Chapter 68 The Second Soul Extraction Target

After the breakthrough, Lu Changjing, a man with ambition and hard work, did not slack off but continued to practice and improve himself. After he had stabilized his cultivation level, he began to forge the fifth spiritual vein.

As long as you break through the bottleneck and accumulate enough imperial true qi, the difficulty of forging spiritual veins will be much easier. It mainly requires enough time and energy, and of course various resources.

Xiao Yaoxin is worthy of being the daughter of Medicine King Valley. She brought a full food box of spiritual medicine when she came to enjoy imported delicacies for the first time.

Lu Changjing was a bit greedy and ate it all up without leaving any.

Xiao Yaoxin didn't even eat one tenth of it, the rest were killed by him.

If he wasn't in a strong enough physique, he would have exploded by now.

By the time all the medicinal power was digested, several hours had passed and the fifth spiritual vein had been half-forged. One can imagine the amazing medicinal power contained in those spiritual medicines.

Of course, because the improvement was too fast and too much, the foundation became weak and there was a vague feeling of being out of control.

Fortunately, midnight arrived soon, and his physical condition improved again. The saying "a big tree with deep roots" played a role in time, helping him consolidate his shaky foundation and become solid again.

However, the subsequent adaptation will definitely take a lot of time and cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

Other warriors improve too much at once and often need to spend a lot of time consolidating their foundation, so the adaptation time can be ignored in comparison.

But Lu Changjing was the complete opposite.

It was easy for him to consolidate his foundation, and he didn't need to take any additional panaceas.

However, the time required to adapt is much longer than that required to consolidate the foundation, which is also the special feature of his practice.

Before he could adapt to the sudden increase in his Qi Refining skills, the second soul-picking hook was conceived by Lu Changjing.

Thanks to the minor level of soul-picking technique, the soul-picking hook he had just conceived could already be used, but he still planned to polish it before using it.

While polishing the second Soul-Picking Hook, you can also nurture the third Soul-Picking Hook, and neither will be delayed.

Only one Soul-Picking Hook can be bred at a time, otherwise Lu Changjing would have bred multiple Soul-Picking Hooks at the same time instead of one by one.

The higher the level of the soul-picking technique, the more powerful the soul-picking hook produced.

If the power of the soul-picking hook created by the entry-level soul-picking technique is 1, the power of the soul-picking hook created by the soul-picking technique at the minor level will reach over 3.

Although the power of the Soul-Picking Hook can continue to increase after it is bred, its power is also limited by the level of the Soul-Picking Technique and cannot exceed the level of the Soul-Picking Technique.

Currently, his soul-picking technique has just reached minor success, so the soul-picking hook can only be upgraded to minor success level at most. However, it will still be no problem to use it to deal with warriors with similar spiritual power as him.

Even if someone is stronger than him in spiritual power, there is still a chance to take him down, but of course this requires careful planning.

The second person to be soul-picked was still not Cao Wen Zheng, for the simple reason that Cao Wen Zheng was a grandmaster.

Although according to Cao Xiuyuan, his true spiritual cultivation has reached the first-order master level, he is protected by a high-level spiritual weapon.

In addition, his Qi training level is high enough to weaken and resist various mental attacks, so the chance of being able to pick up the soul is not high.

Rather than risking the soul of Cao Wen Zheng, it is better to take away a wisp of Cai Gu's three souls and seven spirits. Cai Gu is Cao Wen Zheng's deputy, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and currently the only commander.

The other deputy commander was seriously injured in the conflict with the Demon Suppression Division and there was no possibility of recovery, so Cai Gu was the only deputy commander.

His strength has reached the level of a sixth-level grandmaster, and he is not far from becoming a seventh-level grandmaster, firmly surpassing Cao Xiuyuan.

But Cao Xiuyuan's spiritual weapon is more powerful than his, so it is not certain who will win or lose if they really fight.

Although he is a mid-level grandmaster, Cai Gu's overall strength is not inferior to that of an average high-level grandmaster thanks to his equipment and various trump cards.

Because Cao Wenzhen had a lot of things to do during this period, and he was also the chief eunuch, most of the affairs of the Jinyiwei were handled by Cai Gu.

As long as Cai Gu can be captured, it basically means that most of the Jinyiwei have been captured, which is extremely beneficial for Lu Changjing to understand Cao Wenzhen's movements.

Originally, Lu Changjing wanted to take down the deputy chief eunuch. After all, this eunuch was in charge of most of the eunuchs in the palace and was the most powerful eunuch after Cao Wenzhen.

There are a large number of eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace, many of whom are responsible for monitoring his movements. If they can be captured, it will be extremely helpful to Lu Changjing's safety.

However, considering that the Jinyiwei can not only monitor the officials of the dynasty, but also monitor the eunuchs and maids in the palace, Lu Changjing feels that it would be more useful to capture Cai Gu.

Cai Gu's status was also higher than that of the two deputy eunuchs in the palace, and he was able to restrain them.

The most important thing is that the Jinyiwei commanded by Cai Gu is a military agency that is in no way inferior to the Jinwuwei, and may even be more powerful.

As long as Cao Wenzhen could be killed, Cai Gu could immediately take over his power and become the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

By then, with the Jinwu Guard and the Jinyi Guard under his control, Lu Changjing's safety in the palace will be greatly guaranteed.

The Jinyiwei was not one of the thirty-six guards guarding Baiyujing, but an independent organization with power and influence far greater than any other of the thirty-six guards.

After making the decision, Lu Changjing spent more time improving and polishing the Soul-Picking Hook, while looking for opportunities to capture Cai Gu.

A few days later, he had almost finished polishing the second soul-picking hook, and it was time to get started.

It just so happened that Cao Wenzhen left Baiyujing these two days and went to a nearby city to discuss some shameful deal with a top demon king. He was not in Baiyujing, which was a perfect time for Lu Changjing to take action.

That evening, while most of the eunuchs and palace maids were eating, Cao Xiuyuan tricked Cai Gu into the imperial study.

"That junior of Chief Steward Cai has made great contributions this year. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to be promoted several levels this time."

"Your Majesty was also greatly surprised when he read the memorial below, especially when he learned that he was the junior of Chief Steward Cai, he was even more surprised."

"I am honored to have your Majesty's attention. At least I can get a copy of the book."

……

Cai Gu was delighted to hear Cao Xiuyuan's flattery from outside, and said, "Commander Cao, you are too kind. If only our young man could have half of Commander Cao's ability, we would be satisfied."

Cao Xiuyuan tricked the official-obsessed Cai Gu into coming here under the pretext that the emperor wanted to confer titles on his descendants, and it didn't take much effort.
