Chapter 48: Spirit Soldier Embryo (Please read! Please read!)
Mo Yanqiu stepped forward and took off the armor one by one and put it aside.

Then throw the human skin skeleton out of the Yunding chessboard.

Zhou Qingshan lay in the chair and waited for a while.

However, the information about obtaining the 'Essence' did not come to my mind. I opened the chess piece panel and saw that the Essence column was still two.

It doesn't make sense...

Previously, a human-ghost at the blood coagulation level condensed an essence.

Could it be that too much time has passed, so the essence has dissipated?

After a moment of thought, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Big loss!"

Zhou Qingshan lamented in his heart.

This is a human ghost who has begun to forge his bones at the level of a strongman. Even if his flesh and blood are hollowed out, he can still be as powerful as the alien beast, the human-faced bear.

According to common sense, at least three essences should be able to be extracted.

Together with the two essences now, there are five essences in total, which is enough for him to try to upgrade the chessboard again.

However, in the thick fog of Xipanling at that time, he was worried about the armor worn by the ghost, so he failed to strip off the armor and throw it off the chessboard immediately.

"Forget it, it's not a loss to have this armor." Zhou Qingshan comforted himself.

There are currently two uses for essence. One is to recruit chess pieces, and the other is to upgrade the Genting chessboard.

Moreover, the cost of simply recruiting chess pieces is very low. Both he and Mo Yanqiu only used one essence each. Before new uses were discovered, it was not actually that scarce.

At this time, Mo Yanqiu thought of something and took out a black round stone from his arms:
"Oh, my dear, this thing seems to have been left to us by the scarlet four-eyed giant bird."

Zhou Qingshan immediately became interested. He took the black round stone from Mo Yanqiu's hand and placed it in his palm.

The giant four-eyed bird was estimated to be a hundred feet in size, and with that magical flame, such an existence was extraordinary no matter how you looked at it.

Zhou Qingshan gently stroked the dark round stone. The surface of the round stone was smooth and the texture was hard, but it unexpectedly emitted a warm heat.

The warmth of the pebble gradually spread, as if it had life and was responding to his palm.

"What is that? Is it the legendary monster?" Zhou Qingshan asked curiously.

Mo Yanqiu shook his head and said, "What came out of your sea of ​​consciousness is most likely a spiritual weapon, and it is not an ordinary spiritual weapon."

She is now more knowledgeable than Zhou Qingshan.

The masters and chiefs in the martial arts hall are all military commanders that ordinary people will never see in their lifetime.

The transformed spirit soldiers were running rampant in the martial arts hall, and the student had to be careful in dealing with them, but the spirit soldiers were as small as house cats and as large as lions and tigers.

When it comes to a hundred-foot spiritual weapon, only the city lord's 'Lord Blood Drinker' can be compared to it.

Although size is not the only criterion for measuring combat power.

But a hundred-foot spiritual weapon can ignore ordinary spiritual weapons just by its size. After all, at that size, ordinary attacks are like a mosquito bite to it, which does not hurt at all.

"Spiritual soldiers?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qingshan's eyes flashed with disbelief and shock: "You mean, that giant bird is actually a spiritual weapon?!"

He had indeed never seen a spiritual weapon. He had only heard of the power of spiritual weapons and how domineering the weapons were, but he had never thought that spiritual weapons could be living things.

Mo Yanqiu nodded: "I have seen City Lord Xu's spiritual weapon in the martial arts hall. The Blood Drinking Blade is a peerless spiritual weapon born from the weapons and blood of thousands of troops! And Lord Blood Drinking's true form is a hundred-foot-long dragon!"

"It likes to eat refined iron and can swallow and spit out spiritual material black iron. The Zhenyue Spear is mixed with a little black iron."

Refined iron turns into black iron? What's the difference between this and just vomiting treasure essence?
Zhou Qingshan knew about black iron, which was a top-grade spiritual material of the first grade. A fist-sized piece would weigh three hundred kilograms. If a craftsman could purify it, it would be the main material for making "black soldiers". A low-grade black soldier would be worth at least three thousand treasure yuan.

"Every spiritual soldier has such ability?" He was stunned.

Mo Yanqiu explained:

"That's not the case. Spirit weapons have different characteristics. In addition to being able to transform warriors' blood into weapon energy, their bodies also have their own unique features. Some can swallow and spit out other metals, some can swallow and spit out strange gems, some can make spiritual medicine grow tenfold with their saliva, some can put a mark on weapons to ward off evil spirits, some can purify water sources... some are quite useless."

The family of spiritual weapons relies on the characteristics of the spiritual weapons in their family.

Whether it is raising spiritual fish, planting spiritual seeds and spiritual medicines, raising spiritual beasts, or forging weapons and refining elixirs, every spiritual weapon family has its own pillar foundation.

For example, the Nine Lotus Blood Grass is a specialty of Shengfeng Territory. Only a few rural spiritual realms can grow it, but there is a great demand for it among warriors, not to mention the monopoly business of the Lingbing Family, which makes huge profits.

"Spiritual soldiers are a fighting force, but I didn't expect they also have such a terrifying productivity..."

Zhou Qingshan looked down at the black round stone in his hand that had been emitting warmth, as if thinking about something. He had a hunch that this thing might be the biggest gain of this trip.

Powerful military force can only prevent a family from being destroyed by external forces. Unjust conquests will lead to the rapid demise of the family and will not last long. Only the resources derived from spiritual weapons can ensure the prosperity of a spiritual family for a hundred years.

Thinking of the hundred-foot-tall bird, and having seen its vast power, how could one not be fascinated? Zhou Qingshan carefully picked up the pitch-black round stone and said excitedly:

"Do you think it is the spiritual weapon? I can feel that there seems to be life beating in it!"

Mo Yanqiu squatted down and stared at the black round stone, with a thoughtful look on his face:
"I have never seen a spirit weapon of this form, but it gives me a very kind and familiar feeling, a feeling that I can't describe..."

After a pause, she thought for a moment and continued, "It's like the feeling of being connected by blood when I signed a magical contract with the young master."

Zhou Qingshan boldly made a guess: "Is it possible that this is the initial form of the spirit weapon? Or is it the infancy stage?"

Mo Yanqiu looked at him and poured a bucket of cold water on him: "Young Master, spiritual weapons are incredible weapons born from the spirit, and there is no such thing as an infancy."

"There is a saying about the embryo of a spirit weapon. That is the state of a spirit weapon before it transforms. It is ignited and awakened by the fire of the warrior's will - this is called raising a soldier. It is the innate spirit weapon of the first generation of the soldier master, and it can grow together with the warrior."

The ultimate goal of a warrior is to forge a spiritual weapon that is unique to him.

Only in this way can you continue to climb the path of martial arts. Otherwise, without spiritual weapons as the foundation, you can only stop at the warrior level in this life!

After all, the human body has its limits...

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Zhou Qingshan's eyes, but his curiosity did not diminish.

He gently stroked the surface of the dark round stone, feeling the warm and rhythmic beating, as if it was conducting some kind of mysterious communication with him.

"Listen... there is really life growing in it." He placed the black round stone next to Mo Yanqiu's ear.

Mo Yanqiu leaned down, put his ear gently close to the black round stone in Zhou Qingshan's hand, and listened attentively.

Pfft!Pfft!
The steady and powerful beating sound came clearly to her ears through the cobblestones.

"Click."

At this moment, accompanied by a crisp sound, a tiny crack suddenly appeared in the black round stone.
