(I missed some harvests in the previous chapter. I would like to add here that there are also six puppet beasts and six high-grade spiritual stones. These are the harvests of Li Changhai at the entrance of the cave.)
Ye Jin was a little surprised that he was really a ghost cultivator.
Seemingly sensing Ye Jin's surprise, Kong Xin took the initiative to explain:
"So that Fellow Daoist Ye will know that my transformation into a ghost cultivator is actually due to my cultivation technique."
"Kung Fu?" Ye Jin was confused.
If he remembered correctly, he remembered that the exercise he found in Kong Xin's storage bag was an ordinary second-level exercise called "Dry Water Sutra". This type of exercise was something off the street, basically. You can buy it at any store.
Obviously, the "Dry Water Sutra" cannot have this effect, which shows that the method practiced by Kong Xin is not actually like this.
Kong Xin on the other side nodded, and without Ye Jin mentioning it, he said in a respectful tone:
"Fellow Daoist Ye, can you borrow a blank jade slip from Kong for a while?"
Ye Jin nodded slightly. He was a little curious about the exercises Kong Xin practiced. Obviously, the "Dry Water Sutra" in Kong Xin's storage bag was just a fake, and the real exercises would only record his head. inside.
Send a blank jade slip to Kong Xin.
Kong Xin took the jade slip, placed it between his eyebrows, closed his eyes and imprinted the technique.
After a while, Kong Xin opened his eyes and handed the jade slip back to Ye Jin calmly:
"Fellow Taoist, please take a look."
"It was by chance that I got it from an underground palace in a sinister place."
Ye Jin nodded, used his spiritual sense to probe into the jade slip, and carefully read this somewhat strange technique.
After a stick of incense.
Ye Jin, who retrieved his spiritual consciousness from the jade slip, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
It turns out that the technique that Kong Xin practiced was called his "Secret Sutra of Ghost Cultivation".
But it is different from ordinary ghost cultivation methods.
Ordinary ghost cultivation techniques have been limited from the beginning to those that can only be practiced by ghost cultivators. Without the existence of ghost cultivators, living beings and corpses cannot practice them.
But "The Secret Book of Ghosts" is different.
In the opening chapter of "The Secret Sutra of Underworld Ghosts", it turns out that living creatures can also practice cultivation.
After practicing the "Secret Sutra of Underworld Ghosts", you need to draw a trace of netherworld energy into your body every year in the land of evil spirits. Over time, you will gradually transform from a living creature to a ghost cultivator, and finally cultivate into what is mentioned in the "Secret Sutra of Underworld Ghosts" The underworld ghost.
According to the secret scriptures, if one cultivates into a ghost, its power will be overwhelming, and it has the ability to transform into human and demon Yuanying.
Of course.
The "Secret Book of Ghosts" in Kong Xin's hand is only a fragmentary copy. It only has the first three levels of cultivation methods, but after the third level, there are no more.
But even so, this "Secret Sutra of Ghosts" is also a very powerful technique.
Although long-term absorption of Netherworld Qi will cause the coexistence of spirit and ghost in the body, and the skin color will be as pale as that of a dead person. When Kong Xin was on the road before, his skin was abnormally pale because of his long-term absorption of Netherworld Qi.
The reason why Kong Xin was able to transform into a ghost cultivator after death was because of the Netherworld Qi in his body.
Of course, since the body was not transformed into a ghost cultivator normally, although Kong Xin came back from the dead, he could no longer practice "ghost ghost".
But this didn't matter to Kong Xin, as long as he could survive. He had no hope of cultivating to a realm as powerful and terrifying as "Underworld Ghost".
Frankly speaking, this "Secret Book of Ghosts" is very scary.
Ye Jin came to this conclusion after almost understanding all the context of this technique.
You must know that a normal dead creature cannot be transformed into a ghost cultivator.
Under normal circumstances, those who can transform into ghost cultivators are at least at the Zifu Ningshen stage, because only practitioners at this stage can have their souls strong enough to stay in the world even if they die.
Below the third level, let alone the first level, even if it is the second level of foundation building and transparency, it is basically impossible for a practitioner at this stage to turn into a ghost cultivator if he dies.
Being able to transform into a ghost cultivator at this stage is all due to the right time, place, people and people. Under the influence of various factors, it was a coincidence that it was successful.
Especially in terms of environmental requirements, it must be an extremely gloomy place like the Miasma Swamp, and the practitioner must have a strong soul to be able to transform into a ghost cultivator.
Otherwise, even if the soul is condensed, it will be nothing more than a mindless ghost.
But with the "Secret Book of Underworld Ghosts", it's different!
Obviously, this ancient cave cannot be an extremely yin place.
But Kong Xin was still refined into a ghost cultivator. Obviously, all this was due to the "Secret Sutra of Ghost Ghosts" being able to absorb the ghost energy at one level.
Absorbing Nether Qi all the year round, it doesn't matter if the creature is not in the extremely Yin place, as long as the soul is enough, it can be transformed into a ghost cultivator.
Of course, this does not mean that after practicing the "Secret Sutra of Ghosts", one will definitely be able to transform into a ghost cultivator after death.
Otherwise, this technique would be too unnatural.
It is equivalent to giving the practitioner a second life. Doesn't this mean everyone can practice this technique?
Successfully transforming into a ghost cultivator still requires sufficient soul strength and a bit of luck.
The existence of the "Secret Book of Ghosts" only replaces the geographical condition of the extremely yin place. Whether it can truly transform ghost cultivators still depends on one's own soul.
Kong Xin was able to transform, which proved that his soul was not weak, and he was lucky, so after turning into a ghost, he could still have his mind and continue to practice.
But even so, these small shortcomings, which are not considered shortcomings, cannot cover up the power of this "Secret Book of Ghosts"!
The fifth level skill!
Although there are only the first three levels, its overall value is no worse than the "Netherworld Sutra" in Ye Jin's hand.
If one could collect the last two levels of skills, their value would be so great that they could even attract the covetous attention of the Nascent Soul's transformation power!
He put the jade slip away calmly, and Kong Xin pretended not to see the person opposite.
"Friend Kong Dao, you are in good luck."
A half-smile appeared on Ye Jin's face, and she looked towards the opposite side with a smile.
Kong Xingxin said, smiling bitterly and shaking his head: "Kong is not lucky. If he was really lucky, I would not be able to misunderstand people, be attacked and killed, and not be able to be a human being. I can only live as a lonely ghost... …”
Kong Xin was talking about Zhao Yongming.
If he had known that Zhao Yongming would leak the information about the Guxiu Cave Mansion, he should have killed him mercilessly when he discovered the Guxiu Cave Mansion.
You said it was okay for Zhao Yongming to leak the news, but you also found a terrifying sword cultivator at the eighth level of foundation building who understood the thunderous sound of sword energy. Isn't this looking for death?
Thinking of this, Kong Xin felt that something was wrong.
The terrifying sword cultivator Li Changhai, who was on the eighth level of the foundation building and understood the thunderous sound of sword energy, died at the hands of the seemingly inconspicuous Ye Jin.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Kong Xin is no different from Zhao Yongming...
They are all luring the wolf into the house.
It's just that Zhao Yongming lured a bad wolf, and Kong Xin lured a hidden wolf.
Thinking of this, Kong Xin couldn't help but fall silent. Based on this calculation, there was no such thing as an equal share from the beginning of this trip to the ancient cave.
In fact, Ye Jin also saw that Kong Xin's character was not bad. He might have the selfish nature of a casual cultivator, but he was still good in nature. This could be seen from the fact that he did not kill Zhao Yongming.
If it were Ye Jin, unless Zhao Yongming and she were life-and-death friends, they might not be able to trust even blood relatives in the face of interests.
The benefits are exciting.
"What are your plans for the future, Fellow Daoist Kong?" Ye Jin asked.
Kong Xin did not hide anything and said honestly: "The top priority is to stabilize your cultivation first. Then we will see whether to return to Qianba Island later. I may ask Master Mingpo for instructions."
Noticed Ye Jin's doubtful gaze.
Kong Xin replied calmly: "This "Secret Sutra of Ming Gui" was actually dedicated to Master Ming Po when Kong first obtained it. As a result, Kong gained a relationship with Master Ming Po and gained a lot of benefits."
The sudden death also disrupted Kong Xin's plan. Originally, Kong Xin planned to transform ghost cultivators while he was still alive, but now he died unexpectedly and had to transform ghosts.
This also caused Kong Xin's aura to fluctuate at this moment, rising and falling, sometimes at the second level, sometimes at the first level.
When Ye Jin heard this, he suddenly asked the doubt he had been hiding in his heart for a long time:
"Fellow Daoist Kong, do you know where Master Mingpo came from?"
Kong Xin was stunned for a moment, and after hearing Ye Jin's question clearly, he was confused that Ye Jin, who seemed to have some relationship with Ming Po, didn't know the origin of Ming Po.
Despite his inner doubts, Kong Xin patiently explained:
"To be honest, Kong doesn't know much about Master Mingpo's origins, but Kong knows one thing..."
"Oh? Fellow Taoist, please tell me."
Kong Xin said this with a somewhat obscure expression on his face:
"As far as I know, even the five leaders of Qianye Hall are respectful to Master Mingpo."
Ye Jin's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he was a little shocked.
The five leaders of the Purple Mansion on Chiba Island actually gave in to the mysterious Hades? !
You must know that the five third-level Zifu Ningshen of Qianye Hall are not just simple goods in the early stage. Even the weakest one has the powerful strength of Zifu in the later stage.
Strong men such as Lei Hao, and even more so, a cultivator with spiritual roots who is perfect in the Zi Mansion and hopes to form a pill.
Even people like Lei Hao are respectful to Ming Po...
Doesn't that mean that this mysterious old woman, who seems inconspicuous and looks like she's going to be buried at any time, can actually be a powerful pill-forming expert? !
Ye Jin was surprised and awed by thinking that Ming Po was a third-level Zifu real person.
What he hadn't thought of yet was that Ming Po might actually have the terrifying strength of the Dan Formation Stage!
certainly.
All this is Ye Jin's guess. Whether Ming Po really has the realm of forming a pill, no one except Ming Po herself will know clearly.
But Ming Po is very powerful.
Ye Jin was very glad that he had established a relationship with Ming Po, so that if he provoked an enemy of level three or above in the future, he would at least make people fear him, right?
But in the final analysis, you still have to be strong enough.
Ye Jin still has a clear understanding of this.
After thinking about this, Ye Jin saw that Kong Xin's soul was a little blurry, and his face looked like he wanted to leave but didn't dare to speak, and said with a smile:
"If Brother Kong is in an emergency, please leave first."
When Kong Xin heard Ye Jin say these words, the big stone in his heart finally fell, and he held his hands in gratitude with a sigh of relief:
"Kong took the first step."
"Go ahead, I won't send you away."
Kong Xin bowed his hands in thanks again, then turned around and flew out of the cave.
Both of them did not mention the harvest in the ancient cave. The reason is of course self-evident.
For Kong Xin, it was a great blessing to be able to save a life, and he did not dare to ask for too much.
Besides, after transforming into a ghost cultivator, Kong Xin's demand for [Purple Marrow Pill] and [Amethyst Chalcedony] for human cultivators was greatly reduced.
For ghost cultivators, a good extremely yin place is not much worse than these treasures of heaven and earth.
Looking at Kong Xin's leaving figure, Ye Jin stood motionless.
It is undeniable that Ming Po, who is suspected to be a powerful pill-forming expert, also considered giving Kong Xin a way out.
Of course, there is also the reason that Kong Xin himself is not bad in nature. Regarding practitioners who have no ill intentions towards him, Ye Jin is not a murderer and will kill everyone he sees.
Seeing that Kong Xin had left the cave, Ye Jin did not stay much and continued to explore the main room of his ancient cave.
After walking through the long and narrow corridor, a main room not much smaller than the cave hall came into view soon.
Unexpected.
The space in the entire main room is not as luxurious and bright as expected. On the contrary, it is unexpectedly simple and even empty.
A jade bed, a futon, a low table, and nothing else.
Ye Jin's eyes were focused on the futon from the beginning.
To be precise, he was sitting cross-legged on a dead bone on a futon.
It is obvious that this withered bone is probably the owner of this ancient cave.
Without letting down his guard, Ye Jin walked up to the futon.
In front of the withered bones, there was a jade slip lying quietly on the ground. It was obvious that this was left by the owner of this place to future generations.
With his eyes moving slightly, Ye Jin summoned the jade slip into his hand, then put his spiritual sense into it and read the contents inside.
A quarter of an hour later.
Ye Jin finally understood the past experience of the owner of this cave.
This person's name is Zhang Yonglin, and he is from the same generation as Zhang Yongpeng, the Zizhiang in the Guangyuan Secret Realm Palace. They are both disciples of the Guangyuan Zongyong generation.
According to Zhang Yonglin, when he completed the foundation building, he walked out of the mountain gate and traveled to the Canglan Sea. By chance, he got the opportunity of Zifu, and then broke through Zifu somewhere.
But he didn't expect that not long after he broke through, he would be chased by a strong man who was a remnant of the third-level Heavenly Demon Sect.
Zhao Yonglin, who had just broken through the Zi Mansion, exhausted all his means and finally killed the remnant of the Heavenly Demon Sect. However, he himself was fatally injured and his life was short-lived.
In desperation, Zhao Yonglin had no choice but to accept the reality, opened this cave before his death, waited for the end of his life, and hoped that those who would come after him could bring his bones back to Guangyuan Sect.
As for the reward, apart from the Dragon Beard Purple Spirit Flower, Yuan Magnetic Coral, and Breaking the Forbidden Ruler, the most valuable thing turned out to be that inconspicuous piece of silver cake!
This turned out to be a semi-finished magic weapon!
And it’s also a defensive magic weapon!
Yes.
This piece of silver cake was originally the magic weapon that Zhao Yonglin planned to use after breaking through the Zifu, but he did not expect to encounter this disaster and the magic weapon was only half-refined.
