Chapter 189 Consuming the essence of heaven and earth, nourishing the vital energy of all people! The ultimate spiritual cultivation method! [Please subscribe]

After the Technology Chamber of Commerce acquired the right to issue new Soul Coins, taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the Soul Power Milk Bottle's crazy explosion of gold coins from other Soul Master factions, the Technology Chamber of Commerce began to hoard Gold Soul Coins and issue paper money Soul Coins at a dynamic ratio of 1 Gold Soul Coin = 500 New Soul Coins (equivalent to the current purchasing power).

The Soul Coins of the Technology Chamber of Commerce are a type of paper money intricately engraved with various Martial Soul patterns. Made of a very special material by Chen Hong, they require a high level of technical expertise. Only Title Douluos have the capability to counterfeit them in the short term, but large-scale replication is beyond the reach of any other force besides the Technology Chamber of Commerce. Furthermore, Title Douluos are generally "not interested in money," so Chen Hong isn't worried about them misbehaving. Even if they did, the individual printing speed of a Title Douluo might not even match the output per minute of a single workshop within the Technology Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, such shameless behavior should still be resisted.

Soto City, the headquarters of the Technology Chamber of Commerce. Half a month has passed since the last conversation. The Technology Chamber of Commerce is developing rapidly in all aspects. Chen Hong has finally absorbed all the faith turbulence above Soto City and extracted three drops of spiritual essence, which he gave to Ning Quan and Chen Lin respectively.

Both were shocked when they absorbed the spiritual essence, but neither said much, choosing to bury this secret deep in their hearts forever. There are many things in this world that can accelerate the cultivation of soul power, so although Ning Lu's soul wine is very precious, it is not something that established sects would covet.

However, there are very few things in this world that can increase mental strength, and among those rare things, the growth in mental strength is very slow. For example, Tang San's Purple Demon Eye cultivation technique, or the meditation methods of other sects, all have a very slow cultivation speed.

However, Ning Quan, Chen Lin, and others did not have a direct experience with Chen Hong's spiritual essence, so they could only feel that it was very precious, but they could not say exactly how precious it was.

If the two of them, including Chen Hong himself, had enough knowledge about the spiritual essence, they would discover that the spiritual essence extracted from the turbulent flow of faith is the world's top spiritual cultivation method!

Since it is the most advanced spiritual cultivation method, it must have a very fatal limitation: it is extremely expensive!

Just like Tang San's Purple Demon Eye, its cultivation is limited to the wisp of purple aura rising from the east at dawn each day; it cannot be cultivated at other times, although the cultivation speed is relatively fast. On the other hand, various meditation methods within a certain old sect can be cultivated at any time of day, but the cost is that the cultivation speed is extremely slow.

Chen Hong's ultimate "Qi-eating method," which consumes the essence of heaven and earth and the vital energy of all people, has terrifying effects, but its limitations are even more terrifying.

First, you need the terrifying spiritual insight to perceive the turbulent currents of faith; second, you need a sufficiently large and densely populated group to support you. The latter can be achieved by spending money, but the former usually involves an inexplicable relationship with deities.

"Hoo Tang San and the others are back?" Chen Hong, who was meditating and cultivating the Qi Absorption Technique in a quiet courtyard in Soto City, suddenly opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction of the city. Just now, he sensed a relatively strong and unfamiliar 'spiritual aura' appearing in his spiritual perception field.

While practicing the Qi Absorption Technique, Chen Hong accidentally discovered that in Soto City, his spiritual power could be extended very far, even with the help of the weak spiritual force field formed by hundreds of thousands of living beings in the city (Chen Hong's "Draft Data on Spiritual Research" - Weak Spiritual Force Field: The spiritual turbulence scattered by living beings will spontaneously form a weak spiritual field. When this weak spiritual field is dense enough, it will form a brand new weak spiritual force field, just like the faint light that keeps flickering in the darkness eventually forming a perfect and harmonious picture), bringing the entire Soto City into his perception range.

Of course, this borrowing of the weak spiritual energy field formed by all living beings has a prerequisite: the spiritual fluctuations of the "borrower" cannot cause resistance from those weak spiritual energy fields that are as thin as a thread. In other words, Chen Hong's spiritual power must be welcomed by the weak spiritual energy fields of most people in the city in order for him to "swim" in the weak spiritual energy field.

The method currently being tested to prevent the weak mental energy fields of the masses from rejecting Chen Hong's mental attributes seems to be to maintain gratitude, appreciation, and faith in Chen Hong, or in things closely related to him, which has a bit of the feel of a shallow believer.

"Fine, let them come back. They'll come looking for me sooner or later anyway." Chen Hong's eyes flickered a few times, but he ultimately gave up the impulse to go directly to Tang San and the others.

He has recently begun to shift his research focus, emphasizing the relationship between his martial spirit, mental strength, and soul.

"Kelly, how much longer do you need to finish writing?" Chen Hong banished Tang San Xiaowu from his mind, then turned to look at the pond on the other side of the courtyard, where a beautiful mermaid girl was biting her pen and lying on the rocks with a worried expression.

"Ugh! Don't rush me! Don't rush me! I've never worked this hard before!" Mermaid Kelly bit off the pen tip with all her might, clutching her head in a frantic expression.

"I shouldn't have said anything about repaying you! And according to the normal script, when I said I had nothing to repay you with, shouldn't you have immediately said I should repay you with my body, and then I would reply that I'd be your slave in the next life and then leave gracefully! Ugh!"

The mermaid Kelly looked extremely pained. When The Hague and the others left, Chen Hong asked Kelly if she was willing to return to the sea with them.

If Kelly is willing to leave, Chen Hong might ask Ning Quan to help escort her to prevent his "merit of releasing animals" from being accidentally ruined.

But for some reason, Kelly told Chen Hong that she was worried about those despicable humans in The Hague.

Chen Hong replied that he would have Ning Quan help follow along.

Then Kelly thought for a moment, and since things seemed much safer now, she put on a dramatic act and said to Chen Hong in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Since my benefactor has already made a foolproof plan for me and saved me from this predicament, I have no way to repay him."

In Kelly the Mermaid's plan, she just wanted to tease Chen Hong and then turn around and run away.

It's no wonder that such a mischievous nature makes it easy for humans to capture.

However, Chen Hong wasn't teased as Kelly had imagined. Instead, a look of serious thought flashed in his eyes, and he said to Kelly:

"If you really want to repay me, then do me a favor that's easy for you."

"ah???"

Write down your knowledge of sea spirit beasts for me.
