Chapter 39: The Wonder of Divine Awareness, the Great Completion of the Family God

Yu Que felt everything around him and was extremely happy.

Especially Baosong, who had already integrated into his soul, made him feel a sense of fulfillment from the bottom of his heart.

"Is this my Yin God?" He couldn't help but lower his head and kept looking at his current appearance.

The proportions of his body were the same as his physical body, even the length of his hair was the same, but his overall size had shrunk to a mere three inches.

In the Yin God, there is still a faint shadow of Baosong, which can appear beside him at any time to protect him.

Wow!

Yu Que's heart moved, he kicked his legs and started to move, and his Yin Spirit staggered out from the top of his physical body, walked in the air to the left and right, and began to try to completely leave the body.

However, when he approached the edge of the altar, he felt a burning sensation in his face, which made his Yin Shen's face show shock and he stopped immediately.

This is a fire room. Just now, there was a real fire sweeping through the fire room, killing a century-old ghost. There is still residual fire energy around, which is very effective in restraining evil spirits.

Although Yu Que's current form is called the Yin God, he is actually just a Yin ghost like the family god.

Moreover, his Yin Spirit is still in its infancy. Even with the protection of visualization, he is still weaker than ordinary wronged spirits. He will turn into ashes if he is not careful. He must stay away from water, fire and other things.

The reason why he can now move freely on the altar is thanks to the effectiveness of the ritual, which makes the area within a three-foot radius filled with incense, creating an environment that can protect the evil spirits and prevent him from losing his soul.

Although he could only move on the three-foot altar, because Yu Que's Yin Spirit was short, this space was enough for him to play around for a while.

He darted left and right, sometimes passing through his own head, and sometimes diving into his own belly, "opening his eyes" to see his colorful internal organs.

The blood vessels, acupoints, bones and tendons of his body were all clearly visible before him.

He seemed to be able to see through all the mysteries of the human body at a glance.

This situation is also one of the great benefits that the immortals get after they have cultivated into Yin Spirits, which allows them to "see inside"!
The so-called inner vision means that the immortals can use their Yin spirit to leave their bodies and personally observe their own flesh, blood, tendons and bones.

Like Yu Que, he had already cultivated into a Yin God before opening up the ancestral temple. He already possessed the spiritual awareness that only eighth-grade immortals possess, and the effect of his inner vision was even stronger.

In addition to using his Yin Spirit to observe his internal organs, he can also use his spiritual consciousness to accurately capture the direction of Qi and blood in the body and the circulation of essence and energy, so he can grasp the state of his own body more clearly and accurately.

But after Yu Que looked at his body from head to toe, his gloomy brows furrowed and his little face suddenly became gloomy.

"My body is only fifteen years old, not even sixteen yet. I have also taken many tonics recently to maintain the strength of my Qi and blood, but why is my Qi and blood only weak and not like a young man full of vitality!?"

His eyes were gloomy and he soon found the reason.

This condition of qi and blood deficiency was most likely related to the hard work he had done in Zheng Laohei's haunted shop over the previous month!
Because every time they cooked up a ghost, he and Fang Mulian had to consume their own energy and blood to suppress the ghost and stir the oil pan, and sometimes they even had to bleed for nourishment. This kind of consumption was always equivalent to the consumption when he captured the cat-faced house god.

Even if there are tonics that can replenish qi and blood in time, they will eventually lose a lot of qi and blood first, and then stimulate the body to produce new qi and blood, and this happens day after day, and they are constantly in deficit, so it is better to lose than to replenish.

Even though Yu Que's current situation is fine, if he works for a while longer, three to five years without stopping, he will definitely be deeply destitute by then, and even his marrow may be drained dry.

"It's not bad. I only worked in that hellhole for more than a month. Although my physical essence has been damaged, it can be restored with a little care. Especially now that I have cultivated into a Yin God and have spiritual consciousness, I can completely treat the symptoms."

Yu Que pondered, his expression slightly relaxed.

Now that he can see inside himself, he also possesses spiritual awareness. Not only now, but from now on, all the ailments in his physical body and all the changes in his essence and energy will be clearly revealed. He only needs to take the medical books on the market and he can follow the instructions to treat his illness. It is extremely simple.

This is also the reason why the immortals, even those who have just entered the ninth level, can theoretically prolong their lifespan and live to be a hundred years old.

Of course, the immortals' longevity is only theoretical.

According to what Yu Que knew, many immortals trapped in the ninth level realm would not only not live to be a hundred years old, but often could hardly live beyond sixty years, which was worse than some mortals.

As for the reason here, Yu Que didn't quite understand it before, but when he compared himself now, he guessed that the reason was the same as when he worked in the haunted shop.

Once the body's vital energy continues to be depleted, no matter how many panaceas you have, it will not be able to be restored unless you quit your job.

Moreover, real immortals often have more than one ghost and god they raise. If they do not have enough money and food in their pockets, the gods that were originally worthy of envy will all become debt collectors who want to eat people's essence.

Thinking of this, Yu Que felt a chill in his heart.

He quickly set his gaze on the cat-faced family god in his body, and extended his spiritual consciousness to immediately capture the cat-faced family god.

Meow! A soft cat cry sounded.

At his command, the cat-faced family god turned into gray gas, tremblingly crawled out of Yu Que's body, and then crawled in front of his Yin God.

The scene of real fire sweeping through the fire room just now, clearing away all the evil spirits, really frightened the cat-faced god and made it tremble with fear. If it were not for Yu Que's order, it would never dare to take another step out of the outside world.

Yu Que stared at the cat-faced household god and found that it was constantly stealing the essence of his body. Although it was slight, it never stopped for a moment.

With a thought, he let the cat-faced household god radiate its ferocity, and then returned to the body and possessed it.

During the various movements, the cat-faced family god consumed more energy, greedily and hungrily absorbing the energy from his body. When the movements were too large, they even faintly touched his origin.

Seeing this scene, Yu Que couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Although I already knew that you, a vicious creature, would devour my essence, but seeing it with my own eyes, it still makes me panic."

He estimated that, with the way the Cat-Faced House God ate, even if he rarely fought with others, his situation in his later years would not be much better, especially after he was over sixty years old, when his Qi and blood were declining. It was impossible for him to live to be a hundred years old.

"No wonder the more ferocious the household gods are, the more difficult they are to support for non-immortals, and they carry a certain ominous quality."

In silence, Yu Que became more eager to take the examination for the county school and open a ancestral temple.

Before he opened up the ancestral temple, he could only use his own energy to support the family gods. After he opened up the ancestral temple and became a true immortal, he could use incense to support them. Unless he really had no incense or consumed too much, the family gods would devour his energy and blood.

Moreover, when the household gods consume the incense, they will also feed back to the remaining Yin gods. This kind of feeding back is also the key to the practice of immortals, which can strengthen the Yin gods and increase their magic power!

Yu Que was thinking about the imperial examination, and his mood was even more excited and heroic, which made his yin spirit shake slightly and his body unstable.

In addition, he realized that his Yin Spirit had stayed outside the body for quite a long time, so he thought about it and returned to his body.

Zheng!
In the fire room, Yu Que's eyes suddenly opened, with a gleam of light in them, like two freshly sharpened steel knives.

He suddenly stood up, jumped out of the altar, then walked around the altar, pacing to stretch his muscles.

After pacing for a while, he felt his body warm and his blood circulation was smooth. Apart from the occasional stinging pain from the wound on his tongue, he was in very good condition!
“I wonder if the consciousness still exists after the Yin God returns to his place?”

A thought emerged in Yu Que's mind, and he immediately closed his eyes slightly.

The next moment, he perceived that streams of yellow light spread out from his body again. His entire body was like a torch, illuminating the surroundings, and the scene within a three-foot range around him appeared clearly in his mind again.

Even if the Yin Spirit does not leave the body, he can still release his spiritual consciousness.

Realizing this, Yu Que's face lit up with excitement, and he completely understood why the Alchemist Guild attached so much importance to cultivating into a Yin God in advance.

With this divine consciousness, when he refines ghosts and gods in the future, he only needs to hold the ghosts and gods in his hands to know everything about them. It is much more convenient. Moreover, within the range of his divine consciousness, he will not be deceived and will be able to protect himself and guard against danger.

Besides, Yu Que has this divine awareness, so from now on, no matter whether he is frying ghosts and gods or roasting them with wine, he does not need to touch them with his own hands or tongue.

With just a thought, he can estimate the timing, and the level of safety and accuracy is unimaginable for those without spiritual awareness!

While in the fire room, Yu Que suddenly became inspired and sat cross-legged in front of the fire pit, probing his spiritual consciousness into the fire pit.

A burning sensation quickly appeared in his heart, as if it was going to burn his entire body.

Fortunately, there was a formation in the fire room. He only needed to withstand the heat, and as soon as he thought about it, clusters of flames would move in front of his eyes, changing shape according to his wishes.

Yu Que looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

After playing around for a while, he tried to use his spiritual sense to lift stones and peas, but unfortunately he failed. He couldn't even lift a piece of light paper money.

After the paper money was lit, the incense inside was released, and he was able to control the incense and make it dance in the air.

This made him realize that although the immortals' spiritual consciousness was mysterious, it could only control invisible things but could not touch visible things.

When Yu Que saw this, he sighed with regret in his heart.

"As the book says, the ninth-rank and lower-rank immortals mainly use divine attacks, followed by magic tools and talisman paper, while the eighth-rank and higher immortals use various spells from a distance."

He also vaguely remembered seeing it in a Taoist book, which said that if one wanted to control a flying sword and take off a person's head from a hundred steps away, one must reach the eighth level of cultivation. Otherwise, it would be better to just hold a sword in hand.

Yu Que originally thought that if he had cultivated into a Yin God ahead of time and possessed divine consciousness, he would be able to obtain all the methods of an eighth-grade immortal in advance. But now it seems that this is still not entirely true.

But after sighing, the expression in his eyes immediately returned to normal.

Although he cannot control the flying sword, he is surrounded by spiritual consciousness. Even if the range is only three feet, he can develop many methods.

For example, if he had talisman paper, after lighting it, he could use his spiritual consciousness to guide the magic in the talisman paper, making it steady, accurate and ruthless; for another example, he could also carry hidden weapons on his body and use his spiritual consciousness to assist the hidden weapons in shooting...

However, Yu Que daydreamed for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he tried another method.

His pupils dilated and instantly turned into cat's eyes. Streams of gray air surged in his eyes, releasing bursts of murderous intent!

A smile appeared on Yu Que's face. After looking around the fire room, he slowly walked to the wall of the fire room again, stretched out his finger, and gently stroked it.

Hiss! The surface of the wall melted away easily like tofu.

After his fingers had penetrated one foot inside, they began to feel obvious resistance, like mud. When they reached two feet, they seemed unable to move further. It was not until they reached three feet that they were completely unable to move and could not penetrate.

At this time, Yu Que rubbed a handful of stone powder and took out his fingers. He looked at his white and tender fingers with only the tip of the nails long, and the smile on his face became even wider.

Compared with before, when he used the possession of the household god, he no longer needed to have smoke on his face or transform into a cat corpse. Instead, he had reached the point where it was as easy as pie. He could use the magic power of the cat-faced household god with just a move of his hands and feet.

This level of familiarity between him and the Cat-Faced Family God is reflected in his advancement from "minor success" to "great success"!
This is another happy thing for him.

The Cat-Faced Family God has reached his peak. If he fights with others again, his movements will be faster, more agile, and more difficult to defend against than before.

For example, if Yu Que were to kill Fu Shiqi now, who is in good condition, it would be as easy as killing a chicken and the matter would be over with ease.

"The family god has become so powerful. He is no longer full of ghostly aura, but finally has a bit of immortal bearing." Yu Que admired his own slender and delicate, yet hard as gold and iron fingers, and couldn't help but praise:

"If the mastery of that household god is perfect, what a spectacle it would be!"

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes again and looked around the fire room, wondering whether he should perform the lantern ceremony again.

The "Seven Corpses' Returning Lights" is a spirit-nourishing lamp ritual, and its function is to increase the maturity of the immortals and household gods, allowing the household gods to give back to the immortals and stimulate the condensation of the Yin spirits.

Now he had only performed the ritual once, and the cat-faced household god had become mature and gained great benefits. If he performed it a few more times and continued to work hard, would he be able to achieve "perfection" and gain more benefits...

Yu Que was eager to make a move.
