The cultivation method that Lu Xuan was using changed once again. In an instant, he had switched to the Soul Forging Method of the Taiyi Origin Skill.
This Soul Remembrance Crystal was also very mysterious. The way to use it was even more peculiar. One could not touch it directly with one's body, or else it would dissolve immediately. One could only place it between one's eyebrows with Yuan Power and absorb it with Soul Power. Only then could it be transformed into one's own Soul Power.
The power of Taiyi seeped out of his body and gently shackled the Soul Remembrance Crystal in the small box. He then firmly stuck it between his eyebrows. A cool touch was felt, which made him feel refreshed and refreshed, and his fatigue was gone.
Then, the Soul Remembrance Crystal gradually melted, as if it had turned into a ball of liquid. There were circles of ripples on it, and as the ripples spread, the Soul Remembrance Crystal gradually disappeared. Then, it completely seeped into the space between Lu Xuan's eyebrows.
Through his inner vision, Lu Xuan saw that there seemed to be a ball of crystal clear light blue water droplet between his eyebrows. There was a faint feeling of swelling, but it did not affect him much. He knew that this ball of light blue water droplet should be the Soul Power contained within the Soul Remembrance Crystal. What he needed to do now was to completely absorb this ball of power and transform it into his own Soul Power.
Immediately, Lu Xuan eliminated the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to use the Soul Forging Method to absorb the Soul Power within the Soul Remembrance Crystal. Traces of light blue lines were continuously drawn out, strengthening his Soul Power.
The Soul Remembrance Crystal truly lived up to its reputation as a ninth-grade Earth Level treasure that was second only to Heaven-level treasures. The power of the soul contained within it was extremely pure, and it was thousands of times better than the Soul Nourishing Elixir that Lu Xuan had used before. Not only did it contain no impurities, but the power of the soul was also incredibly dense. Furthermore, the continuous replenishment of the power of the soul made Lu Xuan feel extremely comfortable. He almost wanted to moan out loud. He could not help but sigh. Compared to the pain he had to go through to train his body, training in the Soul Refinement Lineage was practically an enjoyment. It was no wonder that so many warriors would only choose to train their bodies if they had no talent for either.
Lu Xuan was leisurely raising his Soul Power and had completely forgotten about passing the test to enter the inner palace. However, this did not affect Lu Xuan in the slightest. Instead, the warriors participating in the test were somewhat helpless. This was because after they had passed the test, they were informed that there were still warriors in the formation test. Only after all the warriors in the formation had passed or failed would they be allowed to enter the inner palace.
The reason why the ancient expert had arranged this was to prevent the treasures in the inner palace from being snatched by one or a few people first. Thus, the latecomers would not have a chance. To a certain extent, it was still to maintain fairness.
Lu Xuan, who had dragged down everyone's progress by himself, did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. As he continued to absorb the Soul Remembrance Crystal, more than half of the Soul Remembrance Crystal had already been absorbed by him. His Soul Power had clearly increased by a large margin.
Currently, he felt that his Soul Power was already nearing the level of a 5 Star Soul Symbol Master. After absorbing this Soul Remembrance Crystal, he would at least be able to successfully become a 5 Star Soul Symbol Master. Lu Xuan could not help but think that it was a pity that there was only one Soul Remembrance Crystal. Otherwise, he might have been able to directly become a 6 Star Soul Symbol Master in one go.
He did not consider that Chen Xiaohan had the help of the ancient Soul Symbol Technique. She had only focused on cultivating the Forging Soul Technique. Currently, she was only a 5 Star Soul Symbol Master. He had cultivated all three techniques and had already caught up to Chen Xiaohan's strength. This speed was truly astonishing.
The blue droplet between his eyebrows became smaller and smaller. Finally, it was completely absorbed by Lu Xuan. As expected, his Soul Power had already completely risen to the level of a 5 Star Soul Symbol Master. Before becoming a Divine Symbol Master, there would not be too much of a qualitative change in Soul Power. It was only a process of accumulation.
"I can consider inscribing a 5 Star Soul Symbol Seal after my soul." Lu Xuan secretly thought. The attack power of some powerful 5 Star Soul Symbols was comparable to a late Spirit Refinement Realm martial artist's attack. If it was used at a critical moment, it would definitely have an unexpected effect. He still remembered the few Myriad Sword Talismans that he had obtained from Chen Mo. During the period when he left the Wind Sword School, he had achieved very good results.
However, now was not the time to study this. A 5 Star Soul Symbol was definitely not something that could be mastered in a short period of time. The most important thing now was to first inscribe the 2 Star Yi Wood Divine Rune. If he could successfully inscribe it, then Lu Xuan would be a true 2 Star Body Refinement Realm martial artist.
The abundant Soul Power gave Lu Xuan incomparable confidence. If he were to inscribe 3 or 4 Star Soul Symbols now, he would definitely be able to maintain a success rate of more than 95%. Even if the difficulty of a 2 Star Yi Wood Divine Rune was as high as 5 stars, or even close to 6 stars, he still had the confidence to give it a try.
After adjusting his state, Lu Xuan once again held the Wood Essence in his hand and began to absorb the Wood Essence. The green luster on the Wood Essence began to fade a little. Obviously, it was because of the loss of the Wood Essence, but it still seemed to be very abundant. At least, it was enough to provide Lu Xuan a chance to inscribe it.
Roughly half an hour passed, and the Wood Essence within his body was already extremely abundant. In order to prevent the Wood Essence from running out, Lu Xuan absorbed a little more. There was still a portion of the Wood Essence left behind by the Treant, but right now, Lu Xuan didn't have the time to care about it. He began to inscribe the 2 Star Divine Rune!
The most difficult aspect of a 2 Star Divine Rune was that it needed to be inscribed on the foundation of a 1 Star Divine Rune. Every single rune had to be inscribed in extreme detail, or else it would cause the entire Divine Rune to collapse. If it was light, the inscription would fail. If it was heavy, it might even affect the original Divine Rune. There were some Body Refiners who failed to inscribe their Divine Runes, resulting in a drop in their cultivation level.
Fully concentrating, a strand of Wood Essence was drawn out by Lu Xuan. His Soul Force fluctuated unceasingly, and a rune instantly took shape. This was a Linking Rune, capable of linking a 2 Star Divine Rune with a 1 Star Divine Rune. It was an essential rune in order to raise the level of a rune. With regards to this, Lu Xuan had long since memorized it by heart. Naturally, it was easy for him to inscribe it.
In this small hut left behind by an ancient powerhouse, Lu Xuan sat upright on a praying mat, concentrating on inscribing the Divine Runes one after another. However, just as Lu Xuan was halfway through inscribing, he suddenly made a mistake. A few runes didn't connect successfully, and Lu Xuan's countenance abruptly changed!
In the next instant, the half of the Divine Rune that he had inscribed with so much difficulty vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye. The faint green Wood Essence instantly dissipated, and the Yi Wood Divine Rune within his body reverted back to its original state of a 1 Star Divine Rune. The first attempt at inscribing the Divine Rune had ended in failure.
"Damn it! I'm still a little rusty! " Lu Xuan couldn't help but scold himself. After all, he hadn't invested much time in the Dao of Talismans, and the more you put in, the more you reap. It was precisely because of his lack of proficiency that led to this failure. Otherwise, with his current Soul Force, inscribing a 2 Star Divine Rune shouldn't be a problem at all. If it was Chen Xiaohan who was inscribing it, there wouldn't be any problem at all.
Lu Xuan let out a long sigh of relief. He circulated the Taiyi Fusion Technique for a while, clearing away the anger in his heart, and once again faced the problem in front of him.
Although he had failed the first time, he hadn't used up all the Wood Essence in his body. There was still about half of the Wood Essence left in his body, and a portion of the Wood Essence should still be able to be extracted. Perhaps he could try again, but this was definitely his last chance.
"One more try, I will definitely succeed!" Lu Xuan encouraged himself. He wasn't someone who would admit defeat and give up so easily.
After calming his state of mind, Lu Xuan began to absorb the last portion of the Wood Essence. There wasn't much Wood Essence left, and at this moment, the originally crystal clear Wood Essence had already begun to reveal a pale white color. This was because the Wood Essence had almost been completely sucked dry by Lu Xuan.
When the Wood Essence had completely turned into a greyish-white color, Lu Xuan finally managed to barely gather enough Essence Energy for the next inscription. Whether or not he would succeed, it would all depend on this last attempt.
The reason why he failed earlier was naturally because Lu Xuan wasn't able to enter the state of One with the Heavens and Man. No matter which physique refiner it was, they wouldn't dare to guarantee a 100% success rate in inscribing a Divine Rune.
And this time around, Lu Xuan didn't force himself to enter the state of One with the Heavens and Man. This was something that couldn't be forced. Maintaining a calm state of mind, Lu Xuan began the second inscription. However, this time around, he was clearly more focused than the first time. After all, the moment he failed, he wouldn't have any more chances.
For the first half of the Divine Rune, because he had already experienced it once, the condensation process was extremely smooth. Lu Xuan's powerful soul force was the guarantee of success.
For the last half of the Divine Rune, Lu Xuan had already focused 200% of his soul force. However, the state of One with the Heavens and Man still hadn't appeared. Maybe it was because Lu Xuan still had a trace of anticipation towards the state of One with the Heavens and Man. This was how it was. The more one looked forward to it, the harder it was to appear.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan didn't make any mistakes. Rune after rune landed on the Divine Rune. Because there was still a 1-star Divine Rune at the bottom, the Divine Rune appeared somewhat messy and had no sense of beauty at all. This also increased the difficulty of condensing the Divine Rune by quite a bit. After all, it was even more difficult to judge the position of the Divine Rune.
There were many times when Lu Xuan didn't even need to use his internal vision to look. Instead, he had to use his soul force to sense where the next rune should land.
Time flowed by bit by bit. Unknowingly, Lu Xuan's forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat. This was a sign that his soul force had been overused, and this was extremely disadvantageous to his inscription. However, he still persisted. There were less than ten runes left. As long as he didn't make any mistakes in the last ten runes, he would be able to completely condense the 2-star Second-Wood Divine Rune. As for his soul force, he should still be able to persist.
When there were only five runes left, Lu Xuan suddenly discovered an extremely grim reality. The essence of the wood element was insufficient!
