Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

Chapter 4 Deception and Return

"Did you really hear him say the words pure soul?" the lion-like middle-aged man asked sharply.

Lu Jing looked confused and frightened, and confirmed in a timid voice: "I did hear the necromancer say that one of the slaves had a pure soul and wanted to accept him as a disciple..."

If the necromancer is not attractive enough, then the "pure soul" Lu Jing does not believe that the top leaders of the Holy See of Light will not take the bait.

Of course, the necromancer and his last life as a slave in the world of Panlong are both real, but the "pure soul" is fake.

Fortunately, even the most adept necromancers in the Panlong World can only perform 'Soul Search' when they reach the level of a holy magician.

At least in a short period of time, his lies will not be exposed.

After a long while, Staler, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "I have seen your loyalty to the Lord of Light and the Holy See. The Lord is generous and kind to His devout believers. If you have any requests you can make now, it is land." , manor or gold coins, as long as it does not exceed a certain limit, I will satisfy you."

Lu Jing said cautiously: "Praise Your Excellency, your kindness will be spread throughout the kingdom. I just want to accept the holy baptism and become a loyal warrior of the Lord!"

Holy baptism?

Stroler's cold eyes fluctuated a little, and then he squeezed out a stiff smile: "Okay, since you are so loyal to the Lord, I will naturally fulfill your piety. You can go down first, and the church will prepare it for you. Good place to live, remember, not a word of what you say here today is allowed to be spread outside."

Lu Jing exited the hall full of surprises. The surprise was not all fake. Even though he had already prepared a plan and thought of many ways to deal with it, he never expected that he would achieve his goal so smoothly.

The so-called 'sacred baptism' is actually not that mysterious. It is actually a quick method to stimulate fighting spirit within the Holy Legion of the Kingdom of Hess.

There are generally only three ways to practice the Secret Code of Fighting Qi in the Magnolia Continent. One is the Secret Code of Fighting Qi passed down from noble families, one is obtained from the Warrior Academy, and the other is to join the army and hope to be taught the Secret Code of Fighting Qi.

There are good and bad Dou Qi secret codes in the army, and the worse ones are the methods that damage the body's potential and forcibly stimulate Dou Qi.

For example, the 'Holy Baptism' of the Holy Legion of the Kingdom of Hess.

Apply some kind of secret holy oil to the skin of the whole body, swallow the blood of the purple-striped one-horned python, and then use the stimulation method in the secret code of fighting energy. Even a first-level warrior can quickly stimulate a ray of fighting energy to rival a third-level warrior.

This is the information Lu Jing got from the memory fragments of his original body. There are many soldiers in the Holy Legion who have received the reward of 'Holy Baptism' for their merits.

However, those who can use this method to quickly cultivate fighting spirit can only reach the level of a sixth-level warrior. It is almost impossible to break through the seventh level. It can be regarded as a method to create an intermediate-level warrior in a short time.

Lu Jing came to Panlong World this time and had limited time. He could only find this quick and unsophisticated way to improve his strength. Otherwise, with his talent, even if he was given the best fighting spirit secret book, he would not be able to advance from a first-level warrior to a third-level warrior. It is almost impossible to achieve this level without a few years.

Even if most people are lucky enough to obtain the Dou Qi Secret Code, without a large amount of resources, they may not be able to reach the sixth level warrior after practicing for a lifetime. Geniuses are always in the minority.

……

After Lu Jing exited the hall, the lion-like middle-aged man said with a suspicious look on his face: "Sir, this kid's words always seem to be somewhat untrue. Even if there is a necromancer, how could he, a slave, know about it by chance? So many things? How could he escape knowing so many things?
Do you really believe that there is not only a necromancer hidden in the noble mansion of Blood Orchid City, but also a person with a pure soul who was accepted as a disciple by the necromancer?I have lived in the Kingdom of Hess for hundreds of years and I have never heard that the Holy See has discovered a person with a pure soul. "

Hearing the questions from his close subordinates, the silver-short-haired Stetler, whose stern face was as cold as a spring water, smiled like spring water. He laughed in the middle-aged man's astonished eyes and said, "I believe it, why don't you believe it?"

"grown ups……"

"People with pure souls are automatically sent to your door. Why don't I believe it?"

"Send... to your door..." The middle-aged man said in shock: "Sir, do you mean the low-level soldier named Sean just now?"

"Of course!" A smile appeared at the corner of Stroler's lips: "As soon as he entered the hall, I discovered that his soul was as pure as the radiance of the gods, a candlelight in the darkness. His soul was so pure that I'm afraid the Vatican would count him There may not be anyone who can compare with those who have sacrificed for thousands of years."

The lion-like middle-aged man was a little excited: "Then... if we add the disciples of the undead magician, wouldn't we discover two people with pure souls at once?"

Apart from faith, what the Lord of Light values ​​most is sacrificing people with pure souls. However, if faith is good, people with pure souls are extremely rare. Anyone who discovers and brings people with pure souls back to the Holy Island will receive extremely generous gifts. .

As a confidant of Stadler, the middle-aged man can naturally benefit from a lot of benefits.

"It's just strange that Bishop West has been in the Holy Legion. He is a ninth-level magician. That low-level warrior named Sean has been joining the Legion for several years. How come he has never discovered that his soul is special?"

Steller heard his subordinate's question and sneered: "Hmph, that fool has always been arrogant and disdainful of dealing with the weak. He probably has never inspected the legion and has never performed his duties. This time I will definitely accuse him of dereliction of duty when I return to the Holy City. Neglecting the Lord’s cause.”

Stroler felt extremely happy, bringing back two people with pure souls at once. Such an achievement would definitely bring him one step closer to the Holy Realm.

"Necromancers are rare in number and have extremely high requirements for mental strength and other qualifications. They can usually reach the level of magister or above. Some preparations must be made before taking action."

Stroh thought to himself that even though he thought he had few opponents in the Holy Realm, he did not dare to underestimate a necromancer, and he was not prepared to share the credit with other strong men in the Holy See unless he had to.

"I'll leave it to you, Sean. Please keep it secret and don't let others know. You can give him the Holy Oil of 'Holy Baptism' and the Secret Code of Fighting Qi. Humph, he was born a slave after all, so that's all he has ambitions for. Before dedicating Grant his wish before offering it to the Lord of Light."

"Yes, don't worry, my lord."

……

In a secret room under the church, Lu Jing didn't pay attention to the obvious move to imprison him. He had no intention of escaping.

A glass bottle was held in his hand.

In the center of the bottle, translucent oil lay quietly there, showing a semi-solidified state.

It is the necessary holy oil for 'Holy Baptism', an ointment prepared from a secret formula only in the hands of the Holy See of Light.

Of course, Lu Jing believes that the Dark Holy See must also have corresponding dark water and the like, and even the imperial armies such as the Magnolia Empire and the O'Brien Empire should have similar things.

It is nothing more than stimulating life potential, or burning life energy so that you can sense and absorb the pure elements of heaven and earth in a short period of time and condense them into fighting spirit. This is why it is rumored that 'sacred baptism' damages the potential of warriors and makes it almost impossible to break through to the seventh level. level reasons.

Holy oil itself is not precious, what is precious is the formula.

However, Lu Jing didn't care about the formula of the holy oil. The formula was only meaningful to big forces and had no meaning to individuals.

He gently put his finger into the bottle and took out a little holy oil.

The cold soon turned to hot.

A bit of strange power began to penetrate into the skin and spread. The 'Holy Baptism' needs to last for several days. Lu Jing knows that his time is limited. Of course, it is not the time of his arrival, but the time of Stroler's arrival. Once the Holy See of Light attacks the undead magician hiding in Blood Orchid City, his lies will will be exposed.

He looked at a small cup of dark red viscous blood on the side. It was the blood of the purple-striped one-horned python, a level four monster that matched with the 'Holy Baptism'. There were also a few pieces of parchment, which was the fighting spirit that matched with the 'Holy Baptism'. Secret book.

let's start!

Lu Jing adjusted his breathing, picked up the cup of purple-striped one-horned python's blood, raised his head and swallowed it in one gulp.

……

Dark Alliance, Kingdom of Rune, in a manor in Bloodland City.

An old man in black robes, with a pale face and burgundy eyes, frowned slightly and looked at the middle-aged man in Chinese robes who was standing in front of him: "The quality of the souls of this batch of slaves is too poor."

The middle-aged man in Chinese robes said respectfully with a wry smile: "Sir, how can those people with pure souls you mentioned be so easy to meet? Even if they do, how can they be among these lowly slaves?"

The old man in black robe snorted coldly, and secretly resented in his heart: "If it weren't for my soul that was injured, how could I not be able to recover for more than ten years? Unfortunately, if it weren't for the inexplicable death of the slave with a pure soul who was accidentally discovered ten years ago, even My soul has disappeared without a trace, and most of my injuries have been healed long ago.”

"This batch of purchased slaves is too few. Who do I want?"

The burgundy eyes of the old man in black robes suddenly burst out with a dark light, and he hurriedly faced the miserable sword light that seemed to be pierced from the darkness.

With the appearance of the sword light, a chill instantly filled the entire manor.

……

In an underground secret room of the Church of Light in Hess City, Lu Jing was sitting naked on the ground, with light yellow translucent grease covering his body, as if there were mice squirming under his skin.

Lu Jing, who was in a haze, sensed countless cyan light spots floating around under the blessing of a strange power.

Wind element!
Joy arose in Lu Jing's consciousness.

Dou Qi in the Panlong World also has attributes. The warriors who possess the Dou Qi Secret Book practice Dou Qi by absorbing the elements between heaven and earth and refining them into Dou Qi within their bodies.

Not long after sensing the stroke elements of heaven and earth, Lu Jing absorbed some of the elements of heaven and earth and condensed a thin ray of fighting spirit under the operation of the secret code of fighting spirit. Fighting energy circulated throughout the body, causing bursts of pain and heat wherever it passed. Slow enhancement.

Lu Jing opened his eyes and wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. After sitting there for five days, except for eating and taking care of himself, he practiced hard, and he finally developed his fighting spirit.

Without the 'Holy Baptism', even a powerful warrior who could reach level [-], [-] or even [-] with his physical body would still need at least half a month to cultivate his fighting spirit.

His body is too weak. He only has the physique of a first-level warrior and cannot absorb more elements of heaven and earth. If it were not for the stimulation of the holy oil and the short-term strengthening of the body by the blood of the purple-striped one-horned python of the fourth-level monster, he would not even be able to absorb more elements of heaven and earth. It cannot be absorbed, let alone refined and turned into fighting spirit.

After putting on his clothes, Lu Jing took advantage of the effects of the purple-striped one-horned python's blood and holy oil that had not completely faded away. He was still seizing the time to continuously absorb the elements of heaven and earth to strengthen his fighting spirit. After half a day of this, Lu Jing's expression suddenly changed. He sensed a powerful energy approaching the secret room quickly.

A loud bang!
The metal door was smashed open and fell heavily to the ground.

Stroller, who had short silver hair like a steel needle and cold eyes with a hint of anger and disbelief, walked into the secret room.

"How dare you, a lowly slave, lie to me?!"

As the most outstanding genius of the Holy See of Light and a ninth-level peak warrior at a young age, Stroler could not believe that the ant-like soldier in front of him dared to deceive himself.

Even if this lowly man had the purest soul, Stroe vowed to teach him a lesson before taking him to the Holy Island.

Lu Jing sighed in his heart and had no time to continue practicing.

Staler was about to continue questioning when he suddenly saw the low-level warrior named Sean bowing to him gracefully without any fear on his face, accompanied by a chuckle.

"Thank you, Mr. Stroler, maybe we will meet again in the future."

Before he finished speaking, his body shrank instantly, and before Stetler could react, only a piece of light skin was left, as if even the bones had disappeared.

Only the ninth-level peak warrior who was dumbfounded and then turned livid was left.

A roar resounded throughout the Church of Light.

……

Heyun City, in a bedroom on the fifth floor of an old residential building.

In the silent darkness, Lu Jing, whose body was shriveled and severely shrunk, opened his eyes. In an instant, two electric lights illuminated the quiet dark space.

In just an instant, a wave of heat from the mysterious door in my mind spread throughout my body.

The warrior named Sean who was possessed by the Panlong World had all his muscles, bones, and strength turned into a strange pure energy, and that wisp of fighting spirit was transformed into a majestic heat flow injected into him. body.

Then, Lu Jing felt that everything around him slowed down.

In the darkness, floating dust and microorganisms, the breathing of other nearby residents, the dull heartbeat, and the friction of clothes, every sound reached his ears clearly and slowly.

It was as if the whole world had slowed down.

The muscles in the body sometimes contract and sometimes relax. With repeated back and forth, the muscles become more slender and tough. The body that originally expanded from shriveled to strong quickly lost weight, and the whole body became lighter.

Lu Jing clenched his fists in surprise and waved forward slightly, and strong air currents ripped through the room like a strong wind.

"This……"

There is no equipment around that can calculate the force, but Lu Jing roughly estimates that his punch force at this time should be four to five tons!
"High-level warrior! At least the power of a high-level warrior!"

Lu Jing caressed the door-shaped birthmark on his chest that once again changed from bright red to light purple. Overnight, he was upgraded from an ordinary person who was far behind a warrior to at least the level of a high-level warrior!

This mysterious gate through the world does have terrifying abilities!
