Two realms! I have a Soul Refining Banner

Chapter 7 Breakthrough! Qi Condensation Realm Level 2

The next morning, Chen Jie woke up in the office building of Roufeng Slaughterhouse.

The first thing he did was go to the slaughter line and retrieve the main flag of the Soul Retrieval Array.

The Soul-Gathering Array was set up in an extremely well-hidden manner, with each array flag hidden in a place that ordinary people could not see.

Although in the Canglan World, his skill in setting up such a basic soul-collecting array was barely passable.

However, in the urban world of Blue Star, his mastery of formations is unparalleled.

Back in his temporary room in the office building, Chen Jie took out the Soul Refining Banner and slowly released the main soul within it.

"Devour and advance! I'll feed you to your heart's content today!"

Waaah—!

A chilling gust of wind suddenly swept through the room.

A phantom flew out from the Soul Refining Banner, bobbing excitedly up and down.

The souls of the dead pigs stored in the Soul-Gathering Flag seemed to sense a deadly crisis after entering the Soul-Refining Banner.

Although they lacked intelligence, they were frightened by the aura emanating from the main soul and ran around in all directions.

The main soul was already starving and couldn't wait any longer when it saw the deceased soul.

puff!

The main soul opened its mouth wide and swallowed the soul of a live pig whole.

Its speed of devouring and refining far exceeded Chen Jie's expectations.

In less than ten seconds, the pig's spirit completely dissipated, turning into nourishment for the main soul.

Then it pounced on another dead pig.

Several slightly stronger pig spirits, imbued with malevolent energy, finally banded together to resist after being chased by the main spirit.

Although they lack the ability to launch an attack, they can gather together and barely resist the main soul's devouring.

But the final result was no surprise.

Although this main soul was an ordinary wandering soul that came with the purchase of the Soul-Gathering Array Flag by Chen Jie, and was not even worth a glance from other cultivators in the Canglan World, Chen Jie regarded it as a treasure.

He not only carefully nurtured it as the main soul of the Soul Refining Banner, but also nourished it with his own essence and blood.

Even though it was weak in the Canglan World, it was still far beyond the capabilities of these ordinary pig spirits.

Those dead pigs that contained a trace of malevolent energy were the main soul's favorite food.

Perhaps because it was imprinted with Chen Jie's divine consciousness, its main soul had gradually developed a trace of intelligence. It knew that it was too weak and could only become stronger by devouring more dead souls.

of course,

Devouring and becoming stronger is the main soul's instinct, and Chen Jie does not need to deliberately guide it with his divine sense.

now,

Watching the endless stream of souls emerging from the Soul Refining Banner, the main soul feasted like a tiger among sheep.

It has never eaten so heartily since it was born.

After ten minutes,

The souls of nearly one hundred dead pigs were devoured and refined by the main soul.

Chen Jie could clearly see that the main soul's form had become much more solid, and the baleful aura contained within its body had become increasingly intense.

"Is it time to advance?" Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.

His divine sense imprint is on the main soul of the Soul Refining Banner, and he can clearly perceive the current state of the main soul.

After devouring the souls of hundreds of dead pigs, it has shown signs of advancing and transforming.

Half an hour later, the main soul had devoured a total of three hundred pig souls.

These were all fresh souls that had just been slaughtered last night and collected by the Soul-Gathering Array. At this moment, they were all continuously being transformed into nourishment for the main soul.

Perhaps due to consuming too much at once, the main soul's movement speed gradually slowed down, and its body also swelled up.

Finally, it stopped devouring and quietly settled in the corner of the Soul Refining Banner, like a well-fed pig taking a nap in its pen.

Its form became increasingly solid, and its surface was enveloped in a hazy luster.

"It's indeed starting to advance! It seems that letting the main soul devour the soul of a dead pig is a shortcut!"

Chen Jie breathed a long sigh of relief.

In general,

The Soul Refining Banner's master soul's realm can be at most three minor realms higher than a cultivator's.

In other words, Chen Jie is currently only at the first level of the Qi Condensation Realm, and his main soul can only advance to the fourth level at most, which is equivalent to the fourth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

The divine sense imprint on the main soul restricts it to be under the control of the cultivator; otherwise, once the main soul's realm exceeds three minor realms of the cultivator, the cultivator will completely lose control.

This is also the core reason why cultivators at the Qi Condensation Realm cannot use the mid-level magic artifact "Hundred Soul Banner".

The main soul of the Hundred Soul Banner must reach the Foundation Establishment Realm level.

The higher the level of the Soul Refining Banner, the higher the level requirement for the main soul.

In the Canglan world, the Soul Refining Banner's main soul usually needs to be in the Yin Sha Land to advance its level.

For example, in ancient battlefields, the souls of the dead are constantly refined, purified, and sealed in banners for the main soul to devour.

Even more ruthless demonic cultivators will directly and forcibly extract a person's life soul, arousing their resentment, either making the life soul the new main soul, or making the main soul and the life soul devour each other to achieve advancement.

to be frank,

Although the living souls of the Canglan world are fierce, their numbers are extremely small.

This is why some powerful demonic cultivators, in order to make the Soul Refining Banner stronger, would not hesitate to massacre entire cities and forcibly extract the souls of the living.

All of this must be based on sufficient strength.

However, the large-scale farming in urban areas, coupled with centralized processing in slaughterhouses, ensures a continuous stream of deaths for pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, fish, and other living beings.

In fact, the soul of any living being has a limited lifespan.

The souls of beings without intelligence can only linger for half a day; once the sun rises, they will dissipate into the world.

Only by collecting them with the Soul-Gathering Array and sealing them with the Soul-Refining Banner can they be preserved.

The souls of intelligent beings that have passed away can usually remain for seven days, which is the origin of the folk sayings "seven-day return of the soul" and "the first seven days".

Once the deadline has passed, the spirits of the dead will completely dissipate.

It wasn't until noon that the main soul of the Soul Refining Banner became active again.

Its size has increased considerably, its form has become more solid, and a ring pattern has appeared on its body.

First-tier main soul!

He finally succeeded in advancing to the next level, and his strength is now equivalent to the first level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

At this moment, the malevolent aura emanating from it was several times stronger than before.

"Now, this can truly be called the Soul Refining Banner."

"By devouring the souls of three hundred dead pigs, the main soul has advanced to the first tier. To advance to the second tier, I wonder how many more dead pig souls I will need to devour."

Chen Jie muttered to himself, lost in thought.

"I'm out of spirit stones now, I need to earn more as soon as possible."

"By the way, the slaughterhouse has so much pig blood, we can't waste it."

Chen Jie suddenly thought of the most popular elixir in Fu'an Market of the White Bone Sect.

Blood Fiend Pill!

This kind of elixir is simple to make, but the difficulty lies in the fact that the raw materials are not easy to obtain, and its core raw material is essence blood.

Nowadays, slaughterhouses have a continuous supply of pig blood. Although the content of essence blood in pig blood is extremely low, the quantity is so large that it is enough to refine Blood Fiend Pills.

boom--!

Just as Chen Jie was deep in thought, the main soul, which had just completed its advancement, was full of energy and quickly pounced on the remaining souls in the Soul Refining Banner.

Compared to before its advancement, its strength has increased several times.

In less than ten minutes, it devoured the remaining two hundred dead pigs.

Having just completed its advancement, it is currently starving and naturally needs a large number of dead souls to replenish its energy.

Chen Jie closed his eyes slightly and began to circulate the "White Bone Heart Sutra".

After the main soul devoured the remaining souls, it fell silent again, forming a strong resonance with Chen Jie's consciousness.

Feedback from the Soul Refining Banner!

Chen Jie felt his internal energy surging. As the White Bone Heart Sutra was circulated, a stream of pure energy condensed in his dantian.

Then,

A warm sensation emanated from my meridians, and the energy flowed slowly through my entire body's meridians, breaking through the bottleneck without any obstruction.

breakthrough!

Qi Condensation Realm, Level Two!

This breakthrough came naturally and without any obstacles.

His cultivation had been stuck at the first level of the Qi Condensation Realm for a long time, and he was already on the verge of breaking through.

Having just received the feedback from the Soul Refining Banner, I easily broke through to the second level of the Qi Condensation Realm.
