Volume Three, Chapter 22, Soul Forging Stone
"Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you join us? I can let you serve as the elder."
Pan Chengde warmly invited Ye Daoxin and agreed to entrust him with important tasks.
"Thank you for your kindness to the patriarch Pan. I have to think about it. I must go out for a walk. If I don't go out and try, I won't give up."
Ye Daoxin tactfully declined Pan Chengde's kindness and used the excuse of going out to explore the way, but he did not agree to be the elder of the village at once.
"Hmph, it's great to think that you are a monk? When you go out and deal with the ferocious beasts under the sea, you will have to come back then!"
After hearing what Ye Daoxin said, the middle-aged man next to him with a thin face was very upset and laughed at Ye Daoxin.
"Pan Bao, treat guests unreasonable! Fellow Daoist Lin makes you laugh."
Seeing Pan Bao attacking directly, the Pan Clan Chief scolded loudly, looking like he was smiling.
"It was, he thought he was a monk. When he arrived here, I thought he was not as good as me, a martial arts practitioner. Our village would not raise idle people. Everyone has division of labor. If he didn't work, he could not allocate food and had no cultivation resources."
Pan Bao was impatient and did not care about the patriarch's scolding and retorted loudly.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, don't be accustomed. Pan Bao has this personality and a bad temper. However, he is right. When he came to Pan Jiqu, everyone, whether monks or mortals, must complete the assigned tasks. Some go out to hunt, some work in the village, and if they don't complete the tasks, they won't get food and cultivation resources. Of course, when you just come, we can give you two days of food for free. After two days, you have to decide whether to stay or leave."
This time, Clan Chief Pan did not stop Pan Bao from provoking Ye Daoxin again. He also wanted to see if Ye Daoxin had real skills.
"Thank you for your kindness to keep me in the village. I can understand the patriarch's difficulties. I will consider your opinions carefully and will definitely give you a reply in two days. I am injured now and have no desire to compete. If you have the strength, please keep it outside to hunt."
Ye Daoxin didn't care about Pan Bao's provocation at all. Pan Bao seemed to be more powerful than Pan Hu, but he had practiced several body refining techniques and his body was very strong. Even if he could not use magic power, how could he be afraid of a mortal who practiced martial arts?
"Captain Pan, I also want to ask about something. The village has such strict defense. Do you often face attacks from ferocious beasts under the sea?"
Pan Bao also mentioned just now that he might encounter ferocious beasts under the sea when he goes out. Ye Daoxin couldn't help but raise his own questions.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, it's not easy to survive here! Not only do you have to deal with the attacks of ferocious beasts under the sea, there are other villages nearby, and there are often conflicts between each other. Small-scale battles are very common. Even if you attack in large quantities, wars to wipe out the villages will happen from time to time."
When it comes to fighting, the patriarch Pan was helpless. No wonder he actively invited Ye Daoxin to join the village and entrusted the elders with the important task. It turned out that he was attracted by Ye Daoxin's identity as a monk. In this cruel competition, Pan Jiqu has more strength and more strength to protect himself.
"I still don't understand. Since everyone knows each other and is facing the threat of ferocious beasts under the sea, why don't they join forces to deal with ferocious beasts under the sea, but instead kill each other?"
The living conditions are already so difficult, and Ye Daoxin still has to kill each other, which is a bit difficult for Ye Daoxin to accept.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you don't know anything! In this underwater world, there is no spiritual energy to practice, but you can practice spiritual consciousness. Cultivators with powerful spiritual consciousness are also very advantageous, and their attack power is no less than magic power. However, cultivating spiritual consciousness requires resources. One of them is the inner elixir of the ferocious beast under the sea, which is rich in mental power and can be used to practice spiritual consciousness; the other is the soul-forging stone, which is similar to the inner elixir of the ferocious beast under the sea, and can also be used to practice spiritual consciousness."
Clan Captain Pan was very happy today and told Ye Daoxin that there is a soul-forging stone in the underwater world that can be used to cultivate spiritual consciousness.
"What? Soul Forging Stone, there are Soul Forging Stones here? I have heard of it before, but I have never seen it."
Ye Daoxin was surprised. He had always wanted to practice the "Soul Condensation and Soul Forging True Scroll" to enhance his spiritual consciousness, but he had been stranded because he had no Soul Forging Stone. Now, he actually heard that there is Soul Forging Stone in the Underwater World, which is really great news.
Yes, the underwater world produces soul-forging stones. Soul-forging stones are divided into three types: top-grade, middle-grade and lower-grade, which can assist in the cultivation of spiritual consciousness. However, the people dug around the village are generally low-grade soul-forging stones, and the number is relatively small, so in order to compete for soul-forging stones, everyone will often have fights.
If you want to get a medium-grade or high-grade soul-forging stone, you have to go to the Nine-Curve maze formation, which only has medium-grade or high-grade soul-forging stones, and there are quite a lot of them. However, it requires strong strength to enter the Nine-Curve maze formation. It is not just a maze formation, but also faces attacks from various natural formations. The risk is very high. Ordinary cultivators in the Qi-enlightenment realm will surely die when they enter. Even cultivators in the Dancheng realm have little chance of survival.
"I don't know what the soul-forging stone looks like. Can the patriarch give me one?"
Ye Daoxin was completely shocked and could not calm down when he heard that there were soul-forging stones in the underwater world and the best soul-forging stones.
“No problem.”
Clan Pan took out a yellow crystal the size of a thumb, which was similar to green jade, but the color was different and emitted a misty yellow light, which looked very beautiful.
Ye Daoxin was very curious and took it over and looked at the yellow soul-forging stone carefully. Suddenly, the entire convention hall suddenly trembled, and then a rumbling sound came from a distance, as if something was a giant rushing towards the village.
"No, there are ferocious beasts under the sea coming."
The people in the conference hall changed their faces drastically. They didn't care about Ye Daoxin anymore, so they got up and ran outside.
Ye Daoxin was puzzled and returned the soul-forging stone to the patriarch Pan. He followed everyone out of the conference hall. Outside the hall, several captains from the village were solemnly commanding hundreds of young men and women, rushing up to the wide stone walls. Everyone was holding various weapons, including swords, spears, bows and arrows, and sharpened wooden sticks.
At the beginning, everyone seemed very nervous and felt a little panicked, but with the loud shouts and arrangements of several captains, everyone was divided into small teams, performing their duties in an orderly manner. Everyone had a little torch, some carried stones, some carried rolling wood, and some were filling stones into the trencher. For a moment, everyone was busy.
It was impossible to fly here. Ye Daoxin only heard the sound and did not see the ferocious beast under the sea. He jumped a few times and jumped onto the wall. Following the torches of the people on the wall, looking around, he could finally see what was happening in the distance.
????? Not far outside the village, five small mutant tiger sharks were clearing out obstacles under the leadership of a huge mutant tiger shark. These mutant tiger sharks actually had four legs, which could swim in the water or walk on land, and at a very fast speed, emitting a faint silver light all over.
Several mutant tiger sharks were tall, three or four feet tall and ten feet long. Especially the leading mutant tiger shark, which was twice as tall as other mutant tiger sharks, seven or eight feet tall, like a moving house. Every step they walked, the ground would shake, and their momentum was very scary. Its eyes emitted a red light, filled with a bloodthirsty ferocity, and it was rushing towards the village gate quickly with endless murderous aura.
The mutant tiger shark was very fierce. He bit the wooden stakes outside with his mouth, opened his mouth with his long serrated teeth, and bitten hard, and directly broke the row of sharpened wooden stakes. Then, it stepped on its giant legs and flattened the row of sharpened thorns. After a while, the obstacles outside had been almost completely cleaned by the five or six mutant tiger sharks.
For a moment, in front of the trench, strong winds were blowing, sand and stones were flying, and dust was flying. With the cover of the night, Ye Daoxin could not see clearly whether there were other mutant tiger sharks further away.
"Ao! Ao! Ao!"
Leading by this huge mutant tiger shark, several adult mutant tiger sharks let out a shocking roar, crossed the trench, came to the village gate, and directly hit the thick village gate.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
It made a loud thunderous sound, and the village gate shook. It felt like it would be knocked out for a few more times. The ground was trembling. The warrior on the stone wall turned pale. For a moment, he actually forgot to attack.
"Buzz,buzz,buzz..."
Suddenly, Ye Daoxin saw the patriarch Pan leading several elders to the stone wall next to the village gate, making a buzzing and harsh sound at the leading giant mutant tiger shark.
"Soul Attack?"
Ye Daoxin was shocked. The distance between the soul attack of the Clan Pan leader Pan was more than ten meters away. Isn’t that much stronger than himself?
The most important thing is that under the leadership of Clan Pan, the other two cultivators and elders also made continuous buzzing sounds. Although the buzzing sounds made by them were not as powerful as Clan Pan, they could bless the soul attack of Clan Pan, making Clan Pan’s soul attack farther and more powerful.
What kind of magic and soul secret technique is this? It can actually be added, and its power is amazing!
After hearing the buzzing sound, the attack speed of the mutant tiger shark actually slowed down and its power decreased a lot.
???? "It's a mutant tiger shark, an adult mutant tiger shark. The warriors in the front row use a spear to throw the mutant tiger shark. The archers on both sides quickly shoot arrows, and the people in the back row need to use poisonous arrows. The people in the back row quickly use a catapult cart."
When he saw clearly that it was an adult mutant tiger shark attacking the village gate, the captain in charge shouted while directing everyone to attack the huge mutant tiger shark.
????? For a moment, everyone moved. The middle-aged man with great strength kept throwing spears in his hands at the front. The young man with little strength bent his bow and arrows bent bent bent bent bent bent bent bent bent bent bent bent, and a large number of women, children and elderly people also emerged, holding various weapons to send them to the people on the stone wall. At the end, there were a group of heroes using a catapult cart and constantly throwing large stones.
For a moment, arrows were flying, shouting shook the sky, and spears after spears threw out the mutant tiger shark outside. From time to time, huge rocks in the sky hit the mutant tiger shark outside.
Ye Daoxin discovered that these weapons were of effect on the five small mutant tiger sharks behind, but they had no effect on the huge mutant tiger shark in front, and they could not even break their defense.
