Chapter 285 - Nine Souls Ring!
Chapter 285 Nine Souls Ring!
The First Elder admitted defeat.
On the other hand, Si Wujiu was terrified.
Martial Sage!
This was the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation!
To think that he had other thoughts previously. Now, he was almost scared out of his wits and didn’t dare to have any more ideas.
Coveting something that belongs to a Martial Sage? That was not the way to court death even if one wanted to die…
“Pu!”
Si Wujiu groaned as a wave of pain washed over him. He gritted his teeth and endured it, not daring to make a sound.
One of his arms suddenly left his body and flew into the air.
“There won’t be a next time,” said Su Jingxing coolly. He put away the three circular rings and turned to leave.
As soon as the Essence Soul entered his body, the terrifying pressure disappeared.
Si Wujiu and the Li Family’s First Elder did not get up immediately. Instead, they continued to lie on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
After more than ten minutes, they carefully raised their heads and looked around. After making sure that Su Jingxing had really left, the two of them laid down on their backs and looked at the sky, panting heavily.
Si Wujiu, who had escaped death, saw his lost arm not far away, but he had no intention of picking it up.
He only lost an arm, which was considered lucky.
Even if he was really killed this time, he deserved it.
But then again, who would have known that the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation was also collecting the Nine Souls Ring?
“He already has five, together with our three, that makes eight.
“If he finds the last one, he’ll have nine. All nine rings of the Nine Souls Ring gathered!”
The First Elder calmed himself down and sighed.
“…I believe that the Martial Sage can definitely gather all nine.” Si Wujiu flattered, afraid that Su Jingxing was still around and monitoring their every move.
It was rumored that Martial Sages had the magical ability to monitor the world.
Even from a thousand miles away, they could still see and hear!
But in reality, Si Wujiu was thinking too much.
Su Jingxing wasn’t that free to continue staring at him. Breaking one of his arms to teach him a lesson was enough.
After obtaining three more circular rings, Su Jingxing was overjoyed and rushed to the Green Cloud Mountain Range without stopping to look for the big white goose and ask for its help. Under the sparkling glow, Su Jingxing skillfully embedded the three rings he had obtained into the three holes and completed the fusion of eight rings.
When he opened his eyes, he, who now possessed eight soul rings, learned three more abilities.
Firstly, the soul ring could be released for a thousand miles to kill enemies invisibly.
Secondly, the flames ignited by the soul ring could injure the Essence Soul.
Thirdly, with a soul ring, one could block out heavenly secret arts!
Indeed, with every additional ring, his strength would increase.
Especially blocking out the heavenly secret arts, it had resolved Su Jingxing’s future troubles.
Although there weren’t many people who cultivated heavenly secret arts, every one of them was very powerful.
When Su Jingxing divined others, others could also divine him.
Locking on and determining his location and whatnot were fine. But if things relating to karma and giving insights to his roots were to be divined, it would be extremely troublesome.
Now that he had the eight rings, Su Jingxing no longer had to worry about others divining any information about him.
The Eight Souls Ring could block the prying of heavenly secret arts. Of course, such resistance was not absolute. It could only be said that most spying could be blocked.
After all, the Eight Souls Ring was not the only extraordinary treasure with such function.
With rare treasures that could block out heavenly secret arts, there were naturally also treasures that could speed up, deepen, and facilitate divination.
With the Eight Souls Ring in hand, he was only one ring away from the complete Nine Souls Ring
However, there was no trace of this last circular ring.
No one knew where Shen Qian’s younger brother had hid it.
Su Jingxing had been to Shen Qian’s old house, but he didn’t find anything.
His mastery of the Six Comets Records was only at the introductory stage. It was impossible to find this last ring without a medium.
Only when the Six Comets Record was cultivated to the depths could the divination be completed without the assistance of a medium.
Therefore, Su Jingxing temporarily let go of this last ring.
In the cultivation of heavenly secret arts, the consumption of soul power was secondary. The requirement for talent was very high.
Without Martial Arts Practice Cards, cultivating the Sword Eyes and Full Moon Breathing Technique was more cost-effective.
And because the ability to extract cards was bound to the soul,
Su Jingxing, who had no use for the Blood Doppelganger for the time being, moved this doppelganger to hide near the crematorium in the southern suburbs of Changyang Prefecture City.
In the Changyang Prefecture City, there were a total of three crematoriums. The one in the southern suburbs was the biggest.
The Blood Doppelganger shrunk up into a ball and hid outside the crematorium, extracting Function Cards day and night.
Su Jingxing’s main body in Qinghe City only needed to unlock the cards.
It was unknown if he was extremely lucky because this was his first time going to the prefecture city or because there were more people being controlled there,
but on the second day of the Blood Doppelganger’s stay at the crematorium in the southern suburbs, it had extracted three Martial Arts Practice Cards!
With nine years, five years, and six years of practice time respectively.
Altogether, 20 years of practice time was perfect for cultivating the Sword Eyes and the Six Comets Records.
Sword Eyes was raised to the Advanced level, and the Six Comets Record had also been advanced to the point where he divine without a medium.
As for the other cards, Internal Force Cards, Essence Energy Cards, Life Skill Cards, Strength Enhancement Cards, Equipment Cards… there were a lot of them.
He even extracted two Requiem Cards and kept them as backup.
The Six Comets Records could now divine without a medium. Su Jingxing immediately operated it to deduce the whereabouts of the last ring.
In the end, he found it on a young woman in Qinghe City who was less than 20 years old.
Su Jingxing didn’t know where she got it from, but he didn’t ask. He just knocked her out, took the circular ring, and left a sum of money.
From then on, all nine rings were gathered!
After obtaining the last ring, Su Jingxing decisively rushed to the Green Cloud Mountain Range. With the help of the big white goose, he filled in the last hole.
Buzz!
With the nine rings combined, the true Nine Souls Ring was born.
This extraordinary treasure with no shape, no shadow and no movements disappeared the moment it fused.
If Su Jingxing hadn’t used his soul power to fuse the rings, he wouldn’t have discovered it at all.
Even so, Su Jingxing only realized that the Nine Souls Ring was still with him after carefully sensing it for a while through the Essence Soul.
The complete Nine Souls Ring was its own entity, and it carried a terrifying power that scorched the soul.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul didn’t even dare to approach.
He needed to refine it!
The Five Souls Ring and Eight Souls Ring could be controlled directly.
Yet the complete Nine Soul Ring actually required refinement to control.
On second thought, it made sense.
The complete Nine Souls Ring was a mature treasure that had its own sentience.
If Su Jingxing wanted to control it, he would have to refine it first.
Once successfully refined, he could leave his own imprint on it. Even if the Nine Souls Ring was lost or snatched away, there was no need to worry.
Therefore, for the next few days, Su Jingxing’s main body did not go anywhere. Instead, he stayed in the valley and slowly contacted the Nine Souls Ring with his soul power. He influenced it, enveloped it up, and refined it!
Su Jingxing didn’t know how long this process would take, so he could only take it one step at a time.
The Blood Doppelganger remained at the crematorium in the southern suburbs of the prefecture city, extracting cards day and night.
It stayed for more than half a month.
On this day, the Blood Doppelganger was on the periphery of the crematorium and overheard a conversation between three people.
“Have you heard? There are really strong winds in the Luori Prefecture right now.”
“Isn’t it normal for there to be wind?”
“Would I specially tell you about normal winds? The winds in the Luori Prefecture are very strange!”
