Chapter 11 Symbiosis between Animal Soul Beasts and Plant Soul Beasts click! The Lingyun turtle bit the big white carp's head and there was a sound of broken bones. However, after the death of this big white carp, no soul ring appeared. It was obvious that it did not become a soul beast, but was just an ordinary big white carp. Compared with the big white carp eaten by Zhou Qing and Tang San before, this big white carp was only nearly 20 centimeters long. However, the length of the Lingyun Turtle is more than two meters! "In the book about soul beasts that I asked someone to buy, there is information about the Lingyun Turtle. This is a turtle soul beast with a relatively large population. The age is recorded based on the tortoise pattern on the turtle's back." Zhou Qing pointed at the two dark green tortoise patterns on the Lingyun tortoise that circled its shell and said to Tang San, "This one has two circles, which proves that its cultivation is between two hundred and three hundred years old, but definitely less than three hundred years old." "However, most people would not choose a hundred-year-old spiritual turtle as a soul ring. Even soul masters whose martial souls are turtles rarely choose this kind of soul beast." Tang San was puzzled: "Why? Is it because this Lingyun Turtle can't provide soul masters with soul skills?" Considering that most of the skills of the soul masters in this world come from soul beasts, if the soul ring of a soul beast cannot provide soul skills to the soul master, it will naturally not be valued. "What are you thinking? Except for some extremely special martial spirits or extremely special soul beasts, the martial spirit of a soul master can obtain soul skills after absorbing the soul ring of a soul beast." Zhou Qing said confidently, "And the reason why the hundred-year-level Lingyun Turtle is not popular among soul masters is that the soul skills that the hundred-year-level Lingyun Turtle can provide to soul masters are relatively useless, and are called: sleep."
Sleep? Tang San was full of black lines on his head. This could be called a spirit skill? As long as they were not suffering from insomnia, any normal person could do it, right? Zhou Qing continued to introduce: "It is said that after a soul master uses the sleep soul skill, he can fall asleep instantly, and this soul skill can only work on himself." Tang San scratched his head and became even more speechless. He also knew the types of soul masters: strong attack, agile attack, control, defense, treatment, support, and food. After learning about the existence of the soul master competition through Zhou Qing's family's books, he understood that these classifications were all made for this competition similar to the "Martial Arts Conference". This sleeping skill can be classified as an auxiliary skill, but it cannot assist teammates in combat, nor can it help oneself improve strength. It can only help oneself sleep better. It's useful! This skill would be great if it could help others sleep, and perhaps allow contestants to feel energetic the next day. "But I guess the reason why this soul skill can only work on myself is because it can be used to enhance my spiritual power." Zhou Qing continued, "Sleeping may seem simple, but it actually has a great effect. Based on my observations of the people in the village, I found a pattern: if you sleep well, you will be full of energy the next day, but if you don't sleep well, you will feel listless the next day." "I found this term, spiritual power, in a book related to soul master cultivation. It says that only soul douluos above level 80 can sense the existence of spiritual power, and only titled douluos at level 90 can figure out a simple way to cultivate spiritual power." “Although I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but as for the existence of mental power, I don’t think one has to be a Soul Douluo to possess it. It’s just that we can’t perceive it when our strength is low.” Hearing this, Tang San was astonished! Tang San naturally understood the importance of mental power. In fact, the Purple Demon Pupil was a method to cultivate mental power, and when combined with the Mysterious Heavenly Skill, they complemented each other! Moreover, masters of internal martial arts with low strength also need to use mental strength, because controlling the circulation of internal force in the body requires control by the mind itself. But he never expected that Zhou Qing, who was only four years old, could infer the importance of mental strength from just a few words in the book. From this perspective, if the soul ring and soul skills of the Hundred-Year-Old Lingyun Turtle can enhance a person's mental strength through sleep, it is not impossible. But why is the Lingyun Turtle not the first choice of soul masters? Tang San recalled Zhou Qing's family's books about spirit masters, as well as the crude meridian map in the "Spirit Hall's Elementary Meditation Technique", and he figured it out. In this world, soul masters at the Soul Douluo level can accurately sense the effect of mental power on the operation of soul power, and they officially begin practicing at the Titled Douluo stage. It is easy for people to form the idea that "mental power can only be cultivated by Titled Douluo". Moreover, the soul skills of the Hundred-Year-Old Lingyun Turtle may not be so effective in improving mental strength. Moreover, it is impossible for a soul master who has obtained the Lingyun Turtle soul ring to use it on himself before going to bed every day. He cannot use it on himself for years and months, so naturally he cannot effectively improve his mental strength. Regarding the "sleeping" technique, Tang San had also heard about it in his previous life. There was a technique in Wudang called "Sleeping Dragon", which was created by Zhang Sanfeng. It could purify internal strength and enhance the spirit while sleeping. Isn't this the effect that the Lingyun Turtle brings to the soul skills? It’s just that the soul masters in this world focus on combat, and even their auxiliary abilities are only for assisting in combat, without them thinking of assisting in other aspects. For example: assisting in the cultivation of spiritual power! of course! Tang San was more optimistic about Zhou Qing. This four-year-old child could see the essential function of "sleep" in this world, which he himself almost overlooked.
Seriously! “When the Lingyun Turtle reaches a thousand years old, more and more soul masters will hunt it as a soul ring. Not only turtle soul masters, but also some plant soul masters will choose it as their third or fourth soul ring.” Zhou Qing continued. "It's a thousand-year-old Lingyun Turtle. The soul ring's soul skills have become more effective. Can it significantly improve mental strength?" Tang San blurted out, but then denied it. If the soul skills that a thousand-year-old Lingyun Turtle brings to soul masters are of great effect, then it doesn't make sense that there would be a common perception that "spiritual power is something that only Titled Douluo can cultivate", right? "No." Zhou Qing shook his head, looking at the two hundred year old Lingyun turtle that was tearing off the meat of the big white carp in small bites and chewing it slowly, and pointed at the water plants on its back and said. "For a thousand-year-old spiritual turtle, the process of reaching the ten-thousand-year level is actually a very painful process—" "When its cultivation reaches a thousand years, the top of its shell will break. The Lingyun Turtle will look for plant seeds and place them in the gap at the top. It will then use ten thousand years to cultivate their growth until they are completely integrated with its own shell and flesh." "In this way, a Lingyun turtle that has reached the ten thousand year level no longer needs to worry about food. It only needs to drink water and occasionally eat some soil in a special environment to live forever. As long as the sun exists in the sky, the plants on its back can provide the Lingyun turtle with a constant supply of energy for activities." "This is a symbiotic relationship! The plant growing on the back of the thousand-year-old Lingyun turtle will gradually transform into a soul beast, and its cultivation level will be the same as that of the Lingyun turtle..."
