Chapter 104: Refining the Demon Core, Heavenly Sound Soul Seizing!
Chapter 104: Refining the Demon Core, Heavenly Sound Soul Seizing!
The Demonic Sage Realm Demon, Spirit Nine Lives Cat, perished!
After Qin Zheng's consecutive arrows, the demon that relished in devouring human souls also met its end in Heiyan City.
After its fall, Qin Zheng noticed that Ren Bin didn't leave but instead swiftly used his lightfooted skills to rush towards the corpse of the Spirit Nine Lives Cat, followed by a thorough search.
Qin Zheng's gaze narrowed slightly, and he then turned to search the woman's body for any other treasures.
After a few breaths, he retracted his hand with some disappointment, finding only the small jade will from earlier on the woman's body, and nothing else.
At this moment, Ren Bin, using his lightfooted skills, arrived behind Qin Zheng and handed something to him, saying, "Here, the Demon Core, something that only a Demonic Sage Realm demon can condense."
Qin Zheng turned around and looked at the Demon Core, about the size of a thumb, that Ren Bin was holding out.
Only a Demonic Sage Realm demon could condense such a Demon Core.
He curiously took it and felt a surging mental energy within it.
"The power contained in the Demon Core is mixed with demonic energy. We martial artists cannot absorb it directly, but it's excellent for forging weapons."
Ren Bin continued speaking in front of Qin Zheng.
At this moment, the Merit Scroll in Qin Zheng's Heart Sea trembled slightly, and a new line of text appeared.
【Discovered Item: Spirit Cat Demon Core, can be refined, requires 1 pound of Merit, refine?】
【Note: Refining grants the martial art Heavenly Sound Soul Seizing】
Qin Zheng's eyebrows raised slightly, and he immediately put the Demon Core away.
The Master Realm expert from the Ji Zi Clan was still in front of him, so he couldn't refine it immediately.
However, Qin Zheng hadn't expected that refining the Demon Core would grant him a martial art.
Moreover, the words 'Heavenly Sound Soul Seizing' clearly indicated a psychic martial art. Recalling how the cat demon's cries would trigger a psychic attack each time, Qin Zheng slowly devised a plan.
Seeing Qin Zheng put away the Demon Core, Ren Bin didn't say more.
After all, this Spirit Nine Lives Cat of the Demonic Sage Realm was killed by Qin Zheng, and he had saved Ren Bin's life.
Otherwise, he might not have been able to stand here unharmed.
So, when Qin Zheng turned his attention to the Master Realm expert from the Ji Zi Clan, a hint of hesitation appeared on Ren Bin's face.
However, he spoke up, "Chu Long was discovered by the Grand General at a young age due to his extraordinary talent and was brought along to be nurtured."
"And indeed, he has proven himself. Even before connecting heaven and earth, he already possesses combat power rivaling a Master Realm expert."
"So..."
At this point, he looked at Qin Zheng and spoke as if offering advice, "The Grand General will not allow him to be confined in the N Character Camp, awaiting trial."
"This time it's me, but next time, it's very likely that the Grand General himself will come!"
"You may not know this, but there's a vast gap between Master Realm experts, like the difference between clouds and mud!"
Facing his advice, Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, without the slightest hesitation.
However, regarding this Master Realm expert, who was completely different from Chu Long, Qin Zheng spoke up,
"He disregarded human lives, watching as the citizens of a city fell into the jaws of a demon, unmoved, all to lure the Silver Moon Wolf King."
"If I let him go, my conscience will be troubled!"
His words resonated, and Ren Bin understood Qin Zheng's intention.
Ren Bin sighed softly and said, "Currently, the demon disasters are severe everywhere. With his martial prowess, it's better to let him kill demons than to die in prison."
Qin Zheng didn't respond, so Ren Bin could only bid farewell with a fist salute, "Farewell!"
After speaking, he used his lightfooted skills to depart, his figure swiftly vanishing from Qin Zheng's sight.
After Ren Bin's departure, Qin Zheng didn't leave either. Instead, he slowly walked through Heiyan City.
This was the first city he resided in after crossing over.
Speaking of it, he didn't seem to have left this place for long, but in a daze, everything had changed dramatically.
He walked through the once-bustling western part of the city, the southern area where he later lived, and the eastern area where he first resided.
Many familiar places had turned into ruins, and finally, he arrived at the graves of Qi Yan and the others, which remained untouched.
Qin Zheng stood there in a daze for a long time, then sighed softly and turned to leave.
The situation here would be handled by Xinyang Prefecture; demon slayers only slay demons.
The horse galloped along the same path, and after half a day, Qin Zheng returned to the N Character Camp.
Upon his return, Chu Yu and the others felt slightly relieved, but seeing Qin Zheng's somewhat dejected expression, they tactfully refrained from disturbing him.
Qin Zheng went to his residence and slept without bothering with anything else.
After waking up, he went to the camp assigned to him.
He took out the silver-white Demon Core and carefully examined it.
After a few breaths, Qin Zheng's mind stirred, and he muttered, "Refine!"
Instantly, the Merit Scroll deducted one pound, and the Demon Core in Qin Zheng's hand instantly melted, merging into his hand.
At the same time, in his mind, martial arts insights began to emerge.
As he had expected, it was indeed a psychic martial art that used sound as a medium, capable of calming the soul and capturing the spirit, killing silently!
When the refinement ended, Qin Zheng's attention turned to the Merit Scroll, and his eyebrows rose slightly.
【Qin Zheng】
【Lifespan: 150 (17)】
【Martial Arts: Bodhimanda Wisdom Technique (31st Layer), Tibetan Secret Perception Spirit Book (Great Accomplishment), Heavenly Sound Soul Seizing (Great Accomplishment).】
【Merit: 193.75 Jin】
【Current Martial Art: Bodhimanda Wisdom Technique, can be upgraded, requires 1 Jin of Merit, do you want to upgrade?】
【Current Martial Art: Tibetan Secret Perception Spirit Book, can be upgraded, requires 1,000 Jin of Merit, do you want to upgrade?】
【Current Martial Art: Heavenly Sound Soul Seizing, can be upgraded, requires 100 Jin of Merit, do you want to upgrade?】
Refining this demonic core only consumed 1 Jin of merit, pushing it to the Great Accomplishment realm!
However, to continue upgrading, it requires another 100 Jin of merit.
Such consumption and gain seem somewhat illogical.
But Qin Zheng thought again and understood.
He had just refined the demonic core, and the entire core had merged into his body.
In other words, the power within the core had also been refined and became a boost, pushing this martial art to Great Accomplishment.
After this power was consumed, the required merit to upgrade returned to normal.
However, to upgrade it to perfection, it still required 100 Jin of merit; the consumption of psychic martial arts was indeed significant.
Qin Zheng couldn't help but feel a little amazed.
But with abundant merit, it was enough to upgrade this psychic martial art to perfection. Still, he didn't plan to do so.
His combat power at this moment mainly came from his vast and mighty strength.
Whether it was his sword techniques or arrow skills, with the boost of this formidable strength, they unleashed tremendous power.
After going to the Commander-in-Chief, he would quickly upgrade his inner strength with merit.
Then, he could quickly cultivate his life essence Qi, merge it with his psychic power to generate more true energy, and enhance his physical strength.
As for this psychic martial art, it could be used as a surprise attack when the opportunity arises. Great Accomplishment is sufficient for now, and there's no need to spend so much merit to upgrade it to perfection.
With this in mind, Qin Zheng shifted his focus from this martial art and instead gathered his attention at his brow center.
The jade will that fell from the woman's body melted like water and was quickly absorbed by his brow center.
At this moment, he couldn't sense the existence of the jade will at all.
His brow center stored his vast psychic power, and his soul was rooted in his divine soul.
The origin and purpose of the jade will were unknown, but it had been absorbed by his brow center. He wasn't sure if it was good or bad.
However, recalling his soul's yearning for the jade will at that time, perhaps it was a good thing.
Qin Zheng could only think this way for now.
After that, he sat down in his tent again and began cultivating the Five Viscera Cultivation Skill.
A day later, three people came to the N Character Army Camp.
Wang Weiqian, a young man in a green robe, and Ren Bin, a Master Realm expert from the Ji Zi Clan.
"Brother Qin, this is the Commander-in-Chief's disciple, Fu Yu."
When Qin Zheng sensed their auras and stepped out of the tent, Wang Weiqian took a step forward and introduced them.
Qin Zheng nodded and bowed in greeting.
The young man's age seemed not much older than his, but his aura was as mighty as a mountain, causing Qin Zheng's body to tense up slightly.
"This is Ren Bin from the Ji Zi Clan."
"No need for introductions, we know each other."
Wang Weiqian wanted to introduce Ren Bin, but Ren Bin interrupted him, cutting off Wang Weiqian's words.
His expression was somewhat reluctant, as if he was forced to return.
"To be able to kill a Great Demon of the Demonic Sage Realm with just two arrows at the Master Realm is indeed an extraordinary talent."
Fu Yu looked at Qin Zheng and smiled slightly, nodding as he spoke.
"Your praise is too kind, sir."
Qin Zheng didn't know how to respond, so he replied with a simple acknowledgment.
Fu Yu continued, "The Commander-in-Chief received the message from the N Character Army Camp and is aware of the situation here. He is very pleased with you."
"I came here to take you to meet the Commander-in-Chief. Pack your things and come with me."
Qin Zheng knew this day would come and wasn't surprised. He nodded immediately.
Turning around, he entered the tent, picked up his weapon, and then ordered someone to bring Chu Long out from the dungeon.
So, when Chu Long, covered in injuries and with a weak aura, was brought out, not only Ren Bin but even Fu Yu was surprised.
In this state, anyone could probably kill him, right?
This genius from the Ji Zi Clan, who possessed innate divine strength and had comprehended the Divine Elephant True Intention, had been severely injured and was on the brink of death!
Everyone gained a new understanding of Qin Zheng's ruthlessness.
Ren Bin's gaze towards Qin Zheng also held a hint of apprehension.
With such formidable strength and ruthlessness, this person would surely achieve greatness in the future!
Fu Yu turned to look at Ren Bin and said, "Before General Qin returns, you will stay and command the N Character Army Camp. As for General Xu, I will explain the situation."
Ren Bin nodded slightly, feeling a bit sullen.
He had been caught on his way back to the Ji Zi Clan by the Commander-in-Chief's disciple and didn't genuinely want to return.
Seeing that Qin Zheng had ordered Chu Long to be tied to a horse, Fu Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go."
