Wang Lin's eyes were cold as he pointed at the air. The lion's soul trembled and turned into a ray of black light. It flew into the soul flag in Shi San's hand and disappeared.
"This beast is not bad. It can be the main soul of your ten-soul flag!
However, you have to remember that there are no tricks in the soul refining spell. Although you sealed this beast, it still tried to devour you. This is a lesson for you! "After saying this, Wang Lin turned and walked into the depths of the valley.
Shi San's face was filled with shame as he looked at the soul flag in his hand and began to ponder.
Time passed quickly. A month passed in the blink of an eye. The men in the valley were fully armed and hurriedly left the valley in the middle of the night, where they couldn't even see their own fingers.
Ouyang Hua and Shi San were the main attackers. They led the tribe to the underground cave.
Wang Lin didn't follow; he didn't even spread out his divine sense. This was a trial. If these people failed, it meant they weren't suitable. Wang Lin would leave and go to Ancient Demon City to develop elsewhere.
Five days later, Wang Lin was cultivating in the depths of the valley. He slowly opened his eyes and looked into the distance. It didn't take long before a loud noise came from the distance. He saw a long line of people slowly approaching from the small path outside the valley.
This long line was made up of people from other races with fear on their faces. There were men and women among them, and all of them were in the prime of their lives. Their hands were tied with ropes, and they were in groups of seven. Each group carried a round log that was as thick as a bucket, and their hands were tied to the logs as they slowly moved forward.
Ouyang Hua walked in the front. His clothes were covered in blood, and although he looked haggard, there was excitement in his eyes.
Around this long line of people, the people who were going into the valley followed them one after another. If there were any outsiders who walked too slowly, they would go up and scold them.
Shi San walked at the back of the line. His temperament was completely different from before. At this moment, he was no longer arrogant but more calm. His face was filled with determination.
As he walked, there were several people following him. However, these people all kept their distance from him, and there was even a flash of reverence in their eyes.
In this battle, Shi San could be said to be in the limelight, especially with his cooperation with Ouyang Hua. They successfully bypassed the enemy's formation and directly entered, catching them off guard.
Shi San had immediately summoned the lion primary soul to devour the opposing elder. Then, in front of all the outsiders, he directly used the Soul Refining Technique to refine the soul of the opposing elder who had just died and sealed it in the soul streamer.
At the same time, Ouyang Hua was not slow either. He used the Soul Refining Art to refine and seal the souls of those who died in this battle.
This scene dealt a heavy blow to all the outsiders!
The long line quickly arrived outside the valley. After leading all the outsiders into the valley, the women in the valley immediately took out wooden buckets from their houses.
There was a green liquid inside the buckets, and there were some bubbles coming out of the liquid, giving off an unpleasant smell.
Every outsider was forced to drink a few mouthfuls of the green liquid. After drinking, their eyes immediately became filled with confusion. Shortly after, the people in the valley took them away and whispered something into their ears.
When Wang Lin saw this with his divine sense, he didn't find it strange at all. In Lou Yun's memories, his ancestor had explained in detail that there was only one way for the scattered tribes to absorb new members, and that was to drink a bowl of Demonic Expelling Soup!
The effect of the Demonic Expelling Soup was to make them forget everything. Then someone would whisper into their ears about the new name of the tribe. Once they had completely absorbed it, they would become a member of the tribe once they awakened.
From Wang Lin's point of view, there was nothing special about this Demonic Expelling Soup. It was too different from spells like the Demonic Expelling Soup.
If a cultivator drank this Demonic Expelling Soup, it would have almost no effect.
Ouyang Hua immediately rushed toward where Wang Lin was. When he was still far away, he stopped and respectfully said, "Junior Ouyang Hua requests an audience with Upper Celestial."
After obtaining Wang Lin's permission, Ouyang Hua immediately calmed down and respectfully walked into the depths of the valley. From afar, he saw Wang Lin sitting there in the lotus position.
He arrived before Wang Lin, took out an item, and respectfully said, "Upper Celestial, this is a demon crystal Junior found in their tribe. I'm here to give it to Upper Celestial!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he waved his right hand. The item in Ouyang Hua's hand flew into Wang Lin's hand. He took a closer look and found that there was nothing special about it. It was like a black stone with a rough appearance.
Wang Lin squeezed his right hand and a cracking sound echoed. The black stone immediately shattered, revealing a thumb-sized demon crystal!
"Two armor demon crystal!" Wang Lin held the demon crystal. After looking at it a few times, he lit a stick of incense!
Ouyang Hua didn't look around. He lowered his head and remained silent. His expression was still respectful.
After the demon crystal was lit, it immediately fused with the demon crystal in Wang Lin's dantian, becoming a five armor demon crystal!
Wang Lin looked at Ouyang Hua and took out a piece of jade. After scanning it with his divine sense, he threw it at Ouyang Hua and calmly said, "You only have the first three parts of the soul refining spell. Unless you perform a meritorious deed, I won't give you the rest. Give me your demon crystal and perform a meritorious deed. I'll give you the fourth part of the soul refining spell. Cultivate it well and don't teach it to others, or else I'll get it back!"
Ouyang Hua forcefully suppressed the ecstasy on his face. After receiving the jade slip, he quickly nodded and immediately left.
After he left, Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he muttered to himself, "It looks like this step was the right one. As the tribe in this valley becomes stronger and devours the surrounding area, I'll be able to obtain more demon crystals. In addition, the more people there are in this valley, the more people there will cultivate the soul refining spell. The day I recover the one-billion-soul soul flag will be closer!"
Right now, Wang Lin was nurturing his soul!
As long as Wang Lin needed it, all the sealed souls of those who cultivated the soul refining spell would become his with just a thought.
Finally, when the time was right, Wang Lin would collect the souls. At that time, the one-billion-soul soul flag would be able to see the light of day again!
The number of people in the valley suddenly increased by several times. There were now more than 50 males. The females of the other tribes were divided up. A few of the more beautiful ones were given to Wang Lin by Ouyang Hua, who wanted to perform a meritorious deed.
Unfortunately, he was given the cold shoulder this time.
The new tribe members also began to cultivate the soul refining spell. The entire valley was filled with a wave of cultivation.
Aside from those who went out to hunt every day, most of the tribe members were focused on cultivating.
There were even some females who secretly cultivated the spell. Originally, Ouyang Hua was against the idea of females cultivating, but after being scolded by Wang Lin, he immediately changed his mind and strongly encouraged females to cultivate.
As a result, aside from the children, everyone in the valley, regardless of gender, began to cultivate like crazy.
The soul refining spell was easy to learn. Adding on the strength of Shi San and Ouyang Hua, it immediately became everyone's dream.
Time quietly passed. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. During this half a year, the people of the valley would often go out. Every time they went out, it would be one person or a group. Their goal was to create their own soul flag or to kill wild beasts and refine their souls.
In this half a year, aside from Shi San, there were four other people who had reached the third stage and needed to create a soul flag.
The people of the valley already knew of Wang Lin's rule. Only by performing a meritorious deed would they receive the chant for the next stage, and there were only three ways to do so!
First, hand over the Demon Crystals!
Second, find the traces of outsiders!
The third was to rely on one's own ability to refine ten Ten Soul Banners that were filled with souls. Furthermore, at least four of the ten Ten Soul Banners contained primary souls.
If you met one of these three requirements, you would be given the chant for the fourth stage by Wang Lin. As for the chant for the fifth stage, the requirements were even stricter.
So far, only Ouyang Hua had met the requirements and obtained the chant for the fourth stage.
Even Shi San had only refined seven soul flags. The most difficult part was the primary soul. With his strength, he only had two primary souls.
The second primary soul was the elder from the underground cave from half a year ago!
As a result, the call to attack other tribes became even stronger. Only by attacking other tribes could one obtain demon crystals, primary souls, and a large amount of soul fragments.
It has to be said that Ouyang Hua's words from back then came true. Every 5,000 years, outsiders would descend, and they would bring endless bloodshed to the Demon Spirit Land.
Due to the arrival of Wang Lin, the originally peaceful life in the valley became one filled with aggression. In order to obtain a stronger chant, they wanted to start a massacre.
As the clamor grew louder and louder, half a year later, a new expedition began!
This time, all the members of the tribe, regardless of gender, aside from those who stayed behind to take care of the children, came out in full force. They didn't all attack one place, but split into three groups to attack three tribes at the same time.
This was the only way to satisfy their needs. Otherwise, if they all attacked one place, they wouldn't be able to split the demon crystals and primary souls evenly!
No one in the Demon Spirit Land noticed that such a force was growing, and no one would pay attention to these savage tribes.
Almost none of the outsiders chose to stay in the tribe like Wang Lin. They all went to different countries and obtained different identities. For military merits, for the ancient demon, they began a slaughter that would last for 500 years!
"Thank you everyone for your monthly votes. Seeing these monthly votes makes my ears feel like they've drunk Fu Yan Jie. Today, I'll definitely do it!
"In addition, I want to talk about tomorrow's goal. The book above has a cute, pink, and naughty little chrysanthemum. Just looking at it makes my heart itch. I want to reach out and touch it to see how tender and juicy it is. Fellow cultivators, please help me. I want to poke that cute little pink chrysanthemum with my finger!
"Popping the chrysanthemum is a bit difficult, but if I poke it, it should be possible, hehe.
