Overthrow the Cultivation Civilization

Chapter 308: Preliminary Results of Soul Experiment

Lei Yiming stood in the dim secret room, with all kinds of strange instruments and experimental records in front of him. He frowned slightly, thinking back to the experiments on soul mates over the past five months.

At first, they tried to connect soul companions of different ranks with the monks. When a low-rank spirit beast was combined with a monk, the soul infusion just started, and the spirit beast began to struggle painfully, and soon exploded and died, leaving only a bloody and chaotic scene. Lei Yiming shook his head and wrote heavily on the record: "Low-rank spirit beasts cannot withstand soul infusion."

Then, they selected soul mates who had entered the realm of the highest grade. Although these soul mates also seemed to be in great pain under the impact of the soul, they were able to hold on.

Lei Yiming carefully observed their reactions, constantly adjusting the intensity and rhythm of the soul infusion. He found that the higher the grade of the spiritual pet, the calmer it behaved, and the greater the help it provided to the cultivator. Although the lower grade spiritual pets could also provide some help, their effect was really limited.

During the experiment, Lei Yiming also noticed that if the soul companions' power was continuously extracted, they would gradually become weaker and even damaged. Therefore, he stipulated that the soul companions should stop and rest every once in a while. Seeing those tired soul companions gradually regain their vitality after resting, he nodded secretly in his heart.

Once, when their soul mate was exhausted, they tried to provide it with a "pure soul". A magical thing happened. After absorbing the pure soul, not only did the soul mate recover from the damage, but it also became stronger. Lei Yiming's eyes flashed with excitement, and he quickly recorded this discovery.

However, when they tried to combine a high-level cultivator with a low-level soul partner, they found that the effect was minimal. Lei Yiming understood that the soul partner and the cultivator's rank must be compatible. High-level spirit pets are mature and difficult to compromise, while low-level soul partners can only establish a deep emotional foundation after being cultivated.

After this series of experiments, Lei Yiming deeply realized that the road to cultivating a soul mate is long and difficult. He sighed and looked at the table full of records, his heart full of expectations and a little worry.

He knew that it would be difficult to see results in a short period of time, and he could only hope that the low-level monks would cultivate a powerful soul partner on their own. And the mysterious soul-devouring snake was always a special existence, not within the scope of these conventional experiments.

……

Lei Yiming left a message: Siyu, after more than five months of experimental observation, the matter finally had a result.

1. Not every soul partner will work. If a soul partner is not strong enough, it will not be able to withstand the infusion of souls and will explode and die. Only a soul partner of high grade can withstand such destruction, and the higher the grade of the soul pet, the greater the help it can provide. As for low-grade soul beasts, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

2. Souls cannot be extracted endlessly. Every once in a while, the soul partners must be allowed to stop and rest, otherwise they will also be damaged fundamentally.

3. Continuously devouring souls is a great burden on soul companions. If you provide them with a "pure soul" at this time, it will not only repair their damage and perfectly pass the fatigue period, but also help them become stronger.

4. The soul mate and the monk's rank must match. For example, if the monk's realm is much higher than that of the soul mate, this will not help the monk at all. Soul mates must be cultivated from a low level to have an emotional foundation. High-level soul pets are already mature in their thinking and will no longer compromise easily.

5. This is an extension of the fourth point. This matter may not see results in a short period of time. We can only rely on these low-level monks to cultivate a soul mate themselves. If they really cultivate one, then your successful experience can be replicated.

6. If you devour the power refined by your soul mate for a long time, your emotions will still become violent and sometimes bloodthirsty, but if your soul mate devours a "pure soul", these negative emotions can be cleared.

Due to the short research time, it is not clear how long a pure soul can maintain a soul mate, but preliminary estimates are around ten years.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that the grade of the spirit pets is too low. If they are upgraded to a high grade, they may only be useful for a year.

7. Please ignore the above items. The soul-eating snake is not among them.

Lei Siyu read the message sent by her great-grandfather twice carefully, and a wave of fear surged in her heart. Only then did she feel that she was extremely lucky. Almost, she and Wang Qiye would have both died. She couldn't help but look at the little black snake with curiosity again, and marveled.

The Lei family had indeed found a path within reach, but the conditions of this path were harsh and seemed a bit narrow. But since Grandpa Zeng said so, the only variable in his path was Wang Qiye. "Now people cherish him so much. I'm worried that he will choke even if he drinks water." The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

The message mentioned pure souls many times, and it seemed that this was the key to the success or failure of the Lei family. However, this completely ruined the relationship with the Li family, one of the eight families of the inheritance.

She sighed slightly, feeling somewhat helpless. "Forget it, these are not things I should worry about. I just need to protect Wang Qiye and be a good young lady."

"Oh, if only he could be a little more obedient and not be so fickle." Lei Siyu murmured softly, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

.........

Recently, the market and major auction houses were surprised to find that someone was buying up "pure souls" in large quantities. This item, which used to cost 1,000 spirit stones per piece and no one wanted, has now skyrocketed in price to 10,000 spirit stones per piece, but it is still in short supply.

The originally calm market was suddenly stirred up, and various forces speculated who was buying pure souls so frantically. Some well-informed people snooped around, trying to find the mysterious buyer behind the scenes. The major auction houses also became very lively because of this sudden demand. The auctioneers excitedly waved their hammers and shouted out one jaw-dropping high price after another.

Those monks who once disdained pure souls now regretted the high price. Some savvy businessmen smelled business opportunities and began to search for pure souls everywhere, hoping to get a share of this crazy transaction. The entire cultivation world fell into a tense and excited atmosphere because of this mysterious acquisition.

Pure souls are not rare. In this world, one soul is born for every ten million people. Its appearance seems to have a certain probability, but it is not difficult to find.

Some blessed places can mass produce these things by spending some spiritual stones and time. In those mysterious places, there seems to be a magical power that can continuously produce pure souls. Even some magic weapons and spiritual treasures have the ability to purify souls into pure souls, and some exercises can also achieve this. These magical means make pure souls not out of reach in the world of cultivation.

However, there is no shortage of speculators in the world of cultivation. This time everyone thought that it was another speculator who had set his sights on this business. People speculated on the intentions of this mysterious person and secretly guessed the story behind this transaction.

Some people think this is just a short-lived craze that will soon pass; others worry about market fluctuations and are afraid of being dragged into it. But most people think that this trader may have miscalculated. By purchasing pure souls on such a large scale, he may end up losing all of them. After all, although pure souls have their value, they are not irreplaceable.

……

In a secret room.

Lei Tianyu sat on the high platform with a dignified look. "How is it going?" His voice was steady and powerful.

Lei Yiming responded respectfully: "According to the order of the Grand Ancestor, all pure souls on the market that are less than 10,000 spirit stones have been swept away."

"Well, well done." Lei Tianyu then showed a satisfied smile.

Lei Yiming asked tentatively: "Did you raise the price too high?"

"You are still not courageous enough. Our Soul Purifying Stone can only purify a hundred pure souls in ten years. It is far from enough to rely on us alone."

Lei Tianyu shook his head slightly. "If we don't give out some benefits, how can others have motivation? We have only spent a small amount of money now, but the bulk of the karma has been taken by them. It is still worthwhile."

Lei Yiming showed a look of sudden realization: "If we continue to purchase like this for a year or so, I believe there will be a lot of pure souls in the next few years. Will we still offer the same price then?"

"That depends on whether it is worth the price at that time!" Lei Tianyu's eyes were deep, as if he could see through the future situation.

Lei Yiming said admiringly: "Grandmaster, this is a great idea."

"Are there any clues on how to create a spiritual pet with a powerful soul?" Lei Tianyu asked casually.

Lei Yiming quickly responded: "I did find one, but..."

Lei Tianyu was surprised to hear the news so quickly, but seeing Lei Yiming hesitated to speak, he thought he was concerned about the other party's identity. "Speak."

Lei Yiming then spoke: "The other party is a demon cultivator, currently at the third realm strength."

Lei Tianyu's eyes were stern, and he gave a decisive order: "Catch him to the mountain, and send him off in three years."
