Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 11: Soul Bone Inheritance (Please add to your favorites and continue reading)

A training ground between heaven and earth, a meditation room.

A soul crystal the size of a fist fell into his palm.

[Inheritance Soul Crystal: Crafted from an eighth-tier soul crystal. Its soul power is exhausted, but it contains a sixth-tier spirit-gathering array. Placed in a location rich in spiritual energy, it will naturally recover some energy after a period of time. Empty soul crystals can also be used for various alchemy and weapon crafting techniques. The soul crystal contains a Heaven-tier soul technique inheritance seed: Star Soul Bone - Torso! Human cultivators can also cultivate it; the minimum requirement to obtain the inheritance is the Divine Embryo Realm!]

The other five soul crystals have similar attributes.

They are all made of eighth-order soul crystals, and contain a heaven-order soul technique inheritance seed: Star Soul Bone.

The only difference is the location of the soul bone cultivation; the others are head, upper limb - left, upper limb - right, lower limb - left, and lower limb - right.

Soul bones are naturally very precious, originating only from high-level undead demons and ghosts, and their appearance always causes a frenzy at auctions. Human cultivators can only obtain them by hunting high-level demons and ghosts. It's unheard of to obtain soul bones through cultivation alone.

Li Chunfeng guessed that perhaps these six soul crystals were the core inheritance of the ancient Bone Spirit Empire, which had been buried in the long river of history.

It suddenly got a little hot to the touch.

Originally, I just wanted to earn some cultivation resources, but now I don't even dare to use them.

Moreover, soul crystals require charging, and he lacks the strength to obtain the inheritance.

Even with a great treasure in his hands, he was still a pauper.

Furthermore...

Li Chunfeng himself wasn't particularly fond of this so-called soul bone inheritance; he already possessed the talent of 'Soul Fusion and Unity.' Relying on his own cultivation was less appealing than raising several more and then fusing their souls.

What's a Heavenly Rank if there are enough of them?

Even the legendary Heavenly Ranks are not unattainable.

The best solution would be to pass on the Soul Technique to the Bone Spirit Clan, but he did not intend to make the Bone Spirit Clan his natal demon pet.

Perhaps, let them tame them before killing them?

That is also a matter for the future.

Let's upgrade first.

As we all know, the human body develops from a fertilized egg formed from the father's sperm and the mother's blood, while the three souls are formed by the convergence of the creation of heaven and earth. The soul is the yang spirit, and the corporeal soul is the yin spirit. The yang spirit can be divided into three parts, namely the three souls of heaven, earth, and man.

The seven souls are: Corpse Dog, Hidden Arrow, Sparrow Yin, Devouring Thief, Non-Poison, Eliminating Filth, and Stinky Lung.

The three souls and seven spirits are the foundation of a person. The seven spirits reside within the physical body, so when a person dies, the seven spirits also disappear. However, the seven spirits are restless and unsettled, and like the human heart, they bear various impurities, which are obstacles on the path of cultivation. The purpose of cultivation is to refine the essence, wash away impurities, let the spirit shine, and strengthen the divine soul.

The first stage of Refining the Spirit, the Divine Realm, is divided into seven levels. It requires stabilizing the seven souls and refining the spiritual light of the seven souls. Only when one has completely mastered one's own soul can one truly embark on the path of cultivation.

The Corpse Dog's Soul resides permanently within the Divine Aperture.

According to the teachings of the "Black Lotus Sutra of the Turbid World", Li Chunfeng first targeted the Corpse Dog Soul.

Dogs are the most loyal and serve as guard companions, being very alert. Even when a person is asleep, they can still perceive their surroundings; this is the body's early warning ability during sleep. Some people can sense someone trying to kill them with a knife while they are asleep; such a person's "dog spirit" is very sensitive.

Li Chunfeng entered the realm of the unseen, and thousands of black lotus petals transformed into a soul-searching net, forming a black lotus soul imprint.

Silently reciting the soul-searching incantation, the Corpse Dog's soul was instantly activated.

Li Chunfeng acted decisively, and the Black Lotus Soul Seal crashed down.

"Ow~"

A dog's howl that went straight to the soul sent a shiver down Li Chunfeng's spine.

Within the inner Heavenly Pool, a black dog shrouded in mist has already appeared, splashing and rolling on the water's surface.

"It's done!"

Li Chunfeng's cultivation has already reached the second level of the Divine Realm.

The enhancement of his divine soul caused black lotus petals to flutter and dance in the air, these falling blossoms...

Tens of thousands of black lotus petals fell and landed on the water of Tianchi Lake, where they immediately condensed into black lotus flowers.

Twenty-four petals make up one flower.

Each black lotus is a complete black lotus soul.

In a short while, 450 black lotuses of the twenty-four grades, each with its own bud, had already formed in the vast Heavenly Pool. These buds represented 450 black lotus souls.

If we quantify his soul, then his soul power data would be: [Soul Power: 450].

In theory, when the soul power of a first-level Divine Realm cultivator reaches 108, they can condense their first soul.

With 216 strands of soul power, one can condense a second soul.

Which cultivator who has just reached the second level of the Divine Realm has a richer spiritual power than him? Li Chunfeng felt that his spiritual perception had become more acute, and the derived mental power could already slightly affect some things within a six-zhang radius.

Unfortunately, the power of one's spiritual energy is determined by one's realm, not by the amount of mana one possesses.

【Black Lotus Sutra of a Turbid World - Level 12: 2 (1/2000)】

The second level of the first stage of the cultivation technique allows one to control the weight of... ten kilograms with their spiritual power.

Still a noob.

The power factor has actually increased more than tenfold compared to before.

At this point, less than a week had passed since the first Abyss Tribulation.

Li Chunfeng returned to the inner city.

At Song Zhijie's equipment repair shop, he took out a broken piece of armor and magical artifact.

This style is clearly not from the Earthly Realm; it's definitely a product of the Ghost Realm.

Song Zhijie picked it up and examined it. "It's too badly damaged to be worth repairing. But there are several restrictions inside that are unique to the Ghost Realm, making it very valuable for reference. If you were to sell it, it could be worth several hundred merit points."

"Uncle Song, do you need it? It's yours."

Song Zhijie gave him a serious look. Compared to half a month ago, Li Chunfeng's naivety remained undiminished, making him look like a complete novice.

However, Song Zhijie had cultivated a secret technique of perception, giving him extraordinary sensory abilities. In his perception, Li Chunfeng presented a contradictory picture.

Despite being just a young man who had just begun to understand things, he maintained a calm and composed aura throughout, as if he had everything under control. This feeling became even more pronounced when he returned half a month later.

Song Zhijie casually tossed the armor onto the workbench. "Are you having any difficulties with the training? I'm not busy lately, so feel free to ask for help anytime."

Seeing that he had accepted the armor, Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "There's no need to trouble Uncle Song for now; I can handle it. I just wanted to ask Uncle Song where there are a large number of first-tier demons and ghosts with outstanding combat power."

Song Zhijie thought for a moment and said, "There are a lot of Bone Spirits active in the Ghost Mist Grand Canyon, and Jiecheng has troops stationed there. Most of the people on the edge of the canyon are first-tier Bone Spirits wandering around. Be sure not to go deep into the canyon, as ghosts and monsters with strength above the first tier often appear there."

"Ghost Mist Grand Canyon, thank you, Uncle Song."

Song Zhijie continued, "The Bone Spirit race is a decent type of demon pet. They have a strict hierarchy and are fierce warriors. They excel at group combat and are also quite strong in close combat. Individual Bone Spirits range from Black Iron Bone Spirit Warriors to Bronze, Silver, and Gold Bone Spirits... and have excellent potential for advancement. If you're going to enter the canyon, I suggest you join a team to accompany you..."

"It won't go deep."

Even though it concerned his own life, he wasn't arrogant.

Song Zhijie said, "Your tribulation should be coming soon, right?"

"……Yes."

"Here are a few exorcism talismans. I don't know who left them here. I'm a martial artist, so I don't need them. You can take them."

Li Chunfeng looked at the neatly arranged bundle of talismans in front of him; the packaging was so new, it was clearly just bought. He was about to speak when Song Zhijie interrupted him.

The burly man, who never smiled, suddenly grinned at him, and it was incredibly ugly!

Li Chunfeng looked at him with a sense of familiarity.

They had only known each other for less than a month and didn't have much of a relationship. Perhaps it was because of his friendship with Teacher Yan, or perhaps he really saw him as a junior who needed to be taken care of, but Li Chunfeng felt unworthy of such treatment.

Song Zhijie patted his shoulder, then took out a magical wine gourd and said, "I heard that the first Abyss Tribulation is a beneficial trial, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. With your strength, as long as you don't take any risks, the first Abyss Tribulation shouldn't be too difficult for you. This is a farewell drink that my master gave me when I graduated from the Dao Academy. Over the years, when I occasionally think of those spirited years, I take a sip by myself. There's still more than half a gourd left, so take it with you when you leave. When you return from your tribulation, you'll be truly an adult. Next time you come back, we'll have another good drink together!"

"……it is good!"

This time, Li Chunfeng did not refuse again, but simply took the things with him.

He did not stay in the city. After resting for a while, he came to the city gate again, to Sister Lai's shop.

Take out a Yinzhi mushroom that has been aged for decades, a few ghost face mushrooms, and a clump of Soul-Eating Grass. As expected, Sister Lai gave her a discount.

Li Chunfeng received 1,300 merits.

These were the results of his travels over the past two weeks, which could be considered a slight improvement.

Afterwards, he gritted his teeth and bought a bottle of Soul Nourishing Pill and a bottle of Spirit Restoration Pill, spending 18,000 Dao Points, which almost emptied his pockets.

"Handsome young man, welcome back next time!"

Having made a big deal, Sister Lai's smile widened, and she even gave him two bottles of pills as a gift, saying, "Consider these two bottles of soldier's ration pills a present from your older sister."

"Thank you."
