24. Zhu Lingwu's Innate Ability
The previous article also mentioned that poor literature and wealthy martial arts are not something that ordinary poor families can afford.
(One of the three no-receipts of the disciples of Ye Wen Wen, a generation of Wing Chun master, was the so-called three meals that would not be accepted.)
Just talking about the muscle and bone skin exercises of external martial arts, you need enough food and nutrition to supplement your body's consumption. Otherwise, you will not be able to eat enough food and lose your hands and feet. Not to mention muscle and bone skin exercises, you will have no money to treat if you suffer a minor scratch or skin injury during body exercises.
This is still the most basic requirement. Other auxiliary drugs used to improve physical fitness need to be purchased at a high price.
During these days, Zhu Lingwu not only absorbs current and practices the Nine-Turn Thunder Body Rumor every day, but also takes medicine, bathing, etc., for the condensation of the external body.
This method was also prepared by Liu Ping instructed his servants to prepare for Zhu Lingwu. The medicinal soup used for bathing is also a secret prescription from the Liu Ping family. It can help Zhu Lingwu regulate his body and help Zhu Lingwu's body merge with the current that inhales into the body.
Speaking of which, the prices of medicinal materials used in this prescription are also not low. The medicinal materials consumed every day are enough to make ordinary people live for two or three months.
For example, the Red Flame Mysterious Art practiced by Liu Ping, the medicinal materials containing fire essence that he swallowed were also expensive. The price of some hundred-year-old medicinal materials is enough for ordinary people to live for ten years and eight years.
The Baghdad battery used by Zhu Lingwu to practice the Nine-Turn Thunder Body Ruins Technique does not seem to be simple, but each Baghdad battery requires a large amount of sour fruit to squeeze juice.
Zhu Lingwu needs to consume several Baghdad batteries for his practice every day, so I don’t know how much the sour fruit cost of making Baghdad batteries is.
Therefore, most of the acquired martial arts practitioners are from poor landlords and are considered middle-class people under the aristocratic family. If they are ordinary common people, they can only exercise their bodies and bones, but they do not have the financial resources to practice in depth.
Even poor landlords may not be able to fully support the cost of martial arts practice. Only martial arts families like Liu Ping will specially train their family children, but they have to rely on the aristocratic family to obtain financial support.
But there are still many acquired martial arts practitioners who can only find various ways to make money in the later stage, just like these adventurers who came to Tongshan County.
Fortunately, Zhu Lingwu is a child of a gentry, and his father is extremely fond of him, so he gives him a lot of money autonomy, so he doesn't have to worry about money.
However, Zhu Lingwu purchased spiritual beasts not entirely to practice the Nine-Turn Thunder Body Technique, but to prepare for his own qi refining. What he values is the innate spiritual power in the spiritual beasts.
Zhu Lingwu found that a ability he possessed in his previous life seemed to have become his talent and ability now.
When Zhu Lingwu was originally a lich in his own world, he was pitiful, and he only knew two basic abilities, such as the legendary undead magic, he had never seen it before, so he naturally wouldn't.
The most important of Zhu Lingwu’s so-called two basic abilities is the most professional "soul-summoning technique" of the lich.
To put it bluntly, there is nothing mysterious about this. In fact, it is to rely on one's own powerful soul power to capture and absorb wandering souls that are weaker than one's own soul power, and then erase the original consciousness of the wandering soul, inject its own consciousness, and turn it into its own sub-soul.
These sub-souls can also be released like wandering souls. With the connection between souls, they can help themselves to achieve remote monitoring like eyes and ears.
As for whether these sub-souls can condense their bones and become common skeleton soldiers in novels, they seem to be unable to do so if they lack soul power. To be honest, if they want to turn a page of books, they can make their souls disappear, that is, they just hide from the strong light and wander in the dark.
As a result, in the end, this ability was to help condense Zhu Lingwu's soul power and add a useless ability to peep at a distance.
This kind of sub-soul is like the split body of Zhu Lingwu's soul. It is absolutely controlled by Zhu Lingwu. It can also transform the main consciousness body when necessary. When Zhu Lingwu's main soul is damaged, it can also use the sub-soul to survive.
In legend, the main soul of the Lich is hidden in the life box, and controls the puppet body through the sub soul, and walks in the human world. As long as the main soul is immortal, the Lich will never die. Perhaps this is the principle.
However, this is Zhu Lingwu's theoretical research. Zhu Lingwu was unable to conduct the experiment. Perhaps it was because he had been a lich for too short, and the soul power of the main soul was insufficient, let alone the sub-soul.
Zhu Lingwu's only benefit from using this ability in the original world is to make money in the casino. Those who play dice or cards can win as long as they can see the opponent's trump card. For him, it is to give him money, and the others are meaningless for the time being.
Now Zhu Lingwu's soul power is still a bit weaker than his previous life. He was struck by lightning and then captured his body, which dissipated a lot. There was only one soul he controlled, which was the original eight-year-old doll's soul.
But this ability has made Zhu Lingwu much more than ordinary people. At least now, Zhu Lingwu’s help in practicing acquired martial arts skills is naturally self-evident.
Now, Zhu Lingwu was very happy to discover that another ability he once possessed was inherited to this brand new body with his soul memory.
This ability is also the special ability that Zhu Lingwu can hide in human society in the original world and keep his body from corrupting.
At the beginning, this ability made Zhu Lingwu think that he was a blood-sucking zombie, not a lich.
That's right, this is the special ability to absorb fresh blood and convert it into the vitality required by your own body, thereby maintaining the dead body without corruption.
However, Zhu Lingwu gradually discovered that his body did not become stalemate like the legendary zombies, nor did he have any invulnerability or even a mutation of flying into the sky.
Sucking blood can only keep Zhu Lingwu's body from corrupting, and his body looks a little pale, but it can still make him pretend to be like a normal person and live in human society.
Of course, normal male functions are not good, and the various organs in the body have long lost their function, the heart will not be beating, and the movements are slightly slower.
It is precisely because Zhu Lingwu judged that he was a lich, not a blood-sucking zombie.
Now that he has come to this world, Zhu Lingwu thought that he could only retain the "soul-summoning technique" at most, relying on the soul power he could control, absorb the soul thoughts traveling in the city, and then capture those wandering souls whose soul power is weaker than him.
But after Zhu Lingwu officially started practicing the Nine-Turn Thunder Body Rewarding Technique, the first few times were normal. Liu Ping just prepared a medicine soup for him to take a bath, and then he finished practicing one day.
