Chapter 104 Soul Searching Technique

Fang Ping's reply was not unexpected for Gu Yun.

Gu Yun knew that from the moment the soul's memories existed, the Soul Searching Technique would inevitably be researched and created by someone, but what he wanted was more than that.

"Elder Fang, if one were to perform a soul search on oneself and read one's own soul memories, would it be possible to indirectly achieve photographic memory, or to the point that one would never forget something once experienced?"

"To perform a soul search on oneself...?"

Gu Yun's unconventional insights left Fang Ping somewhat speechless.

"I don't quite understand what Master Gu means? Why would he want to perform a soul search on me?"

"If one only wants to have a photographic memory, the higher one's life rank and the higher one's soul level, the more proficient one is in controlling one's body and soul, and that is basically the state of having a photographic memory."

"Is it because demons have no souls that you demons easily lose your memories?"

"No no no!"

Gu Yun shook his head and explained further.

"Mr. Fang, you misunderstand. It's not that demons have no soul and are prone to losing their memories; it has nothing to do with me."

"As for your point that this kind of photographic memory is a false state, I don't agree. That's because they haven't encountered anything beyond their memory's control."

"Indeed, as cultivation level increases, memory threshold naturally increases, which is normal. But there is always an upper limit. If something exceeds this limit, it will be difficult for us to remember it."

Upon hearing Gu Yun's words, Fang Ping fell into deep thought.

Although it's unclear what Gu Yun was referring to, judging from his tone, it must be someone close to him who encountered this problem, which is likely his contractor.

As for whether Gu Yun himself possesses a soul?

Fang Ping would basically not consider it. He had studied the soul for decades or even centuries and had seen countless demons and gods. No matter what channel he used, there was only one conclusion.

Demons and gods have no soul.

This kind of thinking only exists in the minds of newbies who have just entered the industry.

After a moment of contemplation, Fang Ping offered his own insights.

"If it is indeed necessary to find out what one has forgotten through the soul, it is theoretically feasible to use the soul-searching technique on oneself, because it is searching one's own soul, so it can achieve the ideal state of 100% openness."

"When people talk about opening their souls to others for soul searching, even if they are sincere, they can only achieve more than 90% success rate. The human body's objective instincts will inevitably provide some resistance."

"As for performing a soul search on oneself, the side effects are negligible."

"As for the side effects of the Soul Searching Technique itself..."

"Let me put it this way, the principle of the Soul Searching Technique is actually quite abstract and easy to understand. It's like first opening up the body, and then using a 'fishing net' to dredge it up. This 'fishing net' can filter out other unwanted things, and what you dredge up is the carrier of memories."

"Self-examination can avoid disemboweling, but... fish that are caught multiple times will enter a brief state of oxygen deprivation, and in severe cases may even suffocate to death, let alone their fragile souls."

"This is the inherent harm of the Soul Searching Technique."

Gu Yun silently gave Fang Ping a thumbs up for his straightforward explanation, though honestly, he wasn't particularly talented in this area.

If you really explain some professional terms or theories to him, he can ponder them for a long time.

It's best to avoid the inherent damage from Soul Searching Technique if possible.

If I were to use it myself, I would definitely use it many times.

Even if one's soul is special, it shouldn't be wasted like this.

"Is there a way to mark a memory so that it can be retrieved separately when needed?"

After considering the feasibility of Gu Yun's proposed plan, Fang Ping nodded and said...

"Soul-marking techniques do exist..."

"However, as Gu Moshi said, if it is only for specific memories, there should not be such a function in the existing soul arts, because such a function has no practical meaning, but it is not that it is difficult."

"Let me try it first, see if I can improve the soul-searching technique I have."

"It allows it to mark a specific memory, enabling targeted memory retrieval at any time."

"Theoretically, it is possible."

A glint flashed in Gu Yun's eyes.

Although there was no overly exaggerated expression in his appearance.

But I was already overjoyed.

If this can be achieved, it will be a qualitative change in one's assimilation power!

I was just mentioning it casually.

Surprisingly, it actually worked!

Gu Yun quickly stood up and thanked Fang Ping.

"Thank you very much, Professor Fang. If it is feasible, it will be of great help to me. If there is anything I can do to help in the future, please let me know."

Fang Ping laughed heartily twice, then gestured downwards with his hand, indicating that Gu Yun didn't need to be so polite and could simply sit down and talk.

"Not at all, not at all. It was only a small matter for Master Gu to resolve my long-standing inner conflict and adjust and improve a soul technique. Besides, it's not some problem that has plagued the industry for years. It's just that it has no practical use, which is why no one is interested in it."

then.

The two then discussed their respective insights on the soul, and both benefited greatly from the conversation.

Until the knocking on the door interrupted them.

Having learned many secrets about the soul from the upper realms, Fang Ping was in a great mood today and transmitted his voice in a lighthearted tone.

"Quick, come in, come in."

The knocking stopped abruptly, and after a moment of silence, the door creaked open.

The woman who had led him up earlier was the one who entered.

The look of surprise that had appeared on the woman's face had not yet completely faded.

but.

Can't blame her.

In her memory, under normal circumstances, if Master Fang were to be interrupted by a knock on the door while he was talking to someone, he would definitely be displeased and show anger on his face.

Because most of the messages delivered by knocking on the door were from people who came to visit without an appointment.

Fang Ping naturally didn't have a good impression of this type of person.

If the person who suddenly visits is of low status, she might even take her anger out on her and say a few words to her.

She had worked here for several years and had never seen Fang Ping so kind and approachable.

She glanced curiously again at the man in black sitting in the reception room, chatting and laughing with Fang Ping.

It's really him!

He's so young!

Could it also be...?

Although many possibilities came to mind.

However, the woman greeting the guests did not linger too long, or rather, she dared not linger.

In a daze, he immediately bowed inward and reported softly.

Because the person waiting downstairs is quite influential!

She didn't know that.

But she had to know who was visiting at that moment!

"Master Fang, the Crown Prince Wan Xingchen of the Canglan Royal Family requests to disturb you for a moment."
