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

Chapter 42: Corpse Dog Lurks, Arrows Lurk, Sparrows Devour Thieves
When Li Chunfeng was left alone, he chose to enter Yuancheng to refine the Spirit Soul Fruit.

Inside the stone house.

Li Chunfeng swallowed the Spirit Fruit in one gulp.

The spirit fruit smells quite fragrant, but it has little taste when you eat it.

Upon contact with bodily fluids, the Spirit Fruit immediately transformed into a wisp of pure energy, soaring upwards.

Li Chunfeng immediately felt boundless vitality overflowing within his body, as if a green spiritual light was shooting straight towards the top of his head. He began to actively guide this spiritual light into his divine aperture space.

Silently recite the calming mantra, visualize a black lotus, and enter a meditative state in an instant.

I immersed my mind in the practice of the "Black Lotus Sutra of the Turbid World".

In the inner scene, waves surged and subsided in the Heavenly Pool, countless black lotus buds bobbing and sinking in the moonlight. At first glance, the number of black lotus buds exceeded six thousand. Under the suppression of more than six thousand strands of soul power, each ripple in the Heavenly Pool's moonlight seemed to exert all its strength, even the bottom of the water appeared to become viscous.

Each wave crashing against the mountain peaks stirs up towering spray, releasing immense and surging energy.

Fortunately, the nine mountains surrounding Tianchi remained standing, perfectly serving as the boundary between the divine apertures. This was the fundamental reason why Li Chunfeng was able to support a massive amount of divine soul power that was not commensurate with his level of cultivation.

At this moment, a green spiritual light surged into the sky above the Heavenly Pool in the small inner landscape.

With a thought from Li Chunfeng, the sleeping little black tiger Fu Shipo roared and woke up, leaping up and devouring the green spiritual light in mid-air.

"go with!"

Countless black lotus buds shattered, and he mobilized his immense divine soul power to help refine the spiritual light of this Spirit Fruit.

Powered by the power of its soul, the little black tiger quickly began to radiate white light, and the black smoke around its body rapidly dissipated, gradually becoming crystal clear and glowing white.

On the incomplete jade disc, the progress of the cultivation technique of the Black Lotus Sutra in the Turbid World was also rapidly increasing.

By the time he had completely refined the Spirit Fruit, the little black tiger had grown up.

【Black Lotus Sutra of a Turbid World - Level 1: 3 (2565/3000)】 (Note 1)

In terms of data, a single Spirit Fruit increases the progress of cultivation techniques by approximately 2000+ points in the current realm, which is equivalent to saving more than two months of cultivation time in blessed lands.

The Heavenly Coins saved were secondary; the time saved was exactly what Li Chunfeng desperately needed.

The Spirit Fruit cannot be preserved for long; the longer it is kept, the more spiritual energy it loses. He can only refine it all as soon as possible.

After the second Spirit Soul Fruit was refined, the Fushi Soul Black Tiger had completely turned white and radiant, and its cultivation was complete.

His cultivation technique has also been upgraded to level 4, which means that Li Chunfeng has become a cultivator at the fourth level of the Divine Realm.

While the second spirit fruit still retained most of its spiritual light, Li Chunfeng immediately set up a soul-searching net to capture the third spirit.

Finally, they successfully captured the Sparrow Yin Soul in the lower abdomen.

After being absorbed into the inner realm, the Sparrow Yin Soul transformed into a gray sparrow, chirping and flitting about, before swallowing the remaining majority of the spiritual light in one gulp.

After reaching the fourth level of the Divine Realm, the effects of the Spirit Soul Fruit began to weaken, and the third Spirit Soul Fruit only increased the progress of the cultivation technique by 1500+.

After all four Spirit Fruits were refined, the effect of two and a half Spirit Fruits was enough to upgrade the "Black Lotus Sutra of the Turbid World" by one level.

The fourth spirit, the Devourer Spirit, was also successfully captured.

In the small interior scene, it manifests as a gray rat with shifty eyes.

【Black Lotus Sutra of the Turbid World - Level 1: 5 (123/5000)】.

In just one day, Li Chunfeng had already become a fifth-level cultivator in the Divine Realm.

Within the inner realm, the four spirits of Corpse Dog, Hidden Arrow, Sparrow Yin, and Devouring Thief each occupied the largest black lotus bud in the center, suppressing the surging waves of the Heavenly Pool Moonlight.

Having reached the fifth level of the Divine Realm, the basic range of his divine soul's perception did not increase as much as it did during his first refining of the corpse dog.

By successively refining the Hidden Arrow and Sparrow Shadow, and even capturing the Devouring Thief, the range of his perception continued to expand.

Currently, the area within a radius of 180 feet is entirely within my perception, and it is slowly expanding. However, if I were to seek more precise perception, this area would immediately shrink by more than half.

In terms of "power output," which Li Chunfeng was more concerned about, there has also been significant progress. The mental power derived from his soul is now capable of lifting objects weighing nearly two tons.

This is only a temporary measure, after all, the upgrade is too fast.

As he gradually refines his divine soul power and raises his divine soul pressure to the level required for the fifth level of the Divine Realm, the power coefficient of the black lotus mental energy that arises from it will naturally increase further.

Both the sensing range and the weight that can be moved will be improved.

"Om~"

With a thought, a long-lost magical artifact flew out. The Blood-Patterned Flying Needle was summoned and nimbly circled around the stone house.

"Chichi~"

As his thoughts shifted, the flying needles instantly pierced a stone target, leaving it riddled with holes.

Another pale green sword light flew out from the ring; the Cicada Flying Sword itself carried a three-foot sword light.

Suddenly, another blood-red flying knife followed. The Blood-Transforming Flying Knife, its blade flashing like blood, was designed to kill instantly upon contact with blood.

Upon reaching this level, flying sword-type magical artifacts were no longer just for show.

However, wielding a magical artifact is still somewhat difficult; a magic weapon is still more convenient.

So the caterpillar flew around once and then stuck its way into the increasingly long sideburns, turning into a hairpin.

Normally, you only need to use the 'Blood-Transforming Flying Knife' and 'Blood Pattern Flying Needle' to deal with enemies.

Feeling the increasingly heavy abyssal energy emanating from his body, Li Chunfeng finally ended his seclusion. After making some purchases in Yuan City, he prepared to undergo his tribulation.

"Drip drop~"

The key transmitted a message: "Ding ding ding ding, look behind you."

As Li Chunfeng turned his head, he saw the girl in the deer-head mask who had just stepped off the dueling platform waving at him enthusiastically.

"Li Chunfeng, I've already made it into the top 1000. Why are you still lagging behind? When are you planning to break into the rankings?"

Li Chunfeng searched and found that Lu Yun'er was already ranked 983rd. In just a few months, she had played over a thousand matches, making her a true ranking maniac.

"I'm preparing to undergo my tribulation," he said.

The girl paused for a moment, then feigned an exaggerated manner, saying, "Oh my, your second tribulation came so quickly! So... how about you transfer all your inheritance to me for safekeeping, so that you won't be stuck in the Abyss and all the good stuff won't just go to waste? Or if there's anything else you want to transfer, I can do it for you. Don't worry, with our friendship, I wouldn't embezzle anything, what do you say?"

As he spoke, he patted Li Chunfeng on the shoulder, indicating, "We're brothers, so don't worry, my friend, the inheritance is all in my hands."

Her doe-like eyes blinked repeatedly as she stared at Li Chunfeng, seemingly still expecting something.

"hehe!"

"Hehe, never mind, with your strength, a mere second tribulation is nothing to you. Remember to activate the image-recording bead later. I heard that if you can get a Godlike rating consecutively, you will receive great benefits. The more Godlike ratings you get, the higher your authority will be in Abyss City."

"What authority?"

"I haven't found out the details yet. Let me tell you a secret: I've successfully infiltrated a human race's God-level duel group. It's full of ranking maniacs, including Tie Chenzhou. Compared to them, I've only participated in a few duels. I heard about the privileges from them; judging from their vague explanations, it probably really does have many benefits. However, if you get consecutive God-level ratings, the difficulty of the tribulation will increase faster. Getting multiple God-level ratings isn't easy. Anyway, you decide for yourself; safety first."

"I've got it. Hmm, the abyssal energy has suddenly intensified; I should head over there."

"Ah! Here's a bottle of pills for you. Remember to come back safely..." Seeing her good friend right in front of her, and his body starting to fade, she suddenly felt a little panicked, even though she believed in Li Chunfeng's strength. She quickly tossed him a bottle of pills.

"No need, I'll be right back."

With a wave of his hand, Li returned the pill to its original owner, and then disappeared.
