Chapter 25 Xuan Huang Merit Fire

Although Lu Yan had never seen what the Red Lotus Karma Fire looked like, he was sure that the ball of flame with a majestic aura in his hand was definitely not the legendary Red Lotus Karma Fire. Instead, it was closer to the Xuanhuang Merit Fire mentioned in the "Secret Records of Magical Instruments".

The Xuanhuang Merit Fire is a magical fire refined by people with great merit. It is the genuine golden elixir magical power.

Although the fire in Lu Yan's hand could not be called a complete Xuanhuang Merit Fire, it at least had a hint of its charm.

You must know that the method of supernatural powers is a method that can only be mastered by Jindan Zhenren. In large sects, there are indeed some special supernatural powers that can be cultivated at a low level, but they often require extremely stringent requirements.

It could be some special physique, or some rare treasure from heaven and earth, only one in a hundred is qualified to practice it.

To cultivate a magical fire at the third level of Qi training, even if it is just a rudiment of the magical power, is enough to make people amazed.

Reaching out his hand to try to touch the mysterious fire, Lu Yan did not feel any burning or stinging pain. Instead, all the inner demons caused by the anxiety and confusion he had experienced in recent days disappeared, and he felt a sense of peace of mind.

In the Secret Records of Magical Instruments of the Demonic Way, there are only a few sentences describing the Xuanhuang Merit Fire.

The Xuanhuang Merit Fire is a very special kind among the magical powers. Under normal circumstances, its attacking ability is not strong. As a fire magical power, the Xuanhuang Merit Fire focuses most on self-protection, which can resist the inner demons and be immune to all kinds of invasion.

However, when facing evil demons, the power displayed by the Xuanhuang Merit Fire far exceeds that of the same level.

No matter what kind of magic spell or magic weapon it is, it cannot withstand the burning of the Xuanhuang Merit Fire. Even the Thousand Souls Banner, which is comparable to the Golden Elixir magic weapon, is no exception.

It is precisely because of the powerful restraint on magic tools that the relevant information about the magical power of Xuanhuang Merit Fire is recorded in "The Secret Records of Magic Tools".

However, the record of the Xuanhuang Merit Fire in the book is limited to this. After all, this is just a secret record of refining magic weapons, not a book of magical powers.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan slowly extended his right hand holding the Xuanhuang Merit Fire to the Soul Flag that had calmed down beside him.

The flames spread and shone onto the Soul Banner. The majestic and righteous aura seemed to be stimulated by something and began to grow rapidly, as if it wanted to expel all the impure aura on the Soul Banner.

Before the Xuanhuang Merit Fire even touched the Soul Banner, Lu Yan saw the hideous and terrifying expressions on the faces of the ninety or so resentful souls gathered on the banner disappear, and were replaced by expressions of extreme fear.

A shrill wailing sound came from the Soul Banner. Those resentful souls kept ramming into it, as if trying to break free from it and escape, but they could not escape its restraints at all.

"It is indeed the Xuanhuang Merit Fire!"

If it weren't for this kind of magical fire that is naturally able to restrain evil, these resentful souls would not be so frightened.

In terms of suppressing resentful souls, the effect of the Xuanhuang Merit Fire is far better than that of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire still needs to burn karma in order to deter the resentful souls, but the Xuanhuang Merit Fire has already made the resentful souls terrified before it has even been actually used, which naturally makes Lu Yan very happy.

This meant that his goal of suppressing the resentful spirit and regaining control of the Soul Banner had been achieved.

The only bad thing was that the wailing of these resentful souls went straight into Lu Yan's soul, giving him a headache and making him couldn't help but let out a loud roar.

"Shut up!"

The next moment, all the ghosts in the Soul Banner fell silent and dared not say another word.

Feeling the trembling of the resentful souls, Lu Yan thought for a while and dispersed the Xuanhuang Merit Fire, reaching out to touch the Soul Banner. Without the suppression of the Xuanhuang Merit Fire, the resentful souls in the Soul Banner seemed a little restless, but they did not resist due to the deterrence shown by Lu Yan before.

Lu Yan easily took the soul flag, which was close to the level of a top-grade magic weapon, in his hand.

"So easy?"

Lu Yan opened his eyes slightly, with an expression of disbelief.

It was no wonder that he was so surprised. It was because the riots of these resentful souls had troubled Lu Yan for too long, so that the Xuanhuang Merit Fire suppressed so many resentful souls before it even showed its power, making Lu Yan feel unreal.

He raised the soul flag in his hand, and the magic power in his body quickly dissipated, and all ninety-eight resentful souls and one main soul were trapped in the building.

The ghostly fog spread throughout the entire building, and the huge building seemed to be dragged into the underworld in an instant.

The resentful souls that had separated from the soul flags shuttled freely between the floors, surrounded by ghostly mist, and the resentful faces on their bodies stared straight at Lu Yan.

As the quality of the Soul Banner has been improved to a level close to that of a top-grade magical weapon, it has undergone earth-shaking changes. The range of the ghost fog and the distance for controlling resentful souls have been greatly improved.

The resentful souls within the Soul Banner had already reached the second level of Qi training the moment the Soul Banner was promoted to the highest grade. Their cultivation was equivalent to that of Lu Yan before, which was why Lu Yan found it difficult to suppress the resentful souls.

The moment Lu Yan released so many resentful souls, these resentful ghosts became restless. On the contrary, the strong man who was the main soul half-knelt on the ground with awe on his face.

The last time Lu Yan subdued the warrior, he completely subdued this main soul with low intelligence.

During these days, thanks to the help of Li Shi, the main soul of the Soul Banner, Lu Yan was able to suppress the resentful souls in the Soul Banner and prevent them from being exposed to the outside world and spreading the danger.

At this moment, Lu Yan took the initiative to release the resentful souls, which naturally caused them to feel uneasy. Many of them instinctively wanted to break free from Lu Yan's control.

The next moment, as if a majestic divine power had descended, a mysterious and yellow fire of merit rose from Lu Yan’s left hand.

Under the light of the fire, the large amount of ghost fog around Lu Yan melted like ice and snow, and the ghost fog that spread to the entire building was also mostly recovered under the suppression of the Xuanhuang Merit Fire.

The resentment on the faces of the resentful souls in the room turned into fear in an instant. They trembled and lay on the ground, worshiping Lu Yan like the strong men.

Restlessness, uneasiness, resentment, and twisted and complex emotions subsided in an instant.

Even the soul flag in Lu Yan's right hand seemed to sense the threat and took the initiative to lower its aura, as if it had turned into an ordinary object.

Lu Yan looked down at the ninety-odd resentful souls at the second level of Qi training in front of him, knowing in his heart that he had completely mastered this magic soul flag that was close to a top-grade magic weapon.

As a meritorious magical power, the Xuanhuang Merit Fire's effect in suppressing the evil spirits even exceeded Lu Yan's original imagination.

With the Xuanhuang Merit Fire, Lu Yan no longer has to worry about whether he can suppress this magical weapon. He can completely drive these resentful souls to hunt more zombies and condense more and stronger resentful souls for the Soul Banner.

As long as these resentful souls cannot escape the restraint of the Xuanhuang Merit Fire, Lu Yan will be able to perfectly control the Soul Banner, and then it will not be difficult to hunt down powerful zombies at the peak of Qi training.

Even when the number of resentful souls reached hundreds, Lu Yan was confident that he could hunt down the Foundation Establishment Corpse King with his Qi-cultivating body!
