Chapter 164: Soul Refining Technique
"Complete Guide to Soul Refining Technique Practice": This book records in detail the cultivation methods of the "Soul Refining Technique" and various precautions, ensuring a smooth and obstacle-free cultivation process for you.
"Soul Refining Technique": Utilize the Spiritual Transformation Furnace to refine spirits and scorch souls! Capture Bizarre entities in your palm and bake them with Spiritual Fire, inflicting unparalleled agony. Weaker Bizarre entities will turn to ash in an instant.
P.S. This technique was created by a mighty figure from the Demon Realm in his youth, specifically to torment the souls of his adversaries. It has been modified by the system to align with this world's Spiritual Power system.
Gazing at the distinctively styled reward, a moment of bewilderment flickered in Chu Feng's eyes.
Could the various Skills and items awarded by this system be directly transplanted from other worlds?
Shaking his head, after adding all the Attribute Points, Chu Feng opened his Attribute Panel to take another look.
Host: Chu Feng
Identity: Demon Hunter (First Rank)
Lifespan: 665
Strength: 511
Physique: 515
Spirit: 505
Spiritual Power: 580
Based on individual Attribute Values, Chu Feng's strength was roughly equivalent to a Middle Rank Evil Spirit or a Middle Rank Demon, but their actual combat power differed vastly.
Most Evil Spirits and Demons, in their haste to Advance, focused unevenly on certain Skills and completely lacked the concept of balanced development. In their worlds, Ranks of strength were especially crucial. Under the law of the jungle, where the strong preyed on the weak, Ranks also determined their status.
Moreover, most Bizarre and Demonic creatures possessed low intelligence at birth. Acting purely on instinct, how could they ever consider the importance of balanced development?
Furthermore, the weapons and Skills rewarded by the system weren't just for show. They made dealing with these Bizarre and Demonic entities much more effective.
Thankfully, the Attribute Values awarded by the system are fairly balanced, and no deficient Attributes have appeared!
After nodding, the Attribute Panel in front of Chu Feng vanished instantaneously.
In his mind, a scroll emitting a soft, hazy light slowly unfolded under his control.
Including the "Spiritual Wings Method" he had previously acquired, the "Soul Refining Technique" was now the second Cultivation Technique Chu Feng needed to cultivate on his own!
It seems the system is guiding me down a path of cultivation?
A sudden thought flashed through Chu Feng's mind.
Suppressing the speculation in his heart, Chu Feng focused his attention on the already open scroll within his mind.
"The soul is the foundation of the spirit! It can materialize and is impervious to mortal blades! However, all things in existence have their counters. The transformative fire of the spirit can scorch the soul. Now, with the power of the spirit gathered between fists and palms, interlinking to form a furnace, with the spirit as kindling, the sacred fire blazes..."
The scroll's preface introduced the "Soul Refining Technique." Its authentic Eastern flavor momentarily made Chu Feng feel as if he had, in a daze, returned to his homeland.
Turning past the preface, the actual cultivation method for the "Soul Refining Technique" finally appeared.
Following the listed Spiritual Power circulation routes and cultivation precautions, Chu Feng mentally simulated the process. It didn't feel too difficult. His own substantial Spiritual Power, which he controlled as easily as an extension of his arm, could help him avoid many potential problems.
After carefully reading it from beginning to end several more times, Chu Feng finally began his first attempt.
Focused on circulating the Spiritual Power within his body, Chu Feng didn't notice that as he began, the hazy light from the "Complete Guide to Soul Refining Technique Practice," open in his mind, started to merge with his body bit by bit.
So smooth!
This was Chu Feng's first sensation as he began to try the Soul Refining Technique, as if something was guiding his Spiritual Power.
The Spiritual Power within his body began to travel from his dantian, through his meridians, eventually reaching the palm of his hand. This was the simplest step. Chu Feng, who often infused Spiritual Power into his Demon Hunting Blade, had long since mastered it.
Next was the most critical step: linking the Spiritual Power to form the furnace in his palm.
According to the book, the furnace formed in the palm would only appear during the initial linking, after which it would become hidden. Subsequently, when used, only a silver-white Spiritual Fire would burn within the palm.
Under some unknown guidance, countless silver-white threads of Spiritual Power formed within Chu Feng's palm, intertwining and linking with one another.
In no time, an exquisitely delicate, silver-white furnace appeared in Chu Feng's palm.
Is it really this simple?
Such a smooth process made Chu Feng somewhat incredulous.
In his mind, a Cultivation Technique like the Soul Refining Technique, created by a mighty figure of the Demonic Path, should surely require hundreds of failures before success was even possible!
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Chu Feng prepared for the final step! If there was nothing wrong with the furnace in his palm, then lighting the Spiritual Fire should proceed without any mishaps.
Chu Feng forcibly compressed a dense cluster of Spiritual Power into a tangible, silver-white point of light. Under his control, the point of light slowly drifted into the furnace.
As the furnace door closed, BANG! Silver-white flames shot up from the bottom of the furnace.
Damn it! I think I used too much Spiritual Power!
Just as Chu Feng was about to try and remedy the situation, the silver-white flames that had leaped from the bottom of the furnace slowly retracted.
Then, as Chu Feng watched, the silver-white furnace slowly faded, disappearing without a trace.
Only a cluster of silver-white flames burned quietly in his palm.
Could this be... success?
The flame burned steadily. Although it was in his palm, Chu Feng didn't feel the slightest scorching sensation, only a comfortable warmth.
It was too simple, too smooth! This ease even made Chu Feng wonder if he was experiencing some kind of Bizarre illusion. But the Skills panel showed no flashing icons, which ultimately convinced him that what was happening before his eyes was real.
Could it be that I have the innate physique of a cultivation prodigy?
Any narcissistic thoughts were swept from Chu Feng's mind with a tinge of embarrassment when he saw that the book in his mind had dimmed.
So *that's* what the 'Complete Guide to Soul Refining Technique Practice' meant by 'complete guide'...
Henceforth, the power of the Soul Refining Technique would be directly related to the strength of Chu Feng's Spiritual Power.
As described in the "Complete Guide to Soul Refining Technique Practice," although anyone could learn the Soul Refining Technique, the power it wielded when used varied greatly. Some people's Soul Refining Technique could only roast a single mortal's soul. However, in the hands of a Demon Realm overlord, it could overshadow the sun and moon, capable of holding an immortal holy land in their palm and turning it to ash in an instant.
Those mighty beings from higher-level worlds are too terrifying. I'd be content if I could eventually just hold Hell in my palm and have a little barbecue!
Unfortunately, there were no Bizarre entities nearby; otherwise, Chu Feng could have tested the power of his Soul Refining Technique.
Thinking of Bizarre entities, Chu Feng suddenly looked up at the sky.
Somehow, the dark clouds had completely vanished, and after an unknown period, the small city of Fairbanks finally saw the long-missed sun.
The ice and snow on the ground seemed to be starting to melt under the sunlight. The thin layer of snow on the building ruins had already melted considerably.
