I had already ascended to heaven when the spiritual energy began to recover?

Chapter 85 Revisiting the Heavenly River Secret Realm

Zhao Qiming's heart sank.

He preferred to hope that the two incidents were orchestrated by two different people.

If it's the same person, it means their strength is still growing rapidly.

The seriousness of this matter needs to be reassessed.

"Everyone!"

Zhao Qiming sat down again, pulling his chair forward a bit, resting his elbows on the conference table, his fingers interlaced in front of him:

"My conclusion is that this golden-haired person... well, whether he is an individual or an organization, is at least currently quite friendly towards us."

He had plenty of opportunities to kill us in the tomb, but he didn't; he saved us instead.

Zhao Qiming turned to the last page of the oral history transcript in front of him.

"My suggestion is to make him an independent target of investigation, without any existing known connections."

The scope of investigation authority has been raised to include the highest-level files, which are now sealed and protected, and the scope of access will not be expanded further.

If we have the opportunity to meet face-to-face again in the future, I would like to request to lead the team. He saved us in the tomb last time, which at least shows that he recognizes that we have the right to have a dialogue.

Next time we meet, I don't want to point a gun at him again.

The suggestion was quickly accepted by everyone.

……

In the wasteland outside the city, under the old locust tree,

Bai Sheng sat under the tree, meditating.

The annotations in Taoist texts regarding the second stage of entry into the field.

It's clearly written above.

After the initial breakthrough of the three passes

It requires repeatedly immersing the physical body in true essence, allowing every inch of flesh and bone to completely fuse with the true essence.

At the same time, use visualization techniques to refine your consciousness and improve the precision of your perception.

Only after completing these two tasks can the second level be considered truly complete, and only then will one be qualified to attempt the third level!

However, he could also sense that his divine sense was still at the level of second-order perception.

It's still a long way from achieving the needle-like spiritual awareness required by Taoist texts.

The Taoist priest emerged silently from the woods.

He sat down cross-legged less than twenty paces from Bai Sheng.

Protect him.

Bai Sheng ignored him, and simply accelerated the flow of liquid true essence in his dantian.

It circulates along the Ren and Du meridians.

Time passed little by little.

After dawn,

Bai Sheng reopened his eyes, and the faint golden halo on his skin receded into his body.

The integration level has progressed a little further...

However, a qualitative leap is still a long way off.

"Well, there's no need to rush. Let's see what my wisdom is all about first!"

Bai Sheng took out the Soul-Capturing Spell and began to cast it, and a cloud of red mist floated out.

It was naturally Jiang Xuelan, who was still unconscious.

Jiang Xuelan woke up groggily and found herself floating in mid-air.

There seemed to be a refreshing, ethereal quality in the air. She subconsciously took a deep breath.

Then the entire soul body trembled.

This is the aura of spiritual revival, although the concentration is still very low.

But this is undoubtedly a revival of spiritual energy.

She has waited for nearly three thousand years, isn't this the moment she's been waiting for?

She floated away almost instinctively, at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, they had already drifted a mile or so.

She didn't even have time to see her surroundings clearly; only one thought remained in her mind.

Find a suitable body and complete the possession and rebirth!

Three thousand years have passed; she has waited long enough.

"Is this guy really confused?"

Bai Sheng watched her float away expressionlessly, his right hand fingers spread wide.

A golden hand, formed purely of true essence, reached out from afar.

He pulled her back from mid-air.

Jiang Xuelan was pulled and spun around several times in mid-air.

The dark red aura on the surface of the soul body flickered violently a few times.

He barely managed to steady himself.

Only then did she realize who was standing in front of her.

The young man who had interrogated her before and later made a deal with her,

"Senior Jiang, it's been a long time," Bai Sheng greeted her.

Jiang Xuelan's soul trembled slightly, not expecting the young man before her to have such a powerful aura.

Quickly ask him if he has already obtained some kind of opportunity.

Bai Sheng was too lazy to pay him any attention.

He activated the golden true essence within his dantian, causing the golden light spot to spin faster.

Before Jiang Xuelan could react, they pulled her down from mid-air.

He spread his five fingers and pressed them firmly on the space between her brows.

Jiang Xuelan asked shrilly, "What are you going to do!"

Bai Sheng silently implanted the condensed Heavenly Demon Seed deep into her soul.

The seed quickly took root inside her soul.

Jiang Xuelan groaned.

The dark red halo was dimmed somewhat by the golden silk threads wrapping around it.

"What the hell is this thing?!" Jiang Xuelan exclaimed angrily.

"The Seed of the Heavenly Demon,"

He actually came out unexpectedly and acted as a commentator.

"As long as you don't have any other thoughts, it won't take effect; it will take root in your soul and keep watching you."

No matter what your physical body becomes after you are reconstructed, this seed will stay with you.

Jiang Xuelan slowly suppressed the panic within her soul.

He roughly understood what was going on, and immediately bowed his head in a salute.

She knew that there was no point in saying anything now; since the seed had already been planted, further arguing would only seem foolish.

"After his physical body is restored in the future, he will naturally serve the young master."

The Taoist priest, hiding in a corner, watched this scene with a gloating smile.

Okay, now I have someone to keep me company!

Bai Sheng was also eager to get started.

He urged him from afar,

All the silk threads tighten at the same time.

They began to extract the remaining true essence from Jiang Xuelan's soul!

Jiang Xue cried out in pain repeatedly.

A wisp of dark red mist emerged from the depths of her soul.

It burrowed into Bai Sheng's body along the golden threads of the seed.

This is the residual true essence of Jiang Xuelan, who had cultivated diligently for many years as a Qi refiner during the pre-Qin period.

Although only a wisp of a soul remained, the purity of its energy far exceeded that of the grayish-white mist that had been seized from Zhen Huan Dao Ren before!

After all, it was the pre-Qin period, an era brimming with spiritual energy.

Bai Sheng gathered this true essence into his dantian and circulated it once.

They devoured and assimilated all of these dark red energy strands.

Jiang Xuelan's cultivation level is much higher than that of Zhen Huan Dao Ren.

Even if only a remnant soul remains, this wisp of true essence is equivalent to several True Daoists.

However, within the scope of the mid-Foundation Building stage, it is still just a drop in the ocean.

Bai Sheng withdrew his hand and said to the two of them, "From now on, you two can focus on your cultivation here."

Indeed, your experience with the Corpse Dissection Technique is useful to Jiang Xuelan. Jiang Xuelan, you are a Qi Refiner from the pre-Qin period, and your guidance on cultivation will be enough for Zhen Huan for a while.

Let's verify each other's work, supervise each other, and no one should slack off!

The Taoist priest knew that his strength and background were inferior to Jiang Xuelan's.

He was the first to clasp his withered hands in a respectful bow.

"Yes, young master!"

Jiang Xuelan belatedly realized what was happening and quickly responded, "Thank you, young master!"

……

After going home,

Bai Sheng, through his clone that he had been planting in the Tianhe Secret Realm,

The transmitted view

They scanned the entrance to the Heavenly River Secret Realm.

Today is a weekday, and there are only a few tourists; there are only five or six people in line at the ticket window.

I saw an acquaintance.

At the entrance, the security guard who used to flirt with people was smoking.

I was scrolling through my phone, feeling utterly bored.

The clone didn't enter through the main entrance of the scenic area.

We took the same fork in the road as last time and came back to that ancient ginkgo valley.

I remember the security guard casually mentioned three places.

His first exploration only covered the ancient ginkgo valley.

They unearthed an alchemy furnace and a weapon-refining cauldron.

There are two more places I haven't had a chance to visit yet.

The hole behind the stone wall was sealed with cement.

There was also a surveillance camera nearby, and the risk of getting close during the day was too high, so he ruled it out immediately.

The thicket at the end of the old path on the back mountain is too dense; it's impossible to get through without tools.

Moreover, the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy were temporarily set aside by him.

Now that his cultivation has reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, his divine sense is more than twice as strong as before, and the precision of his perception has also greatly improved.

Anomalies that couldn't be identified back then can now be completely reassessed!

He conjured two clones.

Split up!
