Shi Ling looked at the exquisite gift box, pointed at his nose and said, "For me?"
Lin Yue's face was a little red. She nodded and said, "I made the pastries inside. I made them myself."
Shi Ling's eyes twitched when he saw her expression. He said, "Why are you giving this to me for no reason?"
Lin Yue's beautiful eyes stared at Shi Ling and said, "Do you want it, or not?"
Shi Ling could only obediently accept it. Seeing that Shi Ling accepted it, Lin Yue said happily, "This is the first time I've done it."
She turned around and ran away, leaving behind the confused Shi Ling. He looked at the gift box in his hand, then glanced at Lin Yue, who ran away. He scratched the back of his head with one hand, then turned around and left.
After leaving the Garden Pavilion, Bai Xiaosheng flew out. He looked at the gift box in Shi Ling's hands and said unhappily: "I really don't understand what's so good about a lecherous person like you. Why are women so popular? From time to time, beautiful girls will send you gifts. "
Shi Ling chuckled, but didn't say anything. He immediately opened the gift box, but immediately, a burnt smell wafted into Shi Ling's nose.
Afterwards, Shi Ling and Bai Xiaosheng saw a black charred object inside the gift box that occasionally gave off a soul-shaking smell.
When Shi Ling and Bai Xiaosheng saw this scene, they were both stunned and swallowed their saliva. Bai Xiaosheng said with uncertainty: "This thing can really be eaten?"
Shi Ling coughed dryly and said, "After all, this is the first time I'm making pastries, so it's understandable that I'm not good at cooking."
Saying that, Shi Ling put the things back into the Storage Ring and said: "We'll talk about this later. Let's go out of Spirit Sword Sect for now."
After he finished speaking, Shi Ling walked in the direction of the mountain gate. Very quickly, Shi Ling came out of his Spirit Sword Sect and walked on a quiet small path. At the same time, he had the mission jade plate in his hands.
Their mission this time was to head to a place called "Guqiao Village", and capture a ghost cultivator there who had caused trouble for the world.
Shi Ling muttered: "Guqiao Village? Isn't that place at the border with Changyuan City? There's actually a ghost cultivator causing trouble there? "
Bai Xiaosheng, who was beside Shi Ling, said, "Who knows, we'll talk about it when we get there."
Shi Ling nodded and quickly headed towards his destination. With Shi Ling's cultivation at the peak of the Body Tempering realm, it only took him six hours to reach his destination.
The villagers were all dressed in tattered clothes, and looked like beggars. It was no wonder that no one from the Changyuan City would be willing to help them, and, walking on this street, one would occasionally hear the sound of someone crying in grief.
Shi Ling said as he walked: "According to the quest jade plate, this kind of ghost cultivator relies mainly on absorbing the Yang energy from the human body to cultivate. His strength is around the Large Success stage of the Spirit Accumulation realm."
After Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he said: "If it's only the Spirit Accumulation realm, then there's nothing to worry about. But we still have to be wary of other unforeseen events."
Shi Ling nodded and then heard Bai Xiaosheng continue, "Ghost cultivators usually choose the full moon before coming out, and there are still two days until the full moon. Can we train here for a while?"
Shi Ling said, "Here?" "Are you sure?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and flew to the front. He said, "Come with me."
Shi Ling naturally followed him. Soon, a person and a book were handed out of the village and they entered a cemetery. Shi Ling said with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing here?"
Bai Xiaosheng said, "I brought you here to catch the Spiritual Source."
Shi Ling looked around and said: "Here?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "What is a Spiritual Source? Frankly speaking, it is a kind of energy body left behind after death. People call it a soul."
Then, a three-dimensional projection appeared in front of Shi Ling. Shi Ling saw an old man lying on the bed, dying, and then he died. Then, a white light ray flew out from his body.
Bai Xiaosheng said, "The white light source is the soul. The human body belongs to both Yin and Yang. After the body dies, the positive side will no longer exist and the negative side will leave the body, calling it a soul."
Then, the projection continued, and the soul flew out from the old man's body, quickly flying into the sky. As it flew, it began to split apart, as if cells were splitting, creating many small light sources.
Bai Xiaosheng continued, "This small light source is called Life Time, or longevity. In the cultivation world, we call it soul source."
The flying soul flew straight into the sky, and the other small soul sources behind it followed closely behind. However, when the soul flew to a certain height, a time and space channel appeared in front of it and took it away. As for the small soul source, it was unable to enter that time and space channel.
Bai Xiaosheng continued, "That space-time channel is the Reincarnation Reincarnation Dao. Through it, the soul can be reincarnated, and the Life Time will be designated anew."
"Actually, in this world, every single person's Life Time has been planned. However, not many people can actually live to see the designated Life Time, and there are too many variables among them, some people might have had Life Time for eighty years, but they would have passed away before they were fifty years old, so it is impossible for those extra soul sources to enter the path of reincarnation along with their souls. So they can only stay in this world."
Shi Ling once again saw the projection. Those souls that couldn't enter the Samsara Daos flew back into the ground, looking for places where they could live from their previous lives.
Bai Xiaosheng continued, "After the soul source enters the underground space, it will get nourishment from the underground spiritual energy and eventually form the Spiritual Source that our cultivator requires!"
After saying that, Bai Xiaosheng's book body abruptly closed and flew up into the air. He said to Shi Ling, "Do you know why I brought you here now?"
Shi Ling nodded his head in acknowledgement, he already had a rough understanding of the origin of Spiritual Source, but then he asked in confusion: "How many soul sources do you think those newly dead souls will split before they enter the path of Samsara?"
Bai Xiaosheng explained: "That depends on how many Life Time this person has left. If he still hasn't lived for thirty years, then he will have divided himself into thirty souls. If twenty years of Life Time haven't lived for twenty years, then they will split into twenty souls."
Shi Ling let out a long 'oh', but then asked: "Then how long do you need to stay underground before your soul origin can become a Spiritual Source? Don't expect me to catch a half finished product and bring it back. "
Bai Xiaosheng said, "This depends on the density of the spiritual energy buried under the corpse. If the spiritual energy is sufficient, it can form a Spiritual Source in less than a year. But if the spiritual energy is scarce, it would take three to five years."
Shi Ling exclaimed and said: "Then how can I tell which one is usable?"
Bai Xiaosheng said, "Look at the color! During the process of the soul source turning into a Spiritual Source, the green color will gradually cover it. If you can see that there is a white part at the center of the Spiritual Source, then it cannot be used. "
Shi Ling finally understood after hearing it.
