"Nonsense. This is Chang 'an City. Which monster would dare to cause trouble here?" The boatman glared at the burly fisherman and snorted.
"Then what is going on?" The burly fisherman calmed down a little and asked again.
"From the looks of it, there should be an Immortal Master casting spells in the water." The boatman took a deep puff of smoke and said slowly.
"Immortal Master! Is he still there? Let's go and pay him a visit. Maybe we can ask for some elixirs that can prolong our lives … "The burly fisherman's eyes lit up and he looked around the boat.
The other fishermen did the same.
Although there were many cultivators in Chang 'an City, only some of the upper class could come in contact with them. They were all poor people and they still had a great yearning for immortal cultivators.
"Stop fooling around. Set sail!" The boatman glared at the burly fisherman sternly and ordered them to set sail.
The burly fisherman kept quiet out of fear and shut his mouth.
The others did not dare to say anything. They slowly set sail and sailed forward for a few miles before the boatman ordered them to stop.
"Boss, why don't you let me call for that Immortal Master?" The burly fisherman said with some dissatisfaction.
The others were also confused.
"Do you people think that Immortal Master is a kind and charitable person?" The boatman snorted coldly and said.
"Is that not the case?" The burly fisherman said.
"You guys know too little about Immortal Masters. As far as I know, Immortal Masters are divided into righteous and evil Immortal Masters. The righteous Immortal Masters are indeed good to us commoners, but the evil Immortal Masters kill without batting an eye. They are even more terrifying than bandits and demons. I don't know if the Immortal Master in the water is good or evil. If you people go near him, you won't even know how you died. "The boatman snorted coldly and said.
When the fishermen heard this, they were shocked and at the same time, it was an eye-opener.
…
A figure was sitting cross-legged more than ten feet under the whirlpool area. It was Shen Luo.
He clasped his hands in front of his chest and formed a hand seal. A faint crystal light flickered between his eyebrows. His whole body was surrounded by blue light, forming a light ball with a radius of several feet. Countless blue wave shadows were pulsating in it.
The surrounding river water was blocked out, and his clothes were clean and tidy, without a single water stain.
"Sure enough, it doesn't work …" Shen Luo sighed. He let go of his hands, and the crystal light between his eyebrows quickly faded away.
After half a year of hard work, he had used the power of the Yuan True Water to raise his cultivation to the peak of the Fasting Stage. The process was quite smooth.
He had already consumed the eight Channel Opening Spiritual Pills and the Fa Li in his body had increased by almost half.
Relying on the experience of breaking through to the Soul Condensation Stage in his dream, as well as his increased mana, Shen Luo tried to break through. Unfortunately, it still ended in failure.
The principle of advancing to the Soul Condensation Stage is actually very simple. Circulate all of your spiritual power, essence, and blood energy, and pour them into a mysterious gate in the depths of your mind.
The Heavenly Gate was not an acupoint, but a mysterious place. It was the connection between the human body and the soul. Only those who had reached the peak of the Fasting Realm could sense it.
As long as the acupoint was opened, one could use spiritual power, essence, and blood energy to develop the brain and strengthen the soul in the brain. From there, one could completely condense a human soul and advance to the Soul Condensation Stage.
Although advancing to the Soul Condensation Stage was only opening one acupoint, the difficulty of this had stumped many people.
The Vital Essence acupoint was located in the depths of the human brain. When opening it, one had to be extremely careful. If one was not careful, one's brain would be damaged, and one would become an idiot.
And with this step, not only would one be able to condense a soul, it would also greatly strengthen the connection between the Immortal Cultivator and the Heaven and Earth. It would allow the Immortal Cultivator to be reborn and increase his lifespan.
In the dream, Shen Luo's aptitude was top-notch. In his body, he had opened twenty meridians, and his mana was extremely strong. Without much difficulty, he successfully opened the Vital Essence acupoint and condensed a soul.
But in reality, when he was trying to break through to the Soul Condensation Stage, the situation was very different.
He only had three meridians in his body. Even though he had taken the Channel Opening Pill to open up his meridians, his mana was still too weak. Even with the help of the experience in the dream, it was still not enough.
"It seems that I still have to rely on some external help." Shen Luo secretly said in his heart.
He was not discouraged. This time, when he tried to break through to the Soul Condensation Stage, he did not have much hope. He just wanted to try his luck.
If it didn't work, he planned to use the second plan.
In the Pure Yang Sword Manual, there was a secret technique that used ghosts to nourish one's soul. It could assist in breaking through to the Soul Condensation Stage.
The key to breaking through to the Soul Condensation Stage was to nourish one's soul. Ghosts were soul bodies, similar to the power of the soul. This secret technique used ghost qi to stimulate the Gate of Heaven in the brain and accelerate the cultivation of the power of the soul.
However, to use this secret technique, one needed to catch a ghost. The higher the ghost's cultivation, the higher the success rate.
"When I was in the Spring and Autumn Temple, my master went to White River Town's Ma Family to exorcise a ghost. He seemed to have caught a fierce ghost and kept it. Could it be that he was preparing to break through to the Soul Condensation Stage in the future?" Shen Luo suddenly remembered a long time ago.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the time when he was in the Spring and Autumn Temple. Master Luo Daoren, Tian Tiesheng, Bai Xiaotian …
Unfortunately, except for Bai Xiaotian, he did not know whether the others were alive or dead. Wanting to meet them again was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Shen Luo quickly collected his thoughts. No longer feeling sad, he got up and used the Water Driving Technique to sneak back to the small courtyard through the water.
After he came out of the well, he began to think about where to catch the ghost.
Although Shen Luo stayed in Chang 'an City for a period of time, he was still in the dark about where there were powerful ghosts. And the only cultivators he knew in Chang' an City were Ma Xiuxiu, Lu Huaming, and Xie Yuxin.
He was not willing to contact Ma Xiuxiu for the time being. Regardless of whether Xie Yuxin had returned or not, this woman's cultivation was low after all. Her circle of rogue cultivators was also average. The possibility of her knowing the traces of powerful ghosts was not high.
So, the best person to ask was only Lu Huaming.
After Shen Luo pondered for a while, he rubbed his face with his hands. His body emitted the sound of his joints moving. Then, he came to the side of the well. Looking at his reflection in the water, he nodded with satisfaction.
He had turned into a long-faced young man with a dull look. No matter his appearance or temperament, he was completely different from before. Even his closest relatives would not be able to recognize him.
Over the past six months, besides cultivating, he would occasionally study the Body-Refining Mystic Scripture. His understanding of the body had become deeper and deeper. The Body-Refining Mystic Scripture also had a secret technique that could change the structure of the body. It was quite similar to the Body-Refining Mystic Scripture.
Now, his Bone Shaping Disguise Technique was more exquisite, and the duration was greatly increased. It was not like before, when he could only maintain it for a moment.
Shen Luo carefully checked his body again to make sure that he would not be recognized because of other details. Then, he got up and left the small courtyard.
