Chapter 27 The Second Main Soul

After figuring out the source of the merit, Lu Yan's original worry disappeared instantly, and was replaced by irrepressible joy.

The merit of stripping a zombie's soul is not much, it can even be called insignificant, but there are so many zombies in this apocalyptic version!
You have to know that he has only slaughtered a little over 10,000 zombies in these days, but he was able to gain so much merit, which helped him to refine the prototype of the golden elixir magical power, the Xuanhuang Merit Fire.

If he kills 100,000 or 1 million zombies in the future, how much merit can he accumulate in his body? Can he cultivate the complete Xuanhuang Merit Fire before the Golden Core Stage?
Just thinking about it is enough to make people terrified.

Not to mention that those wandering zombies that have left their bodies are excellent materials for refining soul flags and nurturing resentful souls.

Lu Yan could already see that a road of dawn was waving at him.

Picking up the soul flag again, Lu Yan let the ghost fog devour the two wandering zombie souls.

At this time, he had reached the third level of Qi training. With the Xuanhuang Merit Fire to suppress the resentful souls, Lu Yan no longer needed to allocate part of his magic power to suppress the Top-grade Soul Banner to prevent backlash, and could easily control this magical weapon.

The only concern is that it takes a certain amount of magic power to keep the resentful souls in the outside world. After all, Lu Yan's magic power cannot be compared with those cultivators in the late and peak stages of Qi training, and he cannot release all the ghosts in the soul flag for a long time.

Lu Yan tested the resentful souls by releasing them one by one. Twenty-seven resentful souls were the limit of what he could sustain under normal circumstances. No matter how many more souls he had, the recovery speed of his mana could not keep up with the consumption speed of the Soul Control Banner, and he had to rely on spirit stones to replenish it.

But for Lu Yan, it was enough. Twenty-seven resentful souls comparable to the second level of Qi training were enough to sweep across the outer urban area.

In comparison, what needs more attention is the speed at which the Soul Banner can refine wandering souls.

Under the sunshine, Lu Yan walked out of the abandoned building again and began to explore and hunt outside.

With the help of the Xuanhuang Merit Fire, Lu Yan seemed to be assisted by God.

No longer having to worry about the resistance from the resentful souls, Lu Yan began to clean up the surrounding areas.

During the day, Lu Yan avoided the areas where the top-level Qi training zombies and the foundation-building zombie kings existed, and instead started with the scattered zombies outside.

Although the speed will be slower, it is more stable.

During this process, Lu Yan discovered that his zombie hunting behavior had formed a self-circulating system.

Lu Yan stripped the wandering zombies of their souls to gain merit, and the wandering zombies used the soul flags to refine them. The merit gained could feed back into the magical power of the Xuanhuang Merit Fire, suppressing the rapidly increasing number of resentful souls in the soul flag.

Under this system, Lu Yan's strength growth is almost all-round and will no longer be restricted by the backlash of resentful spirits.

At night, Lu Yan did not waste the moonlight and spiritual energy to practice and strengthen his soul.

In the apocalyptic version, it is difficult for Nene to break through the middle stage of Qi training, but absorbing and exhaling the moonlight spiritual energy can lay a solid foundation for his subsequent advancement.

Once his cultivation reaches the peak of Qi training and begins to nurture the soul and give birth to divine consciousness, the moonlight aura that strengthens the soul will bring countless benefits to Lu Yan.

In the evening, they cleaned up an abandoned shopping mall again. There were more than a thousand zombies in the mall. After a successful sacrifice, they transformed thirteen resentful souls for Lu Yan.

Lu Yan unfolded the soul flag, and a large number of resentful souls gathered on the flag. The majestic and gloomy ghost energy continued to spread from the soul flag.

The thirteen resentful souls that had just completed the ritual were integrated into the banner. Without any mana to suppress them or any cultivation to hold them back, the instinct of resentment in their hearts made them want to launch a counterattack.

Before Lu Yan could react, the other resentful souls in the soul flag took action first.

A large number of resentful souls rushed towards the thirteen resentful souls, and the two sides fought each other, which made the resentful souls who originally wanted to retaliate completely confused. As ghosts refined by magic tools, they were born with negative emotions. Things like betrayal and backlash were just commonplace. They never thought that they would be beaten up by other resentful souls because of betrayal.

The patterns on the banner kept changing, and the original resentful souls within the soul banner clearly gained the upper hand, and soon all of them were suppressed.

After doing all this, the resentful souls looked at Lu Yan one after another with flattering smiles on their faces.

The resentful souls have almost no intelligence, so it is impossible for them to react like this. However, these days, Lu Yan would take out the Xuanhuang Merit Fire when he had nothing to do, and randomly select two disobedient resentful souls to roast them.

During this week, more than three resentful souls have been killed by the Xuanhuang Merit Fire.

In the face of this life-and-death crisis, surrender and flattery have become the instinct for survival.

Faced with the actions of these resentful souls, Lu Yan did not say a word. He pinched his hands together and a mysterious yellow fire of merit ignited in the void.

A week ago, the Xuanhuang Merit Fire in Lu Yan's hand was only a finger-sized flame, which could barely be called the embryonic form of a magical power.

But now the Xuanhuang Merit Fire is already as big as half a fist. Both the flame that drives away evil and exterminates demons and the majestic and righteous aura emanating from it have increased significantly.

However, Lu Yan had never used the Xuanhuang Merit Fire to fight an enemy, and he was not sure about the limit of this magical power, but his ability to suppress these resentful souls became increasingly powerful.

Lu Yan clenched his five fingers to take back the Xuanhuang Merit Fire. He glanced at the thirteen resentful souls that had just joined the Soul Banner. At this moment, their faces showed the same fear as their predecessors, which made Lu Yan very satisfied.

In the past week, Lu Yan spent almost all his time hunting and sleeping, and cleared nearly 10,000 zombies.

Excluding the losses and some traitors who were killed to scare the monkeys, there are already 231 resentful souls accumulated in Lu Yan's soul flag, which is double the number compared to a week ago.

Lu Yan could clearly feel that this number had reached the upper limit of the top-grade magic weapon Soul Banner.

Perhaps the person who created the Soul Banner did not expect that someone could collect so many resentful souls at the stage of a top-grade magical weapon.

If you want the Soul Banner to accommodate more resentful souls, there is only one way, and that is to upgrade the grade of the Soul Banner.

The Hundred Souls Banner upgrades the top-grade magic weapon to the ultimate level!
In fact, judging from the number of resentful souls in the soul flag alone, the number has already exceeded one hundred.

The reason why the soul flag failed to be promoted was because the strong man who was the main soul was only in the middle stage of Qi training, which was far from enough to support the promotion of this soul flag.

Lu Yan needs more and stronger main souls!

"It's time to hunt the leader-level zombies who are at the peak of Qi training."

Lu Yan muttered to himself softly, then took a look at the sky. It would take about two hours before it was completely dark.

"enough."

Lu Yan held the soul flag in his hand, and resentful souls gradually emerged around him. Ghost fog began to spread in all directions and engulfed an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

The direction Lu Yan was heading towards was exactly the residential area where the apocalyptic version had just arrived.
