The materials required to upgrade the Soul Palace from level one to level two are ten times that of upgrading from the prototype to level one, and there are four more materials that were not previously available.
"One thousand kilograms of shadow stone, one thousand kilograms of ghost stone, five hundred pieces of Nether Pill sunken wood, and three hundred kilograms of deep sea black gold."
These four materials are not easy to find, and deep-sea black gold is more precious because it is found in the deep sea.
The other three materials are rarely used in Douluo Continent, so they rarely appear in the buying and selling market.
"Just take your time collecting them. There's no rush anyway."
Xiao Mu put the matter of upgrading the Soul Palace aside for the time being.
"It's a good opportunity to try out the amplifying effect of a first-level soul palace on cultivation."
As soon as he entered the meditative state, Xiao Mu felt that the speed of his soul power circulation was a little faster, and the speed of soul power accumulation was also about 30% faster.
After practicing all night, in the early morning, Xiao Mu's aura suddenly became stronger.
He slowly opened his eyes: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. After practicing for a whole night, my soul power broke through to level 40."
This is not because the Soul Palace has a very good effect on enhancing cultivation. After Xiao Mu took the Soul-Breaking Pill, his soul power reached level 38.
In addition, he later took a Condensed Dew Soul Gathering Pill. The main function of this pill is to enhance the power of the soul, but the side effect still allowed his soul power to increase by one level.
Coupled with his own practice, and taking advantage of the increased speed of his practice last night, it is not surprising that he broke through the level 40 mark.
"I have to find time to obtain the fourth spirit ring."
After pushing open the door of the training room, Xiao Mu walked in for a while before seeing Ye Lingling cleaning the hall.
Huo Yuan was responsible for this kind of thing at the beginning. When Dugu Yan joined the Soul Palace, this glorious and arduous task was handed over to her.
When good sister Ye Lingling also came, the job was shared by the two of them. It seemed that it was Ye Lingling's turn today.
"Lingling, come with me first."
"Ah? Oh, no, it's the Palace Master."
In an instant, Ye Lingling changed several answers.
She had joined the Soul Palace for several days, but she had spoken to Xiao Mu only a few times, let alone spent time alone with him.
Like Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling was also full of curiosity and awe towards Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu brought Ye Lingling to the main hall of the Heavenly Palace. He pointed at the very conspicuous stone tablet in the hall and said to Ye Lingling:
"Put your hand on that stone tablet."
"Okay, I obey your command."
As the eldest daughter of the Ye family, she was not used to her status as a subordinate for a while.
Although she didn't know why Xiao Mu asked her to do this, she just did it.
This was also the secret of serving the Palace Master personally that her younger sister Dugu Yan taught her. No matter what the Palace Master said, just do as he said. There would only be benefits and no harm.
As soon as she placed her hand on the stone tablet, she felt dizzy, as if she had entered another time and space.
Xiao Mu crossed his arms across his chest and observed Ye Lingling's situation.
A few minutes later, Ye Lingling finally came back to her senses from her trance.
"How is it? What skills did you obtain?"
This stone tablet is the Soul Palace's stele for passing on skills, and it contains a large number of soul cultivation techniques and attack methods.
Originally, Xiao Mu planned to compile several basic soul cultivation techniques based on his understanding of "Emperor Soul Art" for future disciples of the Soul Palace to use.
As a disciple of the Soul Palace, you cannot do without cultivating your soul.
Unexpectedly, there was an inscription on the transmission of skills in the Heavenly Palace, which could match the appropriate skills for the disciples who came into contact with it, saving Xiao Mu a lot of trouble.
Ye Lingling was stunned for a moment before answering, "I obtained a technique called the Battle Soul Art."
"oh?"
Xiao Mu roughly knew what kinds of skills were contained in the stele.
After all, it is a first-level soul palace's power transmission tablet, and the soul skills contained in it are all the most basic. Compared with the "Emperor Soul Art", it is an insult to the "Emperor Soul Art".
What surprised Xiao Mu was that what Ye Lingling got was actually a soul technique that was more inclined towards combat.
"This soul cultivation method is quite good. If you practice it seriously, it can make up for the lack of attack power of your Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul."
"Okay, thank you, Master."
What Yanyan said was indeed right. It is beneficial to listen to the Palace Master.
He just touched the stone tablet and actually got a set of exercises.
Ye Lingling was a little excited. Her martial soul, Nine-Hearted Begonia, was an auxiliary martial soul, but which auxiliary didn't have an offensive heart?
Haha, I will have the ability to attack in the future, and maybe Yanyan will not be my opponent.
Ye Lingling thought happily in her heart.
"Go and call all the Celestial Lords and Dharma Protectors."
"Ah? Okay, I'll go right away. Uh... As you command, Palace Master."
Xiao Mu smiled and shook his head. Ye Lingling was usually quite quiet, and Xiao Mu didn't notice that she was a little confused.
After a while, except for Dugu Bo who was guarding the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire alone, the three Heavenly Masters and two guardians of the Soul Palace arrived.
"Palace Master."
This was the first time that Xiao Mu formally invited them to meet him after the establishment of the Soul Palace.
"You should have heard Lingling say this by now. Each of you should find a soul technique from the Transmission Monument and practice it."
As the Celestial Lord and Protector of the Soul Palace, he must know one or two of the Soul Palace's unique skills so that people can tell at a glance that someone from the Soul Palace has arrived.
Ye Lingyun whispered to Ye Lingling:
"Why didn't you tell us on the way?"
"Ah?" Ye Lingling lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "The Palace Master didn't give me any instructions, so I didn't know I could say it."
"You kid, you did the right thing. You have to be more cautious when dealing with matters instructed by the Palace Master."
Ye Lingyun felt that Ye Lingling's secretive personality made her very suitable for serving Xiao Mu personally.
It was not difficult to obtain the skills from the stele. After a while, several people each obtained a soul cultivation skill, and some even obtained one or two soul skills, real soul combat skills, not the soul skills that came with the soul ring.
With the soul strength of their Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo, even if they have not yet started to cultivate their souls, there is no problem in using ordinary "soul skills".
"There is such an exquisite soul cultivation technique? Thank you, Palace Master, for the reward." Qian Qiusui bowed and said.
Zhan Kaishan glanced at him.
Wow, this guy is so polite and gentle, he can even flatter me better than me... No, he truly respects the Palace Master sincerely.
Although it is a basic soul practice, it is indeed magical to those of them who have never been exposed to it before.
Especially for those Super Douluo, it is very likely that they can learn by analogy through soul cultivation and improve their soul power.
"Ziqi, from today on, you must announce that the Soul Palace is recruiting disciples." Xiao Mu instructed Yang Ziqi and then said to Qian Qiusui:
"Old con man, come with me to Sunset Forest."
"Yes, Palace Master."
Zhan Kaishan's heart skipped a beat.
In the past, the Palace Master basically took him with him wherever he went, but now he takes this guy named Qian with him. Has he fallen out of favor?
It seems that even if I live again, I have to practice hard. I have to take back the position of the Great Heavenly Venerable and win the attention of the Palace Master.
Xiao Mu didn't know that Zhan Kaishan, this rough man, actually had such little thoughts.
The reason why he went to Sunset Forest to obtain the fourth soul ring with Qian Qiusui was very simple. He was the last one to arrive, and Xiao Mu also wanted to get more familiar with his abilities so that it would be more convenient to arrange things for him in the future.
They are all the Soul Palace's cattle and horses, and they all have to work hard for them.
