Chapter 52 52 Unexpected Development

Chapter 52 52. Unexpected Development

A murder has occurred, and the last person the deceased saw before his death is naturally the main suspect.

As Xiaocha said, this black pot must be put on the head of the Jiushan faction.

But in the extraordinary world, things will never be so easily fooled.

On the night of the incident, the Wang family's backyard was still brightly lit.

The bodies of Wang Siqi and his son were placed in the study, and countless figures stood beside them.

One of the women was imposing and had a flesh seam on her forehead. She was the governor's daughter-Jiang Haiyan.

The incident happened under her nose, and it was reasonable for her to come and see it.

At this moment, the noble lady bowed to a middle-aged scholar:

"Lord Fan, thank you for your trouble!"

The man was wearing a simple green official robe, his eyes were as warm as jade, and there was a peach wood sword hanging around his waist.

If Lu Li was here, he would recognize it at a glance-this was the sword he had seen before in the "Shenxinhui"!

This person is Wang Siqi's immediate superior, the deputy envoy of the Shenxin Society - Fan Shouyi.

Facing countless eyes, Fan Shouyi said reservedly:

"[Soul extraction] is against the harmony of nature, and this official has to do it. I hope my colleagues will forgive me."

Several uncles of the Wang family bowed and said:

"Master Fan, don't worry. This is also to find out the murderer. I believe Siqi can understand it."

"That's right! The thieves obviously used firearms. It doesn't look like the work of the Jiushan faction."

Everyone talked about it, and Jiang Haiyan also echoed: "The soul can't last long, please act quickly!"

With permission, Fan Shouyi no longer hesitated, raised his hand and grabbed the face of Wang Siqi's corpse...

Everyone held their breath and waited for a long time...but nothing happened?

Fan Shouyi looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The soul has been extracted!"

"What!!"

There were exclamations in the field! Jiang Haiyan also showed shock!

"Soul extraction" is not an easy task. You must reach the Great Perfection of the [Zuowang] Realm to start, and you must have a complete inheritance!

There are only a handful of people in the whole Tianjin who can do this. Coincidentally, the Jiushan Sect is very good at it!

At this moment, countless people overturned their previous thoughts and wondered: The Jiushan Sect likes to extract souls and refine corpses the most. Could it be that they really did it!

Jiang Haiyan said coldly: "Lord Fan, can you extract the souls of other corpses to ask?"

"Without the cultivation of refining the spirit, the soul will disappear when the body dies, and it is too late."

Fan Shouyi answered casually, and was secretly worried about how to contact Izumo.

The distribution rights of "Bingpo Powder" were taken over by the Wang family father and son, relying on the contribution made by Wang Wenzhen when the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" was signed that year.

"This is troublesome... Who did it!?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When things got to this point, everyone thought that the murderer must be a cultivator above the [Zuowang] Realm.

Some even suspected that it was a master in the [Fetal Breathing] realm who remotely controlled the magic weapon, so it was silent.

As for the traces of gunfire, it was just to cover up.

No matter what a group of people think, it has nothing to do with Lu Li.

He stayed at home, eagerly studying books on spiritual cultivation.

"The Kunlun mirror extracted Wang Siqi's soul!"

It was the second day, and Lu Li was reading the famous "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

The author is still Pu Songling, but it is all about spiritual cultivation, which is equivalent to an "encyclopedia of spiritual cultivation".

"Sensing the soul is the top priority for breaking through the state of meditation. And the soul can also be used to make and drive magic tools!"

"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" openly wrote about the various uses of the soul, each one more weird than the other, and even made a mechanical puppet that moves like a human.

And the key point is that the soul of a cultivator is more condensed and more useful!

"Then, wouldn't it be very dangerous for a casual cultivator like me with no background!"

Lu Li touched the children's rifle beside him and thought to himself:

"The firepower is still not enough. I have to go back and get some more powerful weapons to avoid being sucked out of my soul."

"But then again, the Kunlun Mirror can actually [soul-steal]... This magic weapon is really extraordinary!"

"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" also talks about magic weapons.

People are divided into different levels, and so are magic weapons, which are divided into "nine grades".

Only the first three grades can be called "magic weapons", and the rest can only be called "magic tools".

Lu Li looked at the Kunlun Mirror with scars and pits all over, and couldn't help thinking:

"I wonder what grade you are? It's so magical even in this state, it must be a magic weapon..."

Kunlun Mirror didn't answer, but just roamed and opened up in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Its action may be instinctive, in order to improve the "living environment", but it really brought great benefits to Lu Li.

The breakthrough of the soul-refining realm is divided into the accumulation of hard practice and the sudden breakthrough of enlightenment after sufficient accumulation.

Now, the accumulation part is done by Kunlun Mirror day and night, Lu Li only needs to find a way to break through.

But breaking through is not that simple...

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Forget both the self and the world, and sense the soul."

The key to the breakthrough of Zuowang is nothing more than these eight words.

It is not difficult to understand when reading, but it is impossible to do it.

The so-called "forget both the self and the world" means to make one's mind completely quiet, without any thoughts, just like an ancient well without a ripple.

Only by doing this can one eliminate interference and sense and contact one's soul.

Lu Li tried actively, and then... fell asleep.

This so-called "forgetting both the self and the world" is almost impossible.

As long as a person is awake, the body will naturally move and maintain operation.

Even if you can empty your mind, can you also empty your heartbeat, blinking and other subconsciousness?

"Lock yourself in a dark room, completely isolated from the outside world, and try it?"

"No, isn't this a famous torture..."

Just when Lu Li was thinking, a fragrant breeze suddenly blew from behind, and a white and slender hand was placed on his shoulder.

"See that you have been thinking for a long time. If you really have no idea, get up and practice martial arts to change your mood~"

Xiaocha sat down next to Lu Li and said hopefully:

"Practice quickly, and then we will take care of each other~"

The girl said before that practicing martial arts at a high level requires passing through the meridians, which is risky.

So you must have someone you trust very much to help take care of you.

Lu Li smiled and said, "Do you trust me so much?"

"Hehe~ We are co-defendants, of course I trust you~"

Xiao Cha crossed her legs, her feet in cloth shoes bounced up and down, and you could vaguely see her white ankles.

"It's rare that Chatou trusts me, so I have to work harder~"

Practicing martial arts is related to the recovery of his broken leg, Lu Li has always been very concerned, and now he stood up and prepared to practice.

He casually asked, "How many steps are there to the [Golden Body] that can regenerate broken limbs?"

Xiao Cha counted on her fingers, "Next you have to forge bones, and then - refine organs, wash marrow, change blood, innate, and then [Golden Body]."

Lu Li sighed, "It's really a long journey..."

"You have the blessing of refining the spirit, you will succeed sooner or later~"

Xiao Cha encouraged, and then said, "By the way, you have to let Wan Qing teach you to identify acupoints and tendons to prepare for the future."

Lu Li had no objection.

Perhaps Wan Qing heard the conversation between the two, and she just came out of the house.

"Mr. Lu, there are some Western works in the books you brought back. You might as well take a look. Maybe you can learn something from it."

"I was just about to take a look." Lu Li said: "When breaking through the state of meditation, the theory of brain waves is very practical."
