragon bird swam into the sword's orifice, while the peach blossom entered the Nascent Soul.
In an instant, the spiritual light in the sword's orifice kept flickering, like a blessed land, with strands of light shining through, and wisps of spiritual power continuously hanging down and sinking into the Dragon Sparrow Sword.
Of course, a small amount of spiritual power also overflowed, flowed around the Nascent Soul, and finally sank into the peach blossoms.
Lu Qingshan felt it slightly.
If he doesn't spend any energy or time, the Dragon Bird in the sword cavity can increase his experience points by about 90,000 points a year.
That is to say, even if he did nothing, Longque would be able to be promoted to the next level after eleven years.
However, because Peach Blossom is not within the sword's orifice, the experience points it can gain are much less than those of Dragon Bird, only one third of those of Dragon Bird.
It is equivalent to the difference between the main palace and the concubine.
The sword hole is the main palace.
Several lines of small fiery characters flashed out in time and kept jumping in front of Lu Qingshan's eyes.
"You have already mastered the [Heaven-Severing Sword Sutra] (Nascent Soul Chapter)!"
"Your rank has been raised to Nascent Soul!"
"You gain the [Peerless Nascent Soul] rank bonus: The golden elixir transforms yin and yang and returns to the Great Primordial, and the Great Dao is achieved. Your combat power is increased by nine, and your spiritual awareness is improved by +200. At the same time, for every small rank you advance in the Nascent Soul stage, your spiritual awareness is increased by +100."
"Your talent [Pure Yang Body] has been upgraded and transformed into [Transcendent Body]!"
[Transcendence of the Ordinary Body]: Enlightenment of the mind and nature, immortality.
Those who have attained the Great Dao of Yuanying can regenerate severed limbs as long as their Yuanying exists. At the same time, their lifespan will be extended (to a thousand years).
"Because you refined the divine object: the origin of Wangchuan, you were recognized by Huangquan's will and obtained the talent [Erosion Spirit]."
[Erosion Soul]: The death energy of the underworld will no longer pose a threat to you and cannot destroy your blood and energy.
At the same time, you will be able to absorb the death energy of Huangquan and transform it into spiritual power.
"You get a new slot for your natal sword! Please note that the attributes of the natal sword added to this slot must not be the same as the attributes of the existing natal sword!"
