Although there are a lot of high-quality items in tonight's auction, only three or four of them are top-notch spiritual items, and none of them are currently used by Shi Chishang.
He was flipping through the roster, and several items had been auctioned outside. Although they were not top-notch, those who came to participate tonight were not considered to be the top figures in the cultivation world. Most of them were middle- and low-level cultivators, so they naturally flocked to them.
Seeing the ninth item on the auction block, Yu Lewei, who had been lazy and uninterested, suddenly brightened her eyes, subconsciously sat up straight, and asked in surprise: "Is there still this thing tonight?"
Shi Chishang was startled, looked up outside, and then looked at the roster in his hand. The item for sale at this moment was a charm called a good luck charm. As the name suggests, it can provide people with good luck.
With a puff, Shi Chishang laughed sadly and said, "Is there such a thing?"
"This is a good thing!" Yu Lewei leaned forward and said happily, "It can provide people with good luck for about 3 seconds. Although the time is relatively short, there will be side effects of about ten minutes later, but for you, This is definitely good stuff.”
Shi Chishang didn't understand and asked doubtfully, "How do you say that?"
"Well, I went to Xuanyuan Yun this afternoon just to prepare something for you. If I add this talisman, I will be even more sure."
Although he didn't understand, Shi Chishang nodded. Yu Lewei wouldn't harm him anyway, just watch him obediently.
While the two were talking, An Hong had already introduced this good luck charm. The starting price was ten pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones.
"Twelve dollars!"
"Fourteen dollars!"
"Eighteen dollars!"
Seeing the price gradually rising, Shi Chishang and Yu Lewei were not in a hurry. Until the speed and range of the quotations gradually slowed down, Yu Lewei pondered for a moment and said, "Forty-eight yuan!"
The price quoted by the previous person was thirty-eight yuan. Unexpectedly, Shi Chishang added ten yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones in one breath, and the venue fell silent.
Although the Good Luck Talisman has a 3-second increase in luck, the side effect is a drop in luck for more than ten minutes, so not many people are willing to take action. I originally thought that thirty-eight middle-grade spiritual stones would be enough, but I didn't expect that someone would do it. Out to forty-eight yuan.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one continued to quote, An Hong asked three times in a row and finally hammered down the deal to confirm it.
Soon, the waiter came over with the good luck charm, and Yu Lewei paid forty-eight pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones to get the good luck charm in her hand.
After the waiter left, Shi Chishang couldn't help but ask: "Senior, what is the use of this thing?"
"I was planning to tell you," Yu Lewei cleared her throat and said with a smile, "In addition to our own strong combat power, our greatest ability as Ghost Dao practitioners is to control the soul, so every Ghost Dao practitioner , they will control a certain number of ghosts to help them fight."
"In ancient times and even in the prehistoric period, there were many powerful people in the human world. At that time, there were many ghosts in the human world and their strength was also very strong. However, since ancient times, the ghosts in the human world are not only scarce in number, but also pitifully weak in strength. We ghosts If Tao practitioners want to control ghosts, most of them have to go to the ghost world to capture them."
"But we ghost practitioners are still human bodies after all, and cannot withstand the long-term erosion of ghost energy, so our ancestors at that time invented a set of formations that can cross boundaries and summon ghosts to the ghost world."
"This kind of cross-border summoning is purely based on luck. If you are lucky, you will summon a ghost that just suits you. If you are unlucky, you will either only summon low-level ghosts such as form ghosts and wandering ghosts, or you will summon extremely powerful ghosts. The ghosts not only cost themselves their own lives, they also caused ghosts to harm the world."
Shi Chishang understood and glanced at the good luck talisman: "So, senior, do you want me to use this talisman and then use the formation to summon ghosts?"
"That's right!" Yu Lewei smiled with a thumbs up, "With this talisman, you can definitely summon a ghost that suits you. Although the talisman has side effects, I am here to find the one that suits you. The ghosts are not too strong, I am enough to suppress them and let you control them."
"I don't know why, but when I heard the last few sentences, I was a little depressed!" Shi Chishang scratched his hair and said with a bitter smile.
"Why are you depressed?" Yu Lewei rolled her eyes at him and scolded with a smile, "Wouldn't it be nice for me to help you?"
"Okay, okay, okay," Shi Chishang asked, "Then when will we prepare the formation?"
Yu Lewei replied: "Wait a minute. I went to Xuanyuan Yun during the day just to purchase some materials for setting up the formation. Fortunately, this is a cave controlled by the Xuanyuan family. With their help, all the necessary materials have been gathered. , after it’s over, we’ll go out of the city to set up the formation.”
Shi Chishang hummed twice, secretly took out the jade slip that Yu Lewei gave him, and found information about ghosts and beasts.
These ghost beasts are more similar to the contracted spirit beasts in some novels. Through the contract, a master-servant or symbiotic relationship is established, which not only allows ghost practitioners to draw on the power of ghosts, but also control ghosts to fight.
However, ghosts are vicious by nature, and even if they are bound by a contract, ghosts often bite back on ghost practitioners.
In the subsequent auctions, Yu Lewei also made several attempts to purchase some materials needed for the formation.
These materials are all valuable. Shi Chishang sat next to him and looked at the "spiritual stones" of Yulewei flowers like flowing water. He felt secretly uneasy and hesitated: "Senior, is this summoning formation so expensive? Otherwise... …”
"Shut up!" Yu Lewei glared at him, "I've already bought it, and you're here to tell me how expensive it is? Junior brother, you've become evil!"
Seeing her anger, Shi Chishang smiled awkwardly and gave up the idea of dissuading her, but his gratitude to Yu Lewei became even stronger.
Half an hour later, before the auction ended, Shi Chishang and Yu Lewei had quietly left, taking the materials needed for the array with them. After leaving the city, they went straight to the formation location chosen by Yu Lewei, Youyue Canyon.
This is a grand canyon located to the north of Fengdu Ghost City. The ghosts in it are not very strong. The strongest ghosts known so far are only ghost soldiers. However, there are too many ghosts in this canyon. According to Fengdu Ghost Traces According to information released by the magazine in the latest issue, the number of ghosts in Youyue Canyon has reached nearly 700,000.
With such a number, even a ninth-level expert like Yu Lewei would not dare to break in wantonly.
However, it is precisely because this place is too dangerous that few practitioners dare to come here. Yu Lewei chose to set up the formation here in the hope of avoiding being discovered by others.
After the two came to the canyon, they both restrained their auras. Following the route Yu Lewei had explored in advance, they turned west and east in the valley. After avoiding more than a dozen waves of ghosts, the two finally entered a cave.
This cave was discovered by Yu Lewei when she came here for training in her early years. It is extremely secretive, and the entrance of the cave is covered by a phantom formation, so even though several years have passed, no ghosts have discovered this place.
After the two entered the cave, Yu Lewei took out the materials she had purchased before and arranged them carefully.
He didn't feel anything before, but after entering the canyon, Shi Chishang found that Yu Lewei seemed not to be affected by the ghost energy around him, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior, I think you are not afraid of ghost energy!"
For ghost practitioners, the biggest trouble is the negative power contained in Yin Qi, ghost Qi, and death Qi. Therefore, as long as there is a means to resist these negative forces, it is the highest secret in each major sect, and it is also the most important. Taboo others to explore.
But Shi Chishang didn't know about this kind of thing. He himself had "Soul Evolution" that could resolve violent thoughts. As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. He had this ability when he first started practicing, so naturally he didn't think it was rare.
Yu Lewei made a move, then smiled sweetly and said softly: "My natal ghost is a disaster phoenix. Its immortal phoenix flame can help me resolve the negative forces in the Yin Qi."
In the information given by Yu Lewei, there is also content about controlling ghosts, but there is less detailed content and most of it is just an introduction.
In ancient times and even in the prehistoric period, Ghost Dao practitioners were famous for their combat prowess.
The reason why they have such strong combat power is that apart from the fact that ghost practitioners are affected by the negative power due to absorbing yin energy and fight without fear of death, another reason is that they can control ghosts.
The more powerful the practitioners are, the more powerful their souls tend to be, and ghost practitioners can rely on secret techniques to forcibly imprison the souls of strong people after death, and refine them into puppet-like existences to fight for themselves.
This kind of control generally falls into two categories.
One type is ordinary ghosts. Ghost practitioners can control a large number of ghosts, torture and squeeze them, and make them burst out with terrible violence. Ghost practitioners can collect these violent energies and turn them into attacks.
The other category is natal ghosts.
Such ghosts are usually extremely powerful during their lifetime, so they can retain their sanity and memory after death.
It is difficult for ghost practitioners to recover such ghosts. They can only rely on establishing a contract to make them their own ghosts, forming a coexistence similar to Cordyceps sinensis.
But Shi Chishang already knew what the natal ghost was, and he was surprised and said: "It's awesome!"
Yu Lewei smiled softly and did not explain. The biggest difference between natal ghosts and ordinary ghosts is that they have a deeper connection with each other. Although the help they receive is greater, it is also easier to attract backlash from natal ghosts.
The reason why she is able to become the number one among the younger generation of ghosts is not only because of her amazing talent, but also because after signing a contract with the disaster phoenix since she was a child, she has always received backlash from the other party, and has to desperately force herself to practice to suppress the disaster phoenix.
Although the formation method for summoning ghosts across borders is widely circulated, it requires too many materials, and the layout may be wrong if you are not careful. Therefore, it took Yu Lewei a full three hours to complete this building that covers an area of nearly two meters. A formation of one hundred square meters was arranged.
Instructing Shi Chishang to go to the center of the formation, Yu Lewei said: "I will activate the big formation first, and you can use the good luck charm inside it first. Remember, because it is only effective for three seconds, you must do it within three seconds. The center of the formation carves its own mark, do you understand?"
Shi Chishang nodded, took out the good luck charm from his pants pocket, walked slowly to the center of the formation, and then looked back at Yu Lewei.
Seeing him, Yu Lewei took a deep breath and controlled the ghost power to be released. Different from Shi Chishang's gray-white soul power, Yu Lewei's ghost power was dark red and exuded a scorching heat.
After a few breaths, Yu Lewei had activated the formation. In an instant, billowing ghost energy gathered from all directions and submerged into the formation flags. Following the formation patterns, they gradually appeared in the formation and gradually appeared and disappeared. Fu Zhuan.
Seeing the talismans and seals gradually forming into something like an altar, Shi Chishang knew that the time had come, so he poured his soul power into the good luck talisman. As the good luck talisman turned into dots of fluorescence and submerged into his body, Shi Chi Shang Shang suddenly felt that his whole body felt inexplicably several times more comfortable, and his control over his soul power and thoughts had reached an unprecedented level.
Knowing that this was the effect of the good luck talisman, Shi Chishang did not dare to delay, and immediately he put his thoughts deep into the heart of the formation and carved a mark on his soul.
In an instant, the altar buzzed and trembled, and a force seemed to come from somewhere, carrying Shi Chi Shang's soul imprint, directly into the void through the altar.
Fengdu Cave is connected to the ghost world. If you set up an array here to summon ghosts, the ghosts that can be summoned will undoubtedly be more powerful. Coupled with the effect of Shi Chishang's good luck charm, the summoned ghosts will definitely be the most suitable for Shi Chishang. The most powerful.
In just two seconds, the power that penetrated into the void suddenly retreated, but Shi Chishang could clearly sense that the power was still enveloping a figure, which should be a ghost summoned by the formation.
With a brushing sound, the moment the ghost was dragged to the altar, the previous power had disappeared. Only the altar condensed by the formation was still suspended in the air, sealing the ghost firmly on it.
Although Yu Lewei stood far away, she could still clearly see the appearance of the ghost relying on the formation. Her fox eyes suddenly widened, and a bit of surprise appeared on her usually cold face.
The figure was about two meters tall. Although he wore human clothes like them, he had the head of a horse and the body of a man. His limbs were hoofs instead of hands. He was the most famous horse-faced clan in the legends of the ghost world and even the human world!
