"This is also good for the spooky and skillful general."
As he left the meeting hall, walking towards the large screen while gradually losing focus on the detailed content of "Tie Lingshi" he had just acquired, George's mood improved even further.
"Tie Lingshi" is specifically designed for spirits, utilizing techniques that manipulate spirits with minimal effort, capable of forcing stronger spirits into one's own Dan Tian (a vital energy core in Daoist practices) against their will.
It can be used to possess the abilities of spirits, or it can be consumed directly to enhance one's own strength.
Most importantly, the stronger your own abilities are, the stronger the spirits you can capture will be.
In theory, with a refinement comparable to Wang Bing's, you can capture a spirit that has been cultivating for a thousand years in this world. Of course, this is limited to spirits. If there is a body, then naturally you cannot capture it.
And if he were to master the art of "Tie Lingshi and Jian Lingshi," with his strength, not to mention a thousand years, even ten thousand years would be no problem.
Of course, this only refers to spirits without actual strength. If there is a physical entity involved, then it would not be possible.
The participants of this competition, the Deng brothers - Deng Youfu and Deng Youcai - have a spirit of a thousand-year snake goddess residing in their bodies, giving them extraordinary strength.
They can harness the power of this spirit to assist in battle. Theoretically, whether it be Feng Xingtong or Wang Bing, either could easily control the situation with the help of Tie Lingshi and Jian Lingshi.
However, if the spirit of this snake goddess were to return to its original form in Changbaishan, not even Wang Bing or Wang Ai could withstand it.
The Deng brothers, Deng Youfu and Deng Youcai, originate from the Northeastern Shangmaixian clan, one of the Ten Great Powerful Forces.
The family maintains the service of the Five Immortals: the Fox Immortal ( fox), the Yellow Spirit Immortal (ferret), the White Immortal (hedgehog), the Willow Immortal (snake), and the Gray Immortal (rat).
Each lifetime of a Shangmaixian only collaborates with one immortal family, and to achieve such collaboration, several generations of hard work and even life may be required. As such, the choice of collaborating immortal family is incredibly cautious for a Shangmaixian.
Once the collaboration is achieved, the Shangmaixian and the immortal will regard each other as family.
This time, in order to let the two brothers make a name for themselves and obtain the heavenly scroll, the snake immortal left its physical form and entered the bodies of the two brothers as a spirit.
Otherwise, with so many powerful spirits in the Northeast, if they didn't have a physical form, the Wang family would have eaten them all by now.
But that's already very good.
In the future, across the myriad heavens and worlds, when encountering powerful beings who only have souls and no physical form, he can easily manipulate them with his Tie Lingshi and Jian Lingshi skills.
Like the powerful existence, Soren, who was damaged by him in the physical body in the Middle Earth world, he could easily capture and eat to enhance his strength at any moment.
There's also the main world, which he sealed away. The great snake, Kur, whose body was eradicated, can have its soul consumed for spiritual enhancement.
In theory, as long as the enemy is defeated and they are left in a soul state, the Tie Lingshi and Jian Lingshi technique can be used to capture them, and then consumed to increase one's own strength.
However, as someone who has experienced so many worlds and studied so many magical arts, including dark magic, he has slightly noticed some drawbacks of the Tie Lingshi and Jian Lingshi technique.
While the method of consuming spirits is undoubtedly effective, it cannot fully absorb all the power of a spirit; only a small portion can be consumed. Moreover, if one is not careful and does not control their consumption, it may negatively affect their soul.
Spirits have thoughts. When you absorb their power, you also absorb their consciousness. If not controlled, it might lead to madness in the end.
So he speculates that maybe Feng Tianyang isn't necessarily showing loyalty by handing over the complete version of Tie Lingshi and Jian Lingshi, but instead, only giving a mutilated version to his own family's descendants.
Using Tie Lingshi and Jian Lingshi to possess, but not to consume the spirit, may actually be safer.
But this is not a concern for him either. His soul is powerful, and he possesses psychic abilities that allow him to cleanse the spirit's consciousness as cleanly as possible during the consumption process.
Moreover, as long as one finds a high-quality spirit and consumes only high-quality ones, rather than consuming many average ones, the effects will be minimal. Once the consciousness is thoroughly cleansed after consumption, it can be effectively reused.
He has so many clones. Even if he only consumes one at a time, it will take a long time before he consumes another. In reality, it is equivalent to consuming several simultaneously.
Because the strength of his clones is cumulative.
This also counts as a small bug.
Speaking of it, the Tie Lingshi and Jian Lingshi technique works well with Xinngi (to release breath to expel the enemy's spirit), first using Xinngi to blow out the enemy's spirit, and then using Tie Lingshi and Jian Lingshi to capture the spirit.
After studying the Tie Lingshi and Jian Lingshi technique, he grew increasingly eager for the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.
Although the eight extraordinary techniques may not be as powerful when held by people in this world, they may yet hold another scenario when in his hands.
"Old Yellow, the match is over. How is it?"
Returning to the open ground outside the venue, George saw Huang Ming and Liu Xingyang standing by the large screen, clearly having finished their match.
"Lost!"
Huang Ming scratched his head with a smile.
In the final moments, he had resorted to his trump card, the ability to transform into the Yang God, which gave him a sliver of chance to win. Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao tricked him by holding his breath.
Fortunately, Liu Xingyang, who was watching from the side, appeared as the Yang God in time to hardily intercept Xiao Xiao's exhalation, saving him from being blasted. Otherwise, if he was hit directly, he would have at least needed seven days to restore his soul to normal.
"But you, actually possess the Pre-Dan Dao lightning law. No wonder you had the confidence to let me bet on you."
Midway through his sentence, he remembered his senior brother was standing beside him and quickly shut his mouth.
He hadn't dared to inform his senior brother about the 3,000 yuan deposit he had put up for the event.
Not to mention whether his senior brother would criticize him for gambling, if he really won the money, his senior brother would definitely seize most of it, with the excuse that he was afraid he would spend it recklessly and affect his cultivation.
"Little Jin, you were too irrational just now. The Wang family is not something easy to provoke. After the competition is over, you will join us in going down the mountain and returning to Beijing. Then, you will stay in the observatory for a while."
At this moment, Liu Xingyang, who couldn't care less about the loopholes in Huang Ming's words, turned serious and spoke to George.
Disgracing the Wang family would certainly lead to retaliation in the future.
However, as long as they are together, although the White Cloud Temple may not be as powerful as the Ten Major Families' Wang family, it is still a large Daoist sect and has relationships with various other Daoist establishments. Wang Ai would not dare to act rashly.
Once they return to Beijing, as long as Little Jin stays at the White Cloud Temple for a few months, the incident will fade away. Wang Ai won't dare to stir up trouble anymore.
As for Little Jin's family, there is no need to worry about that.
But for ordinary people, there might be some issues.
The rule is that Yiren can't harm ordinary people, but with the strength of the Wang family, simply beating up some small thugs and not causing any fatalities, any issues can be overlooked by Guanyin.
However, Little Jin's family are all truly wealthy individuals with deep connections to many powerful people. The Wang family's secular influence is simply no match for their resources.
If they dare to use Yiren methods, this will touch the bottom line of Anyutong.
"Old Jin, don't worry. Join us at Tian Xia Hui, and the Wang family won't dare to touch you!"
At this moment, Feng Xingtong and Feng Sha Yan walked over.
The Wang family uses Tie Lingshi and Jian Lingshi, even a more complete version than their own, and Feng Xingtong discovered it immediately and notified his father Feng Zhenhao.
And Feng Zhenhao is now going to confront Wang Ai for an explanation.
He also instructed him to take this opportunity to bring Little Jin into Tian Xia Hui.
Little Jin is a self-taught practitioner who has learned foreign magic and possesses the Pre-Dan Dao Lightning Law as a Yiren. Currently, he is only seventeen years old and comes from an extremely wealthy family.
If he can be brought into Tian Xia Hui, it would be of tremendous help to the organization.
