When Lu Feng first saw this passage, he was a bit surprised.
Where did my big 'Courting Death' section go?
Without the 'Courting Death' section, can the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" still be called the ultimate internal art of the Tang Sect?
After careful study, Lu Feng found that this passage was somewhat similar to the theory of the 'mutual generation and overcoming of the five elements' from his previous life.
Lu Feng also found some inspiration for the choice of his soul rings from this theory.
Soul beasts, Soul Masters, soul rings, soul bones...
All things in the world were contained within the five elements.
The cycle of life and death, the flow of the five elements.
Lu Feng could use different martial souls, but no matter what the martial soul, its attributes were mostly within the five elements.
Wind was yin wood, lightning was yang wood. Light belonged to fire, rock belonged to earth, and ice was a derivative of water.
And some special attributes, such as yin and yang, were also inseparable from the influence of the mutual generation and overcoming of the five elements.
For his first five soul rings, Lu Feng planned to obtain one attribute for each ring.
This way, not only could it meet the needs of most martial souls, but the soul power in his body would also flow long and endlessly under the circulation of the power of the five elements.
It might even be possible to push the Mysterious Heaven Skill to another level.
Transmigrating to another world, the golden finger was certainly Lu Feng's greatest reliance. But the memories of his past life were also an immeasurable treasure for him.
At first, Lu Feng found it a bit strange why the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" in the original work did not record this content.
Soon, he figured it out.
Since the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" was a Tang Sect internal art, it should at least have some traces of the Tang Sect.
It was like when he copied his deskmate's homework in school in his previous life. The content could be exactly the same as others, but he had to write his own name on it, right?
"Sir, we've arrived at the Spirit Hunting Market," the coachman's voice came from outside the carriage.
Lu Feng jumped off the carriage, and a huge market came into view.
Outside the forest, rows of wooden houses were neatly arranged, with simple man-made paths crisscrossing through them. All kinds of hawking sounds rose and fell.
"Five-person team, hunting a ten-year soul beast, have a token, looking for one boss!"
"Ten-person team, hunting a hundred-year strength-type soul beast, need nine more!"
"Black Pheasant Mercenary Group, we undertake the hunting of all kinds of hundred-year soul beasts. A two-and-a-half-year-old brand, reputation guaranteed!"
"Damn it, a bunch of unscrupulous merchants!" Lu Feng walked out of a shop carrying two water kettles, cursing.
Sigh, if only I had a storage-type soul tool.
Lu Feng didn't linger and walked towards the west side of the market.
After walking along the wall for half an hour, Lu Feng came to an unmanned area.
The thick iron bars were as thick as an adult man's thigh and were over thirty meters high. At this height, even a thousand-year soul beast would not be able to climb over.
"Teleport!"
With a thought, ripples appeared in the space around him, and in the next moment, his figure appeared inside the forest.
Feeling that one-fifth of the soul power in his body had been consumed, Lu Feng shook his head helplessly.
In the original work, Xiao Wu's teleportation was her third soul skill.
With Lu Feng's cultivation as a pre-ring soul master, using it four or five times would exhaust his soul power, and the movement distance was only ten meters.
However, Lu Feng guessed that as his own soul power grew, the soul power consumed by teleportation would decrease, and the movement distance could also increase.
Upon entering the forest, all the hustle and bustle seemed to disappear, and the air became much fresher.
However, beneath this silence, countless dangers were hidden. The number of Soul Masters who lost their lives in the Spirit Hunting Forest each year was not small.
As he walked, Lu Feng saw a solitary bamboo.
The solitary bamboo did not look conspicuous. Its main body was emerald green, its body swaying gently, and the bamboo strips on it moved with the wind.
"Crack!"
The wood-cutting knife in Lu Feng's hand swung down forcefully, directly cutting the solitary bamboo in half at the waist.
[Picked up a white attribute point [Vitality] fragment *1 (1/10)]
Only a third of the solitary bamboo's stem was left on the ground, and no soul ring was produced.
The weak point of plant-type soul beasts was generally at the root. A 'minor injury' like being cut at the waist would only take two or three days for the solitary bamboo to recover from.
As Lu Feng went deeper, he encountered more and more soul beasts, and their strength also grew.
The soul beast Lu Feng chose for his first soul ring was called the Green Wood Python, a non-venomous python-type soul beast.
The Green Wood Python was a very rare wood-attribute animal soul beast. Although it had lost its venom, its vitality was extremely tenacious.
It was said that a Soul Master once cut a Green Wood Python into two segments. Unexpectedly, the snake's head and tail fled separately, and eventually, they completely split into two soul beasts.
Soon, Lu Feng came to a pool of water.
The clear little lake made the air a bit humid, and the shadows of towering trees were reflected on the surface of the lake.
He opened the map given to him by Su Yuntao, on which seven or eight circles were marked with a red pen.
These were all smokescreens that Lu Feng had released to maintain secrecy.
The source of a Soul Master's soul ring was not considered private. But before making a big decision, Lu Feng would always think carefully and liked to keep a card up his sleeve.
"This is the place. I heard from Brother Tao that during the last Spirit Hall patrol, a four to five-hundred-year-old green giant snake was found in the pool."
"It lives by the water, sleeps at the bottom during the day, and comes out to forage at night. Unlike other snakes, it doesn't rely on basking in the sun to maintain its body temperature. Such an alternative snake-type soul beast must be the Green Wood Python!"
The Spirit Hall's law enforcement team had two main tasks:
First, to maintain order in the Spirit Hunting Forest, check the tokens of the hunting teams, and prevent Soul Masters from poaching soul beasts;
Second, to record the distribution of soul beasts in the forest. Once a thousand-year soul beast or a powerful soul beast colony was found, it would be reported to the main hall.
Both the Spirit Hunting Token and the map in his hand were benefits that Lu Feng enjoyed after agreeing to join the Spirit Hall.
Lu Feng put away the map, took out a small basin and several colorful little bottles from his bag, and then mixed the liquids from the bottles in order.
"Blood of a Wind Feather Swallow."
"Bile of a Green Light Snake."
"Medicinal juice boiled from Purple Pearl Grass."
"And finally, this spiritual liquid brewed inside the hundred-year Black Jade Bamboo."
Lu Feng felt a twinge of pain as he poured the last bottle of spiritual liquid into the basin.
The Black Jade Bamboo spiritual liquid was a medicinal ingredient that assisted in cultivation and was very precious. This small bottle of spiritual liquid had cost him a full ten Gold Soul Coins, which was almost a tenth of Lu Feng's assets.
As the spiritual liquid was mixed in, the liquid in the basin gradually solidified. Before long, a layer of golden-yellow colloid appeared at the bottom of the basin.
Lu Feng poked it with his finger. It was soft and a bit springy, looking like the jelly from his previous life.
Lu Feng threw the small basin directly into the pool, then hid behind a large rock to the side.
Baiting is complete! Now to wait for the fish to bite.
About fifteen minutes later, a 'rumbling' sound came from the bottom of the lake.
"Splash!"
A sound of splashing water was heard.
Lu Feng turned his head and saw a huge snake head emerging from the water's surface.
